A/N: Okay guys this might annoy you... might not but there is a stupid thing going on with this edit on fanfiction and on my word processor. When I want a scene to change I usually make a few more spaces than usual and I make a little design (aka ) Well it won't do that! So there is just a big gap there and that annoys me so much and I'm so sorry. I feel like those little designs are taking away fromthe story lol. Just wait like 10 seconds when you get there and read on lol! Maybe that'll help
It was 4:00 AM when Draco's eyes had opened to the new day... a bit earlier than usual. His night had been restless as he thought of Hermione and what had been going on for the past few weeks... especially last night. He had never felt that way before, and the way he had acted was not known to come from him. He had on and off dreams about her and woke up almost every hour. Draco finally gave up and lay in bed until it was the right time to get ready.
What was he doing? What was wrong with him? Was this some kind of joke that was being played on him? Would it ever end? The last person he thought he would fall for would be Hermione Granger. It was as if the whole magical world was flipped upside down for him. What would his parents say if they knew he like kissing a dirty mudblood? What would his Slytherin friends say if they ever found out? Ginny Weasley already knew... would she tell everyone how he felt about her?
Draco knew Hermione would be wanting answers soon. They could not keep up with this sherade... kissing her one minute and the completely ignoring her the next. It hurt her... and he couldn't bear hurting her anymore. Seeing her tears was the last thing he wanted to do.
But what was going on? Even he didn't know... and he wanted someone to answer them for him. Why did he love the feeling of having Hermione by his side when he woke up. He loved it even more than other times when he woke up next to Pansy. It was peaceful.
Draco looked to the right of him... it was an empty space. He grew restless that whole night and it became very hot. The blanket was on the floor since he had been struggling with it all night. Even though he only wore his boxers to bed... he was still burning hot. He even opened up the doors in the middle of the night. He was tired... but he couldn't sleep. This was probably the worst sleep he had ever gotten since O.W.L.s.
Draco decided that just laying their in his own frustration would not help. He got up and replaced the blanket onto his bed. Draco slowly walked over to his mirror and took a good look at himself. It was apparent that he had not gotten any sleep... his hair was a mess because he had pulled at it from frustration of not being able to sleep. His lean chest looked paler than usual... the glow (if that was possible) that he usually adorned had vanished.
He headed for the bathroom but stopped as he looked to Hermione's door.
::I wonder if she's up...:: Draco thought
He quietly opened her door and walked in to find her still asleep.
::Lucky Granger... atleast she could sleep::
Draco walked towards Hermione's bed and touched her shoulder.
::Should I wake her up?::
Hermione looked like she was in a deep slumber... cozy and warm. He wanted to be in her arms. He decided to wake her up.
"Granger...?"
"Wait... five more minutes, I promise..."
Draco laughed at the remark. She was like a little girl getting ready for school on a Monday.
"Granger I can't sleep."
Hermione's eyes opened. She looked up at Draco.
"Well... close your eyes and count sheep.. I don't know just don't wake me up again."
Hermione snuggled back into her covers. Draco pushed her to the other end of the bed and climbed in.
"What... do you think you are doing? You can't always be in my bed Malfoy." Hermione said with annoyance apparent in her face.
"Shutup and go back to sleep..."
Hermione propped her head up on the pillow.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I told you, I can't sleep."
"Well what makes you think you'll be able to sleep in my bed?"
"I don't know... What do you want me to leave?" Draco said as he pulled the covers off of him.
"No... I was just wondering." Hermione lay back down. She looked at him with sleepy eyes. Draco switched sides and lay on his stomach and stared back at Hermione. They did this for a good five minutes. Hermione saw that he had lost a lot of sleep that night when she looked at his grey eyes... they looked heavy and had lost the evil sparkle that he had. Her eyes trailed down to his chest. There was a half naked boy in her bed... a bit unnerving. Draco broke the silence...
"Wearing my jumper?"
Hermione looked down and blushed...
"I was cold..."
Draco smirked.
"You can keep it... it looks good on you."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Do you like Potter?"
"What?.... What kind of a question is that? No I don't like Harry."
"I mean he's showering you in gifts and telling you he loves you. Do you even like him?"
"I just can't exactly see him that way. It's too hard... I always looked at him like he was my big brother. It confuses me."
