michele- Things will get more sexual soon. I want to build the sexual tension between them first.
Kayla-I will finish my story even if it takes me a million years. I'm sorry about my short chapters, but when I write them on Microsoft word they look longer than they are.
Hermionemalfoy18- Don't worry she'll get kissed soon. Maybe this chapter...
Diqua- I do use spell check, but the thing is the words that are wrong are usually like instead of 'is' I put 'id' which is also a word. So spell check doesn't catch it. Usually I don't read through very thoroughly because I'm in a rush to get the chapters up. sry! But I'm glad you like it!
fi- Ohh...Reviews like yours keep me going!
FarDeep- I know isn't that line great! It came to me before I even began this story and I wanted to put it in ASAP!
The REAL Cheese Monkey- Not too cliché? Good. That was a big thing I was worried about. I've read a lot that are really predictable and I wanted my story to be more original. BTW I absolutely love your pen name thing. It's awesome. I love random funky things like that.
I haven't done one of these disclaimer things in a while soooo...I own nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. That's right nothing.
Hermione rolled out of bed the next morning.. She had gotten absolutely no sleep that night. All she saw when she closed her eyes was her eyes was Draco. It was starting to drive her crazy.
She walked over to the bathroom. Opening the door just a little and looked inside. A habit she had picked up after the little 'incident' with Draco. Seeing nobody inside she stepped in. After she locked both her door and Draco's bedroom door, she stripped out of her clothes and stepped into the shower. Sighing, she opened up her shampoo. Mmmm, strawberry. She massaged it into her hair. The aroma clouding her senses. She almost didn't hear the knock on the door.
"Granger" she heard Draco's muffled call.
"Granger open the door I have to piss!" he shouted.
"I'm in the shower Malfoy you'll have to wait." she shouted back.
"No way Granger I'm gonna piss my pants. I'm coming in." She heard a faint 'alohamora' and the click of the lock.
"Whoa, Granger, hot enough for you." he chuckled. True there was a lot of steam in the bathroom. She liked her showers hot.
She didn't hear him actually going to the bathroom, but she did hear the toilet flush. And she heard him mumble 'oops'.
"AAAAAHHHH!" she screamed as the water got freezing cold.
"Sorry Granger. Forgot" he shrugged. "Is that Strawberries?" he asked.
"Yes Malfoy it's my shampoo." she informed him. She poked her head out from behind the frosted glass of the shower. (A/N I think you know what I mean. I don't really know what it's called. When the glass is like frosty or foggy so you can't see the person but you can see the general form of them. That's what I'm talking about.)
"Now are you going to leave or what?" she asked making sure he couldn't see anything.
"Well I was going to, but now I think I'll stay right here." he hopped up on the counter.
She groaned and went back to washing her hair. A few minutes later she heard him close the door. She poked her head out again to see him no where in sight. After she finished washing her body she turned the shower off and stepped out. She dried herself and wrapped a towel around herself tightly and opened her door.
She gasped when she saw Malfoy laying on her bed in nothing but his boxers with Crookshanks on his stomach. He was scratching Crookshanks under the chin.
"What are you doing in here!" she said closing the bathroom door, and held the towel tighter.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know. There's still about an hour until I need to get to Potions and it takes me like five minutes to get ready, so to sum it all up...I'm bored." he bent one of his knees and left the other one laying straight on the bed.
She sighed. "I don't know if you know this, but you're not exactly welcome in here." she explained like she was talking to a five year old.
"Oh Hermione that hurts me. And after everything I've done for you. I saved your life. You wouldn't even give me a 'thank you' kiss, and now I'm not welcome in your bedroom. It hurts." he said putting his hand over his heart. She wasn't in the mood to fight so she quickly got some clothes and underwear to change into and went back into the bathroom.
A few minutes later she came back dressed in her school uniform.
"What are you doing?" she asked. He had been looking through some of the papers on her desk.
"nothing." he mumbled andwalked over to her.
"Go away and don't come back!" she said.
"Fine, fine, fine, but I'm taking Crookedspanks." he went back over to her bed and picked Crookshanks up.
"Wha...It's Crookshanks!" but he had already gone through the bathroom door. She sighed and gathered her things she needed for class. She decided it would be a good idea if she made an appearance at breakfast.
When she got there she saw Ginny sitting with Lavender and Parvarti. Ron and Harry were nowhere in sight so she figured she would sit with them. Yay! she thought sarcastically. Oh great they saw me. Parvarti was waving her hands in the air like a lunatic to get her attention. She made a small attempt at waving back as she sat down next to Lavender.
"So Hermione how was fly" Hermione kicked Ginny in the shin to get her to shut up.
