A/N I know that it has been a while I'm sorry BUT this chapter is a lengthy one ENJOY!
When Hermione woke up the next morning she was in a trance. She needed to check on Draco to make sure he was okay, and she couldn't get this horrid feeling out of her mind that if she would have just stayed away from him none of this would have happened. Even though Ron was gone for now she didn't know if she could get over the guilt of the explosion that happened the night prior. She got up and stretched, dressed and snuck out to go to visit him.
She poked her head in just in case he was asleep. "Well I didn't think I would see you this early Granger." He looked to be back to his regular self. He patted the bed for her to seat with him. He knew that she was going to be there early and knew what she was going to say.
"You look better. How are you feeling?"
"Well this is the second time I have been hit with that spell, but I know that was the first time it was meant to kill. There is something I wanted to tell you; this is not your fault and I do not regret what we've done. I can only hope that you feel the same." He turned and seen a small tear zig zagging down her cheek. "Don't cry princess I want this and I am willing to work for it."
Hermione didn't know why she was feeling this. They weren't even going out and here she was crying over something that they didn't have. Last night he had mentioned that he wanted to try this and now he just reconfirmed it. "I don't know. As much as I want this I just…" she didn't know what she could say. Before she could finish her thought, though, his warm arms came around her. She leaned into him smelling his sweet scent: fresh and crisp with notes of lavender, menthe, iris and musk.
"For once, Granger, stop thinking and just got with your feelings. This is new for me too. We both deserve a shot at happiness and if this is it then please don't ruin it for both of us."
Draco said this more sincerely than she had ever heard him. She could see his point though; why were they supposed to give up happiness when everyone around them was starting to rebuild their lives. "Maybe your right maybe we should try, I mean really try, and see where this ends up." She gave him a small smile and leaned her head into the nook of his neck.
"So does that mean that we are going out than? Have I captured the heart of the Gryffindor Princess?" He was smirking down at her; it was nice to have him playing with her instead of sneering at her all the time.
"Well if you have then am I lying with the snakes with the Slytherin Prince. What oh what are your friends going to think of you now?" She went to stand up but his arms wouldn't let her go.
"I could care less to what they have to say; now don't you think that we should celebrate our coming together?" A sly smile crept up on his face. His mouth was on hers and she didn't even attempt to push him away. Draco explored her mouth with his tongue. Never did he imagine that he and Hermione would be together. To soon though Hermione pulled back and sighed into his shoulder.
"Do you think we can take things slow? I know that you have…uh experience in this area but I really don't." Hermione never thought this would be so embarrassing. She shifted her eyes down to the silken deep green comforter.
"I think taking things slow would be a good idea."
He was smiling which made her feel better but she had to ask another question before the pixies in her stomach would stop flying around. "Do you think we can keep this between just you and me for a while? I mean just so we can see where this is going you know."
This is what he was afraid of. Why would she not want to be open about them, but if this is what it took for her to be comfortable with him then he would take it. "We can do that… for a while" Was all he said.
Hermione was a little worried about the look in his eyes. They looked troubled somehow. She felt ashamed of what she had just asked him like she was hiding him, but she couldn't face telling everyone that they had gotten together after the "Ron situation" and thought if she gave it sometime things would get back to normal.
With kiss good bye Hermione went back to the room to write a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley telling them how sorry she was. She didn't want them to blame her for everything but she didn't want them to blame Ron. She knew that things would be dicey for a while but she needed to them to know things like this happen and with love and compassion they could get better. She thought about breakfast but just couldn't stomach eating. She found her way to the library and started to study for on upcoming exam that she knew she would blow through.
"Hello Hermione. So how was last night after you rushed off; did you and Drake have it out again? If he hurt you then I can talk to him for you." Teddy was leaning casually against a shelf looking at her with an easy smile across his face.
"I can handle him thank you for asking. I wanted to talk to you though. I'm sorry about last night, and how I rushed off like that. I let things get out of hand though and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression about me. I don't usually behave in such a manner. I can't see you though, I'm sorry." She wanted to let him know upfront what her feelings were on the matter.
Teddy walked over and plopped in the chair next to her. "I owe you an apology too Granger I didn't mean to push you. I, like you, don't usually act in such ways. I'm sorry. Now that we have the unpleasant out of the way I think that we should move past it. What is there left for you to study? I thought you finished the whole book!" he laughed.
