A/N-Sorry for the delay in this part I had it typed but I couldn't post it , so sorry. Okay , just a warning you'll probably choke on the fluff here , but you'll probably appreciate it later because after this part it gets kinda angsty. For all of you who asked for longer chapters I hope you're happy with this , thanks for your reviews on the last part , I hope you'll review on this one. If you want to see my ideas for an Emma/Tom fic then read my authors notes at the end of this chapter. Oh yeah, and in this fic Blaise Zambini is a girl , I really hope in the next book it clears up what gender she is.

House Elf Relations Chapter 8

Three weeks later Ginny and Jaime had joined the newly renamed S.P.E.L.L and Harry and Ron were still ignoring them for being traitors . But Hermione found that she didn't care all that much , she missed them of course , but after spending more time with Draco she'd found that they had alot in common , such as they both loved to read , they were both overachivers , they had both read Hogwarts : A History and they both had a liking for muggle movies.

On saturday morning Hermione and Draco were sitting quietly next to each other , in the library , working on their potions homework.

" Have you ever had a boyfriend ?" Draco asked quite suddenly causing Hermione to jump and put a line of ink across her essay.

" Yes , you know that I have , remember last year." Hermione reminded him , while erasing her mistake.

" Oh yeah , Krum. What was with that anyway ? Frist off he was a duck-man , plus he was like four years older than you , he must be a bit of a pedophile if you ask me." Draco stated sitting back in his chair.

" Well nobody did." Hermione snapped playfully , looking up from her essay. " And he was only three and a half years older than me."

" And that's so much better." Draco scoffed. " You got a thing for older guys Granger."

" How so ?" Hermione asked raising her eyebrows in an inquisitive manner.

" Well you went out with Krum , you had a crush on Lockhart and you so obviously want me." Draco explian cockily.

" How old are you ?" Hermione asked him , putting down her quill and leaning back in her chair.

" Sixteen , notice how you didn't deny that you want me ?"

Hermione just smirked at him and said. " Why are you sixteen ?"

" Well , I believe that I'm sixteen because sixteen years , 7 weeks and 4 days ago I was born." Draco explained sarcastically to her.

" What I meant was if your sixteen why are you in fifth year , shouldn't you be in sixth year ?"

" Well as I'm sure you know , I was rather...shall we say vertically challenged then , well the year before that I was even shorter , so father kept me back until I grew some more." He explained.

" Well you're certainly not vertically challenged anymore." Hermione commented at his ability to tower over her , with him standing at a respectable 6'2.

" It's good being tall , makes it easier to look down girls shirts." Draco commented. " Although if you're short it is easier to look up their skirts."

" You actually look down girls shirts ?" Hermione asked disbelievingly.

" Yes , what do you think I'm doing now." Draco smirked as Hermione's head shot up to see that he , in fact , was not looking down her top. " Made you look."

" Haha." Hermione said sarcastically , then tried to change the subject. " So what are you doing next weekend ?"

" Well , I was thinking of going to Hogsmeade, would you like to join me ?" Draco asked politely.

" Ummm , no , not really , thanks for the offer but I've got so much work to do..."

" Too bad , you're coming with me , you still owe me a date, remember ?"

" But aren't dates for , oh I don't know , people who are actually dating ?" Hermione asked sarcastically.

" Yes , but to be dating , you have to go on a date first." Draco argued , the conversation turning into a debate.

" But to go on a date there has to be a pre-existing romantic relation...." Draco had shut her up the only way that seemed appropriate , he kissed her firmly on the lips , stunned at first Hermione was to shocked to respond , but when she did , instead of pushing him away like he thought she would , she pulled him closer and deepend the kiss. Finally , after a minute or two , she pulled away.

" I shouldn't have done that , you shouldn't have done that. That never should of happened." Hermione said firmly , moving away from him.

"Why ?" Draco asked moving closer to him.

" Because your one of my best friends and well , I just can't help but think that you'll just use me."

"I'm not going to use you , I like you , I mean really like you , in a way that I've never liked anyone before. Because of you I haven't had sex..." He took a deep breath and paused for dramatic effect. "...for a whole two weeks."

" Yeah , well I haven't had sex for fifteen years Draco. I'm sorry if two weeks doesn't sound all that impressive to me." Hermione said sarcastically. Then she saw the hurt look in her eyes and her tone softend to a more gentle one. " I like you Draco , I do , but I can't go out with you , not yet anyway. I'm sorry." Gathering her things she began to leave the table.

" I understand could you just do one thing before you leave ?" He asked , also standing.

" What ?" Hermione asked softly , not turning to face him.

