Chapter 8:
The rest of the week went by quickly for Hermione. It all seemed like a blur of homework, teachers, her head of house duties, and wonderful lunches with Draco out at 'their tree'. Before she knew it, it was Thursday and Hermione was making her way out of the common room to meet Draco in the Room of Requirement when she was stopped by someone calling her.
"Hey! Hermione, wait one sec!" It was Harry and he was rushing through the room to get to her.
"What is it Harry? I am going to be late for my...umm...meeting." Hermione was reluctant to tell him that it was her meeting alone with Draco because she didn't want him coming like she said he could. But it seems that her thinking was wrong.
"I am going with you tonight, right? Because you have your meeting with Draco."
Hermione held her breath 'I don't want him to come! What should I tell him?!' she thought frantically. 'Sorry Harry...but I am going to lie to you for the first time...sorry' "Well Harry...actually McGonagall did away with that whole private thing with the two of us, there are only group meetings now, and your not allowed to come," she started reluctantly. "Because...uhh...you see...what goes on in there is private and you can't know. I'm sorry Harry."
She felt her heart wrench as she saw Harry's eyes drop to the ground and his face fall. "It's ok 'Mione, I understand...have fun..." he said dejectedly as he turned around and headed back to his dorm.
"I'm so sorry Harry..."Hermione whispered as he headed off. Then she turned and climbed out of the portrait hole, and walked down the hall heading towards to Room of Requirement
As Hermione made her way through the halls she smiled lightly to herself as she remembered the conversation she had had with Draco at lunch earlier that day...
FLASHBACK
"...So what do muggles do for fun when they are little?" Draco had asked.
"Well I did a lot of stuff, umm...I played Twister a lot with my friends, and Monopoly, Clue, Candy Land, ,umm...in the summer we had water gun fights, in the winter we would make snowmen, have snowball fights, go sledding, and oh I don't know! We would do whatever we all want. Why do you as..." but she didn't get to finish because Draco was staring at her in the most unusually confused way.
"What in the bloody hell is Clue, Monopoly, Twister, and Candy Land?" He asked bewilderedly.
Hermione giggled softly at his cluelessness to the muggle world. "Well Clue, Monopoly, and Candy Lane are board games and Twister is well...I cant explain it, you just have to play it...Why?"
"I don't know. I was just wondering..." he replied her, his face kind of distant for a second. Then it lit up as if he had one of the best ideas on his life. "Do you happen to have any of them here with you?"
"Yeah, why...?" Hermione questioned.
"Well why don't you bring them along tonight and we could play them?"
She just stared at him totally astonished that Draco Malfoy of all people would be interested in muggle child games. "Ok, but are you sure? They might be a little boring since they are all easy now that we are older"
"Yeah I'm sure!"
"Ok, but you asked for it Malfoy. I am the best that all the games!" exclaimed Hermione.
END OF FLASHBACK
She finally made it to the RoR to find Draco waiting outside and eager look on his face.
"Did you bring them?" he immediately asked.
"Yes, you big baby I brought them..." she handed him the bag as she concentrated on needing a place to play games with Draco where no one could find them. Just then a door appeared. Draco pulled the door open allowing Hermione the enter first.
They both gasped at what they saw. Inside it was like a child's heaven! The walls, floor, ceiling, and anything else in the room was decorated in red, orange, yellow, and blue. Muggle as well as wizard candy lined the walls, there were bright been bag chairs, an orange and red table with matching seats, and in the back of the room there were two beds; a gold and red one which matched perfectly with the room. There was also a green and grey bed which clashed with the bright room. On each bed there were two bath robes in their house colors as well as slippers and pajamas to match. The lights were soft and welcoming for the two. And right in the middle of the room there was a Twister board already set up to play on, as well as a magically enchanted spinner to go with it.
