Love Sick

Chapter Nine

The moment the curtains closed, Hermione ran off the stage and through the back exits. Her heart was racing, her mind was on a roller-coaster of emotions she couldn't handle. Hermione sang in front of the whole school about her love for Draco, after day's of practicing the song in her room and the room of requirements. The only problem with the whole thing was that as she gazed into Draco's eyes he had no expression on his face, he was pale from shock. And humiliation! She knew that she probably had made a fool of herself, trying to let him know how much she loved him. Tears began to fall down her cheeks. Hermione slowed down her pace and leaned against the cold brick wall.

"Well, look what I find hiding in the corner!" Pansy walked up slowly to Hermione.

"Fuck off!" Hermione said bitterly.

"Listen you little mud-blood bitch, I'm warning you stay away from Draco! He belongs to me!" Hermione gave a small chuckle, even if Draco never loved her he would never fall into the hands of this slut. Pansy glared at her angrily waiting for her to stop laughing, that's when Hermione noticed that Pansy had gained a bit of weight in her mid section.

"Well you listen you little whore! I don't take threats from asses who indulge themselves with ice cream and cake late at night mopping over the fact that Draco left them behind in the dump!" Pansy face looked horrified as she put a hand on her stomach. Hermione smirked at the gesture and waltzed by her. Pansy took her arm making Hermione stop dead in her tracks.

"Didn't it ever cross your mind, why would my Draco fall for a Gryfindor especially one who is of muggle born? Didn't it ever cross your mind that maybe he wants something from you? Didn't you ever question his motives?" Pansy hissed in her ear. Hermione felt paralyzed, what if Pansy was right? What if Draco was planning to hurt her or do something else.

"He has no motive." Hermione pulled from her tight grip and walked off irritated, angry and paranoid. Bloody hell! What if for once in her damn life she's right! What if he is doing something? She's a Slytherin she would know...wouldn't she? But what if she's bluffing? Hermione's thoughts came to a stop when she noticed Draco walk through the Portrait hole. Hermione walked in right after him. When she entered she found him sitting on the couch watching the clock above the fire place.

"Draco?" Hermione said. Draco turned around and jumped over the couch and ran over to her.

"Where have you been? Why did you run off?" Draco asked worriedly.

"I need to ask you something." Hermione said. Draco raised his eye brow and put his hands in his jean pockets.

"Okay." Hermione bit her lip.

"That song I sang was for you, did it by any chance affect you?" Draco again raised his eye brow.

"What do you mean, Hermione?" Hermione took in a deep breath.

"Do you love me?" Draco took his hand out of his pocket and brushed his hair back. His eyes were unfocused. Hermione concentrated on his behavior, it seemed like he was battling with his mind. This slight hesitation brought a tear to her eye. Who was she fooling? Draco would never love her. This was something to much for him and she couldn't bare to watch him continue staring through her.

"Forget it." Hermione picked up the sides of her dress and ran up the stairs to her room. She locked it making sure he wouldn't walk in on her. Hermione sat down on her dressing table to watch her reflection. How could I expect him to love me? Why did I even ask? Hermione practically tore off her diamond earrings her mother had bought for her on her sixteenth birthday.

All her life she had everything she wanted or possibly needed. Hermione Granger was intelligent, understanding and loving. She had a mother and father who cared deeply for her and two best friends who went through everything with her. If she had it all, why was it at nights she would feel unwanted and lonely? Why was it she listened to sad songs about being unloved or hated? Why was it every time Draco had said mud-blood to her she felt dirty and tainted? And must importantly why was it now that she saw the better side of him and she thought she learned to love him that he couldn't return it?

I'm pathetic! Hermione got up tearing her dress off and rushing over to her drawer to wear a baby t-shirt. She didn't want to use the bathroom afraid that Draco would find her there. She through herself on the bed and stared off into space. Unexpected tears falling down wetting her pillows but Hermione couldn't careless. After a good hour lying there on her bed, Hermione heard a knock. Don't answer it! Don't answer it!

Hermione's feet carried her across the room despite the fact her head was screaming not to. She opened the door to find Draco still wearing his clothes. Hermione knew exactly what she was wearing, being half naked didn't cross her mind though.

"What?" Hermione said bitterly.

"Hermione, can I talk to you?" Draco said quietly. Hermione leaned against her door and stared at the floor.

"Go ahead." Hermione said waiting for him to continue.

"Tonight when you sang, it was something like from a dream. I loved the song most importantly I loved your voice." Draco began. He brushed his hair back once then continued. "If you meant every word of what you sang then Hermione Granger, I do love you." Hermione snapped her head up to stare into his eyes. That had taken her back a bit. Was he serious?

"Why did you hesitate earlier?" Hermione still couldn't trust what he said. She wanted to be absolutely sure.

"Obviously I didn't think I was, but then something hit me and I guess I remembered every word you sang." Hermione looked down once more, is he telling me the truth? Merlin I hope so. Draco lifted her chin and kissed her lightly on the lips. He stopped only to stare into her eyes. Hermione licked her lips, trying to savor his taste.

