Chapter 10- Connection

When Draco awoke he was disoriented. His hand was in a bandage, how did that happen? Suddenly he remembered. Weasley, the fight, Hermione, Snape. He tore up the stairs to Hermione's room as quickly as he could.

She was sitting up in bed reading a book. She was pale am looked almost frail. She had a massive bruise on her forehead from where it hit the floor. 'Hi' she whispered 'Hi' he replied walking towards the bed. He stood awkwardly, suddenly feeling foolish for sprinting in like that. 'Draco…thank you' Hermione said after a long pause 'Nobody's ever stuck up for me like that before'. Draco glanced at her in shock, he guessed she was right, nobody had really defended her very well not even against him. God Potter was a fucking idiot. He suddenly had the strangest desire to kiss her. 'It was no problem, I always will…' He stuttered nervously. She smiled shyly at him, she saw his hand and gasped 'Draco what happened?' She asked clearly horrified. Draco looked at his injury, 'I'm not really sure, it happened while I was…well beating up the Weasel' he glanced at her face, she looked horrified and deathly pale 'but it's fine I swear! Snape fixed it straight away! I just can't use it for 24 hours that's all!' She was still pale 'Hermione are you all right?'. Hermione tried to get a grip on herself 'yeah…yeah I'm sorry I just…I can't believe your hurt!' She started to cry then, shaking sobs that echoed around the room.

Draco ran to her then, on impulse and held her in his arms. He made little hushing noises and tried to reason with her 'I'm fine Hermione I promise I am! It's ok, it's all going to be ok! My hand is fine is swear! Everyone was far more worried about you than my bloody hand!' She looked up at that 'why?' She breathed out 'because you hit your head? Do you not remember? Weasley tripped you and you hit your head! You went into complete shock, you were their while I got my hand fixed and everything! Blaise had to carry you up here! Snape gave you some potion which he said would fix any damage but you can have missed the massive bruise covering your forehead?' When she looked shocked he conjured a mirror for her and she gasped when she saw the huge purple lump. Draco was still staring at her and she turned to him. 'I really don't remember anything after I hit the floor' she whispered 'I thought I had fainted' he hugged her again after that 'it's ok Hermione it's ok, oh there is something else you need to know about last night' and he explained to her what he had told Snape.

At first Hermione was horrified but as Draco explained she calmed down and was even relieved. She was almost glad she had been basically unconscious or Snape may have asked her! She didn't know what she would have said! Without thinking she leaned up and gave Draco a brief kiss on the cheek. 'Thank you' she whisper clearly exhausted even though she had only been awake a few hours. 'It's ok' he whispered back rubbing his cheek in shock 'I…I…I'll leave you to get some rest' he managed to blurt out before leaving.

As he shut the door behind him he and Hermione both had the same thought, 'what just happened?!'

Blaise kept his promised to Snape and checked up on Draco and Hermione. He kept it brief though because he was shattered!

He was very relived when a seemingly fine Draco answered his knock on the portrait. He had been up half the night worried sick about his best friend. They sat down in the living room and Draco wasted no time in telling Blaise what had happen that morning.

'Wow' Blaise said at the end 'she kissed you?'

'On the cheek, Blaise!'

'But still…wow! So are you going to ask her out then? Draco spluttered at this question,

'WHAT?!'

'Oh come on mate! It's bloody obvious there is something going on between the two of you! Always has been if you ask me! All those steamy arguments, practically screaming with sexual tension!' Draco spluttered again 'oh I see, you doing that thing where you convince yourself you don't like her? Well Drake you can't do that to Hermione, the poor girl has been through enough shit without having to deal with a horny, frustrated and upset Draco Malfoy ok? If your going to fall for someone as damaged as her you need to be honest with yourself about the way you feel or your just going to wind up hurting her more'

Draco sat in shock, he knew what Blaise had said was true, but he honestly didn't know how he felt. There was a spark between them for sure, that much had been clear that morning but he was so confused. Fancying Hermione was against everything he had been taught as a child. But so was being her friend or helping her. His head was a mess.

Blaise could see the cogs turning in Draco's head and knew he had made an impact. He stood up and patted him on the shoulder 'just do what feels right mate, don't fight it' and with that he let himself out.

