"It's a shame, we could've had so much."
I shivered as he whispered it in my ear. Just as I was going to say something back the carriage stopped and he got out. Harry helped me out of the carriage, like a gentleman and held my hand the whole way back to my common room. He stopped at my door and looked into my eyes longingly. I noticed that he was just slightly taller than me. Compared to Ron who was 6'0 and he seemed small being 5'8 and I, 5'7. And then Draco who was 5'9 taller than Harry and I but shorter than Ron. He was leaning in for a kiss but I just stood there shocked that he was going to kiss me so soon. When our lips met I leaned in slightly just so it didn't seem that I wanted him to kiss me because I did. If we were moving on I had to. As soon as we kissed I wanted to push him off and say eww. It felt like kissing my brother. He looked at me in a strange way and we both broke apart.
"That felt weird."
"I know what you mean Harry. I like you but not like that I guess."
"It felt like I was kissing my sister. No offense."
"I know same and none taken."
"So the date is off?"
"Yeah I guess so."
"So see you tomorrow."
"Bye."
I went inside to find Malfoy sitting on the couch looking at me. I looked back at him strangely.
"So I guess you were waiting for me?"
"Don't flatter yourself I was waiting for someone else and you happened to come in first."
"I see well if that's what you say then it must be true."
"It's true I'm moving on just like you are with Potter."
"Actually we're not dating. There's no chemistry."
"Oh."
"Yeah, bye."
"You're not going to be able to move on."
"Oh and why is that?"
"Because once you've had a taste of me you're not going to be able to love anyone else because they won't meet my standards. You'll blow guys off because they won't compare to me. And by the time you realize no one can compare to me it'll be too late."
"Sure whatever you say. It must have taken you a long time to come up with that one."
"It's true and yes I have a lot of spare time."
"So you spend your spare time thinking of me? Look who's hooked on whom now? Looks like the tables have turned."
"Yes actually, usually when I do have spare time I think of pointless things like, you."
"Oh well I'm flattered that you even think about me."
I left and went upstairs laughing. He was one egotistic boy or man? I took a shower, brushed my teeth and changed into my pajamas and fell into a light-hearted and easy sleep. I woke up in a content mood and went into the washroom. When I was walking in the hall I wasn't watching where I was going and bumped into Draco and we both lost our balance and fell.
"Look what you did Malfoy."
"Me? You bumped into me and lost your balance and pushed me over."
"Potato, patoto same thing."
"It is certainly not," he replied and then he got up and ran to the washroom and locked the door.
"Malfoy I need the washroom, get out."
"No," he replied back stubbornly.
"We can share the washroom."
"No I'm going to take a shower, unless you want to join me then in that case-
"Eww you little perverted boy. Fine you can go but don't be too long though."
"I'll take as much time as I want."
"Please."
"What do I get in return?"
"What do you want? My notes help with homework, spells, charms, girl advice?"
"No. I'm just as smart as you are (slightly dumber, but he won't say it to her face, but he knows it's true.) and I don't need girl help I'm fine I should know them inside and out I've 'dated' (more like slept with enough to know)."
"So then what do you want?"
"A kiss."
"You could have any girl you want but yet you keep wanting to kiss me."
"Yes I know I could have any girl but I want you."
"Fine after you're done I'll give you a kiss but if you don't take more than 15 minutes."
"First come in here and give me a kiss."
"No."
"Fine if you want to take a shower before dinner than-
"Fine."
He opened the door and I stepped in but he wasn't there. I looked all over the washroom I was about to leave when I was soaked in ice-cold water. I looked dup and saw Malfoy floating over me with a bucket of water. I looked up at him and glared. I left back to my room and dried up and conjured up a shield and took my wand to the washroom.
I stepped in quietly and looked up and down and left and right. I quickly conjured up a water gun and waited for him to make a move. After waiting for 15 minutes I was about o leave when I heard him stir.
"Hermione what's that?"
"A water gun, it squirts out water like this," I replied by squirting him.
"Oh you're going to get it Granger."
