Chapter 11: T-1 Day

It was our last practice before the big game tomorrow afternoon.

After playing football with them Tuesday, I saw a large improvement in communicating with each other. It wasn't easy at first like most things are, but they were trying their hardest to get better.

We all knew we were cutting it close with our new team, but after the dedication we've put into the last few practices, I'm confident we'll at least be able to stand a chance against Gryffindor.

"Remember, tomorrow is huge for scouting contracts," I said, handing them each a parchment with the names of all the scouts who are going to be at the game. "They are all going to be here for everyone who is out on that pitch tomorrow. Memorize their names and teams" I heard groans from Crabbe and Goyle. Turning to where they sat on the couch, I explained why "If you all win, they will want to talk to each of you. Rita Skeeter will hold interviews, it would be of good character to know the industry"

Draco rolled his head back in annoyance, "Not Skeeter, she's the worst"

I moved to sit next to him, where he instinctively placed his hand on my knee, continuing to lay his head back. "Skeeter gets the word out, we need everyone to know the Slytherin House won and are going to Nationals. Think of all the career possibilities"

"And what if we don't want a professional career in Quidditch?" Theo asked from his seat, picking at one of his thumbnails.

I raised my brows, slightly taken back. I guess I never thought of that, that not all of them play for their future. "Well, that doesn't change anything. You may want to do something else, but it won't hurt you to look respectful and educated when you all win"

Theo smiled, nodding his head "Always have an answer for everything don't you Hermione?"

I opened my mouth to oppose Theo but Draco cut me off "Of course she does" He smiled.

Ducking my head I attempted to avoid everyone's gaze, but Draco didn't seem to mind the attention. I knew Draco wanted our relationship to be out to everyone, but I just wasn't ready. Obviously, the team must know something, along with other Slytherins from the party, or Pansy and Daphne. We thought if we didn't openly say something then there would be a smaller chance of people gossiping.

I think back to my conversation with Daphne where she mentioned Draco wanting our relationship to be a known thing in Hogwarts, but it's too close to House Cup for me to make any distractions for Draco.

Just a little bit longer.

The group walked back to the castle together for once. Theo was recalling a story of him from 3rd year when he had his first kiss with Hannah Abbott, and how horribly wrong it went. I was clutching onto Draco, holding myself up from laughing so hard.

Soon the group stopped at the doors, and Draco moved us just a bit away from the group, not necessarily for privacy, just for more intimacy. "Well, this is where we part," He said, taking a deep breath in.

I was about to say my goodbyes before deciding against it "What if we don't tonight?"

He quirked a brow "You want to come back to my dorm? Is that what you're asking?"

I bit my lip, nodding "Can I?"

He blew out a breath, then looked down sadly "I want you to, but father is coming, you know, with the game tomorrow and all. It's really important for us"

"It should only matter to you that it's important. I think you need to rest instead of exhausting yourself for such a big game" I frowned.

He went to refuse, but I cut him off with a kiss. Weaving my fingers through his hair as he gripped my hips, I heard one of the others, no doubt Blaise, suck in their breath. I pulled back slightly, holding on to his shoulders as I continued to balance on my toes, "You need to rest Draco, I don't care about your father, nor should you. This is your life, and you need proper rest" I said softly.

"I agree with her," Theo said, which earned him a punch from Blaise.

"Shut up you idiot" Blaise whispered through his teeth, still acting like he wasn't paying attention to us.

I laughed, looking back at Draco "So?"

He stayed stone-faced while he contemplated till a small smirk broke out on his face "I guess it wouldn't hurt"

My face beamed as we walked hand and hand down to the dungeons with the others.

~0~

I was a bit hesitant walking behind Draco to his dorm. The last time I had been there was after being drugged by Flint. It felt weird seeing the hallways that weren't much of a maze as I remembered them being. As if Draco could feel my anxiety rising he reached back for my hand which I eagerly gave to him.

His room was exactly how I remembered it, a few clothes lying around here and there, but certainly not messy or tidy.

He brushed past me, throwing his bag on the desk chair then collapsing on his bed. Glancing around awkwardly, I shuffled my feet, looking at the photos on his dresser.

Most of them were of Draco and other Slytherins. One of him and Pansy from the Yule Ball, others of the Slytherin team through the years. I smiled, looking at some of the boys grow through the years, or join the team as past 7th year students graduated.

"Want anything to drink?" He asked, gesturing to the miniature bar he had near his desk that I failed to notice.

Placing my hands on my hips, I asked "Are you suggesting drinking before such a big game tomorrow?"

