A/N: thanks to the reviews I got. I just want to let everyone know that even though Draco is in love with Hermione, this story will not become a DMHG story, so there is no need to worry. Draco is just there to stir up the plot a little. Or maybe more than a little. Im not sure yet.

chapter 7

Hermione sighed. "It's Professor Snape." Hermione looked into Ginny's eyes searching for some expression. Ginny started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Snape? Come on. Seriously who is it?" She couldn't stop laughing.

"I told you its Severus." Hermione stood up and walked over to the fire. Ginny caught the anger in her voice.

"Oh Hermione. I'm sorry. I thought you were joking. Please don't be mad at me."

"It's ok. I know it's weird. Hell I didn't even believe it was happening at first. But I love him." Hermione turned back around to face Ginny who looked truly sorry.

"Well as long as you love him, then I'm happy for you." Hermione walked over and hugged Ginny.

"I should go I have class."

"Ok." Ginny turned to leave.

"Oh Gin."

"Yeah?" Ginny turned around.

"Thanks." Ginny smiled.

"You're welcome."

Hermione looked at her clock and realized that she too needed to get to class. She looked in the mirror to make sure she looked ok, then grabbed her bag and books and headed to the dungeons for Potions class. She walked into class and sat down. She almost jumped when Draco sat down next to her. She had forgotten that she also had Potions with him and that he sat next to her. What was with all the teachers and placing them together?

All of a sudden she heard the door close and Severus walked to the front of the room. Hermione grinned as he scanned the room.

"Today you will be having a pop quiz." Severus smirked as almost every student groaned.

"You will have one hour to complete it. You may begin." He waved his wand and a test appeared in front of each student. Hermione of course was done in only a half hour seeing as she was the best student in the class. Severus waved his wand and her test disappeared. She looked into his eyes and grinned.

You're done very early.

Well it helps when you have a brain like mine.

Oh. You think your good do you?

I know I'm good.

Well I suppose your right. He smiled at her. She leaned back in her chair and ran her hand down her body. She then unbuttoned a few buttons on her robe to slightly reveal her cleavage. She watched his eyes fall down to her chest and saw him swallow hard.

What do you think you are doing?

Well it's getting a little hot in here.

Are you trying to embarrass me in front of the whole class?

What ever do you mean?

I mean this growing thing in my pants. Hermione had to suppress a laugh as it was completely silent in the room. She ran her finger across her breast. She leaned forward to push her breasts up further and smiled at him.

Do you realize that you have another admirer?

What?

I'm talking about your partner, next to you. Hermione shifted her eyes to see Draco staring at her chest. She moved to cover herself up quickly and looked up to see Severus almost laughing.

You think this is funny?

Yes. I find it quite funny actually.

Well I'm glad that my discomfort amuses you.

It's your own fault. He is only human after all. Who wouldn't want to look at you?

Aww how sweet. But that still doesn't change the fact that he was looking at my boobs. Severus was still smiling.

It's not funny!

Yes it is.

Oh you are so getting punished later.

Oh please do. In that case this is hilarious.

I didn't mean like that. She pretended to look pouty and angry.

Really well what would it take for you to mean it like that?

You are the horniest man I've ever met. She was smiling at him.

Me? You're the one who wanted me to come to your room this morning.

Well I can't help it. I have all this stress and I need a release.

Well I can help with that. How about after class?

Hmm you mean like now since class is just about over?

What? Oh yeah. He waved his wand and collected all the tests whether they were complete or not. "Class dismissed. Miss Granger, I would like you to stay after. I have a question about your answer to question three."

Yeah right. She smirked and stayed in her seat. Everyone left and Severus waved the door shut.

Luckily she had only missed lunch and headed back to her rooms. She had about fifteen minutes until her last class, Ancient Ruins. She had just sat down when she heard a knock at the door. She walked over and found Draco on the other side.

"Draco. What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for…prying earlier. It was inappropriate." He was almost smiling.

"Oh it's ok. Um is that all?"

"No there is one other thing."

"Uh ok. Um have a seat." She motioned to the chairs and love seat by the fire. She walked over and sat on the love seat expecting him to sit in the chair across from her but he didn't. He sat on the love seat next to her. Very close to her.

"So um what is it Draco?" He sighed.

