Disclaimer: author lying in hospital bed bloody and beat up in a full body cast a-apparently I d-d-don't own H-h-h-harry pppp-potter…or D-draco. But…I w-ill k-keep him in my c-c-closet. D-damn y-you JK R-rowling's l-l-lawyer!

ETC: This creepy guy on aim has talked to me twice. His screen name is Tmac4magic1 and he has talked to me and two of my friends (both girls) and none of us have any ideas how he got our screen names. He asked one of my friends out (she has no idea who he is) asked me if I were a girl, and said nasty, perverted stuff to my other friend (she blocked him) see I did have him blocked but I un blocked him because I wanted to find out who he was. He told on of my friends he was a 10th grader named Curtis. I'll just have to find out.

'Chapter Six: Control

No temptation can gravitate to a man unless there is that is his heart which is capable of responding to it"

-- JamesAllen

'

Hermione's eyes drooped closed as Draco took the kiss deeper

As her perception narrowed down to where she and Malfoy met

Lips meeting lips

Thigh brushing thigh

Hermione's hands on his muscled chest

Where she had placed them to push him away

But she lost will power

And any capability to protest

Or string a few words together to form a comprehensible sentence

Hell she had degenerated into a…a…a something

Something that wasn't Hermione

Hermione would have been able to find a word to describe herself if she had been…well… herself

And so her hands just sat there

Hovering not quite sure what to do

What was she doing?

It was Draco…MALFOY!

'I don't care who it is…it feels so good' a traitorous voice spoke in the back of Hermione's mind

Harry had never kissed like that

Harry!

Hermione's eyes snapped open

Wasn't she betraying his memory?

Kissing the enemy?

She shoved Draco away with a forceful push

Or she tried to

He hardly budged an inch

She wondered again how he had gotten so strong

But it was far enough away that his lips were no longer on hers

He wrapped his hands around Hermione's delicate wrists, keeping them trapped against his

chest

"Don't touch me Malfoy!" Hermione said tightly.

Draco gave her a genuinely puzzled look

"But…you didn't mind me touching you a few moments ago"

Hermione gave what sounded to be perilously close to a growl and tried to jerk her wrists from

his grip.

She failed

Her hands were still firmly pressed against his gulp naked chest

It was kind of hard to concentrate when she had a half naked man pressed against her

'I don't mind' the voice whispered

GACK!

Bad Hermione

Bad Girl

If she could have moved her hands from where Draco held them

She would have slapped herself

If she kept thinking like that she was going to kiss him again

'Not that I would mind' the little voice sighed dreamily

Hermione almost sighed to

It HAD been a good kiss

Hermione shook her head.

What was she thinking?

It was MALFOY

Hermione squeezed her eyes shut

Ferret boy

The bane of her existence

The skinny, pale, rat faced, ass hole

'Whatever he was…he sure is a good kisser'

Shut up!

'Way better then Harry…and you know it!'

SHUT UP!

Draco's POV

Draco watched all the different emotions flit across Hermione's face

Could FEEL the emotions

All the ones chasing across her face

'Such a pretty face'

Draco merely sighed

HE had gotten used to the little voice in his head a long time ago

He had also gotten good at ignoring it

Except when it came to Hermione

He always had trouble controlling every aspect of himself when it came to Hermione

it was harder to lie

'But you did any ways'

He had had to lie to her

'No you didn't'

It was hard to hurt her…no almost impossible

'But you did that to.'

Draco squeezed his eyes shut

It had been necessary

'You could have explained to her why?'

Why?

Why had he done those things?

To help her

'Help her how? By emotionally scaring her?'

To save her

'Save her from what? YOU?

To protect her

'The only thing she needs protection from is you!'

Draco opened his eyes on that thought

Yes even from him

Emotions tended to cloud judgment

No matter how old those emotions were

He knew for a fact

For he had loved Hermione for a very long time now

Hermione and Draco opened their eyes at the same moment.

Draco's determined and Hermione's flashing with anger

Then Draco did something that surprised Hermione

He stepped back

Away from her

"I'm sorry" Draco said slowly "I shouldn't have done that"

Hermione's jaw hit the gleaming blue tiles of the bathroom

Had Draco just apologized?

To her?

She continued to stare even when Draco began to shift from foot to foot awkwardly

"What?" she finally managed

Draco gave her a cross look

"I said I was sorry. I didn't come here to start another fight…I came to help with your back" He

gestured

Hermione picked her jaw up off the floor and gave a little "humph" That said clearly 'I don't believe that'

Draco's eyes flashed…what an ungrateful wench

"Look I said I was sorry now do you want my help with the back or not?" Draco asked

impatiently

Hermione's POV

Hermione bit her lip

]Did she really want him touching her?

Again?

'Oh yes' the little voice returned

The part of Hermione that was thinking clearly winced noticeably

She didn't want his to touch her really

Really

And…

It wasn't as if she had reacted to the kiss or anything

So would it matter if he touched her?

