' Okay, what the fuck just happened?' Hermione thought about the fact that she just read Harry's mind! Immediately she removed her grip from Harry's hand. He shot her a worried glance.

" Mione? Are you alright?" Harry asked, the worry was evident and written across his entire face. As if she was in a daze, she blinked wildly and nodded. The vibration that spread from her hand and up to her forearm seemed to disappear.

' I really must be losing it.' Hermione thought sadly as she continued to pick at her lunch.

" Are you sure that your hand is alright?" Harry asked getting up from the table.

" Yeah, I'm probably just imagining things, but I thought I saw my hand glow." She said with a sheepish grin. Harry cocked an eyebrow.

" Right, well, see you in class, I left my Muggles Studies book in my dorm." He said leaving. Hermione shrugged and pushed her plate away from her.

' Well, at least I have Ron to talk to.' She thought turning to her right, only to come face to face with another empty space next to her. Rolling her eyes, she got up only to be immobilized by the voice she dreaded.

" Aw, Potty and the Weasel left the poor little mudblood all by herself." Malfoy said drawling every syllable that came tumbling out of his mouth.

" I can say the same thing for you, where are the apes you call friends?" She said referring to Crabbe and Goyle. He ignored her little comment and grabbed her arm. Hermione yelped in surprise and had no choice but to follow the sodding prat that she despised since day one out of the Great Hall.

" Let go of me Malfoy! You stupid son of a …"

She didn't get a chance to finish her sentence as she was slammed up against the wall outside of the Great Hall. Draco's face was just centimeters away from her face and she shuddered as she felt his hot breath make impact with her neck.

" That little stunt you pulled today was a very, very naughty thing to do. You know that you are going to have to pay for it." He said in a seething tone. Hermione smirked and squirmed in his tight, but strong grip.

" I'm so sorry Malfoy, I didn't mean to leave you with any hard feelings." She said sweetly and fought to suppress her laughter by watching a slight pink color appear on Malfoy's usually pale face. She didn't know he was blushing or if he was just angry.

" Don't you dare mock me, Granger. You should be lucky that you're actually standing this close to me." He said with a wide smirk.

" Sure Malfoy, I'm just going to let this moment sink in and remember it forever." She retorted, looking away from him. She winched as she felt the grip on her wrists become even tighter.

" You can mock me all you want Mudblood, just remember this. Don't start something with me unless you plan on finishing it. This, sweetie baby, is a promise." He said inching his face closer to her. She looked away again but Malfoy turned her face with his free hand. Hermione couldn't look at him. He made her weak, and he always found new ways to break her so easily. Malfoy wasn't stupid and he sure as hell wouldn't fall for the same trick again if he's expecting it. So, there was only one conclusion: she was trapped.

" You're pathetic Malfoy! A desperate, pathetic loser only looking for a cheap fuck! Well, here's a news flash for you sweetie baby! Nobody gives a shit who the fuck you are! You're finished! Who is going to want you or love you now?" she spat at him with seething hatred.

Okay that was a mistake. She expected for the worse from Draco Malfoy, and braced herself for what was coming. Instead, something unexpected happened. He let go of his grip and took a deep breath. Malfoy turned on his heel and stalked away. Silence. That was all that was left from that so-called encounter. Hermione sighed awkwardly. She should be celebrating for joy since she finally told that bugger off. Then why does she feel like crap?
***********************************************************************

" No way! You told him that!" Ginny gasped as she and Hermione were sitting on a bench outside the school grounds.

" Yep, and he didn't do anything. He just….left." Hermione said taking a deep breath.

" So, apologize."

Hermione laughed. " Me? Apologizing to Malfoy? I said I feel bad, but not that bad!" she said trying to catch her breath.

Ginny frowned. " Well, this just seems to tell me that you haven't gotten any in awhile so you're taking it all on him."

This was Hermione's turn to frown. " What? Please! Just for you're information late night I…never mind." She said cutting her sentence short.
" What! Tell me!" Ginny replied eagerly.

" Nothing! Forget I said anything!" Hermione said blushing.

" Anyways, Hermione don't you read your horoscope? Well, I took the liberty today to actually read my friends daily fortunes and yours said that to trust you instincts fully and don't be afraid to run into the wall head on. It'll hurt but it will eventually break and renew." She stated proudly.

Hermione giggled. " What the hell does that mean? A wall? Thanks anyway Ginny, but I don't need any mumbo jumbo crap to tell me how I should feel or plan my day. I am big girl you know!" Hermione said smugly and got up.