Grabbing her arm gently and turning her to face him , Draco once again pressed his lips to hers. She responded helplessly , by throwing her arms around his neck as he moved her back against a bookcase as he deepend the kiss , bringing his tounge into play. Roughly three minutes later he pulled back. " Tell me you'll be my girlfriend ?" He asked. After a few moments of gazing into his eyes , she gave him an answer. " I will." and once again claimed his lips with hers.

Half an hour and many kisses later they finally returned to their work.They sat for about fifteen minutes , shooting each other sideways glances and shy smiles when one caught the other staring at them.

" This isn't going to work." Draco stated slapping his hands on the table in fustration.

" What !?! But you said you really liked me and now you've made me really like you and you want to break up already." Hermione babbled on oblivious to Draco's look of confusion.

" Umm, Herm , I meant that I'm not going to be able to concentrate on this bloody essay , when all I want to do is kiss you." Draco explained , taking on of her hands in his.

" Right , of course...I knew that." Hermione stuttered , blushing furiously and looking away.

Taking her chin in a frim grip , Draco turned her head to face him.

" I don't want to break up with you , in fact the way I feel now I don't think I'll ever want to break up with you , because if I did I wouldn't just be losing my first girlfriend , I'll be losing my first friend as well." He said leaning in and resting his forehead on hers.

" I'm hardly your first girlfriend Draco." Hermione said disbelievingly.

"Yes , you are. All the other girls I never thought of as my girlfriends , they were just , I don't know , I guess they were just like fucktoys to me. But you , you're different , I don't even want to have sex with you."

" What !?! Why the hell are we even going out then ? So you can manage to want to have sex with anything with a pair of legs and breasts except me ? What the hell is wrong with me , huh ?" Hermione ranted , standing so suddenly that her chair fell to the floor.

" I didn't mean it like that." Draco explained also standing and putting his arms around her waist. " It's just that you said that you wanted to wait until you're in love , so I didn't want to get my hopes up." He said pulling her closer to him.

" Oh , right , I did say that didn't I." Hermione said , her blush from her previous outburst returning. " Draco ?"

" Hmm ?" He said burying his face in her neck , pressing soft kisses to the smooth skin he found there.

" Are you going to cheat on me ?"

" Well it's not like I'm planning to." Draco said flippantly , barely raising his head form her neck. Pushing away from him a little Hermione said. " Draco , I'm being serious."

" So am I , even when I'm just fucking around with girls , I do it one at a time , I don't start with a new one until I'm done with the old one. I have slept with many girls but I've never cheated on any of them." He said drawing her back into his arms.

" Good. Draco since we're being honest , just how many girls have you slept with ?" Hermione asked looking up at him.

" You really don't want to know that." Draco said looking away.

" If you don't tell me now I'm always going to think about it , so please tell me." Hermione said , slipping her arms around his waist and pressing herself against him.

" Okay , but remember you asked. It's about 35 give or take." Draco admitted having enough manners to try and look ashamed.

" 30 girls in nine months , can you even remember their names ?" Hermione asked a tad shocked at the number of girls her boyfriend had fucked.

" Sure I do , in order to. Frist there was Fluer Delacour , then Jessica Parker , then Sarah Willis , then Megan Sheffield , then Blaise Zambini , then..."

" Okay , okay. That's enough." Hermione cut him off. " Boy this honesty thing's fun."

" Anyway the point is what I felt for these girls , doesn't even compare to what I feel for you and that if you want to have sex that's fine with me , but if you don't then that's fine with me to." Draco told her in his soft , husky voice , rubbing her back comfortingly. Hermione smiled up at him. " Kiss me." Was then only thing that she had to say.

" Finally something I wanna do." Draco said before once again claiming her lips with his. A few moments later the clock chimed ten. Reluctantly pulling back from the kiss , Hermione said. " I gotta go , I told Ginny I'd meet her at ten."

" Can't you stay a little while longer ?" Draco whined , while nuzzling her neck.

" I'll be late." Hermione weakly protested , half heartedly pushing him away.

" So you'll be late , but happy." Draco said sliding his hands lower and moving into kiss her again. They kissed for several moments before Hermione pulled away. " I really have to go." She said distancing herself from him and busying herself with gathering her things together.

" Where are you meeting her ?" Draaco asked coming up behind her , wrapping his arms around her shoulders and kissing her cheek.

" Astronomy Tower." She said turning and kissing him softly on the lips.

" Really , is there soemthing about the two of you I don't know about ?" Draco joked.

" What do you mean ?" Hermione asked turning in his arms.

" Well , is there any particular reason you and the youngest Weasley are meeting in the most popular meeting place for young lovers ?" Draco asked , raising her eyebrows.

" You think me and Ginny are having it off." Hermione stated blandly. " And what would you do if we were ?"

" I'd ask if I could watch." Draco said , rather turned on by the idea of the two girls together. " Then I'd ask if I could join in."

