Detention

A Dramione FanFiction

Chapter Four

Today was going a lot better. I walked down the steps that lead to the dungeons with Harry and Ron. I let their idle chatter about Quidditch wash over me as we entered the classroom. I was mildly distracted by Theodore, who stared with his gorgeous dark blue eyes. I felt myself blush as he smiled that dazzling smile at me. I lowered my head and sat down at my desk. I had always had a bit of a thing for Theo, I mean, what girl didn't? He was smart, funny and gorgeous. Sure, he was a Slytherin, but I would happily let that slide if I ever got a chance with him.

"Today, you will be working in pairs on a Draught of Peace. You have one hour." Snape said is his usual droning tone. I began to rummage through my bag for my book. I could see Harry and Ron having their usual squabble over who would be paired with me. It rather annoyed me that this behaviour only ever happened when the work seemed mildly difficult. I let out a sigh as I saw one of them stand in front of my desk. I suppose they had chosen. I lifted my eyes to find that instead of Harry or Ron, Theo was standing in front of me.

"Wanna partner?" He asked eagerly. I looked around behind me just to be sure he was talking to me. Oh my God, Theo was talking to me! Quick, answer back!

"Uh-huh." I nodded. Oh, nice one Hermione. Real smooth. He took my hand and led me to the cauldrons. Oh my God, Theo was holding my hand. Breathe Hermione, Breathe!

"Oi! 'Mione!" Ron called. I turned around rather embarrassed.

"What?" I hissed.

"Who you partnered with?"

I let go of Theo's hand (rather begrudgingly) and stomped towards Ron.

"I am partnered with Theo." I whispered hurriedly.

"But what about me?" asked Ron, putting on a slight pout.

"I don't care what you do!" I said exasperated. Ron's face dropped, as I turned to walk back to Theo. Heaven forbid he actually do some work in this class!

"Everything ok?" Asked Theo as I returned. His face was full of concern. I nodded.

"Mhm, he just wanted to borrow my book."

"That's lucky. I thought I might have lost my partner."

I couldn't help but let out a small giggle.

"Definitely not." I smiled.

The rest of the class went quite well. We produced a very successful draught and got top marks. I smiled to myself as we exited.

"Hermione?" Theo called. I whizzed round to face him.

"Yes?" I answered breathlessly.

"You know, I really would like to get to know you better. Perhaps we could have dinner on Saturday night?"

My eyes widened in surprise. I began to babble.

"Um, yes, sure, I mean – "

"Nothing formal, just two people getting to know each other." He said, his eyes smouldering.

"Uh huh. Sounds great." I managed to spurt out.

"Great. Will meet you out the front of your common room around seven thirty."

I nodded. That was all I would allow myself to do.

"Great. See ya then Granger." He smiled and placed a small lingering kiss on my cheek.

Holy Fuck.

When I arrived for detention that night Hermione was already there. Probably trying to score brownie points with McGonagall.

"Right, Mr Malfoy now that you're here we shall begin. Wand please?"

I held out my wand begrudgingly and McGonagall left the room. I took a seat up the front of the class, while Granger proceeded to take a seat at the very back.

"I don't bite you know." I called out to her, keeping my eyes facing forward.

"I know, but you do kiss." She replied dryly.

We sat in silence for a while. This had to be the dullest detention ever. I stood up and began to walk towards Granger.

"What are you doing Malfoy?" She asked.

"I'm bored." I stated, "Let's do something."

"Like what?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

Hermione rolled her eyes and focused her attention back onto the desk in front of her. You know, Theo was right. She had grown into her looks. She was turning into quite the stunner.

God, I needed to get laid. Perhaps Pansy would be more hospitable tonight… I scoffed to myself. That was highly unlikely. She had decided I was a waste of her time ever since I told her that I don't love her, but was quite happy to continue shagging.

I looked back down at Granger.

"What are you staring at?" She questioned quite haughtily.

"You know Granger; you'd be quite attractive if you put a little more effort into your appearance."

Hermione looked up at my face with shock.

"I'm sorry, I must have misheard, what did you just say?"

"Don't make me repeat it Granger." I replied lazily.

She blinked a few and then raised her eyebrows.

"You know, that is the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Are you sure you're feeling ok?" She asked.

"Oh ha ha." I replied sarcastically, "You know, I can be nice."

Hermione scoffed.

"Sure, when you want something."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"You know me too well."

We fell silent for a second.

"So… the question is Malfoy, what do you want?"

I looked at her questioningly.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, you just agreed that you are only nice when you want something, so I figured than since you have been nice, you must want something."

Oh dear Lord, the things that ran through my mind. I shook myself. I have to stop thinking like that.

"I don't think there's anything that you could give me that I would want."

"Fair enough then." She replied, standing up to stretch. She placed her arms behind her back, stretching out her chest. I couldn't help but stare. I am a red-blooded male after all. Hermione stifled a snigger.

"What are you laughing at Granger?"

"Nothing." She said innocently, "Although, I think I've just figured out what you want."

I glared at her.

"Whatever Granger. You keep thinking that." I retorted, returning to my seat at the front. I could here her following me.

"No, no, it makes sense now. Why you're constantly mean to me, why you kissed me, why – "

I cut her off.

"Dream on." I sneered. She placed herself on McGonagall's desk, crossing her legs, her kilt sliding up to reveal her long tanned legs.

"I was only joking Malfoy." She replied, leaning back on her hands. God, her figure looked great.

Silence filled the room again.

"I wonder what McGonagall keeps in her drawers." I thought aloud.

"Probably her lady bits." Hermione replied in a lazy drawl. I looked up at her, not understanding. Ah! It dawned on me!

"You're a lot naughtier than you let on."

Hermione shrugged.

"Adds some mystery I guess."

"I bet you're real kinky in bed." I added, trying to get a rise out of her.

"Wouldn't you just love to find out."

At that moment, McGonagall entered, signalling the end of our session. She returned our wands and allowed us to leave.

As Hermione and I turned to go our separate ways, Hermione leant in real close to my ear.

"See you late Draco." She whispered in a husky voice. I felt a shiver run down my spine. My member rising to the occasion. I could feel my jaw drop. She gave me a wink and left, laughing all the way.

Perhaps I wasn't giving her enough credit.
