Chapter 6

She opened her mouth to make good on her threat and he covered it with his hand. Hermione bit down on it hard, making Malfoy yelp in pain. He had let go of her and she jumped up.

She pointed her finger at him scoulding,"That's what you get you loathsome, filthy, downright..." She didn't get to finish. Malfoy had recovered and got up slinging her like a rag doll over his shoulder. He started walking to his bedroom. "Let me go!" Hermione kicked and screamed but Malfoy didn't seem to care. Then it occured to her,'That little snit put a silencing spell on me!'

He sat her down on his bed. She made a move to run for it and he blocked her every way."Now if you'll stop screaming and don't move I will lift the spell." Again, she didn't have much choice in the matter. He would just stop her from leaving and if she screamed he would just put the spell on her.

"Now that you have quieted down..."he said and then started to scream at her,"if you EVER, try to hit me or bite me,or do anything I feel is out of context towards me again, you'll be sorry!"

"Oh is that all Malfoy?"She said taking his threats idley."What are you going to do? If anything happens to me you will lose your Head Boy position!"She grinned.

Malfoy watched her with cool eyes."I never said I would hurt you Granger, I said you would be sorry." With that, Hermione got off the bed and walked over to him."Sorry will I?" She slapped him squarley in the face."Try me you twit!" She had challenged him.

He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her close, his nose touching hers,"I warned you." He leaned down and kissed her hard on the mouth. She stood there in complete shock. He pressed harder, using his tongue to prode for and opening.

Her mouth seemed to unwillingly open to him, allowing him access to its warm depths. His tongue lightly massaged hers.

He used his great skill and strength and picked her up with one arm and carried her to the bed. Hermione was so stunned she didn't think to move or protest but actually felt herself draw him nearer. She could feel her body warming to his touch as he caressed her hips and nibbled along her throat. A moan escaped her lips.

This made Draco feverish. he sought her mouth with a craving. Her hands were pulling at his hair. He rolled to position her on top of him and she kissed him with force.

Then just as abruptly as it had begun, it ended. He pushed her off him, springing out of bed. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the portrait pushing her out into the hall."I told you Granger, you shouldn't have done it. Are you sorry yet?"He didn't wait for an answer and slammed the portrait shut.

On the other side Hermione was devastated at the attack on her emotional well being. The Portrait of Draco smirked. She wasn't ready to let this go. She went in her room and through the bathroom readying her wand to do battle only to find the door to his room was locked. She tried an 'alohamora' and found that didn't work either.

"Damn you Malfoy, I hate you! You will pay for that!"She yelled as she pounded on his door.Sobbing, she went back to her room and threw herself on her bed buiring her face into the pillow. She cried until she fell asleep.Her last thought a question,'How could I let him hurt me like that?'

Draco was lying on his bed wondering what had come over him. He hadn't wanted to go that far. He rubbed his face with the palms of his hands.He could still smell the strawberry scent of her on them. He still felt the heat of her body the taste of her sweet lips against his.

"Damn it Draco! Stop that! She's a deserved it!"He needed to clear his head. He made sure to listen for Hermione as he opened the portrait. Putting on a robe, he left the tower to make an unscheduled 'patrol'.