We started chasing each other around the house, me with my water gun and Draco with his wand. We spent most of the day chasing each other but to a break to eat lunch and so could finally have our showers but we didn't change out of our pajamas. After we decided to do homework and our duties and go to the Great Hall for dinner. We went down together chatting happily completely oblivious to the stares that we were getting. Either because we were being civil to each other or that I was wearing Winnie the Pooh boxers and a red tank top with my robe thrown over unbuttoned and he was wearing a tight tee and bowers with his robe thrown over but he had the decency to button up the bottom much to the girls disappointment. It felt great to be with him but it was hard to not kiss him. I decided that we could be friends without having to date or kiss or sleep around. Even I few were attracted to each other I could learn to live without ever kissing him. If anyone asked we would say it was strictly a Head relationship.
When we got to the Great Hall we went separate ways.
"Hermione what are you wearing and why isn't Malfoy dressed either? Were you two you know."
"No."
"We didn't have the chance to change with our plans with the Christmas ball. Oops I shouldn't have told you that."
"We're having a Christmas ball!"
"Hey Lavender say it louder the people in Texas didn't hear you."
"Sorry I'll talk quieter."
"Better here's an idea don't talk about it now, hmm how about that Lavender can you do that."
"I guess but you have to give me all the juicy details and we need to go shopping and if Harry knows yet and-
"Harry and I aren't going together, it didn't work and I have to got with Dr-Malfoy to set and example for inter-house relationships."
"Oh."
After I shut Lavender up she kept whining on how she had to feed the monster in our lake. She ended up telling me she just wouldn't feed it and say she did. Then she started talking about some boy. But I was too busy thinking of Draco to notice. Then I looked over at him and he smiled back. We could be secret friends. Yeah. My train of thought was disturbed by the sound of clinking. I looked up and saw Pr. Dumbledore making yet another speech.
"Now everyone remembers the Yule ball we had three years ago." He said looking at everyone who was present the 6th and 7th years.
"It was very successful and this year the Head Boy and Girl planned out another Christmas ball without the Twizarding Tournament."
There was cheering and applause. Then he started talking about the details, which I already knew about so I dozed off again. After dinner I was going up to my room when Draco held me back.
"Did you forget we have to stay behind and decorate? Weren't you listening?"
"Nope too busy thinking about other stuff."
"You mean me?"
"Shut up."
END OF POV
They started decorating the hall and they were done in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Hermione came up to Draco who was fixing a streamer that kept on falling. He seemed to be very concentrated on the streamer. Hermione being evil took advantage of this and came up behind him.
"Boo!"
"Ahh!"
"Whoa relax there cowboy."
"You scared e to death."
"I figured you might freak out if I did that. You could've used tape."
"What?"
"Tape it helps stick things together, it's sticky clear, ribbon. Muggles use it, it works very well."
"Oh well do you have any?"
"Nope."
"Then why suggest it? You didn't think I had any did you?"
"No I know you wouldn't I just wanted to let you know that there is a very useful muggle object that you could use instead of magic, and you don't have it."
"You're so kind."
"I know."
"Hermione?"
"Yeah?"
"Look up."
She looked up and her eyes widened and looked back down at a grinning Draco. She smiled and leaned din and they kissed. It was nice, and sweet but short. When they broke apart he leaned in again but she put a hand in front of his face.
"One kiss."
"But you promised you'd give me a kiss."
"If you wouldn't take long in the shower."
"I didn't."
"Yeah instead you pored water over my head."
"I was saving you the time and effort."
"Sure."
He looked at her longingly and started to lean. She leaned in too when all of a sudden.. (Just messing with ya I won't end it here that's a huge cliffhanger, but then again I'm evil, nah just a little left.)
They heard something. They leaned out and walked back to their room. They decided to meet in the library for the final touches on the ball. Hermione would go to the library and start while Draco would go get his books and meet her there.
Hermione felt as if she was being watched but ignored it. She sat down and started working when she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. She shivered and looked up but no one was there. She went to Ms Pince to ask for her advice when she saw Ms Pince was gone. So she sat back down. She looked around and noticed she was alone. But it wasn't the first time so she didn't feel scared. After a little while she was worried about Draco and was about to go and get him when someone put a hand over her mouth and pulled her into the shadows of the shelves.
Meanwhile Draco was getting his books, he was having a hard time finding his notepad with all their ideas. He was about to leave and check another room but the door was locked and his wand was sin the washroom. He was stuck and didn't know how to get out. After some consideration he decided to break down the door. He was just about o when he heard someone's voice. He turned around to face Alaina.
I shivered as he whispered it in my ear. Just as I was going to say something back the carriage stopped and he got out.