" You know you sounded just like Malfoy just for a second there." Ginny said with a grin.

" Oh, sod off!" Hermione huffed and turned on heel walking quickly towards the school. She heard Ginny's schoolgirl giggle all the way to the entrance.
************************************************************************

Hermione quickly appeared in front of the portrait of the mermaid. Serena beamed down at her as she always does while greeting her and Malfoy. Of course, Serena was smitten with him and Draco did use his good looks to flaunt it. Hermione rolled her eyes at the thought. Catching the young girl's expression. Serena gave her a worried glance and frowned.

" Are you okay, Mrs. Granger? I hope I didn't do anything to underestimate your authority." Serena said a little timidly.

" Oh no! I'm sorry Serena! I was just thinking about something! I didn't mean to direct that at you on purpose!" Hermione said in a assuring tone.

The mermaid gave a weak smile and looked down at the water that surrounded her rock pedestal.

" Mer de Noms."

The portrait swung open to reveal the hallway to the common room. It had been a long day and all she kept thinking about was a certain blond haired boy.

She really didn't expect to see Malfoy in here at all, but there he was sitting on the red velvet plush couch. His face was glowing and it gave his pale face a sort of relaxing highlight. It made his skin color look ivory instead of ghostly white. He looked…just like an angel. A descending angel sent by the gods themselves. He was beautiful. Timidly, Hermione walked over to where he was sitting. It was nearly six o'clock and she was still shocked that he was here. She never did see him here in the evenings. Just only in the mornings and in the classes that she had with him. Well, this situation was now or never. She mustered all that Gryffindor courage and took a deep breath. He still hadn't noticed that she was even in the room. Maybe he did, but of course he was always so dignified to look at her when she entered a room with her presence. She cleared her throat. No answer or look. She cleared her throat again a little louder this time. Still no response.

That was it. " Malfoy!" Hermione called to the somewhat catatonic young boy. He seemed entranced by just staring at the fire. By just seeing the way it flickered and crackled in the silent room.

She snorted angrily at Draco and turned to leave, that's when she heard him sigh.

" What the hell do you want?" he replied coldly, not taking his gaze off of the fire.

" I just want to talk to you and…"

" What? I thought you didn't associate with losers." He said emphasizing every syllable.

Hermione winced. She did deserve that. She also grimaced about what she was going to do.

Carefully, she walked in front of him and kneeled. She made sure that she was in his field of vision. His eyes of molten blue and silver peered into her own brown ones.

" You didn't give me a chance to finish. Apologize. I'm apologizing for what I said today, but you still had no right to say what you said to me!" she said exasperatingly.

" Apologize? Do you think I care for your pathetic choice of words? Hell no. Also, what I said was true, so what's the problem?" he said smirking.

" You were trying to degrade me and…"

" So? That's where you belong anyway. Mudblood trash beneath the purebloods. You don't even deserve to walk on the same ground I walk on, much less breath the same air around me.

" Then why are you so persistent on getting me into your bed?" she questioned curiously.

Malfoy laughed. That same revolting evil laugh.

" Into my bed? Granger, I wouldn't fuck you if you were the last person on earth, I sleep with the most popular dead girl."

Hermione cheeks flushed with anger. She knew this was a bad idea. Stupid conscience! He was the wall and there was no way into breaking through him and rebuilding him? Now that's a different story.
" Why do I even bother wasting words on you? You're such a prick!" she screeched getting up and walking away.

" Don't forget, I'm a sexy prick." He said smugly, grabbing her arm.

" Malfoy, I'm warning you! Let me go!" Hermione yelled, trying to pull her arm free.

He laughed at her attempt to get free and pulled her forward, causing her to stumble and fall towards him. She was back on her knees again with his face several centimeters away. Her eyes fluttered shut as she felt his peppermint scented breath hit her face. The scent just seemed to linger and Malfoy's smirk grew wider by just looking at the affect he caused her.

" You're going to do what exactly?" he asked smugly.

" Well, I'm gonna…gonna…I'm." she said as she felt her heart start to race and breath quicken.

" Shh, that's what I thought." He said as he leaned in to kiss her.

' Oh, no you don't!' she thought and moved her head away. She smirked as she heard him give a quiet groan of frustration.

" Now, now Malfoy, we have all night." She said with a hint of mischief glinting in her eyes. He smirked reflecting the same feeling back.

