Chapter 5: Pain

(A\N: Usual, Thanks to my Reviewers! If you want to see anything happen to let me know so I can try to add it in. And now back to the show. Sorry but my Beta Reader didn't get a chance to edit this because I wanted to post it before my Mid Terms, but after Mid Terms I promise to have it edited and reposted! Thank you.)

In any normal circumstances Hermione would have kissed back, fell in love, and shagged the boy senselessly. But this was anything but an ordinary situation, this was Draco Malfoy, her worst enemy. She stood there in shock as Draco kissed her passionately, like he really had feeling for her. One hand held her against the wall while the other caressed her face softly. What the hell am I gonna do? Suddenly she lifted her knee and Draco's jewels were umm… no longer priceless!

"I warned you, no funny business!" She ran as fast as she could down the hall.

She turned into the prefect bathroom, she found her toothbrush and began scrubbing her entire mouth. Disgusting! What the hell was he thinking? I mean how could he? I mean he is an okay kisser, what the hell, he's a frigging awesome kisser but still it was Draco. You can't say you didn't enjoy it though…yes you can! IT WAS DRACO!

When Hermione, went to dinner later that day she wasn't surprised that Draco wasn't there . His pride was probably hurt and if that wasn't in pain his balls sure as hell were. She took her usual spot between Ginny and Harry.

"Hey, why isn't the food being served?" She inquired.

"Dumbludore has an announcement and he wants our full attention. Something happened to one of the students I suppose. By the way your breath smells really good." Harry said.

Hermione just smiled.

Just then Dumbledore stood, "Today one of our students was found in an abandoned corridor. He was severely injured and in a great deal of pain. We are not aware of the circumstances that placed him in that corridor but if anyone knows any details it would be of great help." He went to sit down and someone called out, "Who was the kid attacked?"

"Draco Malfoy." Dumbledore said simply. Hermione suddenly didn't feel well and then she passed out.

*******

Later Hermione woke in the Hospital Wing where Madam Pomfrey was standing in front of her. "What…Happened? Where-"

"You fainted, dear. Apparently, you swallowed a bit too much toothpaste."(A\N: I know that is one of the lamest excuses ever, but it's something I haven't seen anyone use. Plus I really needed her in the Hospital Wing, and I sure as hell wasn't gonna make her go on her own free will!)

"How long have I been hear?"

"About a day."

"Can I leave?"

"No you most certainly may not! You could have poisoning. I want to observe you for a couple more hours." She left the room.

"Damn Malfoy! He's such a slimy git!"

"Am I really that bad?"

She hadn't seen him laying on the bed next to her. She was quite surprised to see him there with ice on his package. "What are you doing here?" (A\N: Like it's not obvious!)

"Your feed back to the kiss was...umm...a bit painful to say the least."

"You deserved it!"

"Oh come on, like you didn't enjoy it!?" He stood. Hermione looked quite surprised. "I'm fine, I been faking for the last twelve hours waiting for you to wake up."

Hermione's response was a quiet, "Why?"

"That kiss. It was uncalled for and...stupid and pointless! All I can say Granger is that you changed, and it wasn't for the worst. When I look at you I see something, I don't know what exactly but- " (A\N: I know Draco is totally OCC but this little 'confession', that what I call it, will help the story later on because it will be recalled in later chapters!)

"I hate you!" She was trying to decided whether or not she actually believed it or not. "You the goddamn reason I'm in here, you're the reason all this shit is happening!"

"How is your swallowing too much toothpaste my fault?"

"If you hadn't kissed me I would have brushed my teeth for an hour strait! And no there is no exaggeration in the lapsed time! Look, I don't know what you're going through but whatever it is just leave me out of it!" She started walking towards the door, Draco followed slowly.

"Do you hate me that much?"

She stopped at the door, a mixed look of anger and frustration in her eyes, "Yes…No…Yeah…You know what I don't know! And really I don't care!"

She stood in the doorway, not knowing whether to run or stay or what to do period. By now Draco was close to her and she was wishing she had run. He slipped his arm around her waist. She tried her hardest to get out of grip but she only wound up closer to him.

"Do you remember why you're here? Let's not have a rerun!"

(A\N: OMG I turned into fluff!!!!)

"I'll take my chances." He leaned in to meet her lips surprisingly she kissed back. NO! She pulled back, it took all her strength but she slammed Draco against the doorframe and ran. She didn't stop until she got to her room and she didn't come out for the rest of the day.

(A\N: I sorry that this is so short but really I wanted to get a chapter out before Mid Terms. So I probably won't post for a week! I am so sorry, I hate exams more than I hate Britney Spears and that's saying something! But if I don't want to fail out of 9th grade I need to pass these things with flying colors! That isn't gonna happen. But I promise to write a really long chapter when I return! Please R&R!)
