Draco and Hermione: Lust or love?
..The Book..
…………………
Hermione woke up and found the bed empty beside her. Maybe Draco had gone to get dressed and ready for class.
Hermione yawned and stretched in her bed. She got up and walked over to the bathroom. She had a warm shower and got ready for the day.
Down in the common room, the fire was almost gone. That was odd. The fire was always really hot and the flames high. With a frown, Hermione grabbed her wand and made the fire higher. The common room door opened and Ron walked in.
"Hey, Ron." Hermione said with a slight smile.
"Hey, Herm." he walked over and sat down on the couch. He looked over to her then into the fire. "You have to go to the teachers table before you eat."
"Okay." Hermione told him. She looked over to the table to grab her bag when she saw Draco's book. She gasped, making Ron look over to the table. She grabbed the book and flipped the pages so the front was showing. She stood up quick enough to put it in her bag. But she wasn't quick enough for Ron not to see.
"Hermione, what was that?" he asked, standing up.
"Nothing!" Hermione said a little to fast.
"Hermione, give me the book."
"Why? It isn't yours and you have no right to have the book."
"Give it to me," Ron commanded, his hand out, waiting for the book. "Hermione, now!" he snapped. He walked closer to her and she stepped back.
"I have to go. I'll see ya around, Ron." and with that she turned and ran out the common room door.
Hermione walked fast down the corridor, making sure Ron wasn't behind her. She walked with the same pace down to the great hall. She put her bag down beside one of the other seventh year girls, telling her that she'd be right back and walked up to the teacher's table.
"Miss. Granger," Dumbledore greeted.
"Hello, you wanted me?"
"Yes. I have to inform you that there with be an exchange this year. You and Mr. Malfoy will be in charge of this exchange."
"To where?" Hermione asked.
"Another school, Miss Granger. The Prefects and two members from each house will be going with Mr. Malfoy and yourself."
"But why?"
"Just for something different. Is that alright with you?"
I really wasn't but Hermione didn't say anything. "Yes, it's fine." And then she turned around and walked over to her table to eat breakfast.
……………………
"You have to what?" Pavarti asked. Hermione looked over to her with a frown.
"Shh."
She blushed and then whispered back, "oh, yeah, sorry. Can't disturb the class. So you have to go with…?"
"Draco and two people from each house."
"What year?" Hermione shrugged and looked over to Snape, who was talking about some dark potion that Hermione already knew of.
"Are you nervous about going?"
Another shrug. "I really don't know."
"Is there a problem back there?" Snape asked.
"No."
"Then why are you talking?"
Pavarti looked away, making Hermione answer. "Umm, I didn't get why you were telling us about the potion. So I asked."
"You interrupted the class just because you don't understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"One more time Miss. Granger and you'll be seeing me after class." Hermione signed and glared at him as he started to talk about the potion again. Some of the Slytherins were laughing at her.
"He is so mean!" Pavarti said to her.
"Tell me about it."
"Miss. Granger. Please, come sit over here." Snape pointed to a desk in front of him. "And I'll see you after class."
Hermione glared at him but got up. She collected her things and went over to the table Snape had pointed to.
"This potion can kill…" and he went on again. Hermione sat there, watching his mouth move but not hearing a word he was saying. It felt like a few hours before they were dismissed. Hermione grabbed her bag and threw it over one shoulder, making her way up to Snapes deck.
"Miss. Granger, I will see you here and seven tonight."
"For what?"
Snape looked up from the papers in front of him. "You'll find out latter."
"Yes, sir." and then she turned around and walked out, her temper sky high.
She was walking down the hall what someone bumped her, making her fall over, her book falling out of her bag.
"Oh, sorry, Herm. Let me help you." Ron bent down on the floor and helped her put the things back in her bag.
"What do you have next?" Ron asked her.
"Nothing. I'm going to the library to do some homework." she touched his arm. "Thanks."
"No problem." He pulled his arm away. "I guess I'll see ya around then." and he turned and left. Ron seemed different. He was all tense and jumpy. So unlike Ron. Hermione shook her head and went to the library. She found a spot by herself and opened her bag.
"Oh, god!" she said. Where was it? She looked threw her bag to see if it was there but it wasn't. "Damn you, Ron! You took it!"
"Took what?" Hermione looked up, startled. It was Draco. "What did Ron take?"
"Nothing!" she said a little to fast. Then she smiled, trying to convince him.
"Hermione, what did he take?"
"Nothing." she lied again but this time more calmly.
"Oh. Well I just went back to get my book and the one I draw in and isn't there. Do you know where it is?"
Hermione tried to acted normal. "No. I didn't see it at all this morning."
"Yeah, right, Hermione. Where is the book?"
"I don't know." she told him, getting up and grabbing her bag. "The last time I seen it was last night."
"You took it," Draco accused her.
"No I didn't!" she lied. She then swung her bag over her shoulder and started to walk. Draco grabbed her arm.
"Where the hell is the book?"
She jerked her arm free from his tight grip. "I don't know!" she yelled, hoping someone would come and see what was happening. But nobody came.
"Hermione, did Ron take the book?" his voice was quieter.
"I don't know." she told him again.
His temper was rising again. "Once more, Hermione, where is the book?"
"I don't know!" Draco pushed her back against the book case, an arm on either side if her head.
"Where is it, Hermione?"
"Let me go."
"Not until you tell me where it is." Hermione looked up at him. His eyes were a cold blue, and evil blue. "Tell me where the damn book is."
"No."
He again pushed her into the book shelf but this time with his hips. His hand came up and stroked her cheek. "C'mon, Hermione. Tell me where the book is."
She closed her eyes tightly, moving her head away from his hand. She didn't want him to touching her.
"Hermione, sweet Hermione." he whispered into her ear. "I just need the book, that's all I'm askin' for."
"And you're not going to get it," she whispered back, her stomach in tight knots.
"I will. I will get that book and then you'll be sorry. There's no need to wasn't my time with a mudblood like you," he spat.
Hermione opened her eyes and looked up at him, anger now coming in. "Then get away from me and stop wasting your time." she told him.
"What if I don't want to, thought?" he whispered, his mouth close to her face. "What if I want you? What if you want me, too?"
"I don't was anything to do with you." she spat at him. "Just go away and make daddy happy. You seem to be good at that."
"At what?" he asked, his eyes going even darker than before.
"Being your father. You're like his clone."
That hit home. A vein in his neck popped out. He raised a hand to hit her, but instead he grabbed a book and threw it.
"You don't know what you're talking about."
"Yes, I do. You are so much like him. You didn't hit me but you were going to. Threatening me makes you no better than him."
"I am better than him!" he told her, his eyes changing some how.
"No, Draco. You aren't," she challenged him. "You're even worse. You will die as a death eater, as a dark lord that kills for pleasure. You will live in hell and then rot in hell."
The next thing he done took her by surprise. He broke down crying. He sunk to the floor, crying into his hands. Hermione wanted so much to have him stop and comfort him. But she didn't. He didn't deserve her nor did he deserve to live.
"I'll get your book back, Malfoy. But I wont help you with anything else. The next time I cry for you is when you really do go to hell, when you can no longer do anything to harm anyone. But I wont cry in sorrow, I'll cry with joy. " With that she turned around and walked away, leaving him there crying.
