Chapter 3 - Banned

Hermione shifted in the bed with a smile on her face. She rested her head on top of the warm chest next to her. This was so nice for her but then her eyes flew open.

Draco.

Draco was in her bed and very very warm , he had a really nice chest... no she couldn't think of such things. Draco... enemy... evil... incredibly hot...

She didn't want to move in fear of waking him and then there would be an awkward moment but maybe if she went to take a shower he would wake up and leave before she got back. Good plan in her opinion.
She slowly moved her arms in an attempt to not shake him.

Success!

Now she had to slowly sit up without rocking the bed. She slowly sat up and twisted so her legs dangled along the side of the bed.

Failure.

Draco awakened and smiled before grabbing her around the waist and pulling her back to the bed. He obviously enjoyed them sleeping together without actually sleeping together. In reality Draco was having problems with his family, unbeknownst to Hermione. His father expected him to join the 'family business' the moment he graduated from Hogwarts. Sometimes at night he wished he could just lay with someone, it didn't have to be intimate just another person laying next to him to ground him to reality that he still had somewhat of a choice in the decision for after Hogwarts.

Hermione gave half of a smile before deciding she couldn't do this. Pansy. Think of Pansy.

"Draco."

"Yeah."

"I think we need to talk." She said nervously turning to face him.

"About what?"

"Pansy."

"Oh."

"Yeah, Oh. It's obvious I like you and you like me."

"Very true." He said smiling.

"Your with Pansy. I think we can only be friends. Nothing more. Hopefully nothing less."

"I love her you know."

"I know."

"But there are these feelings telling me that I have something good but there might be something better out there."

"Guys who say that end up cheating."

"Which I will never do."

"Good, cause I would never want her to be hurt."

"Same."

"So, it's settled?"

"What's settled?" Draco said with a hint of a smile.

"You and me, nothing could ever happen."

"Then it's settled."

Draco said it was settled, but she did feel so warm and so... no couldn't go there. She was a mudblood she was simply Hermione. Just yesterday he was insulted her and now he couldn't find a mean bone in his body.

Hermione sat on a stone bench that was covered by the outer hallways. She watched as the rain fell and she saw as the grass were being pushed down by a force greater than them. The rain was actually very calming.
She then felt a hand touched her shoulder, she spun around to be face to face with Harry and Ron.

"Coming to breakfast? I hear Dumbledore has a really big announcement to make." Harry said as Hermione stood up.

"Yeah, I'm coming. Just a lot on my mind is all."

"Like what? Ron wondered.

"Girly stuff."

"Ugh. Girly stuff is just a code for butterflies and unicorns."

"Whatever you say, Ron."

Hermione couldn't stop thinking about Draco and the way he felt, his hard chest next to her. His protecting hand wrapped around her.

Everyone sat as breakfast appeared in front of them. Ron and Harry of course took handfuls while Hermione was content with a muffin.
She brought up the courage to glance at the Slytherin table. She knew she just made Draco promise that nothing would ever happen between them. She knew they had made a pact but she couldn't help it. She looked directly at him while Pansy kissed him on the cheek. He was looking at her too. She quickly turned away she was realized she had been caught when in reality was caught too.

Dumbledore stood up and everyone quieted.

"Students I have the displeasure of informing you of another threat for Hogwarts. " He paused for he gasps.
"We have reason to believe that there is some sort of predator on campus. We've been told it feeds off the magick of the land and the area in general. The more magick it uses the stronger it becomes. The teachers and I fear that it will somehow 'attack' us after its magically full. We regret to say all students must turn in their wands for a period of time till we can disarm whatever is threatening the campus. Little magick will be used in classroom and we will try to keep all magick used to a low."

Hermione watched Draco as Snape had them put his wand into a basket with the other Slytherin wands. McGonagall walked the Gryffindors table to do the same along with the other tables.

Short Chapter, I know. Sorry. I would love more reviews :)
What do you think is causing the trouble at hogwarts?
