Hello guys! So I decided to write a second chapter for my first fic 'Another Trip'. I loved all the reviews, the good and the bad ones, thank you so much. I hope you like this one too; keep sending me some reviews
(I do not own Harry Potter)
ANOTHER YEAR:
After my little 'incident' with Draco (damn, I shouldn't use his first name, unless we were alone, but I can't help it). I picked up my things and met Harry and Ron outside the train, ready to go to the carriage.
"Don't say anything about the thing at the train; I think she's in those days of the month." - Harry whispered to Ron, who didn't pay so much attention.
I approached them happily; after all, I can say I had a good time with Draco. On the other hand this seems so strange, he's suppose to be my worst enemy, and here I am, going all the way with him. But I'm not going to let this turn into a relationship; for more that the idea makes me very happy inside. We just can't. We hate each other, our friends hate us and they would never accept something like that. I keep imagining Ron's face if I tell him, probably he will turn red like a tomato in a second and run towards Malfoy and hit him in the stomach. Harry is more intriguing. He might trust my judgment or go crazy about it with Ron.
It doesn't matter now, It won't happen again. At least for now.
"Hey 'Mione…how are you?" - Ron asked shyly.
"Hm…I'm fine, thank you Ronald."
"Why is he acting so strange?" - I asked Harry covertly.
"I don't know. Maybe because someone disappeared for almost one hour and told us nothing to explain yet." - He raised his eyebrows waiting for an answer that never came.
We got in the carriage and didn't say a word; just faced each other sometimes. We finally arrived at Hogwarts. They were really pissed with me, but I did nothing wrong. Ok, maybe I have, but they don't know about it, and I won't tell them, not until my mind say otherwise.
Professor McGonagall came to us to say a few words:
"Hermione, I'm asking you nicely to get out of the carriage and follow me. You will meet your friends later for the dinner at the Great Hall."
I nodded and followed her to a secret room at Hogwarts. It looked a lot like the Room of Requirement. Inside, I spotted Snape, standing aside a blonde hair boy, who looked a lot like…Malfoy. Shit! They found out about what we did on the train. I knew it Harry and Ron were hiding something from me, and giving me strange looks, they probably already know everything! I was hopeless, and prayed to be something else they wanted to talk about.
"Please take a seat Miss Granger" - said Snape in a low tone.
I took my seat and stared at Malfoy. He looked at me and gave me a malicious smile. Once a git, always a silly, ferret, git.
"Now that we are all here, you may start Minerva." - Snape spoke again.
"As you all know, this year we had to choose two students to be Heads of the school. That includes a lot of responsibilities and tasks, such as patrolling, planning special events and the more important, sharing a dorm. BEFORE any of you protest, I must say we won't change our minds and you both will have your own dorms, the only thing you will share is a bathroom. And please, you are in 7th year, try to be civil with each other. I don't want to hear about fights and argues during your duties."
"That's all for now, you may go to the Great Hall and join your friends." - Snape finished and left with McGonagall.
That was unbelievable, of course! I read it all about Heads on Hogwarts: A History, how could I forget? I was for sure relieved, but it didn't last long. It came crashing down on me like a missile that now I had to share a room with no one else that Draco Malfoy, and he was sitting right next to me now, staring at me with those gorgeous gray eyes. I couldn't figure out his expression, but he gave me a smirk and started talking:
"Who was expecting this, right Granger? Me and you, together, sharing a room. I'm sure that will be very interesting." - He said while he bent down to my face and bit my ear lobe, making me shiver.
"Get off of me ferret. I don't want anything related to you and I will make sure to only talk to you about our duties. Believe me, I want to stay away from you as much as you want to stay away from me."
I had to put some big effort to say those words and stray my mind of the fact that Malfoy was almost pressing his whole body towards me.
"We both know that's not true Granger. And I can make you say the opposite"
I realized his breath on my ear was driving me crazy, and if I didn't get rid of him, it would be a lost battle. It wasn't simple, but I managed an excuse.
"Everybody is waiting us at the Great Hall Malfoy. We really should go…" - I said trying to not sound desperate.
