Fly away with me

Chapter 7

Draco slipped his broom on his back with a heavy sigh, his eyes moving over to his bed, were he had shagged Granger with his 'monster' he was starting to like calling it by that name. However even if he liked the new nickname, it didn't mean he was happy about his deal with Granger. Sure the shag was hot after a long ass bit of uncomfortable moments. He had to tell himself that even though he had gotten so close to her, it didn't mean they had a 'thing' together, it was a deal he backed her into, to keep his ass out of the fire.

With that in mind he made his way out into the command room not knowing Potter and Weasely had snuck in using two invisible cloaks Potter had managed to buy over the summer, for this very kind of reason, what better way to spy and find out what's going on with the dark lord then to be unseen. However Draco's new 'gifts' made him know something wasn't quite right, but without his masters help he didn't quit knew how to use it. Sure he could run faster, jump higher, and had more muscle in a punch. That was easy to just do, but he had no control really and unless his master was asking him to hunt his hearing would not be looking for heartbeats or low breathing sounds.

Granger came down the steps in blue jeans, a dark red sweater, sneaker and a hooded cloak. Their eyes met for only a moment, before hers landed on the end of his broom. Draco smirked knowing just how scared she was of flying. "We'll do our rounds quick and then meet up on the field" She did a kind of slow nod never looking away from his broom. "Right then" He gave his own quick nod before heading out the door. It was easy enough to make his rounds, but he had this feeling someone was following him the whole time. He shock it off as simple un-needed worry, before heading out to meet Granger in the field.

Once there he waited for Granger to show up, she took a little bit longer then he would have liked, but she did finally show up. Tense as ever of course as he removed his broom form his back. "You know it will go better if you relax" He said watching her make an angry face at him. "I'm surprised none of your friends helped you with this"

"They have…" Hermione grumbled as she looked away from him "I know it is all about relaxing, but as soon as I get up there I become panicky and crash" She looked back at him for a second "Harry once tried to help by riding with me and we ended up in a tree due to my epic fail in the whole relaxing department….I don't think you're going to have much better luck" She had tried to think of a better way for them to go about this, but Draco was right, walking through the dark frosted for a few hours to pop to the bar, was a bad plan.

"I see, and what did they do to help you relax?" Draco's voice drawled her out as it always did. He could tell by the look on her face, no one had helped her relax "Let me guess, they just kept saying nice things and just relax as if that would help" Again the look she gave him said it all, there two invisible by standers felt a bit guilty at his words. "Well, I don't wish to make a habit of this Granger, but I do have away to make you relax. One that doesn't involve spells, potions, or even much effort for that matter. I just don't care to do it…However it looks as though I got little choice in the matter. All you have to do is once you're on the broom close your eyes and listen to my voice, can you do that?"

Hermione had to wonder if he could do it "I can do that much" She said wondering just what he planned to do. Draco waved his wand as an old sounding melody filled the air around them. She was trying to place the familiar tone, when Draco started to sing the song to her. He voice was lovely, but she could help the smile, and light giggle that left her lips as he song.

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

If you can use some exotic booze

There's a bar in far Bombay

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

His plan to make her relax was already working, moving to her. Draco helped her on to the broom. It was much easier they it had ever been for anyone else, because her mind was not on flying. It was on the fact someone she could never imagine singing to her was.

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru

In llama land there's a one-man band

And he'll toot his flute for you

Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Hermione hardly even noticed Malfoy getting on with her, as she closed her eyes listening to the sound of his voice.

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified

We'll just glide, starry-eyed

Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near

You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Draco was making sure she was on just right; he had good hold on his broom and her before lightly kicking off. She was still laughing. Which was good, that meant there was less chase of her going panicky on him.

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day

You just say the words and we'll beat the birds

Hermione didn't notice they were moving higher and higher. All she did notice was, Draco Malfoy singing to her. It was a woot! Her two unseen friends almost didn't follow them because they too thought it was funny, yet kind of felt stupid for never thinking of making her laugh while on the broom!

Down to Ac apulco Bay

It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

It was working wonders as he moved them slowly over the tree tops. Thanking 'Red' for singing that song so often, Draco had learned it by heart. It turned out to be the right thing to get Granger to relax and enjoy a ride.

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified

We'll just glide, starry-eyed

Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near

You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Hermione was still laughing as she felt the cool air on her face. She was wondering if they were off the ground yet, and kind of sad. Malfoy's song was almost over.

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day

You just say the words and we'll beat the birds

Down to Acapulco Bay

It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly

Pack up, let's fly away!

As the song ended Draco had managed to get them high enough, that even if she did panic they would not have a problem. "Open your eyes" He said to her as he flew over the woods the twinkling lights of Hogwarts on one side of them and the town off to the other. One would have to say it was breath taking, if they were not enemies it would have been the best date of their lives.