"Ow" she moaned.
"What was that for Hermione?" asked Parvarti who was sitting next to Ginny across from Hermione.
"Nothing." she said through gritted teeth.
"You have to tell them mione. Maybe they can help you with your little problem." Ginny smiled innocently at her.
"Fine, but you explain it." she slumped in her seat.
"Well, Mione is having some problems with her dear roommate, Draco." she said.
"Oh?" said Lavender. "What kind of problems?"
"He took her flying yesterday." said Ginny.
"You? Flying? No way. You hate to fly." said Parvarti.
"So what happened?" asked Ginny.
"He kept going really fast and then you know what he did? He let me fall! I went right over. I fell!" she made some drastic gestures with her hands to get her point across.
Lavender looked her up and down. "Looks like your alright to me." she said. "What happened?"
"Well...he...well...he kind of w-w- well caught me." she stuttered.
"HE CAUGHT YOU!" they all said at once. "Oh my god, that sounds so romantic." gushed parvarti.
"Romantic? Romantic! Are you crazy. It was all his fault in the first place." she whined.
"So? He saved you! Wow. I wish that had been me. In Draco Malfoy's arms." Lavender sighed.
"See? Hermione it's obvious he loves you." said Ginny.
"He doesn't love me Ginny that's ridiculous. He hateswell maybe he doesn't hate me but he doesn't love me." she argued.
"Wait you hesitated. When you said he hates you. Why don't you think he hates you anymore?" asked Lavender.
"You said"
"No. I know what we said. But why don't you think he hates you anymore." asked Ginny.
"...umm...well he...he...umm...he might have mentioned that I...well owe him...a...uh...a kiss." she looked up from the table to see their eyes bulging and their mouths almost touching the table.
"Did you?" Lavender squeaked.
"NO!" she yelled. Luckily there wasn't many people around them.
"Why not!"
"Are you mad!"
"What is your bloody problem!"
They all yelled at the same time. This caused some people to look at them.
"Shhhhhh you guys. People are looking." she smiled in the direction of some Hufflepuffs who were looking at them. They went back to their breakfasts.
"Ok Hermione listen. No offense or anything, but...um...there's not many guys who would...well... you know. I- I'm just saying...take what you can get. Oww." Lavender said as Ginny kicked her.
"Ugh. You're so...so...impossible. I can't believe you just said that." she stood up quickly and stormed out of the hall.
"Sorry Hermione!" Lavender yelled, but Hermione didn't pay attention to her.
There was fifteen minutes until Potions started so she decided to just wait in the classroom. Snape was never there early anyway. When she got there she sat in the seat next to Malfoy's. And waited. And waited. I can't believe she said that! ' Take what I can get' my ass! Draco Malfoy, the hottest guy in school well, according to lavender, parvarti, and ginny, anyway he likes me! Me! Well maybe he doesn't like me, but he does want to kiss me. Oh maybe she's right. I'm not exactly the prettiest girl in the world. Bloody Hell!
She dropped her head onto her desk
"You know that's not very good for your head." she looked up to see Draco standing in the doorway.
"Whatever." she mumbled and put her head back down, gently.
He sat down in his seat next to her.
"I sense something's wrong." he said.
"You think?" she mumbled into the desk. Barely audible.
"Sorry? What was that? I don't speak desk." he pulled her head up off the desk.
"I said: You think?" she snapped.
"What's wrong?" he said crossing his arms. "Nothing."
"Right. I believe that." he said. Just then Lavender and Parvarti walked in. Lavender tried to walk over to Hermione but Parvarti shook her head and whispered something in her ear. Lavender nodded and smiled at Hermione.
Lavender and Parvarti sat in their seats and the rest of the class filed in. Snape instructed them to get their cauldrons and finish their Veritiserum.
After working for about five minutes Draco took it upon himself to see what the hell was wrong with Hermione.
"Well"
"Just shut up and leave me alone." she snapped.
"Now listen Granger, I was trying to be nice to you but if you're gonna snap at me then I'll just have to snap back." he turned to look at her.
"Sorry Malfoy. There's just a lot on my mind." she mumbled.
"MmHmm, like what?" he asked amused.
"None of your business Malfoy so just leave me alone." she snapped.
"There you go again with the snappy thing. Fine you know what, don't tell me." he said
Maybe I should tell him. Or I could ask him if what Lavender said was true. If there was one thing I could count on Malfoy for, it would be bringing me down. She snuck a glance at him. His face was scrunched up in concentration as he tried to cut the pupil out of a lizards eye. Ok I'll tell him. She decided.
