Chapter 10
I miss Hermione. I knew that it would be hard to get used to being by myself in the house all day, but I didn't think I'd wake up and want to go back to bed until I know I'll get to see her again. I didn't think I would end up attached to her. But I have spent the last like two months following her and getting to know what her life is like. She isn't the prissy know-it-all I thought she was. I don't know if she is going to follow through on everything she said the last two days she was home, I don't know if she will even be able to talk the Weasleys' into letting me come out there. And what would I do if she did? She isn't what I expected Hermione to be. She can be so innocent and so mischievous at the same time, and she never makes a move with out knowing her next three moves. It's like she lives on a chess board, and were all pieces of her game. Draco thought as he watched the sun come up over the tree tops, his bedroom window has a beautiful view of the garden in the backyard. He was thinking back over the last couple days Hermione was home.

Draco Flooed to Hermione's parents house around 9 am, he had sent his eagle owl to see if she was awake and ready for visitors, she said she was. As soon as he stepped out of the fireplace he noticed Hermione had music playing. It was playing through out the house, coming from upstairs.
"Hermione! I'm here! Where are you?" Draco called out. Hermione wasn't in the kitchen and the back door was still locked so he figured she wasn't outside. So he made his way up the stairs. The music got louder as he came to a door that was cracked open. He knocked on the door and it came open a little he noticed that it was the bathroom. It was steamy and the mirror was foggy.
"Hermione? Are you in there?" Draco called. Hermione walked out of her room in just a towel with her hair wrapped in a towel. She walked up quietly behind him.
"Yes Draco?" She whispered in his ear. He jumped and turned around. Hermione giggled as he cursed. It took him only a moment to realize that she wasn't dressed.
"Y-Your naked." He stuttered as he took in her appearance. Hermione looked down and then back at Draco.
"No, I'm not. I have a towel on." Hermione teased. Draco laughed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that towels were the latest fashion." Draco said as he spun her around. "I must say you do look stunning. You will have men falling all over themselves to know you." He stated as she giggled and went into the bathroom again. Draco stopped at the doorway.
"Well I do plan to have my complete 180 fully accomplished in the next couple days. I just have a thing or two more to do, which I plan to do today. And I'm about to get dressed so if you don't want to watch the show I suggest that you turn around or close the door." Hermione said as she grabbed the clothes she brought to change into and looked into the mirror. Draco looked her up and down and smirked.
"I should probably close the door. I know this, but I am finding it very hard to make myself." Draco said looking at Hermione as she washed her face.
"Well you have two minutes to decide, other wise I am just going to get dressed. It doesn't bother me either way. I am trying to make sure I don't offend your moral compass." Hermione said and Draco looked at her disbelieving. She looked him up and down and shrugged.
"I don't think your that brave. I think your going to come close the door for me if I don't do so myself." Draco said simply. Hermione looked at him and laughed.
"Are you challenging me? I'm not bashful darling." Hermione said as she threw her head forward to dry her hair. Draco chuckled.
"Darling? I get pet names too now? How sweet, and yes I am challenging you. How much of your modesty is true." Draco smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Well most of it is true. If you were, say, Ron or one of the twins I wouldn't have even let you see me in a towel. But seeing as how you're not, I'm not worried about what you might see. Which is why I gave you warning, in case your modesty or sheer lack of interest has you wanting to close the door. And by the way, you have fifteen seconds to decide before I just go ahead and get dressed." Hermione said and started running the towel from her hair over her legs and arms. Draco stood tapping his chin.
"Would you like help with that love?" He asked and stepped over the threshold of the door. Hermione smiled and winked.
"Oh so not only are you not closing the door, but you're invading the bathroom too? Daring baby, very daring." Hermione said and extended the towel for him to grab. He grabbed it and started working on her still slightly dripping hair.
"No baby, I'm not invading, I'm helping. You missed some, and you can't put dry clothes on a wet body. You're not protesting, and I'm definitely interested so I'm not passing up an opportunity to discover the wonders that lie beneath that towel. I promise not to touch though, unless invited." Draco said as he finished drying her hair. Hermione stepped aside and grabbed her underwear and bra and dropped her towel. Draco gasped as he saw the towel fall.
"Well I guess you'd better get a good look then. It doesn't take me long to get my clothes on." Hermione said and pulled on her underwear. Draco watched interestedly.
"Rest assured baby, I am definitely getting a good look. And I'm crossing my fingers that whatever you're putting on his zippers or buttons you need help with." He said as she put on her bra.
"Would you be so kind as to put the clasp on the middle? I mean if you're offering I might as well take advantage." Hermione smirked and Draco took the ends of the bra and pulled them together running his knuckles over the soft skin on her back as he brought them to a close.
"You have such soft skin. This definitely shatters your illusion of being untouchable." Draco said as she unfolded a pair of long dark washed jeans with thick white stitching and some clever fading on the thighs and near the ankles. She slid them up over her legs and shimmed them over her hips and buttoned them. Draco watched with his mouth watering.
"Illusion of being untouchable? Are you trying to say that I looked like a dried up scaly hag? I'll have you know I use moisturizer twice a day, and I shave every two days. I am not some gross hag who doesn't care about her body." Hermione said and Draco looked at her questioningly.
