A/N: Thanks again for the reviews. By the way, I need to know if there's someone still interested. If there were anything you'd like me to change or add, do it in the reviews. I'm open for suggestions. Ok, there maybe a few side romance between the 2 best friends but I still like Draco and Hermione better. One likes her to be independent as that is her strong point and the other likes to control her. Sorry about the grammar, I'm typing as I think and sometimes my mind moves faster than my hands and the grammar checker sometimes doesn't make sense either. Sometimes, we have slangs too in our country and I may have not noticed using it. It made sense to me but might not make any sense to others. Sorry! Besides, I'm not an American so I'm entitled to make mistakes. Sorry if I sounded harsh. BTW I have classes again so it may affect the story and updates.

Chapter28:
Test
Harry and his friends had a big test on Transfiguration the following week. The troop went to the library to study for it. Hermione had made an outline for them to follow. At first they were all silent trying to understand their notes, but as always, the Gryffindors found their way to Hermione. She always had complete notes and to ask for clarifications. Every one was tensed about the test because there was word that McGonagall would put everything she's worth into this test and it's freaking the hell out of all the Hogwarts students.
Neville and Dean were frequent visitors of the trio's table. They needed Hermione's help desperately. Hermione was kind enough to lend a hand. While everyone was busy studying there was someone thinking about other things.
Harry was thinking of how good a friend Hermione was. He couldn't even think of surviving Hogwarts without Hermione. If there was one thing he is thankful for about the troll in his first year, it would certainly be for letting him be friends with Hermione.
Hermione may have changed physically but that was not the reason he was attracted to her. It was only the means that made him accept the fact that he likes her. He had admired her for her mental capacity, strength of character, loyalty and her wit. She was in control of her world. Hermione likes him for himself unlike others who like him for his reputation. Cho was only a displacement of his affections. Ron was the first to notice Hermione's attributes and that was one reason he didn't recognize the strange feeling he's had with her. Besides, who else would know her better qualities than her best friends? And also, his friendship with her and Ron was the best thing that has happened to him. Because of them, he had found a new family. Sirius may be his godfather but no one can deny that he has spent more time with his friends.
He considered summer to be his hell while other Hogwarts students would think otherwise. (Snape can be such a big ass.) Hogwarts is his home. Gryffindor is his family. He cannot risk loosing his friends. Ron was the brother he's never had and Hermione is. 'What is Hermione?' He has yet to find out.
Harry still thinks that having a different relationship with Hermione is a big risk. He wouldn't be serious about it but since Ron made no big deal about it, he'd be willing to take the chance.
Hermione was discussing something with Neville and Harry took the opportunity to take in the beautiful person that is Hermione. Every time he looked at her, he realizes that Hermione is different from any other girl. Hermione was independent and he knew how to please her. There were other independent girls like Cho for example who are independent but they did not have the conviction Hermione possessed. He didn't want any girl who'd suck up to him like what Ginny was beginning to become like. He just couldn't see himself being involved with a yes-man kind of girl. Conflict makes a relationship better. Without it, then you'd end up bored with your partner. Yup! Hermione was perfect and he wouldn't want to change her.
~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione kept noticing Harry staring at her when he thought she wasn't looking. She can actually do two things at a time perfectly. So while she was helping Neville, she has been watching Harry's unusual behavior. 'If he needed anything he should say it.'
When Neville kept returning later on, she got bored and started to anticipate what Neville was going to ask next. She ended up memorizing the whole lecture this way. She was wondering what was on Harry's mind. 'Was that admiration I saw in his eyes?' She questioned as she caught a glimpse of him staring at her. Her heart started to change its rhythm. She looked down ashamed that someone might see her blush. 'Stop it! That's your best friend. Don't put meaning into something that doesn't have any. He just admired you for being smart and helpful nothing else.' She keeps on denying not knowing how to react. She let her mind drift as she nodded at something Neville was telling her.
'Why can't I dream about something pleasant? Harry's much better than the other.' She sighed thinking of the different ways why Harry's better than Malfoy. 'Physically, I must say I'm attracted to them both. Although I must give credit to Malfoy for having done well with his abs. Harry has a quick mind. So does Malfoy.' Her thoughts were now arguing. There's a part in her that's rooting for Malfoy's abs and the other for her best friend.
'Yeah but he only uses it to irritate people, while Harry uses it in good ways.'
'It's not Malfoy's fault that he's not being hunted down by Voldemort.'
'Harry's a better man inside and out.'
'Malfoy hasn't any chance to prove himself yet. Besides, you still do not know him too well.'
'I know him well enough to know that he is dangerous, while Harry's safe.'
