Chapter Two

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Honestly! Double potions every single day?" Ron complained as he watched his class schedule and Ginny and Harry smiled knowingly at each other.

"You've been complaining a lot since we've got here, Ron. Give it a rest,"

"How could I give it a rest, Harry, if we're expected to survive a year with double potions five days a week and Head Boy Malfoy waiting to strip us of house points every single day?"

"Calm down, Ron," Ginny smiled and Ron scowled even more deeper

" Would you both stop your mushy love-in-the-eyes looks? It's making me nauseous!" Ron said as he gobbled up a whole muffin.

Just then, Hermione arrived at their table looking no better than yesterday and sat at the very end where there were no students.

Harry looked at her.

Her eyes were red and puffy and she looked like she had literally been dragged out from her bed.

"I really think you should fix things up with Hermione, Harry. I'm really worried about her," Ron finally spoke in a low voice and Ginny looked down at her plate.

"I feel so bad," she whispered, "I shouldn't have. If I'd just known how much this would affect her, I should've."

'Gin, it's not your fault. It's mine." he said before glancing at her, "I guess I should talk to her,"

Ron nodded and Ginny looked up at him with hopeful gleam in her eyes.

He smiled at her reassuringly before rising from his seat and walking over to Hermione.

His heart beat faster and harder as he neared her, giving him a clear view of her dark, golden not to mention unkempt hair and her small frame.

As he stood behind her, he cleared his throat.

Hermione didn't seem to hear him so he cleared his throat again, but she just continued pushing her bacon around her plate.

"Um, Hermione?" he finally spoke and he could see Hermione's head slowly lift up and turn to him, displaying an expression of surprise despite her tired face.

"Can I talk to you?" he asked and Hermione's jaw clenched before she turned back to her plate.

"What for?" she mumbled and Harry sat about a foot beside her and sighed.

"Please listen to me, Hermione. I can't stand seeing you like this. You look awful and depressed and you don't even eat."

"How is it your business?"

"I care for you, Hermione. We all do. Ron, me, Ginny."

Hermione's face finally snapped to him as she glared at him stonily,

"Well, I don't need you so you can just drop the caring friend act and get away from me," her cheeks flushed and tears start to form in her eyes but she quickly turned away.

"Hermione, please, I just want to."

"You're no longer a part of my life, Harry. You haven't been since you left me so don't waste your time feigning concerns for me because your concern is the last thing I need," she said coldly before picking up her things and walking away.

"Yoo hoo! Draaacoooo."

Darn! Almost made it!

Draco thought as he painstakingly turned to the direction of the shrill voice and sure enough, there was Pansy. with her too short skirt showing off her semi-attractive legs and her flirtatious smile and smiled back.

Draco suddenly regretted the time that he had had his fling with her, now the girl was as clingy as a koala, probably thinking that he was her boyfriend now and he didn't like clingy girls as much as girlfriends one bit.

The reason he only put up with her was to get under her pants in case he suddenly needed some bed warming at night. or anytime.

"So, I was wondering. are you busy tonight?" She whispered sensually into his ear as her hands traveled down to his behind.

Draco smiled. Now this is more like it.

"It depends. are you?" he whispered back, sliding his hand up her thigh and under her skirt and caressed the sensitive skin his hands made contact with.

"As a matter of fact, my night's free. so, your place or mine?" she smiled suggestively and suddenly Draco couldn't wait for the day to end.

"Let's use mine. There'll only be the mudblood in the other room and the bed's much bigger,"

Pansy giggled as she pressed her mouth to his and they kissed each other hungrily for about a few minutes before pulling back.

"See you tonight, then," Pansy smiled as she walked inside the classroom, swaying her hips provocatively.

c",)----------c",)----------------------------------------c",)

Hermione had to look away to stop the feeling of disgust from watching Malfoy and Pansy practically disrobing and swallowing each other on the other side of the room.

Where was Professor Flitwick anyway?

She tapped her quill impatiently as she tried to block out the murmurs of her classmates that were filling in the room. Suddenly, the classroom door opened and a familiar looking, young woman with long blonde hair entered the room, smiling.

Before Hermione could place her, she heard Ron whisper in surprise,

"Penelope?"

The woman smiled warmly at him, "That's professor Clearwater to you, Mr. Weasley!" she said cheerfully and Ron smiled sheepishly at his brother's long time girlfriend.

