Chapter 8

Hermione was sitting in her common room after discussing the upcoming Halloween ball with Draco. They had decided on having it be a masquerade ball with everyone taking their masks off at the end of the night to reveal who they were. Letting everyone dance with whom ever they wanted to, without fear of dancing with the wrong sort of person. The mystery of it all would be great.

Hermione decided to go and find Ginny and have a girl's day finally and discuss everything that has been going on with her and Draco. Ginny was after all the best girl friend she had and she so desperately wanted to talk to her.

Hermione found Ginny outside by the lake, leaning against the tree. She sat down next to her friend and noticed her staring off somewhere. Hermione tried to figure out what she was looking at and saw only Draco and Theo standing down just out side the forbidden forest.

"Hey what are you looking at?" She asked

Ginny began to blush and turned towards Hermione. "Oh nothing. Just started day dreaming is all." Hermione started to wonder if the other girl had a crush on one of the guys. Throwing this thought out of her head she smiled at Ginny.

"So how has things been going Gin?"

"They are alright. Ron is annoying as ever, trying to keep every guy away from me. Harry is miserable, since you began dating Draco. I think he may have a thing for you. Would rather see you with him then ferret boy." She laughed

"Now Gin I am sorry but I see a different Draco then you guys see. He treats me well and he is so sweet to me all the time." Hermione looked over towards Draco and he saw her look and smiled back, waving slightly.

Draco was wondering what the girls were talking about while trying to get Theo to shut the fuck up. The boy was ever so annoying. He lost the bet fair and square but would not drop it until Draco slept with Hermione. Not one to back down from a bet he knew he had to do the deed and then break her heart. He regretted having gotten into this situation but he could not let anyone see him as weak.

"I will get it done, but you know she will never look at you again Theo. So why are you even trying?"

"Well there is always the possibility that she leaves you and ends up with someone else before you get the chance to sleep with her." Theo smiled

"You better not do anything stupid Theo or I swear I will hex you till you can't move anymore."

"Oh don't worry. I think there are others that would like the chance to actually be with her. You have nothing to worry about from me." Draco looked over at Hermione again and saw her smiling and laughing with Ginny. He knew that soon that smile would be gone and he would be the cause of it. He only hoped that she would understand after and that he never wanted to truly hurt her.

Hermione realized she had to go meet up with Blaise to have his tutoring session. She said her goodbyes to Ginny and went to the library. When she entered she spotted Blaise at the back table near the window. He had books spread out everywhere and his hair was a mess. Every few seconds he would swear in Italian and crumple up the piece of paper he was writing on.

Hermione figured she should get over there before he decided to hex everything away. She thought he looked so cute, hair all ruffled and looking frustrated. Then she remembered he was with Pansy and her heart sank. She had no clue why she felt this way, she was of course happy with Draco, or wasn't she?

"Hey Blaise." Blaise snapped his head up fast and tried to smile at her but he did not have the energy. For what she did not know was he had just showed up there fifteen minutes before after having a very long heart to heart conversation with Pansy. It took everything out of him just talking about his feelings for Hermione, but not being able to tell anyone about the bet took even more out of him.

"Hey. Glad you came. I think I am going to burn this book and just drop the class."

"No you can not do that Blaise. You are very smart; you just need to concentrate on the potions instead of whatever else is in that head of yours." She smiled at him. He just looked away, that smile breaking his heart even more. They worked on the potions assignment for an hour and Blaise finally got it right. As he was packing up his things Hermione tried to start a friendly conversation with him.

"So how are you and Pansy doing?" She asked, still thinking they were dating.

"What are you talking about?" He stopped packing his bag and looked at her in confusion.

"I thought you two have been dating?"

"Oh my god, that prick. Is that why you pushed me away last time in here, is that why you decided to start dating Draco?" He was inches away from her now.

"That is one reason why I pushed you away, also because I am with Draco." She replied

"Well I am not with Pansy and I have never been with her. I do not like her that way." He saw the expression on her face change from happiness to confusion.

"What are you talking about? Draco said you two started dating and then she was always all over you."

"She and Draco just broke up. He dumped her saying they needed their space. She was devistated and clung to the first friendly person and that was unfortunately myself."

"Oh Blaise I'm so sorry. I just thought." He moved closer, leaning his head towards hers. He placed his arm on the back of the chair, yet again, hoping this time she would not push him away. When she just sat there staring into his eyes, he moved even closer. He gently placed his lips on hers, expecting her to pull away. When she did not he pressed a little harder and moved his hand from the back of the chair to her lower back, pulling her a bit closer.

Hermione began to move her lips against Blaise's and then suddenly realized what she was doing. She pushed him back and let out a small gasp.

"Oh my god Blaise. No we can not do this. I am with Draco and I want it to work with us. Please I can not tutor you any longer, tell professor Snape I am sorry" She grabbed her things and ran out of the library.

Blaise sat there thinking about the bet. He had to let her know somehow, he had to come up with a way to get the information to her before she got hurt. Meanwhile Hermione ran into her common room and Draco was there waiting for her.

"How did your session with Blaise go love?"

"Oh Draco you scared me. It was alright. I am no longer going to tutor him though, conflict of interest, please don't ask."

"Alright, if you ever want to tell me you know you can." He pulled her into him and kissed her passionately on the lips, slowing going down her jaw line and ending with her neck.

Draco knew they have been together for a week and wanted to get the sleeping with over with. He knew he loved her but the longer he put this off the harder it would be. The ball was tomorrow night so he figured if he slept with her tonight he could break it off with her at the ball, in front of everyone. He then hoped he could explain everything to her and she would hopefully forgive him.

He slowly led her into the bedroom and down onto the bed. Lying over the top of her, with both hands on either side of her head, He brought one hand down to gently rub her face, listening to her softly moan to his touch. Placing kisses along her jaw line he moved to gently sucking on her neck, making her grind herself into him, causing him to get hard instantly.

Pulling her shirt over her head and undoing her bra, he began to suck on her breast while playing with the other one with his hand. He moved down to take off her pants and then pulled her underwear off in a flash. He started to play with her clit with his tongue sending her into a moaning frenzy. He quickly removed his clothes and laid over her, looking into her eyes.

"Are you sure about this love?" He wanted to be one hundred percent sure she was ready for this.

"Yes I am positive; please I want to feel you inside me." With that being the encouragement he needed he began to slowly slide into her. He could feel the resistance as he broke though he wall. Hermione squirmed from the slight pain but shortly grabbed onto Draco's ass pulling him further into her.

"Oh Draco you feel so good. Please move more." With that he began to pull out and push in slowly, not wanting to hurt her.

"You are not going to break me Draco, please Harder, faster." He began to pump even more inside her. Not sure how long he was going to last.

"Oh dear god Hermione. You feel so good, so tight. I won't be able to last long."

"Oh god I think I am almost there Draco, faster faster" He pumped in and out of her as fast as he could go. , Feeling her nails digging into his back with every thrust. She let out a slight scream as her walls were tighting around his cock. The pleasure of it made Draco let his load loose inside of her.

He fell on top of her, kissing her neck. He never wanted to move from this position, she felt so good. He decided to finally roll off of her, pulling her close to him. She turned to face him and placed a kiss on his lips.

"That was wonderful Draco."

"Love yes it was." With that they both fell asleep in each others arms.
