Chapter Six

'Hmmm… yumyumyumyumyum…….. Argh! Hermione! What are you doing? What are you thinking! Do you realise who this is? And what he is trying to do! Do something! You must stop this!'

Hermione was lying fully dressed on a green-swathed double bed. Draco Malfoy was gently cupping her face with one hand and kissing her softly. She had been really enjoying herself before she felt one of his hands reach down and start to fumble with her belt. WHAT! Then she realised a couple of other important somethings: like what he was thinking, and what he was planning on doing. Oh no. She had to stop this. Now. Her arms tightened around his neck as she stiffened; no response. She tried moaning; trying to catch his attention. The only reaction she got was a deepening of the kiss. She couldn't do this, she wasn't ready… she… she was on her period! AHHH! She really REALLY had to stop him. But what could she do? WHAT COULD SHE DO!

She did the only thing she could think of. She champed down. Hard. On his tongue. That got a reaction.

Malfoy screamed in pain and shot off of Hermione, giving her space to breathe and move once more. He clamped his hand over his mouth and looked over at the girl he had been kissing a second ago with watery, pain-filled eyes.

Hermione sat up, feeling very guilty as she found a coppery taste lingering on her teeth.

"Draco, I – "He rapidly backed away until he felt the wall behind him. His face a mask of fear, he watched as Hermione shifted onto her knees and began to shuffle forward, her arms outstretched in a gesture of peace. Draco whimpered and tried to press himself further into the wall. Hermione sighed in exasperation.

"Bloody hell Malfoy, it was only a small bite. There was nothing else I could do! I couldn't breathe!" That brought him back to reality.

"A SMALL BITE? Maybe – oh I don't know – for a DRAGON! What kind of monster are you Hermione? I thought wanted to kiss! You were all… you had a 'c'mon, kiss me Draco' look on your face."

"That wasn't my fault."

"Oh, Potter made you do it did he?"

"No."

"Then what?"

"Um…"

"Spit it out Granger." Hermione gulped.

"You're…Um…" Hermione gulped again. "Sexy?"

Draco smirked and she winced. Did she just say that? Did Hermione Granger just admit that Draco Malfoy was sexy? This wasn't her; it could only mean one thing. She turned away from Draco dissolved into tears, smothering her face with pillows once more.

What was happening now? What the hell was she crying about this time? Draco looked over and saw how Hermione's hair spread around her in a halo. She was quite pretty like that… Malfoy! Get a GRIP! She's a stupid mudblood who just BIT YOU. She's an animal. What your father said was true. Still, she was kinda cute… Draco sighed, resigning himself to the fact that he was going to comfort her, again, and continue to be nice to her until they were out of this psychotic hell-hole.

"Hermione?" He called tentatively from his position of safety. "Hermione? What's wrong?" She mumbled into the pillow.

"If I come over there will you promise not to bite me?" Hermione ignored him and continued to sob.

'Bugger this.' Draco scrambled over to where she was lying and asked again why she was crying; bending over her so that he could catch her reply.

"I'm possessed."

"You're… WHAT?"

"I'm possessed. It's the only explanation for why I admitted that you were sexy. I'm possessed."

"When you say 'admitted'…"

"Yes Draco, you are sexy and you know it full well, but that's no reason for me to go and say it! Argh!"

Hermione had decided enough was enough. Angrily she sat up, rubbing her eyes and then glanced at Draco, who was sitting there looking very confused.

"I'm going to sleep now." She stated.

"I'll keep you warm." He offered.

"You'll keep away from me."

"C'mon! I'm sexy, you're passable. We're cool!"

"Keep away or die."

"Granger, you are so stuck up your own ass."

"And you are such a pervert. Sleep on THAT side of the bed and I'll sleep here." While speaking, Hermione had constructed a dividing wall of pillows and scooted over to the far side of the room/bed from Draco, pointing to emphasis the difference of sleeping arrangements. She wrapped herself in her cloak and lightly grasped her wand in the hand as she slid under the duvet, her back towards him, and lay down finally ready for sleep.

"Fine. Be that way you pathetic little mudblood."

"There are reasons Malfoy."

"Whatever."

Grumpy, Draco imitated Herimone but on the far side of the bed, disbelieving that he was sharing a bed with a hot girl and not getting any. He was a Malfoy! He thought in indignation. What was happening here? He glared at the stone wall he was now facing, thinking of ways to get his own back.

There were a few minutes of silence during which Draco's breathing evened and slowed.

"Sorry Draco." Hermione muttered, her eyes closed, thinking that he was asleep.

Draco smirked into his pillow.

"Sleep well Granger." He whispered back, but she didn't hear. She was already in dreamland.

She dreamt about bunnies.

Hermione opened her eyes and looked towards the window, to find there was none. Curious she sat up and sleepily looked around the room. No windows, no doors. The double bed that she was sitting in was in one corner, a toilet with no screen in another. She blinked, rubbing her eyes. What were all those white things hopping around? What the hell were rabbits doing in her bedroom! And why was there a warm lump not too far away from her! She gasped as she recognised Malfoy and the events of the night before came crashing back. At least the room had expanded, but really! Hermione's mouth set itself into a grim line as she double checked that she still had her wand and pushed back the duvet so that she could climb out of bed. Then her mouth opened in shock as her eyes boggled. Why was she only wearing her underwear? Where had all her clothes gone?

"Malfoy…" She said warningly.

"Huh?" Draco groggily lifted his head away from the pillow, a line of drool running down his chin.

"Prepare to die."
