Hermione helped see all of the first years onto the boats and then went to find Ron, Harry, and Ginny for the carriage ride up to the school. She looked around for a little while, and not finding them decided to just get into an empty carriage and see them up at the school. She got in and sat down. She was followed not long after by Draco.

Draco got into the carriage and sat on the seat next to her. "So Granger, it seems that we're going to be seeing a lot of each other this year." He said reaching his hand out and placing in on her leg.

"It seems like it. What's your point Malfoy?" She turned to look into his eyes, not even attempting to move his hand off of her leg.

"Well, when I first found out that I was going to have to be spending the year sharing my common room with you, I was disappointed, until I saw you walk onto the train. I think this year is going to be a lot better than I thought." He moved his hand farther up his leg.

Hermione's breath hitched slightly. "And why do you say that?"

As an answer Draco leaned over and captured her lips with his once more. He didn't even have to ask for entrance this time, she just gave it to him willingly. Draco deepened the kiss, and pushed Hermione back slowly so that she was laying back on the seat and he was laying on top of her. When they got to the school and the carriage stopped Draco sat up and helped Hermione sit up. "Does that answer your question?"

"I think that it does." She smiled at him seductively, adjusted her robes, and did a quick spell on her face to get rid of the lipstick that she was sure was smeared again. She then exited from the carriage behind Draco, and they both went their separate ways to find their friends.

Hermione saw Harry, Ron, and Ginny walking a little ways ahead of her. "Hey guys. Wait up for me." She hurried to catch up with them. "Hey. Where were you guys? I tried to find you to ride up to the school, but I didn't see you. I ended up having to ride up here with Malfoy." She tried to make herself sound as repulsed as possible.

"Oh, 'Mione, that must have been truly awful for you. I'm so sorry." Ginny said. Giving Hermione a look that said, 'Yeah right, I'm sure it was torture snogging him all the way to the castle.'

Hermione shot her a warning glance. "It was, he is such an arrogant git."

"I still can't believe you have to live with him this year 'Mione. If he does anything to you, you just let me know, and I'll turn him into a ferret again, and we can watch him bounce through the halls." Ron said putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I hope the sorting goes fast this year, I'm bloody starving."

"Your always starving mate." Harry piped in. "Seriously though 'Mione if he gives you any trouble you'll tell us, right?"

"Of course Harry. I'm sure that I'll be fine. We can always just ignore each other." Hermione assured her overprotective friends. "Besides at least this year, I don't have to worry about him calling me a mudblood anymore. Now that he knows that I'm just as much of a pureblood as he is, maybe he'll lay off a little bit."

They walked in and took their seats in the Great Hall for the beginning of the Sorting Ceremony. When the sorting was finished, Dumbledore made the usual announcements, and the feast began. Hermione ate her dinner, and continued to sit there talking to her friends. She was torn, part of her wanted to back to her dorm and be with Draco, but part of her was scared. She had never gone further than kissing with a guy before, and she knew about Draco's reputation. She wasn't sure if she was ready to do anything else, but there was something about him that just made her lose control. She sat there poking at her dessert with her fork.

"Hermione! You look like you are a million miles away. What's up?" Ron asked. From the look on his face he had been trying to get her attention for a while now.

"Huh…what…oh nothing. Just thinking. Sorry. Did you need something?" She put her fork down and looked at him.

"Maybe you should go up to your dorm 'Mione. You look like you could use some time to relax." Ginny said smiling at her.

"You're probably right Gin. I think I will go up and check out my new room. I'll see you guys tomorrow for breakfast. Night." Hermione got up kissed her two best friends on the cheek, slapped Ginny along side the head, and walked out of the Great Hall. Ginny never was big on subtlety. She knew that she shouldn't have told her, but Ginny was right, she wasn't a very good liar.

Hermione walked up to the portrait leading to the head dormitories. The Hermione and Draco and the picture were standing as far apart as possible without leaving the portrait, and they were both facing away from each other with their arms crossed. "Hello." Hermione said to the Hermione in the portrait.

"Oh hello. Welcome to your dormitories. It's so nice to finally meet you." The portrait Hermione smiled excitedly.

