Untimely entrance
"Draco?" Hermione whispered into the deserted infirmary. Stepping trough the doorway to further examine the room she noted that not even a fussy Pomfrey was briskly hiking from bed to bed, to office, to bed, to office, to bed.
"Draaaaacoooooo" She tried again, forcing each syllable.
Still there was silence.
"Draco this isn't funny! Stop it now!" Hermione half whined half ordered. A small voice in the back of her head was panicking and the panic was quickly spreading.
"Boo!" Hermione screamed as a vice grip arms captured her around her middle.
The next thing either of them knew, they were both on the floor. Hermione looked schocked and saw two penetrating grey eyes boring into her own brown ones.
"Sorry 'bout that" Said Malfoy has Hermione placed a rouge strand of blond hair behind his ear. Malfoy pulled him self off her and then helped her to her feet, offering the lame excuse 'I guess I'm stronger than I thought I was'.
"What about your nose?" She asked not wanting to talk about what happen any longer.
"Madam Pomfrey wasn't here when I got up here and so I mended myself. Wasn't too hard…just a broken bone" Draco announced in an off hand sort of way.
As much as Hermione wanted to say 'Now you should have let a professional tend to you' or 'do you know what u could have done?' she didn't. She knew he was perfectly capable of curing himself and didn't want to ruin the moment.
It was not long, though, until Draco spoke. "Here. I believe this is yours" He handed her a small piece of green fabric which was now spotlessly clean.
"Oh" finally realising and a blush crept out of now where and took up residence on her cheeks. "I'm sorry. I must have forgotten to give it back to you…" She trailed off remembering that night.
The night in which Draco had found her in a weeping heap on the floor. He had comforted her. Told her it would all be okay, lent her a handkerchief, called her by her first name. He has even been so bold as to kiss her.
Not just a friendly kiss either, but a whole, full frontal snog. The pleasant memory flooded Hermione's mind as blood flooded her cheeks. No one knew that she had wanted that kiss and pined for more ever since.
"Hermione?" Her attention snapped back to the current situation. Draco was standing before her and as soon as she met his cold eyes she flushed and turned away.
Draco was thinking the same thing. Hermione very rarely flushed and he knew why. The kiss. He would like to say that it was just a spur of the moment thing; no real feelings in it. But that would be a lie.
There was a very awkward moment that passed. Both were reminiscing on the passing weeks events. Draco attempted speaking again.
"Should we go to lessons then?" And Hermione, whose face was still tinted pink, looked relieved to leave the room and the awkward silence behind. As she reached the door Draco did the same, being the gently man he is, and their hands brushed lightly over each others.
Hermione pulled her hand away but Draco caught it in his own and didn't let go of it. She looked up in shock and opened her mouth about to say something and then shut it again. Malfoy's eyes were piercing into hers but she did not look away. On impulse she leaned in closed to notice the small blue flecks in the boy's eyes.
Draco, imitated Hermione and leant in so that their noses were touching.
Hermione opened her mouth ever so slightly, before tilting her head to the left. Draco tilted his to the right and slowly closed his eyes. Craning forward he felt Hermione's soft lips brush against his. Just as the kiss was about to deepen a very flustered Madam Pomfrey pulled the doors open with a loud crash and stormed into the room.
The young pair jumped apart looking slightly ashamed, and yet disheartened at the nurses untimely entrance.
A/N: Well. I know my last chapter was really bad but not even one review sayiong how bad it was? It must have been worse than I thought. So I made sure this chapter was the best it could be. Holiday stated as of today and as soon as I got home I wrote all of this (not much but I think this is one of the longer chappies). So updates should be more frequent.
Now can we just take a secound to talk about HBP. Oh My Freakin' Gods! I didn;t think I would be able to finish this fic after I found out but then I remebered I love writing it. i was so shocked tho. I went to the midnight opening and my and my friends photo are in the local paper (worse picture taken of me EVER!). I was dressed as Hemrione. So much fun.
Back to the matter at hand. Hope you like, review, and enjoy life!
