Summary: For Harry Potter and the gang, it's their final year at Hogwarts.
Hermione is head girl, and Draco is head boy. Although they still hate each
other with a passion, after a few encounters between the two, it's getting
harder to resist what they really want.
A/N: This is my first Harry Potter story, so PLEASE be gentle with the feedback, but give it, nonetheless.

Hermione didn't go to her room, instead, she left the common room and went in search of someone she could actually talk to; there was no way she could deal with this alone. When she left the common room, she saw Ginny walking towards her door.
"Hi Ginny."
Ginny gave her a sympathetic smile, "Hey, Mione; are you ok?"
"Ron told you?" Hermione frowned.
"No, Harry did."
"Harry knows?"
"Yea, Ron told him. I can't believe he did that to you. I'm ashamed to be related to that git."
"I'll be ok." Hermione smiled weakly.
"Good." Ginny returned her smile.
"Ginny, we're friends, right?"
Ginny smiled, "Best of."
Hermione grinned, "Good, then...can I talk to you about something?"
"Of course."
"Before I say anything, you have to promise me that you will not repeat a single word that I'm about to say. Promise me."
Ginny frowned, "Hermione, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's not bad; it's just...a secret. NO ONE can find out about this."
"Ok, I promise."
Hermione looked at the door to her common room and decided to go somewhere else, in case Malfoy decided to come out. She took Ginny's arm and they started walking.
"Ok, where to start. Umm, before Ron broke up with me, we kind of had a fight. Well, afterwards, I was really upset, and I did something I shouldn't have. I uh..." Hermione took a deep breath and spit it out, "IsleptwithMalfoy." It was all jumbled together like one word.
Ginny cocked her eyebrows, "I'm sorry, I thought you said you slept with Malfoy."
Hermione looked at ground, "I did."
Ginny's eyes just about popped out of her sockets, "You what?!"
"It was a serious moment of weakness. I know that's not an excuse, but it's true. I cheated on Ron."
Ginny thought for a second, "True, but that was only once; right?"
"Yea." Hermione lied. It was not the time to tell her about Anthony.
"Well, Ron was kinda cheating on you more than once. I mean, it was the same girl, but it started almost as soon as the school year started. He didn't tell you that, did he?"
"No, he didn't."
"I can't exactly be mad at you after what my brother did. Ok, enough about him; you slept with Draco Malfoy?" Ginny whispered.
"Uh, yea."
"Just once."
"Yes." Hermione said matter-of-factly.
"How was it?" Ginny grinned.
"Ginny, that's so not the point. Do you understand the seriousness of all this. I slept with Draco Malfoy, king of the Slytherins, sworn enemy of Harry Potter...not to mention myself. We've hated each other for the past seven years; how did this happen?"
"Good question; so, how was it?"
"Please Ginny." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Come on 'Mione; Draco Malfoy is like, the sex god of this whole school. You can't hold out of me."
Hermione smiled, "What do you think?"
Ginny squealed, "God, I can't believe you slept with him!"
"YOU can't believe it? But, that's not all of it."
"There's more? Do tell."
"Well, we sorta had a 'confrontation' tonight and he told me something that I don't think he wanted me to know."
"Such as..."
"He kinda blurted out that...he has feelings for me."
"Oh...my...god. Do you know what this means? Malfoy doesn't have feelings, and for him to tell you this is..."
"Scary."
"Huh?"
"I maybe, sorta have feelings for him too."
"You do?"
"Yea, and that's scary. I CANNOT fall for this guy. We'd kill each other; we're so wrong for each other."
"Yea, well; sometimes, doing the wrong thing can be a lot of fun."
"You're not helping Ginny."
"What do you want me to say?"
"Tell me that I'm making a big mistake."
"You probably are, but don't think of it like that; think of it as a new experience. Come on, aren't you even the least bit curious as to where all this will lead?"
"Well, maybe a little."
"And you just said that you both have feelings for each other. You can't just let it go, and forget it happened."
"How do you know all this stuff?"
"Years of practice." Ginny smiled, "Actually, it's common knowledge."
"Then why don't I have any of it? I'm just scared about what'll happen...between us."
"Yea, but that's a risk you might have to take."
"Yea, I guess you're right."
"I got loads of homework to do, but we're gonna finish this after dinner; and don't worry, you're secret dies with me."
Ginny smiled and gave Hermione a hug before heading back to her room.
~~
Draco stood up and walked over to his window and stared at the Quidditch field. A thousand thoughts were going through his mind and he didn't know how to deal with any of them. This was not happening; he was not falling for that goody goody Granger. He had gotten what he wanted from her, and that was it; or so he thought. Lately, all he could think about was her; her stupid wise ass comments, her determination, and her stubbornness. Those were all the things he loved about her; dammit. Like clockwork, Hermione came into his view when she stepped onto the Quidditch field. She was walking slowly, kind of like she was just wandering around. Draco kept his eyes glued to her as she walked; she looked like she was deep in thought; no doubt she was thinking about what he'd said. Things were only gonna get more complicated now; he knew that she felt the same way about him. The only leverage he had was making her think that her felt nothing for her; but now she knew, and now he was fucked.
