Innocent Desire

Chapter 13: Pureblood Predicaments

Hermione woke up feeling dizzy and dazed on a strange bed. The only thing that

looked familiar was Draco who came up and kissed her on the forehead.

"Good Afternoon, Miss Faint-and-leave-me-to-drag-you-to-bed. Have a nice black out?" he said as she sat up and smirked at him.

"Why yes, oh noble hero, how shall I ever repay you for your noble rescue?" she said in a

melodramatic damsel-in-distress voice.

"Well I don't know, maybe you could give me a kiss?" Draco said. " We've never actually

kissed for the pleasure of both of us."

"Well, since you asked so nicely, ok." She said as she leaned in and kissed Draco softly on

the lips, slowly deepening it till they were both laying back on the bed, their lips pressed in a

deep kiss. Finally Draco broke away. "You know, we never did eat lunch. You hungry?" he

said, raising his eyebrows.

"Actually, I am. I think I'll take some...hey. I know what your thinking and you can forget

it. I don't know you that well." She said quickly at his suggestive look and raised eyebrows.

"Come on. You know you wanna." He whispered in her ear huskily.

"That's not the point... I mean, no I don't and besides I wouldn't do that till after

marriage."

"So your saying that after we get married you will."

"Who said we were getting married? You're my bodyguard."

"Uhhh. Earth to Hermione, your parents said so. We get married this summer, remember."

"Oh... yeah. Now I remember." She said slowly

"Watsa matter? We'll be the envy of everyone in Hogwarts. The Slytherin King and the

Gryffindor Queen. We were meant for each other."

"Slytherin King and Gryffindor Queen? OK?"

"Would you rather it be the Slytherin Sex God and the Gryffindor Sex Kitten?"he said

hopefully.

"Oh yes, please." She said sarcastically.

"Ok. If you insist."

He then kissed her on the lips and they dueling over who would be on top till they toppled

off the bed. They laughed and kissed and romped and played around till there came a rap upon

the door.

Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were really worried. They hadn't seen or heard from

Hermione in two days. Also they hadn't encountered their enemy either. What in the wizarding

world was going on?

They had tried asking the professors where they were, but none seemed to know. The only thing

they could guess was they were on "Head duty." They still thought Malfoy was up to something,

but didn't point any fingers if asked about it. They were really getting worried and decided to go

to Dumbledore about it. They headed toward Dumbledore's office after lunch, but found that he

was gone. They asked McGonagall where he was in Transfiguration, but all she would say was

"He's away on business."

Harry and Ron weren't the only ones who were worried. Neville had been extra forgetful

since Hermione had disappeared. He had gotten twice the points taken away in Potions and he

had been locked out of the Gryffindor tower two times already. He was late to class and he had

picked up the habit of pacing the common room waiting for any word about Hermione, but none

came. Where was she? Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pansy Parkinson was depressed. She had not seen her "Drakie-Wakie" in two days and

she was desperate. She had starting flirting (and sleeping) with the other Slytherin boys but it just

wasn't the same. Blaise wasn't the same either. He had been moping around for the past two

days and got angry anytime anyone came up to talk to him. He was late to classes and was

getting in fights over little things like someone accidentilly bumping into him in the hallway. The

only person he would talk to was Pansy. She seemed like the only one that knew what he was

going through. Everytime he thought of Hermione and Draco gone together he would fly into a

rage and trash his room. Things couldn't get any worse. Or could they?

"Come in." Hermione said as Draco and herself got off the floor and smoothed their

clothes out from rolling on the floor.

Albus Dumbledore entered through the oak doors, a smile spread across his aging face,

eyes twinkling merrily at the two of them. "I am sorry if I interupted anything, but I am here to

collect you for the trip back to Hogwarts." He said, beaming.

"Of course. Uhh... lets get packed, Hermione." Draco said. They quickly got their things

together and dragged them to the elevator. From there, they said goodbye to Hermione's

parents and Aunt Ista, and hopped into a black and red carriage with Dumbledore.

About an hour into the trip, Dumbledore had fallen asleep, his hat over his face. and the

faint sound of snoring coming from underneath. Draco took this as his opportunity to speak.

"Hey Hermione. I was wondering, if your not seeing anyone, would you like to go out with

me?"

"I...Of course I will. I mean I love being around you. You know what? I will go out with

you and we can go on the next Hogsmeade trip together. What do you say about that?"

"It's a date. So what do you say we announce this thing first thing tommorrow?"

"Tommorrow? We get back today."

"Yeah, but by the time we get there. We won't have time to. It'll be time to go to bed."

"Oh. Ok. So first thing tommorrow. And you have to sit at my table. Deal?"

"What! Why your table? I'm the one who asked you out and your bodyguard. I insure you

no harm will come to you at my table."

"Are you so sure? Blaise wants to rape me and Pansy wants to kill me. Do you consider

that safe?"

"Well no. But if I go to your table, Potter and Weasley will tromp me like a pack of

rhinos."

"Hey, your on a real name basis now, are you? Not Potty and Weasel anymore?" she said

laughing

"No. I think I'm too mature for that anymore. Besides, I have to tolerate them now. Since

you're my girlfriend and all."

"Well that's very grown-up of you, Draco. Now where are we going to sit?"

"I believe that there is a space at the end of the staff table that you two will be able to

occupy for the time being." Dumbledore said as he lifted his hat and rearranged his half-moon

spectacles onto the bridge of his nose.

"Professor." They both said.

"You didn't hear what we were talking about, did you?" Hermione said.

"No. No, of course not. I didn't hear a word." Dumbledore said, winking at them.

They left it at that and soon Draco and Hermione were asleep, his arms wrapped around

her possessively and a cool breeze making their hair wild in the wind. The stars above twinkled

as they soared through the skies, dreaming of things to come and events of the past.