"Wow..." was all Hermione managed to say. But Draco on the other hand was already heading for the candy. His eyes were wide with interest as he inspected the new muggle candies. Among them he found Skittles, Butterfingers, Twix, Kit-Kats, Hershey bars, Reeces, Jolly Ranchers, Musketeers, Tootsie Pops, Blow Pops, Bottle Caps, Warheads (A/N: HEHE! Remember how popular the Warheads used to be?!! At least here in New Jersey they were! You could not get them anywhere!), Runts, Pezz machines, Hershey Kisses, 1000 Grand's, Snickers, Bazooka Gum, Wonderballs (A/N:Ohh I wonder, wonder, wonder whats in a wonderball, who knows what surprises a wonderball
can hide? Ohh I wonder, wonder, wonder yeah I do! I do! HAHA! Ok back to the story!) , Pixie Sticks, Nerds, Now and Laters, Lafy Taffys, and M&Ms.
"BLODDY HELL HERMIONE!! HOW MANY KINDS OF CANDIES DO YOU MUGGLES HAVE?! WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THIS MANY!!" exclaimed Draco as he started trying every candy there.
Hermione just watched him, amused at how he was acting, as she started to set up Clue on the table and mess around with the Twister board.
Once Draco was done obsessing over the candy, he came over to inspect the games Hermione had brought. He gave them a look of utmost revulsion.
"Uhh...Hermione...you really have fun playing with a piece of cardboard, dice, cards, and little color movers?"
"Well, yeah, you can. And I am going to show you how." She replied with a smirk.
It was three hours later and the two had already played Clue 5 times, Candy Land twice, Monopoly once, and now they were play Twister. The turner thingy was enchanted so they could both play. At this time Draco was in a crab-walk position, and Hermione had one leg under his and one arm through his. (A/N: They were in a awkward position).
The turner had just told them to put their right hand on a yellow one when...
CRASH!!
Draco lost his balance and fell, bringing Hermione down with him. They fell on top of each other.
There was silence...
Then there was sound of Hermione and Draco's laughter. It filled the room with a feeling of warmth. If someone walked by they would have thought that the two were old friends and had been meeting each other after a long time apart. Then...
There was silence again...
They just realized the position they were in.
Draco was on top of Hermione...And she was squished under him. Their bodies seemed to fit perfectly together. Draco tried so hard not to do it, but he once again got caught in those beautiful brown eyes, they seemed filled with love and warmth.
"Draco," but before she could finish Draco had caught her lips with hers. At first Hermione didn't know what to do. She just laid there and allowed him to kiss her. Then she realized what it was exactly that he was doing.
She pushed him away, stood up and started pacing around the room. Draco just looked at her with a shameful face. He could not believe that he had just let himself give up his defense again. 'You are an idiot! A stupid, slimy, smary git! He yelled to himself.
"Draco, I thought that I just told you I didn't want to do this. Why did you?" Hermione asked in a small voice.
"I don't know, I just...got caught up in the moment...It won't happen again Hermione I'm so sorry, "he replied timidly, "I'm just not used to a girl not wanting me, I mean how could you not want this?" he added with a smirk gesturing to himself. This action caused Hermione the giggle in spite of herself.
"Ok whatever, umm...let's just go to bed now, its getting late."
"You do mean in the same one right Granger?" Draco drawled giving her a wink.
"Malfoy, you prick!" she exclaimed tossing a pillow at his head. But he caught it with ease and threw it back at her.
They both changed in the bathroom and climbed into their own beds.
"Night, Granger."
"Night, Malfoy..."
This was the way that their nights in the RoR were spent. There was a different muggle theme every week. Some were movies, stores, clothes, and even amusement park rides. Draco kept his word and didn't try to kiss her again, but there was always that strange silence whenever they went to climb into bed, but this was ignored and never brought up. Neither wanting to cause trouble in their new relationship.
As October drew in Harry grew more and more distant to Hermione and Ron, kind of closing himself in his dorm room, or in some old classroom doing who knows what. While Ron on the other hand was just the same old Ron, oblivious to every tense moment between his two friends and the longing looks Harry would give Hermione while they worked on homework together. And all to fast, the middle of October was here. Hermione and Draco had become, let's just say more comfortable around each other. And Hermione was having a hard time denying the feelings she was getting for Draco. And Harry, well he got worse. He would leave the common room before everyone else in the morning and return late at night with puffy red eyes. And Ron for once in his life was realizing that something was up.
