Chapter 10

A/N: I do not own these amazing characters in this story, they belong to the one and only J.K Rowling.

"Gin, I feel like I haven't seen you in ages! Did you have a good time in Hogsmeade two days ago?" Hermione asked Ginny as they sat in the Grand Hall waiting for the boys to come and join them for tea.

"I had a great time in Hogsmeade." Ginny replied, with a huge smirk on her face.

"Don't tell me you guys did it in an alleyway..." Hermione groaned. She was absolutely against public sex.

Ginny giggled. "We did. And the fact that anyone could walk through and see us made it so much more hot."

"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed and burst into giggles.

"Trust me, sex is amazing! You will love it!" Ginny promised.

Hermione rolled her eyes, and out of the corner of her eye she saw a face staring at her. A face which was too familiar.

His dark grey lust filled eyes were staring intensely into hers. And his plump perfect lips were slightly parted.

Hermione's heart was beating so fast she thought it could be seen beating from a mile away. He looked sexy... Perfect even. She just wanted to go up and kiss his dreamy lips...

No! Hermione! What are you thinking! You hate him! You're enemies!

Malfoy smirked at the sight of Hermione's horrified face. One minute she was off in dream land and the next her face is scrunched up in disgust.

"Hermione." Ginny said, breaking Hermione out of her thoughts.

"Yeah." She took one last look at her enemy before turning her attention towards Ginny.

"Were you staring at Malfoy?" She asked, smirking.

"No. I was just staring in that direction." Hermione lied. She wasn't sure if she should tell Ginny about what she and Malfoy have done.

Part of her wants it to be a secret, but the other part wants to tell her best friend about her secret kisses with her enemy.

"Okay. If you say so." Ginny said, not convinced one bit. She knew something would have to happen between the two, after all they after sharing the same living space.

"I'm serious Gin. I hate Malfoy. We're enemies."

"I know, I know."

"Ginny. Hermione." Harry said, sitting down opposite Hermione.

"Where's Ron?" Ginny asked.

"Snogging Lavender in the corridor." Harry replied simply. He piled his plate full of bacon and eggs.

"Oh." Hermione and Ginny replied.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Dumbledores loud voice boomed across the great hall. Everyone instantly looked up at the Headmaster.

"Can the two head students come with me immediately. That will be all. Have a good day everyone." Dumbledore finished.

Hermione stood up and walked towards the Headmaster. Malfoy fell into step with her as they walked.

"Do you have any idea what this is about Granger?" Malfoy asked.

"No. Do you?"

"Nope. No clue."

"Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy. I need you both to do something for me." Dumbledore asked.

"Okay." Hermione said.

"I need you both to make up the patrol rosters. Can you both do that and have it to me tomorrow morning?"

"Yes Headmaster." They both responded.

"Oh and one more thing. You both have to do the most patrolling and you have to be patrol partners." Dumbledore said.

"Do we have to be partners?" Malfoy groaned.

"Yes. Now get to class before you're late." Dumbledore said firmly.

Hermione and Malfoy walked away groaning.

"Why do we have to be partners?" Malfoy groaned.

"I have no idea Malfoy. But this will be just as bad for me as it is for you."

"Nah shit Granger." Malfoy rolled his eyes.

"But why are we doing this now? Shouldn't this have been done a few weeks ago?" Hermione asked curiously.

"How am I supposed to know Granger? You're the know it all, you should know." Malfoy teased.

"I am not a know it all Malfoy. There are many things I don't know. Like for example I don't know all the things Luna talks about." Hermione defended.

Malfoy couldn't help but smirk as she defended herself. She's so cute when she's angry.

That's right, he just admitted that she's cute.

"Okay that is true Granger, but you're still a know it all." Malfoy said this in a more teasing voice rather than a mean one.

But Hermione didn't pick up on his teasing tone, she thought he was just being a prick like always.

"I thought we agreed you wouldn't call me that." Hermione snapped, her ice cold glare shooting through him.

"I agreed not to call you a bookworm."

"Whatever Malfoy. I don't have time for this." Hermione quickened her pace.

So did Malfoy.

"Granger, just calm down okay? I'm just joking around." Malfoy said, closing the door as they entered their common room.

Hermione suddenly turned around causing Malfoy to hit the closed door with his back.

"Malfoy, you have never joked with me so don't start now. I know you and I know you're being mean now, not teasing me. So stop." Hermione yelled.

