Chapter Six: Dates With Fists
Hermiones POV:
Draco sat beside me, much to my disliking, and asked, "Do you mind if I join you?"
Of course I do. "No, not at all. It's your common room too, after all," I replied in a civil manner. He was not going to get to me. Infact, I planned to get to him. I cuddled closer to Seamus and pulled his arm tightly around me. He smiled down at me and I returned the expression. We watched the movie in silence as Seamus rubbed my arm or brushed a finger against my cheek now and then.
Everytime he would do so, I would take a fast glance over at Draco- I mean Malfoy. He would give Seamus a disgusted look and occasionally mumble something. He was aggrivated, but not enough for my satisfaction.
Suddenly, I snaked my hand behind Seamus' head and pulled him down for a hard kiss. He immediately started kissing with all he had. It wasn't even ten seconds before we had our tongues dancing together. I heard an "Ahem." from Malfoy. Sucker.
I crawled into Seamus' lap as we started snogging, completely unattentive to the now fuming Draco Malfoy that sat only a few inches away. No one was watching the movie anymore, but then again, was it ever about the movie? Honestly.
Malfoy made a very loud cough and I stopped to look back at him. "What?" I asked.
"Do you mind?"
"No. Go on with whatever you were doing."
"I'm not talking about that, Granger," he said calmly through clenched teeth, "Could you please pause your make out session untill after the movie?" I quickly looked over to the flashing screen only to see the subtitles slowly cascading down it.
"It is over," I informed him. He stared at the screen for a second. He was obviously disappointed at this. He turned back to me.
"Oh… Well then. I guess we should all head back to bed. It's going to be an early morning…"
"What are you talking about? It's Saturday tomorrow." I love spoiling his plans. Malfoy sent me a glare. It was time to put him out of his misery, "But I guess it's time for you to go Seamus. I had a lovely time, but I really must be getting to bed."
"Ok 'Mione," he said. Nicknames already, eh? I saw Draco cringe at the name. I smirked. "Would you like to come to Hogsmead with me tomorrow?"
Oh how could I resist his sweet face… And Dracos shocked one.
"I would love to go to Hogsmead with you tomorrow!" I replied. I guess I would go without Ron and Harry for once, not that I was planning to go anywhere near Harry at the moment. I walked Seamus to the door and gave him a long-lasting kiss goodnight. Hook line and sicker. That boy was mine.
Once Seamus was fully out the door, I turned around only to find Malfoy standing only a few inches away from me.
"What just happened there?" He asked in an angry tone.
"I was just asked out on a date by Seamus. Do you have a problem with that?" God, we sounded like ex's.
"And why did you say yes?" he practically screamed.
"What ever are you so mad about, Malfoy? It's not like there's anything between us. Oh wait, there was that one thing, but don't you remember? We both agreed to forget about it." I replied in a sickenly calm voice. I was getting to him, and I was loving it.
"Ok, I get it," he sighed. Did he really? I didn't think boys understood anything about anyone elses feelings anymore. "I know, but… Why did you have to say yes?" He had his head down. I almost felt bad.
"I said yes because I really do want to go to Hogsmead with Seamus. I am ending this discussion, which, by the way, was absolutely pointless, there. Good night Malfoy."
Almost felt bad.
I started to walk up the stairs that led to my room when I was roughly pulled around and backed up against the wall.
"You shouldn't speak to me in that tone Mudblood," He said through clenched teeth. And he said he wouldn't hurt me! I can't believe I fell for that crap! His hold on me tightened and I winced in pain.
He noticed this and softened his grip.
I spoke slowly. "Don't… Touch me." I pushed him off me and ran into my room, along with slamming the door shut. I did not want to think about him right now. All the events of this day were completely uncalled for. I had to get away from the world, even if it was for a little while. I slipped into my bed and drifted off into a light sleep.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I woke up that morning feeling extremely refreshed. I knew that my morning shower would only make me feel even more spectacular so I rushed to the the washroom. I opened the door only to find Draco there… In his silk green boxers. I screamed.
"We really have to stop meeting like this, Granger," he said with a smirk. I couldn't help but notice all his muscles. For that moment, I loved quidditch.
"I am going to take a shower, Malfoy, so I suggest you leave."
He walked up to me and slid a hand around my waist.
"Or… I could join you." He cocked up an eye brow and gave me an evil grin. Why that little…
"I would much rather bath in acid." That's right, I said acid! Unfortunately, his cocky look never faded.
"Are you sure?" He whispered into my ear as he pressed his body against mine. I could feel his well toned chest against me. I swear, that boy will be the death of me.
"Most definitely." I expected him to leave me be at that moment, but then again, who did I think I was dealing with?
