Chapter 7: Flashbacks of a blissful 7th year
(A/N: Before I start with the real continuation of the previous chapter, I got a review stating that I should include Harry's POV. I think it's a brilliant idea, however if I include Harry's POV I would be spilling too much of my plot (This story actually has a plot. ;)) Anyway, Harry is too stereotype in this story to actually have a POV, Draco and Hermione are the main characters. Anyway, instead of giving Harry a POV, I decided to give Hermione a flashback and this chapter will only be her POV and no one else but hers instead of how she and Harry started out. This will be the last Hermione and Harry portion of the story and I'm really sorry about it and just so you want to know, this might be shorter than the other chapters. I will explain why she had this flashback in the next chapter and of course since I am a faithful Draco and Hermione shipper, I'll be adding something like that in this chapter. Just read on.
WARNING: This chapter contains a bit of mature content. DON'T READ IF YOU HATE THOSE KINDS OF STUFF! I suggest you find another story! Plus this chapter contains the usage of nicotine so please no flames for that, but you can be rest assured that only this chapter contains it.
Disclaimer: I own nothing not even Harry POTTER! Just the plot and some original characters.

A/N: Sorry it took me this long to update but I'm glad you guys waited, it's just that here in our country school started and it's getting a lot harder for me to write, my home works are weighing me down especially with some pedantic teachers to say the least. I hope I can update more often than usual. So people, here's what I'll say...this chapter is SHORTER than the others.
On with the story...
Flashback (Hermione's POV)
And so I was in my last year in Hogwarts, a year that I can hardly endure. Every moment made me suffer, especially the idea of sharing a common room with the world's biggest prick, Draco Malfoy. Every night I spend having raucous rows with him in the common room and almost every night I get threatened by no other than Professor McGonagall of losing my badge. Typical. Very typical, it's as though I am not the actual girl who is saying this. Smart and Logical Granger, that's me but everything changed when Malfoy went to live with me in a common room. Everything changed all right! The Slytherin bully bullied me more than ever!
"...and so those wars became one of the most eminent wars that were ever written in the pages of history"
I sighed, Professor Binns woke me up from my inane stupor and I'm glad he did. I took down focal notes as he droned on and on. It's not actually usual of me to find this class...tedious but I was completely dazed by the tone of his voice and the hell of the weather wasn't helping me one bit. The warmth of the classroom made my eyes droop, his class actually had all the ingredients to put up a soporific discussion, and I could hardly keep my eyes open with this weather. But being me, head girl of Hogwarts, I must keep my studies on safe ground and that is what I'm actually doing for the past years.
I was listening hard to every word he uttered; his voice was soporific it was like a sedative. I yawned and so did the others, so hell I decided to do something before I actually give up and sleep, this class is as interesting as watching a plant grow. Lame. Really lame.
After adding a few more words to my notes, I glanced at Harry who was hopelessly immersed with his notes. Notes? Did I say notes? Since when did Harry become so assiduous? After Sirius died, Ron and I thought Harry could never get over it. Often times we tried and talked to him but he pushed us away. He was leaving his studies behind by spending every other night with a girl Ron and I didn't know about, Harry changed a lot since Sirius died and his friends couldn't even help him. We can't help him in the least, there are just a few of the times when we see him laughing or smiling and this was one of those times.
Several times I thought that Harry would lose his position as Quidditch captain and hell it's all because of his temper. We already lost 2 times in a row and it's against Slytherin, I couldn't stand Malfoy for months, he was actually rubbing the subject every night.
Harry never spent his time practicing or doing his homework, it's all spent on some girl.
I used to think this guy was a player and the idea of him sleeping with different girls each night made me feel quite jealous. I used to have this minor fling on Harry, I know it's childish and inane but it's true.
What took me out of my torpor was Ron's hideous laugh; I shot him a look for distracting other students and mainly me. Being a head girl wasn't easy. I guess he didn't notice because he clearly said, "I win Harry, you lose. I can't believe you didn't spot that!" and then he went off laughing again, not bothering to keep his voice down. I shook my head; sometimes Ron can be so unbelievable. They were only a few inches away from me so I tilted my head forward to see what the two were doing. I saw that both of them were deeply engrossed in playing a round of tic-tac-toe, how puerile! I rolled my eyes and snatched the paper away from Harry's hand when the teacher's back was turned.
"Hey!" Ron protested loudly, I simply gave him a glare.
"You two should be listening and not doing some other stuff not related to this subject! I'm confiscating this!" I whispered promptly
"You know what?!" Ron asked heatedly
"What?"
"You were better off being a prefect than a head girl!"
"That's right! That's why they made me head girl and that's why you were never head boy" I said
"Yeah...you're right! By and by you're going to end up like Professor McGonagall"
"I'll take that as a compliment" I said with a firmer tone, I think this minor thing I just did will engage a fight between Ron and I so I decided to shut up before I can say more.