Their bodies were almost touching. Hermione had her right arm across Malfoy's upper chest, holding him in place. Electricity was flying off them rapidly.

Hermione's words and intense glare made Malfoy burst out laughing.

Hermione took a step back, utterly confused.

"What the hell?" She asked.

"You... You looked so serious... And I was only joking around... With you and then... You just crack and have a skits... Granger you are too funny!" Malfoy said in between laughs.

Hermione was speechless. She yelled at him and then he laughed at her! In all of their fights he has never done that before.

"Malfoy! This is not funny! Don't laugh at me!" Hermione yelled. She was beyond angry.

"Yes Granger, this is fucking funny! I was only joking around!" Malfoy laughed.

Hermione couldn't take his bullshit anymore. So she did the first thing that popped into her mind.

She slapped his cheek. Hard.

"Fucking hell!" He yelled, clutching his cheek.

"You deserved that Malfoy." Hermione yelled, but didn't move away from him.

Malfoy reached out and placed his hand in the junction between Hermione's necks and shoulder. His thumb began to rub circles on her neck.

"Granger," he whispered softly, "I know I did. I really was only just joking around. I'm sorry I made you angry. You had every right to slap me. I am a dick to you. So let me make it up to you."

Hermione was speechless. It took her a few moments to process his words. He has never spoken to her like this.

"I don't want anything from you." Hermione tried to sound mad, but it didn't come out that way.

"Have you been thinking about our last kiss a few days ago?" Malfoy whispered.

Of course she had. She was a woman with needs, and she dreamt of having such powerful and meaningful kisses. But she would never admit that.

"What's that got to do with anything?" Hermione whispered.

Malfoy ignored Hermione's question. "Well I have. It was an amazing kiss. I didn't know I could kiss like that. But it's been on my mind. I agree with you, it was one of our best kisses. But it isn't how I kiss. It's too meaningful for me. For us."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm going to kiss you again, just like that. To make you feel better and to make it up to you. But this doesn't change anything. We're still enemies who hate each other, okay?" Malfoy asked quietly, jumping with excitement.

"Okay." Hermione softly whispered.

Malfoy softly brushed his warm lips over hers, breathing in her scent and the warmness and beauty of her. Hermione's hands tangled in his hair, trying to get him to kiss her.

Malfoy put his free hand on her waist to pull her closer while his other hand remained on her neck.

After what felt like years to Hermione, their lips finally met. Their lips moulded together like they were made to fit together like a jigsaw.

They moved slowly against each other, neither one wanting to end this breath taking kiss.

Malfoy sucked lightly on Hermione's bottom lip, causing her to moan softly.

Both of their bodies were on fire. The kiss wasn't hungry or demanding. It wasn't fierce or hurtful either. This kiss was soft and deliberate. It was slow and meaningful as well.

And so much better than their other sweet kiss.

It was like they were making magic. It was just perfect. Their bodies were on fire from this pure magic they were making.

After several minutes, they had to pull apart to breathe. But they only pulled away from each other slightly, as neither one wanted this pure bliss to end. Their eyes remained closed as they stood there together, breathing in the scent of one another.

Malfoy was the first one to break the silence, minutes later.

"Holy shit." He murmured breathlessly.

Hermione moaned softly in response.

It was like time had stopped. They didn't care class had started. They didn't care they were still in the doorway. It didn't matter.

What mattered was the incredible kiss they just shared.

"Class has started." Hermione murmured, not caring she was missing it.

Malfoy moaned in response.

"I don't want to go..." Hermione whispered.

Malfoy kissed Hermione's forehead tenderly and separated himself from her.

"I really hate to say this but we need to get to class." Malfoy said.

"Yeah. I know."

They gathered their books and left the common room and walked down the corridor to their separate classes.

Just as they were about to go their separate ways, Hermione stopped and looked at him.

"That was one hell of a kiss. But it doesn't change anything. I still hate you Malfoy." Hermione said softly.

"As I loathe you Granger."

xoxoxoxoxox

Everyone was supposed to be in class. No one was supposed to see them. But someone did.

The person already wanted revenge. But now they want it even more. This person is going to ruin Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger.

But first this person is going to discover more of their secret.

xoxoxoxox

"No Granger, they can't go together they will end up shagging in a closet!" Malfoy protested.