"I didn't mean you looked like no one would want to touch you, I promise you. I meant that you looked like no one would be lucky enough to touch you. I was just pointing out that I had shattered that illusion because you let me touch you, and I very much want to keep touching you because your so soft, and warm, and inviting." Draco said and Hermione watched him in the mirror and saw the sincerity in his eyes.
"You really think I look like I don't want anyone to touch me? I have been dying for someone to notice I'm a girl and want to touch me. I have just gotten used to being one of the guys, hell even Victor didn't seem interested in touching me." Hermione said as she pulled out a satin chemise that was lace across the top and pulled it over her head. Draco automatically helped to slide it down into place.
"Krum looked like he was having a good time pawing you at the Ball. He even grabbed a handful of your bottom when you two dipped out early. Not that I was watching." Draco said in a disbelieving tone. Hermione looked at him perplexed.
"He wasn't pawing me because he was interested. He was pawing me to get a rise out of Harry. He wanted to be there with Harry, but McGonagall had told them they could not come to the Ball paired up with each other. He talked about Harry all night and was devastated when I couldn't tell him what having sex with Harry was like. He thought, like most everyone else that since Harry and I are so close that we were sleeping together. Well we weren't , I didn't tell him about Harry and I messing around of course then he would have never left me alone." Hermione said and Draco looked at her like she had grown two heads.
"What do you mean messing around? And if he wasn't interested why did you leave early with him?" Draco had spun Hermione around and was buttoning the blouse she pulled on a moment before.
Hermione giggled at the look on his face when he finished buttoning and looked her in the eyes. Draco stared into her eyes for a moment before looking her up and down.
"Harry and I have snogged a few times, and of course did some touching and a little more. Ron absolutely can not find out about that either, which is why only myself and Harry and now you know about it. Ron tends to fly off the handle, and we don't want the whole school, neigh the whole world to know. And I left and went to a party back on their ship and got a bit intoxicated and can't recall what all happened." Hermione said and Draco's jaw hit the floor.
"You little vixen. I would have never guessed. I figured Harry to be too bumbling to get past the awkward kisses stage. What can you recall happening that night?" Draco looked at her like he was seeing her for the first time. She turned and grabbed a brush.
"Don't go judging me. I know your not exactly the picture of innocence either." Hermione said waving the brush at him threateningly. Draco smirked.
"If your asking for confirmation, no I am not a virgin. But contrary to popular belief I wasn't getting on top of any girl who'd have me. Actually, I have only had sex with a female twice, and both times I was trashed. Pansy can be very convincing to a hormonally charged drunk boy. And I can't really recall anything that happened, I just know it happened." Draco said and indicated that since he had shared his story it was her turn to share. Hermione looked at him in pity and then her eyes sharpened.
"Only had sex with a female twice, how many times have you had sex with a male then?" Hermione asked and Draco smirked a little even though he was slightly blushing.
"Caught that did you? Well I guess if you really want to know. I'd have to guess maybe ten times." Draco said and it was Hermione's turn to have her jaw hit the floor.
"Oh wow. I'm going to guess it was Basil? So does that mean you prefer men?" Hermione's eye were huge and some how calculating as thoughts raced through her mind.
"Yes, it was. And no I don't prefer men, I'm bi sexual and I just happened to have a relationship with a male that became sexual before finding a woman I wanted to be in a sexual relationship with." Draco answered and looked very pointed at Hermione who looked back at him in the mirror as she was doing her makeup.
"Okay. I get it, my turn to share. I went to the party with Victor, and he introduced me to the guys who did the fire magic during their entrance because I had mentioned that I would love to learn about it. And Demitri, the one I ended up talking to about it all and then later partying with, had me trying every different type of alcohol they had. Some of it was good, some of it was horrible. And before I knew it I was drunk. I ended up waking up next to him the next morning. I assume I had fun since I was walking funny for a couple hours. And he wasn't nearly as drunk as I was and assured me that I enjoyed myself. But he could have been just telling me that." Hermione said and turned to looked Draco up and down.
"What a lucky man, though I think I'd rather have you sober, so you can remember the whole experience. I want you to be able to say that you enjoyed it and know that you aren't just guessing." Draco said and put his hands on her hips.
"Oh you would, would you? Well that's quite a bit harder to accomplish I assure you, no one has managed to yet." Hermione said as she looked up into his eyes and stepped back. Draco let her move though he didn't want to. Hermione turned back to the mirror and finished her make up.
"If it means anything to you though, I wouldn't mind showing how much fun a woman can be since you don't really have any working knowledge, and I'm sure its a lot different than another man." Hermione said in his ear as she walked past and into the hallway. Draco froze and his heart started racing. Hermione looked back briefly as she turned the light off and then went back to her room. Draco stood there a moment and then followed her.
"Hermione. Please don't tease me. It really isn't nice." Draco said as he came through the door of her room. Hermione was at her desk putting stuff into her purse and taking out what she wouldn't need.
"Draco. I'm not teasing. And I never claimed to be nice. Everyone always assumes that I intend to be nice, oh how wrong they are." Hermione said as she looked him over and appraised what he was wearing.
"Do you always dress this way, or is this just all that you have?" Hermione asked as she looked him up and down. He was wearing an emerald green silk button down shirt and black slacks and shiny black dress shoes.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" Draco asked and looked himself over. Hermione smiled and shook her head.