'Liar! You kissed him back' the little voice said crossly

No I didn't

Really

I'll prove it

"Fine" Hermione said "I already cleaned it. So all I need you help with is the bandaging"

Hermione spoke briskly

"Fine" Draco echoed He made a little circle motion with his hand

"Turn around" he said "and I'll bandage it"

Hermione grunted but complied

Voldemort smile, a slow evil grin that contorted his already horrific face into something that

could launch a thousand ships…in the opposite direction.

He watched Hermione and Draco through the scrying bowl in his office

His very luxuriously appointed office

Just because he looked like a monster didn't mean he had to live in a cave

And he didn't

He had always lusted for riches and power

His gregarious nature had made his modest parents flinch

His modest, working parents

His lips curled in disgust

Mudbloods

Just like the girl

He would destroy her

Just like he had destroyed his parents

His grin grew at the thought

The sight of his parents faces just before he had killed them

His first victims

That was when he realized what he truly wanted out of this life

The power to control

The power to hold another person's life in your hands, and then snuff it out, like you would a

candle

Quickly and efficiently

Oh occasionally he took the time to kill for pleasure

But he hadn't for a while

He only did that when he had a worthy target

He had wanted to do that to Harry

The boy who had defeated him

The boy that had made his first attempt to conquer the wizarding world fail

But Harry himself had taken that pleasure away from him

Even in his death Harry would spite Voldemort

Voldemort's lip curled

Well it was a good thing he had killed himself

It would make him that much easier to bring back

And he would bring him back

For once again he had a worthy target

One he would go to any lengths to capture…

Hermione

There was just one problem

And that problem's name was Draco

Draco loved Hermione

But Voldemort had a plan

Draco bit his lip

This was harder then he thought it would be

Being near her

Touching her

Even if it was just his magic

He stood a good yard away from Hermione

He didn't trust himself near her

Hell, the way it was going he wasn't going to be able to trust himself in the same room as her

No, the same country

Draco shook his head and continued the graceful circle motions his wand was making as he

carefully wrapped the white gauze around her back

What was he thinking?

He could control himself

Or could he?

Could he control the half of himself that he had let loose on Hermione in the Dungeon at

Hogwarts?

The half of him where the line between love and hate was so blurred it was non-existent?

He finished bandaging Hermione's back and with a swish and flick he secured the end inside

the overlapping lengths of cloth

Hermione shrugged the robe on over her shoulders, tied the sash, turned and met Draco's eyes

Blue blue eyes

Piercing

And glacier cool

The color of ice

And just as hard

'What is he thinking?' Hermione wondered

"Thank you" Hermione's voice was stiff and every bit as cold as Draco's eyes

Draco inclined his head "You're welcome"

Draco's eyes warmed up "So, how bout a kiss?"

Hermione blinked

Then her face flamed up in anger

"YOU CREEP!"

Draco smiled inwardly

He liked it better when she was yelling at him

He had the plan

Now all that had to happen was for it to be implemented

There was just one flaw in his plan

When he brought Harry back from the other realm

He would be himself again,

He would not be Voldemort's puppet

Voldemort's forehead wrinkled as he puzzled through that

Then Voldemort's sinister grin was back (A/N- The one we know and love)

But what if he could get Harry to do what he wanted…get him to follow his orders of his own

free will

And he knew exactly what buttons to push

A/N- forgive me…this chapter was so short and had so little really going on dodges rotten

tomatoes But you did get some (kinda) Hermione/ Draco action. And there was some very

important plot development going on. I was surprised when so may people said they didn't know

who Voldie was going to bring back. So I told you at least 4 times who he was going to bring

back…and in case you didn't get it. IT'S HARRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermione: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU'RE BRINGING HARRY BACK! I KNEW YOU

WOULDN'T LET THIS DISGUSTING PERVERT KEEP ME! OH HARRY MY LOVE. grabs

author by collar He IS coming back right?

O/A: O-o-o-of course Hermione

Draco: groans what kind of sicko are you? We finally get rid of him and you bring him back!

O/A: Don't worry Draco I won't let him get in the way of you and Hermione

Hermione: turns and gives author THE LOOK

O/A: gulps I am in need of some serious help if I let figments of my imagination pick on me and

boss me around. squares shoulders and looks determined

Hermione: You mean figments of JK Rowling's imagination don't you? Or didn't those beefy

lawyers teach you anything?

O/A: shoulders droop and author shudders Oh ya…JK Rowling's imagination. Hehehe

Draco: snickers you are such a coward

O/A: Shut up…I got to stay alive if you guys want some more kiss scenes

Hermione/Draco: WE DON"T!!!!!!!!!!!!

O/A: Oh come on! You know you like it!

Hermione/ Draco: growl and put author into the blender WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

In the Next Chapter: I finally have a plot line so I can do this…MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH clears throat so anyway. Harry comes back from the dead and maybe Draco and Hermione start to trust each other.
