Love me. Chapter 5. Kiss
A/N: Hey guys, sorry I took a while to update but I've had a lot of schoolwork recently, and I've also been working on a new story but that wont be up for a while. I hope you all had a very happy new year and a great Christmas.
Lots of love

"Bellezza eterna"
The portrait swung open with a creek and Hermione quietly walked down the passageway. As she entered the room, she noticed the fire was still ablaze
"Hey"
"Hi, you're up late" came the reply
"So are you" she retorted jokingly
"Well at least I have a reason"
"Oh, and what would that reason be?" she mocked
"I've been waiting for you"
"Really?"
"No"
She laughed as she flopped down next to him on the smooth couch. She glanced at the clock 1am, no wonder she was so tired. Yawning, she placed her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes
"Advancing a bit now aren't we Granger?"
"Hmmmmmmmm" she wasn't listening. She breathed in his sweet smell, vanilla.
"Hey" she was jolted out of her daydream by a sudden movement "don't fall asleep on me! You have a bed for that!"
"Sorry, I'm just so tired" she said, almost hitting him and she stretched her arms
"So, you gonna head up to bed then?"
"Noooo" she said thoughtfully "I think I'll stay here with you"
She rested her head against his shoulder again. She jerkedslightly as Draco started to gently stroke her hair
"Any luck with Potter?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I guessed you were with him all this time"
"Oh, yes I was. Nothing happened much though, we just talked"
"What about?" he asked curiously
"Us, he gave me the whole 'I-know-I-dumped-you-but-I-still-want-us-to-be-friends' talk, nothing interesting"
"Hmmm, what did you say to that?"
"I said we could stay friends if that's what he wants"
"Did you mean it?"
"No! Don't be stupid, this guy broke my heart, I'm gonna get him back if it's the last thing I do"
"Poor you"
Hermione pulled herself up and leaned against the arm of the chair gazing at Draco. 'Why wasn't it working?' she thought to herself 'Harry should be super jealous if he thought I was dating his worst enemy, I mean look how he reacted when he found out we were friends' she closed her eyes and racked her brain for reasons, not finding any.
"OMG!!!! That's it!!!" she exclaimed suddenly, startling Draco
"What the…"
'Harry isn't jealous any more because he's calmed down and has accepted that we're friends. The way to really wind him up is to prove to him we're more than friends'
Draco was eyeing her curiously, clearly thinking she'd gone off her rocker
Hermione laughed at his bemused expression
"Draco" she said innocently "Do you like me?"
"What sort of a question is that? Of course I like y-"
But he never got to finish his sentence as Hermione had pounced on him, knocking him backward and pinning him to the sofa. She lowered her mouth to his
"Hermione, what are you doing?"
Instead of replying she just shoved her tongue down his throat. They rolled around on the sofa for a while. Draco, unsure of what to do, responded passionately to the kiss, rubbing his hands up and down Hermione's back. It was only when he felt her try and undo his trousers did he suddenly realise what he was doing
"GET OFF ME" he screamed, pushing her off of the sofa and onto the floor, she went down with a thud and whacked her head on the coffee table.
"Draco…" she pleaded
"YOU FREAK. WHAT IS UP WITH YOU?? STAY AWAY FROM ME"
"But, Draco… I can explain"
"NO NEED, I THINK I'VE ALLREADY GUESSED. YOU'RE USING ME HERMIONE, USING ME TO GET YOUR PRECIOUS POTTER BACK"
"No… I swear"
"IM NOT STUPID HERMIONE, I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING" his shouts echoed around the large room
He was fuming, his eyes looked like fire and his fist were clenched.
After a few minutes of silence, he seemed to have calmed down. His eyes had gone back to their normal grey and he had unclenched his fists"
"I did like you Hermione, but not any more. Goodnight"
He looked at her as if she was something messy stuck to his shoe before he turned and headed up to his bedroom
Hermione closed and re-opened her eyes. The room was blurry and had started to spin; in the distance she heard the slam of a door
"Draco…" she whispered
She looked around again; the room seemed to have lost its entire colour and was now spinning so severely it was making her dizzy. She closed and re-opened her eyes one last time before completely blanking out, her head bleeding badly
A/N: ok, so that was chapter 6. Once again, sorry for taking a while to update but like I said, school stuff etc got in the way.
Also I had a bit of writer's block so I wasn't entirely sure where this chapter was heading, but I hope you've enjoyed it
Please review, they mean a lot to me
Oh, and thank you to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday
