Author's Note: Hey guys, welcome to step two. I'm glad to see that people are reading this. I do have a bit of a request though. Please, guys, leave me a review so I can know how I'm doing. And, please, go check out my other story 'Save You'. I promise that it, eventually, will be very good, with lots of 'content', if you know what I mean. ;). Anyways, on with the chapter. I might update again today, my fiancée is at work and I'm bored, so watch out! Happy reading.

Step Two: Want

Hermione sat in the common room in a daze. Had she really just agreed to be Draco Malfoy's possession. She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't notice Harry until he sat down next to her.

"Are you sure you'll be alright here by yourself Hermione? I can stay you know." Harry told her.

Hermione smiled and let her head fall on Harry's shoulder.

"I'll be fine Harry. Go and have fun with Ron and his family." Hermione told him, looking up at him.

"But, Hermione, I feel bad." Harry told her.

"Don't feel bad. You're not the cheater." Hermione replied, sitting up as the fat lady's painting swung open.

"Harry are you...oh...Hermione." Ron started, not knowing what to say.

"I'll see you when you get back Harry. Happy Christmas." Hermione announced, getting up and walking past Ron.

Ron looked after her, mostly at her ass.

"I'm an idiot." Ron sighed.

"Damn straight." Harry replied with a laugh.

Hermione made her way through the hustle and bustle of leaving students to the library. It was quieter than usual, seeing as there were only a few students in there. Most of them were just packing up their stuff and leaving. Hermione smiled at them as they passed her. She made her way to the back of the library and started looking for a book to read. Before she knew it she was alone...or so she thought.

"Looks like we have the place to ourselves." Draco announced, seeming to come out of thin air.

Hermione jumped and spun around, her hand on her heart.

"Draco...you scared me." Hermione told him, leaning against the shelves.

Draco chuckled at her and sat down on a couch, motioning for her to join him. Hermione slowly made her way to the couch and went to sit down. Draco's arm snaked around her waist and pulled her into his lap. She blushed and looked into his eyes.

"You seem troubled Hermione." Draco whispered, brushing a stray hair out of her face.

"No I don't." Hermione replied defensively, leaning into his touch absent minded.

"It's your eyes that give you away Hermione. They always have and always will." Draco told her, kissing her cheek.

Hermione sighed and slipped off his lap into the seat beside his.

"It's Ron." Hermione sighed.

Draco could have figured but it still pissed him off. He would need to erase Ron's memory...permanently. He would need to change his plans. Step two was supposed to be trust but not anymore. No, he had a better idea. He was going to make Hermione want him as bad as he wanted her. Never again would she even mutter that damn weasels name.

Hermione looked over to see Draco's pissed off expression and knew that she had said the wrong thing. She went to apologize but Draco cut her off.

"I can't believe that pathetic weasel is still in your thoughts." Draco started, leaning in close to her. "But don't worry, that will change after tonight." He paused as his hand snaked up Hermione's thighs, making her gasp and blush.

"Draco...not here." She whispered, biting her lower lip.

He cupped her like he had the night before and smirked when she closed her eyes in bliss.

"Meet me here tonight at nine. I'll make sure that weasel is out of your thoughts forever." Draco told her.

He leaned in and captured her lips, loving how she reacted instantly. He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Once he was sure he had put a bit of intrigue into her mind he pulled away and put his lips near her ear.

"Tonight, at nine. Don't make me come looking for you." Draco instructed her before getting up and walking away.

Hermione fell back into the couch breathless. Her head hurt. She all of a sudden had second thoughts. What if he wanted to have sex tonight? Was she even ready for sex? And what would happen if she said no? Oh god would he force himself on her? She let her head fall back and closed her eyes. Now what was she going to do? She had two options. The first was not to go at all, pass up on her chance to be with the sex god of the school, and pray that he didn't come 'find' her as he said he would. The second option was to just do as he said and hope for the best.

After a good hour of just sitting Hermione finally left the library and returned to her common room. Harry and Ron were sitting at a table playing wizards chess when she came in. Harry gave her a smile and Ron just looked down.

"Shouldn't you be gone by now Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Well we would have been. But Ginny insisted on talking to you about something beforehand. She's up in your bedroom." Harry replied.

Hermione looked at him confused and headed up to her bedroom. Ginny was sitting on her bed with a mixed look on her face.

"Is everything alright Ginny?" Hermione asked.

"I saw you, in the library...with Draco." Ginny announced.

Hermione looked at her wide eyed. Shit.

"I came looking for you, to wish you a happy Christmas before I left. And you two were all over each other." Ginny continued.

"Did you tell anyone?" Hermione asked frantically.

"I told Ron and Harry that I saw you in the library with a boy but I didn't say who." Ginny answered.

"Ginny, please, you have to keep this a secret." Hermione replied, her eyes pleading.

"I will, I will. But, answer one question for me first." Ginny told her.

"Sure, anything." Hermione replied, relieved.

"Is he a good kisser?" Ginny asked.

Hermione laughed and sat down, blushing.

"A very good kisser." Hermione told her.

"Who's a very good kisser?" Harry asked, walking into the room. "Because I know you aren't talking about Ron."

"You are Harry. I was just telling Hermione about last night." Ginny announced, winking at Hermione, as Harry leaned in and kissed her softly.

"Hopefully you didn't tell her everything." Harry replied with a wink.

"Oh my god stop. I'd rather talk to Ron then hear about that." Hermione laughed.

"Shhh...Ron doesn't know." Ginny whispered.

"Of course he doesn't. And don't worry, I won't tell. Now, get going before your mother has a fit." Hermione told them, ushering them out.

Ginny and Harry gave Hermione a quick hug before leaving. Hermione fell on her bed with a sigh. It was only four o'clock. She still had five hours before she was to meet Draco. She looked around the empty room, all of her roommates had gone away for Christmas, it was so quiet. Quiet enough for a nap. She smiled and laid down, falling asleep almost instantly.

Draco was at the library by eight fifty. He had been waiting there for almost fifteen minutes. Hermione was late. He was about to leave when he heard footsteps coming. He rounded the corner and caught Hermione in his arms as she bumped into him.

"Your late." Her said coolly.

"I fell asleep." Hermione told him, straightening herself out.

"So you'll be nice and energetic for tonight then." Draco told her erotically, pushing her against the wall.

He went to kiss her but Hermione stopped him.

"Draco, I want to know one thing before we do...this." Hermione told him.

"What is it?" Draco asked impatiently, kissing her neck and making it hard for her to concentrate.

"Do you love me?" Hermione asked, stopping his ministrations. "Or am I just another notch in your belt?"

Draco looked at her. Why did she have to ask that? He racked his brain for an answer. Of course he loved her but he couldn't let her know that. Not without making sure she had the same feelings. His silence worked against him.

"That's what I thought." Hermione announced, pushing him away and starting to head back to the common room.

"Hermione, wait." Draco tried.

"Go to hell Malfoy." Hermione called, resorting to using his last name in anger.

Draco watched her walk away and cursed.

"Damn it!"

Now he had to figure out a way to fix this. He turned away and headed back to his common room, racking his brain for solutions.
