Hermione woke up to a warm feeling by her side. Opening her eyes she turned slightly to see Draco lying beside her with his arm draped across her. Smiling, she snuggled into him and gently kissed the tip of his nose. He shifted slightly but did not wake. Moving slightly, she propped herself up on an elbow and using her free arm gently caressed his face and played with his hair, rousing him from sleep.

"Hey you." She said smiling.

"Hey." He answered leaning up to kiss her. She kissed him back as he drew an arm up along hers and her shoulder. Breaking, she laid her head on his chest with an arm around as he played with her hair. Hermione closed her eyes and listened to his beating heart.

"Mya?"

"Hmm" she replied sleepily

"Are you okay?" He said now stroking her back.

"Yes. I am now." She said a little more alertly.

"Good" he said continuing to rub her back. She settled her head more comfortably on his chest and drifted between sleep and awareness. After long while the sun began to rise and poke through the gaps where the curtains didn't cover. Draco patted Hermione's back.

"We need to get up love."

"Don't wanna." Came the grumpy reply. Draco laughed.

"You have to though."

"No I don't." Draco rolled his eyes and began tickling her.

"Draco stop! Stop! Stop!!" Hermione cried between laughs. Draco continued his assault on her sides and stomach forcing her to sit up.

"I surrender! I surrender!" She cried as he rolled on top of her. Finally he stopped and let a red-faced Hermione breathe. He kissed her and slid off her. Standing by the bed he offered her hand which she accepted. He pulled her to him and softly kissed her lips. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back. He pulled away and put his forehead to hers.

"Come my Lady we must dress lest we be late for breakfast." He said imperiously. Hermione laughed.

"But of course my Lord." She said curtsying. Draco grinned and began to look for his clothes. Hermione however walked to her wardrobe and began hunting a pair of jeans and shirt.

"Where's my shirt?" Draco called. Hermione laughed.

"How should I know?"

"Insufferable Gryffindor."

"Silly Slytherin" Hermione dressed and sat on her bed watching her lover look for his shirt.

"Arggh!!" He cried. Hermione laughed and fell off the bed.

"Shouldn't have laughed at a Slytherin." Which only served to make her laugh more.

"I'll teach you to laugh at me!" He cried, still shirtless, and yanked her to her feet. He crushed her against him and began assaulting her mouth with rough kisses. Hermione moaned and ran her hands along his bare chest. When at last they broke for air, Draco asked

"Learn your lesson?"

"Not quite, you need to better your teaching strategies, I think." Hermione said breathily. Draco again captured her mouth and slid a hand up the front of her shirt. Hermione moaned as his fingers traced paths over her stomach and to her breasts. He encircled each nipple with thumb make it grow hard. Hermione pressed herself against as best she could before he abruptly drew back, leaving her wanting more.

"Always leave them wanting more." He said cheekily. Upon spying his shirt he pulled it over his head and kissed her chastely on the cheek before heading out the door for a much needed cold shower.