It was so easy to be around Teddy she was finding. He was genuine and nice. He didn't act like the other Slytherin and she thought they could truly become friends. "Very funny as it happens I have but we have an exam and I want to be ready. Shouldn't you be studying or something?"
"Well that is what I came in here for. You were sitting alone and I thought I would see how things were after last night. Besides I think that we both seem to know what is going to be on the test don't you. I know I said that I was sorry about last night but I am attracted to you. Do you think it would be too much if I asked you out this week? I mean now that Weasley is gone I mean." He was so sweet and confident but there was something about him now that didn't seem right she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Um I don't think I can do that I'm sorry I just I'm kinda… it's complicated right now I'm sorry." She started to gather her books and put them in her bag.
She turned to leave but he was standing right in front of her. "I didn't mean for you to leave on my account. I'm sorry I didn't realize that you didn't feel something between us." He however pulled her closer to him encircling his arms around her small waist.
She was shaking like a leaf. "I should go I'm sorry I don't feel… I have to go." She tried to pull away but he held her tighter.
"I think you should stay a little while longer. I want to talk to you." He was looking deep into her eyes. He started to inch forward slowly.
"Nott I thought she said she wanted to go. It would be very wise of you to let her go now." Draco growled the last word.
Teddy let his arms fall from her and she hurried away to HIM. He watched as his best friend put his hand on the small of her back and whispered something in her ear. She retreated and the two of them were left alone.
"I told you last night she is mine you will not touch her again. Why can't you get it through your head?" Draco was livid. Didn't he tell him last night that Hermione was his and he was going to make sure that nobody tried to come between them?
"I told you I wasn't going to back down last night too, Drake. How was your night anyways? I heard that you were in a spot of trouble mate." Teddy's perfect face slid down some to a mincing glare. "I didn't think that Granger had it in her to go with you last night, not after we were together all night."
"So you are the one who sent the Weasel King after us then." This was why Teddy was put in Slytherin: he was smart, conniving, and charming. He was a true snake in the grass; he could strike at any minute or wait for months to get you back. He was one to be forever cautious with. This is why Draco and he made such good friends, they were the same.
"Well I thought if I got you two out of the way then I would have my chance. I was proven wrong I guess she showed a little more compassion than I thought she had. As I told you last night I will not give up. One misstep and I will there to catch our little beauty Drake." He strode out of the room.
Draco went back to his common room and knocked on Hermione's door. "It's me can I come in?" He waited for her to open the door. Well she just walked in this morning so he would do the same. "What are you doing?" She sat there gazing out the window leaving that as her only response. "There is something that I wanted to talk to you about."
"Look I didn't do anything with him okay. I understand if you don't believe me but I swear I didn't. Teddy is being persistent and I am not sure how to deter him. Look if you want to forget about this morning's conversation I will respect your wishes." She stopped right there because her voice started to shake. After being with Ron she was unbelievably vulnerable. She never thought she would be so weak, but she knew in time the strength would come.
"Granger what are you talking about? I told you that I wanted this to work and you're throwing in the towel because of someone who can't take a clue? I thought we were in this together? I believe you I was there. I went to find you to see if you would take lunch with me and I heard what he was saying and you. I want to warn you about him. There is a reason that he was put in Slytherin and I am not going to tell you to stay away from him but I want you to tread lightly with him." Draco stayed a ways away from her though he wanted to hold her again. "Really what are you thinking Princess? I can see the wheels in there spinning out of control."
She smiled and got up. "I'm surprised that you are so calm about this. I thought you would be rather angry with me. I didn't think you would understand. Ron never… I'm sorry"
"Never compare me to the loathsome Weasel. Now I know Teddy I've grown up with him since we got our first brooms. Now what are we going to do the rest of the day?" He was now smiling.
They stayed in her room all day until they had to go to the Great Hall for dinner. Ginny had done a wonder job excepting Draco into their little circle for dinner. The conversation flow easily enough. After dessert the five of them, Hermione, Draco, Harry, Ginny, and Neville, walked back to their common room.
"Draco, why are you slumming it tonight? I thought were going to have a private little party of our own tonight." Pansy's face still had a hint of red to it and Ginny couldn't help but smirk at her, while Draco didn't even acknowledge her. Neville decided to call it a night and Ginny had plans of her own for her and Harry. With a brief 'Good Night' Hermione slipped into her room.
"Draco didn't you hear me? I thought we were going to have some fun. I missed you I haven't seen you all day." Pansy was pulling him toward her room.
"Get the hell off me. I told you we are through you filthy whore. I'm nothing to you; remember your words not mine." Trying to get her off of him he started toward his room.