'Safe means boring!'
'Harry's a good friend and I know that he cares. He's dependable.'
'Again, BORING!'
'Harry's a friend and he wouldn't hurt me. Wouldn't it be better to have a boyfriend which is your best friend as well?'
'Would you rather destroy the friendship?'
Hermione's other mind couldn't think of a comeback. She treasured their special friendship and wouldn't want to do anything that can harm it. 'Why in the first place am I thinking of a ferret when there are better things to think about?'
"Uh, Hermione? Are you alright?"
"She's alright Neville. Sometimes she escapes to her world to relax a little."
"Oh, I'm really sorry to bother you." Neville started to leave feeling a little embarrassed.
Hermione snap from her thoughts and said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something." She glared at Ron for the remark he said earlier. She liked being on top of things and it didn't hurt to know that her friends recognize it.
~~~~~~~~~~
The test was over. It wasn't really as hard as she thought. Actually, there wasn't any difference to the kinds of test that McGonagall usually made. Her friends started to mob her trying to compare answers. She wanted to stay but she still had the extra potions class. She declined giving her answers and headed straight to the potions lab.
Harry saw her fleeing and tried to stop her. "Hermione, wait up!"
"If you want her to reply I'd say you should call her like this. Herm, wait a minute!" Harry jabbed Ron in the ribs. He didn't want to anger her. "OW!"
It produced the reaction Ron was aiming for. She turn around took giant steps toward Ron as she glared at him. "What!?!"
"Harry wanted to talk to you."
Hermione didn't have time to be affected by what he said and turned to Harry still wearing the icy glares as she raised one of her eyebrows.
Harry however blushed at what Ron just said, "Nothing really, I was just wondering if you'd eat first before you go to Snape?"
Hermione noticed that she was taking it out on Harry and softened her face. "I only have a few days for this class and I want to finish the potion that he taught me."
"Yeah, what class are you going to take for the 2nd period?"
"I'm taking Defense Against the Dark Arts next. I'd do everything to avoid Snape." Ron was quick to answer.
"I guess I'll be taking Charms and Transfiguration then."
"That leaves me with Snape." Harry had a disgruntled look about his face.
"It'll be alright Harry, I'll help you out." She looked at Harry and smiled. "Is that all?"
Harry was mesmerized by her smile and couldn't talk. Ron nudged him at the back. He was shook from his surprise but only managed a nod. And then she left.
"What the hell was that for Ron?"
"Act naturally man. Do you want her to feel weird around you?" Harry sighed and shook his head.
"Do you think she's a bit too excited about going to Potion's?"
"Maybe."
"Why don't you fetch her later? I think she'll like that."
Harry thought it over as he walked to the Great Hall.
~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione was excited to reach the lab. She wanted to finish the potion last night if Snape would've allowed her. It was an invisibility potion that needed some serious skills and you know Hermione loved challenges. She came and found the room occupied by somebody. 'He's already here? Doesn't he have anything better to do with his time?' Hermione caught a glimpse of Malfoy setting up his cauldron. She decided to ignore him like she usually does. She dropped her things on one of the tables, considerably far from him. She also started to set up her cauldron. She sat down and started to wait for Snape to arrive. The ingredients room was still locked so she couldn't continue her work. She got out one of her books on Charms and started reading it. She got absorbed at what she was reading that she didn't noticed that 30 minutes had passed.
"Did you come here to read? I thought you do that in the library and not here?"
She looked up from the book and glared at Malfoy. She looked at her watch and realized that she had been reading for a long time and that Snape was running late. She looked at the door to see if he was coming.
"Why haven't you started with your potions yet?"
"Obviously since he's not yet here to open the ingredients room."
"He's not coming tonight, didn't you know?" He put his smug face into position.
She glared at him for being so arrogant. "Did he say anything else?"
"He did leave me something." He didn't answer her question. He wasn't wearing his robe just some pants and a shirt. He pulled a key from his pockets.
She noticed that that was the key to the other room. She got up and headed straight to him, clearly very irritated. 'Why didn't he say anything sooner? PRAT!' As she reached him she put out her hand and asked for it. "Hand it over Malfoy."
"You know, Snape entrusted it to me."
"I wouldn't lose it. Just hand it over. You can watch me anyway."
"Not till you do something first." He saw her eyes glimmer the familiar irritation. "Do as I say, and I'll let you use the key." He loved having the power to control her.
Hermione was preparing for a fight but thought otherwise. She knows that Malfoy will not concede and it would be best for her to follow his orders. The only thing she can think of that Malfoy would want her to do is to kiss him. She was preparing herself for it. She didn't want to feel embarrassed, she would like it to look like the kiss meant nothing. But she can't help the way her heart started beating fast. She wasn't sure though if it was because of irritation for his arrogance or because of anticipation. She walked towards him and looked down at him.
