Chapter One
Hermione walked down the halls. This was her free period and decided to take a stroll through the place she called her home 6 years now. She hated being in her common room because she dormed with Draco Lee Malfoy.'Oh how I hate him. His sister is nice though. Maybe he isn't too horrible. NO! He is just disgusting Dra-MALFOY! Great now I'm thinking of him as Dra-NO I won't think it!' Hermione shook the horrid thought from her mind and continued.
"Miss Granger?"
"Yes, Headmaster?"
"I wonder if you could do me a large favor?"
"Sure. What can I do for you?"
"Find me Mr. Malfoy?"
"Sure thing, Headmaster." Hermione skipped off on her merry way to Ancient Ruins where she knew he was this period. She walked in having taken that clase last year. "Professor, Excuse me. The headmaster needs to see Malfoy." She said quietly so as not to disturb the class from their work, to no avail though. The second she walked in, they stared at her, trying to make out her inaudible words.
"Mr. Malfoy, Miss Granger has just informed me Headmaster Dumbledore needs to see you." Hermione and Draco silently walked towards Dumbledore's office.
"Why are you coming with me, Granger?"
"I have no class."
"Ah, Mr. Malfoy, will you please seat in my office, Miss Granger, you may as well." Hermione and Draco nodded and climbed the stairs to his office. "Mr. Malfoy, I'm not going to lie nor will I beat around the bush. Your father has murdered you mother and has been sentenced to life in Azkaban, as it is, you will get everything, at the age of twenty. But, for now, your legal gaurdians are Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Now I am sure you will not need to visit or anything, but you have been handed to their care. Your mother requested that. As for your sister, she left for Durmstrang again on your father's wishes. I'm sure Professor Sisley has taken it apon herself to adopt your sister." Draco's eyes were probably as wide as saucers, as were Hermione's.
They slowly made their way up to their common room as Dumbledore had given them a week out of classes to sort out their emotions. Little did they know, Dumbledore had sealed their portrait so after that week should they leave without solving their differences, they would not be able to leave.
They both went to their bedrooms, but Draco headed for the bath a little later.
'I'm so dirty. BATH FOR ME' She thought cheerily climbing out of bed. She noticed Malfoy's door was opened wide, so she rapped softly on the bathroom door twice before opening it, and there he was, sleeping in the tub. The sight made want to giggle but she knew he was a light sleeper, so instead she tried to hold back. She was, however, thankful for the bubbles covering him. They were so thick all she could see was his chest, neck, and head. His beautiful silver-blonde hair hung in his eyes . She took out her camera Colin gave her for her last birthday and took a picture of Draco then zipped out of the room, in fear he'd heard the shutter click. She was right, he heard the camera and looked around the empty bathroom, then climbed lazily out of the cold bath.
She hid the camera in her trunk and the newly developed photo of Malfoy sleeping in the bath was almost hidden before he burst in her room.
"Ever hear of knocking, Sleeping Beauty?" She asked evilly.
"Give me the picture and we'll call it even, ok?"
"NO!" He took a few steps toward her, hand out stretched, awaiting the arival of the picture his eyes slanted in frustration and anger."Take another step, and ever kid in Hogwarts will see it tonight at dinner." He came up to her, his soft pale lips so close to her ear. He grabbed it out of her hand while she was shocked. He tore it to shreds and burnt them.
"Go right ahead, Malfoy. I got the negatives. Let's see what the students think at dinner." She smiled evilly at his wide eyes.
"You wouldn't do that!" Hermione came dangerously close to his lips with hers, he feel her slow light breaths on his lips.
"Watch me." she whispered so lightly, he found it rather sexy. Actually, he found her sexy. 'Her honey tinted hair was soft and tame and straight. Her eyes were no longer dark brown but a warm brown with flecks of gold in them. She'd grown curves right where they were needed and had a very flat stomache, but not to skinny. She was perfect.' He shook the thought from his mind as she wandered into the bathroom, making sure the door was locked and put a charm on, so he couldn't use alahomora on it. She stripped down and got into the hot bath, enjoying the stinging sensation. Draco put his ear to the door as he heard her talking to herself. 'Hermione Granger. You, my lass, are my new prey.' Draco thought as he walked to his room, fully aware he was developing a crush on Granger. Little did he know, Hermione was thinking something of the same lines.
