Chapter 13: Appearances

Something switched her mood and she felt like her body was being controlled by someone else. Hermione brought her hands around his neck, his eye brow arched at the gesture but if he wanted a kiss that's what she would give. She leaned in close to him and pressed her lips against his, then licked his lower lip in attempt to bring them apart. Draco accepted without delay and his tongue ran along her lips seeking entrance as well. They both ended up swirling there tongues against one another mercilessly. His hot sweet breath laced with her own and although she was losing her breath, that didn't stop him from going deeper into her mouth. Hermione released a small pleasurable moan, he was doing wonders to her and if it went any further she might lose her sanity, or what was left of it. That's when Draco let her go and smirked.

"Never knew mudbloods could kiss so good." Draco said breathlessly. Hermione gave him a glare and took her hands away from him.

"Never knew purebloods could kiss so good." Hermione retorted. Draco gave another smirk, not like his usual evil ones.

"Of course they do." Draco said and stepped back. "Now, get out of here I need to sleep." Hermione felt hurt, what was the matter with him? She wanted to at least try to make conversation.

"What happened in your room?"

"None of your god damn business, Granger." He said as he walked over to his bed and laid down.

"What the hell is the matter with you? Why you acting like this?"

"Acting like what?" Draco asked. "Oh..you think because we kiss we would end up talking civilly and I'd pour my heart out? But once again Granger you're wrong."

"You're a fucker."

"Why thank you, next time let all of Hogwarts hear you say that." Draco said sarcastically.

"I don't know why I even kissed you or why I try to help."

"Because I'm one hell of a kisser and I didn't ask for your help. I'm doing just fine mudblood, so run along." Draco said gesturing her to leave. Hermione turned and walked out the door not looking back at him. If he thought he could mess around with her like that, he was fucking with the wrong person.

------------------------------

"RISE AND SHINE!" Ron yelled throwing his pillow on Hermione's head. She groaned and pulled the covers over her head to hide from him. What time was it? And why was he in her room? Ron continued hitting her with his pillow until she couldn't handle it any longer.

"OKAY! OKAY! I'm up!" Hermione screamed and pulled the covers down.

"About time, you got fifteen minutes to get ready!"

"What the hell are you doing in my room anyway?" Hermione asked. Ron gave her a grin and pointed to the joined door.

"You forgot to lock it." Ron replied and made room for her to get out of bed. She stretched her hands out showing a bit of her tummy. She had on pink silk pajamas and a pink t-shirt. She quickly brought her hands down realizing how much skin she showed.

"Go! I need to change!" Hermione said throwing her pillow at him. Ron was too quick and ducked.

"Okay, just needed to piss you off so now that I have, I'll be gone." Ron said quickly and ran to his room closing the joined door. Hermione ran over to her drawer and looked through a pair of clean robes. Once she found her pleaded uniform skirt with her shirt she got dressed and combed through her hair but she noticed that she wasn't satisfied. Hermione glanced at the dresser mirror and frowned.

What was it about her appearance that seemed..boring? She began tugging on her shirt and rolled up the sleeves then she took her wand out and shortened her skirt making it show more leg. Hermione then put her Gryfindor cloak over her shoulders and smiled. Sure it wasn't much but it made her look less like a book worm. Not that her book worm look bothered her before.

She found Ron waiting for her, he didn't seem to notice anything different about her so she figured that it was pointless to try and get a new look. They both walked down the corridors and made their way to the Great Hall. Everyone seemed to have heard about what happened last night because the moment she entered a few looked over at her and Ron.

"Why aren't they staring at Malfoy or Pansy like that?" Ron asked annoyed at the students who were watching them. Hermione shrugged and gave a quick glance at Draco who seemed to be busy talking to his Slytherin chums. She sat down and Harry gave both of them a look.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"What?" Harry asked back confused.

"You were looking at me."

"Don't I always?" Harry replied back.

"Not like that."

"You're being paranoid."

"What are you two talking about?" Ron asked.

"Nothing!" Harry and Hermione answered at the same time. She gave him a warning look so he turned back to eating while Ron scratched his head. This was getting odd so she turned her attention to her food and began to eat.

After breakfast they headed to their first class; Care of Magical Creatures. Once the trio got there, Hagrid was holding a small furry creature. He gave them a wide grin and gestured them over.

"This here is a Grilot."

"A what?" Ron asked.

"A Grilot, a small nocturnal creature that only comes out during the night. It eats bats and has a deadly bite." Hermione said. Ron rolled his eyes at her answer but she pretended not to see that.

"Hermione is right. Grilots have sharp fangs with poison stored up inside. I'd be careful with these creatures. Get out your gloves because today you'll be able to study them." Hagrid said. The rest of the class had all made it and began to work with the Grilots. Everyone had their own stations and she started to observe and write down what she saw while Harry and Ron were playing around.

That's until something fuzzy brushed against her neck and Hermione twirled around to face a Grilot dangling in her face. Draco was holding it by the tail and was trying to scare her.

"Stop that! It's a sleep, don't hold it by the tail!" Hermione exclaimed.

"So? Stupid looking things they are." Draco replied still holding it by the tail. Hermione took the Grilot from him and set it down. He was just lucky it wasn't it's time to wake up. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?"

"Obviously you don't know how to treat animals with care."

"I do to! Give my Grilot back!" Draco tried to make a grab but Hermione stood in the way.

"All you'll do is hurt it and then when it wakes up it will bite your sorry ass."

