"I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya,
But every touch is oh-la-la-la,
it's true la-la-la,
Oh I should be running,
Oh you keep me coming for ya,
Oh, when your lips undress me,
Hooked on your tongue,
Oh, love, your kiss is deadly, don't stop,
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya,
But every touch is oh-la-la,
It's true la-la-la..."

Gryffindor Common Room, Half past seven in the morning
Reaching upwards to tuck some of her curls behind her right ear, Hermione made her way down the stairs towards the main area of the common room. On the couch sat Ron beside the stupid bint Lavender who proceeded to snog her friend. Hermione never understood public displays of affection to this extent, or any really. Not that she had ever experienced something like it, to her it seemed as if showing your significant other affection should really only be for them and not as if to prove a point.
With a exaggerated roll of her eyes, she made her way over towards the other couch beside Harry who looked positively exhausted. Rightfully so though. On Saturday, Ginny had returned back to school, which Hermione still tried to understand how Molly had let her return after what had happened less than a month ago. Harry hadn't willingly left her side since her return. It was rather endearing but really he looked as if he needed sleep.
With a soft sigh, Hermione spoke, "You look a bit tired. Did you sleep at all last night?"
"Honestly..." Harry leaned backwards into the couch and proceeded to roll his neck, "No. Not really..."
"Harry, you need to rest. Ginny is fine. We're all worried about her which means we are all watching out for her." she spoke softly to him as to not make such a big deal about everything.
"I know 'Mione... I guess I'm still a little surprised that she is back so soon. There was so much that happened that night. And to think that Knott was messing with her for so long, it just...'" he huffed leaning forward to have his elbows resting upon his knees, "Really bothers me that we didn't notice- that I didn't notice."
Hermione reached her left hand upwards resting it upon Harry's back where she softly rubbed back and forth in a comforting manor.
"I feel the same way Harry..." she mumbled before leaning her head upon his shoulder lightly. In all honesty, Hermione felt the same way Harry looked. Guilty.
Hermione knew that she should feel this way. She let Ginny down in a way. Her only excuse was because she had been so preoccupied with Malfoy and her schooling that she hadn't even suspected anything. The moment she saw that Ginny break up with Dean and how it had barely had an effect on her should have been a huge flashing sign that something was up. Normally Ginny would have talked to her about it, the way they had talked about how Malfoy looked like he wanted to shag her.
'Gods, I should have known,' Hermione thought to herself as she saw Lavender stop kissing Ron to look over towards her and Harry. The look in her eyes was rather pointed and almost possessive.
"Aren't you with Malfoy or something?" Her high pitched words echoed in Hermione's ears as she shifted away from Harry to stare down the bint.
"'Lav..." Ron immediately said as Hermione tilted her head sideways before speaking.
"What, did you just say?" Hermione blinked suddenly shocked and a bit angry at the accusation. Whether it was true or not was not (which it was not), it was not any of her business. How dare she say something like that, let alone while around Harry and Ron moments after snogging him.
"Don't get me wrong Hermione, I don't see any issues with you throwing yourself at a known Death Eater. All the more power to you with the bad boy type," Lavender proceeded to untangle herself from Ron to look more directly at her, "I would just set your sites on just one. Maybe give Harry his space and stop staring at my Won-Won."
Hermione's mouth opened in shock while she proceeded to process what was just said to her. Before she could respond back to her, out of the corner of her she saw Ginny approached the group with a small smile.
"Mornin' anyone up for getting some breakfast?" Ginny asked as Lavender jumped upwards.
"Me, I am starved. Come on Ron, let's go find a good spot." she said as Ron mumbled apologetically while Harry stayed still. The rest of the group headed out of the common room towards the doors.
"'Mione... I-" Harry tried to say something.
"That daft miserable muppet," Hermione grit her teeth as she stood up with a sharp inhale. "Harry I'm going to the library before I do something I regret. Like hex the twat and get expelled."
"Shall I save you something to eat?" He asked as Hermione stalked over towards the stairs to go get some of her books.