"Lavender told me to 'take what I can get' when it comes to guys." she said in a hurry.
Malfoy paused. Then set the knife down on the table.
"And why would she say that?" he asked.
She sighed. "I was hoping you could tell me."
"Sounds kind of stupid if you ask me. How many boyfriends have they had in the past year? They should talk." he snorted.
He looked over at Hermione. She had her head down and was tracing the grooves in the wood. Huh. This is really affecting her. He looked over at Lavender. She was looking at Hermione. Parvarti poked Lavender in the back as Snape walked by them. Looking back at Granger he thought. Maybe I could help her out. I'll even get my 'thank you' after all...
Snape came up to their desk.
"Mr. Malfoy, Ms. Granger, The headmaster wants to see you in his office after this class." he droned in his monotone voice.
"Yes Professor." they both said.
They finished their potion and bottled it before class ended.
"You will be testing these potion with your partners on Monday. Class Dismissed."
Draco waited for Hermione to put away her things before they left to see Dumbledore.
The class emptied out and Draco saw Lavender and Parvarti walk out together. He noticed Lavenders potion book laying on her desk. Hermione had just finished putting away her things when Draco grabbed her arm and pulled her out into the hallway.
"Malfoy what are you do"
"Shh. Alright. Just trust me."
"Last timeI agreed to that I fell off a broom." she crossed her arms across her chest.
Draco looked around the hall. No one but them. He knew Lavender and Parvarti would be coming around the corner any minute. Sure enough he hear there foot steps coming their way.
Unfortunately Hermione heard them too. Before she could say anything he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her up against his body.
"Don't even think about it." she warned.
"Too late." he said.
"Not funny Malfoy, let go of me." she said panicking a little. He wouldn't dare!
He just smirked. She could hear Lavender and Parvarti talking and giggling. As soon as they rounded the corner Draco's lips pushed against her own. Instinctively she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck. Oh my god! No, pull away! Pull away! Ohhh... his lips are so soft. He's such a good kisser. NO! snap out of it Hermione. Push him away...or... or not...
Hey, she's not that bad. I figured she'd suck at kissing. Draco thought.
Hermione felt Draco's tongue push against her lips, and she unconsciously opened her mouth. He coaxed her tongue into his mouth and she rewarded him with a moan. Shit! No, don't moan! Don't moan! Why did I moan? Great, now he's smirking. She thought.
Ha! she moaned. I'm so gonna get her for that. He sucked on her bottom lip and she fought back another moan. He smirked. He heard Lavender and Parvarti knock over some chairs in the potions room in their hurry. Apparently Hermione heard it too because she attempted to pull away. However Draco caught on and pulled her closer to his body. They both heard the girls scramble around the corner. I wonder how long she'll let me kiss her... He thought. But he soon found his answer as she gave him a violent shove.
"What the hell aer you doing Malfoy!" she whispered urgently.
"Getting my 'thank you' kiss of course." he smirked.
"And the fact that Lavender and Parvarti were watching us was just a perk." she put her hands on her hips.
"Exactly." If looks could kill Draco Malfoy would be a corpse by now with the look Hermione was sending his way. "Alright, alright, so you got back at Brown for whatever-the-hell she did, what's wrong with that?" he gave her an innocent smile.
"I need to wash my mouth out." she said and headed off to their dorms. She mumbled the password and rushed into the bathroom.
She stood in the bathroom with her tooth brush in hand, all ready to go with toothpaste already on it. All she needed to do was put it in her mouth. She really didn't want to brush her teeth. After all he tasted really good. Minty...with a hint of chocolate... maybe he ate a chocolate frog at breakfast... She sighed and rinsed the toothbrush off.
She walked towards the door. She had her hand on the handle when he said. "Come on Granger hurry up Dumbledore is waiting for us. Besides its not like your really going to wash your mouth out, after all you kissed me. I mean if anyone should wash their mouth out it should be me. After all I did kiss a mud"
She flung the door open and yelled. "A WHAT!"
"Listen Granger, old habits die hard. I didn't mean it. I'm serious." she walked passed him ignoring everything he said. She might have listened to something he said if only apologized. But of course malfoy couldn't say 'I'm sorry' to anyone who could hear him.
She fumed all the way to Dumbledore's office.
Draco sighed. Shit...
Hey! So so so so so so so so so so sorry it took me so long. It was spring break and I was off for a 11 days. And instead of spending every minute on the computer...I spent it on the couch watching TV because it rained all week. I also had a severe writers block. I know what's going to happen in the next chapter but I needed a connecting chapter. You know? Anyways the next chapter is all set up and should be up soon. Warning: it's going to be shorter than usual.
