"What the hell are you doing, Malfoy?" I screamed at him. I tried to pull away from his grip, but he was too strong for me. "Let me go!"

"I can't!" he answered.

"Why not? All you have to do is to take about a mile of a step back, not to mention removing your hands from my wrist! It's not that friggin' hard!" I yelled.

He looked at me. "I think it's the potion..." His voice trailed off. So I decided to help finish it.

"Ya think?" I looked at him more seriously. "Malfoy! You have to control yourself! You have to!" 'God, he's hott.' Damn, I said it again.

He looked at me angrily. "Wait. Why aren't you feeling the side affects of it, Granger?"

'Oh, damn...he's actually noticing?' "I'm controlling myself," I stammered.

He cut his eyes at me. "What?"

I nodded frantically. I had to keep my eyes off of Malfoy...even though his clothes told everyone to look. "I am."

"So, you're saying that you think I'm sexy right now?" he asked.

'Omigod. Only Malfoy could be freaking out and still be ignorant.' "As much as I hate to sat it, yes." I gulped. "Now let me go!"

"Now that's interesting."

"Let me go!" I yelled once more. I didn't bother to writhe away from him, because we both knew what would happen, whether we tried to stop each other or not. He pressed his lips gently against mine; his skin was warm. He tried to pry my lips apart with his tongue, but I resisted and he persisted. He placed his hands on my waist and saw this as my opportunity to push him off me, but I didn't...at least not until Harry and Ron came out of the boys' bathroom fussing over it.

"Hermione!"

I turned my head and saw Harry and Ron, mouths agape. I leaned my head against the wall and said, "Shit" just loud enough for only me to hear. I looked back at Malfoy who was still looking at me, his hands still on my waist. He was breathing hard, and I could feel it on my neck even though he wasn't that close. I did what I could. I pushed him off me and stepped away from him.

Ron came running up to me. So did Harry. "Did he do anything to you?" Harry asked, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"Besides kiss her, I don't think so," Ron muttered under his breath, glaring Malfoy who was still standing there, obviously dumbfounded. Harry and I ignored his comment. He looked at me, his green eyes really boring into me. "Are you alright?"

I nodded. "I'll see you guys back in the common room okay?" I looked at Harry and Ron, who were looking back at Malfoy. I turned and looked at him, his eyes saying seduction, seduction. I turned back to look at Ron and Harry. "I'll be okay. Promise."

Harry and Ron looked at each other. Ron spoke up first. "Alright," then he walked away. Why'd he leave?

Harry looked at me. "Okay, but if you're not back in twenty minutes, we'll be filing for a search party."

"Is Ron gonna be okay?" I asked.

"I'll talk to him," Harry encouraged. I nodded and watched him walk away.

When he was out of my sight, I turned to face Malfoy. I walked toward him and saw his grin grow wide. "You can keep wishing, Malfoy." I bent down and picked up my books. I stood and looked him in the eye.

"Oh, I am."

I turned and walked toward the direction of the Gryffindor common room. 'I seriously hope that this stupid potion wears off by the time I get to my room. I'm not planning to go to sleep with someone drooling head-over-heels on the other side of the bathroom.' I knew Draco was still watching me from behind, but I acted like I didn't and continued on, thinking about Ron's feelings.