"Yes, that would be nice," she answered giving Harry a thankful smile before making her way to her room. Once inside she made sure to grab her book bag as well as her wand. Sliding it into her sock, she then proceeded to make her way out of the Gryffindor common room and into the halls.
'How dare she basically call me a slag,' Hermione thought as she turned the corner and headed down a small spiral staircase. Once she turned left after the staircase she could see the library's doors just ahead of her. Taking a deep breath she passed through the threshold making her way towards the back where she usually sat. Once she was there she set her things down at the small table near the couch just before the restricted section.
One good thing about coming to study at this time of day, most people were eating breakfast so there was maybe one or two other students tucked in the back on the opposite side of the library. With a sigh, she pulled out her configurations book and proceeded to open the book to page 321. Just when she was about to start reading she remembered that in class a book with cliff notes. Getting up from her seat she began to wander down the sides of the library a few rows of books before turning down the third row.
"I had a feeling you would be here..." Hermione slightly startled by the sudden voice turned to glare at the speaker. None other than Malfoy.
"What do you want Malfoy," she sighed continuing to look for her book. It was a good moment where neither of them said anything. Hermione looked upwards to make sure that he was still there. When her eyes met his she was slightly startled by the look he was giving her. It made her shiver and suddenly feel self-conscious.
"What I want Granger, " he started towards her with a low voice making her back up into the bookshelf. His tall lean frame towered over her. "Is to make good on my promise from Friday."
Suddenly the heat from his body started to brush up against her as his hand made its way to her right cheek. After a moment she let her eyes close as he quickly leaned forward pressing his soft yet warm lips against hers. He roughly kissed her, using his tongue to slip past her lips and to meet hers. The movement itself elicited a quiet whimper from Hermione as he then used his other hand to make its was from her arm to her hip. Once his hand paused there for a moment she broke the kiss turning her head sideways to take a deep breath.
"Someone could see us, " she mumbled between deep breaths with her eyes closed. She then felt him beginning to nibble below her right ear while his knee pushed its way between her legs causing her skirt to hike up three or four inches above her knees. The sudden cool air hitting her thighs and between her legs.
"Granger, you need to relax," his words danced across her neck making her shiver. Using his hand upon her hip, he guided her forwards so that his knee brushed against her panties in a slight rocking motion. With a sharp gasp she felt her hand quickly grasp onto his upper bicep as his hand then moved from her hip to cup her left arse cheek.
"M-Malfoy..." she whispered so quietly if he hadn't had his ear near her mouth she wasn't sure he would have heard her. The fact that he was that close though, made his a very smug smirk form against her skin. It made her want to smack him in the arm. With shaky sigh, she relaxed in his arms as she felt him move his head upwards causing her to open her eyes only to see his steely blue ones directly looking into hers.
Clearing her throat in order to sound unaffected by his advances, Hermione the proceeded to inhale then exhale deeply.
"We need to stop," she whispered to him before sliding to her right out of his grasp. When she then made her way back to her things she sat down in an attempt to read what the chapter of the book was about.
"Now Granger, " she noted that his voice was just as uneven as hers was while he continued talk and sit beside her in another chair. "what part of that was relaxing?"
Draco the proceeded to scoot his chair as close to hers as he could get before pulling her chair with his feet towards him. His left hand then gently brushed her hair over her right shoulder before his lips ghosted on her neck just below her ear.
"Malfoy," Hermione quickly leaned away as he huffed and sat back upwards. She looked up to see a younger student, maybe a third or fourth year Ravenclaw staring at them before realizing she had been seen. The girl then quickly gathered her things before making her way out of sight.
"What's the matter with you Granger?" Malfoy asked as Hermione tried to look at her book before he reached out and shut it for her.
"Hey-" she started to say but then looked at Draco only to see his expression was still heavy but now also slightly irritated. She sighed before looking at her book cover. "Nothing... I just, I'm not some slag Malfoy. Alright?"
"When have I ever implied that your were?" he quipped in what sounded to be an angry snarl. It sounded liked he statement actually offended him.