"Didn't Weasle like you as well?"
"It's Ron Weasley, and only for a little while... we went on a date last year but decided that it wouldn't work out."
"Well he missed out..."
"What?"
"Nothing.... What about that Finnegan character."
"Well, I'm supposed to go on another date with him ... "
Unease dripped from Hermione's voice.
"Lucky you right? All these boys drooling over you... head over heels in love with you."
Hermione looked to Draco with a quizzical look...
"Do you like me?" she said quietly into the sleeve of his jumper.
Draco looked down to where Hermione's hand was. It was placed on top of the pillow... small and delicate. The question then hit him. What was he to say?
"We should try and sleep... we won't be able to stay away in Binns' class..."
Hermione broke her gaze away from Draco and looked towards the doors that led to the hall. She really wished she hadn't asked... Draco could see she was a bit dissapointed. He took Hermione's arm and pulled her closer to him. Hermione lay her head on his chest. This was the second time they were in this position... yes the universe had flipped over...
Draco's mind began to wander as he absentmindedly tugged at Hermione's curls and ran his hand along her back. He curled the hair around his finger and let his hand wander through the shroud of curls. Her hair smelled of sweet vanilla and her cheek that lay on his chest was warm.
The feel of his hand moving back and forth softly on her back set Hermione back into her deep slumber. He had that same, sweet, exotic smell as the jumper she wore. Her hand lay on his stomach and she curled up her legs to snuggle closer.
By now it was 4:30 and Draco had finally fallen asleep. The alarmed blared 6:00 and he slowly opened his eyes, his hand was still in her hair. He disentangled himself from her and Hermione opened her eyes and sat up.
It was nice having her wake up beside him. He was always warm when she woke up beside him. She looked cute when she woke up. Half awake and looking around... trying to stay awake as she sat there. Draco put his hands behind his head and kept looking at her. He watched her as she tried to wake up... she was not a morning person. He then watched as she looked to the door... then look at him. Hurriedly she jumped out of bed and headed for the door. Draco realized what she was doing and did the same and ran for the door at the same time... but it was too late. Hermione claimed the bathroom.
"Dammit..."
"You lose..."
Draco looked at her silly smile as she slipped in. He walked back into his room.
"Ron please pass the toast..."
"And then he swooped down on me and tried to push the Quaffle into the hoops... but I did this GREAT MOVE that I think I should call the Weasle... because I'm telling you, it was weaslish..." Ron told Seamus.
"Ron are you listening to me?" Hermione prodded again.
"What 'Mione? I'm telling a story..."
"Like we haven't heard it before Ron... please pass the toast before I starve..."
Ron grabbed two pieces of toast and placed it on her plate. Harry turned to Hermione.
"Umm... Hermione?"
"Yes Harry?"
"I need you're potion's book for tonight... is that okay?"
"Ofcourse Harry... you can drop by anytime. I'll be coming in late though so the password is Ab Imo Pectore. I have to tutor"
"Alright... I'll come by before curfew. Thanks so much, I lost mine"
"You and Ron... I swear what would you do without me?"
"I don't know Hermione... I don't know" Harry looked up to Hermione and smiled. Hermione blushed and looked down at her plate. The subtle things he was doing in front of everyone... it so really uncomfortable. Hermione decided that she was finished with her breakfast.
"I'll see you guys in class..."
After a long day of classes, Hermione pronounced herself exhausted... unable to work any more. She knew, however, that she would have to tutor again after dinner though. This was something she was not looking forward to... being alone with Blaise Zabini. Hopefully Professor Snape would be there. It was much more easier having him around (very unusual). Zabini wouldn't be able to pull anything.
Hermione neared the dungeon door and looked inside. Blaise was sitting with his legs up on the table cleaning under his nails. Snape was no where to be seen.
::What am I going to do?::
An idea sprung up in Hermione's mind. The only person who could deal with him would be Malfoy. Maybe if she got him in here too to help... then it would be okay. Hermione pushed the door open.
"I'll be right back, wait here..."
"Where are you going?" Blaise replied as he turned his head around.
"No where... I'll be back. Hold on."
Hermione left her bag by the door and headed for her common room, hoping Draco would be there. She whispered the password and stepped in. Draco was sitting on his desk doing his homework.