"I think you're lieing to me," he whispered again as he begain to nibble my ear. He had gotten me. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck to bring him closer. I felt him smile against my cheek.
I pulled him as close to me as I could and whispered softly into his ear.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to get ready for my date with Seamus." I pushed him away.
He stared at me in pure shock before regaining his composure. Although he had a calm face, I could see the flare in his eyes. Why did he care so much? I didn't know and I didn't care. As long as it pissed him off, I was going to keep mentioning it.
I saw the flare in his eyes change into a flare of evil as a smirk played on his lips.
"Wouldn't want to make you late for your date now, would I?" And with that, he stepped into his room. Sneaky little devil he was. What was he up to? I just did not understand.
I carefully slipped my pyjamas and under garments off until I was naked. I turned the shower on and walked into the warm water as it relaxed my tense muscles. I started washing myself. After I finished washing my hair, I stepped out of the shower and pulled a towel around myself. Just as I had wrapped the towel fully around me, Dracos door opened.
"Hello! I could have been NAKED! You don't just WALK IN ON ME LIKE THAT! Could you be any more rude?" I scolded loudly. What did he think he was doing?
"Now, would that really be that bad?" He asked, ignoring the question. He took the opportunity to scanned whatever flesh he could see. The pervert! He started to walk towards me, but I had learned better than that. Everytime he walked towards me, it ended horribly. I went to get my clothes when, suddenly, I was grabbed around the waist. Arms slipped around my lower stomach and pulled me in so that my back met with a hard chest and my cheek met with another. I just stood there as he breathed against me.
We must have been standing like that for five minutes before I had finally came to my senses and said something.
"Go."
I heard him let out a sigh before letting go of me and walking away. I heard the door shut. I had this pang of guilt that was tearing me apart.
When I said go…
I never meant away…
I sighed to myself before re-entering my room. I pulled out the clothes I was going to wear and started to put them on. I had decided to wear a pair of dark blue jeans and a white halter top with my favourite white sneakers. I walked out of my room and noticed that Malfoy was looking rather comfy reading on the couch. His eyes never left me as I walked to the door. Before I could open it, I heard a knock. I opened it to find Seamus standing there.
He smiled widely at me. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yep," I answered, taking a glance at Malfoys disturbed face. Seamus took my hand and we walked out.
End of Hermione's POV
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Dracos POV:
I can't believe she was actually walking out that door with that weak excuse for a man. Did she know what she was doing to me? - I mean - to herself? He wasn't anything special. Anyone could have told you that. What did he have that she liked? Well one thing was for sure. He wasn't going to win a girl like that that easily.
I grabbed my robe and headed out the door.
I took a carriage that lead to Hogsmead. The ride would give me time to plan exactly what I was going to do… Or help me come to my senses and turn back around.
I watched the scenery pass me by. I loved going on rides. It forced me to think because there was nothing else to do. Right now I was thinking of why I was there. Oh ya, because Seamus didn't deserve the mudblood. Wait, did that make any sense? I guess not to a Malfoy, but I would have to forget about that for now.
I needed someone else to help me. I couldn't do this alone and I knew it. I stepped out of the carriage and saw a certain girl standing over by a shop, looking through the window. She would do. In fact, she was perfect for the job.
I walked over to Pansy Parkinson and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and put me in a death-grip hug.
"Oh Drakie, I missed you so much! I thought I was going to perish without you!" she squealed. I really wish she had perished. Maybe this was a bad idea, but there was no turning back now…
"Parkinson, loosen the hug of death, will you? I was wondering if I could…" At that moment, something caught my eye. I looked across the street to find Granger and the Gryffindork walk into a small coffee shop called 'Right Now'. "… take you out for coffee!"
"Oh, Drakie! That would would be wonderful! Where though?"
"Um… Right Now?" I said innocently enough as I pointed to the small café.
"Well it doesn't look too nice…" Oh shit! Just come you little slut! "But ok!"
I sighed. I thanked the gods for her desperation. I took her hand, which she giggled uncontrollable at, and led her into the café.
I spotted the mudblood and Seamus over in a booth at a corner near the back. There was a booth beside it with a wall between the two. Perfect. I led Pansy over there, pretending not to notice Granger. Unfortunately, Pansy had to put a dent in my plan.
"Ew Drakie, look! It's the filth on legs." Pretty nice legs may I add.
"Nevermind her, babe. She'd nothing." I could see the hurt in Grangers eyes. Why did she care? After all, wasn't it she who said that she was none of my concern? Then again, why am I here then? Get your head together, Draco!
I noticed Seamus' arm around her and cringed. He was whispering something in her ear that seemed to make her laugh. They were looking right at me. Those sneaky buggers.
