Ch5 Screwing Around
Hermione walked into the common room after a long day of classes only to find that Draco wasn't there.
"Dracooooo" she called out. No answer
She tried again, "Draco! Are you in here. 'Cause if you are then canyou bloody answer so I don't worry!"
Draco came bounding down the stairs at the sound of Hermione's voice.
"Hey Hermione. Sorry, I was dealing with some problems." He scoffed
"It's ok, but next time answer the first time or I'll scream my head off!" She laughed as Draco gave her a quick peck on the lips. 'Nothing to forward, I like it' she smiled at her thought.
She yawned, "Draco, I have a lot of homework, and I'm sorry I won't be able to hang around with you tonight."
"Mhhmm, I just have to figure out how to get Pasny's whiny ass out of my life." He replied writing something down on a piece of parchment.
"Ok, sure. Why don't you just talk to her?" She asked in a 'duh' tone.
"Talk? Talk to Pasny? Pasny Parkinson? Love, for someone so smart, your really bloody dense. You don't just tell Pansy Parkinson to leave. Even if you do, she sticks to you like a leech." He rambled on about Pasny.
"Well I didn't know, I don't really care about her that much, so I just assumed." She replied reading her essay for Potions over.
"Look, I really don't know how to get her away from me, so I'm gonna have to let her stick around. And...she's gonna wanna do things that I shouldn't do now that you're my girlfriend."
"Like what?" She asked with an eyebrow raised forming an idea on what I was.
"Um, sexual things...like 3rd base and so on." He blushed looking away.
"Not happening. I think I'm gonna pay dear old Pansy a visit today." She spat looking annoyed
"If you even attempt that 'Mione then I will assure you hell will break loose. And if she finds out, then my father will, and if my father finds out, well, lets just say I will not be in one piece after that." He replied cringing at the thought of his father.
"Well, old Lucius will just have to keep his temper, because nothing, and I mean nothing, will keep me from you, except of course a teacher," She quited down on the last part.
"A teacher? Wow, you've sunk real low 'Mione. If a teacher tried to keep me from you, especially the old fart Dumbledore, then I would definitely tell them off." He snapped looking at her annoyed.
"We haven't even been going out for a week and we're already having relationship problems."
"Problems? Dear, I think the word is disagreements." He said matter-of-factly
"Well, then I guess I can go screw Harry if sex is just a disagreement. I mean it will pass right?" She snapped sarcasticaly.
"Love, and again I correct you, I believe the term is shagging. And trust me, fucking Pansy isn't that great. Little slut doesn't know anything..." He trailed off muttering about Pasny.
Hermione turned pale at the thought of Draco doing another woman. "Well, honey, I think that you should talk with Pansy. Give it a try, you never know, she might feel the same way."
"Psshhh, yea right. Like Pansy will ever take her fangs out of my skin. Do you not know who I am? I am Draco Malfoy, the so called Slytherin Sex God. Like she'll ever let go." He said arrogantly.
"Whatever, I'm not in the mood to discuss sex right now. When the topic arises later, then maybe I'll think about it" She snapped and smirked at Draco. 'This should tick that nerve'
"Sex? That topic doesn't get discussed with me. It gets done with me." He stated. Then he looked at Hermione and she had hurt in her eyes.
"I would never pressure you to do something you don't want to. But love, it's gonna happen sooner or later. Might as well talk about it." He answered with true remorse.
He got up and went over to her. He took her head and liftedit up. She put her arms around his neck, and he put his arms at the small of her back. He leaned down and kissed the top of her forehead. She smiled. She liked how Draco was being so gentle and slow with her, knowing that he would do her right then and there.
"I would love to continue this Draco, but I have to get back to my homework." She smiled and sat back down in her chair.
"Ah, yes, homework. You never change do you?" He asked smirking.
"Not like you'll ever stop strutting around like a prince."
"I am a prince. I can't flaunt it?" He stated smirking.
"Yes, but you're my prince. You can't flaunt it any longer now that I'm around"
"O yes love, I forgot." He groaned at the thought of being conservative.
"But you can flaunt it all you want in here, I'll take a free show." She said, knowing she was teasing him.
His eyes bulged. "Really dear? Because a moment ago I thought you didn't want me to have any sexual intercourse, as you call it." He smirked knowing she wasn't talking about that.
"Eeeww, Draco. I didn't mean that. Oh, eew! You are such a perv. Let's drop this now!"
"Ok, whatever you want love, but it doesn't stop me from thinking it." He laughed and went into deep thought.
Hermione cringed, and went back to homework.