"Baby you know I didn't mean it. You know I love you and when we leave this god awful place we will be married and will put all of this behind us." Pansy looked up at him like she was going to kiss him. He pushed her away roughly and went to his room spelling his door shut so she couldn't get in.
That week and few that followed Draco didn't leave Hermione alone too much. Having the same classes it was easy for them to walk together. On the request of Hermione they didn't eat together very often. When they were in the library alone one Friday night Draco turned to her. "When are we going to let everyone know that we are a couple? It's been nearly two months I don't think that we are going to jinx ourselves now." He saw shock cross through her eyes.
"Do you think it's been long enough I mean it has only been 6 weeks?" She looked like she was calculating.
"Hermione are you that ashamed of me that you don't want to be seen together? I mean we barely touch in public. Why is it so bad that I want to walk down the hall holding your hand or kiss you good night? I thought you were a Gryffindor where is your courage?" Though he had a lightness to his voice she knew that he was serious.
"Okay then, we can go and tell Harry and Ginny they are the only ones I care to know." She grabbed her stuff without looking at him. Truth be told she was scared to death right now. She led them up to their common room and knock on Harry's door.
"Hey 'Mione what's up?" Lately Harry seemed so carefree and relaxed. He was wise beyond his years, but this year was to be all his.
"Is Ginny here I wanted to talk to you both. I have something important to say." When Harry gave a small nod Hermione and Draco walked into the small room and sat down in two chairs. She seen Ginny on the bed but couldn't smile.
With a clearing of her throat she had everyone looking at her waiting for her to say something. "Well I just wanted to let you know that Draco and I have been seeing each other for a while now. I didn't tell you right away because I wanted to make sure this is what we wanted." She looked between them and was a little flustered that a grin was starting to spread over Harry's face. "What this isn't a joke Harry I'm serious."
Harry couldn't help the laugh that escaped through his lips. "We kinda guess that much already. I mean you two were always fighting and now he is walking around all over with you and you study together instead alone Oh and you try to sneak meals together. Besides as long as he makes you happy we will be alright with it. We have always respected your decisions even if we don't show it all the time."
"Well it's about time! I told Harry ages ago that this was going to happen. I'm happy for you." Ginny gave her a hug "We have so much to talk about later though." She added in a low whisper.
Draco couldn't wait to get her alone now that she was his for everyone to see. "Potter, She-Weasel thanks." Draco was one that never said thanks or please and for some reason when he was around her she brought out the best in him. Weird.
Grabbing her hand Draco pulled her out of the room and went straight across to his. Shutting the door behind them he pulled her into him smiling. "You're now mine for everyone to see."
Hermione chuckled into his mouth. She brought her arms up around his neck. Other then snogging they hadn't gone too far in physical department. "Draco I was wondering do you think… well do you think that… you can teach me how to you know… well since I haven't done anything." She pulled away a little to look at him.
"When can we start, now?" He knew that he sounded like a little boy about to get his first broom, but he didn't care he had wanting this for what seemed like years and if he was honest with himself it very well had been.
"Well I was thinking maybe tonight. I want to try things with you." She blushed a brilliant red. She wanted to try so many things most what she had heard about or read about. "If you wanted to that is…"
Draco leaned in to give her a sweet but short kiss. "I think that is a great idea." He lowered his lips down on her neck licking slightly. His mouth traveled to her collar bone while his hand came up to cup her perky left breast. "God you feel so good." Going even lower he bit her rosy bud through her shirt. He smiled when he heard her gasp.
"Draco gods above that feels good." She was running her hand through his hair and pulling him in deeper. She didn't want him to stop. He started to remove her white button down shirt and revealed a white lace bra. Slowly lifting it Draco's mouth latched on and was met with them both moaning. Hermione felt like she was on fire. Sucking harder he pulled her tighter to him. He could feel the throbbing in his groin. If he didn't stop them he didn't know if he could stop. This was so unexpected that he didn't have time to prepare himself.
When Draco finally pulled away they were both panting. "I think that we should stop. I don't want to teach you everything I know in one night." He smirked and help right her clothes. "I have a question before you rush away from me tonight. What are we going to do Christmas? I was thinking we could spend some time alone. I know you have to go to the Weasley and your parents and I need to spend time with my mother but I just want to be with you too."
Hermione had been thinking about this for a while and thought that she had come up with something that they both could do. "Well what if we got together on the night after Christmas. We could get a room again." She smiled thinking about how this was going to be very different from last time.
