Chapter 10: Drawing Attention
Draco had removed his shirt and had just pulled down his pants when Hermione had come out of the bathroom. He was wearing boxers, but when he had pulled his pants down, they had slid down exposing his ass.
"I'm sorry." Hermione said as her hands flew over her eyes, her cheeks turning bright red.
"It's okay" Draco said as he stumbled and caught himself on the bedside table. "Is this going to make you uncomfortable?" Draco asked referring to him sleeping in his boxers. Hermione shook her head, hands still over her eyes. "You can take your hands down, I'm covered." Draco laughed.
Hermione let her hands down, cheeks still flushed, and walked over to the King-sized bed. Draco slid into bed as did Hermione, leaving enough space between them for another 2 people.
"Good night Granger."
"Good night Malfoy." Hermione blew out the candle, leaving them in the darkness of the starless night. Hermione layed and listened until Draco's breathing leveled off and she knew he was asleep then fell asleep herself.
*********************************************
Hermione awoke the next morning with her head laying on Draco's muscular chest. She had her leg wrapped over his and he had his arm under her neck and around her shoulder. Hermione looked up into his face. He was already awake and staring at her.
"Morning Granger." Draco said.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Hermione said as she tried to get off of him, but her held her in place with his strong arm. "Why didn't you just throw me off?" She asked still trying to move.
"Calm down Granger. You were asleep, its no big deal." Draco relished the fact that he finally had her in his embrace.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked with a smile.
"I've got a pounding headache, but other then that I am fine."
Hermione sat up, pulling herself out of his arm, and walked to her desk. She walked back and handed Draco two small tablets.
"It's not poison..." Hermione laughed at the expression Draco held. "Its Excedrin Migraine, it will get rid of your headache." She said as she handed him a glass of water. Draco popped the pills and downed them with a gulp of water. Hermione sat on the bed next to him and rested her hand on his chest. "So what are your plans for today?"
"I don't know, hadn't even thought about it."
"Well, i have plans with Ginny... Will you be ok?"
Draco was crushed, he wanted her to stay with him. "I'll be fine."
Hermione stood and walked to her closet to grab some clothes. After taking a shower, she quickly got dressed and left the dorm.
Hermione found Ginny in the Gryffindor common room.
"There you are... I thought that you forgot." Ginny said when she entered.
"Of course I didn't.... I kinda got held up a bit, but I'll tell you about it later." She whispered glancing over at Ron and Harry who were playing wizards chess.
"Hey 'Mione" Ron said as her directed one of his pieces to move.
"Hows things going?" Harry asked
"Quite well, actually..." She said as her and Ginny took a seat.
"Ferret boy isn't giving you trouble is he?" Ron asked
"No, hes been quite civil." Hermione told them. Ron and Harry both looked at her with disbelief.
"Really" Hermione assured them.
"Are you ready to go?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah." Ron said as he scooped the pieces off of the board and put them away.
Hermione had promised to take them all to Hogsmeade today, being as she was Head Girl she was allowed to go whenever she wanted. She hadn't realized just how much her two best friends had changed until they were walking through the castle to leave. Numerous girls giggled ridiculously as the said 'Hey Ron...' or 'See you later Harry'. One even stopped Ron and talked to him in a giggly voice, then kissed his cheek and walked away. Ron's eyes followed after her, until Ginny punched him in the arm. "What?" Ron exclaimed.
Ron was at least 6'3, lean, with a slightly muscular build. His arms, however, had developed nicely, they were very muscular, but not to the point of making him look ape-ish. He had grown his hair out and it continuously fell in his face and he'd sweep it out of his face with his hand.
Harry, on the other hand, was quite muscular. All of the Quidditch practices had done him good. His hair had tamed down a bit, but was still untidy. He had even gotten rid of his glasses and gotten contacts which made his green eyes shine even brighter.
She didn't see the appeal. She never thought of her friends like that, but obviously every other girl at Hogwarts had.
Hermione slowed her pace as they walked across the grounds, putting a few feet in-between herself, and Ron and Harry who were laughing and high-fiving each other.
"What was all that about?" Hermione asked Ginny who was walking along side her.
"I don't know, its been like that since we got back to school. Haven't you noticed?" Ginny asked.
"No, I guess I hadn't..." Hermione stated
"Yes, well, its put quite a strain on my relationship with Harry."
"RELATIONSHIP??" Hermione was shocked. "Since when... I mean, in your letters you said you guys were just fooling around a bit."
"Quite a lot actually." Ginny grinned "The second night were back, I was sitting in the common room reading and Harry came down. He sat next to me and pulled me into his arms, and I snuggled up to his chest..." Ginny told her as she acted it out. "...then he whispered 'Virginia Molly Weasley will you go out with me' and I said yes."
"Awwww... Ginny I am so happy for you. So have you like... you know, slept with him?"
Ginny's face turned bright red and she nodded. "The next night, it was both of our first times." She said happily. "It was amazing the way he..."
"NO!!!!" Hermione yelled. "I don't want to know. Thinking of Harry in that way is just too weird. I'm really happy for you though." Hermione gave Ginny a quick hug.
"So whats going on with you and Malfoy?" Ginny asked as they continued walking.
"Nothing." Hermione lied "Why?"
"Come off it, Hermione. I've seen him watching you in the Great Hall and when ever anyone mentions him, you get this weird look on your face. I can tell things aren't the same with you two."
"Swear not to tell?" Hermione asked.
"Promise." Ginny said. Hermione told her everything that she had told Ana plus what had happened on Saturday.
"You slept in the same bed?!" Ginny was shocked. Hermione nodded.
"Its just so weird, 'Mione, you and Mal..." Hermione cupped her hand over Ginny's mouth as they approached Ron and Harry who were waiting by the entrance to Hogsmeade.
"Ron and I are going Zonko's Joke Shop, you wanna come?" Harry asked once Hermione and Ginny caught up.
"No thanks." Ginny said.
"We'll meet you in The Three Brooksticks in 3 hours okay?"
Ron and Harry shrugged and walked off, but not before Harry blew Ginny a kiss behind Ron's back.
"Ron doesn't know, does he?" Hermione asked.
"Nope! I intend to keep it that way. Him, Fred and George always baby me. I can make up my own mind." Ginny said matter-of-factly.
"Good for you" Hermione said
Her and Ginny spent the next 3 hours walking around talking as they looked through shops. Ginny talked about Harry the entire time. He was so sweet and caring and affectionate and romantic.... the list went on and on.
By the time they reached The Three Broomsticks, Hermione was sure once she saw Harry she'd want to strangle him because she was tired of hearing his name. Ordering 4 Butterbeers, Hermione and Ginny awaited the boys. They came running in moments later laughing hysterically. Ron continued to laugh, but Harry stopped once he seen the girls.
"What's so funny?" Hermione asked Ron after they took their seats.
"These girls outside were throwing themselves all over Harry and..." Ginny stood and walked out of the pub. Hermione went to go after her but was stopped by Harry.
"I'll go see whats wrong with her." Harry said and Hermione nodded.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked as Harry ran out the door.
"I don't know" Hermione lied then took a big gulp of her Butterbeer.
"She's been acting odd all summer." Ron said as he eyed the door.
What did Ron expect? Ginny was having a very hard time. After all, Ginny had fallen for Harry the moment she met him, and now that he finally noticed her, she was afraid of losing him because all the other girls were starting to notice what she had his first year.