"You hadn't, it was someone else this morning commenting on me being with you. Stupid bint..." she sighed before tucking her hair behind her and beginning to chew upon her bottom lip in thought.
"When have you ever cared about what others said about you," he mused in confusion. "That is far from the truth and everyone knows it. You're not like other girls Granger. Whoever said it was jealous and wanted to upset you."
'Dear Gods he was being nice about you...' Hermione stared at him as he looked her in the eyes with his signature expression. Just when she was about to say something he leaned forward, placing a single finger on her lips.
"Now here is what is going to happen Granger." He leaned in very assertively while his free hand when to her right knee. When he got a hold of her knee he proceeded to pull that knee closer to him causing her legs to open. "You are going to close your eyes and stop trying to control every damned thing for a moment. I am going to touch you and feel your arousal on my fingers." Hermione's stomach dropped and a swell of heat found its way between her thighs. It was difficult to form a thought let alone words. "Should you feel like you can't keep quiet, since we are in a library after-all, you are to use my hand to keep yourself quiet." Her mouth went dry at the thought, as his hand slid under her skirt to the band of her panties. His pointer and middle finger proceeded to glide down the outside of her underwear and then paused at her center. She then gasped aloud as she felt his fingers pushing into her and forming a damp spot. "Do you understand Granger?"
All she could do at that moment was nod, but when he the used his fingers to push the middle of her cloth aside she shuddered. Hermione felt blood drumming in her ears as her mouth watered from his cologne overwhelming her suddenly. His warm fingers gently circled her damp center as she felt his thumb making its way between her lips to find her little gem.
The flooding warmth she felt as he pressed his thumb down made her hips rock forward and her hands grab onto his forearm. With his finger still on her lips, she gasped an audible yes, before his hand moved to cover her mouth just before pushing a finger inside of her. A muted moan sounded from under his hand as he slowly pulled the finger out almost all the way before sliding it back in. He repeated this a few times before adding a second finger.
"Fuck, you are really wet Granger..." he huffed with a deep gravelly voice in her ear before picking up his pace. In time with his fingers Draco used his thumb to rub her gem in circles going faster with each thrust.
Hermione had both hands gabbing his forearm to the hand that covered her mouth, slowly feeling the heat building in a way she had never felt before. Sure she had touched herself down there before but she had never felt this before. It was almost too much as her hips rocked in time with his hand. With a gasp, she could feel her thighs beginning to tremble, her eyes locked with Malfoy's and the heat quickly began to spread from her stomach to the tips of her toes and her fingers. Suddenly she felt something happen, a gush of warmth filled her. She could barely hear Malfoy coaxing her as she dug her nails into his clothed arm not braking eye contact with him.
Then she slumped forward as his hand left her mouth catching her while he other remained in its place, still thrusting but slowing down. Closing her eyes for a moment she only then realized she had a small smile spread across her lips. When she looked upwards back into his eyes only did he then remove his hand. She then proceeded to watch as he brought his slick fingers to his mouth as he licked them. With a shiver she could almost instantly see his eyes darken while he then sighed with a shiver of his own.
"See you later Granger..." His voice was deep and husky, more so than she has heard before. With that and a singular lift of his brows, she was alone once again.
Hermione thought she was in trouble before. At that moment she wasn't sure what she was going to do.
"I've seen that look in your eyes,
It makes me go blind,
Cut me deep,
These secrets and lies,
Storm in the quiet,
Feel the fury closing in,
Are we sisters wearing thin,
Nowhere to run from all of this havoc,
Nowhere to hide from all of this madness,
Madness, madness, madness..."

Monday November 25th, 1996
Half past eleven in the morning, In the court yard
The scent of damp leaves twisted in the chilled air as Ginny stepped slowly walked through the courtyard and back into the front doors of Hogwarts. She had been welcomed back the day before by teachers and students. It was strange to her that everyone seemed so concerned about how she was doing or feeling. The fact of the matter was, for the life of her could remember bits and pieces from her times with Theo. Whatever he had done, he had done right.
