Dangerous Liaisons

Chapter 3: The Real Hermione

It had been a week since Hermione had arrived at Hogwarts and already was she bombarded with homework. Because of this, she was not able to change her appearance in front of Malfoy when behind closed doors. Even for their rounds for walking around the dark halls looking for anyone who betrayed the rules she couldn't act as she wanted to.

"What's wrong Granger?" Malfoy came into the bathroom while she brushed her teeth. "Didn't study for a test?"

"No," Hermione's voice was muffled due to her toothbrush. She watched him as he walked up to her and he crossed his arms.

"What is it?" Hermione said after rinsing her mouth clean. "Come to blow your hair?"

Malfoy's eyes narrowed. "No. I would like to use the sink, thank you."

"Well why didn't you?" Hermione said looking at him. "It's big enough for the both of us."

"I don't want to use it while your filthy hands are," Malfoy snapped.

"Well excuse me for wanting to use the sink," Hermione walked away still looking at him. "You know Professor McGonagall was right. Maybe we should start getting along."

"Yeah, I will once you're out of my sight," Malfoy said angrily.

"Fine, fine, I'm out," Hermione said leaving the bathroom and closing the door. She sighed as she grabbed her belongings and started her way towards the Great Hall.

"'ione wha' wrong?" Ron asked with his mouth full of food.

"Nothing, and Ron please chew before you talk, that's a horrible habit you have," Hermione shook her head at him.

"I can't help it," Ron said more clearly now that he swallowed his food.

Hermione frowned as she watched Malfoy come in with Crabbe and Goyle.

"You'd think that after seven years being here, he would ditch those two," Ron said also looking at the Slytherin trio.

"Maybe he would," Hermione muttered and Ron looked back at her.

"Why's that?" Ron asked.

"I don't know why, I'm just saying it as a thought," Hermione shrugged.

"Whatever," Ron said and stuffed more eggs into his mouth.

"What's first period?" Harry asked.

"Potions," Hermione sighed.

"Argh, I think I'm going to cut that class one day," Ron whined.

"Cut that class and I'll kill you," Hermione said and Ron gave her a nervous look.

After breakfast they went off to potions class and met up with the Slytherins before going into class.

"With the way the Gryffindork's team is set up we're sure to win the cup this year," Malfoy said and other Slytherins chuckled.

"Oh finally talking about something else other than yourself Malfoy," Ron said perking up to the conversation of Quidditch.

Malfoy was about to speak but Professor Snape reached up to the class.

"Why on earth are you all still in the hallway," Professor Snape drawled and his eyes landed on Ron.

"Mr. Weasley, trying to make trouble?" Malfoy smirked as he watched the scene unfold.

"Professor he wasn't doing anything. He was just...trying to make a conversation," Harry spoke up for Ron.

"Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy having a conversation? Really Potter, you are a horrible liar," Professor Snape said and the Slytherins chuckled again.

Hermione stayed quiet watching as her best friends walked in the class furiously. She felt like she should've spoke up but she didn't. She sat next to Harry and began to take out her Potions book as Snape settled in and began his lesson.

"Today we will be brewing a potion that will need absolute concentration and attention," Professor Snape said and his eyes traveled over to Neville. "So Longbottom I suggest you listen closely unless you want to blow up the dungeons."

Neville turned a bright shade of red and looked down into his book. Professor Snape smirked triumphantly at this. The class continued on horribly and ended in a result of the Gryffindors losing fifty points and the Slytherins gaining those fifty.

"He is so…argh," Hermione scoffed walking towards her next class which was Transfigurations.

"Always taking points when we don't do anything wrong! Neville did good on his potion and Snape still took points. It's bloody wrong I tell you," Ron said also angry.

Harry stayed quiet, and Hermione knew why. Snape insulted his father and thirty points were taking from Gryffindor due to Harry's uproar of anger.

"It was wrong of what he said about Harry's dad," Ron said frowning.

"Can we just drop it already?" Harry asked angrily and sighed when both Ron and Hermione obeyed.

"Hermione what time is it that you watch the halls again?" Ron asked.

"At 8, why do you ask?" Hermione answered looking up from writing her final sentence to end the homework she had for the day.

"I was wondering...can you help me with my essay?" Ron said and handed her the short beginning of his Transfiguration essay.

"Sorry, can't," Hermione shook her head refusing to take the parchment and began cleaning up her schoolwork.

"Oh come on 'Mione!" Ron pleaded. "Just this once."

"Do you know how many times I helped you write essays from the past years?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah but what's one more going to do? It's not going to kill you," Ron said looking over at Harry for help.

"No Ron, and my answer is final so don't bother asking again. You have to learn to be responsible. Take Harry for instance," Hermione pointed at Harry and his eyes gave both Ron and Hermione questioning looks.

"He does his work. Not that much, but he still does it," Hermione said and Harry laughed.

Ron gave Harry a look but Harry shrugged and went back to doing his homework.

"I got to go," Hermione said getting up with her books.

"No you don't, it's not eight yet," Ron said giving another pleading look.

"Yes I do, it's almost eight and anyway I don't want to distract you while you work since I'm done with all of mine," Hermione gave a smile when she saw Ron's ears turn a shade of pink.

She left the common room hearing Ron call after her and she just continued to walk on.

"He seriously needs to learn that he has to do his own work," she thought and heard giggles echo from the end of the hall.

Hermione walked closer to the source of the girly giggle and her eyes widened at what she saw. Malfoy giving a Ravenclaw passionate kisses while his hands roamed over her body.

"Draco," the girl with long brown hair said as she moaned then giggled. "Draco, what if anyone sees us?"