Hermione opened her eyes, not knowing her two friends were not too far away. "OH WOW!" She breathed as she took in the large moon above them, all the stars and lights around them and still felt very relaxed in his arms. "I had no idea it was so beautiful up here" She exclaimed just enjoying the ride. She got why Malfoy loved to fly and she herself was beginning to love it. She just wondered if she could do it without hearing Malfoy sing to her.

Draco smirked pleased in knowing he had managed to do something neither Potter nor Weasely could do. He got Granger to fly, and he also got her to beg him to fuck her harder, both of which made his ego grow a bit bigger. "Now you know, but I am not singing to you ever again. If you want to fly you'll have to find your own way of relaxing first" He could hear soft laughter from the girl in his arms, making him all the more pleased.

"Aw, I was hoping you would" She joked back at him as he leaned forward, before then she hadn't noticed how close he was to her. But now as his hard chest pressed ageist her back, she felt a slight blush come to her cheeks. It was going to be hard to say good bye to the man she was finely getting to know. To know how he could make you smile, yet he didn't seem to be enjoying himself. How he could get her to relax like no one else could and just how good it felt when he was close to her like he was right then. He was still a git, but he was a git she was beginning to like.

They didn't talk much after her little joke, not until he told her they were landing and it would be best if she closed her eyes just to remain claim. She seemed to be humming 'Come fly away with me' to herself as away to remain relaxed. Draco couldn't help but wonder if she'd do that for the rest of her life. Once on the ground he helped her get down before getting off the broom to place it on his back once more. "We'll need to walk into town from here; after all it is a muggle town"

Harry and Ron had been close behind the whole time nether one liking how content Malfoy and Hermione were together. Both of them were worried sick about her, about just what Malfoy could have done to her. What this secret of his was, how dangerous was it, was she in danger? Even though their good friend looked like she was having the time of her life in that bastard's arms. Even now as he was telling her they had to walk, she still looked dreamy eyed!

"Malfoy, were did you learn that song?" She asked coming to his side, wishing to fill him close to her like that once more. She wasn't not about to say she was falling in love with him, but she couldn't deny how good it felt to be in his arms. "I mean it is a muggle song, from a long time ago and you knew it word for word. Like you've sung it a million times"

"Remember 'Red' the vampire singer form the bar?" Draco asked her, getting a 'How the hell could I forget that guy' which brought a light smile to Draco's face "It's one of his favored songs; he sings it almost every night. If you had stayed longer that night, you would have heard him sing it" He shrugged his shoulders at that "I can't say it is one I would sing every day, but it did seem a bit fitting for your broom ride tonight"

"I've got to admit, I didn't think anyone could find away to make me relax as I got on a damn broom." She started to giggle "But when I heard that song coming from you of all people I couldn't not relax! I mean you've got a lovely singing voice and the song was very fitting, but it just being you was enough" She hoped that didn't insult him "I guess I could never picture you singing anything."

"I do sing a lot and in front of people" He said making her look at him with an 'oh ya?' kind of face "I rather enjoy it; play a few instruments as well. I just choose not to do it at school or around people I know"

"Why not?" Hermione asked, not understanding how someone with such a good voice. Who enjoyed music, sing for others and such would not want to share it with his friends and classmates.

"To be quit frank Granger, I don't think anyone I know would appreciate it as much as I do." Draco said softly as they got to town, he bit his lip "We're not going in the bar; I'm going to have someone meet us out here. Wait here for me, I'll be right back" He then made his way over to the bar asking to have Peter sent out to him. He'd return seconds later looking deep into the woods. 'Why do I feel like someone is there?'

Hermione reach out to him touching his arm "Something wrong?" Draco turned taking hold of her hand as if it was the most normal thing.

"I feel like we are being watched, which is either in my head or someone has been following me around the school and now too here as well" He let her hand go making it look as though he was just removing it from him.

"You think someone is on to you?" She said before moving closer to him "There is no way anyone could know. I haven't told a soul, and I know you didn't so how could anyone know what's going on" She noticed him smile at her reaching out to run his hands over her shoulders.

"I guess you're right, I'm just uneasy with the fact if anyone knew how close we've gotten or what happened to me, it would end very badly for both of us" he looked down into her face their eyes locking for a moment. Both of them felt a sudden need to be closer, to maybe kiss each other. It was almost like watching a slow-motion picture as they moved toward one another, closing their eyes. Not once thinking about how wrong it would be and then…

"I hope you dragged me out here for a reason Draco" Peter Newkirk voice made them jump back from one another before they could lose themselves in a very wrong kiss. After all they were not in love, they were enemies and that was that!

"I'm sorry to bug you Peter, but I've got a little problem only a vampire can help me with" Draco answered quickly moving away from Hermione. Who looked disappointed with the fact they had not kissed and he had moved away from her so quickly. 'I am falling in love with him; I can't lie to myself about it anymore' she thought as her eyes turned to the man who she could never have 'I better find a way out of this soon before I am in love or with his child while he is off being a death eater'