He moved to rest back on his elbows, "I just thought it'd help us relax a bit, knowing you, you'll be all uptight and stressed out"

Rolling my eyes, I plopped next to him on the bed, propping myself up with my elbow to scold him. "I will not, in order for things to go smoothly, I've learned anxiety doesn't help"

"Bloody good, I didn't know if I'd be able to handle you" Draco exhaled.

I went to swat at his chest, but his hand caught mine "But if you don't want to drink" He said, moving his head closer to my ear, whispering "I know other ways to relax"

A shiver went through my body, but before he could start kissing my neck I pushed him fully onto his back, moving to straddle on top of him. His eyes widened, curiosity filling them, along with arousal.

I smirked down at him, "We've already established I don't need relaxing" I brought my hand up to his chest, slowly walking my fingers up to his cheek, "But I know I can help you relax a bit, you are one of the best seekers and all"

His hands had started rubbing up and down my waist, slowly starting to touch the underside of my breast. I leaned back a bit, moving out of his touch that was so mesmerizing. "You haven't agreed to it yet" I stated.

He huffed, "Always so fucking technical" I laughed as he leaned up to pull me into a burning kiss. "I want to be a gentleman and tell you 'no, you first' but I can't get the thought of your hand wrapped around my cock out of my head" He admitted, staring deeply into my eyes.

I think I stopped breathing for a moment because it seemed like his smirk brought air back to my lungs. "Just my hands?" I asked innocently, running my hands up and down his broad chest and shoulders.

He shuddered, closing his eyes, hissing a curse. When he reopened them, they were fully dilated. "Fuck, Hermione, who knew the bookworm would make me this fucking hard," He said, taking my hand and showing the evidence, that yes, he was very hard indeed.

I grinned, "It's always the quiet ones isn't it?"

He shook his head, leaning back when I applied pressure to his shoulders to lie down. "Yes, but you aren't a quiet one"

I couldn't help but laugh as I ducked down, starting a very frisky snog. His hands felt as if they were all over me at once. His body felt so warm undermine, the thought making me moan slightly into his mouth. "Keep doing that and I'm going to finish in my pants like a fucking 3rd year"

Ignoring him, I grounded my hips down a little, just giving him a little taste of how warm I am already. His body vibrated against me as he groaned, allowing me to slip my tongue lightly against his. We were panting quite quickly already, eager to get at each other.

I moved my hands to the buttons of his school shirt, swiftly undoing them. He followed quickly after, reaching for my top. I allowed him to let my shirt join his somewhere on the floor in his room, but I wouldn't let him remove my bra.

"I've already seen your tits, Granger, no need to hide," He said, not evening removing his eyes from my breasts.

Sighing, I finally let him remove the bra. After a bit more snogging and heavy petting, done mostly by Draco, we were both standing, swiftly removing our bottoms. My skirt slipped off easily, while Draco had to tug a bit at his trousers.

He went to remove his trunks as well, but I stopped him "Allow me?" I asked, pushing him to sit on the edge of the bed. He nodded dumbly, eyeing my body up and down like a starved man.

I pushed his legs apart, having to push them more than I ever had to with Ron because of his broomstick thighs. Running my hands up and down his strong thighs, I asked "Don't hold back on me, yeah?"

Shaking his head, "Never"

He helped me remove him from his trunks, then sat back on the edge, waiting for my next move. I was ready for him to rush me into it, but I knew I needed to stop expecting Ron out of Draco because Draco is a far better man than Ron.

The groan he released when I finally placed my hands on his shaft will bless my dreams forever. I slowly started to pump him, keeping eye contact while he struggled to keep his eyes open. I would swipe my thumb occasionally over the tip, collecting the clear fluid that had started developing.

"Bloody hell, Hermione, you can probably just make me come by looking at me like that" He muttered, his cheeks flush.

I smiled purely, finally letting my tongue get a taste of Draco fucking Malfoy. I felt myself grow warmer even by the small amount of contact. His hands dove into my hair, gripping tightly, stinging slightly, but not hurting me, only letting me grow more aroused.

I muffled a moan as I took him fully into my mouth. It took a bit of adjusting on my part considering Draco's size, but I made it work. I felt him twitch on my tongue as he reached the back of my throat. "You're doing so good, Hermione" He whispered, rubbing his other hand around my cheek.

Whimpering, I clenched my thighs. I heard him chuckle above me, "You like being praised?"

