October 3

I was really tired tonight. Between Quidditich, dueling with Blaise, and homework, I was just beat.

I trudged my way up to the head dorms, my broom slung over my shoulder. As I enter, I see Granger sitting on the floor in the common room poring over what looks to be Arithmancy. She looks up and I nod in greeting as our eyes connect.

We hadn't really exchanged many words since that bathroom incident. Granger has done all that is in her power to avoid me, except during meetings. Even then, she doesn't say much. The girl can't even look me in the eye.

There is something different in her eyes tonight though, so my curiosity is peaked.

"Malfoy."

"Granger." Why are her cheeks red all of a sudden? I finally notice her lowered gaze and realize that I have no shirt on. So what? It's not like she hasn't seen a bare chest before. I think.

WHY DO I EVEN CARE!?

"Can we talk?" What?

"What? Why?"

She falters, but manages to remain resolute. "Come back here after you put your stuff up and shirt on and I'll tell you." I go back to my room to put my things up and reenter the common room.

"What do you want Granger?"

"Where is your shirt?" Are we still on that?

I smirk at her. "In my drawer with my other shirts." It's not rocket science mudblood. I like making you uncomfortable.

"But.."

"Enough with the gibberish Granger. Does this have something to do with Head business?" I stare at her as she breathes deeply. She comes out in a gush

"DOYOUEVERTHINKABOUTTHATINCIDENT?"

That's what this is about? Only Granger would think of this as serious. A naughty plan forms in my mind. Let's play with this.

"What did you say? I didn't quite catch that."

I watch her as she lets her bun down to quickly massage her scalp. In that brief moment as her eyes are closed I notice how alluring her actions are.

If you think you have tension now, you just wait.

She takes another deep breath to calm herself before she continues. "Do you ever think about that incident in the bathroom?"

"What incident Granger? We run into each other in the bathroom all the time remember?? We SHARE it!"

3...2...1....

"You're right Malfoy, but there was one time where ONE OF US DIDN'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON YOU NO GOOD FERRET!" She gives me a fierce glare which pleases me, since I like this Granger better. All fiery.. and hot.

I begin to raise my voice. "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY MUDBLOOD!? YOU HAVE TITS AND ASS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER GIRL!" Actually, she has an awesome body. (mental slap)

Down Malfoy, or you'll fuck up the plan.

"I was expecting you to at least try being mature about this..."

"I am being mature, but you didn't answer my question. What do you want me to say?"

"You didn't answer my question Malfoy."

"Granger, are you or are you not the smartest witch of our year? Merlin woman answer that for yourself!" If we are talking about it, means that I have thought about it. I mentioned tits and ass, so I have to have processed yours in my mind.

How thick can she get?

She frowns at me and sighs. "I don't know what I expected to come from this conversation really, but mark my words ferret, I will get you back one day." REALLY? I smirk at her.

Alright, I will give you a chance, right now.

"Alright. Since you insist, we are going to make it even right now." I reach for my pants buckle.

Her eyes widen. " WHAT!? MALFOY NO!" She looks away. C'mon mudblood, you had to have seen this coming.

"WHY NOT GRANGER! I've seen you... now you can see me. It's only fair. Now turn around."

"NO! First your chest and now this! STOP IT RIGHT THIS MINUTE MALFOY!" I don't think so. I unzip my pants so that they are now open to reveal my boxers.

She hears my footsteps as I come closer to her. "Don't come any closer Malfoy, I'm warning you!"

Fair enough, but I've got something to show you first.

"Turn around Granger." I place my arms around her waist in an almost protective gesture. Yum.. she smells like strawberries.

I can feel her body tense against my chest. She responds with a quivering voice. "Get your hands off me Malfoy. I mean it."

The purpose was to embarrass her, but now I have no idea what's going on. I hate yet lust after her at the same time. A bushy haired know-it-all who by some feat, became a beautiful desirable woman while many of us weren't looking.

I shake my head in an effort to clear my thoughts. I better stop before things go too far.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice that she had already turned while in my arms. I could feel her eyes on every part of me as she drank me in. Her eyes reaching my face, she used her fingertip to trace my jawline.

"Malfoy, what are y—"

I stop her flow of words with a searing kiss, our mouths crush together as I lift her off the floor to bring her body closer to mine. I move until I place her back against the wall, my body serving as support. Granger moans as she places her arms around my neck, tilting her head to grant me access as my tongue plunges into her mouth.

She gasps with the new sensation as I attempt to coax her tongue to come out and play. Timidly, she begins her dance until she is matching me stroke for stroke as if a mating dance. She runs her fingers through my hair while wrapping her legs around my waist, pulling her closer; if that's even possible.

Her skirt up to her waist, she only has knickers on as I massage her ass and suck on her bottom lip. She grinds against me. I groan as my still covered erection rubs against her cleft.

I stop my assault to look at her, cheeks rosy from our kissing—lips moist and beckoning.

"Ahh.. Draco." Whoa.. Draco? First names now?

Nervously, I begin to lower her back to the ground. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!? This is a total mistake...

SMACK!! Again!?

"Dammit Granger! What was that for?" I rub my cheek.

Where was the hot and fiery female who was snogging the hell out of me a minute ago?

See? I TOLD you it was a mistake.

"I am NOT one of your whores you son of a bitch! Don't you ever touch me again!" Her eyes flash at me in defiance before she begins to walk away. Oh yeah?? Don't tell me what to do dammit!

I malevolently glare at her as I forcefully grab her shoulders to yank her to back to my lips. To her surprise (and mine), my kiss isn't as harsh, but soft.. and wooing. I stop as she begins to respond to the kiss and walk off; leaving a very confused Granger. I laugh as I say my parting words over my shoulder.

"You can't tame the untamable Granger, that's why they call it wild."

-For Lorett, an encouragement to me and champion of Draco and Blaise. Without her, these new updates would have taken even LONGER to come out. Thanks for the push girlie! :o)

A/N(For Ch's 9 and 10): Ch 10 I cannot believe this! I have a whole new respect for writers everywhere. It is so hard to sit down and write something that makes some sort of sense. I really hope you guys enjoyed the installments and like how the story is going thus far. I also hope that you guys are picking up the clues that I am dropping here and there because they are the key to future chapters. If not, relax, have a latte and enjoy the show! We have a ways to go.

At this time I would like to thank everyone (seen and unseen) who has taken the time to R&R (or just read) my story. I appreciate it. Also to my muses, you know who you all are. Keep writing wonderful things.

-NB

P.S: Auburn Lily, girl if u are reading this. I miss Yankee Accents! When are u going to update? :o)
