After her class in the morning, Hermione spent the rest of her day in the library, researching and reworking her sex education course to fit Draco and his contraceptive potions in for the older students. She kept to the back corner near her favorite window spot to stay out of the way of the students during their free periods. She was engrossed in her work when a quiet pop pulled her away from the notes she was perusing. She looked up and grinned, seeing Minerva's elf standing beside her small table with a tray of sandwiches, pumpkin juice and a bowl of sliced fruit. "Mistress Minny insist you be eatings if you not comes to the Great Halls," the small elf dressed in green tartan said sternly, shoving the tray onto the table and moving some of Hermione's books to the other side of the table. "Thank you, Misty, I'll eat." Hermione smiled gratefully to the little elf.The elf eyed her warily for a moment before nodding sharply and popping out of the library again. Hermione sighed and reluctantly set her notes aside to nibble on a sandwich and some of the fruit. She absentmindedly ate the food in between taking notes and flipping through the many texts she had piled on the table for her research.It was close to suppertime when Hermione finished up going over everything and decided that she had reworked the course to fit everything perfectly while still having enough time for her office hours the next afternoon. The older students woul be excused from their normal classes for most of the day tomorrow because the contraceptive potion took three hours to brew and they wanted the students to get the full experience of the brewing process and to have time to learn about everything Hermione thought they needed to know. She remembered how lacking Hogwarts' sex ed was when she and Draco were students, the girls were the only ones taught about contraception as if it was solely on them to make sure they didn't get pregnant. Hermione wanted to make sure the boys knew that it was their responsibility just as much as the girls'. As she checked the time, she packed her notes up and sent the books back to their spots on the library shelves. Draco had had a full day of classes, filling in for Romilda Vane so he hadn't stopped by the library during the day, but he had sent her a note after lunch to make sure she was doing alright and she grinned rereading the note as she left the library. He'd drawn a small peace lily next to her name, and it made her a bit giddy. She made her way up to her guest room in the astronomy tower to drop her bag off before making her way to the Great Hall for the nightly feast. She entered the Hall through the professors' entrance and found that she was one of the last to arrive, which prompted her to quickly take a seat between Draco and Neville as they both greeted her kindly. She smiled at the two men, as they inquired about her day. She waved them off, saying that she had spent a blissfully peaceful day in the library after her class with the third and fourth years and that she was only interrupted by Minerva's elf once at lunch to make sure she ate. She asked the men about their classes and how their day had gone while she had holed up in the library. Draco said that the potions classes with the first and second years went better than he'd thought and that while he believed Romilda Vane to be "a vain, obnoxious, simpering twit, she must be a fairly good teacher for the students to be so well behaved."Neville chuckled and nodded, agreeing with Draco's assessment before saying, "She is all those to be sure. I think the only reason the students are so well behaved is because she's quite strict in the potions classroom. Outside of it, however, she's almost as rowdy and disruptive as the students."Dinner went well and once dessert had been served and devoured by everyone, Minerva stood to give a short speech."Students, as many of you know, we have two guest professors visiting until Wednesday. I hope you have all been behaving in an acceptable way, as representatives of our school," Minerva began, "Professors Granger and Malfoy have graciously given their time to us for the next two days, and I trust you all to be respectful of them. They have the allowances to give and take points, as I'm sure some of you already know, and they can assign detentions. Tomorrow all students in fifth year will be excused from their first class to attend Professor Granger's class here in the Great Hall after breakfast until 9 o'clock. After that all sixth and seventh years will be excused from their classes from 9 o'clock until 1 o'clock in the afternoon to attend a joint course with Professors Granger and Malfoy. Professor Granger will then have office hours from 2 o'clock until 5 o'clock. If you need to speak with Professor Granger during one of your afternoon classes, she is allowed to excuse you from your class and will send a note to your professor to inform them. Now, it is time to adjourn for the evening, curfew is in one hour. Good evening, students." The students all seemed to flood from the Hall until the professors were left alone. Neville turned to Hermione and Draco, "How do you feel about meeting in the Professors' Lounge after curfew for a nightcap