" Oh Granger, just how fucking stupid do you think I am? All night? Right, now correct me if I'm wrong and I quote," he said, " the only chance you'll have with me is if I'm unconscious." He mimicked in a high-pitched voice.

Hermione frowned. Damn. Well, she always did imagine how it would feel if he planted those luscious pouty lips on hers. Now here's the chance.

" Malfoy."

" What?"

" Shut up." She said laying a hand upon his cheek and leaned forward to kiss him. He didn't turn away. Then suddenly that same familiar vibration she felt in the Great Hall jolted through like a rush of electricity.

' God, she's beautiful.'

Hermione pulled away and Draco hung his head and groaned.

" What is it now Granger?" he asked agitatedly.
" Did…did y-you just say something." She asked confusingly.

Malfoy looked back at her with a look of amusement hinted in his eyes and raised his platinum brows mockingly.

" No Granger I didn't say anything, but if you're into that kind of thing, I'm sure we can make some arrangements." He said wriggling his eyebrows seductively.

That was all it took. Now she realized this was why she despised Draco Malfoy as he face contorted into a look of disgust.

" You're such a pig Malfoy!" she said getting up.

Draco laughed. " Well, you weren't complaining about a minute ago now weren't you Granger?" he asked teasingly.

" I'm leaving to my room now." She said haughtily stalking off. Just before she could make one step he grabbed her by the hand. She didn't look at him and all she heard was the racing sound of her heart beating madly against her chest and Malfoy sighing.

" Oh, no, not this time Granger! You started this little charade, but I'm going to finish it whether you like it or not! So be a good little girl and take her punishment."

Before she turned around to face him, she could already feel his loathing smirk burning into her backside. Malfoy can't win. He just can't. Turning around she gave him her best sneer, but failed as her composure turned into one of regret and dread. This only made his smirk grow wider.

" Aw, what's the matter Granger? Don't like what's coming to you huh? Well, this should teach you to respect your superiors at all times. So, just sit back and take what's coming to you because I am going to will this." Malfoy said with that growing smirk turning into his world-class sneer.

Hermione frowned. She was scared. She knew what he was capable of; she just didn't know how far would he go? Her first thought was that he was going to rape her senseless and leave her as an emotional disheveled wreck of a human being. She didn't even notice that he was still holding her hand as she looked up and met his piercing gaze.

' Well, if Granger wants to fight fire with fire, then I'm going to be the one to put this game in a chokehold.'

Malfoy wasn't saying anything at all. In fact this situation was weird, he was just staring at her, but it was like he was actually talking to her except, he wasn't moving his lips at all. His voice rang through her mind and repeated itself like a song you can't just get out of your head. Why exactly was this happening? And why her? Maybe this was a gift? But why now? Why can I hear what people are saying? All these things and many more thoughts and questions ran through her mind right now. She smirked. She'll put these questions off for later on tonight, but right now, she was going to have fun playing a little one on one with Draco Malfoy.

' Put the game in a chokehold, we'll see about that. Let's see what else is going on through Malfoy's little mind.'

Hermione walked closer to Malfoy who was staring at her in amusement. For a moment, she looked like she had just seen a ghost, and now she was walking seductively closer to him with each small step. Finally, she put her hands on his chest as a reflexive instinct as she did this morning. Nothing. All was quiet once again. It wasn't until she felt Malfoy's cold, icy hand cup the side of her face to look at her. He pulled her forward, closing any negative and empty space that was distanced between them. All that was between them was the radiating body heat intertwining their wants and needs. But of course, they would never admit this feeling, right?

The jolt ran through her and struck her like a force of lightning. She sighed shakily as she felt Draco caressing her cheek and taking her face suddenly into both of his hands.

' She will be mine. I can feel it. Just a little more pushing and she'll be begging me to fuck her by the end of the week! Right now, I'll just give her a taste of her own medicine.'

' Not this time, Malfoy.'

She couldn't take it any longer. He wanted to play rough, okay then, so can she. Malfoy was vulnerable right now, and this was a perfect opportunity for her to teach him a lesson. No, he would not win this time around. Not just yet.

Catching him off guard, Hermione instinctively shoved back roughly on the couch. It was personal contact and concentration for her gift to work. Her mind was empty as she felt his touch leave her face. Malfoy looked up at her bewilderedly and surprised. Then he smirked.

" Whoa, Granger I didn't know that you like rough, so do I." He said reaching out to grab her hips, but she slapped his hands away. She had to suppress a giggle as she saw his face falter in one of a pouty child that just had his favorite toy taken away.