For my surprise he got up, and offered me a hand to help me get up. I ignored his hand and got up by myself, heading towards the door, leaving him there, with a strange expression and always, a smirk.
I mentally reached a conclusion that he was crazy or under effect of Amortentia. No way in hell Draco Malfoy was attracted to Hermione Granger. It hurts to admit, but I am a book-worm. Fine, I changed, my body developed a little, and my hair was no longer that bushy; I found out a spell to get him just a little wavy. I couldn't wait anything good if the words Draco Malfoy, share, room, and Hermione Granger were in the same sentence. I hope someone could put some brains in that little ferret head, to make him less perverted. Ha-ha, who was I kidding? He wasn't going to change, not for a Mudblood like me, not for anyone else. He was a git, and I should forget about him right now and focus on my final year and my friends, that were possibly still mad at me.
The Great Hall was totally beautiful. Very colorful and full of tiny decorations that made everything looks like a big event. You could see the faces of the first year students; a little afraid I must say. I wish I could go there and comfort them, say there was nothing to worry about, but I couldn't, because it wasn't truth at all. We were living hard times, Voldemort was still out there, looking for Harry and trying to find a way to finish him off.
I took a seat next to Harry and Ron, seems like they were saving a spot for me.
"Guys…I'm sorry for…" - I was going to apologize, but McGonagall started her speech.
Nobody was paying much attention to her; they all knew what was going on, and what we should do to be safe under those circumstances. I felt my skin burning, and I took a look at the Slytherin table, in time to see Draco staring at me, with the same expression he was when I left him at the Room of Requirement. Seems like he wanted to say something that was stuck down his throat and he just couldn't let it out. I wanted to talk to him, deep down in my heart I cared about him, and I cared about his thoughts, especially if they were related to me. Of course I cared, I liked him. Stupid ferret, look what you are doing to me! I can't even think straight and pain attention to a simple speech without leaving a blank space dedicated to you and your…your…way of being a Malfoy.
When she finally finished, I could hear everyone sighing relieved. I was playing with my fork when Harry woke me up:
"So Hermione, what you wanted to say to us?" - He was paying attention to what I have said earlier. Damn you Harry.
I felt everyone's eyes on the Gryffindor table on me now. And I was embarrassed and blushing very hard. I decided to speak up at once.
"I am very sorry for what happened at the train ok? I-I haven't slept so much last night, because I was very anxious and I ended up sleeping at the bathroom there."
That was definitely the worst lie I have ever told someone, but gladly, they bought it. After all, who would doubt of the most responsible person in Hogwarts and recently Head Girl?
"Oh Hermione! You should have told us."- said Harry hugging me.
"So you were using that sleeping potion after all? - asked Ron curious.
"Can you please forget that stupid potion? And just for you to know Ronald, I didn't use that."
I got mad with him. He was so stupid sometimes, for god's sake! Grow up is not for everyone, I think. But he was still my friend.
I wasn't actually hungry so I was getting up and going to see my new dorm, when a little paper fell down right into my lap. I picked up and read the message:
Granger,
I don't know if McGonagall told you our password, probably she forgot.
Snape already told me and asked me to tell you, but I don't think I will, not that easily, if you know what I mean.
Meet me at our dorm's door whenever you want (I saw you were getting ready to leave, so I had to be fast with this stupid note)
Malfoy.
It was all that I needed now. If I know him (and I do), he was going to suggest something really stupid (like him) and I was going to refuse it, until I started to beg for the password or plan something really good to make up his mind. And I knew exactly what to do.
I went to the dorm's door, hoping to find him there, but he wasn't. That was strange, but thinking a little bit more, it was common to Malfoy being late. I remember that last year he came to the Charms' class full of pink lipstick, with his uniform all crumpled and followed by Pansy Parkinson. I never liked that girl, maybe I was just jealous, but something in that pug face of hers don't make me so happy. I kept remembering things that happened last year, and how I wish the time would go back so I could live all that again, and maybe making a few changes. I didn't notice when someone approached me from behind and wrapped his/her arms around my belly, I nearly jumped, and looked back to see Malfoy almost laughing at me.
