A/n- Yes, for those you read my other fic, this was updates first. Why? You ask. Because I can write this faster. Because I have better ideas for this fic. I apologize for that if you are angry, but that's the way it goes this week.
Note: Some of this chapter is in Hermione's "point of view", meaning that we can hear her thoughts for a small part and see one of her dreams. Read through the italics as it is changed from the first scene of the first chapter, not exactly the same but not very different. Just in her point of view.

Being a Toy
"Why'd you say no?" Draco asked her as they entered their common room through a hole in the wall guarded by a portrait, similar to the Gryffindor common room.
Hermione shrugged her shoulders. "I have nothing to say to him. Why do I want to hear what he has to say?" she said, rounding on him. Draco almost bumped into her as she stopped abruptly. He stepped back as he was very close to her.
"You said you still had feelings for him," he said and side stepped her, admiring the room. It was quite large and filled with comfy chairs and couches. There were desks and a table. There was also a chandelier which bathed the entire room in light. Draco nodded and smirked; it reminded him a bit of home.
"I don't know how I feel," she confessed as she sat on the couch and bit into an apple that had been sitting in a basket on the table. She smiled as she tasted the juice and Draco gave her a skeptical look. She laughed and he sat down next to her, leaning against the back of the couch and resting his feet on the low table.
Draco let his mind wander freely as he ate his weight in fruit with Hermione. She had lit the fireplace and they were both warm and sleepy. Draco was reminded of all the times he had hurt her. He didn't really care about Harry or Ron, but she was different.
Which brought him back to his earlier thoughts. Were they friends or not? Draco didn't understand his friendship with Hermione yet. He had never been just friends with any girl, except maybe Pansy. He remembered his life back on the train last year, his head on Pansy's lap. And then discovering Potter hiding on them. Prat.
Before long, both of them were asleep, drowning in their own thoughts and dreams.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Give it back Granger!" he roared angrily and tried to stand again, but his knees would not allow him.
"Don't be a prat Malfoy, you can't even stand!" she yelled and glanced around her surroundings.
"We're alone, take me in and get it over with," he said in a defeated voice and collapsed against the stone wall of the alley, breathing hard. Hermione hesitated, then took off her scarf and walked over to Malfoy, handing him the scarf.
"Wrap your arm in it, your bleeding." Malfoy did so very quickly, as the cut hurt a lot.
"Why are you helping me? You hate me, and I'm a death eater," he said. It was oh so true, but it was just in Hermione's nature to help people.
"I'm not leaving you here like this, you're a mess. You're coming with me to Headquarters," she said uneasily. She raised her wand and out flew a patronus form of an otter, which ran off out of the alley and out of sight. She gave a satisfied look and pulled a crate towards her and sat down upon it. She used her wand to start a fire. Its warm crackling flames brought warmth to Malfoy's body and hers and she instantly felt relief to the coldness.
"So tell me, tell me everything. How you got here, who did this to you, and where your precious master is," she said lightly. She laughed in her head at her thoughts and watched him struggle, debating what to do. Why was she even giving him a chance?
"You want the whole story?" he said and she nodded. He sighed and leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes and began to pour his heart out.
"I guess it all starts at Hogwarts and the choice I had, or could have had, I suppose. Dumbledore was sitting there, wandless and alone, while I was there, behind me my plan in full action. Now all I needed was to kill the man and run, right? Well I guess I almost lost my nerve, and I saw myself being a murderer and I knew I couldn't do it."
"And then they came in, bursting through those doors and I lost it. I couldn't kill anyone and I had made the biggest mistake of my life and I couldn't fix it. So then Snape came, and killed Dumbledore, and I knew everything was my bloody fault!" he said and stopped to breath hard, but then resumed his story almost immediately.
"We fled that night; Potter was in hot pursuit of Snape, because I think he was hidden under an invisibility cloak and saw everything on the tower. When we got into Hogmeade, we disapparated to…" he stopped, looking at Hermione suspiciously.
"Go on, we have longer to wait. Don't worry, I didn't turn you in." She had already sent for Lupin and Harry, they wouldn't be too long.
"We disapparated to the Dark Lord's Manor for a meeting. He wasn't very pleased and I think he was going to do me in. Anyways, the next morning Snape woke me up early and told me we were going. We left and didn't say goodbye to any other death eater, or tell then where we were going. And we've been on the run for 2 months now."
"What happened to Snape?"
"I'm not sure, one morning I woke up and he wasn't there, but I had to keep moving, so I left without him. And then…And then I met my father, and you would know he wasn't pleased. He beat the crap out of me and dumped me here, and now I'm Azkaban bait."
"No you aren't, don't be an idiot!"
"Don't you call me an idiot, you filthy little mudblood!"
