Chapter 9

A few weeks had gone by since the incident between Hermione and Draco. Hermione felt weird talking to Harry and Ron now. She knew that if she let anything slip of Draco and her that they would automatically scold her for it. She didn't want that right now. She received a decent grade on the project for Snape seeing as Draco didn't finish everything he was supposed to do. But that was ok. Grades didn't seem to be a matter anymore.

She was sitting with Harry and the rest at lunch waiting till they had to go back to class. She was eyeing Draco sitting next to Crabbe and Goyle. He seemed to be doing the same and enjoying it too. Ron noticed this and was determined to find out whom it was she was eyeing in such a way.

"Hermione who you looking at like that?" Ron asked nudging her in the side to get her attention since she seemed to be a little to occupied with Draco.

"Hmm.. What is it Ron?" She replied looking away from Draco to give Ron a confusing look.

"I said who you looking at like that?"

"No one Ron. Don't worry bout it." Hermione said grabbing a piece of bread and started munching on it.

"Well that sure wasn't a look I've ever seen you give someone." Ron said under his breath. Hermione blushed thinking of the incident.

After lunch they left finished the rest of their classes and retreated to their common room. Hermione sat heavily onto the sofa lost in dreams of her and Draco doing many things. Ron started to worry bout her. She wasn't acting herself, even Harry could tell.

But when they would ask her, she would turn away and say it was nothing. There was a new load of homework waiting to be done and for once Hermione didn't feel like working on it. She had only gotten a few sentences done on an essay requested by Professor Sprout.

She left to go to the girl's dorms a little after she had sat and pondered on what to write on her essay. Seeing that she couldn't find anything else she decided to go up to bed early. A good nights rest couldn't hurt. Just as she was pulling the covers about her she heard a faint tapping noise on the window beside her. She got up opening the window seeing it was Draco's owl; she took the piece of paper from it and petted it graciously.

"Well what do we have here?" Hermione said to herself fingering the sealed letter. Draco had written her to request her presence with him outside in front of the woods. It was still early so leaving to go outside wouldn't be unusual. She pulled on her robe and walked slowly down the stairs humming quietly to herself.

"Where are you going?" Harry asked watching her begin to open the portal door.

"Going out for a bit. Be back soon ok?"

"Ok…" Harry replied. She was acting weirder every time she talked to either him or Ron.

"Ron do you think something's going on between her and someone?"

"Well of course. Can't you see it? She hasn't worked on her homework like she usually does and at lunch today I caught her eyeing someone." He said back to Harry looking at the door as if she would come back.

Hermione walked closer to the woods. See saw Draco's blonde hair in the distant. She approached the tree he was leaning against she was greeted by him with a quick kiss on the lips.

"Why did you want to meet out here? There's always the library you know." She said looking into his eyes.

"Just wanted to get some alone time. Something wrong with that?" He asked give her a questioning look as if she didn't want to be here. Draco wanted to move faster with her. He wanted to kiss her and hold her more forever. Having her come here was a chance to do those things.

"Nothing's wrong with it. I was just wondering." Hermione whispered into his chest. He had been holding her tight against him. She felt awkward with him being like this. Something wasn't right.

"Did you finish the homework assignment?" She said right before he leaned down to kiss her again. He leaned his head back up and let her go.

"No not yet. Have you?" He knew where this was going. She was avoiding it. She shouldn't he was doing nothing wrong right? He had to be sure.

"No, I haven't either."

"Hermione did I do something wrong?" He asked looking at the grass.

"Why of course not. Why did you think that?"

"You didn't seem to want me to kiss you."

"Oh um…I just felt weird for a second I'm ok now." Well she told him that so he wouldn't think there was something up between them. Not much time for talking tonight and there was defiantly no time for fighting either.

He leaned back towards her capturing her lips in a kiss. He was increasingly getting faster in his movements. His tongue was edging close to the edge of her lips asking for entrance; his hand was also pretty far up her skirt. She answered his requested letting him plunge his tongue into her mouth, but his hand was getting dangerously close to where it should not be in the first place. Her breathing was getting to be quick and she was grasping for air once they broke apart. Draco dived again his tongue back where it was before. This was too much for Hermione right now. He was going way to fast. It wasn't how she pictured it in her mind. It defiantly wasn't what she pictured in her mind.

She started to push him away grabbing his hand and shoving it away. She pushed on his chest and turned her head away from him. "Stop, stop. Draco stop!" She pushed him harder this time, pushing his back to the tree behind him.

He wiped his mouth with his hand before speaking to her. "What's the matter? Thought you were having fun."

"Draco what is your problem? You're going way to fast. I would rather have things go slow than handing you my body to play with as your sex toy." And that was it. Things where easing way from what she thought would have been a perfect meeting out in the woods…
