Chapter 8: Lay Me Down

(Lyrics by the Wreckers)

Draco slammed his fist to the wall once he was inside. He was letting her get to him. He leaned against the wall and slowly slid down it.

Damn her, he thought.

Hermione stood there looking at where Draco had disappeared. She felt tears mix with the rain still falling on her face.

I'm stupid, I'm foolish. How could I fall in love with him, she thought. She froze. Did she love him? She knew she had never felt this way about anyone else before. But was it love?

Draco walked into the potion's class two days later to find Hermione the first one in the class as usual. She was quietly reading her potions book and didn't even notice him sit down and place a note on the table.

"Hermione," he whispered. She looked up at him. "Hear me out. I'm afraid that if I get too close to you, I might hurt you. Please give me a chance." He looked around to make sure they were still alone and kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you." He suddenly got up and left the classroom obviously not wanting to know how this would turn out. Hermione looked to see a piece of paper sitting on the desk and opened it.

Hermione,

You may not feel the same way as I do, but I'm in love with you. If you feel the same, I must know

Draco Malfoy

You let me in cause after all it seemed like the right thing to do
I close my eyes and there you fall I wonder what you could possibly know
about breaking down that I don't

Draco had skipped all his classes in an effort to avoid Hermione till she came to a decision. He was reading "Pride and Prejudice" once more and was almost done with it. He stretched out on the couch of the living room of their dorm. He set down his book only to find Hermione in front of him wearing a long overcoat. He raised an eyebrow at this.

It's been a while since I begged for anything now I want more
So lay me down I'm lonely
you don't understand me
you never even tried to anyway

She shrugged it off to reveal her wearing a black lace thong and bra. She just stood there too nervous to move. Draco had noticed this and stood up to walk to her. His hands were shaking and Hermione reached out and held them to calm him.

"You nervous?" she asked.

"Not with you here," he responded.

I hear you say, it's not the same, I'm sorry it's just something I just can't explain
So shut your mouth and hold me close we know it's better than being alone
I don't mind cause nothings what it seems

Draco kissed her passionately laying her down on the couch. She slowly pulled his shirt over his head to reveal his toned chest. She noticed a red mark across it. She traced it with her finger making him shiver at her touch. She the kissed wound before working on his belt.

lay me down I'm lonely
you don't understand me
you never even tried to anyway

Draco took her bra off and looked at her breast.

"Like what you see?" she asked looking at him. In response, he kissed her neck slowly. Hermione moaned and grinded up against him to make him hurry. Draco smirked at her being impatient and bit her neck causing her to gasp. She slowly slid his jeans off to reveal his black boxers.

If wanting you is wrong then I'm wrong I admit it
Time after time you realize you don't mean it

Draco took her thong off to find her wet and ready.

"I can always wait," he said remembering she was a virgin.

"I'm ready, I'm sure," she responded finally taking off his boxers.

"Take a deep breath, this is going to hurt at first," he said before sliding into her. She gasped and felt tears fall down her face, but Draco kissed them away and put his lips over hers to make her know that everything was alright.

lay me down I'm lonely
you don't understand me
you never even tried to anyway

Draco began to move faster and harder with her. Hermione's breathing was coming out in moans and gasps. He felt her shiver beneath him and she screamed out.

"Oh, OH GOD DRACO!"

He knew that she had come, but he wasn't there yet. He continued to harder, faster, and deeper Hermione felt herself come again and he was ready to take her over the edge again. With a sudden cry louder than the others, Hermione and Draco came together.

"DRACO!" she screamed digging her nails into his back. He collapsed on her breathing hard. Hermione rested her head on his chest as they laid there bathing in afterglow.

You don't understand me, you never even tried to anyway
