Chapter 18- You Might as Well Make it Good
~*~
Hey everyone! I am one day late with my posting but that isn't too late…is it? Anyway this chapter is definitely my favourite as Hermione goes mad and completely out of character! I hope you all like it!
Disclaimer: if JK ever wrote trash like this she wouldn't be a millionaire by now that's for sure!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I can't believe I wrote some of the stuff that is in this chapter as it is more risqué then anything I have ever written before! It is my first attempt at VERY intimate kissing so I have no idea if it is any good. Anyway just beware if you are offended by that kind of thing!

Hermione stared at Draco's motionless form then turned to Harry burying her head in his chest and letting silent tears soak into his robe. Ron looked at the defeated Slytherin then marched out of the hall just as Pansy entered it.
"Draccy!" she screamed when she saw him
Harry tried to usher Hermione out of the great hall before Pansy saw them but he had no such luck. "You." The pug faced girl hissed pointing a finger at Hermione. "This is all your fault. Draccy hasn't been the same since he started to go after you!"
Harry continued to hustle Hermione along, certain that she wouldn't want to hear whatever the snotty nosed Slytherin had to say. But Hermione resisted.
"What do you mean?" she asked shrugging Harry off as he once more tried to escort her out of the room. But Pansy, obviously realising she had said too much clapped her hand over her mouth and rushed from the hall. A loud clattering sounded on the stairs and a few seconds later the Ravenclaws' arrived.
"Merry Chr…" Jeremy began as he saw Hermione and Harry but he stopped as his eye fell upon Draco who was just coming round. "What happened here?" he asked sternly. Harriet and Cho appeared behind him. Harriet immediately rushed forward to help Draco whilst Cho who had just noticed Harry gave a small squeak and rushed from the hall. Harry moved to follow her but then realised he had to stay for Hermione's sake and went back to her side. Hermione shook her head and pushed him away gently.
"No go after Cho, I'm alright." Harry looked at her sceptically, "No really," she insisted, "I'll go find Ron."
"Well, if you're sure…"
"I'm sure, go!" Hermione gave him another shove in the direction Cho had fled in and he left, then she went over to where Harriet was bending over Draco.
"Here, let me take him." She said softly grabbing Draco's arm and hoisting him up. Harriet looked like she was about to protest until:
"Oh for Merlin's sake would you stop being such a goody-two-shoes? I'll take him!" Hermione pushed past Harriet and Jeremy both of whom were standing in shocked silence at her outburst.
***
Draco chuckled at the new Hermione who propelled herself and him through the enquiring pack of Hufflepuffs they met on the stairs without so much as looking at them. When Ronan put out his hand to stop her she simply dodged it and ploughed on dragging the Slytherin with her.
"Hermione…ouch!" as soon as he had opened his mouth she had fiercely dug her nails into his arm, "what was that for?" but she didn't answer him and so he resigned himself to the fact that he was about to spend another few boring hours in the hospital wing. It was only when Hermione dragged him into a classroom in a corridor far away from the infirmary that he realised that she had something else in store for him. She released him finally after locking the door and casting a silencing spell on it and, to his astonishment, one on him too so he couldn't utter a sound. Rather sulkily he settled himself on a desk and inspected his arm where five perfect half moons were imprinted on his pale skin. He showed them to her furiously, anger igniting in his eyes.
"Oh get over it." she snarled taking him once more by surprise, "Now you are going to listen to me Draco Malfoy and you are going to pay close attention to what I am going to say." She took a deep breath and pointed her index finger at him in a condescending manner. "Enough is enough I'm not going to take anymore! I'm dating Ronan now and I really like him. I love my best friends and I love my fellow Gryffindors and I love my muggle family and I love Hogwarts and learning. Do you see something missing? You! I don't care about you, I've never cared about you and that is how it is going to stay! I don't care about you but I'm not going to let you get killed! I didn't do anything with Ron last night and you know it. You have to stop this rubbish with me, now! Now, before it's too late and you are hurt really badly or even killed. It must stop! You can't keep kissing me in corridors and stirring up my friends. Pansy told me all about how you decided to 'go after me' and I can only guess that it has something to do with Voldemort. I'm not going to pretend that it doesn't scare me but I know that with Harry and Ron I can get through whatever you are trying. In fact I've discovered a spell that will keep you away from me, observe!" she whipped out her wand and whispered something that Draco couldn't hear then she walked