Draco closed his curtains and left his room; there was no point in hiding from her; sooner of later, they'd have to look at each other. He grabbed a book from his bookcase, lit a fire, sat on his couch, and began reading his book. Not ten minutes later, the door to the common room opened and Hermione came in. She shut the door turned around, locking eyes with Draco. For what seemed like an hour, they just stared at each other, not a word spoken. Finally, without a word, Hermione went to her room and shut the door quietly. Draco stared at her door for a minute before going back to his book. He stared at the same sentence for five minutes before shutting his book, throwing it on the couch and going to his room. He sat at his desk and attempted to do his homework, but there was just way too much on his mind for him to concentrate; he had to get out of this place.
~~
Hermione sat at he desk concentrating on her homework...or at least trying to. The harder she tried to concentrate, the less she could. There was only one thing, or rather, there was only one person on her mind. She finally shut her books and started rummaging through her closet; she had to get out of here. Just then, she heard Draco coming out of his room. She listened to see if, by some strange chance, he was coming to see her. When she heard the door to the common room open, then close, she sighed and went back to looking through her closet. She finally settled on a pair of low ride hip huggers, a baby blue tank top, and black boots. She put on light eye shadow that matched her shirt, and light pink lipstick. She dabbed on a little of her favorite Calvin Klein perfume; then put her hair up into a messy bun, letting a few loose strands frame her face, before heading out her door.
As she crept down the hall, she thought about how she didn't really wanna go anywhere, but she also didn't want to stay in her room. When she got to the dining hall, Hermione took the piece of paper out of her pocket that Lavender had given her the first time she went to the club. She quietly said the spell, then vanished.
When she arrived in the alley right behind the club, she looked around to make sure no one had seen her. When the coast was clear, she emerged from the alley, only to run into a couple of guys that looked about her age. She eyed her for a minute before smiling.
"Hey baby." The first guy was about 6 inches taller than her with brown hair. He was quite attractive, but also very drunk.
"Where'd you come from?" The second guy asked. He was her height with jet black hair. He was equally attractive...and drunk.
She ignored them and tried to push past them. The taller guy stepped in front of her, "Hey, where you going?"
Hermione glared at him, "Anywhere you're not."
The other guy grinned, "Ooh, she's feisty."
"Why don't you two go sleep it off somewhere?"
The other guy stepped in front of her and she kneed him in the crotch. When he doubled over, the taller guy went to his rescue and Hermione just walked away.
When she got inside the club, she took a seat at the bar. The bartender, Steve came over to her, "Hey darlin, I was wondering if you'd be back."
Hermione smiled, "Kind of a last minute decision."
"What's your name sweetie?"
"Hermione."
"Beautiful name."
"Thanks."
"I'm Steve; what can I get ya?"
Hermione thought for a second, "A coke. Actually, make it a rum and coke."
"You got it."
Hermione looked around the place; she saw some people she recognized from the last time she was there, she saw some new faces, and she saw him. He was coming out of the bathroom. He was wearing boots, blue jeans, and a navy blue shirt with the first two buttons undone, and his hair was spiked up. As he was walking back to the bar, he spotted her, stopping dead in his tracks. Their eyes locked and it seemed like everyone else disappeared. Hermione wanted so badly to run up to him, jump into his arms, and kiss him like there was no tomorrow. Instead, she just tore her eyes away from his gaze and smiled at Steve when he brought her drink. She immediately took a drink, trying desperately to calm her nerves. Draco walked up to the bar and sat two stools away where his jacket and a drink were waiting for him. If she'd known that he was sitting there, she would have sat elsewhere. It was too late to run away, so she just kept her gaze in front of her and continued sipping her drink. Draco also kept his gaze straight ahead, and pretended like she wasn't even there. He wasn't trying to piss her off; he just had no idea what to say to her.
Steven noticed the mood Hermione was in, "You are far too lovely to look so sad. A penny for your thoughts?"
Hermione smiled lightly, "You don't want to hear my boring problems."
Steve chuckled, "Hey, isn't that what bartenders are really for?"
Hermione smiled.
"It's a guy, isn't it?"
Hermione sighed, "Is it that obvious?"
"How could a beautiful creature like you NOT have guy problems?"
Hermione scoffed, "Yea right. It's more like ONE guy problem."
Hermione glanced at Draco from the corner of her eye and decided that maybe this would be the best way to pour her heart out to him, without actually talking to him.
"You really wanna know?"
Steve nodded, "Only if you want to tell me."
