Chapter 11: Room of Requirement
In the morning Hermione woke up and met with Lavender Brown in the common room. They went down to breakfast in the Great Hall together. As they sat down Lavender asked, "Hermione, what was that all about yesterday?"

"Oh, nothing." said Hermione fast.

When Hermione was almost done eating, an owl came towards her and dropped a letter on her plate. Hermione opened it. It was a very small note.

"Meet me in front of the Room of Requirement. 6:00."

Hermione's heart pounded, what did Draco have in plan for them? A smile spread over her face. Lavender asked, "What's up?"

"It's nothing." replied Hermione.

Hermione got up from the table, said good-bye to Lavender and headed to the Gryffindor common room. When she got there, she took out her books, parchment, and quill and started to do some homework. She had gotten a lot of homework for the holidays and she thought it best for her to finish it today, since she had nothing else to do. She planned that she would do some homework and then go see Hagrid.

Hermione decided that first she would do her Transfiguration homework. Professor McGonagall had given them a foot long essay on animagies.

When Hermione was done with Professor McGonagall's essay, she started on her potion's essay for Professor Snape. He had given them a ten inches long essay on the Polijuice Potion.

It must have been around 4:30 when Hermione finished her homework. So she went down across the lawn to Hagrid's hut. She knocked on the door and Hagrid opened.

"'ello Hermione!" Hagrid said cheerfully.

"Hi Hagrid. Harry and Ron have gone to the burrow, so I thought I would come see you." she said as she went in.

"How nice o' ya. So, how's school?"

"It's good." replied Hermione.

"Wan' a cup o' tea?" asked Hagrid.

"Sure." said Hermione.

"So 'ow come you didn' go 'ome?" asked Hagrid as he poured the tea.

"Um. Oh well I had a lot of homework to do. Hagrid, how's Grawp?" Hermione asked as she took a sip of her tea.

"He's a'right. Makes me very proud. You know, with the talkin' an all." replied Hagrid.

"That's wonderful. What words can Grawp say now?" Hermione asked, amazed at how interested she was at Grawp's well being.

"Well le 's see. He can say 'agrid righ', wand, wizard, forest, 'ello, and Dumbledore." Hagrid said beaming.

Hermione looked at her watch. It was five thirty. So she said bye and left Hagrid's hut and started towards the Gryffindor common room to get ready for what was to come at six o'clock. She couldn't wait to see Draco again.

Draco was already set and went to the Room of Requirement to wait for Hermione.

When Hermione was ready, she got out of the Gryffindor common room and headed toward the Room of Requirement.

Draco was thinking of the things that he would like the room to be equipped with. He must have been in front of the door for about twenty minutes when he saw Hermione walking towards him looking more beautiful then ever. He was so happy that he had thought of the Room of Requirement.

Hermione went over to him. Both of them were smiling at each other.

"Hi." said Hermione.

"Hey." said Draco as he hugged her, "Shall we go in?"

"Ok." replied Hermione. She was a bit nervous.

They entered through the door. Inside was the most romantic vibe ever. It was dim with scented candles, flower petals and red silk pillows. In fact, almost everything, even the lamps were covered with red silk. And there, in the middle of the room was a bed also covered in red silk. Hermione also realized that there was chocolates I red wrappings everywhere. She remembered hearing Ginny say that chocolate is the food of lust.

Hermione gasped when she saw all this. Even Draco's jaw dropped. Draco went over to Hermione, kissed her and asked in a lustrous voice, "Surprised?"

"Yes, Draco!" Hermione said as she looked up at Draco. Draco leaned down and they started to kiss again. They went, without breaking the kiss, all the way to the edge of the bed. Then Draco broke the kiss and pushed Hermione onto the bed. Then he laid next to her and they began to kiss again. Slowly, the kiss began to intensify. So much that without noticing, Draco was on top of Hermione. Draco put his hand over Hermione's shirt and started to unbutton it. Hermione did the same as well. Soon both their shirts were off. Draco took his hands to Hermione's back and started to undo her bra. Then Draco slowly moved his hands to Hermione's chest and started to caress her breasts. Two minutes later Draco moved on to unzipping his and Hermione's pants. Hermione had never felt so wonderful in her life. But all of the sudden, Hermione said, "Um.Draco, I'm really sorry but don't think I'm totally ready for this yet. I'm soo sorry!"

Draco was greatly disappointed but said, "Yes, yes of course you aren't. What was I thinking?" Draco knew very well that he wanted tonight to be the night, but could never force Hermione into it.

Hermione and Draco, now feelings slightly uncomfortable, started to put their clothes back on. Draco took Hermione back to her common room, and left without a word.
