Chapter 11

Hermione emerged from the bathroom an hour later. She found Draco was softly snoring on his side of the bed. She noticed that a tray of food had been left next to her side. She shrugged and began eating the warm food. "He must have added a heating charm to it."

She thought as she dug into the baked potato. She finished fast because she just happen to be famished.

She gingerly got in the bed trying not to wake Malfoy but after a few minutes of tossing and turning to get comfortable she turned to face open eyes. "Do you mind? I was trying to sleep here!" Malfoy said clearly irritated.

Hermione rolled her eyes," I can't help it! I am use to cuddling up next to something."

Draco snorted, " Oh so you have let Potter share your bed! Or was it Weasel?"

Hermione frowned, " Your so perverted Malfoy! I meant my CAT! He usually sleeps right next to me and I hold him. I miss him."

"Well then why did you not bring him? You seemed to bring everything else inside that bag of yours. You could have added him."

"Don't you think I thought of bringing him? It's way to dangerous for him. Especially now that we have Death Eaters hot on our tails. I thought about apparating to him and then focusing on you as an anchor to bring us back, but the Death Eaters would surely sense the riff of the apparation and find us."

"Why didn't you just set up an 'apparatus disconjunctus' ward?" Draco asked. Hermione sat straight up in bed and smacked her forehead. " Why didn't I think of that before?"

She grabbed the wand next to her and jumped out of bed. "What do you think your doing Granger?" She turned on the lamp momentarily blinding him. "I'm going to set that shield and then go get Crookshanks of course!"

"Oh no your not! I will not share my bed with a flea ridden half-breed! It's bad enough I have to deal with a dirty MUDBLOOD!"

Hermione had enough of his foul mouth. She flung herself in his direction and slapped him so hard that his head hit the bedpost. "Ow! You little…." Draco grabbed her around her waist and pulled her down. They started a wrestling match around the bed. He never got a swipe back at her. He was to busy avoiding her sharp nails and teeth.

"Let go of me this instant Malfoy! Wait until I get my wand!" She cried out. He glanced over at the floor. He was grateful that the wand was so far out of her reach. His surprise attack had caused her to drop it.

She was a friend of Ginny Weasley! He knew that the girl must have taught her that damn 'bat bogey hex' and he didn't feel like getting hit with that one again!

Hermione's strength was leaving her body. He had her pinned down by both arms an his leg was keeping hers from moving. He watched as she tried to catch her breath. Her chest slowly heaving as her breathing turned normal.

Her face was red and her hair was plastered to the bed from the sweat of their battle. She looked so damn sexy! It was in that moment he lost all control. Above them a shooting star from the enchanted ceiling crashed into another star and sent sparks flying down around them.

The kiss was so gentle that Hermione barely felt it at first. Draco waited until she responded and he deepened the kiss. He drew her closer so his bare chest was against her soft curves. She crossed her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his hair.

Draco broke the kiss suddenly and slid off of her. He got under the blankets and turned toward the wall.

"Goodnight."

Hermione, still in shock, didn't respond. She just mimicked him by tucking herself under the covers and tried her best to sleep.

"What just happened?" They both thought as they drifted off into deep sleep.