and some muggle cards?" Hermione grinned, glancing at Draco who was smirking, "That sounds lovely, Nev. We'll meet you there in a bit."Neville grinned and excused himself to speak with the other professors, presumably inviting them to join them later as well. Hermione turned to Draco and smiled, "Do you play muggle cards with Neville often?" Draco shrugged, "On the rare occasion," he chuckled before continuing, "Usually it's a game of poker or black jack and it doesn't usually last long because Blaise and Theo complain that they're losing and want to play something else."Hermione grinned, "I can believe that. Well, I suppose I'm going to go get changed into more comfortable clothing for cards." Draco's eyes roved over her figure and his eyes darkened, "Would you like some assistance, Professor Granger?"Hermione bit her lip, "I think I can handle it, but if you'd like you're welcome to join me."Draco grinned and mockingly bowed, "Lead the way then, Professor." Huffing, with a roll of her eyes, Hermione gestured to the other professors to let them know they were leaving but would rejoin them in a bit, before making her way down the center aisle of the Great Hall, ignoring the feeling of Draco's eyes that seemingly felt glued to her backside. She continued on her way to her guest quarters in the Astronomy Tower, ignoring him the entire way. As she opened her door though, she couldn't ignore him any longer when he grabbed her by the back of the neck and turned her around quickly to attack her mouth with his suple lips, causing her to moan, partly in pleasure and partly in shock. She didn't recall closing the door, or how she ended up with her back against said door, but she couldn't complain - not when Draco was knelt before her with his head between her legs, torturing her so sweetly. He had one hand grasping her by the throat and the other stroking her folds as his tongue flicked, circled and flattened against her clit almost teasingly as he withdrew every few minutes, not allowing her to reach her climax. Her leg was propped up on his shoulder, her hand was twisted up in his luscious blond hair and as hard as she tried to hold his head in place so she couold finish, he was stronger than her and he would pull away and smirk looking up at her with those molten silver eyes of his and she couldn't even string a sentence together anymore. Draco continued pleasuring her with his tongue, denying her from climaxing, for a few more moments before pulling away from her completely and setting her foot back on the ground before standing and walking away from her and towards the door connecting Hermione's rooms to his and disappearing through it before she could catch her breath. Hermione let her head fall back against her door and sighed heavily, trying to breathe calmly. Eventually, she calmed enough to breathe normally and made her way into the bathroom to clean up a bit before changing to head to the professor's lounge. She changed into a pair of denims and a thin sweater just before Draco came back into the room in a similar outfit with a devious smirk. Hermione glared at him momentarily before kissing him sweetly and gripping him through his trousers, pumping him for a minute before pulling her hand away and leaving her rooms, and making her way down to the lounge to meet Neville and the other professors. Draco groaned and sauntered after Hermione, catching up to her on the third floor. They continued on their way to the Professor's Lounge and met up with Neville, who was waiting with Minerva and Filius. Minerva mentioned Poppy would be a few minutes late, due to a student coming into the Hospital Wing with a nasty cold. Hermione made herself a cuppa and curled up on a wingback chair by the fireplace while they waited for the rest of the professors to show up. Once the rest of the professors showed up, they spent the evening playing poker. Hermione enjoyed seeing this side of Neville and her former professors, but she had even more fun beating them in multiple rounds before Draco gave up and started whinging. Hermione had to remind them twice that she was muggleborn, no matter how much she'd assimilated to the magical world. Neville laughed when Draco lost again and Minerva swore in Gaelic before bowing out with Poppy. Filius eventually gave up, saying that if the goblins saw him being beaten so badly by a witch he'd never hear the end of it. Neville gave Hermione a run for her money, but she eventually beat him, though she did allow him to keep his money, but only because he promised he'd send her his finest bottle of elf wine when she returned home on Wednesday.
Hermione and Draco made their way back to the Astronomy Tower, but when Hermione tried to convince him to join her in her rooms for the night, Draco declined stating that he was a gentleman and a pureblood and couldn't allow himself the temptation again, as he didn't want to harm her reputation more than he probably already had the previous night in the room of requirement. Hermione disagreed but let him think he was being gallant by conceding to his will. She kissed his cheek and he bowed slightly to place a kiss to her wrist before moving towards his own rooms with a quiet, "Goodnight."
