'Do you think you can get away and meet me in Hogsmeade?' Draco asked breaking their kiss.

'I can't.' She said kissing him again. 'We're trying to form a Defense against the Dark Arts group to actually practice using magic. I'm trying to get Harry to teach us.'

'What does this have to do with Hogsmead?' He asked.

'Were meeting a group of people in The Hogs Head to see who wants to join.' She kissed him again.

Their kisses had become progressively more passionate over the weeks than they had been before. Hands roamed and it no longer bothered Hermione to straddle Draco's lap. In fact she was starting to like the feel, enjoying the fact that it was her that had this effect on him.

Draco kissed her back with equal vigor. He'd decided he'd take a chance and moved his hands under her shirt to her bare back. Hermione gasped from the coldness of his hands but didn't stop him. She liked the feel of his hands on her bare skin.

Draco ran his hands over her back when he realized she wasn't going to stop him. Her skin felt flawless under his fingers.

'Mmmm, Draco.' Hermione murmured against his lips. She lifted herself up so she was hovering over him and kissed him bringing him in closer with her hands in his hair. When she came back down she brushed Draco in just the right way and he hissed through his teeth.

'Stop Hermione Stop.' He said through his gritted teeth. He couldn't carry on it was getting too much.

'What's wrong?' She panted, they were both out of breath.

'I just need to stop a minute.' He tried to shift himself to try to get comfortable. She looked confused. 'It's just getting a bit uncomfortable. It's too much.'

'Oh! Sorry.' She said sliding off him and into the seat next to him.

'No it's not your fault, it's great, and you're great, it's just.' He blew out a breath of air through his lips not knowing what to say.

'It's ok.' She smiled. She was starting to feel some kind of need for something more too.

'We need to find somewhere better than an empty classroom.' He said taking her hand. 'Imagine if someone had walked into that!' He laughed.

Hermione laughed too as she snuggled in to him and rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Draco kissed her head. Hermione knew she was starting to feel more for him than just lust, but she knew if she admitted how she really felt that it would take her over and that scared her.

Draco on the other hand knew exactly how he felt about Hermione it was useless to deny it. He loved her. Almost to the point it hurt not to be around her. He knew when he walked in to a room, he could feel her presence. He looked down at her and realized she'd fallen asleep. He stroked her cheek with his fingers and she tilted her head into his hand in her sleep. Draco smiled to himself.

Draco knew if he told someone how he felt they would say it was puppy love not real love, but how do they know how he feels? He might be only a teenager but he knew he wouldn't feel more for anyone than this girl asleep on his shoulder.

He knew he was being cruel. He knew they would never last, they would never be allowed to last. If things were different, if he didn't have such a father, maybe they could last. He felt wicked when he thought about their future or lack thereof. He knew she was starting to fall just like him. But he couldn't stay away, he didn't want to stay away. Dammit he thought this will all end up in flames.

He let her sleep for a while longer just enjoying being able to admire her without interruption.

'Minnie.' He kissed the top of her head. 'Minnie you need to wake up now.

'Why?' She sighed.

'Because you're drooling.' He lied.

'Wait, what?' She shot up putting her hand to her mouth to check. 'You bastard.' She said hitting him playfully.

'I knew that would get you up.' He laughed. She was still checking her mouth. 'We should really get going.'

'Probably.' She said sleepily. 'Just a little bit longer though.' She said snuggling back into his shoulder.

'As much as that sounds great Min. I think you're more than likely going to fall asleep again and I don't think me carrying you to Gryffindor tower would go down too well.'

'I suppose your right.' She smiled a sleepy smile at him and kissed him.

'I can still walk you back though we are meant to be patrolling after all.'

'Good. I don't think I could make it back without help.' She laughed. She stood up and stretched and when she did she showed some of her abdomen and Draco swallowed hard when he noticed the small strip of perfect skin.

'See something you like Draco?' Hermione laughed.

'You could say that.' He smiled back at her. He stood up, walked over to her, took her head in his hands and kissed her softly.

Draco began to trail kisses along her jawline towards her neck as he cupped her other cheek with his hand. He'd never kissed her neck before and she felt that with every touch of his lips to her skin it set it aflame while shivers of pleasure ran up her spine. Draco heard her breath catch as he moved down her neck he loved her reactions to him. He moved her shirt collar as he moved downwards and she tilted her head for him. H smiled into her neck. He trailed his fingers down the opposite side of her neck and he kissed her and she let out a small involuntary whimper.

He couldn't help it he let out a small chuckle. He pulled away and looked at her, her eyes were still closed and she was biting her lip.

'Did you enjoy that?' He asked with a grin.

'Mmmm.' was all she could manage she still had her eyes closed. Savoring the tingle from his trail of kisses.

'Come on you.' He laughed. 'I best get you back before Potter thinks I've abducted you.'

'I wouldn't mind.' She said opening her eyes and smiling at him. 'But I suppose you're right let's go.'
