Chapter 4 – Draco's Temptation

DPOV

I had ensured that the gift I had sent Hermione would be delivered during dinner. We all were required to eat together then and it would cause a stir that there was owl post then, since it generally only came in the morning. I had bided my time despite Hermione's continuous attempts to break me by wearing her skimpiest clothes. I often wanted to relieve myself of the pressure that would grow inside of me each time I saw her. She had stopped wearing the heels which helped somewhat but the clothes she wore still made me gape at her each time she passed me by.

The night finally came when her books were due to be delivered. I had ordered them wrapped in plain discreet brown paper. I had ordered her the brand new books (which had yet to be published) detailing the events of the war. She had heard they were being written as she had been interviewed for some but she didn't know when they were going to be released. I sat at the long staff table and saw the owl fly down to Hermione's seat, nearly landing in her shepherd's pie. He delivered his package and immediately flew off. She lifted the package up with a confused look on her face, glancing around the table, seeing if anyone had their eyes on her telling her that they had given the gift. Since the owl was such a rare occurrence, nearly everyone had their eyes on her. She unwrapped the package and let out a gasp.

"Oh my!"

Minerva looked down the table and saw Hermione with her jaw dropped open and said "what is it dear?"

"Someone has sent me the books detailing the events of the war!"

Madame Pince leaned down the table and said to Hermione "those aren't even out yet, I've written to get a copy for the library, but they aren't being released until right before the Christmas season."

Minerva leaned back while saying "well, Miss Granger, it seems as though someone has their eye on you."

Hermione seemed to sigh to herself as she read the backs of the books with eager eyes. She didn't crack them open and read them though. She looked up at me finally and sent me a desperate glare. If I didn't know her better, I would have thought it was because she had eyes for me. However, I knew this was the look of a woman denied what she wanted most…books. I smiled ruefully at her and winked. Her jaw dropped as she realized that I had sent the books just to torture her. Her mouth closed and she had a fierce look in her eyes. I swallowed thickly and wondered what the brilliant mind of hers was planning.

I couldn't believe the nerve of Draco. I mean I realized that he wouldn't just let my torture of him go. I had seen his nearly constant state of erection in the past week and figured he would get me for it somehow. I just didn't expect it to be so difficult to resist his temptation. Ever since I had been interviewed for this book, I had been dying to get my hands on it. I, like Madame Pince had written to find out when it would be available but I hadn't received word back. I couldn't believe that Draco had the connections to get one now and that he sent them to me. The books would be constantly teasing me if I left them out, but I wanted to at least see them if I wasn't going to get to read them.

Draco would pay for this one; I had to plan something that was sure to get him to break. The sooner he broke, the sooner I could read these books. I had to think of something that would send him into overdrive. Too bad I couldn't just sleep next to him wearing nothing, as disgusting as Draco was, I noticed he had been checking me out recently and I could just imagine what that would do to him. Oh. I had an idea. How about I threw a party right before school started? I could call it one last chance and have everyone wear lingerie. It would drive Draco crazy but I could run it by McGonagall before hand and ensure that attendance would be required. I laid down in my bed to go to sleep tonight and I saw the moonlight glint off the gilded covers of the books. I thought to myself It's only a matter of time…

AN: Next chapter is the party! Let me know if you think Draco will break when he sees Hermione in lingerie! Hope you're liking the daily updates!