"Nothing is wrong with it, it is just a bit stiff and can be intimidating to people. Don't you ever just wear jeans and a tee-shirt?" Hermione asked. Draco shook his head in exasperation.
"No I don't even own jeans or tee-shirts. I dress this way because it shows that I come from power, my parents wanted to flaunt their money and power in every way they could. Even my play clothes were made from the finest cloth and in the most popular designs. I don't know anything about casual clothes. Nor do I know where I would go to find them." Draco said and looked a bit ashamed.
"Awe don't worry baby, I'll help you. It's really not that difficult, and you can even keep all your expensive stuff too, so that you have options and can properly intimidate people when it's called for." Getting up and heading toward the door Hermione slipped her hand into Draco's and led him down stairs. There was a tingling feeling and they both looked at their hands. There was green and red wisps wrapping around their hands.
"What just happened?" Hermione asked, though she didn't take her hand away. The tingling sensation was still there.
"That is generally the product of a bonding spell. But I don't think it was, I can't hear your thoughts or anything. I'm really not sure. Whatever it was felt amazing though." Draco said and looked at their hands again, and then at the bulge in his trousers. Hermione giggled.
"Oh wow, I'd definitely say that it felt nice. Obviously it wasn't a marriage bond, thankfully. But I do believe it was some kind of bonding, though it had to be an innate magic or something because there was no cast magics. I hope this doesn't cause problems. I'll research it as soon as I can." Hermione said started taking mental notes.
"Well so that you can get a proper explanation I'll help you. That way I know fully whats going on too. And if I get to keep you forever, well then I guess the powers that be are merciful after all." Draco and Hermione continued down stairs and out side. Hermione locked her door and took off down the street heading for the shops they were at the other day. Draco looked around her neighborhood and took in the mixture of old and new houses and peacefulness that it exuded. He was sure that he wanted to live somewhere like this when he could finally move out on his own. This lifestyle couldn't solely belong to the muggles. He stopped with Hermione at a corner and watched as she waited for passing traffic to come to a stop before crossing in front of them. He looked back and saw them start going again.
I wonder what that magic was, no one has contacted us yet, so it must not have set off the trace on underage magic. Hermione's acting so different today, I can't say that I didn't enjoy the view earlier. But what is she plotting, I know I saw a plan fall into place behind her eyes. I almost want to ask. Especially since that happened after I told her about Basil and everything. But if I ask, she may push me away. But I only have today and tomorrow with her before she leaves for the Weasley's, then I'll be stuck back in that dusty old house with Sirius and that creepy little house elf. Maybe I can convince her to come see me at the headquarters before school starts.
"Draco are you hungry? We could stop for lunch if you like." Hermione looked at him indicated the cafe they had ate at the other day.
"I could go for a hamburger." He answered and they headed inside. "I am buying this time, love." He said as they went to the back booth. Hermione smiled at him innocently.
"Does it bother you that bad to let me pay for things? Being my friend means letting me do things for you, and you can always repay me later, when we get home." Hermione said and winked at him.
"Repay you? I might like the sound of that. As long as I'm working it off and working us both into a sweat at the same time." He replied with a wink. Hermione raised and eyebrow and licked her lips.
"I think that sounds fair. I guess we can work out something along those lines. But that is going to have to work both ways. You buy me something and I expect to have to repay you. The only times that doesn't count is birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries." Hermione didn't let him see her notice the look of surprise that was on his face when she said that last word.
"Sounds fair. So when do we get to start implementing this system?" He asked with excitement in his eyes. Hermione giggled at his enthusiasm.
"When we get to school. Which reminds me. I know this school year is going to be tough, and you aren't going to be safe in Slytherin. So I have devised a way to keep you in school and safe. It might not be how you want to spend your time, but I think it's the best idea at this point." Hermione stated and Draco turned his full attention to her face.
"I doubt I could live in Griffindor Hermione. All those lions, and me just a lonely little snake. They might fear for their lives, unnecessarily mind you. And it would cause a lot of complaints." Draco said though he really didn't want to have to stay in Slytherin.
"No, no. Griffindor wouldn't work. I didn't even seriously contemplate that. Especially since you couldn't go near my dorm, even if you really needed me. So I got to thinking and remembered something I read in a book about Hogwarts that I came across in second year when I was trying to find the chamber of secrets. Hogwarts has another set of dorms. They are in the North Tower. Yes that's where the Headmaster's tower is, but you didn't honestly think it was only ever used for that did you? No, it was the dorms they put the competing schools in during the Triwizard Tournament a few centuries ago. They stopped using it because the other schools start bringing more students and they couldn't house them all. But they are supposed to be still live able, and even if not the house elves could fix them up pretty quick. Then we could use those dorms and you wouldn't have to worry about it." Hermione said in a quiet voice so that only Draco could hear her. Draco thought on it for a moment.
"Hermione you are absolutely brilliant do you know that?" Draco asked excitedly. Hermione smiled and nodded.
"I have been told that a time or two. I plan to talk to Dumbledore as soon as I get a chance, he usually comes to the burrow to debrief everyone a couple of times before school starts. Unless you have access to him before then and want to run it past him. But if you do, let him know I still need to discuss it with him because there are a few ideas floating around in my head that he might be able to help me with." Hermione said and Draco nodded.