Draco sat down as she started thinking of the consequences of his proposition. He watched every move that she made. She took of her robe and let it hang on her chair. She was wearing a white blouse and a denim short skirt. 'Arrogant little mudblood, why would she be wearing a white top when she's conjuring potions? It's as if she's proclaiming that she wouldn't make any mistake. Not that she has but still.'
He couldn't think straight because now, she was standing in front of him. 'Her eyes were exceptional up close.' He felt an urge to kiss her especially since she's leaning like that. 'What the hell is she doing?'
He stared into her eyes and saw it closing. She was coming closer and closer. His heartbeat kept getting faster as the distance decreased. Then it hit him, 'She thinks that I would like her to kiss me eh.' He slanted his face and prepared to taste her.
Hermione closed her eyes and though, 'Here goes nothing.' Her lips touched his and the unusual tingling feeling suddenly returned. She noted how soft his lips were. There was something building in her stomach and felt dizzy. She needed to hold onto something to steady herself.
As Hermione closed in the space, the hunger that he had for her started to surface. His hands settled at her waist to keep her from moving. One of his hands came up to her chin and lifted it up to kiss her thoroughly. He brushed his tongue on her lower lips and felt her open her mouth in shock. He didn't waste any opportunity so he slid his tongue to completely taste her. She started to protest but he wouldn't have any of it. 'She's the one who started this. Not my fault it got out of hand.' When she got used to the idea of having a foreign tongue inside her mouth she felt new a tingling building up inside her. She didn't know what to do. She was barely got used to kissing someone and now he's doing something new.
Draco felt her tense up. He started to caress her face to calm her nerves. He was having a hell of a time too with his own nerves. He didn't think that a kiss from her would have such an affect like this. It's as if the more you get from her the more you get addicted and want more. She was like a drug to him. He was already feeling different sensations with her being a passive kisser but he's hunger was still there. He wanted more. He teased her tongue to imitate what he was doing. Hermione was a bold person. She didn't back down from any challenges neither will she do any of the sort here.
She must say, she was enjoying every second of this kiss and wondered if she could increase the satisfaction. She started to move her tongue and felt something intense running inside her. She clung to Malfoy desperately needing support since her legs weren't working properly. She hasn't felt anything like this before it was draining yet stimulating.
Once her tongue started moving, he felt like devouring her right there and then. Although her tongue moved shyly, it brought back different familiar sensations back to life. He knew he had to stop because these sensations only lead to one thing, and besides, he noticed that his little mudblood was breathing in short gasps and in need of a little air. He backed of and closed his eyes as if locking the sensations that he was feeling. Hermione on the other hand was trying to recover from the kiss. She turned away embarrassed at what she just did.
That gave Draco the chance to finally start thinking again. "I didn't think that those glares you've thrown was an invitation for a kiss. Don't worry, I'll remember that from now on."
Hermione felt her face turn red and tried to calm herself down. 'Why that arrogant prat, one would think that I was the one who constituted the kiss!'
"Now that that's done, let's get on with the proposition I've asked you earlier shall we?"
'What in hell is he talking about? What the hell does he want from me?' She turned her around, completely recovered and looked at him questioningly.
He saw a glimpse of fear in her eyes and he loved it. "What? You think I wanted you to kiss me? I must admit there are some girls who'd want to spend time with me but I didn't think you were one of them?"
Hermione's mouth dropped open. 'Why the arrogant son of a bitch!'
Draco wanted to laugh at her expression but decided on the smug look.
"Why you arrogant slimy git!" She was going to continue but was cut off.
"I just thought that you could help me out with this potion that Snape gave me." He said truthfully. He didn't want to ask for her help because of their status but he didn't want to look stupid in the eyes of the only professor that he respected. He did give her credit for being able to accomplish whatever was assigned to her. He knew that the only one that could help him in this advance potion was she.
"Why didn't you stop me from making a fool then?"
"You were so generous, I didn't want to decline. Besides, I didn't ask you to."
"You did imply though."
"Don't act as if I've robbed you of anything, you gave and I brought it upon myself to receive. I know that you took pleasure in kissing me. Correct me if I'm wrong but you did kiss me back."
Hermione knew he was right and got really pissed because of it. She couldn't do anything at all though, she wanted to finish the potion and by all means she'd do so. "Fine, what's your problem?"
A/N: Thanks again for the reviews. By the way, I need to know if there's someone still interested. If there were anything you'd like me to change or add, do it in the reviews.