She moved closer to him and swung her legs over and sat down on his lap. She heard him suck in a breath. His breath was becoming shallower as she leaned forward and whispered in his ear.

" Really, Malfoy, I like it rough too, but of course you already know." She said blowing on his ear.

He was losing. ' Get it together Draco! She's just a Mudblood. She's just a Mudblood.'
Hermione smirked. " You know Malfoy, I'm going to tell you this so listen carefully. Once we do this, there is no turning back. I'm giving in, I want you, you want me and don't deny! After this, that's it, unless I'm guessing there are a few loopholes we can work out." She said wriggling her eyebrows suggestively.

" Is that okay with you? No exceptions? No little put ins?"

Malfoy shook his head.

" Good." She said moving on downward tracing the outline of his pants. No, she wasn't going to pull the same little stunt twice. She wasn't that boring! Malfoy was going to be in for a little surprise.

This was it. No exceptions and no regrets. She reached down to interlace her fingers with his and he obliged. The jolt of electricity rushed through her like a tidal wave.

' God, she's killing me! Hurry up!'

He was weak right now and had no force to retaliate. He was completely at her mercy.

She decided to give him exactly what he wanted as she reached down and slowly, but steadily undid his belt buckle with her free hand. With a flick of wrist the belt was gone and she finished the job by undoing his pants at an agonizingly slow pace. She wanted him to remember this. Getting down on her knees once again she grabbed the sides of his pants and slide them down all the way to his ankles. Straddling him once again, she felt Draco shudder in pleasure and his breath coming in deep, shallow intakes. He was definitely aroused. She smirked as she felt his hardness pressed up against the softness of her exposed thigh. Willingly she leaned forward and began to nibble on his ear lobe and licked the sensitive spots right underneath his ear as she held his hand with one hand and with her other free one, she outlined the defined edge of his hardness. Draco sucked in a breath. He was getting hotter just anticipating what she would do next. This time, she wouldn't get away so easily, or so he thought. After a few more minutes of Hermione lips seeking ravage on Draco's upper portion of hid body and her free hand willingly teasing him down there below. She smiled at her next anticipated and bold move.

' God, just a little bit more to the right.'

She stifled a laugh as she heard him groan in anticipation. This was it.

" Hey Malfoy, guess what?" she asked smiling at him, her face just centimeters away from his face.

His eyes fluttered open from his state of bliss, his face was slightly flushed, and his hair was mussed in a teasingly sexy way. She almost felt bad for about what she was going to say next.

He groaned to her response and threw his head back in pleasure as she began to teasingly stroke him through his boxers.

" You're being played."

She stopped his ministrations and got off him abruptly. She smirked triumphantly.

' No, not again!' he thought as his eyes snapped open in disbelief.

Regaining his composure he tried his best to make a rhetorical comeback and sneer, but failed miserably. She won and he knew it.

" Well, now it seems to me that you're going to be umm…busy at the moment so I'll leave you. Have a good evening Draco." She said emphasizing his name seductively and left to common room to her room.

Draco looked down at his current state and groaned frustratedly. Mother fuck. He really did get played. Again. But oddly, this only made him want her even more. Yes, Granger would be his. She just added some more power to his ignition. This game was far from over yet.

I already have titles for all my chapters so sit back, I'm so glad you guys are starting to enjoy this story!

On to the questions and thanks you's:

MistressDeDraco: Thank you so much for your pleasant review. Now the answers to some of your questions. Yes, her new 'abilities' were a reaction from the potion that was spilt on her, but she doesn't know that yet cause its still so sudden. Eventually later on, she'll figure it out. No, she won't lose them when she goes back when she goes back to Madam Pomfrey cause like I said it's still to soon and there are still some conflicts along the way, but I will tell to expect a few surprises when she goes back for her check up. Yes, again on the physical contact, skin on skin retail in order for her to read their mind but no on the color-changing thing. It just glowed weirdly to show that it is present within her system for HER eyes only to see. They are in 7th year and I forgot about the whole Cho thing and being a year older than the trio. That was a mistake so my bad! But it fits right? Yes, she did sleep with Ron but this whole thing will be cleared in the next chapter and the thing is that Harry doesn't know…Plus, I was a little tired of reading that Hermione is a helpless inexperienced virgin but knows what she's doing, but no offense! Mostly all of my favorite stories are based on that scenario but I just wanted to do a little twist and turn the tables. She's experienced, not a slut! Again in the next chapter, you'll find out with who. So I hoped this answered you questions and again thanks!