With a terse sigh, Ginny made her way through the hallways and back towards where the Gryffindor common rooms. This morning she had gone to visit Hagrid as well as Fang over a cup of tea. It was more because of the fact he had seemed to not believe her when she told him she was doing just fine. To put his mind at ease really.
Once she reached the stairs that lead to the entrance of the common rooms, she inhaled deeply preparing herself for someone to at the very least ask her how she was adjusting to being back. With a whisper of the password, she passed through the threshold and into the main area. Breakfast had been a little awkward for her, only because everyone acted as if she were going to break at any moment. It was rather annoying really.
When she made her way into the common rooms she thought at this time of day it would have been empty but it in fact was not quite. Harry sat alone on the red couch facing the fireplace looking like he was deep in thought. Ginny smiled softly, staring at him as he thought. Whatever was troubling him, she hoped that it would quickly resolve itself.
"What are you thinking about?" she wondered aloud making him jump at the sudden intrusion of silence. He turned to look at her through his large round rimmed glasses with a curious expression in place of his thoughts.
"Uh, nothin', just trying to understand what everyone is up to lately..." he mumbled. "This year is definitely different than other previous years."
"That's for sure." she laughed lightly before making her way over towards him. After taking her seat had she only realized just how close she had sat next to the green eyed wizard. Looking so closely into his eyes, she could see his evident concern he had for her while he looked into hers. "I want you to believe me when I say that I am fine Harry. I wouldn't be back if I wasn't."
"I know..." he whispered pushing up his glasses before smiling at her. "I just worry..."
His words made her cheeks heat up as she smiled back. "That's sweet of you. Harry" she said as she watched his cheeks fill with color when he realized what he had told her. Before he could say anything else she leaned forward and kissed his cheek without a second thought.
When she slowly backed away, she looked into his eyes and paused really close to him. Ginny could feel his warm breath bathing her face and she noted he smelled of chocolate and sugar plums, an scent that was for sure. That was when she saw his eyes look towards her lips as her tongue dipped out to dampen them. It was then that she let her eyes close as he leaned in to press his lips against hers softly. It was nice and warm. They were soft against hers as she moved her hand up to his hair while his arm snaked around her waist pulling her closer to him. The buzz of his skin on hers made her want to be as close as she could get.
Ginny gasped when Harry helped move her so that she was in his lap before he the proceeded to kiss her once more. Her legs straddled Harry's hips as their lips moved together. With one hand she guided his hand to her hip before she brushed her tongue with his. With her fingers still tangled in his hair she rocked her hips lightly peeling a groan from his mouth. The sound was something that made her want to do it again.
"Ginny..." he mumbled and she pulled backwards and realized that this wasn't another one of her dreams. This was actually happening.
"Harry, I am sorry I don't-" she slid backwards off of him not looking down at him but up feeling her face fill with heat.
"Ginny, it's not that," he chuckled lightly before taking his glasses off to clean them and leaning forward so that his feet were now on the ground again. "I just need to slow down... trust me you did nothing wrong- in fact you did the opposite..."
Ginny turned back towards Harry as he put his glasses back on and leaned forward with another deep breath. Then it hit her what had happened. He was turned on...
"Oh." she bit her lip in order to stop a small smile. When she was with Dean it never happened like that. Not that they had shagged but they snogged once a day maybe more. "Sorry..." she could help but a lightly laugh a little.
"Gin, don't be sorry..." he sighed awkwardly still avoiding looking at her. "I'm the one who is sorry to stop. I didn't want to really, but we probably should before, you know, something happened."
Ginny looked away now slightly unsure what to say because she liked what they were doing. It is obvious he like it too. The question now was, what now?
"I - I uh, said I would meet Hermione at the library for some studying during lunch so I have to get going but I will see you later?" she ran her hand through her hair with a smile as he looked at her.
"Yeah no, I have to go get something before lunch as well so yeah. See you Gin." He smiled still leaning forward off of the couch a bit.
With that she left the common rooms and she was now in desperate need to find Hermione.