"I'm going to miss you, you know that don't you. I haven't had this much fun in a very long time it seems. I wish there was a way I could see you before school starts, a month is a long time to wait." Draco said as the waitress came to the table to get their order.
"What can I get for you guys today?" Draco didn't even look up at her, he could tell by her voice it was the same lady as the other day.
"We would like two cokes, a Bacon Cheese Burger cut in half, and a large order of fries. Thank you." Draco said and Hermione smiled at the waitress who paid her no mind as she stared at Draco's profile. She stood there a moment longer and then headed to the kitchen.
"I think you hurt her feelings love, she was hoping to impress you I think with her low cut shirt and over done makeup. She didn't even look at me the whole time she was standing here." Hermione said trying to keep a straight face. Draco smiled at her.
"Then lets really give her a reason to be upset." He said and leaned in to kiss her. Hermione hesitated a second and then leaned in as well. She was reveling in the softness of his lips when someone cleared their throat.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but aren't you Hermione Granger?" A muscular brunette boy asked. Hermione and Draco were both looking him over carefully.
"Who are you?" She asked, she didn't recognize him from anywhere.
"My name is Kyle Hackson. We were in elementary school together, we always stood next to each other in line. Victoria Le'marq said she saw you the other day, and some other things that you would expect to hear out of her mouth. But anyways my point is that I wanted to thank you for all the help you gave me, I wouldn't have ever learned math if you hadn't tutored me. Oh and you look amazing, I always thought you were pretty, but now you blow that out of the water." Kyle said looking her up and down. Hermione thought a moment and smiled.
"Of course! You look great too, and I told you the braces would help in the long run. And you don't have to thank me, I love to help people learn. It's just nice to know you remembered that. Oh I'm sorry I'm being rude. Kyle this is my boyfriend Draco. Draco this is Kyle." Hermione introduced them and Kyle extended his hand. Draco shook his hand politely.
"Nice to meet you Draco. Well I'll let you guys get back to your lunch. Take care Hermione." Kyle said and walked back over to the table where Kyle and three other guys were sitting.
Draco looked over there and then back to Hermione. The waitress brought over their food and sat it in front of Draco.
"Can I get you anything else?" She asked him. Draco looked up and then over at Hermione.
"Yes. Another plate, some ranch to dip our fries in and some more coke. If you don't mind." Hermione said and the waitress looked at her in disdain.
"Of course." She said as she turned to walk away. Draco noticed how her attitude changed so abruptly and smiled at Hermione.
"I think she is really jealous." He said in a laugh. Hermione nodded. They ate quickly and headed off to do whatever Hermione had in mind.
XxXxXxX
"Here Draco, what do you think of this?" Hermione said holding up a black shirt with red designs on the front. Draco looked it over and smiled.
"I don't know, I think it would be best if you tried it on, so I can see what it looks like on you." He answered. That had become his go to answer for anything that wasn't either skimpy or green.
"Okay love, then I think I should go to the fitting rooms. I have about ten things to try on." Hermione said as she headed across the isle to the fitting rooms. Draco followed behind watching Hermione's hips switch as she walked.
"Hello I'd like to try some things on." Hermione greeted the lady at the desk in front of the fitting room entrance.
"Okay how many items are you trying on?" The lady whose name tag read Sarah asked.
Hermione quickly counted the items again and the lady gave her a card with the number ten on it and took her back to an empty stall.
"Is she your sister or cousin or something?" Sarah asked Draco after a moment of watching him look through the clothes racks nearest to her. Draco looked up quickly.
"No, definitely not. She's my best friend." Draco answered her with a look that was almost a glare. Sarah looked at him for a moment and then sighed.
"Why are all the hottest guys taken or gay?" She asked but didn't sound like she was expecting him to answer or even hear her.
"You think I'm gay? What in the name of Merlin's beard makes you think that?" He asked in scornfully. Sarah looked at him in question for a moment and then smiled.
"Well you are dressed in a collared shirt, slacks, and dress shoes. Your hands are perfectly manicured and your hair is incredibly well taken care of. And your clothes shopping with your best friend who is a woman, and you don't look bored or miserable. And your going through those clothes in a way that screams you know what you're looking at and what you're looking for. Most all straight guys would be unable to do even one of those things." She answered in a placid tone. Draco thought it over and looked at her with a smirk.
"No, I'm not gay. I just like to look and feel my best, and know how to accomplish it. And I could never be bored when I'm with Hermione, she is one of the most fascinating and entertaining people I have ever had the pleasure to get to know. And you don't have to be gay to know which clothes are made to fit a certain way and which fit would look best on someone. That just takes paying attention to complementary colors and shapes and fabrics. I have spent many hours looking at Hermione so I can guess pretty well what will and what wont work for her." Draco said as he sat a shirt back on the rack after inspecting it.
"Why aren't you with her? You seem to think a lot of her, so why is she just your best friend and not your girl friend? I mean I could understand if you couldn't see past the fact that she isn't really very pretty, sometimes that's the deal breaker for a lot of guys." Sarah said and flipped her long blonde hair back over her shoulder. Draco frowned.
"Hermione is the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. I would take her in a heartbeat if she would have me. And your wrong, I don't just think a lot of her, I think the world of that woman." Draco said and he noticed Hermione standing in the door way in one of the outfits they picked out. She had on a gray long sleeved shirt that had the shoulders taken out and a red pencil skirt and a gold sash on her hips.