"Okay. Well than I guess I only need to know what you want."
She looked confused, "what are you talking about?"
He smirked only Hermione wouldn't think of getting something from him on Christmas. Every girl he had ever been with looked to sink her claws into him for his fortune that he was to get, but not her. "Your Christmas gift of course." He waited for her to react and she didn't disappoint.
"I don't expect you to get me anything. I mean really we have only been together for a short while and I mean we are just barely going to come out publicly…" she was turning red; why on earth would he feel the need to get her something.
"Well I am going to get you something it's whether you like it or not. Not that I don't have something already picked out. Besides it is nothing big." That was true it was a small gift: a star sapphire necklace that had a slight golden curve about the stone. It was spell to always allow him to find her no matter the distance as long as she wore it. He wanted to get her something that she wanted as well however.
"Well I think what you have now is going to be lovely but honestly Draco I think you should take it back to where ever you got it I really don't need anything." She had however gotten him something. She sent off for a box of their favorite truffles and gotten him a brown rope-like material that had the crest of a dragon upon it. It was said to hold some sort of special power that he and a mate could only feel. Though Hermione thought this interesting she thought the shop keeper just wanted to make a quick sale before heading out. There couldn't be any hold on Draco because he was a pure blood and therefore didn't have a mate. Besides he had given her so much already and she didn't feel right letting him give her something when she had clearly not given him anything in return.
"Well then it's settled I will buy you something that you don't like and I will let you lie to me about your liking it." He pretended to be hurt but after all the time that Hermione and he had been 'trying' to spend together she knew his mannerisms better than that.
"Oh fine I could use a new parchment I am running low." She knew that it was ridiculous to ask for something of such, but she didn't want to ask for anything!
"Granger, tell me that you didn't just ask for parchment for a gift! I knew that you were into you studies but really." He laughed. How in the world could she think that he would oblige that? Well they apparently weren't going to get anywhere so he would drop it for tonight.
The next morning Draco -though Hermione had put up on heck of a fight- tried to pulled a wary Hermione into the Great Hall hand-in-hand. "Hermione please just stop. It's not like we haven't been together anyways. Look I thought that you were the Gryffindor here and I have to drag you in?" with a hard chuckle he started to pull the door open. They were already late coming and they had double Ancient Runes lunch and then Astronomy that night.
"Look maybe we should just skip breakfast I mean we could just go to class early or something." After seeing the look on his face she changed gears. "I am a Gryffindor so don't you think of calling me a coward Draco Malfoy."
He looked at her before rolling his eyes. "If that were true, then, this would have been done weeks ago. Let's just go to class." He almost felt guilty goading her like that but it had to be done. She squared her shoulders and marched straight through the Great Hall and to their table. As soon as people seen their hands entwined the gossip ran rapid through the place!
"Did you see Malfoy with his paws all over…" and "Why is he tainting even his hand to touch that mudblood if you ask me…" Even at their table people were talking in loud whispers. For a strange reason this only made Hermione want to stick by her new boyfriend. They had just fought a bloody war over this and yet people couldn't let go of all of their per justice they had.
She did something she would have never thought possible: she pulled Draco into her hard and kissed him. There were a few cat calls and whistles but that didn't stop her. Pulling back Draco's eyes were sparkling with excitement and happiness. "Well well I didn't think that you had it in you, Princess."
"Oh shut it. I only did it to shut everyone up." She grabbed a piece of toast and tea then picked at it. After a few minutes she gave up trying to eat and sat there until it was time for class.
Draco could tell that she was thinking but he looked at Potter who gave him a quick shake and didn't say anything. When he was done he grabbed his and Hermione's bag and firmly grabbed her hand and walked to class. The week went by with much of the same reaction slowly dying down due to the news about a 5th year Ravenclaw and a 7th year Slytherin found in the Potions stock room snogging.
Slowly the excitement of winter break was spreading through the halls and Hagrid had already put up all twelve of the Christmas trees. All in all the festive moods were setting in.
"So I heard a little birdy was going to having a small party tomorrow night. I think it's going to be a blast what do you say 'Mione?" Ginny was her usual want to party self. She wanted to have a last drunken night before heading back home to spend time with her family.
"I don't see how I can get out of it I know that you want me to go." Hermione laughed a little. "I guess you're going to have to help me getting ready then."