I went to nod but noticed I couldn't with his cock at the back of my throat. As if he noticed the same thing, he moved my head back, still gripping my hair. As my mouth disconnected with a 'pop', a string of saliva trailed from my mouth. His thumb wiped it, running it over my mouth as he asked the question again.

"Yes," I whispered, blushing even redder.

He smiled, "Good, you deserve it"

I could feel my thighs dampen as I hungrily went back to his dick, continuing to run my tongue around it, under it as I took it into my mouth repeatedly, hollowing my cheeks near the top after hearing he liked it from a murmured "Good girl"

After keeping my consistent rhythm, changing it every few sucks, Draco pulled me away. I frowned looking up at him, "Did I do something wrong?"

He shook his head, out of breath, "No, no darling, I'm just going finish any second"

I sat back, "And?"

He tilted his head, "I wasn't sure if you wanted me to come in your mouth"

My mouth quirked on the right side "Where else would you come?"

His eyes widened slightly, "Anywhere I suppose. Some girls don't like it when guys come in their mouths and since we having talked about it I pulled you off"

"Anywhere?" I asked, crossing my arms.

Nodding, he replied, "Yes, why is this such a shocker?"

I looked down, sighing, "I just- Ron told me it hurts for guys to finish in any place that isn't warm, like a mouth or a-," I said pointing down awkwardly to my knickers.

Grabbing my shoulders, Draco lifted me to sit next to him. "As the Brightest Witch of Her Age, I'm surprised you'd fall for such bullshit"

Feeling completely embarrassed, I moved my head to hide behind my hair. "I just thought it was normal"

He rubbed my back comfortingly, taking two of his fingers to lift my chin to him. He gave me a small peck before saying "It's ok, we'll just need to relearn some things"

I smirked, "I do like learning things''

He chuckled quietly, before taking my hand and kissing it sincerely, "Now, where would you like me to finish?"

I looked down, noticing he was still hard, the tip red. "You said anywhere?" I asked looking back up at him.

His eyes had glazed over again from excitement, "Yes, anywhere you'd like"

I bit my cheek thinking "I do like the taste of you, and wouldn't mind you finishing in my mouth" I said honestly, earning a small whimper from him "But I think I want somewhere new"

He nodded, "Anywhere you want, Hermione"

I looked down at my breasts, having overheard Parvati say Micheal Corner finished on her tits once. I, of course at the time was furious she made him hurt for her own entertainment, but now I can't help but be curious. "My tits?"

"Fuck yes," He said, moving me back to sit between his legs. I reached up, ready to take ahold of him again, but he stopped my hand stating "I'll be done in a second, I want you to just sit there and be ready, can you do that for me?"

I nodded vigorously. I watched in awe as he brought himself off, staring at me just looking up at him. My knickers were soaked through. Draco was right though, he was done in no more than 20 seconds, spilling his seed all over my chest.

I smiled, proud of myself, up at Draco, who pulled me up to him to kiss me senseless.

I didn't notice he had grabbed his wand to scourgify the mess on my chest, before reaching down to my knickers. "Let me help you, please" He practically begged, moving his hand at the elastic of my panties.

Opening my mouth to oblige, but a pounding came at the door. "Draco! Why aren't you at the pitch?"

Lucius.

Draco quickly covered my mouth, moving one of his fingers to cover his, telling me to be silent. I nodded, watching as he moved to dress, only putting on his boxers. As he made his way to the door, he motioned for me to cover up. I grabbed the nearest thing, his crumpled-up school shirt, then hid behind the door to his bathroom.

Draco opened the door, "Hello, father"

"Draco, when you come to greet someone at the door, it's necessary that you are dressed"

I peeked around the corner of the door, watching Draco shrug before he replied. "Well considering it's after hours, which means I should be sleeping, I think it's perfectly acceptable I'm not dressed in my suit"

Lucius squinted his eyes, "Yes, it is after hours, but it's after hours before a game, which means you should be at the pitch. Why aren't you at the pitch?"

"Because I needed rest," Draco said, leaning casually against the door frame.

Shaking his head, Lucius tried to storm past him, only making it a step into the room when Draco stepped in front of him. I pushed myself back up against the wall, once again out of sight. I heard the older of the two Malfoy's exaggerating sniffing. "Smells like sex"

"Can't I enjoy a wank by myself in my dorm room?"

A smug laugh, "By yourself aye? Whose skirt is that?"