"That outfit looks amazing love. A good pair of heels and you could wear that anywhere and everyone would stop and stare." Draco said no longer even acknowledging the other woman was there. Hermione looked at him questioningly for a moment and he motioned for her to turn around so he could see the rest of her. She turned slowly and Draco whistled low.
"Lets see another one love, better yet lets just buy them all and you can model them at home for me." Draco said and winked. Hermione giggled and walked back to the changing room.
"What's wrong with that girl, I'd be all over you in a second if you were to be a fraction of that inviting to me! Is she blind?" Sarah asked him as he went back to the clothes racks to occupy his time while waiting on Hermione to come back out.
"Lucky for me, I wouldn't invite you in any way shape or form. I would hate to have to disappoint you." Draco said in a mocking tone that Sarah didn't catch.
"I doubt highly that you could disappoint me. And I'm positive that I could show you a great time." Sarah said in a saucy tone. Draco gagged, but she didn't notice that either.
"I'd disappoint you, because I don't like easy girls, and I don't have sex with anything willing to drop their knickers for any good looking bloke that shows interest. And just to make sure you understand, your not my type, I'm not interested, and it will never happen." Draco said in a flat though not unkind tone. Sarah looked at him in shock.
"Draco, love. There's no need to insult the poor girl. You have to understand that she isn't used to not being the center of attention, there are a lot of girls like her around. Anyways how does this outfit look?" Hermione said from the door way, Sarah looked at Hermione and wasn't sure whether or not she should be insulted by what Hermione said.
"Yeah I suppose your right. That outfit is definitely you. I like the way the shirt hugs your curves. And those jeans make your ass look great as well as making your legs look longer. And the fact that the shirt is green makes it all the better!" He said and wiped his mouth to make sure he wasn't drooling.
Hermione spun once before heading back into the changing room. She tried on the rest of the outfits and found only one shirt that she had didn't fit the way she wanted it too. She bought the clothes and headed for the next department store.
"What are we getting here? You said you got all the clothes you needed. Unless we are going to buy you bra's and panties. You could model those for me as well. I promise to keep a handkerchief so I don't get drool all over the floor. And I wont make cat calls either." Draco said in a mock pleading voice. Hermione smirked.
"I don't need any more bra's or underwear. And I wouldn't be able to model them for you here anyways. What were here for is to get you some jeans and tee-shirts, and maybe so other stuff too." Hermione looked at Draco's surprised look and grabbed his hand.
"Your turn to model for me love. Come lets find some clothes for you." Hermione drug him towards some manikins in what Draco assumed was men clothes. He looked at the different racks of clothes and watched Hermione look from one pair of jeans to the next before finding ones that she liked and handing them to Draco.
"What should I be looking for baby?" Draco asked as Hermione looked at more jeans.
"Well since your kind of pale, you don't want anything too dark or it will wash you out, and you don't want anything too light because it wont blend well. So I'm looking for medium dark washed jeans, and I know it may just be my opinion but since you're used to wearing slacks all the time, I think you'd be most comfortable in relaxed fit jeans. They wont hug to closely to your crotch or be tight on your legs." Hermione said in a matter of fact tone. Draco looked at some of the manikins and saw they were wearing tight fitting jeans and shirts that clung to them. He looked down at his clothes, they weren't baggy or too loose but they weren't skin tight either.
"I think your right love, I don't want my clothes to be painted on. Lead on then, show me what to get." He said as she handed him another pair of jeans, slightly lighter in color then the first ones. She found him four pairs of jeans and a pair of sweat pants, which she said would be great for winter and for working out in. Then they made their way into the shirts area. Draco was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of different shirts that surrounded him. And he had thought that the women's section had a lot of choices, that was nothing on this.
"Okay Draco, I think we're going to have to find a handful of shirts you would be comfortable wearing, and have you try them on. I also think you should look for things in colors other then green and black. Your wardrobe has more then enough Slytherin pride." Hermione said and grinned. Draco looked at her smugly.
"Okay Princess, I'll do like you. Out of the five shirts you got three of them were some shade of red. So I'll find two shirts that aren't green or black and the rest can be whatever color I want." Draco said and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Fine then but you have to get at least one red shirt. I got a green one." Hermione said and Draco nodded. He then set off among the many racks to find shirts that stood out to him. He found a black and red plaid button up short sleeved shirt, a maroon polo shirt, a white v neck tee-shirt to go under the button up, a black tee-shirt with green wording that said 'With these looks who needs money?', and a white shirt with black lettering that said 'Giving up on humanity, one person at a time'. Hermione had him a couple of shirts that looked like the skin tight ones the manikins wearing.
"Hermione are you sure those shirts will be comfortable? They look like they fit pretty snugly." Draco said letting her inspect the shirts he picked out. She laughed when she read the two with writing on them.
"I figured you could try them on, they are muscle shirts, they cling to show off muscle definition, and are good for when your working out or running and things like that." She replied and led him to the dressing room.
