The Game Of Love

Chapter 9
As soon as she finished her sentence, they bolted around the corner.
"He's behind us, at least on the other end of the corridor," she whispered in a panicky voice.
"I know where we can hide," Malfoy said.
He grabbed her hand and began to run faster. He led her to another corridor and stopped in front of a door.
"What room is this?" she asked.
"It's not a room, it's a broom cupboard," he told her as they went in.
There was hardly any room for one person, let alone two. That meant they had squeeze together really tightly. So, being stuck together like that meant she had her head flat against his chest consider how much shorter than him she was.
He put an arm around her. She listened closely to his heart beat. It was pounding fast because of the running but seemed to be slowing down to a normal heat rate.
She took deep breaths to calm herself down. 'This isn't the worst situation you've ever been in,' she told herself, 'This can't be the worst.'
She felt as his heart beat slowed down, hers was beating much faster.
"Don't breathe so loud, he's coming," he whispered in her ear.
She did what she could to stop herself from panting and started to breathe normally. As if on que, Filch's footstep could be heard coming past their hiding spot. Hermione held her breath.
Until the footsteps faded away, Hermione found it safe to breathe. She sighed with relief loudly and rested her forehead on his chest.
"Ahh...You like it there?" he asked after a while.
She tried to jump back but the little wall right behind her made her bump back into his chest.
"Owww....that hurts."
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
It was still sort of sore, but her first priority was to get out of there.
"Is it okay to come out?" she asked.
Malfoy pressed his eye to the door, "It sounds okay, yeah, I think it's safe, let's go."
He opened the door and they both tumbled out. She sat on the floor, trying to rub her sore back. But then she felt someone else hand rub it for her.
She turned to see Malfoy. He smiled at her.
"I guess you weren't that fine," he said.
"Yeah," she said, turning back and closing her eyes as she got a free back rub.
"Enjoying it?" he asked.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I guess I am," she replied. He laughed.
"Thanks, that's enough. We better get going," she said and got up on her feet.
"Aww... but you haven't had a full massage yet," he said faking innocence.
She laughed, "If it involves me staying in the same bedroom as you, I'm out."
He smirked, "Maybe it does, and maybe it doesn't."
She screwed her face up. He got up to his feet and dusted his robes.
"Come on," he said, "We've got some things we have to do."
In under an hour, they had the job done.
Draco dusted his hands. "Phew..., guess this means we're done."
Granger nodded. She ran a hand threw her hair. He looked at her closely. Up close she was fairly pretty, but that didn't change the fact she'd have her heart broken when he was done with her.
"I think I'm going to bed straight after this," she said.
He nodded in agreement, "That was some pretty good spell work you did back there."
Tints of red came up to her cheeks, "Thanks," she said quietly.
He smirked, 'Am I making the little know-it-all uneasy? Let's just see how I can make this work to my advantage.'
They both turned around and walked down the corridor together, not a word was spoken to each other.
Draco made sure the gap between them was barely a centimetre a part.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Granger look at the tiny gap between them and blushed a little more. This made him smirk even more.
Being the devil that he was, he brushed his arm against hers. She almost jumped back in fright.
"Sorry," he said innocently. She pursed her lips and walked a bit faster but he caught up with her easily.
Noticing him following her, she walked a bit faster but still he caught up.
After a while, she was practically sprinting around the corner.
"Hey, come on Granger!" yelled Draco as he chased her down the corridor. He finally caught up to her and grabbed her wrist and whirled her around to face him. He pulled her close to his chest and smirked.
"What do you want Malfoy? The Slytherin Common Rooms aren't anywhere near here," she said with an annoyed tone.
"Oh, nothing really," gazing into her eyes, hoping it would intimidate her a bit, "I just wanted a good night kiss."
She frowned at him and opened her mouth to protest when he pressed his lips against hers, slipping his tongue into her mouth as he went.
She let out a little surprised moan and threw her arms around his neck to keep her from falling. He smirked when he felt her slowly kiss him back softly.
He slipped his hands on her hips and slowly ran his hands upwards. This seemed to snap her back into her senses she pulled away from him in shock and was lost for words.
This put another smirk on his face.
She saw his smirk and gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing into an evil glare.
He gulped; he moved back slowly, his hands rose in front of him for his own protection.
"Now, Granger, let's act like civil people, please?" he said, gulping at the end.
She was now approaching him in quick steps, her hand rising.
'Uh-oh,' he thought, 'Not good, not good! Plan B.'
"I'm sorry!" he shouted, just before Granger took a big swing at his face.
She stopped half way, surprised at his could-be-last-words.
He let out a sigh of relief.
"You're not getting off that easily!" she shouted before finishing what she had started and took a big swing at him.
Next thing he knew, he was on the ground clutching his red, sore face.
He rubbed at it, hoping the pain would go away.
"Did you have to hit me so hard?" he asked.
She was standing in front of him, hands on her hips. She leaned forward and looked into his eyes.
"Yes, and that was only the tip of the iceberg!" she said.
"I said I was sorry," he whined.
She whirled around and continued down the hall.
"Women," he muttered with annoyance.