Ginny squealed she loved playing dress up with Hermione. Being the only girl she always felt the need to make someone up. "Meet me in Gryffindor Tower tomorrow noon." Ginny made to leave. She had planning to do for Hermione and herself, well she was pretty much done. She had been planning this party for a while and bought a dress already.
When finishing her essay for transfiguration she heard someone knocking on her door. "Come in."
Draco step though wearing a beautiful smile. "Well what do we have here? I thought you would have finished that by now. Maybe I should leave you alone can't have you falling behind in your studies now can we."
"I've just finished so you can stop being so smug now." She stretched, after classes she had changed into some of her comfy muggle sweats and a tank top. She had moved her bag and all of her books to her desk and was now laying in the in the middle of her bed.
Draco took the opportunity and climbed onto her bed with her. "We leave tomorrow I don't know how I am going to stay away from you even if it is only for a few days you have cast a spell on me I think." He smiled down at her.
Cupping her cheek he bent his lips down to hers. With a sigh of satisfaction he deepened the kiss. He shifted his body to where he was on top of her. Pulling her shirt off, he kissed his way down to her right bud. He sucked harder and she was whimpering as she watched him. She found herself being drawn to watching him work on her body. He almost worshiped it. He was delicate but strong at the same time. He grabbed her hand and brought it up to her left breast. "I want you to roll your nipple in your finger tips like this." He showed her on the one that he was giving so much attention. "And cup it too." Again he showed her what he meant. She nodded and started to do as he instructed. He took her in his mouth again and started to use his teeth pulling just a little. Hermione could feel his hard length rubbing against her wet center. Draco had been taking it a little further each time they got together. She was a little reluctant at first but with as much as he reassured her she didn't stay that way long.
There was a knock on the door and Hermione jumped up. "Hold on!" So this is what Ginny felt like when they were interrupted! Throwing on her shirt without a bra she swung the door open.
"Sorry if I interrupted something but I had a question on my homework and I thought you would be able to help me Hermione." Teddy stood there with gleaming eyes. He knew what he interrupted and was glad that in her haste Hermione didn't grab her bra.
"Nott this is getting old I think you should leave." Draco came up behind Hermione and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "We're busy right now." Leering at his once friend. Draco didn't know what came over him but he needed to get his scent on her. Something that she would never know was what he was deep down inside, but Theodore Nott not only knew what he was but shared the same trait.
Hermione felt something overcome her body it was something more primal than anything else. It was pure need for the man that was holding her. She twisted around and ate at his mouth. Digging her finger nails into the back of his neck she let out a loud moan. Her nipples were hard and very visible through her thin white shirt. To some degree she heard the growling going on behind her. She should have been worried yet all she could think about was making Draco hers.
Draco kept his eyes on Teddy the whole time daring him to try to interfere with him declaring her his. Though Teddy was disciplined he couldn't help but feel rage watching Draco Malfoy run his lips on what he thought was his and let out a growl. Draco in return let out his own mincing growl to warn Teddy not to even attempt it. Pulling back his magical aura from her a little and she seemed a little stunned at herself.
"Oh my… I'm sorry I didn't mean… I don't know what has gotten into me. I'm sorry Teddy do you think I can help tomorrow morning; I only have until noon though." She was trying to ignore the burn in her cheeks.
Teddy could barely control the anger in his voice. He knew exactly what happened to her but he refused to believe it. "You know what Granger I think that I can figure it out myself." And just like that he stormed away.
"Draco I didn't mean to do that in front of him. I know that he is your friend and he has feeling for me. I would never come between the two of you like that." Hermione wanted to run from the room, but it was her room and she knew that Draco wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. "It's fine he is stepping on my toes. He needs to realize that you are mine and I don't plan on giving you up to him. I didn't know that you were so frisky though Ms. Granger. Do you think that we can pick up where you left off." Before she could answer he picked her up and she instantly wrapped her legs around him. He carried her to the bed with a need. He shouldn't have tested himself like that, but if he didn't have to prove himself to Nott then he would keep coming after her, and she was HIS: he felt almost like Weasley now, almost. He was already tearing her shirt off and latching on to her. Moving his fingers down her unbuttoned her pants. He wanted to stop before he frightened her, but his body needed her right now and she didn't seem scared yet. "Princess I need to stop. I can't…" His breathing was haggard but he needed to get a hold of himself or he would ruin everything.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to push you." She was breathing just as hard as he was; though even as she said the words she brought him closer to her.
Draco still had some of his magical aura from her. Though she was completely free to do as she pleased he was increasing her sexually charged energies. He pulsed it one more time, stronger then before and she moved toward him again.