She shook awake quickly. She was in her new common room, and she was- Oh my god she was lying next to Malfoy! She looked over and saw his face; he was sleeping. She couldn't help but think that he looked so innocent when he slept. Merlin, what was she thinking! This was Draco Malfoy she was thinking about. She shook those thoughts out of her head.
She thought back to the dream she had just had, about the first time she had seen Malfoy since last year, when she had rescued him. She still didn't know why she had rescued him; it was just in her nature. She tried to move around him but she ended up shaking him, and he snapped awake.
"Hermione," he asked groggily into the darkness.
"Yes, it's me," she answered back. She shook her hair out of her face and focused on Draco. His hair framed his head perfectly, his silver eyes soft to the touch. She wanted to run her hands through his baby fine hair and kiss those pale, sexy lips- Hermione! She screamed into her head. What the hell are you thinking? She sat down again and shook her head.
"Something wrong?" Draco asked her as he yawned. Hermione simply shook her head again and got up.
"It's late, I can't believe I fell asleep down here," she replied and got up, dragging herself closer to her room, which was up a set of stairs. Draco followed her and they climbed the stairs. At the top Draco went to the left and she went to the right. But Draco's voice cut through the silence.
"Was it weird sleeping next to me?" he asked her suddenly. She turned to look at him and noticed the glint in his eyes, maybe even a spot of pale blue. Was she imagining things? Draco Malfoy- no way. She was imagining things.
"Yeah," she said and looked away. "Yeah, it was." She walked into her room and leaned against the door. "But I wish it wasn't," she muttered to herself. She kicked her bed as she went by and fell into it, fully clothed.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Knock. Knock. Draco knocked on the door another two times before getting a response back.
"Bloody hell I'm taking a shower!" she yelled through the door to him. Draco smirked beside himself and opened the bathroom door anyways.
"Excellent," he said and he walked through the door.
"Oh my god, DRACO MALFOY DID YOU COME IN?" she screamed through the shower curtain and Draco chuckled.
"Yes, I did, I have to brush my hair," he said grumpily. "Calm down, just wait until I leave," he said logically. He heard her sigh and heard the water turn off.
"Hurry up its cold in here," she complained as Draco took his time brushing his hair to make it look perfect. She tapped her foot impatiently inside the shower onto the marble.
"Done," he said finally and walked out back into his room, laughing his head off. Of course he had done it to make her mad, and yes it had worked. This year was going to be great. They were in all of the same classes because they were both equally smart and he was in Gryffindor now.
At that moment she stormed into his room, fully clothed and her hair actually looking pretty good. Draco again noticed how hot she was when she was angry. He didn't even bother to push away the thought; he got them all night last night.
"What was that about?" she screamed at him, advancing him into the wall. He put his hands up in defense and backed straight into the wall.
"To make you mad," he said in the tiniest voice. Her eyes were like flames dancing in their sockets. "You're hot when you're mad," he blurted out. Her eyes locked with his and she stepped closer. Draco's hand flew to his pocket to grab his wand but Hermione's hand caught it and held it.
"Kiss me," she said as she leaned closer. Draco kissed her tender lips as his stomach danced with butterflies. But all of a sudden, the wind was knocked out of his entire body and Hermione was cackling.
"I've always wanted to do that," she said as he groaned in pain. Why'd she have to punch him in the gut for?
"Punch me? What was that for? You told me to kiss you!" he complained as he struggled to get up. He took the hand offered from Hermione and pulled hard, so she landed on the floor in a heap.
"It was just funny. And I am not hot when I am mad," she argued with him as she laughed. He crawled over to her and began to tickle her until she couldn't breathe or laugh anymore.
"Yes, you are, trust me," he said and rolled off of the floor. He stood up and brushed himself off while she did the same. She closed the gap between them and kissed him full on the lips. He gasped and kissed her back eagerly. She broke away roughly, shaking her head.
"I wish we could, but we can't. Never…Oh god what did I do?" she said, wringing her hands. Draco sighed and down next to her.
He sat beside her silently and watched as she had a furious battle inside her own head. Draco sighed; he had enjoyed that kiss as much as she did. What was wrong with her, she can't play around with him like that. No way, he was a Malfoy, he called the shots.
He climbed on top of her and pushed her down so she was lying on the bed, crashing his lips onto hers. She responded as she kissed him back, pulling him by his tie closer to her. She flipped him over so she was on top and sunk into him as they began to make out on his bed.
Damn, she's a good kisser, he thought as she licked his lips. He eagerly opened them and her tongue slid into the mix. She suddenly stopped, rolled off of him and checked her watch.
"Shit," she muttered and tried to flatten her hair, which was already frizzing. "We missed breakfast," she explained, "and we are going to be late for Potions," she went on. Draco panicked, fixed his hair and grabbed his backpack.
"Can't we skip?" he said suddenly. "I'd much rather stay here with you and-"but she rudely cut him off.
