Hermione

I woke up. A dim light was seeping through the window. I looked around and saw a pile of neatly folded clothes for today: shorts and t-shirt, and my bra lay on top. My heart surged a little when I remembered we were in Paris. I heard soft breathing coming from the body pressed against my back; I turned my head on the fluffy pillow and gazed at Draco. As he slept I admired his long, pale eyelashes, and the golden shadow of stubble that had formed on his face since yesterday. I experienced an odd swelling sensation in my chest, that made me feel a little sad. I wanted to be close to him, as close as possible; he had never been further than a walk across the street in all of my eighteen years. Next year, we would be two-thousand miles apart; Draco in California, and I in Maine. Dubious thoughts about the arrangement floated into my head; I didn't try to push them away, I let each one speak its opinion. After, my heart felt like it was racing. Without noticing, I let out a long and loud sigh. Draco opened his eyelids, half drooping, and pulled me closer while his lips gently brushed my forehead.

"Good morning, mon cherie."

"Morning." I said, kissing him on the lips. He was tired, most likely because we had stayed up late to watch the Tour Eiffel sparkle at the top of every hour. Luna fell asleep soon after midnight out on the apartment's balcony, while the rest of us had somehow managed to stay awake for a while longer.

I could hear some people moving around in the kitchen, but I didn't move to get up. It was going to be a long day because Pansy's new friend Lev was taking us clubbing tonight. There was something unsettling about Lev; he seemed perfectly nice and charming, but this was a gut feeling I had. Maybe it was the eyes, they were a beguiling green and almost rimmed red. I had mistaken them for being bloodshot at first, but then saw them under better lighting before we left the restaurant. When you looked him in the eyes you could lose yourself, I had felt that last night when I had looked into his eyes and felt reality slip away. There was no doubt that Pansy had found Lev very alluring, but I knew that I couldn't warn her against him; she would never listen to me. I decided that I maybe should talk to Draco or Harry about it.

Harry

Hermione and Draco were on the dance floor, smiling and holding each other close. Ginny was near them, dancing with everyone, though it seemed that none of her partners spoke much English because every once and while someone would say something to her and she would shout above the music "WHAT? I DON'T SPEAK FRENCH." I found it rather amusing to watch. Luna sat at a table with a sandy-haired woman she had struck up a conversation with. I glanced back to where Pansy and Lev were dancing...or had been a minute ago. Hermione come to me with her concerns about Lev. Though I wasn't particularly fond of having to keep an eye on my stepsister, it was better than having something happen to her.

"Shit." I muttered, my eyes darting around. The club was packed and dimly lit, I couldn't make out the faces of many people on the dance floor. The beat started to change as it melded into another song. Hermione walked over to where I was near the bar, laughing and pulling Draco by the hand. "I absolutely love dancing!" she said, and she leaned against her boyfriend almost as if she were drunk.

"Have you seen Pansy?" I asked them loudly.

"No." Hermione said, immediately alert and turning her head in every direction to look.

Pansy

I felt giddy and was breathless with laughter.

"What are we doing?" I asked Lev in a loud whisper. It had been my idea to sneak out of the club, and Lev said that now we could have an adventure together.

"Shhh." he said to me with a mischievous grin twisting his lips. He grabbed my hand and we ran down the alley.

We emerged onto a street bright with neon lights and swarming with people. "So, what kind of an adventure do you want." he asked, walking along briskly with my hand still firmly clasped in his.

"Every kind of adventure! I want to walk on the edge; I want to break rules; I want to feel infinite; I want to feel alive. I want to...fuck people I barely know! And do great things, and see great things; but most of all, right now, I want to eat great things… I'm starving, is there anyplace we can go and get food?" I really was hungry all of a sudden. Lev laughed and brought my hand up to his mouth to kiss.

"Well, it just so happens, that you came to the right city; for all of those things!"

We first stopped and got some food, and when I no longer felt famished we began to make a more detailed plan about these adventures we were going to have.

He told me about a friend of his that was having a small party the next night, and he said that we'd start our adventure off there.

"What will the adventure be?" I asked him. His eyes twinkled when he looked at me.

"It will be a surprise." he said in a husky voice.

We had been walking around the streets of Paris for a while now. I checked my phone, and it said that it was 4 AM.

"Are you tired?" Lev asked. I shook my head. Lev stopped suddenly and turned to face me. I sighed as I looked up at him, losing myself in his eyes. But then I was losing myself on his mouth, as his lips pressed firmly against mine. I responded eagerly, kissing him back with a hungry fervor.

He pulled away "My apartment isn't far from here." he said with a trembling breath. I answered him by kissing him again. We ran to his apartment, and once inside the building began to passionately kiss again. He carried my up to his tiny flat, his mouth either on my lips, neck or collarbone the whole way.

Once inside, we quickly began to peel each others clothes' off. Kissing, and groping and biting, we fell into the bed. I moaned as he took one of my nipples into his mouth; I had never felt more aroused in my life as I felt at this moment.

"God, fuck me." I said to him.

"I thought you wanted me to fuck you." Lev said with mock hurt in his voice.

"Shut up, and do as you're told."