"This is not funny Malfoy; you scared the hell out of me!" - I said while trying to get out of his embrace.
I could see the tears of joy forming in his eyes; he was so…happy and relaxed. Like nothing in the world could hurt him now.
"I'm sorry Granger, but you should see the look on your face"
He turned me around and forced my head into his chest. It was kind of a protective hug; strange, I agree. I could smell his perfume, it was good, and I couldn't decide what it was made from. He suddenly stopped laughing and realized what he was doing and who was the person next to him. I thought he was going to push me away with all his strength, but instead he pushed me carefully, long enough to look into my eyes, with that same damn expression. Seems like I was looking to a doll; a ferret face doll.
"Why everytime I look at you are with that same expression?"
I know how to ruin the romantic mood, I know that, don't worry.
"Because dear Granger, it is my way to say that I have no idea what you are doing to me since last year."
"And what does that mean exactly?" - I had to ask, to kill all my curiosity about that look.
"You are so silly Granger. You really think that I'm going to give you all the answers you want to know?" - He smiled.
Who said Malfoy wasn't capable of giving someone a genuine smile? And I faced an odd sensation running through my veins and my whole body. I smiled back at him, and locked my look in those amazing gray orbs. When I realized he was leaning down to kiss me it was too late, I wasn't able to do something to stop it; like I was going to stop something like that. Actually I craved for this since our little 'thing' back at the train. I missed those lips fitting perfectly against mine, and moving in a frenetic rhythm. It began slowly and naïve, but when he realized I was responding he pushed me against the wall and assaulted my mouth. With one of his hands making circles around my back and the other grabbing my neck to deepen the kiss more and more. He knew and I did too that I missed the taste of his tongue. In the fraction of second they made contact it was an explosion of different sensations. I didn't know what to do, I found myself lost in the kiss. He was moaning my name while kissed my jaw, my cheek, my ear lobe and my neck. I tried to keep my mouth shut, but it was impossible. I said his name so many times that I can't even remember, while one of my hands were locked at his blonde strands of hair, the other was trying to take off his robes and unbuttoning his shirt after.
"Well, well…someone here really missed me huh? - He said between kisses.
"Shut up, you are still a slimy ferret to me" - I made my best to sound serious.
"And Granger is back on the ring" - He laughed while started to unbutton my shirt very slowly.
We should stop, but we both know we couldn't. If we make one more step ahead there was no turning back and no regrets after. I was never against anything we did or was going to do. The thing on the train was great, it wasn't my first time actually, it was better. I started to push him lightly, to see if the boy realized what we were about to do, again. The problem is he was lost, also; I had to think of something, fast.
"Draco, we should stop" - I thought using his first name would hit him, and I was right, as always.
He stopped and looked at his hands, probably thinking what he was doing with a Mudblood like me. He never said a word, just later, when I put my shirt back on and started to help him.
"I can do this by myself Granger, thank you"
He was thanking me? That was a start for the little civil thing.
When both of us were fully dressed again, we looked at each other. I was blushing a little. He came to me and lifted my chin up, so that I was looking straight at him.
"I never regretted anything Hermione, I swear. I'm sorry for this" - he pointed to the way we looked - "I got carried away; that's the effect you have on me, just you."
He smiled one last time and gave me one last kiss, before I noticed he never told me the password; the real reason of this casual meeting.
"Wait! Malfoy! You never told me the password!" - I ran towards him and grabbed his wrist.
He looked down and intertwined our fingers, so that now we were holding hands, and smiled again.
"The password is Lionake, now let's go."
He pulled me through the door and I found myself in peace again, with him. Never in my life I was going to guess that he was going to make me happy like I am now. If I only knew that before…we could have jumped the part of worst enemies and went straight to the possibly love of my life.
Finished! At least for now guys. If you review and if one day I find myself with a huge desire to write more of this story, I promise I will! Hope you enjoyed like I did when I was writing. Feel free to send me some ideas to continue. Thank you :D