"I do not skip classes and we are not doing anything. We can't…we're going to be late because of you, we will talk later!" she screamed at him and ran down the stairs and out the portrait door, Draco in hot pursuit.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Hey Hermione, where were you at breakfast, making out with Malfoy or something?" Ginny joked as Hermione and Draco sat down at lunch. Both of them were starving as neither of them had had any breakfast, and they both piled food onto their plates.
"Ha-ha, she wishes," Draco answered for Hermione and she gave him a death glare. He gave her a smirk and turned back to his food.
"My alarm didn't go off this morning for some reason, and then we were going to be late for Potions so we skipped. This git's clock didn't go off either so he couldn't even wake me up," she explained as she started on her corned beef and cabbage sandwich.
"Oh, well get those fixed you look starving," Harry commented as he watched her eat her sandwich. Draco choked into his soup as he noticed how quickly she was eating. Harry shot Draco an angry look.
"I will, don't worry," she answered simply. She ate her way through 5 different sandwiches and two bowls of soup before lunch was over. She then downed a goblet of pumpkin juice and got up, ready for class.
"Come on Draco," she said and pulled him away from his chicken. "We aren't about to be almost late for another class." Draco stared at her wide-eyed and then caught on to what she was saying. She led him away from the hall and upstairs toward the Charms classroom.
She stopped and pulled him into the unused class room next to the Charms classroom and closed to door. She backed him into it and smashed her lips into his and put her arms around his neck. He snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
She broke the kiss and looked at him in horror, backing up and sinking to the floor on the opposite wall. "No, no, no," she repeated softly, her eyes wide. "I like Draco Malfoy," she said faintly and looked at him in horror.
Draco stopped moving and blinked a few times. "What did you say?" he asked her in surprise.
"Nothing," she said quickly, but Draco had known what she said. She had said she liked him; Hermione Granger, Gryffindor bookworm, liked him, Draco Malfoy, former prince of Slytherin. "If you tell anyone what you just heard, I'll kill you," she said before getting up and rushing out of the door. Draco stood there, transfixed, and then followed her out.
The first day back was already interesting, imagine the entire year. Little did he know of what was to come in the next month.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Draco Malfoy!" Hermione's voice screamed as she walked through the portrait door and into the common room where Draco had been working.
"Yes?" he asked wearily. He wasn't ready for her to yell at him for something he probably didn't even do. She came over and laid down on the couch, resting her head on the arm rest.
"Did you tell anyone?" she asked him nervously. Draco chuckled at her comment and paranoia.
"Hermione, who do I have to tell?" he replied to her and she sighed in relief.
"What you heard," she choked out," I didn't mean for you to hear."
"Obviously. Now let's talk about how you like me?" he said and crawled over to her and lay down on top of her, pushing her hands above her head and holding them there, kissing her lips. He had been dying to do this since this after she kissed him earlier, but he hadn't had the chance.
Last year he would have never of even thought of doing this with Hermione, he thought as he slid his tongue into her mouth, but this was totally different. He didn't really like her that much, but there was definitely something about her that had a spark. Whenever he kissed her he got butterflies and that had never happened when he was with any other girl.
So, he asked himself, what was he doing with her? He really didn't like her as a girlfriend and he didn't want to toy with her. She wasn't like Pansy; she had fragile feelings and he owed her a whole lot. But man, he liked kissing her. He liked the feeling of her underneath him and being around her all the time.
He was brought back to his senses when Hermione grabbed his hands, which he just realized were traveling up her skirt. "Watch your hands, I'm not your sex toy," she scolded and flipped on top. "But I definitely like our talks," she said and laughed.
"Sorry," he said," but I like our talks too," he said and reached up and kissed her again.
"Enough, I have homework," she complained and rolled off of him. Draco sighed and tried to grab her to come back, but she pulled away. Draco moaned and she laughed.
"You're worse than Ron," she said and sat down and began to pull out books.
"Your dating him again?" he asked him, and she turned around gave him an angry look.
"I do not cheat on people, especially with someone considered to be my worst enemy," she said and gave him another look.
"It was just a question," he said and shrugged it off. "So we're still worst enemies huh?"
"Of course not, if we were would I be snogging you on the couch?" she said matter-of-factly.
"Perhaps, I've done it before with Pansy," he said and they both laughed.
"You're so insensitive," she said and laughed again.
"Do you find that sexy Hermione?" he asked her and she rolled her eyes as he crawled over to her.
"Maybe," she murmured against his lips as they neared hers. "And I said I had homework!'
"I don't care," he whispered into her ear and kissed her desperately on the lips. "I…like…to…kiss…you," he said in between kisses.
"Is that what I am, your toy?" she asked him angrily as she stood up and dragged him by the tie and laid him down on the couch, straddling him afterwards.
"Do you even care right now?" he asked her and raised his eyebrows.
She considered it for a minute and finally said, "Good point," before initiating their next kiss.
