Hey. Here's my new chappy. I had like half of it done once I updated the other chappy, but I just need to piece things together. Hope you like this!
Hermione woke up one morning about four weeks after her birthday on her couch. 'What am I doing here?' She thought to herself. Then the events of last night came rushing back to her. She smiled and tried to move Draco's arms from around here. He grunted and just pulled her closer. She giggled and said, "We're gonna be late."
"No we're not." Draco said.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Today's Saturday." Draco said. Hermione looked confused, and then laughed at herself. She snuggled back into Draco. After five minutes she got up. Draco looked upset and pouted. Hermione just laughed.
She went to her room and got her stuff for a shower. She looked around for a skirt when her eyes came to the flowers Draco got her about a month ago for her birthday. She put a spell on them so they would last three times as long. She smiled when she remembered the note. She went to look at it again.
Dear Hermione,
Happy 17th. I hope it's everything you want it to be. I like you a lot.
You're beautiful.
Dragon
She smiled again as she put down the note and picked up her stuff. When she went into the bathroom she saw Draco already partially undressed. She gasped and Draco turned around to see her. He was only in his boxers and he gave her a smirk.
"Umm..." Hermione said.
"Oh, were you gonna take a shower?" Hermione nodded. "Well, we could take one together…" Draco finished with his oh-so famous smirk.
Hermione returned the smirk and walked over to him. As she got closer Draco backed up against the wall. Hermione reached him and stood there. She put her hands on his chest and leaned in next to him like she was going to kiss him, but instead leaned in closer to his ear.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Hermione whispered into his ear. From the corner of her eyes she saw his smirk again. "Well, I guess I'll just take a bath then." With that she pushed off of him and went to the middle of the room and started a bath. She heard him say something and then get into the shower. She started testing the spouts, before she settled in, and found one with vanilla and hazelnut bubbles.
When Hermione pushed off of Draco and walked over to the bath, he just stood there dumbfounded. He smirked and muttered, "What a tease."
He got into the shower and started it. He let the water run down his back. Draco then washed his hair, his body, and got out. Hermione was surprisingly already gone. 'I couldn't have taken that long, could I?' Draco thought to himself. He went to his room to get dressed and found Hermione.
She looked up from his bed when he came in. She was already dressed in a button down short sleeve shirt and a skirt.
"Thought you'd never be done." She said. She got up from the bed and walked over to Draco. Draco felt his heartbeat quicken. He was also very aware that he only had a towel on.
Hermione backed him up to the wall. Draco watched her glide her hands up and down his chest and arms. "My, what quidditch can do." She said with a smile. She leaned into him once again. Draco waited for her to say something. Then he felt something on his neck. It shot shivers up and down his neck.
"What're you doing?" Draco asked. In response she started humming. The shivers increased and he noticed the start of an arousal. He felt her make her way up to his mouth where she pulled him into a kiss. She leaned against him, and the moment when he felt her loosen up, he turned her around.
She gasped when she came in contact to the wall, but started kissing him again with hunger. Draco smiled against her and was glad he was back in control. He slowed down her kisses and then started kissing her neck. She let out a moan and said his name at the same time.
Draco started undoing her shirt, and she let him. He slid his hands behind her back and tugged at the shirt. She wriggled out of it while Draco stared. He quickly got out of his faze and started kissing her again. She ran her hands down his bare chest and Draco pulled her closer as they kissed.
All of a sudden, "Hermione? Hermione, where are you?" came from downstairs.
"Quick! Give me something of yours to wear!" Hermione said panicking. Draco just stood there dumbfounded. Hermione grabbed the first thing she could find. Then she ran into her room and opened the door.
As Hermione grabbed a hoodie from off of Draco's bed she ran through the bathroom and put it on. She heard Draco groan from their encounter and smirked his famous smirk. Hermione ran into her room and looked in the mirror to make sure her hair looked fine.
She opened the door from her room and saw Ron, Harry, and Ginny. "What're you guys doing here?" Hermione asked. They all turned from the portal and looked at her. Ron's mouth dropped. "What?" Hermione asked irritated.
"Whose is that?" Ginny asked with a small smile. Hermione opened her mouth, but at that moment Draco came out of his room dressed and stopped when he noticed the three Gryffindors staring at him. He looked at Hermione, who in turn bit her lip. For a split second his face lit up and he winked at her. The next second, the look was gone.
They all looked between Draco and Hermione, Harry with a look of pure confusion, Ron with rage, and Ginny with a big smile. Hermione sighed. She started walking down the steps towards her friends. Ron backed away, shaking his head.
"It's just Draco's." Hermione said with a sweet smile. Ron started shaking his head harder and saying no. Harry's face was stony for a second, as if trying to put the pieces together. Then his face lit up, went dark, and then lit up again. He smiled at Hermione with approval. Ginny just giggled.
"So are you going out?" Ginny asked. She had known about the two since the day after Hermione's birthday. Hermione wiggled her finger at Draco and he came next to her. She placed her hands around his neck and kissed him. Hermione and Draco had been kissing a lot the past few weeks, and they had a routine. She heard Ron gasp with rage as Draco placed his hands around her waist as he always did, and Ginny laughed. Draco returned her kiss and then they broke away.