"No one's going to see us," Malfoy said and his voice was husky.

Hermione's eyes flashed from curiosity to anger. She walked over to the make-out session the two were having.

"Look at what I've found here," Hermione said, her voice sounding angry.

Malfoy broke the kiss from the Ravenclaw so fast they both almost toppled over due to such movements.

"Shame on you Malfoy. I could report this you know," Hermione taunted and Malfoy smirked over at her.

"Like you would ever dare to," Malfoy smirked and the girl watched Hermione with a huge blush on her features.

"I always keep a dare Malfoy," Hermione nodded at him and looked over at the girl, "As for you I suggest that you go back to your homeroom unless you want me to take points off for such disorderly conduct. Young kids don't need to see such horrible influences as Malfoy and yourself," Hermione snapped at the girl who looked as though she was going to attack Hermione.

Hermione noticed Malfoy stare at her in surprise then back at the girl.

"Well what are you waiting for," Hermione said still looking at the girl. "Fine ten points-."

"I'm leaving. Geez, some people can be rude around here," the girl muttered but Hermione heard her.

"Ten points from Ravenclaw," Hermione said loudly enough so the girl could hear her. The girl looked back and scoffed before walking out of sight.

Hermione turned around and began walking towards Dumbledore's office. She could feel Malfoy's eyes boring into her back.

"Where are you going? And what the hell was that you just pulled off back there?" Malfoy asked catching up with her.

"I'm going to report you Malfoy since you dared me to, and as for that other thing, I was just doing my job as Head Girl," Hermione shrugged and continued to walk ahead of him.

"Who are you?" Malfoy asked and Hermione smirked.

"Hermione Jane Granger and may I ask who you are?" Hermione asked with a small chuckle.

"Don't be smart with me Granger, you know what I meant," Malfoy snapped and Hermione ignored him.

"Answer me Granger," Malfoy's voice sounded a bit more angry and Hermione continued to ignore him.

"Damnit Granger," Malfoy said grabbing Hermione's arm roughly and pushed her into the wall. Her head hit the wall and made a soft thud.

"Ow Malfoy! What the hell is wrong with you?" Hermione asked angrily, her head now giving soft throbs.

"I said to answer me," Malfoy growled and Hermione pushed him off.

"What if I don't want to?" Hermione asked rubbing the back of her head then turned and continued going towards Dumbledore's office.

"I'll make you answer me," Malfoy said following her.

"Please Malfoy, I don't have time to answer you," Hermione rolled her eyes and was grabbed roughly by him again.

"That hurts you know," Hermione winced and looked up at him.

"Do I look like I care if that hurt or not?" Malfoy asked not looking sorry at all. "Answer me."

"Damn Malfoy, you take things so serious," Hermione broke from his grip again. She was beginning to like the aggressive way he treated her.

"Who are you?" he asked again.

"I'm myself Malfoy, I haven't changed to anyone or anything," Hermione threw her arms up in anger. "I swear you can be so damn annoying at times."

"See that's I mean," Malfoy walked up to her. "One day you're so damn happy, the next you're quiet and look like you're angry, now you're swearing, this isn't the Granger I know."

"Then who's the 'Granger' that you do know? Please tell me, I'm just dying to know," Hermione said sarcastically.

"I know a Granger who's too smart for her own good. Who never keeps her nose out of other people's buisiness. Who hangs out with the stupid Scarhead and the poor Weasel. And not to mention is a Mudblood," Malfoy said watching her reaction.

"Oh shut up Malfoy," Hermione shook her head and ignored the Mudblood part. "There's no need to bring them in this."

"Why not? I thought you just loved to have them in everything," Malfoy muttered.

"You don't know me then," Hermione said with a small smirk.

"I would have to say the same," Malfoy sneered.

"And why's that?" Hermione asked.

"Because you think we Slytherins are depressing. Didn't think I'd forget that that huh?" Malfoy answered.

"Well you can be sometimes," Hermione teased hoping he would catch the bait. Her insides cheered when he did.

"No I'm not," he said and looked around to see if anyone was in the halls. He then grabbed her hand and this time pushed her to the floor.

"Ahh Malfoy," Hermione yelled as she fell on the floor and looked up at him angrily. "What the-"

Hermione was cut off as he pushed her back on the floor, his body was guarding hers as though preventing her from breaking from his tight grip.

"Malfoy," Hermione stared up at him with wide eyes. Her heart began to beat much faster as she saw his eyes search every part of her body.

"Malfoy get off of me," Hermione spoke quietly as she felt him slowly move into her. She caught her breath as she felt his erection on her waist.

Hermione was almost flipping inside of herself to the sensations not only she was getting from Malfoy being on her but to the sensation the she gave him. She felt his grip get loose and took this chance to make her move.

She turned over using all her strength and this time it was Malfoy who was laying on the floor staring up at her. Hermione using her instincts, began to slowly grind into his erection and was pleased to hear a moan escape from his lips.

She knew her eyes had become hazy due to the desire she felt rise in her. Her eyes roamed over his body as she continued to rock back and forth on him. It felt just like her dream while on her way to Hogwarts.

"Am I depressing now?" Malfoy asked in a quiet but deep voice.

"No," Hermione answered staring into his eyes. It was now reality that the chocolate brown eyes met stormy grey ones. Hermione slowly moved down, their lips slowly brushed. She then looked into his eyes again.

"Malfoy," Hermione said quietly her breath tickling his cheeks.

"Hmm," Malfoy replied now wrapping is arms around her.

"Meet the real Hermione," Hermione said quietly closing the gap between them and felt his lips finally connecting with hers...
