Disclaimer time - I am not J.K. Rowling, nor do I own the characters in her Harry Potter series. I'm just borrowing them for a little chaos & dissolute fun & I promise to return them in an only somewhat disheveled state. So here is the new chapter . . . enjoy & of course please review . . .what can I say, I'm addicted to reviews.
Hermione blanched, "Ok, Malfoy what are you talking about?"
"What's the matter, Granger? Aren't you exciting about spending time with me . . . alone?" He challenged her in a silky voice, his eyebrow arching in mock horror. "It wasn't easy to arrange this, you know. So you could at least pretend to be grateful," he continued as he walked over to her.
She glared at him for a moment before grabbing her bag.
"And just where do you think you're going, hmmm?"
"I'm not going to play this game, Malfoy. So whatever you're up to, you can just forget it." Hermione stood up and turned to walk out, only to be confronted by the sight of Draco's chest. Tilting her head back to stare up into his amused eyes, she once again cursed the fact that she was only 5'4 to his far more imposing 6'2.
Fighting the impulse to laugh, I stare down at her. She is just so adorable, when she gets that look on face, like she wants to kill me. "Oh, you're definitely going to play this game with me, Hermione. And I promise that this is just the first of many." Despite myself, I couldn't resist leaning down to whisper in her ear, "You know that you want to, so just relax and enjoy it." I felt her body stiffen as I placed my hands on her shoulders and pulled her in close, only to push her back and down into her chair. Her mouth just fell open, I'd love know what was going through her head.
I think I'm in shock! That`s the only logical explanation. For a minute, I thought Draco Malfoy was going to kiss me and I actually wanted him to. What the fuck is wrong with me?!?! I'm going to kill him, that's it. I'll kill him and everything will back to normal. Well, ok I won't kill, that would just be a sinful waste, I'll just maim him a little bit. Maybe turn into a ferret again, that's better. I'll turn Malfoy into a ferret and all will be good in my world again. What the hell is he up to? He is just sitting on the edge of my desk staring at me, with that sexy come hither smile . . . SEXY?!?!? COME HITHER SMILE!?!?! "Oh fuck, I am not thinking this!"
And here's my opportunity. "Thinking what Granger? Tell the whole class, why don't you?"
"What? What are you talking about?" Hermione babbled as she tried to focus on what he was saying instead of those . . . yummy - no BAD, those BAD ideas that were suddenly popping into her head.
Sighing Draco patiently explained with a smile, "you said and I quote `oh fuck, I am no thinking this' and I want to know what you were thinking."
"Thinking, I wasn't thinking anything. Really, I swear. Wow, you've been working out, haven't you?" She mumbled distractedly, before audible gasping and suddenly clapping a hand over her mouth. "I didn't say that, did I? Tell me I didn't say that!!!"
Laughing at her aghast expression and taking a breath to compose myself, I try to keep a straight face, "Sorry to break it to you, Hermione, but yes you did. And to answer you a question, yes, I usually work out. Why, do you like what you see?" he asked with an overly exaggerated leer.
"Ok chill out Hermione, just chill out, close your eyes and when you open them up, everything will be ok," she said under her breath as she proceeded to close her eyes. When she opened them several seconds later, Draco was leaning in resting his chin on his upright fist, staring at her in fascination.
"So tell me, Granger, is `everything ok' now?" He started laughing, "because I must admit, I must have been missed this lecture in DADA."
She looks so cute when she gets all confused, so in a rare moment of charity, I decide to let her off the hook, for now, anyway. Sitting up on the desk again, I reach into my bag to pull out the raspberry croissants that I had lifted earlier for her and tossed them to her.
"What's this?" Hermione poked a finger suspiciously at the package as if she was afraid it was going to bite.
"Breakfast, Hermione, just eat it."
"But it's almost dinnertime," she protested.
"Yeah, as if you're actually going to eat dinner. Look I got you a few of those raspberry croissants you like so much, so you're going to eat them, since I know for a fact you haven't eaten anything all day long," he ended adamantly, as he stared at her with narrowed eyes.
"Hhhmmm, you haven't poisoned them, have you?"
"And if I had, do you really think I'd tell you?" he asked dryly, arching an eyebrow. "Good point," she conceded and after giving him a searching look, she unwrapped the package, "fine, but only because they're the raspberry croissants."
"Whatever." He watched as she began to eat. "Just so you know, I told Snape that I wanted some extra tutoring in Potions, so you're dentation assignment is to help me."
"What? That's ridiculous, you're the second best student in the class, right behind me."
"True, and Snape knows that, but I told him I wanted to get some extra work done on studying for the O.W.L.'s and he agreed that you should help me, so . . ."
"You want me to help you study potions?" she asked disbelievingly.
"No, Granger," Draco sighed as he began to speak in an exaggeratedly slow voice, "that's just what I told Snape. You know for someone so smart, you can be incredible dense at times."
"Well, what do think we're going to do all week long then?" she asked in an obviously puzzled voice.
Draco's only response was a lazy slow smile.
Her mouth opened for a second, before blurting out, "Oh no, there will be none of . . . that happening. No."
"You think?"
The door suddenly opening startled both of them as they turned to see Professor McGonagall, walking into the room. "Miss Granger, I know you have detention right now, but Professor Dumbledore needs to speak to you, before dinner."
"Ok, Professor McGonagall, let me get my bag," Hermione stuttered as Draco casually slid off the desk.
"Miss Granger was Mr Malfoy bothering you?" Professor McGonagall asked, casting the Slytherin a withering glance.
"Ummm, no Professor, he was just asking me a question."
"Hmmm, well all right in that case. Mr Malfoy, if you have nothing better to do, perhaps you should go to your common room. Come along, Miss Granger," with that she turned on her hell and began walking out of the room.
Hermione swung her bag on her shoulder as she began walking out of the room, and turning back to give Draco an apologetic look, before following Professor McGonagall down the hall.
"Damn, foiled again," Draco, cursed under his breath as he gathered his own bad & exited the room.
Wow, some people are getting impatient, wanting to know what's the announcement & what happened to Harry & Ron, but never fear, the next chapter will shed some light on these & other questions.
Ok, I promised to mention all of you wonderful people who have been reading & reviewing me. . . .

So thank you all so very much . . . & please continue to read & review me ;)
