Only about thirty minutes had passed. Hermione was sitting on the cool cement floor with her head on Draco's shoulder.
Suddenly he jumped up. "Hermione, given a moment to think about this situation, I just realized how much fun I could have with you tonight. If you don't mind, I think I'm going to use you to my full advantage."
The effect of the potion was winning over her mind, and she nodded in agreement. "Yes, Draco, I agree that we could have a lot of fun tonight. What did you have in mind?" Her words were slurred together in a lovesick sort of way, assuring him that the spell was in full effect. Her eyes had a glazed over look to them, almost as if she wasn't looking at him, but somewhere else, somewhere only she could see.
Draco laughed inwardly at her lack of resistance. If only she could see herself now. He decided to try out her self-control, seeing if she'd make all the moves on him. "Well, let's start with a romantic walk along the lake outside, shall we?"
Hermione hooked her arm in his. "Anything for you." She gave him a hinting smile.
They were about to leave the potions closet when Draco stopped and grabbed a couple of vials of left over lust potion. 'Just in case,' he thought to himself.
They started up the stairs from the dungeons and quietly made their way outside. The air was cool and there was a light breeze, but it was a perfect night for a midnight walk. As they came closer to the lake, Hermione nonchalantly slipped her hand in Draco's. A small smile played on his face as he thought, 'this is going to be easier than I thought'.
"Where are we going, Draco?" Hermione asked innocently.
He looked at her with a playful look in his eyes. It almost made him feel bad, how he was leading her on like this. But she was the one who took the potion, now she would have to suffer the consequences. Besides, he wasn't forcing her to do anything. By now they had passed Hagrid's cabin and were nearing the Forbidden Forest.
Hermione raised her eyebrows when she saw where he was leading her. They walked part way into the forest and right to a small shack that would be completely hidden from view unless you knew what you were looking for. Draco pulled a set of keys out of a pocket from inside his robes and quickly unlocked the door. He shoved Hermione inside and came in after her, shutting the door and locking it behind him. With a certain suave air to him, he dropped the keys back into his pocket.
Hermione took a moment to take in her surroundings. The room they were in was big enough to comfortably hold two people, and also included a small couch. On the walls were pictures of Slytherins, probably from years ago, with their girlfriends. "What is this place?" Hermione asked, confused.
Grinning Draco pointed to one of the pictures. "That's my dad. And some girl. This place is passed down from Slytherin to Slytherin each year. It's impossible to get caught here. It's great. And this is my year."
Hermione's eyes sparkled. "Seriously? What have you done here?"
Draco looked at her in disbelief. "What have I done here? Hmm, let's see I brought Harry and Ron and we had a tea party." He turned up his nose. "Honestly 'Mione, you'd think that you, being as smart as you are, would be able to use your imagination a little bit."
She just laughed, not fully understanding what he was saying. "Well, would you like to show me?" she asked coyly, leaning over so that she was resting her body against his. The sudden closeness of the situation surprised Draco greatly, causing him to lose his balance and fall over onto the couch. Hermione tumbled after him onto his lap. A soft giggle escaped her lips.
They sat in silence for a moment, giving Draco a little while to think things through. He weighed his choices. He could go ahead with what was obviously coming between the two of them, and have yet another girl to add to his list of successes. Or he could just stop right now and not go any further with this pathetic girl who was practically throwing herself at him. When he put it in that perspective, he didn't understand why he even stopped to think about it at all.
He leaned forward the tiniest bit and lightly kissed her neck. Her arms made their way around his neck and she somehow found his lips with her own.
All sorts of thoughts were running through Draco's mind. Somehow this "victory" didn't feel quite as good as the others. He thought that perhaps it was because, for once, it wasn't his dazzling charm and tricks that had made the girl fall for him. For once, he hadn't had to do a thing. And he wasn't used to that.
He wasn't sure how he was going to pull off this next week with Hermione. It was going to take a lot of explaining. As much as he hated her, he couldn't very well let the whole school know she had messed up a potion and done something dumb for a change. Even a Slytherin couldn't do that to her. Besides, when she wasn't being a know-it-all, she was actually kind of fun to be with. Especially when she was so crazy about him.
So everyone would think he was crazy for hanging out with a Gryffindor. So what? The Slytherins would think he was just using her, and everyone else already hates him, what harm was in it for him? He grinned as Hermione began trying to undo the clasp in the front of his robes, without much luck.
He made up his mind right then and there, maybe it wasn't the smartest thing he's ever done, but he was going to be with Hermione. For the week.
She gave up on his robes and made up for it by undoing her own. Draco laughed a small laugh that Hermione didn't even hear, or chose not to hear. He obliged her by undoing his robes himself, and finally kissed her lips, as passionately as he was willing to let himself be.
