MONSTERS UNIVERSITY RELEASED AND I'M SO EXCITED!

Okay I'm done rambling. On with the tale! (I can't believe its chapter 10!)

This is unchecked by my Beta, her laptop is broken T.T

Chapter 10: Nothing like having two body guards as friends.

"Hey guys. Where's Hermione? I borrowed her Charms book and I wanted to give it back as she might need it for her homework you know. It's due tomorrow so… Uh… Where is she?" Neville said looking at Ron and Harry lounging on the red sofa near the fire.

Their expressions turned sour as they said simultaneously, "With Malfoy." Neville looked taken back. The answer was least expected.

"W-What?" He said bewildered, perfectly sure he had heard wrong.

"For this stupid Potions homework." Harry said looking bitter. Relief dawned on Neville's face. It was just homework.

"Is she in the library then?" Neville asked scratching the back of his neck. Ron shook his head.

"In the Potions classroom, alone, with Malfoy." He informed Neville who raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sure she can handle herself guys." Neville said with firm belief in his statement. He had seen Hermione pull through in pretty tough situations without the blink of hesitation or weakness.

"Sure, but it's killing us." Harry said, his left eye twitching slightly. Neville's gaze turned to Ron and he could literally make out a candle suddenly burn merrily above his head.

"We'll give her the book, Neville. Go on now, leave it on the table." He said turning quickly to Harry and started speaking with hushed urgency. Neville rolled his eyes and put down the book on the table. He shook his head as he made his way back to Ginny, Dean, Seamus and a heated game of Exploding Snap.

He did not notice Ron and Harry sneak out of the common room. He did not see Harry pull out a piece of paper and tap it with his wand. He did not hear Harry whisper, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." He also never heard Ron and Harry gasp as they saw how close Malfoy and Hermione were standing and neither did he see their expressions change to those of anger.

XXXXXX

Draco was also aware how much he suddenly wanted to kiss her.

"Hermione?" He whispered, softly, his eyes fixed on her face. Hermione's eyes flew open wide. They held unmasked shocked and something else Draco could not point out. His hand moved to Hermione's tightened grip on the spoon and he lightly removed her hand from it placing it on the counter beside him. His grey eyes never left the widened eyes of Hermione. "You stirred twice the needed amount." He said softly. His tone was low and held light teasing. She blinked, unmoving. A curl of her brown hair brushed lightly against her cheek.

Draco breathed in lightly, his eyes almost closing. He reached forward and moved the curl, slowly tucking it behind her ear. His hand did not move and cupped her cheek instead. He did not know why he was doing what he was. Why he suddenly felt the compulsion to do so.

Hermione's eyes closed and she began to notice how gently he held her. "Hermione?" Draco repeated. Her eyes flew open. There it was again; her name. He leaned in closer and his hand moved to her jaw. Her eyes threatened to close, and would have if Draco's stormy grey ones had not been commanding them to keep gazing at him. Hermione suddenly noticed the flecks of blue that combined with the grey. He leaned in closer and Hermione could feel his lips just a breath away. His other hand wound itself on her waist and he pulled her closer still. She closed her eyes. "Hermione," He said softly. She leaned in, her hands moving to clutch his shirt, "I'm going to ki-"

'SLAM!' The door flew open.

Hermione jumped and Draco flew back.

A/N: I'm sorry I'm leaving you here and after not updating for so long, with so little. But hear me out I did not think this was a complete chapter, but I had to give you guys something. I was just tying everything together on this story and making sure I leave no loopholes and make the characters be who they are and ease them into it etc etc. I'll post the next chapter by tomorrow. I have it written, but my beta needs to check it and her laptop's broke so pray :P T.T

REVIEW!

Ciao, Alexia.
