Chapter 4....

My Name Is Draco Malfoy

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco walked back to his room, feeling very confused and angry at himself. *How could this have happened, right under my nose?* He thought angrily to himself. *Who would have done this to Granger? I know she is an annoying know-it-all, but no-one deserves to be in the state I found her in* He walked into his room and jumped on the bed. He lay there, his hands under his head, just thinking and slowly drifting off....

Draco was lying on the bed again, and he was kissing the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He knew her face, but for the life of him he just couldnt place where he knew it from. He had gotten her halterneck undone and her body was was breath-taking. She smiled down at him and began running her hands down his body, tugging at his boxers. He moaned when she began kissing his stomach, and he took notice of her beautiful brown hair. She came back up and kissed him on the lips, and he wrapped a leg around hers. He easily flipped thier postitions and she was laying beneath him, smiling. He began to run his hands down the length of her body, making her shiver. "Draco, its time I told you who I am. My name is...."

Suddenly he sat up boltright on the bed.

"Fuck!" He cursed. He was so close to finding out who she was and he had to wake up! Why does this always happen? He had been with many girls before, but no girl had made him feel like this, and it was a dream! He looked at the clock. 5.30am.

"Oh god, I have hours to sleep" He fell back on his pillows, and tried to keep this amazing creature out of his mind before the next day started.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Saturday sunshine was streaming in the windows, and Hermione's eyes fluttered open. She wondered why the room was white and not red and gold. Then the memories of the night before came flooding back in and tears stung the corners of her eyes.

"Oh my god, I cant face Malfoy after what happened last night!" She whispered.

How horrid! He would torment her until she told him the truth, and she didnt think she could handle recapping that horrible experience. She had barely lived last time, Ron had beaten her so much. She was much more eager to get away last time, and had learnt her lesson. She sighed. This needed to end. Madam Pomfrey came bustling in.

"Good morning, Miss Granger. I just need to check you, and you may leave. I did a pregnancy test like you asked" She frowned at this. Hermione had enough sense not to tell her she had been raped, but that she and her boyfriend were merely worried.

"And it was negative. You are not pregnant" Hermione nearly passed out in relief. Madam Pomfrey smiled.

"You have too much on your plate to have a little one running around, and I think you may agree?" Hermione nodded, laughing. The nurse waved her hand.

"You may leave if you like, you just had a small concussion, but I have a new potion which heals that. So just make sure you use protection if you want to do things with your boyfriend, savvy?" Hermione nodded again.

"Thankyou, Madam Pomfrey" And she took off for the Head common room.

She walked through the portrait, wanting to get to her room as quick as possible, as not to run into Draco. No such luck.

"Granger" She halted, knowing what was going to happen. Draco was sitting on his knees, facing the door on the couch.

"We need to talk. About last night".

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione shook her head.

"No, I am not talking about that. Leave me alone please" And she walked towards the staircase.

Draco nodded.

"I understand. But hear this. No-one deserves to be found like that. No-one. Even you"

Hermione stopped dead in her tracks. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? Malfoy....being nice to her!? He was making it so damn hard for her to hate him. But she couldnt like him..there was no way! She knew he had grown into quite a handsome 17 year old, but she thought he was an asshole. Now hearing this, she wasnt quite as sure as she used to be, which made her crazy! She turned to him.

"What was that?" She asked incrediously. He smirked.

"I have to be honest, I was worried about you. But dont get any ideas. Me and you?", He pointed to her and himself, then shook his finger, "No." She rolled her eyes. Still a prat.

"Thanks for last night, anyway. I mean, I owe my life to you" He shook his head.

"No need. I couldnt just leave you there to die. Who would help me do all the work as Head Boy?" She laughed in spite of herself.

"Well, see ya. I am gonna get some sleep." He patted the seat next to him.

"Come sit next to me. I am bored shitless down here, and seeing we are going to live together, I have decided to make amends and start over. My name is Draco Malfoy" He held out his hand.

Hermione just shook her head at him.

"I dont believe you. I just need to sleep. Last night was one of the worst nights of my life"

"Fine, if you want to be a little prat, then forget it. I will just be a bastard to you all year." Hermione took a moment to collect herself.

"I am sorry, it just surprised me, you know? You have been so mean to me for so long and now you are changing?" He thought for a moment.

"When I saw you last night and took you to the Hospital Wing, I seriously thought you would die" He started to fidget.

She sat next to him and put her hand on his knee. His head snapped up and looked her right in the eyes. His eyes were so bright, and she was very surprised to see a faint trace of fear in those deep, mercury coloured eyes. But it was gone as quickly as it had appeared. He put his head down.

"I didnt want the last thing I said to you to be Mudblood if anything should happen to you. It wouldnt do well on my conscience" Hermione's jaw had hit the floor.

She couldnt believe what she had just heard. She felt Draco's hand on her chin and push her mouth closed gently. She blushed. He chuckled.

