Chapter 4
Hermione and Draco walked hand in hand as the walked down the quiet street. Hermione looked up to see Draco's content face.
"You know, you could have said something about leaving before I had to trip," she said with a small smile on her face.
"But if you didn't, how else would I get such a wonderful excuse of walking with you?"
"Well, there's this thing called being tired that allows you to leave." Draco smirked at this.
"Whatever you say, Mione."
"Mione?" she asked.
"Sorry," Draco said quickly, afraid of driving her away. "I won't call you that if you don't want…"
"No," she cut in, "I was just surprised. Ginny's the only other person who's ever called me that. I like it."
"Mione it is, then."
They walked a bit more, Hermione occasionally saying where to turn. Then she tilted her head over, leaning it on his shoulder. Draco smiled softly at this, wondering what he did to be this lucky. He slowly snaked his arm around her waist, and they walked like that for a while, as if it were the most natural position in the world.
Suddenly Hermione stopped and pointed at a medium sized house. "This is mine," she said, reluctant to leave Draco.
"Yeah," he began, "so I guess I'll see you…"
"Know what? My parents aren't going to be home for a few hours, so, you wanna come inside?"
"I don't know," he said uncertainly.
"Come on," she said, grabbing his hand. She led him in through the front door of her house. She hung her jacket on the hook and motioned for him to follow her into the kitchen. "Are you hungry? Thirsty? Anything?" she asked.
"I'll just have a water," he replied. She turned and opened the cabinet. "Shit," she muttered, for as she opened the door, a glass fell and shattered on the floor. Hermione crouched down to start picking up the shards of glass, when Draco knelt down next to her.
"Let me get this," he said. Hermione was about to object, when the phone rang.
"One 'sec." She sighed and walked over to pick it up. The second she did, she could hear Ginny's voice squealing through the earpiece.
"MIONE!!! Oh my God!!"
"Ginny!" returned Hermione with half-fake enthusiasm.
"Don't give me that tone. Anyways, so…" Ginny was so loud Hermione feared Draco overhearing.
Draco, on the other side of the room was picking up the glass quietly, faintly hearing Ginny's voice. He strained his hearing to find out what they were talking about. He knew it was wrong but…
"So, what?" Hermione faked not knowing what her friend was talking about.
"You know what! What do you think about…"
Hermione cut her off short. "Know, what? Can I call you back later? There's company over."
"OOOH! Company!" said Ginny, catching on to Hermione. Well then I'll just call you tomorrow. And," she lowered her voice to make sure the "company" didn't hear her, "give me *all* the details tomorrow!"
"OK! Bye,"
"Bye, hun. Be safe!" And before Hermione could say anything she hung up.

Ginny put down the phone in her room and headed over to the computer. She pushed the button and heard it starting up. After getting online she clicked on the "Write Mail" button and addressed it to Magic9640@aol.com.
Hermione,
DRACO WAS IN YOUR HOUSE?!?! OMG you are like the luckiest girl in like, the whole world!!!! So, how'd you do it? Lol, just kiddin. So…what happened? Did you kiss? What are you going to do about Harry? Omg! What the hell is Harry going to do about this? He doesn't seem the type to take it out violently on you though. Ugh, I have so much homework tonight! Why did they decide to burn the witches at the stake again way back when? Like it matters now. Did you notice how sometimes they either escaped or didn't successfully burn? I mean, if you really research it, you'll find all the people who did like huge serious witchcraft never really died. Oh well, they were all stupid back then. Think about it, now there's even Wicca religions and stuff. They do magics or something like that. Anyways, back to Draco. Are you going to Hogwarts tomorrow? I wonder if Draco will show. Probably, being as he'll figure that you'll be there. Well I'll probably be on most of the night, and knowing you, as soon as Draco leaves you'll be on, so as soon as you get this, send me back one!
Lotz of Luv,
Ginny
Clicking the "Send Now" button, Ginny started on her homework.

Hermione hung up the phone. "That was Ginny," she said, making her way back over to where he was to help finish with the broken glass.
"I heard." He smirked.
"Yeah, she tends to have sort of a loud voice. Did anyone ever tell you that you have the cutest smirk?" *Cute smirk. Oh that sounds smart. Since when are smirks cute? Its like one of those oxymoron things,* Hermione thought.
"Might have been mentioned once or twice down the line." He stared into her amber eyes and found that he couldn't tear himself away. He slowly started to lean in, tilting his head a bit.
