The next morning, Hermione walked out of her room rubbing her eyes, when she looked at the couch, she saw her now, new boyfriend, Draco Malfoy sitting on the couch in some black baggy pyjama bottoms.
She felt so awkward being his girlfriend now, but she liked it all the same. Draco stood up and walked over to his girlfriend, "Morning" he said then kissing her cheek, she smiled, "Morning".
He began to walk off back to the couch, but, something ran through her mind and she just had to ask him, "Draco" she said softly, he turned to look at her, "Do you not care with me being a muggle-born anymore?" she asked.
"Pureblood, half blood, mudblood… it's only blood" he shrugged, "Do you feel strange?" she asked with a small smile, he nodded at her question, "It'll be strange for the first week or so, but I'm sure we'll get through it" he said with much confidence.
He sat down and patted the space beside him, Hermione smiled and then sat beside him, closely. "We can't tell anybody, can we?" she asked resting her head on his shoulder, "Definitely not, we'll never hear the end of it" he explained.
"It could just be a mistake you know, Draco" she sighed, he looked at her with an unpleased expression, "It's not a mistake Granger… you're mine now" he informed her.
Hermione closed her eyes and smiled to herself, as she remained resting on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around her… but they were then disturbed by a knock on the main door.
"Hermione" she heard Ron's voice shout, Draco then pushed Hermione away, causing her to fall onto her hands and knees on the rug, "Draco!" Hermione moaned, "I'm getting into character!" he informed her.
Hermione stood up and rubbed one of her kneecaps, she walked over to the door and sighed as she opened the door to Ron, he walked inside and spotted Draco sitting on the couch, his legs apart, his arm outstretched on the couch's back.
Ron glared and then turned to Hermione, "I need to talk to you Hermione, it's important!" he told her trying to take her hands, she pulled them away with arched eyebrows, "This isn't a good time Ronald" she told him.
"But Hermione" Ron sulked, "She says it's not a good time, Weasel-bee!" Draco interrupted, "Shut your mouth Malfoy" Ron glared, Draco's eyebrows raised, he stood up and was about to storm over but Hermione glanced at him, her facial expression told him to leave it.
"Ron, quickly" she said as she crossed her arm, "I miss you" he sighed sadly, "I want you back" he sighed again, "Why? Has Luna decided to not please you anymore? Or have you been through every girl now?" she asked with sarcasm.
"I don't think it matters Granger, you're not interested anymore" Draco informed, Ron glared at Draco, "Stay out of it Malfoy, it's none of your bloody business!" Ron snapped, Draco stormed over with his icy evil glare.
He looked Ron up and down in disgust, "I ought to curse you Weasel-bee!" Draco threatened, Hermione turned to Draco quickly and placed both her hands on Draco's bare chest, Ron examined this movement, "No, don't!" Hermione demanded.
Draco's icy glare remained staring at Ron, "Draco!" Hermione begged, her hands slipped off his strong chest, she turned to Ron with a sympathetic look, "Can we talk some other time? Please?" she asked Ron, he nodded and then left in a scurry.
Draco smirked and then watched Hermione turn to face him, "That's going to be a problem" she told him, "What is?" he asked her a little confused, "The fact my two best friends hate you and you hate them just as much" she explained.
"Are you implying I get along with them?" he asked with one eyebrow raised, "No, of course not" she answered, "Good! Because it'll never happen" he sniggered, "You could at least not threaten them Draco" she moaned, Draco rolled his eyes, "I could try… but I can't promise you anything".
Hermione rolled her eyes and then caught a glimpse of Draco's grin, his arms capturing her within his embrace, she smiled softly and stared up at his face, "You're not bad looking for a mudblood" he grinned jokingly.
"Oh thanks" she said sarcastically, "I'm only kidding Hermione… come here" he said as he opened his arms, inviting her to claim a warm hug from him, she smiled and stumbled into his arms and rested her head on his chest, his lips kissed her hair and then stroked the silkiness slowly.
"I need something" Hermione blurted out as she pulled away from the hug, Draco grinned at her comment, "Can I be of any assistant?" he winked, she bashfully smiled, "I meant, something to embarrass you by" she grinned cheekily.
Draco stared at his girlfriend, very puzzled indeed, "Why do you want to embarrass me?" he asked, she smiled and with her finger she stroked slid it down his jawbone, "A cute little pet name would surely embarrass my ever so wicked boyfriend" she said teasing him with an amusingly smile.
He shivered when her finger stopped, he rubbed his jawbone and tried not to smile, "Damn you mud- Hermione" he said quickly, she raised her eyebrows surprisingly, "Oh sorry" she said with a sarcastic remark.
"Sweetie pee" she grinned mischievously, "Sorry?" Draco asked, "That's your new nickname" she smiled playfully, "Sweetie pee? That's a little… sickening… just call me Draco… or Dark Lust" he grinned manly, she rolled her eyes playfully at him.
"Lustful pee?" she asked, "What's with the pee?" he asked back, she shook her head, "Never mind" she smiled, he wrapped his arms around her playfully and lifted her up as he arched back, "Draco!" she giggled, "Put me down!" she squealed.
He jogged slowly, heading for his room, when she saw the common room distancing, and the hall come to sight, she then felt body throw her over his shoulder and she fell onto his bed that caused her to bounce a mere few times.
He smiled and then opened his wardrobe, Hermione sat up from the bed and looked around, his room was green, and messy, scattered papers on the desk, clothes on the floor, the bed unmade and draws left open on the bedside table.
She then watched him throw on a plain black t-shirt and then close the doors to his wardrobe, he sat on the bed and scooted closer to her, he lay on his right side, resting on his right arm, his left arm reaching over her slender body.
He moved in to kiss her but Hermione fidgeted away from him, "What's wrong?" he asked, "It's just… that's exactly what Ron wanted" she said avoiding the eye contact, she didn't want to look at him, "Well, that was Ron, you said no because of that" he told her.
"And because I wasn't ready" she informed him, "Oh" she heard his voice say in much disappointment, "This is one of the things I worried about with you" she said quietly, "What's that?" he asked, "You'd expect this from me" she said looking at him now.
'She thinks I expect sex from her? I only wanted a little intimacy… well it is Granger… take it slow… argh!' – Draco.
Hermione sighed, "I know you have your needs, but I'm just not ready Draco, even if I was, it'd be too soon for us, way too soon" she explained, he nodded in agreement, "Of course".