"Wouldn't that be fun?" Draco said sarcastically. "It's not in your place to judge what I do with it."

"Have it then!" She shoved it in his chest and turned back to study her very own one.

"Wouldn't want to act like you care about me now would we?" Draco whispered in her ear and walked off.

"What did he want?" Ron asked glaring at Draco who now was down at the other end.

"Stupid git, he can't even take care of his damn Grilot."

"So? Let it bite his stupid ass."

"True, I should have just let it wake up." Hermione replied and then they both went back to their work. After class ended Ron went to his Divination class and Harry had a spare while Hermione had Arithmancy. Since Draco happened to have the same class as her, he ended up walking next to her with Blaise tagging along.

"Look what we got here?" Draco said smirking over at Hermione who was trying to ignore him.

"Leave her alone man!" Blaise said a bit irritated at Draco.

"No, I don't think I will." Draco replied and came right next to her matching her long strides. "So mudblood, interested in my friend I see?" Hermione didn't once look at him but continued to walk.

"Draco, just shut it." Blaise said.

"No! I want to know what she thinks of you." Draco replied. "So what is it? His looks? His money? Hmm...? What do you want from him?" He asked and Hermione was getting irritated. "Oh! I know, you want to be one of them girls who fucks him, takes his money and leaves. A gold digger. Is that right?" Draco persisted. Hermione shot him a look of so much anger. Her hand came in contacted with his cheek causing him to stumble back. She slapped him so hard her own hand was stinging.

"Fuck you Malfoy."

"No...fuck you." Draco replied rubbing his cheek. Blaise gave Hermione a sorry look and she just continued towards the destination of her class. After she entered class and had sat down on her seat, Draco presented himself and sat purposely next to her.

"What is it? Bother-Hermione-till-she-goes-insane day?" Hermione asked him.

"So that's your name mudblood?" Draco asked.

"Fuck off!" Hermione replied.

"Is that all you have in your vocabulary?"

"Don't talk to me!" Hermione said angrily. Draco shrugged and put his bag on the desk then watched as the professor walked in. Class began immediately and after half an hour she realized Draco's hand was crawling up her leg. She shoved him off but he came back again. Hermione looked over at him but he wasn't looking at her, he was pretending to listen to the lecture.

"Stop it!" Hermione whispered.

"What?" Draco asked acting all confused.

"Touch me again and it will be the last time you touch a girl." Hermione replied. Draco gave a smirk and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"Then don't show off your sexy legs." Draco whispered seductively and licked her ear lobe. Hermione gave a little quiver but automatically pushed him off of her. He was just lucky that they were in the back of the class and that the professor's back was towards them.

"Don't start that bullshit with me." Hermione whispered back. How had he noticed that she was showing more leg? No one else did and she had her cloak on the whole time. But she managed to get that out of her head and continue with her work.

But after class Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her into a empty corridor. She was so angry at him for what he had done the past hour that she pushed him as hard as she could making him hit the wall and groan.

"You like that huh? How does it feel?" Hermione said with a smirk.

"Don't steal my trademark!" Draco said shoving her against the opposite wall.

"Get off of me you slime ball."

"That's not what you said when you were kissing me."

"YOU were kissing ME."

"Same difference."

"That doesn't make sense, why did you drag me here?"

"Thought you'd fancy another snog."

"Hell no! Not with you!"

"Then who? Blaise?"

"Why can't anyone get that out of their head? Me and Blaise are friends nothing more."

"Nothing less?"

"Anyways I'm not interested in no bloody make out session so step aside! I have tutoring to get to."

"With Blaise?"

"If I didn't know any better I'd think you were jealous."

"Jealous? Of what? It's not like he kissed you or touched you the way I have. So he should be jealous of me."

"How would you know he never kissed me?"

"There's a lot I know, but let's not get into details about that."

"Then leave him out of this conversation."

"Fine, let's go back to the purpose why I am here. Kiss me."

"No! Go to Pansy for your sexual desires."

"She doesn't kiss as good as you. And besides I'm getting rather bored with her."

"So I'm your new play thing?"

"If you want to put it that way."

"Well fuck you! Don't come any closer then you already are."

"I'll give you, five seconds."

"For what?"

"To kiss me."

"No!"

"Five.." Draco said beginning to lick his lips.

"I will not!"

"Four.."

"Shut up already!"

"Three.."

"Stupid brat!"

"Two.." Draco planted both hands on either side of the wall of her head.

"I'll bite your tongue off!"

"One!" Draco's lips brushed against hers and the heat of his body made her accidently move in closer to him wrapping her hands around his waist. One second she was trying to avoid his lips and the next she was battling her tongue with his. It was as though he knew she would, no matter how angry she was at him. Why did she have to kiss him? Now he knows her weak point and he would use it against her every chance he probably got.

Sneak Peak:

"I could of had a good lay! Damn you Granger!" Draco said angrily picking up his own robe and throwing it on.

"Good, I saved one girl from the horrible torture." Hermione said sarcastically.

"I don't rape women if that's what you're implying."

"You might as well, I mean you loooooooove to abuse them." Hermione said. Draco stepped closer to her and gave her a evil grin.

"The only person I abused was you mudblood. I treat other women with respect and love."

Authors Notes: I can only garantee that this story will get more and more interesting. Just you wait. And oh, if you think Draco's being too mean let me know. Cuz I'm getting the feeling he's way too rude lol. But that's what I like about him. Oh I'm rambling again. Go on and review. (pss...he's so damn sexy.)