towards him but when she was about a metre in front of him he felt a force somewhat like a warm hand pushing him back. He tried to struggle against it but it was no use. He toppled backwards off the desk. He got to his feet glowering as she giggled quietly. "So you see," she continued, "even if after my little speech you wanted to come near me, you can't." suddenly a daring look came into her eyes and she whispered something to herself before going round the desk to stand in front of Draco. He moved back expecting the force field to come into effect but it didn't and he realised that she must have ended the spell the second time she had whispered to herself. Then he was confused, "What are you playing at?" he said but no sound came out and he threw up his hands in frustration, his bewilderment plainly showing in his eyes. Hermione had obviously understood what he had meant as she leaned forward so close that her lips were right next to his right ear.
"No game," she whispered in a voice that sounded suspiciously seductive, "Well what are you waiting for? This is the last time I am going to let you kiss me so you might as well make it good."
'Did I just say that?!' she screamed inside her head
'Did she just say that?!' Draco thought dazedly. But it seemed she had so he leant back and cupped her face with his hands. He looked into her eyes and saw a flash of fear and he remembered their recent kiss and how he had treated her. Determined to ease her qualms he gently traced the length of her jaw with his finger and placed butterfly kisses all over her lips. She melted into him and began to softly kiss him back. After a few moments when Draco judged she was ready he parted her lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth. She met him with equal passion and their tongues danced around each other until Hermione pulled back gasping for breath. Once she had gathered enough oxygen Draco pulled her back against him and let his body mould against hers, so close that they could feel each others heart beats pounding in their chests. He placed his lips against hers briefly and softly before lowering his head and kissing her neck. She stiffened slightly but as he continued to slowly caress her neckline with gentle kisses she relaxed and even let out little sighs of pleasure which made Draco's blood start to pound in his temples. Once she was fully comfortable with him kissing her neck he nipped her soft skin, hard, which made her yelp and pull back slightly. Draco's tongue shot out and he smoothed the skin over before beginning to suck gently on the bruised area. As he pulled away he saw with some satisfaction the redness flowering on her pearl white skin. He raised his lips back to hers and ferociously kissed her, pushing her back ever so slightly until her back hit the wall. Her hands wound themselves in the hair at the nape of his neck and his hands which had previously been wrapped around her small waist began to roam as they had the day before. One hand slid up and down her waist in soft circles tickling her gently and the other hand crept down to the hem of the short red dress she had worn in honour of Christmas*. As his cool hand touched her flesh Hermione jumped and relished in the soft tingle she felt at his contact on her bare skin. His kisses were once more passionate and she was finding it increasingly hard to concentrate and keep any sort of will of her own. His hand on her thigh slid up dangerously high before descending again to her hem. This continued for several minutes before his other hand moved up and landed perilously near her breast.
'This has to stop, now!' Hermione thought to herself desperately but she made no move to push him off her. 'Stop being so weak.' She told herself fiercely and with a great effort she managed to pull her head back and break their kiss.
"That's enough now Draco."
If he had had his voice he would have had a witty come-back but as he didn't he did the next best thing. He located the red mark on her neck and bit it again even harder this time so she let out a scream of pain which turned into a moan as he began to suckle on her skin again.
"I said stop!" she yelled as he moved up to kiss her again. Hermione pushed him away from her and ran to the door where she turned to face him
"I'd go see Madam Pomfrey about that voice problem you are having." She said cheekily.
"As long as you come with me to see about that bite on your neck." He mouthed back at her.
A look of horror crossed her face and he hand flew to her neck, she winced as she touched the tender spot and she gave him a furious glance before turning red and hurrying from the room.
'Well,' though Draco as he started towards the hospital wing, 'that was certainly interesting.'

* No one noticed (including me!) that she didn't actually get dressed when she went up to her dormitory in chapter 16! I have gone back and revised that chapter so she didn't go to breakfast in her pj's!

It is actually kind of difficult to write the same genre with the same characters in two stories at the same time, but I'm not complaining. I really love to write!
Bye-bye