It was hours later and Draco was standing outside Hermione's room.

He had spent hours thinking about what Blaise had said to him and what had happened that morning. He had come to the conclusion that he did have feelings for Hermione, beyond friendship. It wasn't love yet, more like infatuation. He had decided he had to talk to her and find out how she felt.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. 'Come in!' A small voice called from within. He gathered up all of his courage and opened the door.

She looked better than she had that morning. She had clearly slept more and there was more colour in her face. 'Draco?' She said. Draco was sweating, his hands were shaking and he felt almost sick. 'Are you ok?' She asked, seeming genuinely concerned. He began to pace, letting the words fall out of his suddenly very dry mouth.

'Hermione listen, I need to talk to you. Ok wow so…shit. I like you ok? I know I kinda blurted that out from nowhere but…shit just listen. I was always taught that mud…muggleborns were animals. Just stupid filthy pathetic animals polluting our population and airspace. I was taught that it was not only my birthright but my duty as a pureblood to rid our population of these vile creatures. They told me it wasn't murder because they weren't human, it was more like extermination. But then I met you, and you contradicted everything I had ever been taught. You were… well are, above me in ever class we take together! Always have been! How does that make sense? If you're a stupid animal, how can you beat me in every class? You certainly not pathetic! You never backed down from a single fight. You always fought with such passion and intelligence, it was beautiful to watch. If you're a pathetic animal how can you be so witty, brave and passionate? And lastly you were never filthy, you always have been stunningly beautiful, more beautiful than any pureblood girl I've ever met! I think that's why I hated you so much because you confused me. But when Weasley did that this summer' he saw her immediately tense 'it almost broke the final barrier for me. How could something so human happen to an animal? How come I was disgusted and horrified by the the pureblood instead of muggleborn? Then as we became friends I realised I felt something much more for you. I couldn't identify what it was. Blaise practically forced me to come to my senses and now I have. Is there anyway you could feel the same way?'

At first she was shocked. Then she was amazed. The great Draco Malfoy, fancied her? Pathetic, self harming, idiot she was? She hadn't know what had come over her earlier. Suddenly she decided to stop, she threw away her inhibitions. She walked towards him slowly, on trembling legs. She wrapped his arms around his next and kissed him hard. It took a minute for Draco react because he was so shocked, but he immediately deepened the kiss. They made out for ages. Draco began to kiss her neck and she felt the weird sensation deepen in her stomach as she accidentally let out a moan. 'Draco…' She murmured breathlessly 'I…I…I've never done this before' he stopped immediately thinking she was rejecting him. 'No don't stop!' She almost yelled shocking even herself 'I just wanted to warn you… Just be gentle' Draco grinned at her 'I will princess, but are you sure you want this?' She nodded eagerly going in for another kiss 'I… I have to tell you something' he stuttered shakily pulling away. He lowered his sleeve to show her the dark mark. She gasped. 'He…he…he said he'd kill my mother Hermione' Draco cried and she was shocked to see his eyes fill with tears, nobody but Blaise and Severus new about this. 'He said he would rape and kill her right infront of me if I didn't, I had no choice! Please don't hate me! ' Hermione realised how upset he was and pulled him into a deep embrace. 'Draco' she said reassuringly 'I don't hate you. I could never hate you! You saved me! From myself and Ron! Do you have any idea how much that means? As for wanting this; I've never wanted anything more in my life'.

He began to kiss her neck and she moaned again. She began to grind her hips against his trousers looking for some friction to relieve the feeling in her stomach. The effect was instant and she gasped as she felt him harden against her. 'Oh, oh Draco' she moaned 'Draco…please!'

With her words Draco began passionately kissing her as he took off her clothes. Hoping to distract her. When he took of her top she pushed away to cover her forearms but Draco stopped her. He bent down and kissed every single one of her scars. 'Having these doesn't stop you from being beautiful Hermione' he said huskily 'they are just scars'. Hermione pulled off Draco's t-shirt and kissed his dark mark 'just like this Draco, this is just a scar'.

