Love Sick

Chapter Eighteen

"Maybe I shouldn't have come here." Draco shouted to Blaise as he looked around the Gryfindor common room. The music was pumping so loud, he was afraid he might not be able to hear anything after tonight. They created the room to look like a dance room and a launch. Couches were in the corners were couples kissed and practically fucked. Then there was the ones who were grinding into one another on the dance floor. Draco turned away from all of that and searched for a certain curly brown hair girl. He suspected she wouldn't come but somewhere in his mind told him she would.

"Hey man! There's Ginny. Talk to you later." Blaise shouted back over the music and left him alone. Draco watched as he walked towards Ginny and whispered something in her ear. Ginny nodded and left the common room with him. Draco wondered where Ron would be, shouldn't he be spying on his sister? To Draco's surprise Ron was all over a Gryfindor girl he couldn't quiet recognize at first. Then after Ron moved back, showing her face he realized it was Lavender Brown.

Draco snorted and walked around the big common room until he found an empty armchair. He sat down and stared at all the hopeless fools, touching, kissing and all over each other. Why did I have to come here? Draco leaned to one side putting a hand on the side of his face, watching everyone tilted. He noticed there were more Slytherin's then he expected. Talk about hypocrites...

"Holly shit!" Draco said coming out of his half daze when he saw Hermione or a girl that looked a lot like her. No it is her.. But she was wearing make up, and her hair was in a bun with some curls down the sides. She was wearing the most revealing clothes he had ever seen. A baby pink cloth that seemed to cover her chest but show her flat stomach and smooth shoulders. The jean shorts she had on were so tight that from the back you can perfectly outline her panties and show her nice tanned slim legs. Why is she dressed like that? Who is she trying to impress? Draco couldn't believe what he was seeing, here was his Hermione, practically naked and at a party.

Draco was pretty sure she didn't see him, so he inched along the dark parts of the room to see a better glimpse of her. He was close enough to hear her conversation with Harry.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I'm fine." Hermione said. Harry stared at her up and down. "I know, it was Ginny's idea. She thinks I can find someone better by looking like a slut. God! I don't know what I was thinking." Yeah, what were you thinking Hermione?

"If you ever feel uncomfortable at all, I'll lend you my jacket. I can't watch you looking like this." Harry said. Hermione gave a smile, a smile she hardly ever gave Draco. A green veil of jealousy began to course through his veins.

"Don't worry, I know I can count on you." Hermione said patting his shoulder. Count on me, why don't you ever count on me? Dean gave a whistle as he walked over to them. He watched her eyefully up and down. Draco wanted to punch him out right then and there but he didn't want to reveal he was even here.

"Wow, you look...wow." Dean said eyes wide open and grinning.

"Thanks." Hermione said blushing. Harry coughed and looked around the room then walked off leaving her alone with Dean.

"I thought you weren't going to come." Dean said coming closer to Hermione, she took a step back and Draco smirked. Good, stay away from that bastard.

"I decided to show up after all. To prove a few people wrong." Hermione said.

"Well you proved me wrong." Dean said grinning. The nerve of him watching her like that...I should...ugh!

"I guess so." Hermione said. Dean looked around and then back at Hermione hungrily.

"Wanna dance?" He asked. Say no, say fucking no like you say to me. Do it now! Say no!

"Sure." Hermione said taking his hand that he stretched out. Oh Merlin! No you just didn't do that. Hermione followed him into the center of the dance floor and held on to Dean's shoulders. Draco came out of the shadows and moved in closer to watch. Dean grabbed her hips and pushed her tight against him. Fuck no! The song was fast paced and she began to slowly grin on him, one leg between his. Wow, you can do that? What the fuck...no...you're doing that with him! Not fair! Not fucking fair! Draco clenched his hands and greeted his teeth to stop from screaming. Draco walked a full circle around the dancing area, not leaving his eyes off of the sight that made him want to vomit in envy.

"Hey Draco!" Dora said. She was drinking and giggled at him. God, is she drunk?

"Eh..hi!" Draco said. Dora took his arm and began to pull him towards dance floor. What is she doing?

"Are you drunk?" Draco asked curiously. Dora gave a small giggle and shook her head.