I expected Draco to fumble his lie, but it came so smoothly even I believed it for a moment. "It's just leftover from a past fuck"

"Watch your mouth boy" Lucius hissed, then causing a stretching silence. "They're clearly not someone you should be having fun with if you won't even mention their name"

"I don't know what you mean father, I always prefer not telling you my conquests"

"Yes, but this one is different than the others" I could see Lucius' shadow lean in closer to Draco's "I can see it in your eyes"

Draco didn't respond but just continued to stare down his father with boredom.

Finally, after what seems like forever, Lucius leaned back, looking over the room once more before turning towards Draco again. "Never choose to fuck a girl over quidditch. You know the rules, only quick shags during your breaks, nothing more during quidditch season. And if I find out you chose a girl over tonight's practice, you better wish your mother will be with you to give you mercy"

I could hear Draco rolling his eyes as he said "Of course Father, I wouldn't do that"

Lucius snapped then "I don't like your attitude Draco, I can tell you're hiding something, and I will find out what it is" He turned preparing to leave, not looking back as he said "By the way son, if you fail tomorrow, no more embarrassing me. You chose not to practice tonight, therefore you seem to have started making your own decisions about your life. Considering that, you lose, you move out of the Manor and lose access to lodging at any other Malfoy property. You can find someplace to live since you like making your own decisions"

I heard Draco suck in air, but he didn't reply as Lucius strutted away.

Once I knew Lucius was gone, I moved from behind my hiding spot. "Is he serious?" I asked, meeting him in the middle of the room to sit on his bed.

Draco tilted his head in a slight nod, "Yes, reputation is everything to Malfoy's"

I fiddled with my hands, suddenly curious about Draco's feelings. "And how do I affect your reputation?"

He looked over at me, "What do you mean?"

I shrugged, looking around the room. "I don't know, I'm a muggle-born after all, surely that doesn't help with your reputation. You made it quite clear through our childhood"

He sucked in a breath, tapping his foot anxiously against the tiled floor. "I can't make any excuses for how I treated you in the past" he sighed, "I think it was underlying hatred that I wanted you but couldn't have you"

"Then why can you have me now?"

Finally deciding to look me in my eyes, he responded "Because after what happened between you and Weasel, I knew it was meant to be, to stop giving a fuck about father, or any pureblood bullshit I've grown up with" He smirked "Malfoy's always get what they want"

I couldn't help but let a small smile appear on my face, but it didn't last long. "So I'm not just a mudblood?"

His eyes turned cold, "No, and you never were"

I nodded, nervously looking away, not knowing how to respond. I hadn't meant for us to have this conversation right here, right now, but I couldn't help myself when I saw the opening.

Draco then placed his hand on my cheek, bringing it up to look at him. He was wearing a weary, soft look. I knew he was probably just as anxious as I was about confronting the past between us but after spending all this time with him and the others I learned that they all have grown and matured.

I leaned up, gently pressing my lips against his. He tipped his head back slightly "Is this you forgiving me?"

I bit my lip, acting as if I was contemplating it. I inclined my head, capturing his lips again for a brief moment. "I guess I can forgive you"

He barked a laugh, "You don't seem too convinced" He moved his hand to the top of his school shirt that I was still wearing, "I know other ways I could convince you" He whispered against my lips, slowly unbuttoning the buttons one by one.

I let him, indulging in the way his tongue caressed against mine, but reluctantly pushed him away. "I would, but your father ruined the mood"

His shoulders sagged but he nodded, moving to lay us down on the bed. As he moved the covers over, I removed the rest of the top, deciding it wouldn't be as comfortable to sleep in.

I settled against his chest once we were fully under the covers. "I hope tomorrow goes as planned" I whispered, almost accidentally. I wouldn't be able to sleep if we didn't discuss tomorrow.

I could feel his chest rumbling as he answered "Me too," He moved his arm, squeezing me closer to him "It will all work out though, especially with you there"

I beamed against him, "You know, it might rain tomorrow?"

"I heard something like that, but us Slytherins don't have any issue with that"

I shifted, making my head look up at him, "Do you think the others will know about me?"

He titled his head "The Gryffindors?" I inclined my head. He blew out a breath as he responded "They might, but I think they should've always known. Maybe tell them before the game"

I laid my head back down against him "No, that would only distract them, wouldn't be fair"

"You still need to tell them, I'm tired of living with this shadow following us around"

"I know me too. I'll gather them after the game tomorrow and tell them in a controlled environment, so there's no way either side can lash out" I said, snuggling my nose against his chest, breathing his scent in as my eyes finally started to tire out.

He gave me one last kiss to my head before agreeing "Sounds like a plan"
