Chapter 8: Spending time with Draco Malfoy

8. Hermione

The days that we spent together doing the potion passed quicker than I had expected to. I never thought that I could have fun with my enemy. Never. He was Draco Malfoy! For the fist time I laughed at his jokes and spoke with him freely. I was starting to see through his façade, I was starting to know the REAL Draco Malfoy, the one no one knew, and I was happy for it.

When Snape gave out the marks I was shocked. Draco outstanding, and me acceptable? Impossible. I tried to argue but Snape never listens to Gryffindors, only Slytherins. Then, when Draco argued and he listened to him. He was a Slytherin after all, and the one he preferred. I couldn't believe Draco Malfoy was defending me, a mudblood. But he did it and he achieved what he wanted. We both had the same mark. I turned to smile at him but he looked like he was angry. I went to our common room.

I thanked him, and with a lot of effort I hugged him. He looked furious and I didn't know why but I thought it was better not to mess up with him. I was writing the transfiguration essay and I ran out of parchments so I asked Draco if he had some left. Then he answered me:"NO! And don't bother me again, understand, stupid mudblood-"I couldn't believe it. One moment he wanted me to kiss him and now he was insulting me. I was furious and I started to walk away from him and as a result, he stunned me. How could he get that far? Insulting is one thing but… was he going to force me? Beat me?

At the end it was none of this things. He just needed someone who listened to him. After telling me he was angry with Snape, he told me what unconsciously I had wanted to hear him confess.

He was not like his father

He didn't care if you had magic or non-magic parents

He didn't want to marry Pansy Parkinson

He didn't like to be a Malfoy (except for the money and the looks, so typical Draco)

He could not have been sort in Slytherin

That was my Draco! 'Since when he is mine?' I asked myself. 'Stop thinking about Draco, Hermione. Stop or you'll loose control' wait. Then why did he call me mudblood? I asked him.

"Tradition. I like teasing you" he said truthfully and grinned. I laughed and punched his arm friendly.

>>>>>>Great hall

I woke up at my study desk that was all full of spread parchments and books. What was I doing there? Oh I remembered… Draco, then studying… I must have fallen asleep.

"Morning, Hermione" Ron greeted me.

"Hello Hermione" Harry said.

"Hi Harry, Ron, Ginny" I answered happily as I sat down between Ron and his sister.

"What's up, Hermione? I haven't seen you during the last two weeks! What have you been doing?" Ron said trying to hide his blush.

"Oh that! I had to finish that project of potions with Dr-Malfoy and study for the NEWT's! Have you been studying? I have been studying day and night and I hope you also have because you know that next exam is in one week time…"

"Stop, stop, stop Hermione, please. You'll make me loose my appetite" Harry said before he started a conversation with Ron about their next Quidditch match. Can't boys talk about something else? Always talking about the next match's strategy.

>>>>>>>>>>>

"Well we can talk about the Quidditch English league if you prefer" Draco smirked and she rolled her eyes.

>>>>>>>>>>

"mmm, what?" Ginny asked turning round from looking to the other side of the room "have you seen Malfoy today? He's soooooo hot! Look at his golden hair, his strong body… please don't tell me he's not hot" she said as she looked back to the Slytherin table "look, now he's looking in this direction! I hope he's looking at me!" she said this and started to pull her hair back and flashed him a sexy smile. I knew who he was looking at. Me. I turned my head towards the other end of the room and our eyes locked and he smiled at me. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I turned away, not wanting to loose control.

"What are you doing Gin? He's a Slytherin, he's Malfoy, for god's sake!"

"Can't I have a bit of fun, Hermione? And don't tell me he isn't hot" she repeated.

"Well, he's not bad to look at after all…" I realised and my friend rolled her eyes.

"Mrs. Granger?" my head of house was looking at me seriously "please come to my office after breakfast, thank you"

>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Yes, now I'm sure you are going to be made Headmistress, mother" Beverly said proudly. Her father laughed.

"You'll have to wait a lot until you see your mother as Headmistress of Hogwarts"

"Maybe not" Hermione said smiling

"We'll see"

8.Draco

We were walking towards McGonagall's office in silence. It was a dark day at the start of November and there wasn't much light in the corridor we were walking through.

"d'you know what she is going to tell us, Hermione?" I asked, not knowing to say to break the silence.

"No" she said "do you think I spend less time than before with Harry and Ron?" she asked worriedly.

"Yes" I grinned.

"What? Then it's true? I spend less time with them? Where do I spend my time then? Studying maybe?" my grin turned to smirk. I knew the answer.

"No, not studying. You spend more time with ME, Draco Malfoy. I knew you would fall in the temptation. No one can resist me" I said still smirking as I passed an arm around her shoulder and brought her closer to me. I loved playing with girls. But, the question was, was I really playing with Hermione or was this more serious? I knew the answer, but I didn't want to recognise it.