"Lets dance!" She said smiling at him, she set her drink on one of the coffee tables and dragged him to the dance floor. Draco looked up and saw Hermione staring eyes wide at him. Dean's back was to Draco, but allowing full access to see Hermione grind, shake and move all over Dean. She must of had the same drink Dora did. He almost forgot about Dora tugging him and finally raised a quizzical eye at her. A dance she wants a dance she'll get.

"Aright, let's dance." Draco replied. He held her waist and led her closer to where Hermione and Dean were dancing. Hermione rolled her eyes and turned away from him, pretending to enjoy dancing. Draco looked down at the green eyes of Dora, she gave another giggle as his hands made it down to her hips and thighs. Dora twirled her arms around him and began to do the same motions Hermione was. Draco met Hermione's eyes and she gave a angry glare then whispered something to Dean. Dean shrugged and took her out of the sweaty hot bodies of people dancing.

He just allowed Dora to do most of the work. He was somewhere else, thinking and after a few minutes of bodies entwined, Dora gave a yawn. Draco knew she was a sixth year and maybe it was passed her bed time.

"Are you tired?" He whispered. Dora shook her head in protest.

"No." She said.

"Well, we should stop." Draco said slowly walking out of the crowded center. Dora shrugged.

"Okay." She said. Draco looked passed her shoulder and saw Hermione was sitting at a near couch chatting with Dean. His one arm over her shoulder and her hand on his thigh. What is she doing? Trying to get me vexed? Hermione smirked up at Draco then looked back at Dean nodding her head to whatever he was saying to her. Hermione tilted her head and kissed his neck. She's messing with fire, and she shouldn't be doing that. Draco forgot that he was still holding Dora's waist and she was just giggling and looking at him. Draco gave Hermione one last look and smirked at her. Hermione's eyes widen a bit, curious to what he was going to do or say.

Draco leaned into Dora and gave her a light kiss never letting his gaze fall from Hermione. Her face became pale with either anger or jealousy. Dora smiled and kissed him back lightly as well. Then Draco did what he shouldn't have done, just a little show for Hermione. He slid his tongue inside Dora's mouth, and she gave a slight moan as he began to massage her. Draco didn't feel anything from the kiss the way he did with Hermione. It wasn't the same satisfying feeling that rushed down his spine.

Hermione's jaw fell in utter shock. Shouldn't mess with fire. Draco stopped kissing her and gave her a smirk before whispering, "Sorry dear, I have to go." Dora gave another annoying giggle and nodded. Draco left the common room and began to walk to his house. He threw himself on the couch of his common room and sighed. Maybe he went too far...

"What the fuck was that?" Hermione screamed. Draco was surprised, he didn't even see her walk in.

"What are you talking about?" Draco asked innocently. Hermione threw her little purse on the couch he sat on.

"You know damn well what I'm talking about. That kiss!" Hermione screamed.

"Why, are you jealous, Granger?" Draco asked smirking.

"Jealous? That wasn't necessary!" Hermione yelled.

"Merlin! Stop yelling! I'm only a few feet away from you." Draco said calmly.

"Fine!" Hermione puffed.

"Good! Now look at yourself, why you acting like the kiss was a big deal?" Draco asked.

"Its a big deal because you were showing off!" Hermione said.

"Well what about you! Dressing like that? And dancing like a stripper!" Draco yelled.

"Oh! So it's my fault that I want to have a bit of fun?" Hermione asked.

"So are you depriving me of having FUN!" Draco replied.

"UGH!!!!! I knew this would happen. You just wanted to get back at me for dancing!" Hermione yelled throwing her hands in the air.

"Stop! Now listen to me clearly. You said we are through, nothing is between us. So why are you acting like I cheated? Huh?" Draco asked curiously.

"I'm not acting like ---"

"So you still have feelings for me?! Is that why you're making a big deal out of this?" Draco asked.

"No I don't and its not a big---"

"So what is it huh? Explain to me why I can't kiss someone else that's not you?" Draco asked. Hermione's face was tinted red with either irritation or embarrassment.

"You can't talk now? Can you?" Draco said. "You accuse me of lying. And here you are lying or denying or whatever you call it that you don't have a bit of love for me."

"Forget this!" Hermione screamed. As she tried to walk away from him. Draco wasn't having it, he ran after her and grabbed her arm.

"Why can't you answer me truthfully?" Draco asked.