"Have something to say, Seamus?" I asked in a threatening voice.
"Not to you, ferret." He really didn't seem threatened by me. That had to change. In one swift move, I grabbed his collar, dragged him out of his seat and held him against the wall.
He smirked. He wasn't allowed to smirk! "What are you going to do, boy?" He acted like he was so much more mature and older. Calling me boy? I don't think so! I could almost feel Granger smirking behind me.
"Get him, Drakie!" Shut up Parkinson. I shoved him against the wall again.
"Watch what you say to me, Gryffindor. I don't care how brave you think you are." Something hit me that I wasn't expecting. Literally.
The bastard spit on me! And in my eye!
I swung for a punch but he ducked and stepped to the side. Granger found this quite amusing while Pansy was fuming. I sent another low punch and that one hit him in the stomach. He couldn't dodge that! Hah!
My smile faded as I received a brutal punch to my eye. To put me in more misery, I heard Parkinson running up to me.
"Oh, Drakie! Are you alright?" I shoved her off of me. I noticed that everyone in the café was now turned towards our little fiasco.
"I'm fine Pansy! Get away from me!"
I turned to look at the very satisfied, yet hurt, Seamus. Granger was proudly standing beside him. The whole school would be hearing about this. I had no doubts about it.
I went for him again, but this time I aggressively tackled him to the ground. I heard a loud 'Ouf' come from him. I was sitting on him, ready to punch him once again when someone caught my arm. I looked behind me to see a very angry Granger holding my arm back with surprising strength.
"Don't be stupid, Malfoy." I let my arm fall as I looked at her. I wish she cared that much about me. I mean, no I didn't! "He'd only beat you."
We both knew that I would win, but she wasn't about to admit that. At that moment I received a hard punch in the stomach which caused me to double-over in pain. I immediately fell off of him and tumbled to the floor.
"That was cheap Seamus… Cheap," I said in disgust. No man should when a fight like that. Granger didn't seem to be too pleased with it either, but she went along with it anyways.
"What the hell did you do to my drakie?" I heard Parkinson squeak. God, she was annoying.
"I'm out of here," I said to no one in perticular.
I got up to my feet and walked out of the café before the manager could come over. Pansy unsurprisingly followed me.
"Get away from me, Pansy"
"But Drakie, I thought you wanted me to-"
"I said leave!"
"No, you need me!" She clung to my arm with a death grip. This girl just didn't know when to quit.
"Pansy. I suggest you let go off me right now." She shook her head and tried to drag me wherever she was going. I harshly shoved her and she fell to the cold ground. She looked up at me with shock and hurt in her eyes. I could see that she was about to cry, but it was her fault. I walked away looking for a quite place for me to just sit and think.
End of Dracos POV.

Hermiones POV:
After the row Seamus and Malfoy had, Seamus and I decided to leave and walk around.
I knew I should have been listening to Seamus as he talked about his childhood story. He was really trying to connect to me, but I was too busy thinking about Malfoy. What had gotten into him? Was he really that jealous? Did he like me that much? And if he did, why? We hated each other. You can't switch your feelings for someone that fast. Then again, there is a thin line between love and hate. No, no, no! We are nothing even close to loving each other!
My thoughts were interrupted when something caught my eye. Over by the woods, sitting on a rock, was Malfoy, just staring blankly at the ground. I had to talk to him. Seamus spoke.
"Hey Hermione, I have to use the washroom. Wait out here, ok?" Perfect timing. Someone up there was on my side! I smiled up at Seamus.
"Ok." He smiled back and walked into the restaurant beside us.
I walked over to Malfoy. He didn't seem to notice my presence until I sat down beside him on the rock. He looked over and his eyes widened before softening again.
"You alright?" I asked softly. Why did I care? Because I did…
"Ya…" Sounds like a 'no' to me.
"What happened back there?"
His brow furrowed as he answered me. "Nothing. Your little boyfriend was just getting on my nerves."
"I believe you were the one who started it." It was true. He shouldn't blame Seamus for his actions!
"So he is your boyfriend." He was completely ignoring my reply. I already knew this was about me and Seamus though.
"No, he isn't, but he could be soon." Why was I telling him this?
"Oh." He sounded so… different. Right then, I really wish I could just hug him.
"I… I'm sorry that all of this happened…" Why was I apologizing? I don't know. It was all I could think of doing at the time.
He looked at me with an expression that I couldn't understand. "Me too."
"Hermione?" I looked to my left where Seamus was standing. Shit.
A/N: ok that was kind of a cliffy! Im sorry. Now we're getting some action in here! I'm sorry it took me so long. I hope you enjoy! I will be working on the next chapter!