Without hesitation he bent back down and kissed her longer, his tongue begging for entrance. Hermione complied as he slowly massaged his tongue with her own. The slow process of it made her moan causing her to swing her arms around his neck. Draco lightly held her waist, allowing the kiss to grow stronger. His tongue began to dance with the heat of her own mouth. She returned the favor making him groan against her lips.

Unexpectedly he raised her bare legs around his waist firmly holding her until he carried her to her bed. Hermione couldn't believe how strong he was to be able to carry her like that and still kiss her. They never disconnected their lips but only made it more lustful and hungry. He lay right on top of her caressing her outer thighs along her panties up her waist line until he reached her neck and then repeated the process.

The sweet scent of his cologne intoxicated her mind as he continued lightly brushing against her. Her legs were still wrapped around his waist but she could feel that he was getting hard. Draco's kisses trailed down her cheek to her ear lobe then down along her neck until he reached the area that made women scream for more. Hermione gasped as he sucked on her long and hard making her whimper. He took her legs apart from his waist and stripped off his shirt. Hermione could see his green boxers because his jeans were quiet low, allowing her to mesmerized his chiseled muscles and his broad shoulders with his lean chest.

Before she can glimpse more of him he bent back down kissing her lips and teasingly caressing her thighs. Hermione planted her hands in his hair kissing him long and hard. Hermione learned that yearning him had become a weakness for her. His hands ran along her hips to her waist and underneath her t-shirt. Hermione didn't bother stopping him because she loved the feeling he was giving her as his hands made it to her bare breasts. He rubbed against it while he began planting kisses along her neck. Hermione closed her eyes savoring the moment. Suddenly he pulled the shirt over her head and tossed it next to his shirt. Hermione blushed feeling embarrassed that he was watching her practically naked. Draco seemed to sense this.

"Your beautiful, don't be shy." Hermione seemed to cool off a little bit. Her hand started to rub along his arms.

"With clothes or without?" She asked questionably. Why she was flirting with him she didn't know. But Draco smirked at the question.

"Both." He said then leaned over to kiss her all ready bruised lips. His tongue began to trail down her chin to the center of her neck across her chest and then to her right breast. He lightly kissed her nipple then began to lick it afterwards blowing it making it become hard. Hermione closed her eyes once more enjoying the pleasure she never had experienced. He repeated that a few times and then turned to her left breast to do the same. Draco began to suck on her while his hands made it to her panties and he began to take it off.

A few minutes ago she would probably have been shy enough to cover her privacy with her hands but having heard that Draco didn't mind at all made her ease. She raised her hips to help him take it off for her. As soon as she laid back down completely naked in front of Draco she frowned.

"What's wrong?" He asked brushing her brown curls from her face.

"Your still clothed." Draco mouthed an "o" and quickly rushed of his belt that had his name written in the center in diamonds and then his jeans. He climbed back on top of her now only wearing boxers. Hermione smirked approvingly knowing that the boxers will come off soon enough. He parted her legs and began to kiss her neck once more, sucking on it while his hand began to move between her inner thigh. Hermione felt his fingers playfully search around before landing on her bud. She licked her lips in anticipation knowing what he was going to do next. He began to gently rub her which caused a shiver to go down her spine.

Hermione gave a small whimper and uncontrollably parted her legs farther. Draco noticed this and began to massage her hard at the same time abandoning her neck. Hermione gave out another moan and arched her back. Suddenly she began to shake without any self control realizing she was reaching her peak. She again parted her legs farther seeking for more and Draco obliged by rubbing her as hard as he could. That had caused her to moan and whimper at the same time. She had reached her climax and he knew.

Draco pulled off his boxers and nested himself between her legs. Hermione stared at him for a second remembering something. "Draco?" Hermione said.

"Yea?"

"Do you have protection?" She asked worriedly. Draco got off of her and leaned over the side of the bed in search of his pants. When he found it he took out of his pocket a condom. He rushed to rip the wrapper and placed it on himself. He positioned himself back on her and kissed her lips. Hermione allowed him to enter her mouth and kiss her frantically. He took her legs and placed it around his waist and then whispered.

"Tell me to stop if it hurts." Hermione nodded. She felt something large move along her insides breaking her tight barer. Hermione winced a little bit not expecting to feel herself stretch. His eyes met hers and she nodded for him to continue. Draco pushed as far as he could go and stopped. Hermione closed her eyes and waited for him to do what he had to do. He began to slowly move inside her until she had began to feel a surge of sensations. Hermione moaned making him move faster. Hermione began to grip around his shoulders as he continued to move. Draco thrusted fast and hard inside her until Hermione felt that tingling feeling come back to her except this time it was stronger causing her to feel as though she was falling off the edge of the earth. Draco too went along the ride with her and quickly fell on her panting.

After a few minutes in that position Draco got off and fell next to her side of the bed. He took his hand in hers as she watched the ceiling. When Hermione regained all energy she turned over to look at him.

"Draco?" Hermione asked. Draco looked at her after brushing his hair back.

"Yea?" Hermione trailed a finger along his abdomen and his chest.

"I love you." Draco smirked at her.

"I knew that." Hermione smiled and laid her head on his chest, falling into a well deserved sleep.
