A/N: Thank you all for your reviews, it's the only reason I continues so thanks. Especially to Rebecca winner of the longest review! Also a few reviewers have mentioned the Buffy coming back from the dead plot and the similarities, yes it was where I got the general idea for the story, but don't worry, I do not plan to work the story out like season 6 of Buffy. Anyway on with the story.
A large bang separated the two, Hermoine blushed once she saw an open mouthed Madam Pince standing before the two students a disapproving look on her face. Hermoine stumbled away from Malfoy's embrace, she pulled his hands off her waist, She glared coldly at him, he took no notice and shot her an amused grin.
"The library is closing now, you should join everyone else in the Great Hall." Madam Pince said stiffly.
Hermoine nodded "Yes, of course." She grabbed her bag and exited, darting around Madam Pince who looked at her disapprovingly.
Hermoine's lips tingled from the warm, passionate kiss she had shared with the most unlikely person. Hermoine had been kissed by Krum before, but never like that, never had she craved for more. When his lips met hers the world stopped and she lost herself. And she was very scared by that.
"Granger." Malfoy called.
She turned slowly, her arms crossed she stayed a safe distance away from him. "That never happened. You tell no one."
"As if I want public humiliation Malfoy." She bit back. "Don't ever try that again!" She snapped.
He glared. "Oh don't worry you have nothing to worry about Granger, I do however; a mudblood, think of what everyone would say."
"Well that won't be a problem since no one will ever have to know because nothing happened." She said matter of factly
"Look at that, for once we agree on something." He smirked.
"Yeah well never try that again you perv." She turned on her heal.
"You kissed me back." He hissed.
"I was thinking about someone else." She lied.
Slowly a smirk grew on his face, he looked at her knowingly, "Of course you were, Hermoine." He turned on his heal and stalked away.
She glared at his back, how dare he, after all he kissed her. He had no right to call her Hermoine, as if they were friends. She shook her head in disbelief. How could she have let this happen.
She slid in next to Harry, who grinned at her appearance, "Hey Hermoine, where were you? You look all flushed."
She frowned "Uh I was at the library. You know how I get around books." She shrugged carelessly.
Ron handed her the pumpkin juice. She poured herself a glass and handed it to Harry.
"How did the prefects meeting go?" Ron asked looking up at her from his dinner.
She glanced at him then dropped her knife and fork. "What did Dean tell you then?" She said knowingly.
Ron looked down. "Dean never said-
"You're a terrible liar." Hermoine smiled softly, letting Ron know she wasn't angry.
"OK, so he told us that maybe. possibly. you freaked out, that Malfoy and you had and argument."
"That's a bit of an exaggeration." She crossed her arms defensively.
He raised his eyebrows, turned to Harry giving him a knowing look.
"Hey! I'm sitting right here. Don't look at him like I'm crazy! Listen Malfoy and I shared some words and maybe I over reacted a little, but I can handle that jerk."
Harry placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder "Ok Herm, calm down."
She nodded. "Right, sorry Ron."
He shrugged "You know I get worried." He mumbled.
Hermoine smiled. "I know I'm sorry I don't mean to be snippy with you. He just makes me so mad."
Ron grinned "Need us to beat him for you."
She grinned at the spark in his eye, "Nah, you guys can just kick his ass in the next quidditch game."
This comment set the boys into an instant discussion on the latest broom. Hermoine sighed in relief, she only played the quidditch comments in emergencies, it was hard enough trying to get them to shut up about quidditch. She considered this as an emergency.
She risked a look over Ron's shoulder to the Slytherin table, where Malfoy sat talking to a slytherin friend. She frowned what was he about? That was one hell of a kiss, and as much as it hurt to admit he was good looking, definitly easy on the eyes. She frowned that was hard to admit. She sighed, the kiss. well it made her skin tingle and burn, leaving her ache for more. But this was Malfoy. He hated her and she hated him because he was a jerk. most of the time.