"Draco stop!" she hissed and blushed, but didn't take my arm from her shoulder. "We're here" she knocked on the door and we went in. As soon as McGonagall saw us together, with my arm round her shoulder, in her face there was a look of confusion. I quickly took my arm from Hermione's shoulder and she recovered her form.

"What did you want, Professor?" she asked politely.

"Emm…I wanted to tell you that the 15th of December there will be a Christmas ball where students from fourth year and above will be able to attend. It is you duty as Head Boy and Girl to organise it. Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for your first plan in two weeks time. Thank you to both. Dismissed" she got up and went to the nearest bookcase and turned around as we left.

"What are we going to do?" Hermione asked as she putted her hand on her chin and thought. Wow, how nice she was in that position, so know-it-all Hermione. I smiled but realised that she was looking at me waiting for an answer.

"I don't now! We'll talk about it later, OK?"

"When? After lunch time?" was she always like this?

"Oh OK Hermione but let me go to class alone, okay?" I was now fed up. She left out a 'humph' and went away. I spent the next class sending glances at her (not knowing why) and she was returning some of them. I wanted the class to end so desperately to meet her, and it finally ended.

"Carpe diem" I said and I enteredour common room. She was scribbling quickly in a piece of parchment and didn't see me enter. I went slowly round her back and…

"BUUUUUUU!" I scared her. She jumped and left out a sigh.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Draco, that was sooooooooo childish!" Hermione said nostalgically.

"I know, but it was the only thing I thought" he looked at his daughter "do you think it was a good idea, my flower?" she didn't answer and he looked for her. "where are you, Bev?" he was looking for her everywhere "Beverly Narcissa Malfoy?" he asked again.

"BUUUUUUUU!" a childish voice said from behind Draco. He jumped a bit but then smiled.

"That's my daughter!" he said as he brushed her blond hair.

>>>>>>>>>>>

"Draco, you scared me!" Hermione was giggling. She lifted her arm to smack mine playfully, but I got it before it hit me and I pulled her closer to me. She stopped giggling suddenly. I wasn't thinking, just acting. I looked at her deep chocolate eyes. I couldn't stop myself now and she wasn't making me stop either. I smirked and leaned closer to her. Our lips crashed and I felt electricity that I had never felt kissing any other girl run through me. She was opening her mouth to let my tongue in but suddenly…

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

Who the hell was knocking at the door at this specific moment? As she realised what she had done her hands went to her mouth.

"You see? You have fallen for-" knock, knock. I rolled my eyes and saw her put herself together and go towards the door.

"Harry?" Hermione asked surprised.

"Hi Hermione…what's going on?" she putted a confused look on her face "never mind. We're going to go to Quidditch practice. Wanna come?"

"Well I…" what did he expect? A girl, Quidditch?

"No sorry, she's staying with me, Head duties" I smirked, my famous Malfoy smirk.

"But…" he started

"I'm sorry Harry" she explained. I win, Harry Potter.

"You see? You spend less time with us and with more Draco Malfoy! How could you, Hermione? I thought we were friends, but I see you don't want to be my friend anymore! That you prefer HIM!" he yelled as he got out of the room furiously.

"You see, you can't resist me!" I was still smirking.

"Can't you see, Draco? I've just lost one of my best friends and you are making arrogant comments. Stop it okay? I need to think a bit" she said while she walked away towards the stairs of her room.

"What you need now is to relax and stop blaming you about what just happened. Come on, come here and we'll start the thing about the ball, okay?" I tried to calm her down. The features of her face softened and she came near me.

"You're right, Draco. Lets start" Hermione smiled at me as we both sat down in the couch. "Where shall we start? The theme maybe?" she got up and went to her desk to get parchments and quills to write it all down

"mmm…something that has not been done before, something special. Medieval theme?" I asked and she agreed.

"Now… the food, decorations and all of this things" she said as she wrote down and stuck her tongue out in concentration. How nice she looked like that… so Hermione… foucs Draco, focus

"We could arrange a meeting and distribute all this tasks to the prefects of the other houses"

"Hmm… ok" and her hair as it fell on her face in a way only she could manage and make it so perfect… I couldn't stop it. I was burning with desire. I looked into her deep brown eyes. We stayed like this for moments, both of us enjoying it and not wanting it to end.

"Draco…I…" she started, but I silenced her with my finger and muttered a 'shhhh' our eyes still locked together. I circled her with my arms and rested my forehead against hers as I passed my hands through her frizzy hair. She didn't object at all because then, she brought her small hands to my cheek and started to caress it. Then, I felt her stop and fall against me.

"Hermione? What are you doing? You told me to stop before and now you're falling on top of me. What do you want?" I waited for some moments to receive her answer but I only felt her breath on my neck and I saw her eyes closed. I snorted. She was asleep.

A/N: hehe I loved this last bit, when she fell asleep. Here you have this chapter all full of romance. Loved it? Hated it? Review!