Harry just stared at the both of us without saying anything. He just smiled at me then said, "Aww, Mione sometimes you're no fun"
At least someone isn't angry even though he must be the one who should be angry. I'm quite surprised at Harry then I was at Ron. Harry was a lot less moody than he was in the past few weeks and he wasn't engaging any disputes with me or Ron.
"Well Harry, I am no fun but at least I am listening and you should do the same"
He just smiled and went back talking to Ron. I wish he hadn't because when he did, I was right back to where I was before...PURE BOREDOM. I glanced at my notes and decided they were enough, if Professor Binns was to give a test tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting high marks and these two, Ron and Harry will have to copy my notes tonight. I sighed, sometimes both of them can be unbelievable but oh well, they were boys.
As he droned on the weather became more unbearable than ever, I tried my best to listen aptly but the heat of the sun was falling on my face leaving tiny crystal beads of sweat on my forehead and on my upper lip. I took my ribbon and tied my hair up with much difficulty, having a bushy hair on a hot weather like this was murder.
I caught a few words uttered by Ron mainly this, "You should go for it, Harry. I mean before she's taken..."
"Yeah, I think I should, she's a good catch isn't she?"
"You bet she is"
They were talking in hush whispers but I caught their words quite distinctly.
I don't hell know what they were talking about, probably another girl Harry was hitting on but I found myself too sleepy to care.
I felt really dazed now that the room was circling over me, the heat his voice but most especially his voice...it's making me sleepy. The last thing I saw was Harry eyeing me and that was when I gave up.
I was in a manor I was never in before, a very big manor to be exact and I was in the balcony staring out at the big vast star draped sky. Cool air was brushing my hair and was sending chills down my neck. I didn't know where the hell I was but to my surprise, I didn't care. It actually felt good just being there.
I checked myself and God! Did I look like a real slut! I was wearing a deep blue dress whose neckline reached just right below my navel. I looked at myself completely in disbelief; what the freaking hell am I wearing? I touched my back and noticed the dress consisted of a long zipper. I can't believe that I'm actually wearing something as uncomfortable as this. There seems to be a lot of questions lurking in my mind and there is not one that I can answer like where the hell I am, what the hell I am doing here and lastly what I am doing in this dress.
I took a deep breath.
"I see you've chosen to come" said a deep manly voice
I turned around to see an outline of a man.
I was actually going to say "Who the hell are you?!" but instead what flowed out of my mouth was, "Yes because I want to know and I want to straighten a few things out with you, I have a lot of questions and I think I deserve a good answer from you."
I didn't even know what I am saying, I'm not the one who is speaking, I didn't even know who I was talking to! God! Where the hell am I anyway?
He stepped forward to reveal himself, he was very sexy and burly indeed, I could see the contour of his muscles through the moonlight. He was completely nude in nothing but a towel draped over his lower torso, halting just below his knees, he still had a nice and moist body but who he was? I did not know.
The face remained indistinct for it was shadowed by the roof above us, all I knew was that several strands of his hair was falling to his face. I wanted really badly to know who this person was but I found that rather difficult at the moment.
"Please step into the moonlight" was what I intended to say instead what came out was a question.
"Why? Please tell me why" I asked and I just stared at my hands in disbelief. I didn't know what I was talking about but it seems like my present condition does know.
"Do you really want to know why?" he asked
I noticed the seriousness of his tone and I also noticed the familiarity of it, the insolence, the harshness and arrogance, it all fits but its kind of odd...it just can't be.
"Do you want to know why?" he demanded
I nodded against my will. He knows who I am, this person knows me but I didn't know who he was but the voice was oddly familiar. It sounded like someone's voice, my enemy's voice, a voice that wasn't supposed to be engaging a conversation with me.
"Pain, Hermione...Pain"
I turned my back on him, glad for the first time that I did an action on my will and I faced the sky.
"That's not the real reason" I said, sighing
"It is, partially but I already told you the real reason why" he said with a tone of serenity
"But it's not true!" I said gripping the railings of the balcony harder, beads of sweat forming on my forehead despite the coldness of the wind, "You know it isn't true"
"You don't even hell know what is true or not!" he replied coldly
I looked at him with imploring eyes and said, "No please—"
He gave me a look that made me shut up. A look that is most uncommon of him, a look of lustful and lewd desire. I looked away, hoping he would leave me alone but he just stood there and looked at me. I began to sweat and suddenly a feeling of fear permeated me.
"Just don't argue with me because you know it isn't true, you would tumbling the whole world down if you claim it is"
I don't hell know what I'm talking about nor who I'm talking to and to tell honestly my actions proved me to be a real nutter, gripping the railings as if I was going to fall. God this girl isn't me.
His hands snaked around my small waist as his lips whispered to my ear, "It is true and you know it. You cannot distinguish what is truth from what I feel Hermione even if I was to disclose it to you. Believe me this is me speaking, you know that it is true, your actions even responded to it...it is true you just choose to deny it"
His voice was deep and husky and the way he spoke to my ear made several neck hairs of mine to stand up. His voice is so familiar but I can't just justify it. He started kissing my neck down to the bare shoulder leaving several marks behind.
