Chapter 17

Fantasies

Hermione was in the library, one day during that following week finishing her homework and oral report for Mystical Creatures that she was not looking forward to. There was about two feet of snow on the ground outside and no sign of it going away anytime soon. It was hard enough to huddle together to keep warm, without trying to give a report. Harry had suggested having class in the Great Hall instead. Hagrid said that he'd think about asking if it were all right. The cold didn't really affect Hagrid much. Hermione was really hoping that the class would be inside. She liked snow as much as the next person, but everybody had their limits. Hermione then thought about how much she loved her room and how warm it was. With it's warm colors and wonderful fireplace it was like no other. She started to drift off a little thinking about her warm bed and satin sheets. She imagined herself in bed under her covers, which presented themselves cool to the touch at first then warmed to her temperature, she then rolled over and put her arm around Draco and…Draco! Her eyes flew open and she was immediately wide-awake. She sat up and turned her attention back to her report. She was so busy trying to concentrate putting aside the daydream that she didn't see Draco come in and sit the table in front of her.

She looked around for Ginny because she was supposed to meet her there. Harry and Ron are in the start of another wizard's chess tournament with the other Gryffindor boys to see who was the best. Personally Hermione didn't know why they even bothered, Ron was the best, and he always won.

Instead of Ginny, Hermione saw Draco sitting at the table in front of her facing her and reading a book. She suddenly felt her nerves flutter and her heart drop to her stomach. Then her attention was diverted as the one whom she had been waiting for, Ginny came rushing into the library.

"Oh, Hermione so sorry I am late. I couldn't get out of the common room. It was ridiculously packed full, even some girls were up for the challenge," Ginny whispered hurriedly. She sat down and started to pull out her things out of her bag.

"It's ok Ginny. So I guess that Kiara is watching Ron beat the lot of them?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, I don't know why they even bother. I keep telling him that when he is done with Hogwarts, he should join The International Wizard's Chess Tour, but he says that he will probably do that when he retires from being an Auror," Ginny replied.

"Ron is pretty good and could make good money off of it. Anyway so about this weekend is the sleep over still going on?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah on Friday night. Hermione we are looking forward to you coming. It's been so long since we all just hung out and did silly girl things. It's going to be great!" Ginny said quietly excited.

"It has been a long time, too long actually. I can't wait. It's going to be so much fun, just us girls," Hermione said with a relieved smile.

"Absolutely! So how long is the meeting going to be? Ginny asked.

"I don't know. It depends I guess." Hermione replied as she shrugged. They talked for a while as they finished their work. Hermione was surprised to see that Draco was still there. She could have sworn that he had the same book on the same page for at least an hour. Was he waiting for her or just wasting time until the Heads and Prefects meeting? "Probably just wasting time," she told herself.

"Well I am finished do you want to go back to the common room with me to see what is going on?" Ginny asked as she put her things back into her bag.

"Na, I've got a few things to do before the meeting, but let me know what happened tonight. Oh and tell Ron he'll have to take a break to go to the meeting." Hermione replied.

"Sure, see you tonight." Ginny said with a smile and headed out of the library.

Hermione was left once again alone at her table. She then realized that Draco was looking at her. Her eyes meet with his for a few seconds then she returned her attention to her book. She started to think about what if they were in the library alone. What would happen, and what would she want to happen? Her head was resting in her hand as she closed her eyes and imagined how his touch felt against her skin. How good his lips felt and how they moved with hers. She wanted to go over to his table, pull him up and push him onto the table. She wanted to tease him and make him feel the way he had made her feel. Her fantasy quickly moved to the rain, to a storm. How good it would feel to make love to him in the middle of one. To feel the water pounding against their skin as they rubbed themselves alongside each other's body. She remembered the storm that had started all of this, the storm in which she found out his secret. SLAM!

Hermione jolted awake breathing heavily and looked around for the source of the noise. She then looked at Draco with his closed book looking at her with a smirk. She shot him a look and realized it was getting close to the time of the meeting. She got up to put her book away.

Hermione heard Draco rise from his seat and walk after her. She put her book away as Draco stopped a few feet behind her and looked at some books as if he had been heading there anyway. She headed back to her table and pretended that he wasn't there, by not looking at him when she walked past. She reached her table to pick up her things when Draco approached her.

"What time is the meeting?" He asked pretending he didn't know, but Hermione knew better.

"It starts in about fifteen minutes." She told him anyway. He nodded at her and walked to his table and picked up his things. They walked silently to the heads room together. It was funny to see some first years get scared at the sight of seeing both heads together, but mostly at the sight of Draco. Hermione would just give them a warm smile and they would relax and even smile back.

When Ginny and Ron showed up they told Hermione how the chess tournament was going. Ron of course was still in and so was Harry. They were going to finish the rest of the tournament on Friday night.

After everyone was there they started the meeting. They stared to go over old and new business and then they moved onto the House's Christmas parties and when they were going to have them. After they worked out all the details they started to talk about the latest news around the school. Hermione stared to daze out and started to remember the morning that her and Draco ended up on the couch. She tried to shake out the thoughts and tried to concentrate on the conversation. "What is wrong with me?" she asked herself.

Soon the meeting was over and all had left except for Ron and Ginny. Hermione talked with them for a bit. Draco sat around for a minute but then headed to his room. Before he entered his portrait, he looked at Hermione and watched her as she talked to her friends. He really wanted her to be alone, but guessed that he would have to wait. He then went into his room and closed his door behind him.

When Ron and Ginny had left, Hermione told the portrait that the last of the prefects had left and the password could be changed back to the original one for the Heads. She then got ready for bed and got into her bed. She lay there for a while thinking about the fantasies that she had that day. "I really need to stop thinking about him and about that stuff. What is wrong with me? I can't be thinking about him like that, he is Draco Malfoy and a death eater of all things!" she thought to herself. She tossed and turned as she struggled to silence her thoughts and finally managed to fall asleep.