"Draco I need you, please." She pulled him down on her. She undid his shirt and slipped it over his shoulders. He was warm and soft yet very well built.
Draco pulled her pants down to see her in a pair of white lace panties what match her long ago discarded bra. He could see her soaking them already. Trying his hardest not to rip them he slid them down her beautifully shaped legs and crawled in between her thighs. "You smell wonderful Princess. I have to taste you." Seeing her nod was enough consent for him. He spread her lips apart and ran his tongue up and down before sucking on her small nub.
Hermione had never felt anything so good. A moan erupted from her and she felt her back arch. "Oh Draco don't stop!"
He sucked and licked up and down her. He dipped his tongue into her messaging her cannel. Draco could tell that she was getting close and couldn't wait for the hot liquid to run down his throat so he started tonguing her again. She gasped and moaned until he brought her with his mouth. Drinking her up he felt a satisfaction that he was the first to ever make her have an orgasm, but when he looked up she still have lust in her eyes.
She glued their mouths together before getting on top of him and stroking his long cock. Draco shuttered under her touch but didn't stop her. "Teach me how to please you Draco." She didn't ask and he knew that there was no stopping what they were doing.
"French the tip and work your way down." He had many blow jobs but this was different. He moaned when her mouth closed around him. "God your mouth is like now other. Don't stop."
Hermione worked her way down listening to more instructions. She cupped his balls as she took him deep into her mouth. She was find that she did quite like what she was doing.
"Hermione I'm going to cum you don't need to swallow. Pull back some." Draco locked eyes with her but he knew that she wasn't going to do any such thing. His head fell back with a moan ripping out of his throat and his seed filled her mouth and Hermione took every ounce before softly sucking off the end gently. "Princess that was amazing you didn't need to do that." He couldn't believe that her mouth felt so perfect on him. Though this was not his first time having a girl pleasure him, somehow, this felt different. He pulled her up to him and kissed her neck. "Why don't I stay here tonight?" he asked while still nuzzling her neck.
Hermione was shocked. She had never thought someone like Draco Malfoy would ever let anyone share a bed but here he did not want to let her go. "Are you sure? I mean you don't normally let your… others stay with you, right?"
"No, but you're different Hermione. I can't explain it; you have pulled me." He looked into her eyes and smiled. He knew what was happening but he would not act on those instincts again like he did tonight. "I think I should stay."
Hermione leaned into him; why did this seem so significant? She couldn't put her finger on it, but she would let it go for now. Christmas was fast approaching and she would be sharing something with him that no other would have. "Okay stay. Good night."
"Good night Hermione. Sleep well." He kissed her soft lips, pulled her closer and fell asleep. He could get use to this.
Hermione woke in the arms of Draco the next morning, or at least she hoped it was. The Black Out shades were drawn so she didn't know what time it was. When she went to get up his strong arms tightened around her. Well how am I going to get out of this? She thought. She pulled again but had no luck.
"Are you trying to sneak out on me again? I thought that we were past that stage." Bloody hell what time was it, and why was she up so early? "I think you should sleep some more."
"Don't be lazy I need a shower and then breakfast I think." She laughed at him when he grunted and threw a pillow over his face.
"I could go for a shower too. Yours or mine?" When he seen her turn red it was his turn to laugh. "I'm kidding. I guess I do need to get ready too. I still have to pack. Were we going to the party tonight?" Draco, though it was an internal battle, got up and let the blank fall off of his perfectly sculpted torso.
"About that, I am going to meet Ginny at noon and we are going to get ready. She is going to make me her own personal doll for the day. I will have to meet you here. Oh and would you like me to book the same room? I can owl them today to the room is ready for us."
"Actually I would like to book it this time. We can meet at the station then I will take you for a surprise. I will see you tonight." He gave her a kiss on the cheek and they parted ways.
"Ginny! We have been at this since noon I think you have done all that you can with me I know that you have a 'vision' that you want me to look like but it's 7:30 and we only had an hour off for lunch! I think you have done everything that you can with me. When are you going to get ready we only have about an hour or so left?" Hermione's bum was starting to get numb after sitting all day. She did like what Ginny had done but really it was ridiculous for anyone to spend this much time on getting themselves, or in her case someone else, ready.
Ginny studied her. "Okay I think I could get ready now, but I still think if I raise your hair… okay okay I'm getting ready. Get dressed so I can see if I have to make any adjustments."