"I'll be right out here. Come show me what they look like." Hermione said and sat in a chair that was out in front of the fitting rooms. Draco noticed the lack of attendant and was some what grateful that there wasn't one. He got out of his clothes and started slipping on the jeans. They were comfortable, even more then his satin lined slacks. They were lose but he enjoyed the extra space they gave him move around and they fit to where they would hang off his hips without the need of a belt to hold them up. He decided to try on one of the muscle shirts first, just to get it out of the way. Once he had it pulled down over his head and smoothed out he looked in the mirror. Every detail of his well muscled torso was shown and the fabric felt smooth against his skin. He walked out to show Hermione and caught a glance in the 360 mirror at the end of the hall. He could see himself from every angle and decided that he liked what he saw.
"What do you think love? Does it work for me?" He asked as Hermione looked at him speechless. She nodded and he turned to head back into his stall.
"Okay, I'll be back in a moment." He said as he walked away. Hermione watched him walk and had to wipe drool off her chin.
Draco then tried on his other shirts and went out in the button down with the white v-neck underneath.
"Okay Draco I think we have established that you look absolutely amazing in everything. So lets go pay and get going." Hermione said since she was having trouble keeping her mind off seeing how gorgeous he is without his clothes on.
Draco picked up on her line of thought though and smirked, "I assure you that I look even better with everything off. And you're welcome to find out when ever you like." Hermione blushed and shook her head to try to clear the images from her mind.
"If you don't agree, I'd love the chance to change your mind." Draco said mistaking her head shaking for disagreement.
Hermione giggled and blushed harder. "How do you plan to do that? Not that I actually disagree, but now I'm intrigued."
"Come to my house with me, I'll show you." He said and winked at her.
"Don't tempt me." She said smiling and with a daring glint in her eyes.
"Oh? I think tempting you sounds like such a great idea. I promise it will be an unforgettable experience that will leave u weak kneed and shaking with pleasure." Draco said licking his lips and looking her up and down.
"Go get changed so we can pay and get on with our day. We have quite a few things to accomplish still today." Hermione said as she very plainly undressed him with her eyes. He gave her an enticing grin and went back to his stall. He shed the new clothes quickly and put his back on. Upon exiting the room he checked that his hair was still fixed and that his clothes were neat. Hermione was waiting with her back to him as he came out of the fitting rooms.
"Hermione, you ready to go?" He asked as he came up next to her, she looked at him with a grin and set off to the register to pay. She insisted on paying for his clothes, said he could pay her back later with wink and the cashier took her money and returned her change. They set off toward Hermione's house.
"Love, am I reading too much into this? You weren't serious were you?" Draco asked after a few moments. Hermione looked at him for a full minute before responding.
"If you were joking then so was I." She said in a non-committal tone. He wasn't sure what to say to that. He wasn't joking but he didn't think she would take him seriously or that she would go for it if she did. He was at a complete loss.
"Well, I wasn't joking but I don't want you to do anything that you that you aren't ready for. I didn't think you would take me seriously." He finally said and Hermione looked over at him.
"I'm not really the kind of girl that drops her knickers for any good looking bloke that shows interest you know, unless of course you would rather wait. I don't want to make you do anything you're not ready for." Hermione said and smiled. She didn't know how hard she was making it for Draco to be a 'good guy'.
"Listen Hermione, it's not that I don't want to take you home right now and get as deep inside you as I possibly can, it's that I think maybe we should wait to do that until we are actually together and have been for a while. I want to be with you, not just on top of you. You're too important to me to just be a casual shag. I want more than that, and I think you do too." Draco said grabbing her hand and making her stop and look at him. Hermione looked thoughtful for a moment.
"So you want to be with me, to be my boyfriend? For real, not just saying that like we have been to the kids from London Tech?" Hermione asked in a tone that he knew meant there was something more to the question than what she asked.
"Yes Hermione. I want to be with you. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that." He said and she smiled.
"All I require is for you to be open minded and willing to try anything once. So I want you to think of anything and everything that you absolutely are not willing to do, so that I know where your limits are, and if we will make a good match." She said and Draco raised an eyebrow.
"Hermione, what do you have going through that brilliant little head of yours this time? Is it something that I'm not going to like?" Draco asked and Hermione shrugged. That was never a good sign.
Hermione started walking again and Draco followed. "Really love, tell me. I promise to be open minded. Or I can guess and you can tell me when I'm getting close." He said in an almost begging tone.
"I'll tell you what Draco. I'll give you one detail. It is going to have something to do with occupancy of our dorm. And I don't even know if everything will work out yet, so I'm not going to say more until I talk to Dumbledore. So after I run the dorm idea by him, I'll run this one by him too. If he thinks it's a good idea. Then I will tell you. But I am holding you to your promise of being open minded." Hermione said and looked Draco directly in the eye. He looked back in hers and saw excitement and hope. He would do anything to keep those things in her eyes whenever she was looking at him. Anything, no matter what idea she came up with. She was worth more than any dignity or pride or reputation could ever be.
When did I start feeling so strong for Hermione Granger? Am I in over my head? I know she still has feelings for Potter. That much is evident just in the way she says his name. Come to think of it, I bet this has something to do with Potter. Well, I guess whatever it is I will do my best to do it and be happy to have the chance. It's a chance I don't deserve. I wonder if he feels the same way about her? Draco thought to himself as theymade it to Hermione's front door. She unlocked it and they walked inside. Hermione called out to see if her parents were home and received no answer. There was a note on the refrigerator thing that said they were out to dinner with one of their colleges and then to a movie. They said for them to be good, and not make any ill thought out decisions in their absence. Draco laughed.
