Promise: Hungry Eyes

Chapter Seven

Rated MA

Pairing Draco & Hermione

Hermione POV

I moaned when Draco pushed me against the stone wall, claiming my mouth with his in a demanding, possesive kiss. The hard contact I made though with the hard stone wall made me break out of the haze that desire consumed me in. Knowing we had to talk, I grudgingly pushed Draco's hard chest, making him take a few steps back. With his smoldering gray eyes now trained on me though, I could already feel my body begin to tighten and coil with desire and want. But I knew we needed to talk and we had so little time because of detention. Sometimes I really hate Professor Snape.

Taking deep breaths, I felt as my body began to lose the tenseness and relax. Draco was still tense though. His hands were in tight fists againsts his sides. His body was shaking with some inner fury that I was still puzzled by and his eyes were such a stormy color. An interesting mix of his conflicting emotions that I know was raging inside him. Cautiously, I walked towards him. I spoke to him as gently as I could with my own anger still present in my mind.

"Draco, we need to talk and we don't have much time. Why are you upset?"

I frowned when he glared at me. What is his problem? He spoke tightly, his face contorting with anger.

"I'm not upset Hermione. I'm furius. Why did you let Longbottom touch? Why did he ask you out?"

Now I am glaring at him. I could already feel my magic seeping out of my pores and dancing agitively in the air. His was doing the same.

"Well what about Virginia? You were letting her all over you! She was practically gropping you in the Great Hall! And how would I know why Neville asked me out? You didn't even give me a chance to answer him!"

Draco walked the few steps inbetween us menacingly, making me have to back up against the wall again. How is it that he always makes me pressed up against some kind of wall?

"Virginia is always like that around me and in case you didn't notice, I told her to get away from me when I was whispering to her! Is that why you let that fool touch you! Because you were jelous of Virginia?"

"I felt my cheeks flush red. Now that I think about it, I was jelous. Seeing Virginia touch Draco made me so jelous, wishing it was me touching him instead of her. But still. That didn't make it right when he butted into Neville's and mine conversation. Moving towards him a bit, until we were flush against each other, I began to speak. His gray eyes flashing angrily.

"Maybe I was jelous of Virginia. But I didn't make Neville ask me out. And what's with you saying that I let him touch me? I don't understand."

Draco ground out his reply as he looked down at me.

"You let that sniveling fool touch your hair."

I snorted. "Really? Draco, all he did was push my hair behind my ear so it wasn't in my face."

He growled and grabbed my hips tightly in his hands. I winced a little at his hard grip.

"Still." He said angrily. "He touched what wasn't his. You are MINE. You are MY girlfriend. NOT his."

I froze at his words as everything started to fall into place. A small smile made its way on my face as I looked into his eyes, despite myself trying to not smile. I know it'll just agravate him more. I looped my arms around his neck as I began to speak calmly and gently.

"I think I understand now. You are jelous of Neville. That's why you butted into his and mine conversation. You were mad that he touched my hair and asked me out." I hesitated as I asked him a question. "Draco, were you worried and jelous that I may had accepted Neville on his offer? And that I may have stopped what was happening between you and I, if I had began to love Neville?"

He hissed his answer as he pulled me flush against him.

"Yes."

Smiling, I pulled out of his arms. I giggle though when I heard him growl when I pulled away. Our magic was no longer sizzling in the air and I was happy that we were able to talk out the situation. I glanced at his handsome face and was shocked to see a bit of fear in his eyes. Was he scared that I was going to reject him?

He tensed up, ready for another fight I guess, when I hugged him. I whispered to him, my voice slightly muffled since I was speaking against his chest.

"There is no reason to fear Draco. And never try to hide it from me. I don't like Neville romantically. He is like a brother to me." I grimaced at the thought of kissing Neville. "That would be really gross. If you hadn't interrupted me, you would have heard me tell him no." I smiled shyly up at him as I pulled away. I've never felt like this with anyone before. I liked the warm feeling though.

"So, I am your girlfriend now?"

I was relieved when the fear and anger vanished from his face, as a smirk began to grace his face.

"yes, if you would wish it..."

I grinned happily.

"Yes, I would like that.." I glared though when I finished with the rest I wanted to say. "I won't tolerate other girls though Draco. I won't stand for it. You have quite a history of being a playboy. I am willing though to give us a shot despite that. I will expect you to be faithful to me. I will not tolerate you being with other girls. Your previous girlfriends may have but I won't. In return, I will be faithful to you."

I gasped when he suddenly leaned down and gave me a single, gentle kiss before pulling away. He smiled.

"Of course Hermione. I will be faithful to you. I expect that you will be as well." He smirked as he gently trailed his fingers along my jawline and my throat. "Malfoys are natorious of being possesive of their females, I warn you. We will not be gentle if our women are caught in another mans embrace."

I grinned. I find what he says suprisingly as a very sexy trait. As long as he doesn't go overboard. I giggled softly as I pulled away and gently placed my hand in his.

"We better get moving. I imagine we are already late to detention. But one more thing. I want us to slow down with our physical relationship. You may be used to fast paced, but I'm not."

I sighed with relief when he nodded.

"I understand. We can go as slow as you want, as long as you are comfortable." He smirked. "Malfoys can be very understanding and courteous at times."

I laughed and smiled as we walked out the door and down towards the dungeons. I couldn't get rid of this feeling though that someone was watching us. It didn't feel very friendly either...

Virginia POV

I seethed when I saw Draco and that mudblood walk out of the Great Hall together. I was still puzzling over what bitch could have stolen my precious Draco from me. There weren't many girls that would dare oppose me and try it though. Then a though flitted through my ind. I froze in horror, no longer interested in the feast. Draco wouldn't do that though... Would he? Suspicious, I quickly got up and made my way down the corridor. I saw the mudblood and Draco turn into. I stopped at a door I heard loud voices in. I leaned into the door. I saw red at what I heard. That damn mudblood!

The mudblood girl was the one Draco was seeing. I growled angrily, cursing under my breath. How dare that scum that calls herself a witch seduce Draco! MY Draco! He's MINE! My stomach knotted nastily when I heard them talking about being boyfriend and girlfriend. I quickly moved away from the door when I heard them start towards the door and hid behind a statue. I glared angrily when I saw them holding hands as they started to walk away. When they finally turned around a corner, I walked out from behind the statue and headed back to the Great Hall. Along the way, I started to formulate my plan to reclaim Draco as mine. That slut will wish she never set her eyes on him!