He looked up as if feeling her gaze on him, his cloud grey eyes boar into hers and he raised his eyebrows at her and she immediately dropped her gaze. It was getting stuffy in here, she turned to Ginny, "You want to go for a walk."
Ginny grinned "Sounds good to me."
Hermoine tucked her hair behind her ear, then coughed uneasily. Ginny frowned at the anxious and worried look on her friends face.
"Hermoine is everything okay." She asked her gently.
Hermoine stopped walking and she sighed gently "No."
Ginny put a hand on her shoulder, "You want to tell me about it."
Hermoine nodded, then spoke in a whisper. "Ginny I really appreciate it, we haven't always been close but I consider you the best female friend I have, that means a lot to me when I'm with Harry and Ron 24 hours a day." She laughed uneasily.
Ginny smiled, "Hermoine, you can tell me anything I promise."
Hermoine gave her a small smile, "Well the thing is. something's happened, something unexpected." She laughed nervously. "The most unexpected thing I could ever imagine happening!"
Ginny raised her eyebrows. "From your tone and anxiety, it's bad."
Hermoine bit her lip "In theory yes. What if, I felt something, that I didn't think I would ever feel."
Ginny knew that Hermoine obviously didn't want to go into details. "So what happened wasn't bad, in fact you enjoyed it?"
Hermoine stopped in her tracks. "Immensely."
Hermoine suddenly let out a groan of frustration and dropped on the ground resting her head on her knees.
Ginny took a seat beside her and put a hand gently on her back.
"OK Hermoine so let me get this straight, something happened, you enjoyed it, something you never thought possible. and you enjoyed it."
Hermoine nodded.
"This is obviously about a guy."
Hermoine squeaked. "How do you know?"
"Well you can't talk to Ron and Harry about it, and your distressed, guy problems." Ginny said.
Hermoine wasn't going to deny it. "Yeah it's about a guy."
"Well, do you like him."
Hermoine frowned. "Like. is a strong term. I like what happened. but he is so. so."
"Not what your looking for?" Ginny asked confused, which she was.
"I don't know. I really don't." Hermoine said sighing.
"My advice is you go talk to this guy."
"TALK? As in speak to him? Converse?" She looked at her eyes wide.
Ginny smiled at her confidently, "Come on girl, get your act together. Where's that Gryfindor bravery? You march up to him and look him in the eyes, your feelings will all come out."
"Ginny your read way too many romance novels." Hermoine grinned then got to her feet then turned to Ginny, "Thanks Gin."
"No problem Herm." The two girls smiled genuinely then Hermoine ran towards the great hall.
Ginny smiled, Something had happened between Harry and Hermoine. That's why Hermoine came to her because she couldn't talk to Ron because well duh, Ron couldn't keep quiet for longer than two second.. She had known that Harry was in love with Hermoine before she died, he had confided in her. Ginny had been very surprised and also a little hurt, a small part of her would always love Harry herself. After all he was her first crush. The more she thought about it the more it made sense though. Hermoine and Harry were perfect for each other. Ginny smiled, the matchmaker within feeling satisfied.
Hermoine slowed her pace. What was she thinking? Malfoy kissed her sure, but had she forgotten the whole conversation after wards! This wasn't one of Ginny's romance novels. She couldn't run to Draco, tell him how that kiss made her feel and she wanted to explore these new and very surprising feelings for him. Then he would take her in his arms and they would share a Fireworks hollywood worthy kiss. It just wouldn't happen.
What were her feelings exactly? Whe Malfoy had kissed her, she felt, happy. Which is not a complex emotion has a great deal of signifigance. It reminded her of before all this had happened to her. It was something simple, true and...well maybe not pure this was Malfoy after all! This was way too confusing and everything was happening too fast for her liking.
"Granger, daydreaming about me in the hallway."
Hermoine whirled around to find Malfoy leaning casually against a wall, smirking.