"Malfoy I need to ask you a favor..."
Draco stopped writing but his eyes did not leave the paper.
"Yes...?"
"Well, I have to tutor Zabini tonight and I was wondering if you could do it for me..?"
Draco looked up. She stood in the middle of the room, wringing her hands together.
"Why now? You've tutored him before haven't you?"
"Yes but, that was because Snape was there. Will you do it?"
::Maybe I should be more polite?:: Hermione pondered
::No he is never polite to me...:: she decided
Draco looked down at his paper. He was almost done with it and could have easily accompanied Hermione to the dungeons.
"I'm busy... I have work to do."
Hermione's jaw dropped.
"What?"
"I have work to do. Can you leave now so I can atleast get some finished?"
"You'll always be a jerk Malfoy."
"Don't expect me to be your bitch Granger... just because we kiss..."
"Well then don't expect anything after this you prat..."
Draco lifted his gaze away from the quills that he had been staring at during the conversation and watched Hermione stomp off out of the portrait hole. He heaved a sigh and decided that he should go after he quickly finished the paper he was writing. Why had he refused anyway?
Hermione banged the dungeon door open and walked in swiftly. She grabbed a cauldron and a few supplies.
"Let's get this over with Zabini I don't have all night."
She put the cauldron down onto the desk and and began to get things ready for the session. Zabini stood up and advanced near Hermione. Hermione could see him walking in closer. She felt uncomfortable.
"We should start with today's lesson... did you understand it?"
"You know that little self defense lesson you gave me...?"
"You deserved it!" Hermione said as she returned a cold stare.
"Now why would I deserve something like that?"
"Because you're a disgusting 17 year old pervert that's why." she said as she looked him in the eye. She was not in the mood to take anything right now.
Blaise grabbed Hermione's arm and yanked it so that she was facing him.
"Will you stop hurting me like that?"
Blaise grabbed Hermione by both of her arms with his hands. He clenched his hands as tightly as he could. Hermione pushed away against his chest... trying to set herself free. This was going too far.
"Let me GO!"
Blaise pushed Hermione to the other side of the room and slammed her against the wall. She hit her head hard and she began to see stars ahead of her... everything became fuzzy and she couldn't see anymore. She felt Blaise's lips pierce against hers. Everything went blank... she couldn't hear or see anymore.... she fell to the floor...
Draco put down his quill and rolled up the parchment that was due tomorrow. He decided to go down to the dungeons to see how Hermione was doing. His refusal had been a bit harsh even though she was being rude. The girl had been running through his mind all day and he was getting fed up with it.
Draco approached the dungeon door and put his ear up to it. They were arguing. Suddenly, he heard the sound of pain come from an all too familiar voice. Something hit the wall.
Draco walked into the Potion's room. Blaise had Hermione against the wall. He was kissing her. Draco saw an unconscious Hermione fall to the floor, blood trickling down her forehead. Draco ran over and grabbed the back of Blaise's robe. He knelt next to Hermione and lifted her head. Draco took off his robes and bunched them together and placed them beneath Hermione's head.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Draco yelled.
"She's a filthy Mudblood! Why would you even care? What has gotten into you?"
Draco punched Blaise in the nose as hard as he could. Blaise touched the bloody nose gently and looked down at his finger.
"Bastard..."
"No Zabini, I don't take advantage of girls when they are unconscious..."
"What the hell happened to the Malfoy I knew? What are you doing here standing up for this mudblood. What... do you actually like her?"
Draco looked down at Hermione. The blood contrasted with her pale face drastically.
"No I don't like her... but even Mudbloods don't deserve this..."
"You really have changed haven't you. One year ago you'd be doing the same thing I was."
"Why did you have to attack her?"
"Because she's filthy and anything else that might happen to her wouldn't make a difference to her filth. She's annoying and a stupid little know-it- all. And I'm sure you haven't noticed, but she's sex just waiting to happen. I've always wanted to ruin her pretty little reputation..." Blaise said. He smirked. Draco advanced on him and punched him in the stomach. Blaise doubled over and Draco pushed him down.
Draco turned to Hermione and picked her up into his arms. He led her towards the common room.
Hermione felt something cold upon her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes. The bright light coming from the fireplace stung at her eyes. They began to water.
