Chapter 4
It was three weeks before Halloween, classes had been going on as planed. Hermione was very impressed at the attention that Draco commanded and received. The students learned how to cast several protection spell and where now dueling with them. Only four had been sent to the hospital wing. She did not talk much to Malfoy, he never seemed like he knew anyone else was there. But there was so much she wanted to know about him. Like how on earth had he gotten to teach this class, where he had been the past years and why he dropped out of school the last year. She heard the sound of talking at the door, very slowly and silently she walked to get a better look. She saw Malfoy talking to a student, that Mace boy.
"I will not have your father running you back and forth" Draco said anger in his voice " if he wants to speak to me have him come to me"
"what would Dumbledore do if he knew a Ex-..." he was cut off by a wave from Draco's hand.
"miss Granger is there anything you want?" he asked her coldly not taking his eyes from the boy in front of him. She had thoughts of saying 'you' but laughed at herself. He was a Malfoy and she did not want that.
"is it a crime to wake up and have to use the bathroom?" she asked him coolly. He gave a slight smirk but decided to get rid of the boy first.
"Mace, leave we will finish this after class tomorrow" his tone very commanding, the boy opened the door muttered some goodbyes and was gone
"Granger sit down" she was shocked at herself, she sat when she was told. This was not right, he commands she obeys? Not right at all. 'but' she thought 'I would do almost anything when he uses that voice' she was beating herself mentally for what she thought. 'This is a Malfoy he is evil and you hate him' she repeated in her head before her brought her back from her thoughts
"what is it you want to know Granger?"
"what do you mean Malfoy? I don't want anything from you"
"you did not have to go to the bathroom" he said with a smirk "or you would be there now and not talk to me. so what is it you hoped too get from my conversation with the Mace?"
"I was not listening to it, honestly, I was just going to the bathroom"
"you have never been a good liar Granger and we both know to well of the Gryffindor curiosity. I know you where listening but why?"
"it...I have.....well I wonder where you have been the last five years. I mean you dropped out of school, I did not think your marks where that bad and then you where not seen for five whole years until you come here"
"firstly, Granger, I would have you know that this is none of business. Second I did not "drop out" of school. I finished both 6th and 7th in one year" he said quiet plainly as if it where nothing "and I know you have your ideas about where I have been. you know I was serving the Dark lord?" he was saying all this so clam it was almost creepy.
"I had my thoughts" she said eyeing him "but..." she tried to continue but could not find the right words. Shrew had tried this same thing with Harry and had got her head bitten off but she wanted to know what happened.
"you want to know what happened that night?" he said looking at her, his dark grey eyes locking with her brown ones. She nodded. "it is just like all the papers said" his voice was cold and bitter his eyes where angry "it happened just as they said, your precious Potter came and killed the Dark lord"
"but there was never anything about your in the papers, nothing of your trial or any thing" she looked at him very intently, she could see that this was a touchy subject but she wanted to know. She moved over to the couch he was sitting on. His eyes did not move from the fire they where focused and dark. She could not help herself, her hand went up to his face to move a strand of hair that feel into his eyes. His had was up to hers in a flash, gripping her wrist tightly.
"what is it?" he looked at her "let go" she commanded "and I'll show you" he released her hand and it continued it's course to his face. She slowly brushed it away from his face always watching his eyes. His face came slowly closer to hers she knew what he was going to do and did not stop it. his lips reached hers and pressed slowly against her mouth
' oh Merlin! What are you doing Hermione? This is a..a Malfoy. And he is kissing you' she thought as she deepened the kiss she was just going to pull away when she felt his hand on her thigh, slowly working it's way up to her back. A small moan escaped her mouth as his hand caressed her back. Instinctively her hands went up to his hair.
'knock knock'
slowly and unhurriedly he broke the kiss. He calmly stood up and walked to the door as Hermione fixed her self to the best she could. "Ah Mr. Potter" Malfoy's voice changed back to the cold and unwelcome voice it used to be
"Mr. Malfoy, how are you tonight?"