"I can understand that this will sound very odd and its pretty sudden, hell its pretty sudden for me! But I want us to get along this year, being it our last and all. And if anyone wants to hurt you again, they need to come through me. I want to look after you, after last night" He smiled shyly, and sat back against the couch. Hermione gathered all her courage before she spoke.

"I have to say that I agree with you. That was a very nice thing you just said, and I would love to make amends with you. I am Hermione Granger" And she held out her hand.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco smiled in relief. He took her hand and shook it firmly. Then they started talking on the couch like they had just met for the first time. Draco realized that Hermione was more than just a know-it-all brat that beat him in all his studies. She was a very intelligent girl in other area's in life. They chatted about the teachers, religion and all sorts of things. Draco even told her that he didnt want to be a Death Eater, and when he refused, his father disowned him. Hermione was very sympathetic, which made him smile. But when Draco mentioned Ron, Hermione didnt want to talk much.

"We are fine" She said bluntly and changed the subject.

Draco frowned, and just shrugged it off. Whatever her and...... Weasel get up to was none of his business. He shuddered. Suddenly, Hermione jumped up, scaring the shit out of Draco in doing so.

"Hogsmeade visit!" She squealed and ran up stairs.

Draco sat there stunned. Then it registered and he laughed. He waited for her to come back downstairs.

About half an hour later, he started get impatient.

"Hermione!" He jogged up the stairs and knocked on her door. "Hurry up!" He heard her muffled laugh.

"Just wait a minute, Draco!" Draco had made her call him by his name, since they had put thier differences behind them.

And then she came out. And Draco was bowled over. She had put her hair in a high ponytail, and had a purple top on with lace sleeves and a sweetheart neckline, which showed off her cleavage. She had a pair of dark purple jeans on, with tiger stripes on them. She had a little lipgloss, and smelled like wildflowers.

Hermione giggled. She reached up and closed Draco's mouth which was, unknown to him, hanging open. He blushed.

"Lets go" He grumbled, embarrased.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They had just gotten to Hogsmeade when Hermione saw Harry. He came bounding up to her and hugged her.

"I havent seen you for ages!" He exclaimed. He then realized Draco was there, and he narrowed his eyes.

"What is he doing here?" He demanded. Hermione winced.

"Uh, me and Draco have kinda made amends Harry". Harry stared at her like she had just professed her undying love for Snape. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to the side.

"Are you NUTS!? He could take you to Voldemort anytime!" Hermione shrugged him off and glared.

"He told me himself he doesnt want to be nor isnt a Death Eater! He has been disowned by his father, and first and foremost my friend now. So just leave him alone, ok?" And she walked off, Draco following. Harry's eyes narrowed. Little did the three know, Ron was nearby and heard the whole thing.

"Just wait, Hermione. Dont think you will get away with this" He snarled.

Hermione led Draco into The Three Broomsticks to get a butterbeer.

"I guess that should be expected of Harry" Hermione looked at Draco apologetically. Draco shook his head.

"I dont care about Scarhead. He doesnt bother me" Hermione glared.

"He may not be your friend but he is mine, so.. you mind?" Draco held up his hands.

"Step back. Dont want to offend you" Hermione smiled.

They sat down with thier drinks and looked around. There were all sorts of witches and wizards in the pub. There was a little witch sitting with a big burly looking man, drinking Firewhisky. She looked ready to drop off her stool. Draco and Hermione had a good laugh at that.

"Hey! I have an idea. Lets have a drinking competition!" Hermione looked at Draco, challengingly. He raised his eyebrows.

"I never thought I would see the day when Hermione Granger tried to drink me under the table" She smirked.

"Then obviously you dont know Hermione Granger". She walked off towards the bar, motioning him to come with her.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Half an hour later, Hermione was sitting at the bar, very drunk, but still wanting to beat Draco, who surprisingly enough, could hold his liquer very well.

"Give up yet, Granger?" He smirked. Hermione glared.

"One more" She hiccupped.

"Suit yourself. One more round of Firewhisky please" The bartender eyed Hermione, who was about to fall off her stool.

"Hasnt she had enough?" He asked Draco. Draco shook his head.

"One more and I win" He poked his tongue out at Hermione. She looked shocked.

"You will not! I am going to beat you, Mr I-....umm....shut up!" Draco chuckled.

The bartender served them, and Hermione took a swig of her drink and promptly fell off her stool. Draco was at her side in an instant. The bartender looked smug.

"Oh get lost" He sneered, and carried Hermione out of the pub.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

He got to the portrait of the common room when Hermione came to in his arms.

"Wha...what happened" She asked, dazed. He smiled.

"I won" He said simply. She giggled softly.

"Ok, ok. But dont tell me you arent drunk yourself". He looked at her.

"Obviously. But I hold it better than you do, Miss" He set her on the couch. She looked up at him with huge eyes.

"I want to tell you something" She whispered loudly. He laughed.

"What is it" He asked, in a mock-excited voice. But she looked so serious. He frowned.

"What Hermione? You can tell me." He sat down next to her. She smiled up at him, and wrapped her arms around his neck and dragged him down.

"You are soooo cute" She whispered, and kissed him on the lips.
