Hermione wandered around the campsite aimlessly for an hour or two. She couldn't settle and eventually Malfoy lost his patience with her.

" What are you doing granger? Can't Mudbloods ever sit still?"

Hermione turned her dark eyes on him quickly. " Don't call me that Malfoy, I hate it!"

" ohh , yes, then I'll stop straight away, as it annoys you so! You wish mudblood!" he said with a sneer in her direction.

" oh Malfoy, why do you annoy me so?"

" isn't it obvious Granger? Your hopelessly besotted" he laughed proudly.

" oh you wish!"

" not particularly, one needs to be desirable to be desired! And that's a subject you most definitely fail!"

" oh, well thanks!" she walked briskly off. Toward the darkening path leading into the forest. She didn't know how her and Malfoy got into such fights, but did he have to be so horrible to her? She knew she was not a Claudia Schiffer but for him to blatantly point it out, was really insulting. She felt tears start to swell in her eyes but she hastily brushed them back, she would never cry over something Malfoy said. Her stomach felt like a pit of anxious snakes and she took a few deep breaths to calm them. Her stride lengthened as she walked deeper into the woods and gradually she started to feel better. What Malfoy said, didn't matter to her, he was nothing, and what he said was nothing too. When she had repeated this numerous times she turned and wandered slowly back towards Malfoy.

When she returned to the campsite she saw Malfoy pacing hurriedly. " Where did u go?"

" oh I bet you got upset or something stupid. Girls are so sensitive, especially nerdy ones like yourself?"

" oh really Malfoy? Ones like myself you say? I wasn't aware having more than 2 brain cells classified me as a nerd"

" hmm well you are slightly outside my little group I've noticed. Expected of course, for one such as yourself. I did forget to ask, how rude of me. How's your little group going? Anything interesting happen lately between you and the books? I heard a page was ripped recently, quite the scandal eh?

" Malfoy, I do have friends? How could you possibly forget Pothead and Weasel" she raised her eyebrows at him jokingly, her heart wasn't really in this fight.

" oh no, I was counting them, they are just about as interesting as books!"

" oh and what, your friends are better? They all just follow you around like the damn ice-cream man or something. How can you call them friends?"

" whatever Granger, I'm liked? And that's the simply fact. People want to be my friend."

" yes yes. Pansy counts for the whole of 5th year,your quite right. Anyway, Pansy's your girlfriend. She doesn't want to be your friend, she wants to be your lover Malfoy?"

" And who's to say she's not already?" he said with a questioning look on his face, amusement mounting in his blue eyes that Hermione could not see.

She flushed bright pink, unwillingly imagining Malfoy with Pansy. The snakes started again in her stomach and she pushed down the slightly sick feeling amounting in her throat. " oh well, um yes, of course you guys do, stupi.."

Then to complete her stuttering surprise she presently tripped over a loose log and fell onto his bed.

He laughed loudly, the air bed moving everywhere with his weight tumbling around. Hermione tried to stand up but with the moving bed it was difficult.

" Honestly Granger, seriously you crack me up, always. hehe tripping and stuff!"

" shutup, so I'm unco! I make up for it in my school work, I could curse you right here and now!"

" oh no you couldn't!" he said lunging for her wand, she threw her chest back and fell roughly on his mattress. He landed on her roughly and she gasped what she hoped was softly. His stomach was hard against her soft one, and his legs instantly intwined with hers. She could also feel a bulge down near her hips which she was trying really really hard to ignore.

" Me Malfoy, you're the unco one, always falling on me!"

She wriggled beneath him, but his dead weight kept her pinned.

" so still gonna curse me Granger? Hmm I don't think so!" He smiled at her, his gleaming white teeth annoyingly straight and perfect.

" I would if you'd get off me, you, you,.." " sexy, love beast? Say it and I'll leave"

" alright, you stupid,fuckin-"

" mean it Granger, or we'll be here all night"

She took a breath, closed her eyes, and slowly opened them again, lazily staring into his,

He watched as she swallowed a lump in her throat, much to his pleasure, she was uncomfortable staring into his eyes, the depth in them scaring her.

She reached up and gently touched his cheek, the warmth in her fingers spreading instantly to him. Her finger lowered and softly moved across his slightly parted lips,

" Would you? Please get off me, you sexy love beast?" she purred, her finger seductively crossing his lips again and again.

He grabbed her wrists suddenly and held them tight.

" Are you acting Hermione or-?"

" of course I am Malfo-" she said wriggling and not meeting his eye.

" really?" he said forcing her to look at him.

She swallowed again, " No Malfoy, okay, it wasn't?" she said quietly, before rolling out from beneath him.
