The day went by slowly for Hermione. She wanted to talk to Draco but knew she couldn't. He seemed fine in the hospital wing but she had been watching him all day and she could tell he wasn't. Then when detention came around she had her chance. Ron had to go to the trophy room, while Herself and Draco cleaned caldrons without wands. At first Snape watched over them so she was stuck stealing glazes of Draco. Half of his shirt was tucked in and the other half wasn't. His sleeves were rolled up showing off his tones forearms and Dark mark. Even though his shirt was baggy she could see his body was just as toned. She wanted to grab him and kiss him. She found herself wanting him to do things to her she never even dreamed of allowing a boy do to her.

Suddenly Professor Snape jumped up from his seat causing Hermione's train of thought to stop dead. He walked over to them and said in his slow, dragging voice.

"I am going to watch over Mr Wesley. Carry on with your good work." then he was gone.

Hermione dropped the caldron she was cleaning and hugged Draco from behind. He too dropped his caldron and turned to face her wrapping his arms around her.

"What's wrong?"

"I should ask you that question. I've seen you today. When people were looking you hid you feelings well but when you thought no one was looking the shone like the sun."

"I'm ok. Just annoyed and ashamed of how I acted in front of you."

"Don't be."

"Did I scare you? With my anger."

"A little."

"Sorry." he broke away from the hug and began to clean again. "We need to get this done."

Detention finished for Draco and Hermione at half eleven. They walked through the dungeons for a little while before they came to a forked corridor.

"Bye." Draco said before turning left.

"Where are you going?"

"My common room is this way."

"I know but will you come with me instead?"

"Ok." he said slowly.

Hermione led him out of the dungeons and up to the seventh floor. He knew where she was taking him he just didn't know why. She stopped in front of a wall and they waited for the door to appear. When it did they went in side. There wasn't anything but a sofa and a fire. They both sat down and Draco broke the silence first.

"Why are we here?"

"Because I wanted to talk to you. All day you've been acting different.""I told you why."

"And the way you acted after I told you, you scared me just a little."

"I'm just frustrated with your weasel."

Draco said this while tacking off his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. All Hermione could do was stair at his toned chest and stomach.

She laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arm around his waist. She could feel his muscles under his soft skin tense. She looked up at his face and his eyes were closed , his mouth slightly open. She couldn't resist the temptation. She slowly knelt up and kissed him once. When she looked back at his face his eyes were open and he had a slight smirk playing away at his lips. He put his hands in her hair and she kissed him again only this time it was longer and she introduced tongues. Both tongues met in the middle each time their mouths opened. Slowly she knelt over him and she began to unbutton her own shirt.

When she managed that task she slid her shirt off and wrapped her arms around Draco who stopped kissing her. She looked into his eyes and asked,

"What?"

"We can't."

"Why?"

"I'm tired and you need to think about it. I mean really think about it."

"Why?"

"Because not long ago I was your enemy trying to get you in bed for fun."

"But I want to take it to the next step."

"Hermione the next step for us is showing people we are at least friends."

"Have you been stringing me along." She stood in front of the fire. "Or is it because I'm a mudblood and you can't be dirtied by me."

"What? No. Your insane." he went to her and grabbed her by the top of her arms. "Belief me when I say it's not you it's me."

"Yeh." She tried to turn away but he wouldn't let her.

"Yes. I don't want to do it with you yet because I know I will let you down. At some point I will hurt you and let you down and the you will regret it."

"What makes you say that?" She asked him. He confused her.

"Because I'm a Malfoy and that's what we do. We play with people and let them down without realising we're doing it."

"You won't let me down."

"How do you know?"

"How do you know you will?" He shrugged. "Exactly. I would rather take the risk. Life is one big risk."

Hermione grabbed the collar of his shirt and pushed his shirt off. She looked at his body for a little while then they picked up where they left off. Hermione's hands tangled in Draco's hair while his wrapped around her delicate body. Draco slid his hand up her back to her bra hook and unhooked it. She let it fall to the ground then squashed her body as close to his as possible. She liked the feeling of skin on skin contacted.

"Hermione!"

They both broke away from each other to see Ron stood in the door way. Hermione, remembering she was completely topless, hid behind Draco. Draco could feel his anger towards Ron grow once again. Just the sight of him made Draco want to tear him apart.

"Tell me this has something to do with love potion." Ron said.

"I don't know. Maybe." Hermione said.

"Stop lying Mione. This has nothing to do with any kind of potion and it never has."

Hermione recognised the tone of voice. It was the same tone he had when he nearly hit Ron.

"Draco." Hermione whispered in a 'shut up now' tone.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked.

"How thick are you weasel. Everything about her been my lab rat was a lie."

"Draco." She said more forcefully.

"She lied." Ron whispered.

Draco saw Ron was upset and he enjoyed seeing Ron in pain. "Oh. As it finally clicked."

"Draco!" Hermione shouted.

Hermione could see Draco's evil smirk. Ron stood in the door way for awhile then he turned and walked out closing the door behind him. Draco's smirk faded and his jaw tensed. He bent down and picked up Hermione's bra. She took it off of him and put it on. Draco just laid on the bed and acted as if nothing happened.

"Why?" Hermione stood at the side of the bed.

"Why what?"

"You know what." he could hear the tears in her voice and it broke his heart but he didn't show it.

"We were caught Hermione."

"Ok yes I know but you used this as a way to hurt him."

"I know."

"We could have said you used the potion at first but then you told me why you used the potion."

"We could have. Don't you think the truth is best." .

Tears fell from her eyes and Draco himself was fighting back tears. He was upset that he had hurt her. Suddenly her fist flew down into his chest.

"Stop it!" She shouted.

"Stop what?"

"Hiding."

"Who's hiding."

"It's what you do. Your upset so you hide behind the tough I don't care exterior." she sobbed.

"What do I have to be upset about?"

"Hurting me. You think because you did that I'm going to ditch you so your going to act like you used to and push me away in hopes that it would hurt less but it won't it will hurt worse."

"Oh and you know me so well do you."

"Am I wrong?" he didn't say anything. "See but you thinking wrong. I won't dump you because you told the truth even if your intentions were wrong."

"Really? Your not?"

"I am angry with you for hurting him on purpose but I know it would have hurt him anyway. By tomorrow everyone will know."

She sank down onto the bed next to Draco and snuggled up to him. He held her tighter then he ever has and she squeezed him back. After a short while Hermione fell to sleep worried about Ron and Harry and Draco fell to sleep glad to have Hermione by his side.

I'm not really sure if this is a good chapter but tell me what you think.
