Kiss.
"Okay you two, it's time you were going." Madam Pince called as she rounded the bookshelves to where Draco and Hermione were sitting studying at the back table.
"Is it time to shut the library already?" Hermione asked, checking her watch and finding that it was indeed time for the library to be closing for the night.
"Looks like we got carried away again." Draco chuckled as they began to pack up their bags and leave the library.
Over the last few months the pair had become regular study buddies, and would spend hours either in the library or in the eighth year dorms doing homework and revising for their exams. Hermione loved the fact that for once she had someone with the same abilities to study with. She'd never minded studying with Harry and Ron, but with them it was more like she was just helping them, whereas with Draco he could manage his own work just fine. Draco meanwhile was just pleased he'd found someone who took studying seriously. His best friend, Blaise, only did homework when necessary and even though he'd returned to school he was more concerned with his love life. The pair also enjoyed challenging one another and they would often have heated debates on all sort of topics. Of course the pair had also taken to flirting with one another, but so far nothing had happened between them.
Making their way back to the dorms the pair chatted happily together. When they entered the common room they found the place deserted, due to the late hour. Together the pair headed off upstairs, before coming to a halt outside of Hermione's bedroom.
"Night, Granger." Draco said.
"Goodnight, Malfoy." Hermione replied, inwardly sighing as it looked like yet another evening would pass without anything happening between them.
When Draco turned to head off to his own room, Hermione opened her bedroom door. As she began to enter the room she heard Draco muttering to himself before she heard him heading back towards her. Turning around she came face to face with a determined looking Draco.
"I should have done this ages ago." Draco told Hermione, before lowering his head and catching her lips in a forceful kiss.
Despite being momentarily stunned it didn't take Hermione long to react to the kiss. Wrapping her arms around Draco's neck, she opened her mouth to welcome his invading tongue. As the kiss continued to get heated, Draco pulled Hermione as close as she could get to him. Hermione hummed contently at the feel of Draco's hard body pressed against her. It felt so right to be in his arms and she would willingly stay there all night.
Unfortunately all good things had to come to an end and eventually the couple had to part for air. Despite their lips separating, Draco and Hermione remained wrapped in each other's arms.
"Wow." Hermione breathed finally, breaking the silence.
"You can say that again." Draco muttered.
"So what happens now?" Hermione asked, looking up into Draco's grey eyes.
"We go on a date to Hogsmeade." Draco replied. "And if I'm lucky I get to kiss you like that again."
"I'll go with you to Hogsmeade on one condition." Hermione told the blond Slytherin. "You start calling me by my proper name."
"You've got yourself a deal, Hermione." Draco replied with a smile. "Now, do I get a goodnight kiss?"
"Definitely." Hermione grinned, reconnecting their lips for a second time.
The second kiss was just as explosive as the first and by the time they parted they were both gasping for air. But again they still didn't separate, and the pair shared two more kisses before reluctantly disentangling themselves from each other. With the prospect of a date hanging over them the pair finally did go their separate ways for the night, and both of them fell asleep with large smiles on their faces.
