Hey all! I got a very mixed impression of the last chapter some people loved it, some people thought it was the best, some people thought it wasn't as good as others. Well, that's good; I'll try EXTRA hard with this chapter. Thanks for all the reviews, I've decided that doing individual thank you's is going to be tough. :-( So, if you're upset about the lack of individual thank you's, my apologies it would take me the best part of an hour or two, to thank you all. You see a few other sides of Draco and it may explain a bit about the quick forgiving last chapter.


Draco looked at Hermione who was laid in his arms. He was finding it hard to sleep.

Draco's POV

I don't know. Should I have forgiven her so easily? I mean, of course she's my friend, girlfriend but what she did today was... Harsh. And unfair. I mean, I trust her when she says she didn't do anything with Boot, but still. She implied it. That hurt, in fact I want to wake her up now, show her how much it hurt. Fuck her so hard; get all this pain out of me and into her. So she screams my name over and over again, begging me to cause her more pleasure and to stop with the pain. Then I'd whisper in her ear, that without pain there couldn't be this amount of pleasure and carry on nailing her against the bed until her knuckles were white, her hair was a mess, her bones ached, her muscles ached, and her throat ached from calling Draco over and over. So when she spoke her voice was cracked, so her throat was hoarse, so it hurt her to even eat. I know that sounds awful but she'd have had so much pleasure it would have been all right.

Then again part of me just want to let her in. Let her be comforted by me. Let her rely on me, let her lean on me, let her want me- let her need me. I want to be needed, especially by her. I want her to know I am the one who wears the trousers, or robes if you please, in this relationship. I'm a control freak, and I don't like it when she slips from my fingers like sand. I need her to be here, and she's going to be, I know she always will be anyway, but a little bit of my charm will keep my mind at rest. What I'm saying is that you know, even without help from me she'd be here for me, but a little bit of my help and stuff seems to secure it.

I don't know, part of me is telling myself to wake up and kiss her wildly, yet she looks so peaceful when she's sleeping. So innocent. So pure.

Her black hair is falling by her perfect chest that is covered by a silky black bra. Her smooth stomach slightly curled pushing her back against me. Her hips letting her bend gracefully. She looks flawless. Everything seems perfect. Her mouth is pulled into a frown, but her eyes are not open so I cannot see whether it is a joke or she is upset. I'm guessing she's happy. Her hands are clinging onto my arm, gently. Almost as if she isn't sure whether I'm there.

But I am.

End of POV

Draco fell asleep, after about an hour of domineering controlling thoughts about Hermione and his life in general. He woke up as soon as the sun rose in the morning. Hermione was still asleep so he gently pulled away from her and got out of bed. He looked at her face, which was smiling now, and got into the shower. He washed his hair and washed. He got out after spending about ten minutes letting the cooling water dribble down his body. He wrapped a white towel around his lower body and grabbed another and walked into his bedroom. He bent over and rubbed his hair with the towel, little droplets of water ran down his chest occasionally catching the sun's rays.

After drying himself, Draco was content with sitting in the common room in just a towel. He wasn't quite sure how fast time was flying by until Harry and Blaise knocked on the portrait. Hermione and Draco had an unspoken agreement NOT to tell their friends the password in case they walked in on.... Something.

"Is it time already?" Draco asked lazily, sounding rather like his old self.

"No, you've got another good hour" Blaise said,

"Where's Hermione?"

"She's... Busy" Draco said,

"Doing what?" Harry said looking confused,

"Posting a letter" He paused, "In the owlery... Or so I believe"

"Oh alright then" Harry replied looking slightly put out,

"Sit down I'm going to go get changed" Draco smiled, and backed away still smiling fakely then turned and ran up the stairs two at a time.

"'Mione" Draco pushed her shoulder, "Mione wake up!"

"What?" Hermione said fuzzily,

"Harry and Blaise are here and you're in my bed, making it obvious you've slept here. So go back to your room and get dressed and when you come down the stairs, I'll say I thought you were at the owlery" Hermione looked quite alert now, "You say you were you got back whilst I was in the shower"

"Gotcha" She gave him a peck on the cheek and snuck out.

"Right clothes" Draco said pulling on a charcoal grey sweater and some black trousers. He pulled some robes over the top and shoved his wand in his pocket. He looked at his hair in the mirror and decided to leave it hanging. It grew backwards now after many years of gelling, but without the gel it didn't look quite so... Queer. He went out of his bedroom shutting the door and then went downstairs.

"Righty oh"

"No gel or styling then?" Harry asked,

"No" Draco said slumping himself over an armchair lazily,

"Whatever will I do without my gay friend" Harry said laughing, Blaise laughed along with him,

"I am not gay ask Her-anyone!" He said, he nearly slipped up,

"Ask who?"

"Anyone Blaise, anyone" Draco said replying to his friend.

"Guess what's happening today!" Harry said,

"Er... What?" Blaise asked,

"Ginny and Luna's potion lesson!"

"Nice" Draco said,

"Hey everyone!" Hermione said,

"I thought you were at the owlery" Harry said suspiciously,

"Me too" Draco said,

"I came back whilst you were in the bathroom"

"Oh right" Draco said,

"Breakfast then?" Blaise asked,

"I thought we had ages" Draco said,

"Yeah, that was just to get you ready quicker the girls are waiting"

As they were walking out of the door, Hermione brushed her hand over Draco's and gave him a smile. He returned it and they carried on as if nothing was going on between them. No one seemed to have a clue, they got suspicious but seemed to trust Hermione and Draco. Hermione wasn't sure if she could keep it in that long. Draco would keep it in for as long as Hermione wanted, the little touches and secrets made it quite entertaining.