They were both sitting on the couch in front of the small table with heaps of names on it as they are attempting to pair together the prefects for patrol duty.

But this is a lot harder than they both thought it would be. They both couldn't agree on who would work best together.

Half the students paired together would end up shagging and the other half would end up fighting or getting themselves into trouble.

Hermione groaned. "Why is this so hard!"

"I have no fucking idea. How about we put them together?" Malfoy asked, pointing at two names.

"Yeah whatever. Just put them together." Hermione responded. She was well past the point of caring who got paired together.

So was Malfoy. So he randomly put names together, not caring if they would end up shagging or fighting.

"There. How's that? That's half of them done." Malfoy said.

"Yeah that's good. Lets take a break. Do you want something to drink?" Hermione said, standing up and making her way to the kitchen.

"I didn't say we could have a break Granger." Malfoy smirked.

Hermione got two glasses out and started filling them with water and ice. "Since when are you the boss?" Hermione teased back.

"Well I am the man."

"Malfoy." Hermione groaned. She hates when people put men as a higher importance than women.

"Sorry Granger. We can have a break." Malfoy said as Hermione returned to the couch with two glass of water.

"Why did you put ice in it? It's the middle of autumn!" Malfoy asked.

"I like ice in my drink." Hermione responded.

"But I'm allergic to ice. It makes me feel dizzy." Malfoy smirked.

"How do you even know about ice?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I do actually know many muggle things Granger."

"Merlin! Does the Draco Malfoy actually know things about muggles?" Hermione pretended to sound shocked.

"Yes that's right. Just don't tell too many people Granger. People would have a fit if they knew."

"My lips are sealed." Hermione smirked.

"You know even though its autumn, water with ice does taste pretty good. Lets just hope I don't get dizzy and do something stupid." Malfoy joked.

"See Malfoy, I do know a thing or two. And don't worry, I am positive this ice won't do any of that."

"Good." Malfoy smirked.

"So what are we going to do about the rest of these prefects?" Hermione asked as she took the empty glasses back to the kitchen.

"Don't know. Don't care. But I'm not finished taking my break yet." Malfoy smirked.

Hermione sat back down on the couch. "Well what if I am finished?"

"Too bad. Granger, we need to talk." Malfoy said seriously.

"Malfoy. You can't break up with me again. We already did that, remember?" Hermione joked.

"Yes Granger, I remember."

"So what, are you saying you want to get back together?" Hermione teased.

"Something like that." Malfoy murmured so softly Hermione hardly heard him.

"What do you mean?" Hermione asked. There was no sarcasm left in her voice.

"Just hear me out Granger. It's going to sound ridiculous but anyway, okay so you know how we've been kissing a lot lately, you know to resolve our anger?" Malfoy said nervously.

"Yes..." Hermione was completely confused where Malfoy was going with this.

"Well I don't know how to say this. But I still hate you, but I was thinking since we had our amazing kiss this morning, that we should do it more often."

"Malfoy... what are you saying?"

"I want to kiss you, whenever I want. But just not in public. Because your kisses are the best I've ever had. And I will always hate you, and this doesn't change anything. We're enemies who kiss."

"So you're saying... You want to kiss me whenever you want, because you like it." Hermione slowly questioned.

"Yes."

"How would this work?"

"We are still enemies. We still fight, but we just occasionally make out."

"But why?" Hermione asked.

"Because I like your kisses. They're nothing I've ever experienced before. I know it's wrong, but it just feels so right."

"Oh. So let me get this. You want to be enemies who kiss but it doesn't mean anything."

Malfoy knew she had to say yes to his proposition. He absolutely hates her but he loves Granger's kisses, and he knows Granger doesn't like the fact that they kiss to relieve their anger. He also knows Granger will soon stop kissing him, but he doesn't want that to happen.

So if they have an agreement, then he'll get what he wants. After all Malfoy's always get what they want.

"Yes."

"What do I get in return?" Hermione asked.

"I won't call you a know it all. I won't call you anything mean and I won't call you names."

"Okay, that seems fair I guess."

"So what do you say? Can we give this a go?" Malfoy asked hopefully.

A/N: mwhahaha! Cliffy!

I didn't know Malfoy was going to ask that until I started writing it, and I'm still not sure on it, but decided to post this chapter anyway.

Sorry for the long wait, I've been busy with family friends who came to stay.
