That day at lunch, Hermione kept stealing glances at Draco whilst trying to seem interested in what Ginny was saying to her. "Hermione are you even listening to me?" Ginny asked annoyed. When Hermione didn't even turn to her she followed her gaze. At that moment Draco looked up and his eyes met Hermione's. He winked, and Hermione blushed. "Hermione!" Ginny exclaimed, "Did Draco Malfoy just wink at you?" Hermione looked down at her plate of food, her cheeks turning even more pink. Ginny suddenly stood up and grabbed Hermione's wrist. She dragged her mercilessly out of the hall.
"Gin..." Hermione protested, "It's really not that big a deal!" Hermione said finally managing to yank her arm out of her friends grip.
"No Hermione it is..." Ginny trailed off, "He asked me out a couple of weeks ago." Hermione's head shot up so fast her neck nearly cricked.
"What? And what did you say?" She asked trying to hide her hurt.
"I told him that I couldn't like him in that way..." Her voice became slightly weak, taking a deep breath she continued, "Because... I'm in love with someone else." Hermione beamed.
"That's great Ginny why didn't you tell me before?" Ginny frowned slightly, "Because I'm in love with Cho Chang." She said defiantly, her confidence returning to her. Hermione's mouth dropped open. "Hermione please don't think any different of me, I'm still the same old Ginny." She said her confidence suddenly drained again. Hermione hugged Ginny.
"Of course Ginny! I'm happy for you, I wouldn't care even if you wanted to shag a sheep... well maybe I would but that's beside the point!" Ginny laughed.
"So tell me Mione, whats up with you and Draco anyway?" Hermione sighed. "I wish I knew Gin, I wish I knew..."
It was time for Draco to put his plan into action. He carefully set up everything and then went out to the grounds and sat by the lake. Now all he had to do was wait. He had dressed in black jeans and a black shirt with a shiny silver-green dragon on it. It was around half five and the sky was bright, but close to setting. There was a cool breeze blowing softly and the sun rays trickled across the freshly cut grass. Perfect Draco thought. At least I hope it goes perfectly… he suddenly noticed that his hand was shaking and pulled out a packet of cigarettes, lighting one with his new silver dragon zippo, having clumsily dropped the last one in the lake. He inhaled deeply and chuckled as he remembered hitting her in the head with his last lighter.
Hermione returned to the common room that evening ready to curl up on the couch with her book. When she reached the sofa, however, she found that her book was not there. In its place was a single red rose and a note that read:
Hey gorgeous,
I returned your book to the library hope you find it!
love Draco
Hermione's heart fluttered as she reread the note. She inhaled the roses scent deeply. Did Draco Malfoy call her gorgeous? She chuckled, trying to imagine him saying something like that. She guessed that he wanted her to go to the library, which was where she hoped to find him. She practically skipped to the library, her heart lighter than it had ever been. To her disappointment, when she got to the library Draco was not there. Following instinct she searched the shelves of the muggle section for Chinese Cinderella. When she found it and took it from the shelf to reveal another rose, this time white, and a note at the back of the shelf. She gently opened it and read Draco's neat handwriting:
I knew you'd work it out!
If you go to the entrance to the Great Hall and walk twenty paces forward then twelve paces to the right, you will find the next rose,
love Draco
Hermione smiled to herself as she made her way to the entrance to the Great Hall. A couple of months back she would never have dreamed that Draco Malfoy would be capable of possessing even a small trace of human emotion, let alone create such a…well…romantic little adventure! With roses! She laughed out loud, and from the door, she walked twenty paces forward then twelve to the right, as instructed, and found herself at a suit of armor. Instead of clutching an ominous looking sword in its hand, it held a single red rose, and another note:
The final stop is where you will find me, I'll be waiting next to my drowned lighter!
love Draco
Hermione giggled. She remembered that evening when he had hit her in the head with the lighter. She couldn't wait to see him. As she made her way down the front steps and saw his white blonde hair shimmer in the evening sun, her stomach started doing flips. She walked silently up behind him, but he sensed her presence.
"I suppose you want a light do you?" Draco said cheekily sitting down next to him, but he instantly stood up, much to the surprise of Hermione, and held out his hand. She grinned up at him, what was he playing at? Once he had pulled her up he produced a single white rose from behind his back and held it in front of her face. He smirked at her surprise and obvious happiness. When she reached her hand up to take it he leaned in and captured her in a sweet passionate kiss. Hermione's arms slid around his neck. God, she had forgotten the feeling of ecstasy she felt every time his lips touched hers. Draco pulled away and scooped Hermione up into his arms, much like newlyweds would. She was surprised, and a little amused, but smiled at him longingly. He carried her through the corridors, thankfully not meeting anyone, and in through the portrait hole. Occasionally pausing to kiss her neck. He put her down once they were in the common room. Gently pulling away, Draco took a step backwards.
"Hermione Granger," He said formally yet in a very charming way, "Would you care to join me for dinner?" Hermione smiled, and tried not to let a small chuckle escape from her. What a gentleman!
"I couldn't think of anything I'd want to do more!" Hermione whispered in his ear, leaning in towards him so that she could feel the heat from his body. Draco grinned like an idiot, and bent his head to kiss her hand playfully. She laughed and followed him as he then led her to the common room, that had changed since Hermione had last been there. The fire was light, the couches were gone, and in there place was a candle lit table for two. "I know its cheesy but bear with me!" Draco told her.
Hermione laughed, "I love it!" She said. As they seated the dinner appeared before them. They ate and shared pleasant conversations. Draco appeared quite interested in muggle technology. When they finally reached a comfortable silence, Draco pulled out his wand and flicked it. Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls started to play. Draco stood up and held out his hand.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked, smirking a little.
