How Couldn't I?
Chapter Two
She hadn't been able to sleep. She had tossed and turned all night long. Her mind racing, and her thoughts twisting around in her overworked brain. She had avoided thinking about him all day. Kept her back turned away from him. Her eyes focused on the lesson. Her attention turned to her friends. It had worked out pretty well but, now lying in the dark with nothing to think about, she couldn't take her mind off him.
How vulnerable he had seemed. How honest he had been with her in those few moments. Those few moments when something over came her senses. Something stronger the reason. Something she was sure she couldn't learn about in a book. But, she had felt it, whatever that something happened to be, and she knew he had to.
"Damn." She pounded the mattress with her fist. She sat up. Sleep was useless and it was only frustrating her more. She looked around the darkened room at the other sleeping girls. She wished she could tell her friends about him but she wasn't even sure what he was. And she was in no mood for, 'Good job Hermione he is sooo hot.' She loved her friends, she really did, but they were sixteen-year-old girls. As for Harry and Ron, yeah right.
Grabbing her robe she walked quietly out of the room. She needed some air, to clear her mind and think. Sure walking around the school after curfew was frowned upon but most of the teachers understood insomnia. It wasn't uncommon to find a few students here and there unable to sleep or studying in the library. The place she spent most of her after hours. But not tonight. Tonight she knew where she walking to. She had to talk to him. After a few minutes of twisting corridors and stone walls she reached the place they had meet the night before. Somehow by chance they had run into each other but tonight would be no accident. If he would actually come or if her stressed mind was only playing with her.
She stood there a few moments. Tapping her foot on the cold floor. She was being ridiculous, this much she knew. He wouldn't show up. He probably thought she had temporarily gone insane the night before. Figured it was a one-time thing. It was Draco Malfoy for Gods sake. The player, the jerk, the pureblood who would rather die then be seen with a "Mudblood." But then again she couldn't be so sure. Over the last two years they had had almost a dozen civilized conversations. Not much but for them it was like, well it was above and beyond what she ever thought possible.
With all these thoughts dancing about her mind she failed to her to here the footsteps behind her. The boy with silver hair staring down the petit girl obviously in a trance on thought. He reached her and stood there for a moment. With her back to him he was free to look her up and down without a glare. He wasn't sure whether to kill her or kiss her. He had a feeling this was going to become the normal balance of there relationship. After a few moments he decided to play fair. Well as fair as he could be. He bent down and place his mouth centimeters from her ear.
"Granger, breaking curfew tisk tisk." His voice was full of sarcasm but she still jumper. Her concentration broken by him. She turned her head quickly and faced him. Her face temporarily flushed. It faded though when she saw the traditional smirk on his face.
"I can say the same for you Malfoy." Her eyes squinted at him. She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes but only one of us is wearing are pajamas." She self-consciously looked down at her looked at her flannel pants and small white T-shirt.
"Shut up Malfoy." She snapped at him as she pulled her robe tighter around her frame. He began to walk around her. Circling her like she was his pray or something.
"Oh I can think of other ways to describe what I'm thinking." When he finally stopped and faced her she smiled at him sweetly.
"Do it and die." It was his turn to raise and eyebrow.
"Oh really?" She nodded. Weakly he noticed. "Well I hope you know I fear nothing. Not even death." She let out a laugh.
"Liar, I seen you scared plenty of times."
"When." He said it like a small child getting blamed for misbehaving.
"Last night first of all." The moment she said it she caught her mistake. She had walked right into it.
"Last night, last night. God what was last night again." She was looking down at the ground. Her eyes hidden from him. He took a step forward and reached out lifting her chin up to face him. Before she could move he bent down and captured her lips. He put his hands around her neck, lightly pulling her into a deeper kiss. Still it was gentler then the night before. Simpler. Sweeter. He pulled away this time. "Oh yeah. I remember now." He said in a whisper.
"What, why? Why did you do that?" Her voice was small. She was short of breath.
"How couldn't I Granger? You said I was a fast learner." He smirked.
"And?" She was confused by his statement. For the second time that night he bent down putting his lips next to her ear.
"And I'm an overachiever in everything I do." He kissed her neck and before she knew it he was gone. Leaving her alone in the hallway.