"Hermione you're beautiful, you know." He traced his finger down her cheek and around her lips. "I bet you could have any man you wanted." He ran his finger down her shoulder. She shuddered as he slid his hand down her back. He leaned over to her and kissed her neck. She leaned her head back and he moved up to her cheek. Then he brushed her lips with his. He then stood up and began to leave. Hermione was breathing heavily as she watched him walk out.

What have I done? Oh my god. How could I do this to Severus? Why did I let him do that to me? What have I done?

She had to get up and go to class but her legs wouldn't move.

"Hermione! Hermione are you in here?" Hermione looked up to see Ginny looking for her.

"Hermione there you are. What are you doing here? Everyone's worried about you. You missed Ancient Ruins. What's wrong?"

"I'm fine Gin."

"Hermione you can't lie to me. Come on let's get you up on your bed and we can talk." Ginny helped Hermione up and walked her to the bed. Hermione layed down and Ginny pulled up a chair next to her.

"Now tell me what's wrong?"

"Well after Potions I stayed and…talked to Severus and when I came back Draco was here. He said he had something to tell me so I let him in. He sat down really close to me. Then he did things to me. Not bad, well yes bad when I have a boyfriend but then he-he kissed me. It was like I had no control over myself."

"Come on. It'll be ok. It wasn't your fault. Let's go for a walk and clear your head. I didn't see you in lunch today, what were you doing? Or should I say who?" Ginny laughed and raised her eyebrows.

"Ginny!" Hermione stood up and linked her arm with Ginny's.

"Sorry." They laughed and left. "So did you?" Hermione laughed.

"Maybe," Hermione said grinning. By now Hermione had pretty much forgotten about Draco. Her and Ginny walked down the stairs laughing and ran into Harry and Ron.

"What are you two so giddy about?" asked Ron. Ginny and Hermione looked at each other and laughed again.

"Girl stuff." Ron and Harry just sighed.

"Well we've got Quidditch stuff to talk about so we'll see you later," Ron said. He headed up the stairs and Harry started after him. Harry walked up to Ginny, wrapped his arm around her stomach and whispered something in her ear, making her smile. He then headed up the stairs after Ron. When they had left Hermione turned to Ginny.

"So enough about my sex life. What's up with you and Harry?" Ginny's face turned almost as red as her hair.

"I wouldn't exactly call it my sex life, but we're dating. And my god he's a good kisser. I hope Snape is as good a kisser as Harry is, for your sake."

"Ew Ginny bad images. Harry is like my brother. I could never snog Harry. You on the other hand, have been in love with him since you were like 10. I'm so happy for you." Ginny smiled.

"Speaking of snogging, here comes Snape." Ginny elbowed Hermione and she turned around to see Severus coming down the stairs. Ginny pushed Hermione up the stairs a little and when Hermione turned around to yell at her she was gone. Ginny!

"Hello Professor." Hermione couldn't stop laughing.

"What's so funny Miss Granger?"

"I don't know." Finally she stopped laughing but was still grinning. Severus looked around to make sure no one was around and took her hand. He pulled her to an empty class room. Hermione turned around when he wasn't looking to see Ginny grinning and laughing at Hermione. Oh she is enjoying this way too much. She will pay.

Hermione leaned against the wall and reached up and grabbed the light that was hanging above her. Severus leaned down and began to blow on her ear making her squirm. He then kissed her neck and wrapped his arms around her waist. Her arms dropped and she played with his hair. He brought his lips up to hers and she allowed him access to her tongue. She moaned in his mouth. He lifted her up, slid her skirt up to her hips and she wrapped her legs around his waist.

All of a sudden the door shot open and Ginny burst in.

"Whoa!" She immediately turned around and covered her eyes.

"Ginny! What are you doing?"

"Sorry to barge in on…this, but I thought you should know that Professor McGonagall is looking for you Professor. She said something about a staff meeting and she was headed in here but I told her to check the Great Hall first so I could warn you two."

"Thank you Miss Weasley. I have no idea how you know about any of this but I have a feeling that you do," he said turning to Hermione. "We will talk about that later." He straightened his clothes and left. Hermione and Ginny saw him run into McGonagall right as she was coming out of the Great Hall.

"Ah Severus, there you are. There is a staff meeting right now and we need you to attend." Hermione smiled as she saw the scowl that he gave McGonagall. She had a feeling it wasn't because of the staff meeting, that it was because they had been interrupted. That brought her thoughts back to Ginny who was grinning in the doorway. Hermione pulled her skirt back down and fixed her hair. She walked past Ginny who was on the verge of laughter.

"Not a word Ginny."
