By the way, at the risk of sounding like every other post on here…I don't own Harry Potter. We all know who does, so enjoy the new chapter.

Hermione tried to keep her cool as she walked back to her room, clasping two of the edges of her robe together. That was supposed to be a routine fight break-up with the satisfaction of picking on Malfoy thrown in as an added bonus. Now she was the one trying to pull back together her dignity and her robe.

Draco watched as Hermione walked away. If that girl could stalk it would be what she'd be doing. A familiar ache in his groin brought him back to earth. Gritting his teeth he tried to forget how she felt pressed up against him.

Her kind should repulse him, not make him burn! Wasn't that what he'd always been taught by his father.

Maybe the stresses of the last few months were catching up to him. It's not like there had been much to smile about and…god, maybe he was going mad!

It was only three weeks into the new term and Crabbe and Goyle were already starting to fight his leadership. How dare they get brains now! Life was hard enough without having to watch his back, clearly they'd have to be put back in their place.

Focusing on that issue he attempted to block out the crippling ache in his groin. Once standing Draco made to walk towards the dungeons, back came to an almost complete halt. Hermione had been there, had she heard anything that could be held against him? He may have been many things but he'd never been stupid and careless. No one new what he did or when. It was the only way he had lasted this long at Hogwarts without expulsion. He'd have to look into that too.

Draco walked back to the dungeons to find someone who could aid in getting rid of the ache that was crippling him. Once he stepped through the door into the common room Draco was cornered by Pansy Parkinson.

"Parkinson, to what do I owe the honour of your company" Draco drawled as he attempted to edge away from the shrew.

"Oh Drakie, I thought we could play together a bit. It's been so long, I miss you"

"It's only been a few months and you were well used when I got there so I am sure there are others."

"But Drakie none of them can make me feel like you can"

Draco was still trying to find a way out of the situation when he realised that no matter how filthy he might feel he could be with Pansy and it would at least cure him of one problem. She was attractive after all, it was just the personality that ruined the image.

Following Pansy to her room Draco watched as she lay out on the bed cocking her finger at him. This was hardly new ground Pansy had the same routine every time. Whenever he did go here she only succeeded in dulling the ache, leaving him in need again but with a small reprieve.

Pansy grabbed Draco and brought him down on top of her. Draco captured her lips with his and kissed her passionately attempting to get in the mood.

None of it was working, every time he felt the sweep of her tongue it was like a disgusting personal invasion. Pansy's hand was moving down his body, it should have made him burn all the more but it just made him want to run.

Grabbing her hands Draco pulled himself out of her grasp.

"Pansy, I'm just not in the mood for this, I'll catch you at dinner". It was only a partial lie, he did want it just not from her and he wasn't up for considering who he did want from. Hi tailing it out of the room Draco headed for his own room to have a cold shower.

Draco tried not to think about any of it. But every time he closed his eyes he felt Grangers body pressed intimately against his. God! Why couldn't he have just followed through with Pansy? He'd never had trouble before, she might not be the nicest girl but she was a girl all the same.

Thinking this through his mind again wandered back to Hermione. Just the thought of her made his body strain and left him gritting his teeth trying to get a hold of himself. Well at least he was still active down there, which ruled out some very unwelcoming problems. But if he let his mind wander in the direction it seemed to want to it lead to a horrible thought. Geeky, bushy haired Hermione had ruined him for all others…at least until he tasted her for himself. Then he could move on from his stupid fixation.

He'd have to find a way to get close to her…