"GRANGER!! I NEED TO DISCUSS SOMETHING WITH YOU! HEADMASTER TOLD ME TOO!" IT was a downright lie, and he was probably going to be smacked, but he knew it would tell him something he wanted to know.
"SHIT! I forgot my clothes." Was all he heard from the inside, obviously speaking to herself. She came out wrapped in a towel.'Even better.' Was all MAlfoy could think as his eyes traveled down her body slowly, memorizing every curve and line he could see. His eyes came back to her slightly red face. "What, Malfoy?"
"Sit on the couch, I have a feeling this will shock you." Hermione obidiently sat on the couch. Draco crossed the room." Ok two things, first, we have to organize a welcome to school dance.(A/N Remember this is the second day of classes.)" Hermione nodded her head."We have to attend together, being who we are. Anyways, second is that...well."
"Just say it, Malfoy." Malfoy put his face close to her, his eyes showing something, she couldn't tell. Lust, affection, love, a combination of all three?
"Well..." She opened her mouth to repeat her last line but his captured her lips in his. Her body taking control, lifted her arms around his neck and kissed back, their tongues dancing. His hands slipped to her waist, feeling her up. 'He's a totally great kisser. Probably had lots of practice. Damn he's sexy. I think I'm falling for Dra-' Her thought woke her up, she pulled out of the kiss and tried to pull out of his embrace, but didn't. His hand clung to the towel, if she ran, her towel would fall, she knew it and so did he.
"You planned this!"
"You responded."
"Let me go!"
"Mya, I'm not letting you go. It's rude to storm away. If you want to be rude, be my guest, but I'm keeping the towel." He gave her an evil smile."You wanna play dirty, fine we'll play dirty." He leaned down and kissed her on the neck, to get a sharp gasp from Hermione. He noted her heart rate picked up. He'd found her sensual weakness... the neck. He began to bite softly. She moaned out almost sending him over the edge.'Dammit that's gonna leave me with a bloody mark!' she thught this as he released her from his mesmorizing hold."Let's see now, Hermione Elisabeth Granger's weakness is the neck. Now, are we gonna show that picture to the student body or shall I move up to incessant teasing?"
"Damn you..." she had said so softly he almost didn't hear.
"Yes, I may be eternally damned, but you know as well as the other girls in school I'm drop dead sexy. You can't deny it."
"No I can't, Malfoy. You are, without doubt, the hottest guy in school, along with rude, careless, conceited, gittish, and forbidden to me." He smirked.
"Ahhh, I see you've noticed, how kind. But I'm not forbidden to you, love. Just you don't know where to approach me. As I now know it's you neck where I shall approach you." He released her towel, causing it to come loose. He traced a finger down from her collar bone down, ever so slowly, to the valley between her breasts."But I have to wonder. If...there are any other...weaknesses to you...Miss Granger?"
"As if I'd say."
"You'd rather me find out on my own, cuz I will." Her eyes went wide. She pulled the towel tightly to her and ran off to her room. "Remember, we gotta work on the ball." He laughed and headed down for dinner. Hermione changed into a black silk spaghetti strap shirt. A red pleated mini skirt and her black platform boots to complete the look. She looked fabulous. She ran to dinner, forgetting to cover the now reddening hickey on her collar bone.
"Hermione, where'd ya get the hickey?" Ron asked slowly.
"Malfoy."She simply Shrugged it off.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DOES HE THINK HE'S DOING?!"
"Ron, calm down, I got a plan. Just sit back and watch." She hardly pointed her wand at the ceiling. and words flew across the ceiling.
"LOOK!" somerandom first year pointed out the words on the ceiling.
For years we all feared Draco Lee MAlfoy.
What you all are about to witness is a once in a life time event.
As I show you the new era of...
SLEEPING BEAUTY!
The picture of Draco sleeping in the tub came on the ceiling and everyone laughed, except one blonde. He looked at Hermione hurt. He'd expected a slap on the face, but not the humiliation. He didn't think she'd really do it. Oh boy was he gonna get revenge tonight, oh yes, he was going to get even with her...
