HPFC Pairing Diversity Boot Camp

Pairing 3 – Hermione / Draco

Prompt – Nerves

Relationship –

Hermione walked into the cupboard, nerve's fluttering in her stomach. She had known that playing spin the bottle with the other seventh years wasn't a good idea. And surely the room of requirement could have provided a bigger cupboard.

Draco Malfoy followed her into the small space and the door closed on them. "So, what should we do for seven minutes Granger?"

"Count the seconds and hope they pass quickly," Hermione replied, only half joking. Whilst Hermione and her friends were now amiable with the Slytherins, she didn't feel comfortable, being so up close and personal with the blonde.

"Bugger off Granger. You need to learn to loosen up a bit. This is our last party before Graduation. Newts are over and we don't need to worry about results yet."

"Who doesn't? If we haven't passed our newts then we can't get the jobs we want, and then our lives will be over before they have even – mph," Hermione was cut off by a pair of soft lips pressing to her own. After the few seconds of shock passed she melted into the kiss as Draco wrapped his arm around her waist and she ran her hands through his hair. They broke apart after about a minute.

"There that killed a minute, at least," Draco grinned and Hermione chuckled.

"I guess we have five minutes left," She murmured smiling shyly.

"Then we might as well do a little more of this then, huh," Draco said, lowering his head to hers.

Five years later

Harry James Potter watched proudly from his spot as best man as Hermione walked down the aisle. She looked radiant in a dress of ivory. Draco Malfoy stood beside him, watching his bride walk towards him.

Who would have thought this could all have started with a game of spin the bottle?