Hermione sighed but got up just the same; Ginny had chosen a deep red tube top dress with a bow cutting the dress in half and the bottom went to about mid thigh for her. She liked it enough and it really wasn't shorter than the costume had been. She wore a matching pair of 3.5 inch peep toe pumps.
Ginny had a fun dress that was slightly shorter then Hermione's. It was a baby doll blue that had a bow just beneath her breast. A few light pink flowers flowed down from the top to the skirt of the dress almost like a shooting star. Her shoes were blue silk with pink daisy's and a whooping 4.5 inches tall.
"Oh 'Mione you look beautiful! Malfoy is not going to be able to keep his hands off of you goodness!" Hermione had told her everything and got her advice. Mainly she said they were young and should have a good time she deserved it! "It's nearly time let's go and have a blast!" She pulled Hermione in tow and started walking out. They received a few cat calls when walking throw the Gryffindor tower and corridors.
"Are you sure about this Gin I mean I think I might be over dressed. Maybe we should just were our normal clothes." Hermione, though she did like how she looked, felt over dressed and a bit self conscious.
Hermione had been saying this off and on all day so Ginny ignored it and pushed the portrait open. The common room was decked out like a dance floor. They had placed spells around to make it look like the night sky and different colors of shooting stars were flying through the sky. The moon was full so the room still had the look of a bright night. All of the furniture was gone and in place of it were plush looking love seats and half chairs that were meant to be shared. They had the normal party foods and loads of drinks; anything for pumpkin juice to fire whisky and elf made mead.
Arms came around Ginny's torso and a chuckle erupted from her. "You look lovely, Ginny. When did you buy this little number?" Harry kissed her neck and Hermione felt that this was a privet affair and kindly excused herself.
"You look beautiful Hermione." Hermione knew his voice and when she turned around a very dashing Teddy Nott was standing next to her.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself. So, where is your date?" Hermione didn't want this to be awkward but she couldn't help but feel the need to be close to Draco.
"Well the only women I would want to be here with is taking and I don't think her boy friend will be giving her up anytime soon. So I am just going to wait in the wings as they say and see what happens." For all that is Salazar Slytherin he wanted to take her right now. If he could just put a wedge between her and Drake then he knew she would come to him. He didn't want to have an altercation this early in the party. "Well I think I will let you get back to this party I have something to attend to." He leaned in to kiss her cheek.
Hermione kept telling herself that this was just a friendly thing to do but she still felt a little uncomfortable. She looked around for Draco but had yet to see him yet.
"You look lost Princess. I've missed you I think that you look stunning tonight." Draco pulled her into a deep kiss. He didn't care that people were watching he only cared that she was his and he wanted her. "Dance with me."
They took the dance floor which was flooded with people already. All of the seniors were there as well as most of the 7th years. Show Me Your Cauldron came on and Draco glued his hips to Hermione. Hermione could feel his growing manhood and didn't know what came over her but she push into it. Draco ran his hands down her hips and up her thighs. He followed this pattern a few times before nibbling on her neck. Hermione felt hot and felt like every eye in the place was on the two of them.
They danced like this before Ginny came up to them. "'Mione it's mine turn with the ferret. There is something that I want to talk to him about." She slide between them and when Hermione was out of ear range and dancing with Harry with an amused expression on her face she rounded on Draco. "So what do you want with her I mean really want because I don't want my friend getting hurt. I can tell by the look in her eyes that she is in deep."
Draco was a little shocked at how straight forward she was but had to respect that she was looking out for her friend. "You don't have to trust me, but I care and respect Hermione. I use to think I hated her but then I realized it was what you all stood for that I hated. I don't think that way anymore. I really want to try with her; I want this to work." He could tell that she believed him and relaxed a little.
"If you screw up Hermione won't give you another chance and I will not stand be if she is hurt. Just treat her good and we will be just fine." Ginny was all business but now that she gave her warning she was all smiles.
Draco for the life of him would never understand how a girls mind worked. One minute they were happy the next evil and plotting and in the same breath crying! He would never understand or pretend too that was for sure. The song came to a close. He looked for Hermione but figured she went to the loo, so he went to grab a drink for them.
"Finally come around and leave your little mudblood then baby?" Pansy was standing there with a tight little black dress with a low v-neck that she couldn't even wear a bra with, and a silver line that wrapped around the front and silver zipper in the back. Her shoes were so high that she was nearly eye level with him.
"Get lost Parkinson I want nothing to do with you and I will be damned if you taint my night." He went to move away. "I said back off!" Draco looked dangerous.