The whole time they were talking, Draco just sat there, listening, but not even pretending to care. Steve refilled Hermione's drink, then leaned on the bar, all ears open to her.
"Hmm, where should I start? Let's see...for the past seven years, I've gone to school with this guy, and from day one, we've despised each other with a passion, and it seemed his only goal in life was to make mine miserable."
She paused to take a sip of her drink.
"Then one day, out of the blue, things changed...drastically. I tried so hard to resist him, but everywhere I went, he was always there. Finally, I just gave in, hoping it would all just go away; but things just got more intense. I tried to keep from having these feelings, but the more I tried to fight them, the stronger they got. I went through Hell because of this guy. Well, today he gives me this mind blowing information; well, mind blowing coming from him. Then he acts like it never happened. I finally realize that it's ok to be head over heels in love with this guy..."
When Draco heard this, he just about spit out his drink.
"...but then it all goes to Hell and we're right back where we started! God, he makes me completely insane. You know, maybe this is an omen; it's just not meant to be."
Hermione stared at her drink and waited for Draco to say something...anything; but nothing came.
She looked up at Steve, "But, no matter how much he tries, I know he likes me. When he told me he liked me, I think it was just a spur of the moment thing that he didn't mean to tell me, but I know it's true. It's just a matter of getting him to admit it and NOT take it back."
Steve looked at her for a second, "Well, it seems to me that if this guy doesn't realize how lucky he is to have a beautiful creature like you, then he doesn't deserve you."
Hermione finished her drink, then looked back at Steve, "Maybe not; but I do think that both of us deserve a chance to be happy, and I do want him."
A new song came on and Hermione grinned, "Ooh, I love this song!"
She jumped off her stool, ran to the dance floor, and started dancing.
Steve looked at Draco, "That girl's gonna break a lot of hearts."
Draco finished his drink, "Don't I know it."
He watched Hermione as she moved to the music.
~
Please baby can't you see
My mind's a burnin' hell
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
My heart apart as well Tonight you told me
That you ache for something new
And some other woman is lookin' like something
That might be good for you Go on and hold her
Till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her
When she tells you nothing's wrong
~
Without even looking behind her, Hermione could feel someone standing behind her close enough to touch. Without stopping, she reached behind her and took Draco's hands, and wrapped them around her waist, and held onto them trying to get their bodies in the same rhythm. She moved her hips from side to side, and back and forth following the rhythm of the song perfectly.
~
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
~
She let go of his hands and raised hers above her head, giving Draco's hands access to just about any part of her body. He ran his hands over her hips and down her thighs, then he brought his hands up to take a hold of hers and brought them back down to where they had started; wrapped around her waist. Hermione rested her head on Draco's shoulder and closed her eyes, concentrating on nothing but the song and their bodies moving together. Draco leaned down to breathe in her scent of Jasmine.
~
Please baby can't you see
I'm trying to explain
I've been here before
And I'm locking the door
And I'm not going back again Her eyes and arms and skin
Won't make it go away
You'll wake up tomorrow
And wrestle the sorrow
That holds you down today Go on and hold her
Till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her
When she tells you nothing's wrong
~
Draco took her hands and spun her around to face him. When their eyes locked, the whole world disappeared. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and closed the gap between them leaving absolutely no space.
~
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
~
Hermione stood on her tiptoes and whispered something into Draco's ear, "If you want to start denying that there's something between us, go for it; but I won't do it anymore." Hermione left Draco in the middle of the dance floor with her words ringing in his ears.
~
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
~
Hermione walked over to Steve, paid him for her drinks, then winked at him before leaving the bar.

That holds you down today Go on and hold her
Till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her
When she tells you nothing's wrong

Draco took her hands and spun her around to face him. When their eyes locked, the whole world disappeared. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and closed the gap between them leaving absolutely no space.
~
But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you

Hermione stood on her tiptoes and whispered something into Draco's ear, "If you want to start denying that there's something between us, go for it; but I won't do it anymore." Hermione left Draco in the middle of the dance floor with her words ringing in his ears.
~
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one

Hermione walked over to Steve, paid him for her drinks, then winked at him before leaving the bar.
