Hey there loyal readers!!! Thanks so much for all the reviews!! I want to apologize now for the delay in posting. I was away on vacation in Massachusetts since the 11th and didn't get a chance to update my story!! I am so sorry. I hope you all enjoy this installment though!
Thanks to the reviewers! A few things to explain: Hermione never said that her and Draco slept together while being interrogated by Blaise. She simply said that Blaise didn't know if Blaise didn't ask. And as for the bath tub scene, I was gonna put more into it, but I just didn't. For the record though, all that went down in the tub was kissing, and they were wearing swimsuits.
"Sure, we'll meet back down here in ten." With that they went their separate ways. They each grabbed their books and met back down in the common room. They departed walking down the corridor towards the library where an afternoon of studying awaits them.
End of Chapter 7
When the get to the library the two find a table in the back so not to be disturbed. They set their books down and Hermione jumped right back up.
"I'm going to look for a book to help with our Transfiguration homework. I'll be right back." Draco just nodded and began opening his Potions book. He glanced up from his studies to see the ever so cheerful Hermione lightly running her fingers over the spines of books searching for the right one. She looked so happy, so content. He glanced back down at his book just as she uncovered the perfect book. She took it off the shelf and headed back towards the table.
"Here we are." She said, setting the book down onto the table. "You want to do Potions first?"
Draco glanced up from his book and said, "Sure, then we can do Transfiguration."
Hermione pulled out her Potions book and began her work. They worked in silence except to ask each other short questions. Within the hour they were finished with their Potions and pulled out their Transfiguration books and the book that Hermione had so gracefully found.
"Okay, now we must tell the process, including all the details, of turning objects into turtles. They can be various objects but we must use at least three."
"This shouldn't be too hard, should it?" Draco asked, a smirk on his face.
She loved the way he would smirk at her. It always made her grin herself but that was half the pleasure of it. "Yes, it shouldn't be that hard."
She began fingering through the pages. "Ah here we go." She said as she pointed something out in the book. "Just start copying."
With that said they began copying out of the book. Before long they had finished all their homework and it was time to do their rounds.
"You take Slytherin and Ravenclaw, I'll take Gryffindor and Hufflepuff." Hermione said. "And we will meet back at the common room."
They went their separate ways only to think about each other the entire time.
I love the way he grins and smirk at me. It makes me go weak in the knees. And the way he saved me from Blaise earlier. Not that he was going to kill me or anything, but he would have taken my pride if he had not been stopped. Well, I really don't want to think of what would have happened. I mean Draco barged in and I am eternally grateful. Enough with the depressing acts of earlier tonight. On to a more happy subject. Hermione racked her brain for something positive, other than Draco, to think about. But that was the only thing that kept coming back into her mind. Man, nothing will get him out of my head. I mean here I am, walking down the hallway thinking about Draco Malfoy. There are some things in life that will always remain a mystery.
By this time she just finished her rounds and started heading back to the common room. Thoughts of Draco pouring into her mind as she took the corner a little to sharply and ran into a hard object, sending her and the object to the ground.
Why does she have to be so pretty? I mean she was decent looking before but now she has filled out and man when she smiles...it just sends my stomach on a trip. I love the way we are nice to each other, but no one would ever know. We conceal it all to well. But then again, isn't that what Slytherins are good at doing? Concealing our true emotions, and keeping secret what should be secret. She really is something special. I never want to let her go. She is mine and no one is ever going to take her away from me. Especially not Potter or Weasel.
Draco had just told the noisy Ravenclaw common room to go to bed. He began making his way back to the Head common room. He was walking down the dark and musty hallway starring at the ground. He couldn't get her off her mind. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't. Not that he minded very much. He took the corner, not bothering to look up since everyone was supposed to be in bed. Without warning, he ran into something awfully hard and fell backwards. He didn't want to yell at the person, since he wasn't sure if they were a teacher or not.
So, he got up, brushed off his robes and addressed the mystery person. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I guess. That really hurt. Why don't you watch where you are going?" Hermione said back at him, not recognizing the voice at first.
"Hermione?" Draco asked, squinting in the dark to try and make out the face of this person he ran into.
"Draco, is that you?"
"Yeah it is. Let's head back to the common room before we get in trouble."
"Sure." She replied, following Draco. "Sorry I ran into you by the way."
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure that your mind was preoccupied with other things. Besides, we weren't hurt were we?" Draco said, slowing down so she was walking next to him.
"Yeah, no one was hurt." They walked the rest of the way in silence. They arrived at the portrait hole and proceeded in. "Well, I guess this is goodnight?" Hermione questioned, finally looking into his eyes.
"Well, would you like to take a dip in the tub with me?" Draco asked. "With our bathing suits on." He added, noticing her shocked expression.
"That sounds quite relaxing. We'll meet in the bathroom in ten minutes?" She asked turning to the stairs.
"Yeah, I'll go start the tub." Draco said as he made his way to his own room. "See you in a few."
"Alrighty."
They both entered their rooms, closing the doors behind themselves. Little did they know that a face, a certain face that neither wanted to see, was watching them in the fireplace. And that face wasn't too happy.