"Hello. I must agree, it is very nice to be meeting you." The portrait Draco said looking her up and down with the Malfoy smirk plastered on his face.

"Charming." Hermione said shaking her head at the portrait Draco and smiling, the resemblance was uncanny. "Nice to meet you both as well. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll turn in for the night. Fellowship." The portrait hole swung forward and she stepped into her new home. It was beautiful. It was so much better than the Gryffindor common room. It had bookshelves lining the walls, a fire place, two large comfy couches, four armchairs, and two desks in the back. It was decorated in a mix of the Slytherin and Gryffindor colors, of course. She stepped further in. She noticed two doors going off to the side. One with a portrait of a snake, and the other with a portrait of a lion. There was also a door in the back that she assumed led to the bathroom. She walked over to her portrait. She already knew what she wanted her password to be. "Greyhaven." The lion in the portrait nodded, opening the door and allowing her into her room.

Instead of being decorated in the Gryffindor colors this room was decorated in her favorite colors. Purple, and silver. She wondered to herself how they knew what colors she would have wanted her room to be. It had the usual four-poster bed, with thick purple velvet hangings. Her bed was made with silver satin sheets, and a purple satin comforter. Also in her room there was a small personal bookshelf, already filled with her collection of books, a dresser, a desk, and a mirror. There was also a door leading to the bathroom. She walked over and went through this door now.

The bathroom was the most luxurious room she had ever seen. It had a huge Jacuzzi tub, big enough to fit five people, with all of the different spouts to add the scented bubbles. It also had two shower along the back wall, and two sinks, two mirrors, and two cabinets along the front wall. She looked over to where the door was leading to Draco's room and saw that it was partially open. She slowly walked towards it. As she did so, she could hear him moving around in there. "Malfoy?"

"Come on in Granger. The doors open." Draco called.

Hermione walked into his room to find him sitting on his bed reading a book. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll just go." She turned to walk back out.

"I wouldn't have invited you in if you were interrupting anything. Come in. Sit." He put down the book and motioned for her to sit on the edge of the bed. He sat up and moved to the edge of the bed as well.

Hermione looked at what he was wearing. He looked ridiculous. He was wearing a pair of pajama pants without a shirt, and he had his robes on. She shook her head and went to sit down. She wanted to talk to him about what had happened on the train, and again on the carriage. She sat down next to him, and then turned herself so that she was sitting with one leg on the bed and the other hanging down, so that she could face him better. "Malfoy. What exactly happened between us on the train?"

Draco turned towards her in the same manner. He looked at her in a minute before lifting his hand and touching her face. "Do you not realize how good you look this year Granger? You have always been pretty, but this year, you come to school with this new look. Do you not know what those clothes you are wearing can do to a guy? Also, this year, you're not forbidden, and I wanted you, so I went for it."

Hermione blushed slightly at this, and leaned into his hand on her face. "You wanted me? Why would you want me? You could have any girl in the world. And what do you mean forbidden?"

"It's true if I wanted to I could have any girl in this school at my beck and call, but I don't want a mindless fool. I want someone who's more like me. Someone who is smart, and powerful. You were forbidden to me. I'm a Malfoy, you were a mudblood. My father would have murdered me for even entertaining the idea, but now, you're not."

"That's not a very good way to proposition me Malfoy. Telling a girl that up until now they weren't good enough isn't really a way to get them to fall for you. What makes you think that I would want to be with you?" Hermione asked shoving his hand off of her face and moving to get up.

"I'm not asking you to fall for me Granger, I don't fall in love. I'm just asking you to give in to what we both want." Draco said grabbing her hand and pulling her back down towards the bed.

"Oh yeah. And what's that?"

"Each other." With that Draco leaned forward and placed his lips roughly on Hermione's. Again he felt her instantly relax and open her mouth to him. He took advantage of the fact and laid her down on the bed. He started to kiss down her neck again, causing her breathing to become more ragged. He let his hands roam down along her back to her butt where he grabbed her and slid her up slightly higher on the bed. He then moved his hands out from under her and used them to support him as he held himself over her, again taking her mouth roughly with his own.