" Well then it's probably a good thing that me and Ginny are just friends , isn't it."

" There you go , getting my hopes up again." Draco commented pulling her closer to him.

" Among other things." Hermione teased pushing herself away from him. " Now I really have to go."

" Can I walk you ?"

" Draco , we both know that if you walk me , we'll end up making out in a broom closet and I'll never get to see Ginny." Hermione said moving away from his tempting arms.

" Of course I know that. Why do you think I suggested it ?" Draco said moving closer

to her once again.

" Draco , I'm ten minutes late , I'm going now." She said firmly inching towards the exit.

"What no goodbye kiss ?" He asked giving her his puppy-dog face.

" Fine." She ran back and pecked him on the lips and then ran out of the library before he could touch her.

At half past ten Hermione skidded into the Astronomy Tower with a silly grin on her face.

" Sorry I'm late." Hermione apologized , unable to keep the smile from her face.

" That's okay." Ginny said as she turned to face Hermione , then she noticed the bright smile her friend had plastered across her face. " I know that smile , you kissed Draco didn't you ?"

" Maybe. Hey Gin , can I ask you a question ?" Hermione asked sitting on one of the brightly coloured cushions that littered the room.

" Depends on what it is. If it's to hear my philosphies on the meaning of life , then I can't help you." Ginny said taking a seat across from Hermione.

" Don't worry it's nothing that extreme , I was just wondering how did you become involved with Draco ?"

" You did kiss him , didn't you ?" Ginny asked leaning in slightly.

" I asked you first."

" Fine he used his famous pick up line on me and then..."

" Famous pick up line ?" Hermione asked confused.

" Yeah , he uses it on all the girls he wants to fuck." Ginny explained.

" What is it ?" Hermione asked rather interested in the turn the conversation had taken.

" It's so stupid , now that I think about it , but when I first time I heard it , it just drove me crazy." Ginny said with a whistful look in her eyes.

" Well what is it ?" Hermione asked impatiently.

" This probably isn't going to sound as goo coming from me but it's , ' I believe you are what you eat and in the morning I want to be you.'" Ginny said rather embarrassed.

" So what he said that and you just jumped his bones ?" Hermione asked confused that a smart girl like Ginny could fall for that.

" No then he said ' Do you want to fuck ?' and then I said ' Yes' and then I jumped his bones."

" So he didn't ask you to be his girlfriend then ?" Hermione asked apprehensively.

" No , I don't think he would ask anyone that , everyone knows that Draco's got a phobia about commitment. If he ever asked anyone that he'd have to be really serious about them." Ginny commented , as she did Hermione's grin got even wider.

" Well then I guess it's safe to tell you that , I am now the official girlfriend of Draco Malfoy." Hermione announced. Ginny shrieked and threw her arms aound Hermione.

" I knew that he liked you , but not that much , congratulations , you realize that every girl here is going to hate you right ?" Ginny said pulling back.

" Even you ?"

" Maybe a bit. There's just something about Draco that makes you love him , I can't explain it but I think a part of me is always going to have feelings for him." Ginny admitted. " But you have nothing to worry about , I'm with Jaime now and I haven't even seen Draco look at another girl for at least two weeks. You are one very luck girl Hermione."

" I know. I don't know if I love him yet , but I think that I could very easily." Hermione said looking down at her hands which were folded in her lap.

" Well once you get to know him , Draco is very easy to love." Ginny said.

An hour later , Hermione felt as though she was flying ,she was so happy. As she opened the dor to her room the first thing she noticed was Lavender curled up on her bed , bawling her eyes out.

Concerned , Hermione quickly went over and sat next to the crying girl." Lavender what's wrong ?" She asked putting an arm around Lavender's shoulders.

Raising her tear stained face from her hands , Lavender choked out two words that would bring Hermione's new found happiness crashing down around her. " I'm pregnant."

A/N- How's that for a cliffhanger ending ? It might be a while before I can get the next chapter out , so I figured that this would be a good palce to finish this chapter.

Okay there are two very small Buffy quotes in there , anyone who spots them both will get a cookie from the next chapter , you can leave your answers in your reviews or you can e-mail me at theundeniableantichrist@hotmail.com . Draco's pick up line comes from the movie The Wog Boy. Okay so here are some of my ideas for a Emma/Tom fic that I won't start until I finish this and Hurricane. Tell me which one you like best.

1. On the way to the L.A. premiere of PoA the plane crashes and they get stuck on a tropical island with Rupert and Dan.

2. Tom comforts Emma after the death of Richard Harris.

3. What they really did at the Scooby Doo premiere.

4. Ten years after PoA , they meet up again on a movie set , with Emma as the star and Tom as the director.

Okay I have more but can't be bothered to type them out , tell me which one you like best and tell me what you think of this chapter in your reviews.