"AH! Damn it!" Draco pulled his hand back quickly to find a shard of glass stuck in slightly. It got there when he put his hand down to keep his balance. *Stupid hormones* he thought as he watched the blood trickle down the side of his hand.
"Oh my God, what did you do?" Hermione took his hand in hers to look at it. "Well we're going to have to get this out."
"No, I was planning on leaving it in there for a while," said Draco sarcastically.
"Come on, let's go over to the sink and rinse it off first." Hermione's voice showed only pure concern.
"No it's fine, I'll just do it right here." Draco took his hand back and looked at the position the glass was in. He touched it to see how deep it was in, but ended up letting out a small squeak, which he tried to cover with a cough. Hermione giggled.
"Baby. It'll be easier if you rinse it off first."
"Baby? I'd like to see you with a piece of glass sticking out of your hand. Anyways, the water just makes it take longer before it's out." He grabbed what was outside of the skin, winced, and pulled as hard as he could.
Hermione immediately went over to the sink to get a wet cloth to wrap around his hand. "You shouldn't have done that! There were much easier and less painful ways of taking it out." She watched as the pressure of him biting on his lip receded as he took the cloth from her.
"I've dealt with worse," he replied simply, his eyes slightly cloudy.
"Well I'm going to go get some bandages. You stay right here, understand?" Draco nodded and she left the room and went upstairs.
She walked into the bathroom and made her way over to the medicine cabinet. She was muttering as she tried to find the bandages, which she figured with her luck, would be in the very back of everything you could possibly imagine. Her movements suddenly came to a stop when she felt cool breath on the back of her neck. She slowly turned around.
"DRACO!" she yelled making him jump. "God, you scared me! I told you to stay downstairs. It's not like I was going to abandon you or anything."
"Yeah, well you scared me when you yelled," he replied rubbing his ear with his good hand. "And anyways, I got lonely."
"I was gone for like, 10 seconds."
"What can I say? Getting glass pulled out of your body makes seconds seem a little longer and the only way to make it feel better is having a pretty girl nursing it."
By this point Hermione's back was against the sink, which she was leaning on. "In that case then I guess you just have to go…" But she didn't get to finish her sentence being as her lips were a bit occupied with something else: Draco's lips.
He licked her lips and she opened her mouth, allowing passage. He explored every crevice and memorized it. As their tongues dueled, they became so preoccupied and content with themselves, that they weren't paying attention to their surroundings.
Suddenly the bathroom door opened and to Hermione's parents. Luckily they broke apart just before they entered.
"Mom! Dad! You're home early!" squeaked Hermione.
"It's eleven. And who's your charming friend?"
"Oh! This is Draco Malfoy. He's new here. He cut his hand and we were in here looking for a some bandage to wrap it."
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Draco Malfoy." Mrs. Granger extended her hand.
"The pleasure is all mine, I'm sure," replied Draco smoothly as he shook it.
"By the way," said Mr. Granger, "Why is the cabinet mirror all steamed?"
~*~
Hermione slipped on her slippers and walked over to her computer to check her e-mail before she went to bed. She found she had one new message, which was from Ginny. After reading it, she clicked the reply button.
Ginny,
I just got your message. Omg, where do I start? SOOO much happened!!!! OK, I invited him in and went to make him a glass of water, but I dropped the glass and it broke ALL over the floor. I was SOO embarrassed, but he didn't seem to notice THANK GOD! And then when we were about done, he leaned in to KISS me!!!! I know you're probably squealing right now but, it didn't happen! Notice how I was when we were *almost* done with the glass. When he put his hand down he got this big piece of glass stuck in it. He wouldn't let me wash it off though, he just pulled it out really hard, saying he's had worse and his eyes sort of clouded up. I'm not sure what that was about. Well anyways, I went up to the bathroom to get some bandage and like ten seconds later he was behind me saying that he missed me and then… WE KISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!! He is like the best kisser ever! I swear! I thought that I was like in heaven or something. We sort of forgot about the bandage though. And then a too-close-to-embarrassment moment: my PARENTS walked in! It turned out it was already eleven! Fortunately we pulled away before they saw anything, but my dad asked why the mirror was all steamy!! WOW. I'll tell you more details tomorrow. I'm tired and going to bed. I need my beauty sleep ;).
Luv ya lotz,
Hermione.
