~*~*~*~ Chapter 22: Letters ~*~*~*~
HERMIONE'S POV
We ran into the Great Hall. "Hey, do you guys know what's going on?" I asked slightly out of breath.
"Hang on. Where is the rest of the school?" Draco asked.
"The teachers sent them all back to their dorms, apparently it was a drill in case something went wrong," Harry explained.
"Gees, that was fast!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, well, I'm going to go and finish of my letter," Hilary said.
"Yeah, I need to finish mine too." Said the others. They all walked away.
"I want to write to my mum too. Do you want to go back now?"
"Yeah sure," I said. I linked my arm around his waist and he put his around mine. We walked slowly back.
"Hey Draco, I think we have enough time to write letters. Why don't we go to your room for a while," I said with a wink.
"Yeah sure. We can finish what we started at the garden," he said and grinned at me.
We walked to his room. Once there he pushed it open.
"SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Draco stepped back out of the room quickly and whipped out his wand.
I laughed. "Relax Draco. It's your party." We went in and everyone greeted him. Mrs Moody had enlarged the room specially who we told about the party. The whole of Draco's Slytherin year was there, as well as a few younger friends of him. There were Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor seventh years. There was a large table of food and drink and decorations everywhere. Everyone stayed there late into the night and then at about one in the morning they all left.
"Wow. That was pretty big. Why did you invite so many people?" he asked.
"Firstly to make your party bigger and secondly to try and get people who weren't usually friends to become civil. I think it worked. I saw Blaise leave with Parvati."
"Oh ok. Now, do I have to help clean up, or what?"
"No I'll do it." I flicked my wand and the room instantly cleaned itself and shrunk back to its normal size. Harry and Ron had gone next door to my room. They were spending sometime with Lavender, Luna, Neville, Dean and Seamus. Draco still felt a bit comfortable around that many Gryffindor's so I decided to keep him company here.
"So, we have the room to ourselves. What are we going to do?" Draco suggested seductively. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and I leant back into him.
"I dunno. What were you thinking?" I asked. I was so tired, and I was so comfortable against Draco, I was nodding off against him.
"Well, I think that you for one are going to bed," he said. My eyes snapped open.
"No Draco, this is your birthday. We have to do what you want."
"Well then, come with me." I shut my eyes and he led me into his room. He let go of me and turned me around.
I opened my eyes and smiled at him. He lowered his head and kissed me so softly, I wasn't even sure he had. I ran my hands through his hair and pulled him closer. He ran his hands up and down my back. God he is sexy. I am so lucky to have him. I opened my eyes and smiled at him, while passionately kissing him.
He led me towards the bed. I fell onto it and he fell next to me. I wrapped my arms around him and continued kissing him. He ran a hand under my shirt up and down my back. I felt shivers down my spine.
I was still kissing him and subconsciously began to undo the first button on his shirt. He grabbed my hands.
"Not tonight Hermione. I want tonight to be slow. I just need to be with you." I was surprised hearing this. I felt kind of embarrassed pushing him a bit far, and relieved that he stopped me before I did something I could regret. I looked into his eyes. He was smiling at me. I smiled back at him and snuggled up to him. We wrapped his arms around me and mine around his, and pulled the covers up.
I fell asleep in about five minutes I was so tired.
It was still dark; I imagined it was about 3 in the morning. Hang on, this wasn't my room or my bed. My bed was much less lumpier than this. I moved a bit and realised I was with Draco. I relaxed and looked at him. The moonlight from the curtain was shining on his face and it made him look so peaceful. I hugged him tighter and kissed his forehead. He was fast asleep but I could see a small smile form on his face. He must be dreaming something good.
I lay there looking at him for ages. Finally my eyelids began to get heavy. I nestled back into his shoulder.
"I love you Draco," I whispered before I fell asleep.