"Oww.."
"Keep your eyes closed."
"Malfoy?" her eyes began to focus and she could make out a pair of cold grey eyes looking down at her.
"Yes."
"Where am I? What happened with Zabini?"
"You're okay now, in the common room... away from him."
Hermione lifted her hand and touched her forehead. She felt Draco's hand and a cold, wet cloth. Her temples were pounding... like she had an extremely bad headache. Hermione reached for his other arm and pulled herself up.
"I thought you wouldn't come down."
"Well I did, didn't I?"
Draco scoffed.
"You really know how to get yourself in these situations really well don't you?"
"Well I don't exactly mean it!.... Oh I forgot my bag down there."
Hermione lifted the quilt that lay upon her legs and walked towards the portrait hole. Halfway there she swayed and her vision became fuzzy. Her head started to float and she couldn't see anything anymore... she felt herself fall but a pair of strong hands caught her.
"You need to lie down."
"My books...."
"Later..."
Hermione opened her eyes. Her head was still floating. She lay her head on his chest as they stood there... trying to cool her head. She brought in a sigh. Draco held her by her back and waist. Her hair tickled his nose. He looked down at her as she closed her eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't go down before... I could have prevented this."
"S'ok" Hermione mumbled. She was very comfortable.
Draco lifted her chin so that she was looking at him. He lowered his head and gently kissed her on the lips. Hermione lifted her arms around his neck. All feeling was coming back to her body as he trailed his hands up her back. He opened his mouth and she responded. Her headache was finally gone...
As they stood there and kissed each other intently, the portrait hole opened... and Harry walked in...
"Hermione..?"
The familiar voice shot through Hermione's brain. Her eyes sprang open and she pulled away from Draco's embrace.
"H...Harry?"
"What are you doing with him???" Shock and hurt apparent on his face
Draco looked to the floor... angry that Harry had walked in on such a wonderful moment.
"I ... it's not what it looks like."
"I am pretty sure that it is what it looks like..."
"Harry I can explain." She walked over to Harry and held his arm. Heat rose in her face. What would she say to him? Harry had just caught them kissing each other.
"You don't need to explain. I saw everything Hermione." Harry said as fire blazed in his green eyes.
"Harry no... please"
Draco couldn't take the pain Hermione had to go through anymore. He stepped in.
"I kissed her Potter... that's what happened. She didn't want me to but I wanted to.. I wanted to see what she kissed like..."
Hermione looked to Draco. Her jaw dropped as the lie that Draco had told sank in. In a heart beat, Harry grabbed his wand and shot a hex at Draco. Draco flew back against the back of the sofa in the middle of the room.
"If you ever lay a hand on her again Malfoy, I swear I'll hex your ass all the way to hell...."
"You don't have an property rights on her, I can do anything I want..." Draco replied as he got up and a malicious grin was plastered on his face.
"If he tries anything with you, you let me know and I swear I'll kill him." he said as he clenched his teeth
Harry got up and grabbed the Potion's book from the table and left. Hermione watched as he left. Draco got up and looked into the nearest mirror seeing for any imperfections.
"That bastard is going to pay."
Hermione swiftly walked over to Malfoy and spun him around.
"You won't do ANYTHING to him Malfoy you understand me." Her eyes narrowed into tiny slits.
"I just got beat up by that stupid scar-head. You think I'll let that slip?"
"You didn't even need to butt in. I could have handled it on my own!"
"Oh... yea.... right.... that was apparent."
"I can't even express how much I hate you right now Malfoy"
"Oh I can guess how much... pushing me away like that, like I was some filthy beast. Afraid to show them what truly lies behind these doors."
"And like you can talk... you would never admit to anyone that you are kissing a filthy mudblood... and even worse that you LIKE kissing a filthy mudblood."
"Who said I even liked it? WHO SAID I EVEN LIKED YOU?" Draco yelled.
The walls shook as he yelled.
"You foul little..."
But before she could go on, Draco lifted his hand and slapped her across the face. Her hair fell into her eyes as she clutched her cheek. A red mark flashed angrily across her face. Draco felt his hand buzz and looked into her eyes. They were turning glossy and she was on the verge of crying But she held it in... she wouldn't cry over him anymore. Draco felt out of breath and hot. He had never hit a girl before.
