CHAPTER TEN

Draco was seething as he entered the common room after Hermione. She was sitting on the couch smiling goofily while she was working on something. Draco walked right up to her and grabbed the piece of parchment from her.

"What's this? A love letter to your new boyfriend?" he asked scowling at her.

"Actually if you'd look at it you'd notice it's my potions assignment. And I don't have a new boyfriend Malfoy, in fact I don't have an old boyfriend since we never really dated!" Hermione replied getting up to try and retrieve the parchment from his grasp but he just held it over his head.

"Don't bloody lie to me Granger, I saw you with him, with Theo!" Mlalfoy growled at her.

"Draco I am not dating Theo, and even if I was it wouldn't be any of your business, YOU ended things with me! Get that through that thick skull of yours! You don't get to be upset if I'm moving on when you already have! Now give me back my potions assignment and leave me the bloody hell alone Malfoy!" Hermione's face was turning red as she ranted poking him in the chest a couple times when she said you to accentuate her point.

Draco grabbed Hermione's wrist and pulled her against his chest, his other hand hold her potions assigment above his head still. "Hermione," he growled before smashing his lipss down against hers in a hard kiss.

Hermione pulled away quickly and swiftly slapped him across the face. "What the living fuck is wrong with you!" Hermione yelled rhetorically, "Can you not keep you're damn hands to yourself, you ended things with me, you don't get to just decide you want to take it back and then POOF it's okay, as a matter of fact you haven't even said you want to take it back you just keep attacking me Draco, it seems like you can't stop, maybe that's something you should think about," Hermione was talking sofltly by the end of her rant, after she just kinda shook her head and let out a tired sigh before turning and heading to bed, leaving Malfoy with her assignment.

Draco stoof there holding his cheek for a second thinking about what she said. Why couldn't he stop himself from doing things like kissing her or bugging her? Why did it make him so angry that she had spent the afternoon with and kissed Theo? Could he possibly have f-f-f-feelings for the little book worm? No! Draco Lucious Malfoy does not have those kind of feelings, especially for snotty little book worms.

Shaking his head and pondering these things Draco set down Hermione's assigntment and made his way up to his room. He needed a good night's sleep tonight for quidditch practice tomorrow...though he probably wouldn't get it now.

Hermione was in her room changing into her night clothes. She was knawing at her lip deep in thought. Why wouldn't Draco just back off and leave her alone? He ended things with her not the other way around. Didn't he realize how hard it was just to be near to him let alone have him persuing her mercilessly for a meaningless shag. Hermione continued to ponder and she turned her light off and climbed into her warm cozy bed.

Hermione tossed and turned for a long time. Draco was in his room doing the same as well. Neither could seem to get the thought of one another out tof their heads.

Draco was getting extremely frustrated when he threw his blankets off him violently and stormed into Hermione's room. Hermione quickly sat up when her door was slammed open and Malfoy stormed in. He was pacing back and forth in front of her bed and she just sat there and watched him.

"Uh...Malfoy, not to disturb you or anything but, why are you in my room?" Hermione asked tentatively after a couple minutes.

Sighing angrily Draco ran his hands roughly through his hair before turning to Hermione.

"I can keep my hands to myself! I control myself pretty damn well for having you walk around school in all those sexy outfits of yours! If I had no self control I'd be in bed with you right now teasing you to the point where you begged me to shag you but I'm not! And I can stop myself from coming on to you, but I don't want to! So there! Are you happy now Granger? I said it, I don't want to stop coming on to you, I want to be the one you kiss and come home to, I take what I said that night back!" Draco practically screamed at her.

"No Draco, that doesn't make me happy. You have done nothing since that night and including it except hurt me, and harass me. You have done nothing but prove that whatever we had was one sided, this is just your possesive side speaking now. You don't care for me Draco, you never have." Hermione sighed, "Can you please just leave my room Malfoy, I need sleep."

Hermione's words stung Draco. He cared for her, he wouldn't be in her room at one in the damn morning pacing back and forth trying to figure out how to tell her he wanted her if he didn't care for her. She just dismissed his feelings though, claimed he was just possesive. He never cuddled with any other girl besides Granger, she smelled like cinnamon and strawberries. Draco narrowed his eyes at her, he was angry now.

"You know what Granger? You're right, I am being completely ridiculous, I could never have feelings for some one like you," Draco practically spat the word feeling at her before turning and quickly storming out of the room, slamming the door so hard behind him Hermione swears she felt the floor underneath her bed shake.

Hermione sighed and laid down, burrying her face in the pillow she let the tears fall. It hurt to hear him say he couldn't have feelings for some one like her. She knew now though she was definitely doing the right thing by moving on.

Draco could hear Hermione crying. He felt guilty, he hadn'e meant what he had said. He did have feelings for her. That's what he was in there trying to bloody well tell her. That he cared for her, that he coudln't stop thinking about her, that he didn't want to be with anyone but her. But she wouldn't just bloody well listen, no she had to be Hermione Granger and argue with him. She never could just accept things at face value. She's always reading into things.

Well if she wouldn't listen, he'd make her see how he felt, Draco thought to himself before closing his eyes and plotting until he fell asleep.