Hermione took his hand, "I'd love to!" She beamed at him, playing along. He pulled her close to him, so that their foreheads were touching, and rested his hands around her waist. They swayed softly to the music, spending the whole song in a trance, lost in each others eyes. At the end of the song Draco gave Hermione a slow, soft kiss, and looked deeply into her eyes.
"Hermione, I love you." He whispered, looking at her intensely, with a sincere look. She smiled, her eyes shimmering, and a strange feeling overcame her. She kissed him tenderly on the lips, her hand stroking his cheek.
"Thank you," murmured, a smile lighting up her face. Draco grinned and kissed her again before scooping her up again.
He carried her to the bathroom. When they reached the door to the bathroom he took his arm out from under her legs, allowing her to gracefully land standing. He passionately kissed her. She had her back to the bathroom door and he gently pushed her backwards, and reached behind her to open the door. Once they were inside the bathroom he pulled away, and smiled at her. She smiled back, and he nodded over her shoulder.
Hermione turned around and her breath got caught in her chest. There were rose petals sprinkled around the bathroom. The swimming pool sized bath tub was filled, and there was a thick pink foam on toam with rose petals sprinkle carefully on that. Small tea-light candles lit the ceiling, which had been enchanted to float.
"Wow! Draco this is beautiful!" She said gasped.
"I wouldn't have it any other way for you!" He said softly from behind her before gently kissing her neck. She turned to face him, and kissed him passionately, allowing his tongue to slide into her mouth. They explored each others mouths, with hunger; yet the kiss was soft and sweet. His hands traveled up her blouse. His touch made her shiver and left a tingling sensation. Without breaking the kiss, she slowly began to unbutton his shirt; and eventually slipped it off. Again she was amazed at his rippling six-pack, and took a moment to admire his toned muscles. She ran her finger down his chest making him shudder, and pressed herself up against him, her hand resting on the button of his trousers. She looked up at Draco questioningly, her brown eyes wide.
Draco broke away and said quietly, "Hermione, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Draco, it's ok. I definitely want to do this" She said seductively. She looked up at him reassuringly, he looked a little bit uncertain. "Don't worry about it!" she smirked naughtily, slowly unzipping his trousers. Draco looked amused, and happily let her slip her hand down into them. With her permission, Draco pulled off her blouse. Draco pulled his lips from hers and started a trail of kisses down her neck and chest. He then unhooked her bra and kissed her breasts softly before returning to her lips. Hermione groaned into his mouth. She let her hands trail down his finely chiseled abs and slowly she slipped off his trousers, her hand brushing him when she made to stand straight again. Draco groaned. "Why must you be such a tease?" He asked. Hermione smiled and nibbled his ear, whilst allowing him to remove her skirt. When they had both finally removed there underwear, Hermione pulled away and slipped into the warm bath. "Are you coming Draco?" She asked sweetly, but she smiled seductively.
Harry sat the foot of his bunk bed, staring round the Gryffindor common room…for what he thought was the last time. He sighed deeply, am I actually leaving this place? He really couldn't believe it. Oh well…it's my last year anyway…it's not like I'll miss that much…he looked over at Ron's bed, with its Chudley Cannon duvet, and numerous Quidditch magazines splayed all over. He sighed again. Or would he being missing much? A father, at 17? He shook his head and had a quick check around the room to make sure he hadn't left anything behind. Nope, nothing…
He walked painfully slowly down the stairs of the boys dormitory, and took a final look at the Gryffindor common room. So many happy memories filled this room, and you could tell that there were many more to come that he, Harry Potter, wouldn't see. No-one knew about his departure, and everyone was still in class, so Hogwarts seemed unusually empty to Harry as he started to leave, purposely taking the longest route so he could stay in the castle for longer. He felt like he was leaving behind so much, such a big part of his life, in fact he was leaving behind his life, the old Harry Potter and his old life. He wanted to tell Hermione and Ron he was leaving, but he hadn't seen Hermione for the last few days anyway, and when he did she seemed dreamy and in another world. Even though they'd fought and weren't on very good terms after the whole 'Cho' incident, she was still his best friend, and had been for so many years, so he just wanted to say goodbye to her. As for Ron, he felt terrible about not telling him. Ron was like a brother to him, even though he'd been fairly distant after the 'Cho' incident…god Cho…what about her? I want to see her before I leave too, she was, amazing…no, NO! No I don't! Cho. Yes, Cho Chang. He'd had a crush on her for as long as he could remember, she made him feel all giddy and well…embarrassed. She made him feel nervous. She was beautiful, a witty, yet calm, not to mention she was a great seeker, and an amazing kiss…NO! He shouldn't think about Cho Chang now! He was with Lavender! He was going to be the father of their child! He shouldn't even look at another girl let alone think about kissing one! He strode down a corridor and stopped at the end as he heard a familiar voice.
"I've missed you…" a sweet, voice cooed.
"Shouldn't you be in class!" another voice that he recognized giggled.
"Well…I should be…but I thought I'd spend time with you! Then again if you want me to leave then…"
"Nooo! Don't leave me!" the giggly voice said playfully like a child.
Harry heard a door close and he looked around the corner. He could see a light shining from within an empty classroom. He walked up to the door cautiously, trying to listen inside, before accidentally stumbling and pushing it open. He looked up, only to find something he never would have dreamed of seeing. Actually, he probably had dreamed of it before.
"Well…think…of the devil…" he muttered, aghast, as he stared at a startled Cho Chang, who seemed to be in a very interesting position with Ginny on top of one of the desks.