"Yeah, we are." Hermione said. Harry looked happy for her, and so did Ginny.
"Cool," Harry said. "So…wanna go to Hogsmaede?"
"Sure!" Draco, Hermione, and Ginny replied.
"Let's take the portal." Hermione added. Everyone nodded and started towards the portal.
"WHAT?" They heard Ron say in outrage. They all turned around and looked at him. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" Ron said again.
"Ron, are you ok?" Hermione asked.
"OK? AM I FUCKING OK? YOU'RE FUCKING KISSING A SLYTHERIN. HE USES GIRLS. YOU'RE BEING SO NIAVE!" Ron shouted at her.
"What are you saying Ron?" Hermione asked, raising her voice.
"WHAT AM I SAYING? HERMIONE, HE USES GIRLS LIKE YOU! GIRLS THAT THINK HE'S THE ALL MIGHTY SEX GOD. HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID HERMIONE?" Ron yelled at her.
"YOU'RE JUST BEING A FUCKING ASSHOLE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GIRLS LIKE ME? ARE YOU CALLING ME A SLUT? A WHORE! PANSY?" Hermione shouted at him. Draco looked confused and hurt.
"YES! BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING A SLUT! YOU'VE NEVER HAD SEX AND YOU JUST WANT IT TO BE WITH THE SEX GOD OF OUR SCHOOL. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS EVER SINCE YOU FOUND OUT YOU WERE A PURE BLOOD. YOU'VE BEEN ACTING LIKE ONE!" Ron shouted. Then softer he added "I thought you loved me."
"God Ron! Do we have to go over this every time we talk? Yes, I do love you, but not the way you think. I love Draco like that. Me and you are friends. Just friends!" Hermione said with her voice raised a little.
"But on the train last year…" Ron said as he looked in her eyes.
"Ron I know what happened. But that was one time." Hermione said.
"But then…" Ron started to say again.
"And then for what, two weeks in the summer? You broke up with me, let's not forget that. For Lavender, was it? I wouldn't let you bang me, but Lavender opened her legs for you which ever way you wanted. And then when she started liking Seamus, you came running back to me with a whole bunch of 'I'm so sorry Herms' shit." Hermione said. Ron looked to the floor.
"I know. I just wish you could love me again." Ron said.
"I love you like I've always loved you, as a friend. And for two weeks as my boyfriend. But that's it. Ok?" Hermione said as she turned around and grabbed Draco's hand. She kissed him on the cheek and whispered in his ear "We'll talk later." Draco nodded and gave her hand a squeeze.
They walked to the portal and yelled Hogsmaede. They arrived outside fluorish and blotts.
"Let's get some butterbeer." Harry suggested.
"Sure." Hermione said. They started walking towards the pub, but Draco stayed behind.
"You alright?" Hermione asked. Draco's eyes were cloudy and when she asked again he shook his head as if coming out of a trance.
"Yeah," He said absentmindedly. He started following her to the pub, barely realizing the worried glances she was giving him.
"…AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GIRLS LIKE ME? ARE YOU CALLING ME A SLUT? A WHORE! PANSY?" Hermione shouted. Draco's mouth opened as he looked confused.
'Is this really what people think of me? They think I've slept with every girl in the school? Only Blaise talks about that with me, and we're always just joking around. Is that what Hermione thinks of me?' Draco thought as numerous questions raced through his mind. He was pulled from his thoughts as Hermione grabbed his hand and kissed him on the cheek.
"We'll talk later." She whispered. He nodded as they went to the portal and said "Hogsmaede."
Draco was still thinking as he heard Hermione saying "Draco, you ok?"
"Yeah," He said still thinking. He felt Hermione slide her hand into his as she pulled him towards the pub. They saw a couple making out by the steps and Hermione easily recognized Ginny's red hair.
"We'll see you guys later then, K?" Hermione said. They broke apart blushing madly, but when they noticed Hermione and Draco were already leaving they went back to snogging.
Hermione smiled as she looked at Draco. He smiled back and stopped. Hermione stopped too and looked at him confused. Draco softly kissed her lips and pulled away, walking towards the pond. He heard Hermione following him as he sat down on a bench. She sat down next to him and looked at him quizzically.
"Is that really what you think of me?" Draco croaked.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"That I go around and sleep with every girl who'll let me? Or that I'd sleep with Pansy?" Draco said his eyes boring into her.
"You mean, you didn't?" Hermione said.
"No, not really." Draco said.
"Please don't tell me you did it with Pansy." Hermione said.
"Merlin, no! That's down right disgusting! I've done it with maybe 10 girls, but that's it." Draco said.
"Oh, I've done it with 5." Hermione said.
"Who? When? Where? Why?" Draco asked, his face looking furious.
"Woah, Draco, calm down. It's no big deal." Hermione said laughing.
Draco sighed "You're right." He said. They sat in silence for a minute and listened to the water.
Hermione slid her hand into Draco's like she had done their first day of classes. She held his hand and squeezed it. He squeezed back.
