Chapter 10: The New Slytherin

?POV:

As they stormed into their dorm, which they shared with five other seven years, they threw them self down on their bed and screamed into a pillow.

"Are you alright?" Questioned the roommate who occupied the bed next to the screamer.

"Just peachy, if you'll excuse me I need to write a letter." With this said they took a piece of parchment out of their bedside table and sat down at their desk with a quill in hand:

Aunt Bella,

There is a girl at Hogwarts that is claiming to be the daughter of the dark lord, and this may be a threat to our whole family and especially to you if indeed she is who she claims to be. The offender in this matter is none other than the mudblood Hermione Granger.

Other than that my seventh year here is going great, you would be proud at the number of people I have made cry.

Love,

Your favorite Niece

They blew lightly on the piece of parchment before sealing it with wax, tying it to the leg of an owl, and throwing the dumb bird out of the damp moss-covered window.

HPOV:

'Draco told me he loves me! Does a mental happy dance inside her head But I wonder what Harry, Ron, and Ginny are going to say when they find out… I hope that they are happy for me, but I doubt they will be… Well I guess I will cross that bridge when it comes…'

Hermione was back the heads dorm with Draco and they were both lounging on the green couch in the living room before their next class started, Hermione with her potions book propped open on her knee and Draco with a quitich magazine.

'I wonder if now Snape will treat me better in Potions, now that I am in his house…'

"Hermione, why are you reading your potions book when you know everything in it?" Questioned Draco.

"I don't know everything in it and plus now that I'm in Slytherin maybe Snape will listen to me now." Replied a smug looking Hermione.

"But Hermione… We only have 10 more minutes before we need to go down to the dungeons, why don't you put your book down and snuggle with me?" Whined Draco.

"Fine, but only because you look so darn cute when you pout." Hermione closed her book and then gave Draco a sweet little kiss.

Their little kiss turned into much more as Draco begged for entrance with his tongue Hermione complied to his request quite willingly as her hands ran through his white-blonde hair.

Draco's hand slid under her shirt and softly massaged her back as their kiss deepened. Draco was about to slip off Hermione's shirt but she pulled away.

Hermione looked at Draco with sorry eyes, "Draco, that is to fast…"

Draco looked down at the floor before Hermione could see the shame in his eyes, "I'm sorry Hermione I never want to do anything to make you uncomfortable."

"No harm, no foul." Hermione leaned into Draco placing light kisses under his neck and then she looked over her shoulder to the clock on the wall in their mini kitchen.

"Oh crap! We've got to go! Class starts in five minutes!" She grabbed her book off of the table, shoved in her bag, threw on her now crumpled robe, and took Draco's hand and pulled him through the portrait.

Hermione and Draco burst through the Potions Room door a few minutes later and Snape looked up with an amused look on his face; "Miss. Granger, Mister Malfoy how kind of you to join us. Hermione I would like to be the first to congratulate you on your great fortune, Slytherin is lucky to have you." With this said he motioned to two empty seats at the front of the room and Hermione and Draco sat down but not before Hermione saw the hurt looks that played across Ron and Harry's faces.

Draco saw Hermione looking across the room at Ron and Harry as her face fell. Draco took Hermione's hand and gave her a comforting squeeze and he whispered in her ear, "It's okay my Mia. Remember the first day in the great hall when Ron got pissy with you? If they are truly your friends they will accept you over time."

Hermione squeezed back, "It's not that… It's just I'm ruining the golden trio and there is nothing I can do about it."

Draco saw a tear sparkle in Hermione's eye and he whipped it away with one gentle finger, "Look on the bright side Mia, you've still got me."

Hermione smiled brightly, "I love you Draco and thank-you."

Draco put his arm around Hermione's shoulder in a comforting manner and Snape who was making his way around the room smiled at this before he smacked both Ron and Harry in the back of their heads for talking.
