Chapter Four- Jumper

0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Draco was nibbling Hermione's neck as she fumbled with the keys to the door and was giggling at the sensations brought on by his lips.

"Well, if it isn't two love birds going in for a romp," they heard a voice from behind them.

Hermione's spine stiffened and Draco stopped his nibbling. They both turned around to find the black-haired wizard that was Hermione's ex-boyfriend.

"Potter," Draco said curtly.

"Hello, Harry," Hermione cried, wriggling free of Draco's grasp and down the stairs to give her friend a hug. As Harry caught Hermione in a hug he looked back up at Draco with a smirk that said, "Look, she's hugging me, what are you going to do about it?"

Draco just stared Harry down with the utmost hatred. Just when he had gotten her, Potter had to come back and steal her away again.

"Harry, I'm so glad you're here. Why are you?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I wanted to see you, luv. I wanted to see how you were doing."

"Well come on inside," she said and Draco gave another growl. Hermione headed back up the stairs with harry in hand and opened the door without a problem, pulling Harry inside. Draco just stood in front of the door, not sure whether to go in or not, not sure if she wanted privacy. "Draco are you coming in or not?" Hermione yelled from inside the apartment.

Draco sighed and walked in the apartment. "Coming, luv," he said. When he walked into the apartment he saw Hermione in the kitchen grabbing stuff out of cupboards and getting out the sugar.

"You want some tea too, Draco?" she asked when she got to the cups.

"Yeah," he said.

Harry glared at him while Hermione's back was turned, but she didn't seem to notice the tension between the two enemies.

"So how have you been, Harry?" Hermione asked with her back still turned to the two men.

"Pretty good. I just got out of a relationship with a great girl and I miss her," he explained.

"I'm sorry, Harry. Why did she leave you or whatever?"

"Not really sure. She just left one day."

"You should go after her," Hermione explained.

"I did," he said.

"And what happened?" she asked.

"I told her I still loved her," he said.

"And after that?" she asked turning back around witht eh cups of tea in her hands. She set them down on the counter in front of the two boys.

"I was hoping you would tell me," Harry said.

Hermione stared in confusion at Harry. "How would I kn-know?" she stuttered.

Harry stood up and closed the distance between them. Standing in front of her, he whispered, "I still need you, Hermione."

Draco gave an annoyed cough that seemingly went unnoticed. He watched in hate as Harry bent down to kiss the girl he thought he had finally had.

Then to his surprise: "Harry, no," as she moved away.

"What?" was the stunned reply.

"Yeah, what?" Draco asked and the two looked to him. "Sorry," he murmured. He had thought Hermione would have returned to Harry willingly. After all she had been trying to get ahold of him just yesterday.

"Harry, I said no," Hermione said.

"But I still love you, Hermione. I want you back," he complained.

"Well, I don't want you back. I don't love you anymore, Harry," she said.

Harry stood dumb struck at her. He had thought that his ploy would work.

They just stared at each other for a long time until there was a small "Ahem," from the counter where Draco was leaning back in his chair, merrily drinking his tea.

"Oh, bugger off, Malfoy," Harry said in an irritable tone.

Draco feigned innocence. "What did I do?" he asked sweetly.

Hermione smiled and rolled her eyes. When Harry looked back at her she grew serious again. "Perhaps you should leave, Harry," she said, lowering her eyes to the floor.

"Hermione," Harry tried again, lifting a hand to touch her face. She pulled back at the contact as if electricity had bolted through her in that instant. Harry lowered his hand and then turned to leave. He gave a final glower to Draco, and then he was gone.

Hermione brought her eyes back over to Draco and laughed at him. "Why are you so smug?" she asked, walking over to him.

"Well, if it was not my imagination, you just kicked famous Harry Potter out of your house," he smirked.

"Well, how can he think that a year and not even a phone call that I would take him back?" she questioned.

"Can I tell yousomething?" Draco asked Hermione and she nodded.

"Well, I heard some rumors, and these may very well just be rumors, that Potter was cheating on you with Ginny Wood."

Hermione gasped but then smiled. "She never could have just one man."

Draco laughed at the truth of the statement. At school, each house had a "princess", "prince", and "slut". It was the way things went. Hermione: Princess of Gryffindor; Harry: Prince of Gryffindor; Ginny: Slut of Gryffindor.

"Oh well," Hermione said as she sat down by him. "That's over now."

But Draco still had a question. "Why were you trying to get ahold of him?"

"Do you want to know the truth? She asked.

"Yes," he said, looking into her eyes

"I left my favorite jumper at his house. I just realized it and wanted it back," she said.

"Is it blue?" Draco asked.

"Yes," Hermione said excitedly.

"Hmm… I think it might be there still. I will look when I return home," he said.

Hermione's face fell. She forgot that he still lived in England and her in France.

Draco saw this and wrapped an arm around her. "Do you plan on living here for long?" he asked.

"I have a great job here…" she explained she curled up closer to him.

"Well, if you ever get a vacation, come see me," he said as he stood.

Hermione stood up too, depressed at the vacancy of his arm around her shoulders. "Are you leaving?"

Draco looked at her sadly. "Do you really want me to stay?" he asked, sure that Patter had ruined the moment.

"Yes I want you to stay," she said. "Why would I want you to go?" she asked.

"Because Potter," he started.

"He doesn't matter. He is just an annoying prick that needs to get the hell out of my life."

Draco stared at her. "Wow, to think that would ever come out of your mouth."

"I wasn't the goody-two-shoes everyone thought of me, you know," she said, hands on her hips.

Draco smirked. "Sure," he said as he wrapped her up in his arms. "Sure…"

"Must I prove it to you?" she smirked, pulling him into the bedroom.

"So it would seem," he smiled as he followed.

Harry stood glowering outside the apartment. He didn't much care that Hermione wouldn't have him back, re really didn't love her, he just wanted her away from Malfoy. When he heard their words of love in the alleyway as he was snogging that French barmaid, he had gotten pissed off that she would leave Harry for his worst enemy. She need to be away from Malfoy.

He scoffed as he walked away to find the barmaid.

A/N: SORRY ABOUT THE PAGEANT! (we've gotten so many reviews telling us to update I had to mention it.)

Honestly, Brittany is writing it. It's just taking a while. Good news?

Wedding Night two is almost finished! Maybe... we're not sure how it's going to end yet. Sorry about the lack of updates, we've both been really busy with our senior year and all. I, Amber, was for some unknown reason attempting to take on five AP classes... I DON'T ADVISE IT! But, now I'm only in four, so I have a wee bit more time.We would say 'expect at least one update per week' but seeing as how untrue to our word that we have been with Pageant (cough Brittany's fault cough)we won't .

Plus, I have a feeling we will need to start revising some of our stuff before we post it. The wonderful thing aobut ShiverBoo has always been that you get what we write with no changes, but as I have been typing some of it up, I've noticed that it sounds dumb sometimes. What do you all think? Should we revise it?

Sorry, again, and I think that is all.

Lots of Lemons (from Brittany) and Much love (from Amber),

P.S. To the reviewer who asked for an update on Hermione Granger's Fan Club.

NO! It's over. Sorry to disappoint.