Hermione awoke early the next morning with a huge grin plastered across her face. She looked to her left and saw the sun poking through the closed shades. 'It's a beautiful day' she thought. She got up and went into the bathroom.
15 minutes later she came out with a white towel wrapped around her and a pink towel around her head. She opened up her closet and looked inside. 'What to wear?' She tried on a pink spaghetti strap shir with sequins at the bottom. ' Too glittery' Next she tried on an apple green jacket that stopped midway between her chest and waist. Under it she had a brown shirt that was long and hugged her curves. She decided on some light colored hip-hugger jeans, and brown shoes with a thick heel. She magically straightened her hair and applied some light make up. A light blush and brown mascara. 'Nice' she thought.
She stepped out into the common room and saw Draco lounging in his pajama's. She walked by and put a little more swing in her hips. She went into the kitchen and took an apple from the table. She went back in the common room, picked up the Daily Prophet and sat down.
Draco looked up and saw Hermione walk into the kitchen. 'She looks beautiful'. He thought, a smile playing across his lips.
When she sat down, Draco spoke. "Umm, Hermione, you look w-w-w-onderful." He stuttered looking her up and down.
"Why thank you Mr. Malfoy." She smirked knowing he would like this outfit. "And your not so bad yourself, in all you'r half-naked glory" She laughed and dropped her apple.
Draco was in nothing but boxers. He looked down and smirked, "I would like to see you like this more often."
She stopped laughing and turned pale. "W-what?" She managed to get out.
"Oh, I'm sorry 'Mione, I forgot your not comfortable with these kinds of conversations. You should get used to it though, I make remarks like that all the time. Hence the word all." He stated matter-of-factly.
"I'm sorry, I've just never had a real boyfriend. I'm not used to it. I mean Harry and Ron joke like that all the time, but it's never really towards me." She whispered looking down at her feet.
"Well, I've never had a real girlfriend, so we're even. But I am used to the crude remarks. We Slytherins joke like that." He smirked.
"I'm sorry. I should go." She blushed as she darted out of the common room and through the portrait hole.
"Dammit, I scared her off again." He whispered to himself.

Hermione was on her way to the Great Hall. She walked by the Gryffindor Tower without even a backwards glance. She kept walking until she heard her name being called.
" 'Mione, wait up!"Harry said, panting behind her.
She stopped. "What is it Harry?" She smiled looking at Harry panting with his hands on his knees.
"Nothing, can I walk with you. It's been a while since we've talked." He managed to get out in between breaths.
"Sure Harry. What did you want to talk about?" She asked sweetly.
"Umm...well...um nothing in particular..," He blushed madly, "Let's just talk."
"Um, OK. How is homework going without me being around to help?" She stated laughing.
"Oh great 'Mione. You know us, me and Ron just love homework." He groaned.
"Oh, well that's good Harry." She replied
"Hermione, I was meaning to tell you something."
"Sure Harry. Shoot." She said making a gun with her hand and laughing.
"Seriously 'Mione, I need to talk to you."
She stopped laughing and put on a serious face.
"Go ahead Harry" she said softly.
"Ummm, I really don't know how to say this, but...I sort of fancy you."
Hermione stood there, shocked.
"F-f-f-fancy me Harry?" She squeaked.
"I knew it, you don't like me do you?"
"Well, I do, it's just that, I don't like you like that. I love you more as a brother. I mean, I couldn't imagine loving you like...sexually." She cringed at the thought.
"I knew it," he snapped, "It's ok 'Mione." He said softer this time. Then he asked softly, almost whispering, "But why?"
"Because, well, because, I just can't tell you Harry." She ran off crying towards the girl's bathroom.
Harry looked heartbroken and kept walking.

Hermione was in one of the stalls crying. Then she heard someone come in.
"Who's here?" The voice asked.
"Hermione," she said softly.
She walked out, and to her surprise, it was Ginny.
Ginny ran up to Hermione and hugged her.
"What's wrong 'Mione? You can tell me." She said concerned as she stroked Hermione's back.
"Ginny, you have to promise not to tell a soul. Promise?"
"Of course 'Mione, I promise."
"HarrytoldmehefanciedmeandIdon'tlikehimlikethat,andnowhe'sheartborken,andI'dontknowhattodo." She babbled sobbing into her hands.
"What? Hermione slow down please."
"Harry fancies me."She stopped and looked up.
"Ginny, please don't be mad. I know you like him, I don't though, so you still have a chance" She sobbed and looked away.
"Well, 'Mione, you're not in the state to be yelled at," Ginny sighed
"Ginny, Harry told me today that he fancied me. I told him I don't. I just told him I love him as a brother. Nothing else. He looked heartbroken." She kept on sobbing.
"Oh Hermione. It's gonna be okay, just stop crying and we'll figure this out." She said with true concern
"What do I do Ginny, he looked heartbroken when I told him. Now he's gonna hate me and we'll never have the bond we had." She rambled on sobbing and shaking.
"Don't worry 'Mione, Harry will come around. He just has to get used to the idea that you have other interests." She whispered softly.
'I highly doubt that, but I can't let her know' Ginny thought about what Harry would do.
'He has to control his temper.'
"Ginny, promise me you won't tell?"
"I promise."
