My many thanks to all you wonderful people. Hopefully I can keep up this weekly thing lol. Much love! And here is the next chapter, enjoy!
I do not own any of J. K. Rowling's work, solely the plot to this story.
"Alright Hermione, what is going on between you and Malfoy?"
Hermione nearly fell off the bench she was sitting on. If she had been drinking or eating something it would have definitely been spit out. She looked at Ginny incredulously. "I'm sorry, but come again?"
Ginny's glare only hardened. "You heard me."
Hermione shook her head with an exasperated laugh. "You're completely mental."
"I'm completely serious."
Her gaze didn't falter. Nor did her crossed arms and seemingly towering stance. Ginny was dead serious. Hermione frowned and sat back down. "Ginny, I really have no idea—"
"Hermione please! Since school started you've spent more time with him than ever over the past six years!"
"He's Head Boy and I'm Head Girl. It's kind of inevitable."
"Yeah. Just like the way you've kissed him twice."
Three times actually … She didn't dare correct her. "He kissed me. And I've already explained to you the circumstances revolving around both incidents—"
"And you can't deny the fact that you hate him like you once did."
"I never hated him. I just …"
Ginny laughed bitterly. "Right. And my brother is a genius."
Hermione scoffed. "Don't be absurd. And leave Ron out of this."
At this something seemed to flash across the redheaded girl's face. She took a menacing step forward and pointed an accusing finger towards the other girl's chest. "Believe me, I would if I could. But it so happens I love him enough to look out for him. And right now you, Hermione, are a potential threat."
Hermione's jaw dropped. Seriously? Was she for real? Her eyes widened and she stood up to meet the other's gaze. "Me? What in heaven's name have I done—"
"Don't give me that, Hermione. You're not stupid and we both know it."
Hermione gave a fake laugh. "Oh, let me guess. It has something to do with Malfoy, right?"
"It has everything to do with him."
Hermione snorted. "What? You think there's something going on between Malfoy and I? Draco Malfoy?"
Ginny's eyes seemed to almost disappear for the slits that they'd become. "Don't insinuate on my perception. I have an acute sense of when something is going on, and this is one of those times. So spill. What the hell is going on between you and Malfoy and why, if there is obviously something, are you suddenly dragging my ignorant brother into this? Because if it's revenge you're looking for, let me tell you that not only is that very cruel but—"
"For goodness sake, Ginny, will you stop being such a drama queen and think rationally for one bit?"
"I am. Why don't you start using that brain of yours for something other than schoolwork."
"There is nothing going on between Malfoy and I."
"Your relationship is changing. Even Harry has noticed."
"We've come to an agreement when it comes to our Head duties."
"Is that all? I highly doubt it. I see the way he looks at you. The way you blush! Hermione, you've never taken an interest in any boys aside from Ron, how could I not notice when you go from absolutely loathing Malfoy to permitting him to kiss you and get away with it?"
Well when you put it that way … "Ginny, really I—"
"And letting him into our Common Room? Our dorms? You won't even let Harry—"
"That was official Head business. He happens to be quite smart when he wants to and—"
"Are you actually defending him?"
"No! I—well sort of I—" Hermione exhaled loudly. "You're twisting it the wrong way and you know it."
"I'm not twisting anything. Just stating the facts. So either you're completely stupid or you're in serious denial."
Hermione suddenly reared up out of her seat and gathered her things.
"Where are you going? We're not done here."
With a quick spin the older witch turned on her companion. "Oh yes we are. You're completely off your rocker. I'm going to go check on Ron." And with that, she stormed out the greenhouse.
Ginny felt her surmounted anger diminish with the absence of her presence, and in its place a huge feeling of disappointment. Hermione was not stupid, which could only mean…
"She's in serious denial …"
Draco was fuming. And he was fuming even more for the fact that he was fuming over Weasley and Granger to begin with. It made no sense.
Well, actually it does. If you would just admit—
"Oh go to hell!"
"Draco?"
Draco stopped in his tracks, the familiar voice bringing about his earlier regret. It seemed he was being given a second chance after all. Without giving it a second thought he whirled around and grabbed her.
"Draco what are you—"
He didn't let her finish, silencing her immediately with a quick charm. Her eyes widened and she made to struggle, at which Draco leaned down and captured her lips. Her body instantly relaxed and within seconds she was leaning into his embrace, her arms wrapped around his shoulders. Draco only let it last for a few seconds. He pulled back slightly, his silver-blue eyes a darker shade of gray with what could only be unsatisfied want.
"I need you. Now. And very badly. Will you give me what I need, Pansy? For old time's sake?"
She simply nodded, her dark eyes half-lidded and lips flushed from his swift descent. It was all the answer he needed. Within moments they were in his room and he was on her, ravishing her with a desire he'd never known, almost angrily, desperately. He made no attempt at playing the romantic, and she seemed to understand, or at least oblige to his demands, his need.
Quickly. Everything had to be done quickly. His need was urgent. And emotions were high. High and unacceptable. A quick screw. That's all I need.
Draco thought of brown eyes and brown, curly hair, soft pink lips that were almost virgin, an innocence so distinguished it drove him crazy … His pace began to quicken and below him Pansy began to mewl with renewed fervor. But it wasn't her voice he heard.
Traitor...
And finally …
"You can go now."
"But—"
"I need to take a shower." He left her on the bed.
Hermione had no intention of going to the hospital wing. Ron's slugfest was not the first of its kind—and she had a nagging suspicion a certain Slytherin was to blame somehow—and Madam Pomphrey could definitely take care of him without another person to peer over her shoulder. No, she had no business there; she was going to settle this atrocity before anybody else began getting ideas. Ginny was a complete idiot for even suggesting such things. Feelings for Draco Malfoy? Preposterous! The way he looked at her? Even more ridiculous. Oh no, she was going to settle this once and for all.
She was in the Slytherin Common Room and at Draco's suite door in minutes. Thank goodness for master passwords! She rapped three times on the door.
"Malfoy! Open up! We have a score to settle!"
No one answered. And Hermione was suddenly losing her nerve. No time for that now. I need to prove that there's nothing … here. She knocked again. "Malfoy, open the bloody doo—"
The door swung open and Hermione nearly tipped over. What she saw, however, was enough to make her knees go weak and her jaw slacken significantly.
Wearing nothing but her underwear and a bra, Pansy sneered. "Draco is indisposed at the moment. And in either case, I very much doubt he'd want a second helping after what I did to him. Much less from a rotten mudblood like you."
And without even letting her respond, Pansy slammed the door and left Hermione standing speechless.
Review-replies:
iUnknown-I know what you mean about the hw, thank goodness I'm done with college lol! But yes, you should finish your science stuff first. Thanks!
Korra1sg-You said it yourself: 'Draco needs to get some' and voila! Lol, thanks!
Coolgems1630yahoo-I get how repetition can get annoying. If used incorrectly it can backfire on whatever attempt/mood the author was trying to convey. I guess sometimes it's a matter of opinion lol, but in this case, 'Durmstrang' was intentionally repeated. Idk, I actually thought it was ok … but like I said, sometimes it's a matter of opinion. Thank you for your honesty.
Jane-Fab! I love it! Lol, thanks!
