Chapter 3: Time
Hermione layed awake in her room reading Hogwarts:A History. It was almost 12:00 in the morning. Hermione couldn't fall asleep; her "little" chat with Malfoy had distrubed her. Why would he want to be friends with her? Of course she knew the answer; only to get her in bed, but why her? She would of thought that Malfoy of all people would be the last to even think of sleeping with her: a muggle-born.

Suddenly Hermione heard music, but where was it coming from? It sounded like Classsical music. Curiousty got the best of her. The sound of the music lead her to the indoor pool. She saw a male figure siting in a chair swinging something that seemed to look like a wand around; like a Orchastra instructor. She slowly opened the door and entered as not to distrub the person.

"Excuse me". Hermione called out, but he didn't seem to hear her.

"Excuse me". She called out again a bit louder. This time he heard her. To her surprise and disappiontment is was no other then Draco Malfoy.

Draco turned around to see who called and it was just the person he wanted to see. He smiled as soon as he saw her.

Hermione was surprised to see him smile. He usually always flashed one of his imfamous smirks; which for merlins sake annoyed the hell of out her. But this time he didn't throw one of his smirks he smiled at her, which she thought, suited him well. She felt something, but she didn't know what it was and she didn't want to admitt it."

"Malfoy, what are u doing?"

"What does it look like Granger? I'm listening to music."

"Yes, I know that, but why would a Malfoy be listening to muggle music?"

"Just because I'm a pureblood doesn't mean i can not enjoy muggle music."

"No, theres nothing wrong....every room in this manor can hear this?" Hermione asked.

"No, actually just in your room."

"Well if you don't mind please turn it down I'm reading in my room". Hermione said as she turned around to go back to her room.

"Ah, why doesn't that surprise me. Granger reading."

"Very Funny, Malfoy. But I'm going up to room now."

"Wait.....I'm about to swim a few laps around the pool and I was wondering if you would care to join me."

Hermione paused and thought about Malfoys offering. Malfoy could see the waging battle in her eyes.

"Come on Granger. I don't bite. Well...not hard." He said with a slight smirk escaping his lips.

She finally gave in,"Fine. Let me go upstairs and change", Hermione exited out the door.

Malfoy chuckled to himself sliently as soon as he saw her exit out the door. He was getting to her already.

In a short while Hermione entered the indoor pool. But she didn't see Malfoy anywhere.

"Hello?" She called out as she walked in.

She suddenly dropped her towell. There was Malfoy's bare backside. She gasped so loudly that he heard her across the room.

She was staring mouth wide open. He felt like smiling, but he knew he had to hide it. "Could you turn around please"

Hermione was so shocked she didn't even notice she was staring. "Sure. Sorry." She quickly turned around having her back to Malfoy mumbling apologies. She didn't turn around till she heard the sound of him going inside the water.

She slowly took of her robe and left it on a near by chair and entered the pool. Draco slowly caressed her body with his eyes. He noticed her curves; her round supple breast; her long smooth legs that he would love to to feel beneath his hands. She felt his gaze and blushed slightly as she entered the pool.The water was just right; not to cold and not to warm.

Draco swam over to were Hermione was. Now was his time for the Malfoy charm to come out. "You Know you were right Granger." He studied her face slowly she was truly beautiful. Eyes you could get lost into. Lips full and lucious he would love to kiss.

"About what?" Hermione asked confused and curious at the same time. Her question brought him back.

"About me using women as a toys." She looked at him curiously. "But I swear that I have changed." He gently touched grazed his fingers along . He saw that his touch was having affect on her. But something inside her told her it was wrong and he could tell by the look in her eyes.

"I have a boyfriend you know." She said finally finding her voice.

"Oh yeah, the famous Harry Potter, but he can't give you what I can" He slowly leaned in and he noticed she moved in slightly. He knew she wanted this as badly as he did.

This is Wrong! Hermiones brain kept on screaming as they slowly leaned into each other, but this felt so right. Malfoy had a certain charm about him that was alluring. He was mysterious, alluring, and dangerous (what girl doesn't like a badboy). He had those amazing eyes the color of a cloudy sky that you could stare for hours and not get bored.He's hair a platnium blonde hair that she would love to run her hands through. But she hated him. Right? He was the enemy. He teases and laughed at her so many times. But she was being pulled in by him. Time seemed to slow down as she foudn herself closing her eyes. Just as his lips were centimeters away from hers she pulled away.

"This isn't going to work Malfoy. You trying to seduce me. I already know about your reputation: you will do anything to get me in your bed. The only thing I can offer you is my friendship but your already walking a thin line on that." Hermione swam to the edge of the pool and quickly got out before she decided to turn back to him.

Draco stared at her as she left. He was shocked. This wasn't going well he needed to get her in his bed before school started. He needed more time. He quickly got out of the pool. He was going to talk to Pansy.