Draco hungrily unclipped her bra and took one of her nipples in his mouth. Moisture pooled Hermione's underwear, soaking them as she felt herself more aroused than she had ever been in her life. Draco was sporting a massive hard on and she could see the massive bulge through his jeans.

Both of them took off the rest of their clothes. Hermione gasped when she saw Draco's length. He was huge! Not only was he long but his cock was fat and veiny, she squirmed with arousal and her wetness begin to slide down her thighs.

Draco lay Hermione down and spread her legs. He wanted her to enjoy this, he wanted to watch her come undone on his tongue and fingers. He wanted her relaxed as well; he knew he was bigger than most men and girls, especially virgins, found it very hard to adjust to him.

He let out a moan when he saw how wet she was. Her clit was hard and almost pulsing with arousal. He began to lick and suck gently at her clit. Hermione moaned, she had never felt this good in her life. She gasped as she felt two fingers enter her and rub a certain point inside her. She felt the most amazing sensation and he rubbed and sucked on her clicked and pussy. Hermione immediately began to moan loader and undulate her hips. Within 5 minutes she felt this building up sensation 'oh my God Draco' she screamed 'I think I'm gunna…I'm gonna AHHHH DRACO BABY AHHH' suddenly the tension exploded and she felt her pussy clench and release as she writhed and screamed in ecstasy.. Draco licked up her juices in delight. It was delicious. God that made him so hard, watching her moan and shake. Draco's length was pulsing now and he was so hard it hurt. She looked up at him 'I need you inside of me' she whispered. 'Are you sure you want this babe?' He had to check, 'oh Draco I need this, please' she almost whimpered.

Draco quickly did the contraceptive charm and positioned himself 'bite down on my shoulder when it hurts ok?' She nodded. He slowly, administering massive self control, glided into her tight, soaking pussy. When he reached her barrier he pause, 'Are you sure you want this Hermione?' He said seriously looking deep into her eyes. 'I've never been so sure of anything in my life Draco' she panted. He thrust hard and felt her barrier break as she bit into his shoulder. He stayed still for a while to give her amount to adjust and then slowly began to push in and out of her. The feeling of her tight, silky pussy around his iron hard cock was almost to much to bere and he had to think of his mother in the shower to stop himself coming straight away. 'Draco oh baby' she moaned 'you feel so good, your so fucking big!' She had never felt anything like this in her life. He was so big and hit all of the walls of her pussy as she moaned and writhed. She felt tension building quickly in her lower abdomen and knew she wasn't far from release. All of a sudden he reached down and began to rub her clit in time with his thrusts. The effect was instant and she screamed and writhed almost immediately in orgasm. Draco moaned as he felt his cock being milked. He flipped her over onto her front. 'Why did you do that?' She asked breathlessly 'you'll see' he replied.

Hermione felt him deeper inside of her, hitting points she didn't no existed! She began morning and screaming. After a while her arousal took a turn that initially scared her. 'Draco' she panted 'we need to stop I'm gonna pee!'. He just chuckled 'no you aren't baby don't worry!'.

Draco realised he wasn't going to hold out much longer, her pussy was so tight and velvety, he felt like he was in heaven! 'Are you gonna cum babe?' He said reaching down to rub her clit again. 'Yes baby oh fuck yes oh oh oh ohhhhhh!' Suddenly the dam burst and she felt herself cum harder than ever before, all she saw was white for a couple seconds as the power of the immense orgasm over took her. As Draco felt Hermione squirt on his dick he couldn't hold off any longer, he moaned 'oh Hermione baby, your pussy is so fucking good, I'm gonna fucking cum oh God!' He shot his load into her cumming harder than he ever had in his life! They both screamed and moaned until finally they both collapsed into each other.

After they had both calmed from their amazing heights he slowly pulled out of her and held her in his arms.

'Hermione' he murmur breathlessly 'Will you be my girlfriend?'. She was completely silent for a moment. Just as Draco was about to say he had been kidding and go and except his rejection, she climbed onto his chest. 'I would love to' she said tears shining in her eyes as she kissed him deeply.

Hope that was better! This chapter is really long now! Oh well! Next chapter has Harry and much more dramione! I love nervous Draco! Isn't he cute! Love you all! :)