"Hello, everyone and welcome to Advanced Charms. Now, since Professor Flitwick had been reassigned to Defense Against Dark Arts, although he wasn't so keen to the idea," she added, mumbling, "I will be your charms professor for this year," she smiled,

"So, why was Professor Flitwick reassigned instead of hiring new DADA teacher?" Lavender Brown suddenly asked and Penelope looked surprised for a moment before she managed to speak again,

"Well, I really shouldn't be telling you this but I heard that last summer. . . he encountered some dark wizards one night,"

A series of gasps escaped from the girls at the back and even Malfoy and Pansy finally stopped making out and snapped into attention.

"So, in his panic that he didn't know much about what spells to use against them, he just used the different charms and spells that came to his mind. Sources say, that out of the thirteen dark wizards who cornered him, only three of them escaped alive. with severe injuries, I might add," she smiled contentedly as the students nodded interestedly and Hermione stifled a groan. She wasn't here to gossip. She was here to learn.

In cases like this, her hand would've already been up in the air and she'd already been asking to continue the lesson, but not this time. She was much too drained and tired to do that. That's why she would be extremely glad if Penelope would just start the lesson, hoping that she might feel like her old self again.

"So! Enough talking for now and let's all begin our class," Penelope said brightly,

c",)----------c",)----------------------------------------c",)

Classes seemed to drag on and on the whole day and no one could be gladder than Draco that the day was finally over. He smiled to himself as he walked to the Great Hall, with Crabbe and Goyle behind him, when he collided with something. . . or rather someone.

"Watch where you're going, Granger!" he spat out, rubbing his arm as she knelt down to pick up her books, not saying anything as her long hair framed her face, completely hiding it from his sight.

When she finally stood up, he could see that her eyes were swollen and red, as if she had cried all day.

"What happened to you?" he asked bitingly

She started to open her mouth to answer but as her gaze traveled from Crabbe to Goyle and finally rested on him, she clamped her mouth shut.

"Why would I tell you? To give you license to mock me? I'm sorry but I'm not in the mood to deal with pathetic losers like you who think they're all high and mighty!" she snapped before pushing her way through them.

Draco could feel Crabbe and Goyle staring at him confusingly as he just shrugged and mumbled,

"Must be her time of the month,"

----------------------------------'are you ready?'-------------------------- ---

As Pansy finally knocked on the common room door later that, Draco was already feeling out of it. Granger had just entered the room a few minutes earlier from her nightly patrol and instead of her cool and authoritative strides, her shoulders were slumped and she walked as if there were iron balls chained to her legs.

As he opened the door, his eyes almost popped as he saw Pansy wearing a thin white robe that showed that there was nothing under it but her nakedness. He smiled wickedly as he pulled her to him and kicked the door shut. Pansy giggled as she fumbled with the buttons of his shirt as he was on the verge of finally getting the blasted robe off her while they staggered to his bedroom. Finally succeeding in disrobing her, he pushed her on the bed and jumped on top of her, straddling her while taking off his shirt and she busied herself with his pants. While Pansy was fumbling with his pants, he lowered his head to her breasts and sucked violently on one proud peak as he caressed the other one. Feeling that his pants finally loosened, he pulled down his boxers for Pansy to do her job. Her hands skillfully massaged his shaft in all the right places as he moved his mouth to her other breast and rolling over so she was finally on top of him. Knowing what to do, she traced kisses from his mouth to his neck, down to his chest, going lower until she found his throbbing manhood. She inserted his entire shaft into her mouth, warming and moistening it with her tongue as she plunged it in and out of her mouth. Draco moaned in pleasure as Pansy continued with her task, growing more vigorous every second until he couldn't contain it anymore. He finally withdrew and he could feely Pansy licking his throbbing manhood before he rolled over and pinned her to the bed. She could see Pansy's satisfied expression as he plunged hard into her that she let out a squeal of surprise. Then he thrust deeply and hardly until she was moaning with every powerful thrust. He grew faster and faster and harder and harder, pushing all of his length inside as her moans came out in short, quick successions until she finally screamed in pleasure. Draco was out of breath as he pulled out and rolled to his back, beside a very tired and satisfied Pansy. "That was great," she panted and Draco didn't respond. Yeah, it was great, but he'd had better.