(Eplict content follows.)
"Well there goes our plans for unprotected wild sex. Perhaps if we do it another way it wont fall under the 'ill thought out' category. Are you any good with your mouth love? Other than kissing because you're an amazing kisser." Draco teased. Hermione ran her tongue along the inside of her cheek.
"Harry thinks so. But his opinion is biased, I'm the only one who has ever done anything with him. So why don't you tell me?" She answered. Draco looked her over again.
"Sounds like a plan. Especially if it means I get to kiss you some more." Draco said and Hermione grabbed his hand and lead him to her bedroom.
"I'm sure that can be arranged." Hermione said and opened her bedroom door. As soon as they were through the door Draco closed it behind them and closed the distance between himself and Hermione. His lips came down on hers eagerly on hers and they kissed passionately. Hermione guided Draco toward the bed without breaking the kiss.
"You are a bloody amazing kisser, so you know." Draco said barely taking his lips from hers. Hermione smiled and put her hands on his waist.
"So are you. I wonder if you taste as good as you kiss." She asked as she pulled his shirt untucked. She kissed him from his mouth to the collar of his shirt and moved to unbutton his shirt.
"Mind if I move this out of the way?" She asked and tugged gently on the silk shirt. Draco smirked.
"Not at all. Why on earth would I deny that beautiful mouth of yours access? I'm dying to feel it all over my body." He whispered in her ear. Hermione shivered and started slowly unbuttoning his shirt. As it was unbuttoned she kissed the newly exposed skin. Kissing and tasting as she went she made her way to his belt. Stopping to look up for permission Hermione gazed into Draco's heavily lidded eyes.
"Can I?" She asked innocently. Draco moaned just at the sight of her on her knees in front of him.
"Yes, love. Please." Draco said and he felt her small hands tug his belt open and undo the button and zipper of his trousers. Straining against his pants he was so hard that it was almost painful.
"You definitely don't lack enthusiasm, and I don't know if anyone has ever told you this but you have a rather large penis." Hermione said as she stroked it up and down. He moaned and grabbed hold of her hair. She stroked his velvety soft penis in quick short strokes and then teased the tip with her tongue. She put a hand on his chest and gently pushed back wards until he was sitting on her bed. She then continued to lick him from the bottom of his shaft to the tip of his head still stroking lightly.
"Oh love, that feels so good. How many times did you say you've done this?" Draco asked as Hermione found a sensitive spot and flicked her tongue back and forth on it.
"I didn't. But probably a dozen or so. I take it that your going to want this to be more then a one time deal?" Hermione asked and then took him into her mouth. She couldn't fit it all in her mouth so she continued to stroke from the base up to her mouth as she moved up and down his length.
"Oh gods yes! Hermione!" He moaned a little loudly. Hermione hummed in agreement. After a few more minutes of sucking and thrusting and stroking and a little nibbling Draco finally hit his breaking point.
"Baby I'm about to cum. Oh gods!" Draco moaned as Hermione took him deeper into her throat then she had before, and he came down her throat. She swallowed and sucked gently and he moaned again.
"You like that baby?" Hermione said as she released him and wiped her mouth. Draco fell backwards on her bed. Hermione giggled.
"No, I loved every second. That was the most blissful thing I have ever felt. How does Potter go without?" Draco asked seriously questioning Potter's sanity.
(End Explict content.)
"He doesn't for long. He goes for a while and thinks that he can find a girlfriend that will do that for him, but then he doesn't and he builds up so much tension that it takes half as long as it did for you before he's finished. I only recently became an option for being his girlfriend. I guess he thought that Ron and I were going to end up together." Hermione said laying next to Draco on her bed. Draco looked up at her for a moment.
"So what are you going to tell him the next time he comes to you needing a release?" Draco asked and watched the cunning thought process fall into place behind Hermione eyes. She reached down and gently put Draco's now soft member back inside his boxers and closed up his pants but didn't refasten his belt.
"Well love, that will depend on how things go, and when the next time he decides to seek me out is. At this point, I can't honestly answer your question. But you don't have anything to worry about." Hermione said and kissed him. He kissed her back and pulled her to him.
"I do have something to worry about, I just don't know what it is your planning yet." Draco said softly. Hermione had her head on his shoulder and she sighed.
"No, it's not really something you should worry about. It's not something that is going to hurt you or anyone else, at least not intentionally. The biggest part of my planning right now is how I am going to be able to see you while I'm at the Burrow. I can't go without your sexy smile for a whole month. I intend to talk Ron into giving you a chance and seeing if, since you are in the order now, you might be welcome to come and visit or maybe come to dinner or something. And if I can convince Ron I can convince any of them." She said and Draco looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"I hope so. I hope to be able to see you and maybe even kiss you, and hold you. Today has been one of the best days of my life. I could never have guessed that you would come to be someone I don't want to live without." Draco said and held her a little tighter. Hermione nodded in agreement.
"Like wise. And the scary thing about it is we have only been doing this for a few days. But they do say that it only takes one day to decide that you never want to live without someone. So it's not like it's unheard of." Hermione rationalized. Draco hummed in response.
"Maybe that was what that magic did. It created that type of life long bond between us. I need to remember to write that down. Because though I thought of you as a friend yesterday, I certainly didn't feel like I couldn't live without you. It's kind of sudden for such strong feelings, and we both seem to have them." Draco said and rolled on to his side to face Hermione.