"You're beautiful." Hermione said, breaking the silence. Draco turned to look at her. Before he could say anything Hermione kissed him. Draco felt his heart skip a beat and started to feel like he couldn't breathe, but he still kissed her.
Hermione broke away first and said, "We'd better go. We have that meeting for the Halloween Ball."
"Ok." Draco said reluctantly.
They both got up from the bench and started walking towards the portal. They saw Harry and Ginny coming out of Honeydukes and went to the portal. They arrived back at the common room with about 10 minutes to get ready for their meeting.
They both said good-bye to Harry and Ginny. Hermione remembered that she only had her bra on under Draco's hoodie so she went to her room and got a shirt on. Draco waited for Hermione on the couch. When she came down they went to the meeting by using the portal. Everyone else was already in his office so they sat down at the head of the circle.
"Alright, since everyone is here we can start. As you know we're planning the Halloween ball. And I have a surprise for you." Dumbledore said. Everyone in the circle sat up and leaned towards him. "Some students from the American wizarding school, Boggleworth, will be coming…"
"Oh my gosh! Are you serious!" Hermione practically screamed.
"Yes I am Ms.Snakin. I also understand you have cousins who go there. Three in fact."
"Three? I know Tom and Emma go there but who else?"
"A Snakin. Her name is Mandi."
"Really?" Hermione said. "Weird."
"Yes, anyway, students will be coming the Friday before Halloween and stay until Easter Break. They will be sorted and then take the same classes as they would in Bogglesworth. So, now that we know that, what do you guys want to do for the ball?"
"Well, maybe we could do something like a muggle thing. With Haunted Houses and Hayrides. What muggles think about Halloween." Padma said.
"Yeah, and we could have them play muggle music." Cho said.
"What about some muggle horror movies Professor?" Hermione asked.
"Sounds good girls. But there's one problem. How are we going to fit this into one night?" Dumbledore said.
"I know Professor, why don't we break up all of these things into one week? Like Monday could be the Haunted House, Tuesday could be the Hayrides, Wednesday could be a horror movie marathon, and Thursday could be that Trick or Treat thing." Draco said.
"What's Trick or Treat?" Kevin asked.
"It's when everyone dresses up and goes from door to door saying 'Trick or Treat!' and then they get candy or little games and things." Hermione said sounding bored. She was still mad at Kevin for what he said on the first day of term.
"We could have the portraits be the doors and they could give out clues as to where to find the prizes. We can have someone working a prize booth and for every clue, they get a certain number of prizes." Ernie said.
"That's brilliant!" Padma replied.
"Sounds good to me." Dumbledore said. "Now, what will we do at the dance?"
"Well, we could bob for apples, have a pumpkin carving contest, and dance." Hermione said.
"Sounds good. What about the decorations?" Dumbledore said looking around.
"Well, we should definitely have black and orange as our color themes. We could have streamers, balloons, confetti, pumpkins, candles, and maybe hats." Padma said. They finished sorting everything out for the ball and everyone got up to leave. Once everyone was outside of the Headmaster's door, Kevin pulled Hermione aside.
"What do you want?" Hermione said with a grimace.
"Listen, I just want to say I am really sorry about the dance. I was totally out of line, and I don't know why I did it. I feel really bad about yelling at you and Malfoy. Will you accept my apology?" Kevin said.
"I'll consider your apology. Maybe I'll forgive you." Hermione said. He smiled and nodded.
Hermione turned around and saw Draco leaning against a wall waiting for her. She walked over to him and leaned on him. He looked up and smiled. She planted her lips on his and gave him a kiss. He kissed her back and then they made their way to the Great Hall for dinner holding hands. Before they went into the Great Hall Hermione let go of Draco's hand.
"Why don't we give them something to talk about at the Ball?" Hermione said when she noticed Draco's face. He smirked then nodded. Hermione gave him a long kiss and then walked into the hall with a small smile. Draco walked in moments later.
Hermione walked in and sat down by Ginny. She turned to her best friend and said "Guess whose coming to the Halloween Ball."
"Who?" Ginny asked.
"Emma!" Hermione said happily.
"Oh…my…gosh… are you serious?" Ginny asked again.
"Totally. I'll owl her about our dance. Maybe we can do it." Hermione said. "Oh, and I found out my cousin that I haven't met yet will come. Her name's Mandi. Maybe we can corrupt her too." Hermione finished with a smile and a wink. Ron and Harry were looking between the two with confused faces.
"Oh yeah, that would be awesome. Maybe when you owl Em you can ask her if she knows Mandi and to have her owl you. Who knows, if Em knows her she's probably been corrupted by now." Ginny said with a laugh as she and Hermione finished eating, leaving the boys to stare at them.
The rest of dinner flew by and Hermione met Draco at the portrait of a princess in a castle. This was their usual meeting place after dinner, and hardly anyone came by there. They snogged for a couple of minutes and then headed up to their dorm room. Hermione got ready for bed and walked into Draco's room. He was already asleep. She snuggled into him and he stirred.
"I knew you couldn't resist my arms." Draco said as he wrapped them around her. Hermione giggled and turned her head to look at them as they shared a good-night kiss and drifted off to sleep in each others arms.