"Why did I even let you touch me?"
"Granger..."
"DON'T COME NEAR ME!"
"I DIDN'T EVEN MEAN IT"
"If you didn't mean it, then you wouldn't have done it..." her voice quavered... it sank in anger "I can't believe I even looked at you in a different light Malfoy... You'll never change!"
Draco's head began to pound with white-hot anger... He looked at her... missing her warm brown eyes. They were black pits now... waiting to devour him. He couldn't take it anymore. Draco swiftly walked up to her and took her face into his hands and kissed her. Hermione immediately pushed him away and began to yell...
"STOP IT ... just stop it. Don't do this to me. What ARE we? Why do you care one minute and then hate me the next?? Oh no wait you never cared for me... isn't that right Malfoy?"
"That's a lie..."
"Then PROVE IT... atleast Harry can show that he cares."
"I'm sick of hearing about you're stupid, precious little Harry Potter."
"At least I know he will always be there for me, at least I know that he deeply cares for me and that I am his best friend no matter what. This is just a game you're playing... it's just a stupid childish game. Well guess what Malfoy, I hope that one day when someone plays with your heart the way you did with mine... then you'll feel the hurt and pain and suffering. Then you will learn. You never learned to love Malfoy... pure hatred is all you've been taught... All you KNOW is hate."
Draco looked at Hermione's face... it had turned even paler. He could see that she was seeming with anger. He had pushed it on too far. Hermione turned on her heel and headed for her room.
She slammed the door behind her and began to pace. Anger coarsed through her veins as she thought of the slap she had been gifted with on her cheek. She did not deserve that. Hermione sat down at the edge of her bed and grabbed her book. She needed to calm herself... she was beyond tears... she was beyond anger... she felt hate. Pure hatred.
She began to read the book... and practiced a small spell. After about 5 minutes she had calmed herself down a bit... and her mind had wandered... until she heard the door open and Draco walked in.
"You are not leaving until we talk this out Granger..." Draco said as he slammed the door shut behind him.
Hermione kept staring at her book... determined not to talk to him. He swiftly walked up to her and snatched the book out of her hands.
"Give me back my book Malfoy and please get out of my room." Hermione replied as she got up and tried to grab the book from Malfoy... he hid it behind her hands. He walked over to the french doors and held the book over the balcony... threatening to drop it.
"What are you doing??"
"So you can just shutup and listen to me."
"I don't want to listen to your excuses. They don't mean anything anymore."
Hermione looked towards the book and then to Draco. She walked over and grabbed the book... he wouldn't let go.
"Give the book to me Malfoy."
"Then sit down and talk .... and don't throw a goddamn fit like you're five years old all over again."
::Favorite book.... over the balcony... I won't have it...::
"Fine..."
Draco handed the book over to Hermione. She walked back to the bed and Draco closed the doors behind her. He walked over to the doors that led to the hallway and locked them.
"What do you think you are doing?" Hermione said as she noticed he was locking the door.
"This is so you won't storm out of the room like you always do."
Hermione sat down on the bed and turned her back to Draco. Her back was upright and her chin held high. She crossed her arms. Draco slowly made his way to the bed and sat down. He looked at her bushy hair.
::I'll never be able to talk to her with her back towards me::
Draco grabbed her arm and tried to turn her around.
"Don't touch me"
He did it again.
"I said don't touch me!"
"Well you're going to have to turn around so we can talk... or would you rather be stuck here all night?"
Hermione turned around.
"Explain to me what this is. Explain why you actually care about me at times and then hide it the next."
Draco absentmindedly stared at her neck.
"I don't exactly have an answer for either of those questions..."
"Well then don't act upon them Malfoy!" she said in a sarcastic voice.
Draco broke his gaze away from her slender neck and looked into her eyes. He moved closer to her.
"No..." she held up her hand.
"I know you don't mean that..."
"I do" Hermione replied in a defiant tone.
Draco leaned in and caressed her neck with his lips... her body smelled sweet. He moved beneath her ear and kissed it gently... it was her weak spot. He felt Hermione's hand move up his face and hold onto his blonde hair and his robes for support. Draco let his other hand hold her face and caressed her cheek with his thumb. He left trails of kisses along her jawline.
"This isn't right..."