"You're not giving me the chance to!" Hermione said pulling away from his grip.

"So answer this! Tell me you don't feel good when I kiss you, or when I'm holding you. Tell me you don't sleep better at nights when I share your bed. Tell me that ----"

"I do, I do, I do!" Hermione screamed.

"So fuck the marriage! Fuck everything that makes you want to walk away from me!" Draco yelled back. He moved her closer to him. "Fuck what your mind is trying to tell you and listen to your heart." Draco whispered. He tilted his head and leaned in to kiss her. Hermione closed her eyes in anticipation and Draco smirked. "Now his neck wasn't as good as you made it seem, now was it?" Draco asked brushing his lips against hers. Hermione parted her lips and met the tip of his tongue with hers. He lingered for a moment then slowly began to tighten the kiss, bring his tongue practically down her throat. Hermione gave a loud moan as she put her arms around his waist. He let go of the hand that was holding her and dug his fingers into her loosened bun.

"Why..." Draco said letting her go slowly. "Is it everytime I make up with you, you end up running away?" He asked. Hermione took a gulp.

"I..I don't know." Hermione said honestly.

"Yes you do know. I don't want to be here kissing you, holding you, knowing that tomorrow you're going to have a mood swing." Draco said.

"Fine...I promise..." Hermione kissed his lips then gazed into his eyes. "That I'll be with you."

"For how long?" Draco asked.

"As long.." Hermione placed another kiss on his lips. "as you want me to." Draco grinned.

"Good. No more rubbish about Pansy?" Draco asked.

"No..no more rubbish." Hermione said.

"Now...where were we?" Draco asked. Hermione shrugged fluttering her eyes innocently. Draco smirked at her playfully and picked her up. He carried her up the stairs and into his room, Hermione gave him a strange look.

"I won't do anything you don't want me to do." Draco whispered. Hermione smiled and nodded. He placed her on the center of his bed and began to place kisses on her face. Hermione grabbed him and pulled him closer. She began to kiss him lustfully on the lips grinding her hips on his.

"I wanted to ask you, where did you learn to dance?" Draco asked placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Ginny..." Hermione said breathlessly. Hermione sat up allowing him to firmly hold her body as she kissed him on the lips. His hands crawled along her body and she gave out a moan.

"Umm..Hermione?" Draco asked. She looked up at him. "Let's take a rest for tonight. Okay? I don't want to rush into things." Draco said.

"Not sex driven today?" Hermione asked.

"Not tonight." Draco said smirking.

"Promise...promise me something." Hermione asked.

"Anything." Draco said.

"If..if I stay with you, will you promise not to hurt me?" Hermione asked looking into his eyes.

"I promise. Now, listen sweetie. I don't want you waking up tomorrow throwing a fit." Draco said playfully. "So I'm going to let you sleep in your own room." Draco began to rise from his bed. Hermione grabbed his arm and pulled him back down.

"No, I want to sleep in your bed." Hermione said shyly. Draco nodded and gave her a kiss on the lips one last time.

"Let's change first." Draco said calmly. She got up and ran to her room through the bathroom and after five minutes came back with one big t-shirt on. Draco took the time that she was gone to also change quickly. He wore a pair of navy blue boxers.

"You know, I like that outfit you were that other day." Draco said. Hermione blushed.

"Yeah, but this is more comfortable." Hermione said.

"Sure thing. If its not on you in the morning, don't blame me." Draco smirked. Hermione gave him a shove as she crawled in next to him.

"Don't blame me when you don't have no more balls." Hermione replied.

"Ouch!" Draco winced. "Why would you do that? Don't you want my kids?" Draco began to pout.

"Not if they'll end up sexaholics like you!" Hermione said laughing. Draco pretended he was mad and turned his back to her as he lay down to sleep. He kept quiet for a while waiting for Hermione to say sorry.

"Hey, don't be mad that your dick controls your brain!" Hermione said still laughing.

"Ha. Ha. Go to bed." Draco said hiding his smile. "How did I end up liking a prude like you." Hermione shrugged and lay down as well. Draco turned over and watched her fall asleep. He knew it was too good to be true. Something or someone will mess things up again. Although he hated the little break ups he had with her, he also loved the making up. Those were always the best part of a relationship. If I'm even in one right now. After a few minutes of watching her peaceful face, Draco also fell asleep.
