All during the week, Pansy made a point to avoid any places she might see Harry. Her night in detention with him had been...overwhelming and she felt a bit of fear at her growing feelings toward him. His last statement had caught her off guard, and as she lay in her bed that night, staring at her ceiling, she'd realized just how right he was. She had wanted what had almost happened between them and she still did. Every glimpse of him, had her wanting more. But what's more, she wanted to know him. She wanted to know of his ambitions, his goals. Hell, she wanted anything she could get from him.

Pansy brushed her hair out of her eyes as she walked from the view of the lake. She'd recently begun coming down here after Ginny had told her how peaceful it was. Following up on her friend's advice, she'd come out to the lake one afternoon and hadn't stopped coming since. Slowly, Pansy made her way towards the library. Snape had given them a four-parchment essay on the different ways a polyjuice potion could be used due one week from yesterday.

Pansy sighed to herself and she thought of the long hours she would be spending at the library doing this essay. Mentally, she cursed Snape and his stupid essays and pulled open the doors to the library. It was practically empty as it was almost time for bed. Pansy never worried about curfews, being that Draco was Head Boy and since they were friends, never gave her a hard time about being out late. Finding a table near the back, Pansy placed her things on the wooden top and made her way towards the bookshelves.

Fifteen minutes later, Pansy found the book she would need for her essay, but groaned when she saw how high up it was. Unsuccessfully, Pansy tried reaching for the book, and even stood on her tiptoes before blowing a breath out in frustration. A shiver ran down her spine, as a familiar scent, his scent assaulted her senses and his body brushed up against hers.

"Let me get that for you."

Easily, he reached the book and brought it down. As Pansy went to snatch it out of his hands, he held it high in the air and smirked down at her as she tried in vain to reach it. He used the opportunity to quickly seize her lips in a short kiss as she kept trying to take the book from him. It was so quick, she thought she'd imagined it. Taking her silence as an affirmative, Harry leaned down and kissed her again, this time slowly as he backed her into the bookshelf. Her fingers went to his unruly hair unconsciously and sifted through it as she eagerly responded to him.

She moaned and ran her leg up and down his own leg as she felt his hands begin inching their way up her shirt. Her hands moved from his hair down to his back and she caressed the sleek muscles hidden under his shirt. An amused laugh brought her straight back to the reality of what she was doing, where she was doing it, and who she was doing it with.

As if sensing her swift change in mood, Harry growled against her throat and reluctantly pulled himself from her. She felt a mortified blush make its way up her neck as he gently buttoned her blouse when she couldn't seem to get them in the right holes with her shaking hands. She felt him tilt up her chin with his finger, and finally looked up at him. His green eyes were still sparkling with desire, but she also saw frustration there. He leaned down and brushed her lips with his own.

Finally, he backed away from her and gave her a small salute and smirk. A very amused Draco Malfoy stood next to the bookcase, smirk in place. Pansy felt even more mortified as she watched Harry saunter over to him.

"Malfoy."

"Potter."

They both nodded at each other, before Harry walked off. She watched as Draco walked slowly over to her, his amused smirk still in place. She saw the grin that was tugging at his mouth bloom fully, before he finally began to laugh outrageously.

"Oh shove off, Drake."

He clutched his side and leaned on the bookshelf for support. Pansy watched as he finally stopped laughing long enough to reply.

"Didn't think Potter had it in him to snog you in the library of all places."

"What the hell are you talking about, Draco?"

"I'm talking about you and Potter...snogging. Wait until Ginny gets wind of this."

"You'll not tell Ginny of this at all Draco! What happened here was...a mistake. A mistake that won't happen again."

"Whatever you say, Pans."

Pansy fought the urge to curse Draco as he walked away, and instead went over to her forgotten table. It was going to be a long night.

----------------------------------------

Harry cursed as he entered the seventh year boy's dormitory. His best friend, Ron, looked over to him with concern in his eyes

"Something wrong, mate?"

"No, Ron. Just a bad day is all."

Ron looked to be unconvinced with the answer, but wisely kept it to himself. Harry pulled off his school clothes and pulled on a pair of red pajama pants and crawled into his bed. He thought back to what had happened in the library. He couldn't believe his luck when he saw Pansy there reaching for a book high on the shelf.

He'd only planned on getting it down for her, giving it to her, and then walking off. One look into her blue eyes had him acting otherwise. The quick kiss he'd given her had turned into a long kiss, which had in turn gone to snogging. Until Malfoy came that is. He'd seen the knowing glint in the other boy's eyes as he'd passed him. Harry was sure, for the most part, that Malfoy would keep the new knowledge to himself. He could only hope he would, anyway.

Harry groaned as he remembered the trace of Pansy's gentle curves, her intoxicating scent and her less than cold reaction to his kisses. He'd been angry with her that night in detention when she'd more or less told him that what had transpired between them was a mistake. He'd been angry for days avoiding her, not knowing that she was doing the same. He didn't know what possessed him to go into the library tonight, but whatever it was, he'd have to thank it later.

Harry stared up into the ceiling as he thought of Pansy. She'd grown prettier over the years at Hogwarts and she wasn't as bitchy as she'd been first year. Perhaps that was what had attracted him at first. Not to mention an incredible body and great pair of blue eyes. That day when they'd bumped into each other in the hall, he knew she'd felt that spark between them when he was helping her with her things. So when detention had come around, he couldn't believe his luck that she had it with him. He'd roused her anger at first, and then using that anger to get the response he craved.

Breaking out of his thoughts, Harry rolled over on his side. He'd get to her somehow. And once he did, she wouldn't be running from him, but instead to him. He'd make sure of that.

A/N: I don't really like this chapter, but hopefully it's not as bad to you guys as it is to me lol Next update will hopefully be very soon :) Read, review, and always enjoy. Ciao