He kept kissing her... moving closer to her lips.
"We don't even know what we are..."
"It doesn't matter." Draco whispered and he captured his lips with hers. He opened his mouth and lay Hermione's head onto the pillow. Hermione gently pushed Draco away and sat up.
"It does matter..." her voice shook.
Draco looked at her... puzzled.
"Fine... have a nice night Granger..."
Hermione watched as he got up, unlocked the door and shut the door behind him before he gave her one last hopeful look. Hermione shook off her robe and slipped off her nightrobes. She took out her pajamas, a star patterned pajama bottom and a gray tanktop, and slipped them on. Hermione lay down and looked up at the canopy bed...
Three hours had passed by as Hermione checked the clock.
::What has gotten into you Hermione?::
She couldn't sleep with an unresolved matter hovering over her brain. The air was chilly as Hermione pulled the covers over her shoulder... her nose was still cold. She touched it and it felt like ice. Hermione got out of her bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked very sleepy... but she just was not able to sleep. Hermione looked through the mirror behind her and saw Draco's jumper. She walked over to it and picked it up, feeling the softness of the fabric. Hermione snuggled her face into his jumper.
Draco could be so sweet when he really meant it, she thought. She missed him... she wished he was like that all the time. Hermione realized that she did not like having Draco mad at her. She began to head for the door to go into Draco's room, but before she put her hand on the door knob, she stopped herself.
"No Hermione... not again" She said to herself
"Oh but it's just one night... ugh... No, it's wrong and he probably will just get annoyed with me anyway." Hermione turned her back to the door and folded her arms.
"What has gotten into you Hermione Granger... you do not wonder whether or not you should climb into another boy's bed... it is WRONG."
Hermione couldn't help it though... she turned the doorknob and walked out into the hallway. It was dark and the cold stone beneath her feet ran a chill through her spine. She walked swiftly towards Draco's door.
:: Just do it ::
Hermione turned the door knob and saw a figure laying in the green silk sheets. She quietly closed the door behind her and walked towards the bed. She looked down at the person sleeping in the bed and saw that his eyes were wide open...
"I couldn't sleep either..." Draco said as he cast his gaze away from the view outside to Hermione. Hermione blushed... being in a half naked boy's room in the middle of the night was not in her character. She felt awkward.
"What? Are you here to insult me even more Mudblood?" Draco said as he got up from the bed.
Hermione looked to the floor and decided that coming there was a mistake.
"Don't expect to find yourself in my bed Malfoy... and plus why would I ever come in here for that. I was just merely seeing if you were awake or not. You shouldn't be, after the stunts you've pulled." She turned on her heel and left his room.
Hermione entered her room and slammed the door shut behind her. She had never felt so angry in her life. She looked at Draco's jumper that lay on her bed. She touched the soft fabric.... fuming with anger she picked it up and threw it across the room to the door. She lay back down on her bed with her arms crossed together. After a few minutes of trying to calm herself down she heard the door creak open. She knew who it was.
Draco looked to the floor and found his jumper. He picked it up and strode over to Hermione... taking a seat by her feet. He pulled her up by the arm. A few moments of silence were passed... Draco took the jumper and slipped it over Hermione's head. Startled, Hermione did nothing as he helped her pull her arms through the sleeves. He bent down and gently kissed her forehead.
"Goodnight Mudblood..."
And he left without another word...
AlexianGoddess - Thanks, come back friday and you'll get a new one. Hope you like this chapter

Amber - Lol you just love predicting the future of this story don't you hehe. You can read my mind or something I don't know. Yea i know she did cry a lot in the beginning and i was thinking that around like the 5th chapter... maybe i should end the vulnerability.. i wanted people to get the feel of how she was really vulnerable at that time and she had NO idea what she was doing. Defying her parents, her best friends, her house, her duties everything... to be with this one boy who made fun of her for 6 years. But in this chapter... even before you reviewed.... i was like well i think she should get a little tougher because I want Hermione to be a strong character... not a wuss. So now I think she realizes what is going on ... she just needs to find out what is going ON lol. And oh... trust me the Ginny/Harry thing... will NOT be old fashioned. I'll guarantee that. I am all for cliff hangers and twists ;) Don't worry. Keep reading I just love your reviews they are fun to reply to hehe.