"You may be about to pull that with others here Drake, but you will never scare me. We were to be married which means that I know everything about you and that includes what you want sexually…" Pansy was about to run her fingers in his hair when she heard her from behind.
"Which means you know that he cannot stand the likes of a bint like you. Come on Draco I think we should go somewhere a little more privet." Hermione pulled him into a frisky kiss before dragging him off to her room.
Teddy walked up to Pansy, "Well it looks like we should work together again Pans. What do you say partners?"
"So you want the mudblood too huh?" when he didn't answer she went on, "well I think that would work out. As soon as we get back from holiday I will be taking back what is mine." She stormed off to find Rallahof Millden, a seventh year Ravenclaw, to better her night.
"So what are we going to do then?" Draco inched closer.
Hermione smiled, "Well I have a few things in mind." She put both hands on his collar and pulled him down to her. She brushed her lips on his and brought he lips to his necks. She sucked harder then she had before leaving behind a purple mark. "Well I think it is that's all, good night Mr. Malfoy." She giggled and started to turn away when he caught her from behind.
"I don't think so Princess. My turn." He bent his head and kissed her neck slowly turning her around. Dragging his tongue down to her chest he pulled down her dress releasing her breast. Taking her nipple in his mouth she moaned. Moving back to her neck he sucked and bit hard enough to make her gasp before he smoothed it over with soft kisses. She had a matching purple blotch on her neck. "Now I think we are done. Mmmm purple suites you Princess. You know this is our last night together for a few nights what are you going to do without me?" he mocked in faux concern.
"Well I guess I will have to have someone else warm my bed." She laughed. When she heard him growl again she died. "I was kidding! What are you going to do with all your spear time?"
"Well I was really thinking that I would try to catch up to you, but I don't think I can read all of the books AND learn all the spells. I wouldn't mind staying tonight though if you want company." The answer was on her face and he knew he wasn't going anywhere.
"Fine but you better not hog the blankets let me go change." She normally wore skimpy nothings for comfort. She grabbed a long nighty and changed. When she got back to her room she found her boyfriend in nothing but his boxers.
"Come on Princess you can't stare at me all night we have a long day tomorrow." He smirked
"Git" she climbed into bed and snuggled up to him "Good night Draco." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she woke up she heard the light snore and smirked. She was going to have to record him for proof.
She got up showered and dressed in a long sleeve sweater and jeans. She was going to apparate to the Burrow with Harry and Ginny from Hogsmead instead of taking the train. It would give them more time to be with their loved ones and they wouldn't be stuck on a train all day.
"Draco you need to get up it's almost time to go."
He stretched and threw the blankets off. He was going to be away from her for days and didn't know how he would be able to handle it. He needed to speak to his mother about this, if it was normal or if this only happened with ones mate and if so how do you not tell them… "I'm up I'm up I need to get dressed meet you in twenty for breakfast before we get the carriage?"
They met up and had a quick breakfast before rushing to catch the carriage before it left them. When they settled in then relaxed. "I'm going to miss you but I hope you have a good time with your mom she is going to need you more now than any. "
"She is stronger than you think but I will be there just the same. Hermione stay safe. I know that he is going to be there and as much and I want you to come with me I know that you have your own life, but promise me please be safe."He looked in her eyes with a pained expression.
"I will promise." She kissed him until they arrived.
"Come on Hermione let's go!" Ginny called she was excited about seeing her family as much as she complained about them she would trade them for anything in the world.
Letting out a sigh he pulled away from her. "Princess before you leave know that I do love you."
Her breath hitched did he just say that he loved her? They had only been together for a short time, but she had felt something drawing her into him for a while. She had never felt this way for anyone even Ron, someone that she pined after for over a year before having him. "I love you to Draco." She kissed him one last time before rushing off to take Harry's hand and apparating away.
As Draco turned on the spot to go home his heart wanted to burst open with happiness.
AN: another chapter done! I am working on the next chapter already so here is a sneak peek!
~~Pansy walked over to her ex lover not caring that he was still dating the mudblood, and straddled him. Before he could push her off she had wrapped her arms around him neck and was kissing him. "I knew that you missed me too. You will never be able to stay away from me for long."
"Well I know that I will be able too." Hermione walked in to Draco's room and felt cold. Her voice was so low and monotone that it even frightened her. At the sound of her Pansy uncharacteristically jumped up. "Well I won't ruin any more of your night." She made to walk out.~~