Hermione moaned into the kiss. She knew that she should stop him, but she didn't want to. "Oh Malfoy." She said full of desire, as he moved down to her neck again. He had positioned himself so that he was kneeling between her legs. He moved his hands up and started to take off her robes. "Malfoy wait." Hermione pushed him back slightly looking into his eyes. They were now an even stormier looking blue than she had seen on the train. "I've never…I mean I've only ever…kissed a guy before now." She blushed furiously and looked away.

"Really?" Draco hadn't expected that. He sat up and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

"I'm sorry Malfoy. I don't want to stop…I just thought that you should know." Hermione sat up on her elbows and tried to get him to look at her.

"First of all, please stop calling me Malfoy, my name is Draco. Second, I never would have thought that you would have never done anything before. I thought that you might be a virgin, but you've never done anything but kissing? Bloody hell, Granger."

"If I'm going to call you Draco, it's only fair that you call me Hermione, or 'Mione or something. Just because I've never experienced anything before doesn't mean that I'm not ready to now, so what's the big deal?"

"Listen Mia, I'm a lot of things, but I'm not one to make someone do something that they don't want to do. If you are not totally sure that you want to be with me, then we won't do anything until you're ready."

"Mia? I like that. It sounds nice. Draco I'm sure that I want to do this. I want to be with you, just as much as you want to be with me." She sat up, and took off her robes. She then loosened her Gryffindor tie. She slid herself further up the bed so that she was positioned where she could lay her head back on the pillows. She pulled the tie off and threw it to the floor. She then unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, and stopped looking up at Draco, she lightly bit her bottom lip.

Draco smiled at her, and reached over to pull off her shoes. He threw them to the floor and then slid up so that he was laying across her again. He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips. He was surprised when she wrapped her hands around his head, pulling him in closer, deepening the kiss. He moaned into the kiss.

Hermione moved her hands down his neck to his shoulders and started to pull slide his robes off. Draco sat up, pulling her with him so that it would be easier for her to rid him of his robes. Draco moved his hands up and caressed her face, running his thumb along her lips. Hermione leaned her head into his hand, and closed her eyes. When she opened them she gasped, and pulled away.

Draco quickly took his hands away. "What is it?"

Hermione reached over and grabbed his left arm and pulled it towards her. "You're a death eater? Aren't you a little young to be a death eater?" She ran her fingers over the mark on his forearm.

Draco winced when she touched it. "My father is the Dark Lord's right hand man. Under normal circumstances I would be considered too young, but my father got him to give me my mark early. Now that Potter got my father sent to Azkaban, I've taken his place in the inner circle until his escape can be arranged. This doesn't change who I am Mia. This mark has nothing to do with the way that I feel about you. I will understand if you don't want to do this anymore, but I assure that with or without this mark nothing would change."

"Did it hurt? It looks like it would be painful. Did you want to get the mark?" She leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on his arm.

He was surprised at how soothing that felt. He hadn't received the mark long before coming to school and it still seemed to give off a dull ache. He reached out and ran his fingers through her long curls. "Yes it hurt. It still hurts, not a lot, more like a constant reminder that it's there. Yes I did want to get the mark. I always knew that I would. I hadn't expected to receive it so soon, I had hoped to finish school first. After the trouble in the Department of Mysteries last year, it became important that I receive the mark as soon as possible."

"If you promise me that you are not just using me in some sick attempt to get at Harry, or to bring me to your side in the war, then I see no reason why we can't continue. It's not like we're talking about marriage or anything, we're not even talking about love. Our beliefs shouldn't get in the way. I promise that I won't use you to help my side of the war, if you promise that you won't use me for yours."

"Agreed. I would never do that to you. I know that you are devoted to helping Potter in this war, and I respect that. People are allowed their own views, be they right or wrong. I would never try to sway you in anyway."

Hermione looked up, searching his eyes for any hint of a lie. When she didn't see any, she was satisfied. She kissed his arm one last time and laid back down. She looked up into his eyes and gave him a shy smile.

