Chapter 4

Hermione woke alarmingly early the next morning. She supposed that it was around 6:30, so she thought she would take a long shower and actually take time with her appearance for today. She followed the hall to the bathroom that was filled with a sweet aroma of lavender and apple. She also noticed the room was already quite steamy and heard the trickle of water coming from a cubical near by. Absentmindedly, she wondered who it was. Her question was answered when the shower abruptly stopped and out stepped Draco, no clothing, no towel, just Draco (And whatever package came with him).

Hermione stared open mouthed at the figure that had just stepped from the steamy shower.

He noticed her staring and smirked.

"You like what you see Granger?" He asked with a laugh. Hermione snapped out of her trance and mumbled,

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He laughed again and looked her in the eyes.

They're so dark!

He thought amazed. She noticed him staring this time and said,

"Careful, once you get sucked in, you can't get out." She said giving him her own little smirk.

"I didn't know you were so tight, Granger." Draco said stepping forward giving a broad smirk.

"I didn't know you were so…" She looked at his perfectly toned body. "Small!" She knew that she had just told a lie but it had worked. She also stepped forward; they were almost nose-to-nose now.

"I guess that I'm just a bit more of an improvement to Weasley though?" He said smartly.

"Get an upgrade or two and you might be at least half way!" She told sharply. He laughed at this.

"Half way through what? The back of an ants ars…" He was cut off by her lips forcing themselves upon his. His response was immediate. He snaked his arms around her slender waist as hers brought themselves upon his neck, twirling her fingers through his hair.

He ran his tongue along her lower lip, asking for entry into her mouth. When she gave in she felt his tongue massage hers. It was the best kiss she had ever experienced.

He pushed her against the bathroom wall and she felt his lean body press against hers forcefully. Sliding his hands down, he gripped and Hermione jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist. He pulled away and started kissing down her neck stopping now and then to suck, she moaned into her throat…

"He, hem?" The noise came from the door in which the prefects entered. Ginny was standing there with a grin on her face. Hermione blushed and noticed Draco was still un-clothed. He seemed to notice to as he quickly pulled his towel around his waist and walked from the room mumbling something about getting dressed. Ginny walked over to Hermione looking her up and down. She squealed!

"Oh my god, Mione' I cant believe what just happened." She said jumping up and down.

"Neither can I" Hermione told in a fuzzy sort of way. She walked over to the tub and sat on the ledge with a dazed sort of look. Ginny was still jumping up and down while Hermione comprehended what had happened.

Does that mean were together?

"So…are you together?" Ginny asked voicing her thoughts.

"I…don't know!" Hermione said, her voice drifting like a ghost. Ginny looked at her friend smiling then she noticed the marks on her neck.

"Jeez Mione' do you know how many girls would kill to have the Slytherin sex god do that to them?"

Hermione shook her head, and then snapped out of her trance. She looked Ginny in the eyes and they both jumped up screaming and laughing.

Meanwhile…

Draco heard the screaming floating down the hallway. He smiled to himself. Trust girls to react that way, Can't they just pat each other on the back like us guys do? He thought shaking his head. He had to admit, he himself felt like he could jump up and down screaming for a while. But he resisted, thankfully, as Blaise walked in grinning from ear to ear.

"What?" Draco asked trying to keep a straight face.

"Spill." Blaise said.

"Spill what?"

"You know. Is she good or is she good?"

"Mate what are you talking about?" Draco said smiling now.

"Ginny," Draco thought it was about that, "Getting you and Hermione together." Damm, he knew.

"I don't even no if were together. It was just a kiss."

"And from what I hear a very long one. It'll leave marks on her heart for a long time, and on her neck." Blaise smirked.

"What?"

"Haven't you seen her neck, the hickies you gave her are purple." Draco's eyes widened.

"Don't worry, Ginny taught her a concealment charm so that none of her friends would get suss'." Draco relaxed a little but soon tensed again.

"What if she doesn't want to date me?" He asked putting a hand through his hair.

"Are you mental mate? Who wouldn't want to date you?"

"Hmm, I suppose. Should I ask her out?"

"Definitely."

Draco walked down the hall, a smile spread widely across his face. As he reached the door to her dorm, he listened intently he didn't hear anything so he nocked lightly.

Hermione's POV…

Knock, knock, knock.

Oww. Damm it. Falling of your bed isn't the best way to answer a door. I got up and headed towards the door, limping slightly.

I opened it a peek to see who was there. Only to slam it again out of nervousness. I took three deep breaths and tried again, this time finding no one there.

"Draco?" I called scared.

He popped his head from around the corner and walked back to me, smiling. I smiled nervously back.

Draco's POV…

A sweat broke out on my forehead as I walked towards her as she smiled at me. I didn't know what I was going to say. That kiss earlier had been pretty heated, and she had made the first move after all, but what if she wasn't after a relationship, what if she just wanted a…fuck buddy?

It was possible, she wasn't the same brainy girl that she had been she was more adventurous; she may just want some fun.

"Hey Mione'"

"Hey Draco."

General POV…

"Uh…" The two teenagers said in unison as they stood there in awkward silence. Then they both said,

"Souwannagooutsumtime?" They laughed.

"You go." Hermione said.

"Um…Do you, by any chance…I don't know…want to go out some time?" Hermione grinned. A red tinge rising in her cheeks.

"Sure." She said calmly, although everything inside her was telling her to jump up and down screaming –IM GOING OUT WITH MALFOY, IM GOING OUT WITH MALFOY- but she didn't.

Keep it cool Mia, keep it cool. She thought repeatedly.

"Great!" Draco said now smiling himself.

Now what do I do? Do I kiss her on the cheek or what? He thought, but he didn't have to. Hermione beat him to it. She lent in a pecked him on the lips before running into her dorm and closing the door on him.

His mouth was spread in a big grin as he walked back to his dorm…