"I intend to start researching once I get to the Burrow tomorrow evening. I think I'll ask Molly about it first and then if she has nothing I'll hit the books." Hermione said and Draco looked at her sadly.
"I don't want you to go so soon. I wish I didn't have to leave. I'll only have tomorrow with you, until they come to get you, and then I have to go back to that damnable old house and deal with Sirius's constant complaining." Draco said and Hermione gave him a sympathetic look.
"I know, but that's just the way it's going to have to go. And it's getting late now. My parent's will be home before too long. And if you're still here, they are going to ask a lot of questions." Hermione said as she looked at the clock on her wall. Nearly three hours had passed.
"I can't believe we have been up here for three hours. I guess I should be heading home. And I should probably redo my belt." Draco said as they sat up. He re tucked in his shirt and redid his belt and they went down stairs. Draco grabbed his bags and went to the fire place. Hermione gave him one last kiss and he went back home to Grimwald Place.
Stepping out into the drawing room the house seemed extra quiet so Draco made extra careful to be quiet himself. He went to his room and put his bags on the trunk at the end of his bed. He then took off his shoes and undressed to nothing but his boxers.
Merlin's beard today was a good day. And I even got a blow job! It's been so long since I have had sexual contact or even sexual thoughts, I almost didn't want to stop there. I wonder what that girl is planning though. I know she is, I wouldn't be a Slytherin if I couldn't tell when other people are plotting, especially when it involves me! Well lets go through what I know. I know it's got to do with Potter, and she said it had to do with the living arrangements in our dorms. Does she want Potter to come live in the dorms with us? No if it was simply that she would have told me out right. What was it she said about if he came to her seeking relief. She said it would depend on how things went and when he came to her. What did she mean? She obviously wasn't meaning it would depend on how things would go between me and her. So if Potter has to fit somewhere, then maybe she means it will depend on how things go between me and Potter? No, that can't be right. It's not like he and I are going to become best friends and I am going to be like, yeah it's okay I understand that you don't have anyone and need to blow off some steam, so go ahead and borrow my girlfriend. Okay, I need to try looking at this a different way. What could it depend on. What could make it okay for him to get a blow job from my girlfriend? Obvious answer would be that we weren't together, but it's not going to be something obvious. So maybe if we were in an open relationship? Not going to happen, I don't want her to be with whoever whenever, and I think she feels the same about me. So then whats left? I don't know. She also said it would depend on when he came to her. So if time is a factor, then what can time change. Well obviously if he was to approach her tomorrow as soon as she got to the Burrow, she would probably hex him into oblivion. If I was him I wouldn't ask any favors especially sexual ones if we weren't on good terms. So then if the time frame is after they make up, and it is something that would make it okay for him to ask it of her. What difference is making up going to bring. He will want her back. Will she want him back too though? She did tell me she has feelings for him. So if she has feelings for him and they aren't fighting anymore, then if he came to her wanting to mess around she would do it? No, that's not Hermione. She wouldn't agree to be with me just to mess around on me. She wants me to be open minded. But to what? Does she want me to share her with Potter? Could I share her? If she really truly wanted me too, yes, I could. I would be so jealous though that I don't know how long I could agree to it. But what would be the reason I would be jealous? I know her feelings for me wouldn't change, and I would still get the same amount of attention from her, at least I hope I would. But she would be having twice as much affection, and I would have to wonder if Potter was better than me. I'm sure she would tell me he isn't but he would ask the same question and probably get the same answer. I could say that I have to be there for it any time they do anything. But then he would say the same thing, and I don't know if I want a constant audience. But seeing him naked couldn't be so bad, he is a handsome man, can't say I haven't thought about it a time or two. I wonder if he's Bi. That could almost solve that whole problem. Then if he wanted to come to Hermione for relief he could come to both of us, and it wouldn't be like having to share her, we could all have fun and no one would be left out. Ah ha! That's what she's planning. She's trying to come up with a way to have us both so that she wouldn't have to choose if it ever came to that situation because she doesn't want to leave either one of us out! Okay so I'm pretty sure I know what it is. Can I live with that? To have Hermione and Harry? Well it would be something to have claim to the golden boy's arse. If nothing else, that will get me into the history books. But seriously, at least then all of my needs would be met, I wouldn't have to try talking Hermione into letting me bring a guy in sometimes so I can get my fill of penis too. Now I know why mentioning my past sex life made such an impression, she is going to bring up that point to try to get me to agree. Wonder what her game plan was before I gave her that leverage Better yet how is she going to convince Potter? She knows something crucial that I am not privy too. Maybe he is Bi, or maybe he is just curious? Or maybe she has something over him that will make him at least try? She said they haven't had sex yet, maybe he made some sort of promise? I could speculate all night, I think I'm going to go to bed. But first I need to take care of this hard on thinking about this has given me. Yeah Harry wouldn't be a bad addition to this, it's already nearly perfect, adding him could only make it better.
(Slightly Explict content at ending.)
Draco stroked himself as images of Hermione and of Harry passed through his mind. All the things that could happen, he hoped he was right. All he could do was wait and see. He emptied himself into a waiting towel and used a cleaning spell to clean his sticky hand. Then he curled up in his pillows and fell fast asleep.