Draco smiled, and leaned down placing kisses all over her face, down her neck, and to the beginning of an opening in her shirt. As he started to kiss slowly down the opening, he started to unbutton the rest of the buttons. When he was done he pulled her up off the bed so that he could slide the shirt off of her shoulders. He then threw it onto the floor. He laid her back, and kissed his way down to the top of her breasts. He reached his hands around her back undoing the clasp on her black, lace, strapless bra. He tossed it out of the way. He then kissed his way over to her left breast taking her hardened nipple into his mouth. He flicked his tongue back and forth across it, causing her body to shudder in response. He then moved over and did the same to the right.

Hermione couldn't believe how good it felt. It sent chills all through her whole body. She ran her fingers through Draco's hair as he kissed his way down her stomach. As he worked his way down towards her belly button, he hit a ticklish spot, and Hermione tried to stop herself from laughing. "Draco that tickles."

"What tickles? This?" He asked, kissing her stomach again, and then blowing cool air on the place where he had just kissed causing Hermione to laugh out loud. Draco smiled and moved back up and kissed her again on the mouth. "I don't want to go any further unless you are sure Mia. We don't have to do anything today."

"I've already told you. I'm ready. I don't want to be the goody-two shoes Gryffindor Princess anymore. I want to know what it feels like for once to listen to what my body is telling me, instead of what my brain is telling me. I want to let go and lose control. I want to be with you." Hermione reached her hands behind her back and unzipped her skirt and slid it down as far as she could, never taking her eyes off of Draco's.

Draco slid her skirt the rest of the way off for her and just looked at her for a minute. Now all that she had on was her black lace thong. "Mia, you really are beautiful do you know that?"

Hermione sat up and kissed Draco. She moved her hands down to his pants and started to push them off of him. She felt him smile into the kiss, and move to make it easier for her to remove them. Hermione leaned back and looked into his eyes. She kept his eyes focused on hers as she slid her underwear off. She bit her bottom lip, blushing slightly, she laid back onto the pillows.

Draco looked down at her now naked body. He moved up and kissed her passionately. He allowed his hand to move down along her body. He could feel that she was already quite wet. He used his thumb to massage her clit causing her whole body to shudder, and for her to moan into the kiss. He then slid one finger into her, giving her body a chance to adapt before slowly moving it in and out. He could see that she was starting to enjoy it, so he pulled it out and reinserted it adding a second finger. Hermione moaned out loud. He started to move them in and out faster, searching for that magic spot. He pushed in deeper, and Hermione cried out his name, her eyes rolling back in her head. Draco then slid his fingers out of her. He kissed her again with even more need.

"Draco, I need you." Hermione reached down and pushed his boxers down off of him, releasing his erection. She gasped at the sight of it, and blushed.

Draco kissed her again, and moved himself into position. "This is going to hurt Mia. If it's too much and you want me to stop, just tell me." He thrust into her slowly until he met resistance. He then pushed through her barrier, and waited for a minute while her body adjusted. He could see the look of pain in her eyes. "Are you ok?"

Hermione nodded. "Don't stop."

Draco slowly started to thrust in and out of her, thrusting a little deeper each time. He didn't want to hurt her too much, so he was taking it slow. He pushed in deep and saw her face react as he hit her spot. He started to thrust a little faster now, her body had started to relax. She felt so good to him. Draco had never been with a virgin before. He could tell that it wouldn't belong before he reached his climax he started to go faster.

Hermione had never experienced anything so wonderful in her life. She felt like her whole body was going to explode from all of the rush of feelings that she was experiencing. She wanted him to go faster. She knew that he was trying to go slow for her, but she didn't want him to go slow, she felt like if he went this slow she would die for sure. "Please Draco. Faster. Faster." She dug her nails into his back as she reached orgasm and her eyes rolled back into her head. She screamed out his name. At the same time she felt herself being filled with a warm liquid. She knew that Draco had climaxed too. Draco collapsed onto her, exhausted. He pulled out and rolled over onto his back next to her. Hermione laid there waiting for her breathing to return to normal. She rolled over onto her side so that she was facing Draco. "Draco that was amazing."

"Yes Mia, it was. I haven't enjoyed sex that much in a long time. I'm exhausted. We should get some sleep we have classes in the morning." He rolled over on his side and kissed her one last time before pulling her close, and drifting off to sleep.
