5. Thank you?
Draco woke, the sun shining on his face. He sat up and yawned, then threw on some jeans a shirt. He looked out of his window onto the Hogwarts ground…another day…he thought. Then he shook his head. No…not just another day…today's different. A grin spread across his face. Quite a while later he ran out the door, stopping before he got to Hermione's room. He quickly ran his fingers through his messy blonde hair before knocking lightly on her door.
"Come in!" he heard Hermione muffle.
He opened the door to see Hermione sitting on her bed in her pajamas, which consisted of a very tight black tank top and the tiniest shorts he'd ever seen. He stared at her for a second, before slowly walking over to her.
"Hey…" she smiled at him as he sat next to her. She seemed a little agitated, almost frustrated.
"Hey…" he mumbled. This was weird. "Um…so…do you want to go down to break…" but he didn't finish. Hermione had suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and engaged him in a hungry kiss. He smiled as she broke away to take a breath.
"I've been waiting for that all nigh…" again he didn't finish. Hermione had just ignored him and instead latched onto his lips again and pushed him down onto her bed. Draco was a little startled by her eagerness, but he was overjoyed at the same time - he definitely wasn't going to complain. After getting used to the feel of Hermione's body on top of his, he relaxed and let her carry on with her quest. She was desperate for him; she had been all night. She couldn't stop her animal-like behavior…she just wanted him so bad. She kissed him powerfully, her tongue rolling over his lips and exploring his mouth. Her delicate hands moved up his shirt, massaging the toned, firm muscles on his stomach, and moving up to his chest. Draco wrapped his muscular arms around her waist and rubbed the small of her back. She made a small noise of pleasure, and was suddenly overtaken with overwhelming desire. She could have ripped off all his clothes but instead roughly removed his shirt. Draco lay back in surprise, happy, but almost amused. She attacked his lips again, and Draco pressed her body down onto his. Her lips started to explore the rest of his bare body, and she took a moment to admire his strong, toned muscles that he had gained from Quidditch practice. She fiercely began to suck on his neck, feeling the heat of his body on her tongue. After she had sucked, licked, felt or kissed every part of his body that wasn't clothed, she came back up level to his face again, out of breath. Draco had a smirk on his face, and was looking at her in a peculiar way.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing…" he said, still smiling at her, "just enjoying myself…"
She smiled and kissed him softly and sweetly on lips, which was a change. She looked back into his pale, sky blue eyes, and felt like she couldn't breath. She didn't know why she had pounced on him the way she did, it wasn't really like her, but with Draco she felt different, she didn't feel like herself. She felt better. She kissed him again, slowly sucking on his bottom lip. Draco groaned and rolled her off him and to the side of him. Finally, their lips broke away, and Draco gazed into her warm chocolate eyes. He pulled her closer to him and buried his face in her hair. They lay their for a while, breathing slowly, just enjoying the feeling of being in each others arms.
"Hmm…" Hermione sighed, resting her head on his chest, "Draco…I…love you…" she mumbled sleepily. Draco's half closed eyes shot open. What did she just say? A funny feeling formed in his stomach.
"Err…what?" he asked, pulling away from her slightly. She looked up at him, her sleepy eyes now wide awake.
"Um…I…I…"she looked at his puzzled expression. Oh my god…she thought.
"Uhh…well…nothing" she said quickly, sitting up and moving away from him.
"No…no, what did you say?" Draco asked, his intense blue eyes gazing at her.
"Um…" Hermione suddenly felt embarrassed, her cheeks were going red, "well…" she stuttered. She looked back up at him, his messy blonde hair, his big, blue eyes, it seemed as though he could see right through her…
"I love you," she said slowly, looking at him closely. Draco felt a weight inside him drop. Hermione looked at him expectantly.
"Um…thanks…?" he replied, feeling like a complete idiot. He felt panicked and his palms were sweating. An extremely awkward moment passed.
"Err…your welcome?" Hermione said uneasily, looking really, really confused. She shook her head, and got up from her bed.
"Well…I should probably get dressed now…I'll see you later?" she mumbled, not looking at him, and walking over to her drawer.
"Ok…" Draco said quickly, "Bye." He got up and walked out of her room, sweating. You are such a fucking idiot! His thoughts screamed why didn't you just say you loved her too? Is that really so hard? He ran into his room shutting the door quickly behind him. He ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head. What is wrong with me?
Harry in sat the empty Gryffindor common room, brooding. He'd made a decision…he just didn't know how to tell people about it. He stared into the blazing fire, questions running through his mind. Then he felt a light tap on his shoulder.
"Hey…" Lavender said softly, joining him. He tried to smile back at her, but he wasn't very successful. Lavender looked at him, worried.
"Harry…" she muttered, taking his hand. He turned to look into her pale, silvery eyes.
"Harry, I've been thinking and…well, I know this is going to cause mayhem for you, and I understand if you want to stay here at Hogwarts. I think that I could manage bringing up a child on my own…I mean, I'd need financial support but…" Harry put a finger to her soft lips.
"I've made up my mind Lav, I'm not going to change it now. This is my fault; I won't let you have this huge burden on yourself your whole life. I love you, and I'll love this child the way I'm supposed to" he said quietly. Lavender felt a warm feeling inside her, and smiled.
"I love you Harry…" she whispered, sobbing softly. Harry lifter her face to his and gave her a short, but sweet kiss. They lay back on the sofa together, Harry's arm around her, comforting her as she sobbed. She rested a hand on her stomach, and Harry looked down- a faint smiled crossed his face. He placed his hand on top of hers, and they snuggled up together, both of them contemplating Harry's decision, and wondering about there sudden new future. It seemed Cho had helped him unintentionally. Her words kept running through his head every time he thought about what he had done to Lavender, Hermione and Cho herself. "I suggest you wise up Potter, because sneaky little shits like you go no where in this world!" It was so true, and Harry realised that now. He was glad he had. Hermione and Cho were both very special to him, but his feelings for them came nowhere near the ones he was starting to feel for Lavender. "Tomorrow," Harry said boldly, "Tomorrow we will tell Dumbledore that... we're leaving" His voice only wavered slightly.
