A/N : Hey everyone! It looks like I got this chapter up earlier than I thought I would! I hope you like this chapter! It's a bit boring, but it might give you an idea of what's to happen! Oh, and the song is 'Easier to Run' by Linkin Park from the album Meteora (it's a good CD!)
Chapter 4: Relationship?
(Hermione)
I was sitting in the common room, Heads of course, just reading a book, when the door burst open and Draco Malfoy comes stumbling in.
"Do paintings move?" He asked. I looked at him as though he had 5 heads.
"Um, well they do open and close, and they do talk so … er … yes … no…" I answered, trying to figure out just what he meant by 'move'.
"Well yes, but can they kind of 'step out' of the painting and move?" He asked me in annoyed tone.
"I don't know, I've never been in that situation before …" I started but was cut off by him yelling.
"I think that that dragon guy, in our painting, opened the painting up when I said the password from 10 feet away, came out of his painting, flew over to me, picked me up, and dropped me in here!" He yelled.
"Um, maybe you should go ask Dumbledore. Maybe we need to get a different painting … do you think so?" I asked, or maybe more told him.
"Maybe …" his voice trailed off as he seemed to pondered. "I'm going to go take a shower." He stated and then walked off.
(Draco)
I walked to the shower to think about something important. No, not the stupid painting. About Hermione. I didn't know whether or not to make a move.
So I took a shower and kept thinking about what to do. I finally decided.
I came out of the shower with a towel on, my hair kind of messy yet kind of good looking and walked to the common room.
I thanked the Gods when I saw that she was still in the same place as before. I paced over to where she was. I decided to do it.
I stood over her for a second, waiting for her to say something.
"Yes?" She looked up from her book and into my eyes. Oh, I wanted her, I wanted her badly.
"Do you want me?" I asked her. Her eyes widened and then her eyebrows furrowed as they did when she was thinking.
"Excuse me?" She asked me disbelieving. I stared her straight in the eyes.
"Do. You. Want. Me?" I asked her for the second time. She finally caught on and she began to look a bit pale and nervous.
"Um … I uh … um … ye- no … I no-yes. I …" She started trailing off, making not much sense so I decided to shut her up.
My lips crashed down on hers and I could tell she was shocked. But soon, she gave in and wrapped her arms around my neck.
I ran my tongue across her lips, waiting for her to let me explore, and finally, she caved.
(Hermione)
"Do. You. Want. Me?" Oh dear Gods, he couldn't really be asking me could he? Could he? Oh Gods he was.
"Um … I uh … um … ye- no … I no-yes. I …" I began answering. Oh, what would I say? What the heck could I say?
His lips covered mine and I was about to pull back but I decided against it.
I began kissing back and wrapped my arms around his neck. It must have been 10 minutes before I came to my senses.
I pulled away from him and stared at him hard.
"What is this? I mean, this, us, here, kissing, wow." I said breathlessly. So the rumors are true, he can take your breath away.
"I don't know. I want you, you seem to want me, so …" he began. What, did he just want a physical relationship?
"What are you looking for? Do you want someone to love or to just 'have' whenever you 'need' them?" I asked him.
"I don't know … I want someone who will care for me, but I don't think I want love. What about you?" He asked quietly.
I thought about for a bit. I was really just looking for something to do and kissing Draco was fun. It was forbidden and I liked that. Oh what the hell, I'll just have 'fun' until I want to settle down.
"Same. What do you say we finish what we started?" I asked him raising my eyebrows. He smiled and we were at it again.
(Harry)
The next day at breakfast, Hermione was all smiles and sunshine. I liked this Hermione so much. She looked so much better when she smiled and was happy. That's the Hermione I love.
But wait … when was the
last time I had seen Hermione this happy?
With Ron.
Oh dear Gods! That meant that this 'thing' was really exciting or she was with another guy. Oh please, don't let it be the latter, please, please, please!
If she was with another guy … I don't know what I would do. I loved her too much. What would I do?
(Ron)
Why was Granger (yes, Granger, I refuse to call her by her first name) so happy? She was giggling and laughing like mad today.
*Flashback*
Hermione was sitting directly across from Malfoy during Charms and she was acting quite weird.
I was watching her (for some reason unknown) and she began doing some weird things.
First she had been eating a sugar quill (Professor Flitwick doesn't care if we have candy as long as we pay attention) and 'accidentally' got some on her fingers. She put her fingers in her mouth and began licking them.
She was looking directly at Malfoy while doing this. His eyes widened but then he kind of smirked-smiled.
Then later on in Charms, she began licking her lips in a provocative manner and Malfoy began mirroring her. It was quite disgusting really.
*End Flashback*
I thought something was going on between the two … I just couldn't put my finger on it.
(Hermione)
Okay, Draco Malfoy. Only one word can describe that man … wow. He's hot, kind of nice (at least to me), and he's a great kisser!
I'm so glad we have this … relationship. It's like, if I ever want a good snog, I can pretty much just ask him.
I don't really see why he 'wants me' as he likes to put it but hey, if it works, it works!
(Draco)
I don't know why I wanted her, but I did. I found out that she wasn't that annoying, she was kind of annoying, but not too bad.
*Flashback*
"What is up with you and Malfoy, Mione?" Potter turned to Hermione and whispered during Potions.
"Harry, I don't know what you're talking about. We're Head Boy and Girl so we called a truce." She replied sounding a bit annoyed. That was a good cover though.
"Well, I don't like the things you two are doing." He stated meekly.
"Look Harry, I'm sorry if you don't like the way Dra- Malfoy and I are, and I know you're just being a good friend, but I'm a big girl, I can handle myself." She turned away at the last part.
She loved him. Deep down, she knew she did. She just wouldn't admit it. Maybe I shouldn't do this …
Wait, what was I thinking! I am a Malfoy! I get and do anything I want so I'll do this until she realizes it!
But it was still there and it felt wrong.
*End Flashback*
(Ginny)
"Mione! What is up with you? You've been acting, well … flirty with Malfoy … not that he's not hot but he's like, your enemy!" I exclaimed to Hermione.
"Alright, you cannot tell anyone! Especially not Ron. Okay, Draco wants me, I want him, we have a 'relationship' or so you could say." She replied smugly. I rolled my eyes.
"Is that it?" I asked her. Her eyes widened.
"I thought you hated him Gin!" She yelled. I rolled my eyes again.
"Well, what girl hasn't had a 'relationship' with the Slytherin King?" I asked her as if it was stupid to think you were 'special' with him, but honestly, you were.
"Well, I didn't really think I was 'special' or anything, I just didn't think that it was normal. That's all I guess …" Her voice trailed off and she blushed.
"I'm going to go take a shower." She mumbled and ran off.
(Hermione)
I jumped in the shower and thought about everything. I was one of those people that sang in the shower.
It's easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
it's so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
something has been taken
from deep inside of me
a secret i've kept locked away
no one can ever see
wounds so deep they never show
they never go away
like moving pictures in my head
for years and years they've played
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all my shame to the grave
It's easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
it's so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes i remember
the darkness of my past
bringing back these memories
i wish i didnt have
sometimes i think of letting go
and never looking back
and never moving forward so
there would never be a past
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all my shame to the grave
just washing it aside
all of the helplessness inside
pretending i don't feel misplaced
is so much simpler than change
I was just singing the last part before the chorus, when I felt a breath on my neck and then something being whispered in my ear. … The chorus …
It's easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
it's so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
I spun around to see who had decided to duet with me, and there stood none other than Draco Malfoy, in the nude!
