Chapter Nine

The Train Ride Home

"Draco! Stop! That tickles!" I said between gasps for air.

Draco was kissing my shoulders and the bottom of my neck and I happened to be very ticklish there, but it did feel very good.

"DRACO!" I roared at him, causing him to tumble off of me and stare at me with confusion.

I straightened my skirt and shirt, combed my hair, and took out a book.

"That's better. Now, if you wouldn't mind, I have some reading to do."

He sighed heavily with defeat and sat across from me on the hard, maroon seats of the Hogwarts express. Then train lurched and slowly began gaining speed. The stars were still out, but they where diminishing one by one as the sun slowly crept up from the background. I put away my book, Foreign Hopes, and stared dreamily out the window. The tress zoomed by. I began dazing out, blocking out everyone and everything around me. I didn't notice Draco get up and sit next to me. Only when he pulled my rubber band from my hair, allowing my hair to fall down to my shoulders, did I notice he was there. I didn't turn around to face him, so I let him play with my hair a little bit longer. I finally looked back at him, who just happened to be swirling my hair in his fingers, making tangles.

"Um, yeah, do you mind?"

He snapped out of his own daydream and smiled at me innocently. I once again took out my comb and brushed it until it was tame and straight.

"So." He said mischievously, scooting closer to me.

"So." I replied, sounding bored.

"We have about three whole hours to ourselves. What do you want to do?" he said, scooting even closer to, practically on top of me.

"I bet I know what you want to do, and the answer is no. Not on a public train where people could walk in and out, including Harry and Ron whom aren't so peachy about us going out." I said matter-of-factly, patting his cheek and going back to gazing outside the window.

"Hermione! Come on! Please?!"

I turned around and faced him. I stared at his puppy face and sighed in defeat. He instantly smiled brightly and kissed me hungrily. I honestly wanted to snog him right back, but playing with him was so much fun. Plus, I wasn't done playing. I slipped my tongue through my lips into his mouth. I licked his tongue and before his could dance with mine, I pulled it back into my mouth. He pulled back and looked at me confused. I gave him my sexiest, yet most mischievous smirk. I snaked my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a lustful kiss. I tangled my fingers into his perfectly silky as I felt his hands firmly grab my waist. His tongue licked my bottom lip wanting entry; I let him have it. I gasped softly as his left hand slid into my shirt, giving Draco's tongue more room to play with mine. I began unbuttoning his shirt as his hand slid further into my shirt, brushing my white lacy bra. His tongue left my mouth and his kisses traveled down to the nape of my neck, causing me to moan ever so quietly. I had successfully unbuttoned Draco's shirt. But I decided that I needed to ask it.

"Draco?"

"Mmhhmm?" he said still kissing my neck.

"Are you a virgin?"

This question caused him to stop kissing my neck and look at me. His pale-blue eyes pierced my chocolate brown ones.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I think that it's important for each other to know…so are you?"

"Yes, I am."

His eyes darted to the left and he began playing with my hair. I remembered something about his in muggle studies. What was it? When a person's eyes dart left they're lying. Or is it right? No! It was left. I backed away and glared at him.

"You're a bad liar."

"Ok, so I'm not. And what about you?"

"Don't change the subject! Who was it?"

"Who was what?"

"Draco! Who was your first?"

"Hermione…this isn't important."

He leaned in to kiss me but I backed farther away from him. I arched my eyebrow.

"It's Pansy isn't it?"

He sighed and nodded.

"You pour soul."

I scooted closer and leaned in for an ardent kiss, but he backed away.

"Actually, Hermione. She was pretty good."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah really."

I arched my eyebrow once again. He's supposed to be head boy? Ron is smarter than him! Or maybe I'm just really smart…yeah, that must be it. I patted his check and got up to leave.

"Well, Drakie-poo, if she's so good, you can go and snog her!" I retorted impudently.

"Hermione! I didn't mean it! Are you mad at me?"

I stopped at the door, and sat back down, kissing with such fervor, it caused Draco to lean back. I straddled him, kissing him with much enthusiasm. I licked his lips, signaling entry. But when he opened his mouth. I hopped off of him and left, leaving him, opened mouth, groaning with disappointment. I giggled as I walked down the hallway, looking for Harry and Ron. I eventually found them, but not to the benefit of my eyes. Harry and Ginny were kissing very heatedly, causing Ron to glower at the floor. His eye shot open with happiness as soon as I walked through.

"Hermione!"

"Harry! Ginny! Get off of each other right now!"

They broke the kiss, but remained attached together.

"Why?"

"Because it's been what, two days since Cho broke up with you? And you!" I said wagging my finger at Ginny.

"You were moping and crying not too long ago! At least have some decency to other people in the area!" I said shooting a glance at Ron who was bobbing his head in agreement.

"Alright! Alright!" Harry said reluctantly.