She blushed, "Shove it Malfoy."
"That it? Jees Granger death slowed you down or else you have other thing's on your mind." He grinned.
"You know Malfoy, your too cocky, that kiss was not that special or that good." She glared.
He chuckled, "Yeah cause you protested so much, if it was that bad why did you kiss me back." He asked her.
She looked around panicked hoping no one would over hear their conversation. Surprisingly there were no one around.
"Tell me Malfoy why did you feel the need to have to stop and speak to me? Honestly as if my day wasn't bad enough."
"I'm the highlight of your day."
"You are a prat!" She spat angrily.
"Oh I just love getting you riled up."
"Oh and I would just love to give you a smack in the face ferret."
"You know your beautiful when your angry, Granger." He smiled and walked off.
Leaving an even more confused Hermoine behind.
Beautiful? She stared in the mirror, narrowing her eyes. No she still didn't understand it, so he was attracted to her that much was clear. sort of. Then she thought of something else. he could be using her to get back at Harry and Ron! Revenge against Harry. She bit her lip, if they found out they would be so angry at her. She had nothing to be embarrassed about, she was a teenage girl. and Malfoy well, he kissed her.
Well that was that, she was going to give him a piece of her mind!
Draco lay back in chair lazily, his feet propped up on the desk, a book on his lap. He tried to focus on his reading but he couldn't. He just ended thinking about her. Her, he loathed her. Didn't he? What was this? Sure she was good looking for a mud blood, this was Granger, Gryfindor goody-two- shoes-mudblood. There was no way he would fall for her.
Speaking of her she was walking in this direction in alarming speed.And she looked beautiful, which he had pointed out today.outloud. He would deny ever speaking those words as true as they may be he couldn't just walk around blurting these things about her. He glanced up from his book, she was breathtaking when she was angry and right now she looked pretty pissed off. He frowned, he did not want to be on the receiving end of her little tantrum. He closed his book and raised his eyebrows at her.
"Yes?"
"What do you think your doing?" She spat.
"Reading?" He held up his book.
She snatched it away and tossed it onto the desk.
"Shut up I know all about your little mind game." She said smugly.
"Mind game?" He said amused.
"Yes, I've heard about boys like you, except your much worse, your using me to get to Ron and Harry." She crossed her arms.
"Potty and Weasel? That's why we kissed. That's why I kissed you?" He asked her in disbelief.
"Yeah, that's the reason, well guess what, Ron and Harry are my best friends and your actions have no affect-
"Hermoine shut up, when I kissed you, Potty and Weasel was not what I was thinking about." He assured her.
"Okay then I don't understand. I don't get it, what is your deal. Why?"
"Does everything have to be so complicated for you?" He asked her.
"You said so yourself, Life is complicated." She shot back
"Yeah I said that however there are simple things."
She raised her eyebrows, "Really? Enlighten me."
He nodded "Okay." He got up out of his chair towering over the gryfindor.
He spoke in a hushed voice. "Something simple. How about... a boy." He took a step towards her and she took one back.
"And a girl." He took another step forward she kept the space between them.
"Who kiss." She was now backed up against the wall
"And like it." He said into her ear, winding a stray curl around his finger finger.
Her chocolate brown eyes avoided his grey stormy one's.
"It's that simple?" Her voce trembled slightly.
He leaned forward so that his warm breath was on her lips.
"Yeah it is that simple."
Then finally after what seemed like eternity he pressed his warm lips against her wet soft lips. She let out a moan of pleasure, as he ran his hands through her long brown curls. He massaged his tongue gently against hers, she eagerly responded pulling his body closer to her. She ran her fingers through his blond hair. She lost herself in the passionate kiss.
Unknown to them however a very much shocked Ginny Weasley turned the corner almost dropping a pile of books. Backing away from the couple she ran towards the Gryfindor common room.
And thats it for now! Let me know what you think, is there anything i should change? review!!