Hermione, who was very confused, grabbed her clothes and ran to the door of the bathroom. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't hear the shower turn off. She opened the door and stepped in, only to find Draco freeze in the act of stepping out of the shower, completely naked. "I...I...w..." Hermione stammered blushing. Draco glanced down and realised his exposure. She gaped, his body was gorgeous. He had strong arms, and his abs were rippled in a six pack. Her eyes traveled downwards before she could stop herself. Wow! She thought, now I understand why they call him the Slytherin Sex God! Hermione quickly looked down, remembering what she was staring at. Draco made to grab a towel quickly, but slipped on the wet tile and went skidding across the bathroom on his feet with towel in hand. He crashed into Hermione, still naked, and they ended up on the floor. Hermione had somehow ended up lying on to of him. The towel lay at his side. Suddenly Draco smirked "I know I'm hot and everything but, damn Granger you waste no time!" Hermione playfully hit his bare chest. "Shut up" She said before rising. She picked up the towel and threw it on his head so it covered his face. Before leaving she glanced one last time at his body... all of it. Draco smirked from under the towel. He gave her some time to stare at him before removing the towel from his face at the sound of her retreating footsteps.
Hermione lent her back against the bathroom door. I can't believe what I just saw... NO... you mean what you just did! Hermione mentally slapped herself. The door opened and Hermione stumbled backwards into a still shirtless Draco. "Come back for more have you?" Draco laughed. Then raised his eyebrows when he spun her around to find her eyes shut tight. Taking advantage of the situation, Draco leaned in and kissed her. It only took a few moments for her eyes to flutter open, and kiss back. When they finally broke apart. Hermione smiled. "You have a fish belly!" She giggled. Draco looked down at his white stomach. "Hey, The Malfoy Manner doesn't get much sun!" He defended himself in mock hurt. "Sure, sure." She replied rolling her eyes. She suddenly leaned up towards him, catching Draco by surprise. She whispered seductively in his ear, "If you excuse me, I have to go and have a nice. Hot. Bath." She separated the last words into their own sentences. She nibbled his ear before leaning back again. Draco groaned longingly, "Can I come?" He suggested, trying to be sexy but sounding more like a child. Hermione smirked. She traced her finger over his rippling abs, and he shuddered. "I know I'm hot and everything, but damn Malfoy you waste no time," She said before capturing his lips in a brief kiss and brushing passed him. She was careful to lock the door after closing it.
Draco leant his head against the wall next to the door and groaned when he heard running taps. He knew he deserved that payback, but he never knew Hermione could be such a tease. Still feeling guilty from their conversation this morning Draco stepped out of the portrait. He wasn't sure where he and Hermione stood now. Tonight he thought tonight I will know where we stand. Everything had to be perfect. He had spent quite a while that morning carefully planning out everything. He spent at least an hour walking through Hogwarts, and through his plan. He couldn't do anything just yet; it would have to wait.
Harry took a deep breath; he looked at the person walking next to him. His heart slowed down, Lavender somehow made him feel calm. She looked twice as bad as he felt. Was it the pregnancy or the fact that they had to leave Hogwarts? They found themselves at the entrance to Dumbledore's office. Lavender looked over at Harry nervously, and Harry squeezed her hand.
"You ok?" he said shakily. She looked up at him, her big grey eyes full of anxiety.
"Um…not really," she said sighing, "we better go in then…"
"Chocolate pudding" Harry mumbled, and they were granted entrance into Dumbledore's room.
"Ah…Mr. Potter and Miss Brown, how lovely to see you both, what brings you here?" Dumbledore asked kindly, but in an almost knowing way. He sat at a big, red, velvet chair behind his desk, looking up at them from under his shiny half-moon spectacles. Harry and Lavender exchanged glances then looked at Dumbledore.
"Please, make yourselves comfortable!" Dumbledore said, sensing the pair's unease. He gestured towards two chairs and Harry and Lavender slowly sat down.
"So, what is it you would like to discuss with me?" Dumbledore asked quietly, looking up at them as thought he already knew.
"Well…erm…" Harry didn't know what to say, he looked over at Lavender for help but she seemed frozen with worry, "uh…." he gulped and took at deep breath before he started telling Dumbledore the situation. A few minutes passed, and Harry searched Dumbledore's face for any hint of what he thought, but found nothing. Dumbledore looked neither sad, surprised or angry, but Harry could see traces of disappointment flicker in his mystical eyes. After what seemed like ages, Dumbledore let out a sigh.
"Ah…well." He said softly, looking at the pair. Harry saw sadness leaking into Dumbledore's expression, "I never would have thought…" he mumbled, but shook himself out of his daze. "Well, then…you have obviously made a decision, I wont ask you to re-consider or think it over, I'll just make the proper arrangements…" Dumbledore muttered, seeming lost in thought. "Yes…well, you can both take your exams early…I'll do all the best I can to help you. Harry…Harry my boy…" Dumbledore looked at him, worry flashed across his face, "I'll…I'll try to set you up with a job at the Ministry if you'd like…it could only be temporary but I fear that with out it you wont be able to manage…" he quickly regained his composure and sat up straighter.
"Well, I wish you both the best of luck then, it has been an honour having two such wonderful students at my school." He smiled sadly, and dismissed them. Harry felt a huge hole in his stomach. He felt like he'd just been beaten up. His head was spinning…his mind racing. Had he just confirmed the worst decision of his life?
