Chapter 3
Inquiring Minds
End Flashback..
Hermione woke up to the feeling of something sliding up her leg. She gave a quick start, but then began to feel that familiar tingling sensation between legs.
"Good morning, sweetheart." There lay a very naked Draco, snaking his hand up her thigh.
Now Hermione remembered the previous night. They had been together a whole, wonderful year. Of course Draco still acted the perfect Slytherin in front of the entire school. Hermione pretended to be hurt by his callousness, but secretly pined for their secret meetings.
They would meet in the Astronomy tower, behind the stands at the quidditch pitch, and in any available broom closet. The summer was dreadful for both when they had to be separated. They couldn't even owl lest Draco's father find out.
As usual she stayed the last two weeks of the summer at the Burrow with the Weasleys. There, Harry and Ron grew curious about Hermione's withdrawal from the world.
When they returned from summer break they could not believe their luck when they were announced as Head Boy and Head Girl.
It was like fate was working for them for once. Although, Harry and Ron still didn't know. They could sleep in the same room, cuddle on the couch in front of the fire, or even take a bath together in their Jacuzzi if they wanted.
The only person who knew about their relationship was Dumbledore. He had to know, being as he was the one who had Draco spying on Voldemort.
Draco's beatings and his mothers had stopped since he believed Draco to be on his side.
"Honey, what are you thinking about?" Draco placed a kissed on Hermione's brow, wrinkled in thought.
"I was thinking about the progression of our relationship."
"All goods thoughts, I hope." smiled Draco.
"Of course. When ever I think about us, it's always good. Hey, we have to get ready for class. Let's get up." Before Draco could react, Hermione was already dashing to the bathroom.
Draco came in behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I have a quidditch match against Gryffindor today. Will you come and cheer me on?"
"Well, I can't openly turn against my house. I have to wear the Gryffindor colors, on the outside."
"What are you implying?" asked Draco, raising an eyebrow.
"That if you use your imagination I could possibly wear matching green bra and panties." She leaned up and pecked a kiss onto his pouty lips.
She finished getting ready for class with a smirk on her face similar to Draco's.
Hermione sat next to her friend Ginny on the Gryffindor side cheering on her house.
"Isn't Harry handsome? He's so athletic, charming, and sweet."
"What ever you say Ginny. He's just Harry to me. Ron's doing much better isn't he?"
Hermione tried to divert Ginny's attention off of herself; she was trying to watch Draco. He had tried for the snitch twice now. Harry had knocked him off track both times.
Hermione knew Draco still hated Harry but tried to stay out of his way for her. Harry was just being plain old belligerent to Draco. She was surprised Madam Hooch hadn't called unnecessary roughness on Harry.
Slytherin was currently in the lead 80-50 when Hermione noticed that Draco was headed for the snitch.
'Draco really needs this win. I don't know if he can take losing to Harry again, on top of being courteous to him.'
Hermione was nearly on the edge of her seat. It looked like Harry was going to get the snitch.
"Hermione, what are you worried about? You know Harry is going to get it."
"I know. I'm just nervous. You never know what could happen in a game of quidditch."
'Come on Draco. I know you can do it. Just go a little faster.' Hermione's silent cheering made no difference. Harry did a spiral dive and grabbed the snitch with two fingers.
"Whoooooo, HARRY!!!!!!! Go Gryffindor!!!!! Hermione, did you see that. Harry won the game. Again." Ginny was screaming and jumping up and down.
Hermione hugged her friend and made her way to the Gryffindor common room for the celebration. Butterbeers were passed around, and the students were merry.
When she noticed how snockered Ron and Harry were (Harry, was in a corner making out with Ginny, unbeknownst to her brother Ron), she made her way out of the common room.
Harry went in search of another butterbeer Ron came up to him in a huff.
"Harry, have you seen Hermione?"
"No, she's probably fed up with all the drinking and went back to her room to read a book." Harry nearly stumbled his way back to a chair.
"I'm just wondering what's been going on with her lately." scoffed Ron
"What do you mean?"
"Well, last year she started staying up a lot, sneaking back in to the dorm late, and forgetting about homework. This year, now that she's Head Girl, she hardly talks to us anymore."
Harry thought about this for a second then replied, "Well, she has a lot of responsibilities now as Head Girl. She has to plan things, and patrol.."
"Yeah, with Malfoy!" spitting out the name as if he could taste it's sourness in his mouth.
"What? Ron, are you jealous of Malfoy?"
"NO!!" cried Ron
"Yes, you are. Don't be, this is Hermione we're talking about. She would never do anything with that silly git." reassured Harry
"Your right. I don't know what I was thinking."
"Good, now let's hurry. There's more butterbeers to drink, and girls to snog." Laughed Harry.
Over the next couple of months Harry began to rethink his advice to Ron. There were only three months left until graduation and he began to notice Draco and Hermione watching each other a lot.
Whenever Harry would talk to Hermione in the Great Hall she always seemed distracted. When Harry would look up Draco would be staring at Hermione. Once during potions with the Slytherins, Harry looked up from his cauldron to see Hermione smile and giggle when she caught Draco gazing at her.
"Miss Granger! Kindly pay attention in my class. 20 points from Gryffindor for interrupting my class. What is so interesting to take your goody-good attention away from my lesson?" sneered Snape
"Ummmm..." Hermione tried to think of something to say
"Why don't you ask Malfoy? He seemed to have something to do with it." Shouted Harry
"Malfoy? Why would he have anything to do with Miss Granger's outbursts?" asked a leery Snape.
"I simply banged my knee on the desk. Don't drag me into your girlfriend's mess." answered Malfoy.
"Yes, and I thought it was funny the git was hurting." Explained Hermione
"Well then. Another 20 points from Gryffindor for Mr. Potter's outburst. Now class, get on with your potions. And Mr. Longbottom, please don't screw it up, I don't feel like changing colors today."
'Could this really be happening?' Harry wondered. He would just have to confront Hermione about it before he mentioned anything to Ron. He didn't need one of his best friends blowing up at the other one for no reason. Harry decided to wait for Hermione after class.
As soon as the last student left the classroom, Hermione went over to Draco and kissed him with all her pent up frustration.
"I love you. You know that, right?" asked Draco as her pulled away from her breathlessly
"Yes, and I love you too. I really wish we could just tell everyone though."
"I know, I do too. But you know what would happen if my father found out..."
"I know, I just wish that's all."
Just as they were turning to leave, Hermione's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she collapsed to the floor.
