"Nooooo! Stop! STOP!" Hermione cried as the last coach left without her to Hogwarts.

Great, now I'm stuck here.

She looked up at the overcast sky with malcontent. A flash of lightning lighted the sky. Perfect she thought as the first wet droplets pelted her face. The rain buzzed louder and soon Hermione was soaked to the bone.

"Shit! I just got my hair done! Ugh, could you rain any harder? she yelled. The rain began to pour uncontrollably.

Could things just get any worse?

"If I didn't know any better I'd have thought you were American," came a voice from behind her. Hermione gasped.

When I said could things just get any worse, I DIDN'T MEAN IT SERIOUSLY!

"My, my, my. If it isn't our little mudblood all wet. What is she doing out here all alone?"

"Malfoy," she acknowledged hoarsely. "What are you doing here?"

'That's my business. And – " Draco Malfoy's voice was drowned out by an earsplitting rumble. The rain kept falling harder. Torrents of gushing water had caused both of them to be drenched.

"Let's find cover – and make for higher ground," she yelled over the noise looking up at his face.

His eyes however were not resting on her face but looking her up and down. Gosh Malfoy just checked me out.

Hermione Granger had a beautiful face, and an equally perfect body to go with it. She had changed alot and unbeknownst to her she was the new boy candy. ;) Now Draco Malfoy was noticing those changes with enjoyment.

"Yeah whatever," he said as his silver eyes turned away and scanned the horizon carelessly. There was something sexy about him, and Hermione had to admit it to herself, although grudgingly.

Draco Malfoy was not even thinking about what she was saying, just glad that he had found another human in this vast wilderness. Even if it was the mudblood. But now she's a sexy mudblood he told himself

They slushed through the mud, following Hermione's suggestion, but suddenly she found herself slip. She landed squat on her butt. Trembling she got up with a hand offered by Draco. She looked down at her skirt and miserably found it was stained with mud.

"Noooo," she moaned desperately.

Draco gave a funny smile that unintentionally held seductiveness. "What?" she asked.

"I just imagined you moaning 'Yeeees' instead of 'Noooo.'"

Omg thought Hermione, her face reddening. How could he just say that outright? What a pervert.

Hmm… but a sexy pervert.

Stop it with the Draco Malfoy is sexy thing already Hermione! Really, he doesn't havea shred of decency! How could he just SAY that!

But he is good looking.

Shut up! He's NOT good looking and he's NOT sexy. Got it?

The baffled rage in her face showed but he didn't seem to care. The tension between them mounted and suddenly Hermione was in his arms his lips pressed against hers.

How did that happen? she wondered

Hermione lost herself in a blank state devoid of thought as they kissed passionately. She lifted her hand to his his hair and seductively ran her hands through it. His hands glided down her wet back. She drew away for air, her breathing quicker.

"Malfoy, no…" she said unsure of herself. She hardly knew where she was or what she was doing. He held up a finger to her lips. Slowly he began kissing her neck, his other hand stroking her lower back.

"Malfoy. Malfoy no! MALFOY!" she screamed but was silenced when he began kissing her mouth.

He could feel her trying to push herself away. He felt himself annoyed with the little mudblood. God she didn't know how to enjoy herself. What was her fucked up problem anyway?

She seemed equally annoyed, fire in her eyes. Clearly it seemed she always had her way with the opposite sex. Draco Malfoy however didenjoy this attitude and an expression of amusement was subtly present on his facial features.

She crossed her arms and bit her lip. Her wet hair hung in loose ringlets. She shook her head, mainly in disappointment at herself, and began to walk away. He decided to follow her. It wouldn't do to leave her out here alone. Strange how hate can flare into passion, then translate itself back into a faint loathing.

"Get lost Malfoy!" she called behind her.

Oh sorry, I guess the "faint loathing" was misplaced. Perhaps "extreme loathing" would better describe Hermione's feelings for him.

"Are you sure?" he asked as if he had some secret she needed to know.

"YES!"

"Ook…" he said in a teasing voice. He effortlessly strided out of her view, and soon vanished behind the trees.

Ok, so I'm alone now. But no need to panic! I'll get myself out of this. Gosh what the hell was I thinking to kiss Malfoy back!

Butyou kinda enjoyed it…

Ugh you're back again! Shut up, will you?

She walked steadily through the glistening grass, rain still increasingly bucketing the earth, until one foot began to sink into a muddy heap.

Aaaah! Gross! No I'm not going to call Malfoy for help, my pride is greater than that. I don't need his help. Besides, I'm so embarrassed at myself. I lack proper restraint when I'm around him. How irresponsible I was... I don't need Malfoy's help.

Mustering all her strength, she jumped, then carefully hoisted out the leg covered in mud up to the knee.

See she thought, breathing in deeply, I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I don't need Malfoy! Nope! I'm juuusst fine by myself.

She kept walking, making for a lower area. Of course she had read that in a thunderstorm you should crawl on all fours if it got really bad but – she didn't feel the need to resort to that just yet.

It's ok Hermione. Your power lies in your calmness. Just keep calm –

"AAAAHH!" she yelped as a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree.

"MALFOY! I'm sorry! Come back!"