They pulled apart from each other, after another tongue lashing from Ron. Harry and Ron began talking quidditch for the new season while Ginny and I talked about Harry and Draco. But Harry, totally oblivious to anything that was happening around him when he started ranting about quidditch, didn't hear.

"And is Draco any good?"

I blushed slightly at this comment.

"Yeah, you could say so. He's not a virgin, so I guess he would be good."

She gasped. "He's not! Harry better be!"

"Are you?"

"Of course! How do you think Ron would act around me?"

"I would think he would hate you and pulverize the guy you lost it to."

"Yeah. Probably. So? Who was it?"

"Do you really need to ask that?"

"Pansy?"

I rolled my eyes and nodded. Ginny did the same.

"The thing is, he said she was good. The nerve!"

"He said that? Wow…Draco Malfoy is getting dull."

I chuckled and bit my lip. I felt kind of guilty leaving him there. I decided that I tortured him long enough. I excused myself and walked back to the heads' compartment. I entered silently to find Malfoy gazing out of the window. He still hadn't re-buttoned his shirt.

I pondered for about two minutes before I came to the conclusion that it was Draco's own fault and that playing with him was a new hobby of mine. Wearing a loose, gray cotton skirt and a white button-down blouse, I sat down quietly next to him. I put up my leg on my seat, causing my skirt to slide down and expose a little more than half of my thigh. I unbuttoned the fist four buttons of my shirt, revealing the tops of my perky breast. When I was satisfied that I looked seductive, I looked straight ahead, waiting for Draco to notice me. He finally sighed and turned. He had to do a double take when he saw me. I watched him with my peripheral vision as I just stared ahead, waiting for him to do something. He licked his lips and was about to lean in for a hungry kiss, but I outstretched my arm and stopped him with my finger. I slowly shook my head. He groaned loudly in disappointment.

"Hermione! Please! I said I was sorry!"

I thought back to our previous conversation and shook my head.

"No you didn't."

"Ok, fine, I'm sorry."

I still wasn't looking at him, but I arched my eyebrow anyways.

"Wow. This is the day hell freezes over. Malfoys apologizing."

He rolled his eyes and I smirked maliciously.

"Just…please Hermione!"

"Please what? I have nothing to give you!"

"Sure you don't…" he said playfully as he leaned down to kiss my neck, but I moved away first.

"Hermione! I'm begging you! Please?"

"Hmm…"I finally turned and faced him. His hair was ruffled and it made him even sexier than he already was.

He smirked. He took of his shirt. I was practically drooling inside, but my face looked calm and collected. His hand traveled down from my knee down. He was going slowly, which made me shiver. He was playing my little game. Just then, the train screeched as it halted to a stop, causing Draco and I to tumble. He landed on top of me and smirked smugly and kissed me with much fervor. I would have moaned out loud, but Draco's tongue was practically going down my throat. His hands traveled up my blouse, causing much discomfort for me partially due to the fact that we were still on the floor. My hands, which were on his stomach, moved down to his waist. His kisses trailed downward to the nape of my neck, causing me to whisper his name in pleasure. I heard a throat being cleared, but I ignored it, wanting Draco to continue his kisses. The person cleared their throat louder. Draco stopped his kisses and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Alright! Alright! I get it!" I yelled impatiently at Ginny who was staring at us with raised eyebrows.

Draco and I redressed hurriedly. He grabbed my trunk as well as his and led me out of the train and onto Platform 9 and ¾. He placed down my belongings gently and held my hand as we walked out into the muggle world. I greeted my parents with a large hug each and introduced them to Draco.

"Mom, Dad, this is Draco Malfoy."

"Oh! Please to meet you dear." My mum exclaimed happily.

"Yes, indeed. Quite a firm grip there on your hands!" my dad said playfully as he shook hands with my fiancé.

"Uh, thank you."

"Hermione, my parents are here, I have to go. I'll owl you." He whispered quickly as he pecked my cheek and bid my parents farewell.

I walked with parents, telling them about everything that happened over the months, excluding everything about Draco and I. Dad helped put my stuff in the trunk, and I climbed into the back seat of their SUV. I stared dreamily at the road as I thought of Draco. My mom happened to notice this but refrained from saying anything. Just then, I felt a tiny weight on my lap. I looked down and blushed madly as I saw my favorite flower on my lap. It was this gorgeous white lily that had this green and silver note attached to it. I opened the note delicately and smiled.

To my only love,

I feel as though I am empty once again and can only think to myself and count down the days until I see your beautiful smiling face, stunning chocolate eyes, and feel you creamy skin. Only then, will I actually feel happiness for you are the very essence of it. I love you.

Draco Malfoy.

I tucked the note into my purse and picked up the sweet smelling flower. I felt eyes on me and looked up to find my mother staring at me from her mirror. I mouthed to her, I'll tell you later. She nodded and smiled sweetly at me. I touched the soft petals with my fingers and could also only count down the days until I saw him again…