But I shoved him away and said,
"No you can't! You can't possibly love me—"
Suddenly he turned me around so I would be facing him, his hands left my waist and went to my shoulders. He was pushing me to the railings as if threatening to let me fall. When he did, his face touched the moonlight and I realized who he was but I can't even say it, it isn't even true!
I'm actually facing Draco Malfoy, his grey eyes filled with ardent anger, his face illuminated by the light of the moon. My real reaction would have been to break free and run as fast as I could but I just stood there facing him, rooted hopelessly on the spot.
I didn't even bother to look at him when he said harshly, "Don't you think I tried not loving you?"
I faced him then said coldly, "Then try harder!"
I was trying to break free but he held me tighter in place.
Was this guy for real? Does he really love me? This is all too much crap to be true! Honestly, the arrogant sex god Draco Malfoy loving the brainy Hermione Granger of Hogwarts, this idea is absolutely laughable but seeing his face contorted with pain and anger like that told me it wasn't.
But he wasn't listening to me, he continued and said, "Do you think I wasted all those times just contemplating about you? Do you think I like this feeling I have now?"
He was actually shaking my shoulders and I wasn't bothering to look at him. "Do you think I like it when I feel the need of having you the moment I touch you? God Hermione, I wish I could wish these feelings I have for you away but I can't, you know I can't. Hell I can't believe I love and need and lust over my most hated enemy but I'll die with the scars I have inside if you leave me..."
"Draco I...---"
"Do you even know what pain is?" he said now taking me from the railings
In all honestly, this is the first time I couldn't answer a question. I don't know what pain is to him and to tell honestly, I don't know myself. So I shook my head then he looked at me angrily and pushed me to the hard, cold stone wall harshly.
I looked at him, frightened out of my wits; I shut my eyes out of fright.
"Then hell, Granger" he said angrily "I'll make you feel pain!"
He pushed me harder to the wall that my head banged on it and so suddenly his lips clashed into mine as I opened my eyes in amazement. Malfoy is kissing me, my normal reaction would have been to push him away and gladly I did it but he bit my lip which made my mouth open in pain and he welcomed his own tongue inside. The next thing I knew, I was already responding to him, kissing him with deep fiery passion.
I closed my eyes as we kissed; his brutality certainly left scars on my lips. I placed my arms around his neck as his hands snaked on my waist. As I began to stroke his platinum hair, his callused hands traveled from my waist to the skin that the neckline revealed. His hand moved from my navel to north, to the line that separates my two breasts. When he did, he traced it with his callused finger in congruence to the motions of his tongue, I moaned into his mouth.
I can't believe I'm doing this with the Slytherin's biggest prick! I can't believe I'm shagging Malfoy and I was actually enjoying it.
I threw my head back as his kiss deepened and fell upon my neck while his hand worked wonders and made its way into the dress I was wearing. His hands made its way in and stroked my breasts as I moaned.
He went back to kiss me and his hand traveled south, to a part no one ever touched and he reached inside. It was place that is most sacred about me and I vowed that no one should ever travel to that place except the man that I love.
His kiss deepened once again when his mouth traveled to my neck, kissing and sucking the delectable skin I was offering to him.
His other hand reached for the zipper while my hand reached for the knot that held his towel on his waist. Next thing I knew, I was wonderfully half naked in front of him. I smiled at him as he was looking at me with his clear grey eyes and I was expecting him to say something but what I was not expecting was an insult.
"You're a mudblood and you know that" he said harshly
I felt the smile slowly fade away from my face.
"But no matter what blood may run through your veins no one can deny that you are beautiful"
With those words he made me smile again, I was wonderfully naked in front of him and in front of the moonlight but none of us seemed to care.
"This is pain, Hermione" he said "Knowing that the person you love loves another guy"
"What are you trying to imply?" I asked
Seriously, the Slytherin prince couldn't love the Gryffindor princess, Can he?
He just looked into my eyes and said nothing more than these words, "You know what I am trying to imply, I...."
My eyes rounded and I couldn't believe it
"Then if you do, make me feel it" I said
He smirked and pulled me tighter for his kiss and our tongues battled once more.
I smiled at him and pulled the knot that held his towel in place.
"This is what I feel for you Granger"
I smiled
"But I feel like you can't return this feeling for me"
I woke up and felt my head stirring, I was trying to get the room in a clearer focus but everything seems like a blur. I heard dissipated voices and several murmurs and the Professor sounding as if he was about to leave.
Finally when everything was in focus, the first person I saw was Malfoy, staring at me. I immediately jumped away from my seat, quickly remembering my dream.
"Had a nice nap, Granger?" he asked haughtily looking at me as if I'm nothing more than a mere insect.
"What are you doing here, Malfoy?" I asked in the same tone as he asked me. I noticed that he was alone and not with the usual cronies he usually brings not even the big-mouthed Blaise Zabini, thank GOD!
For once I won't be enduring a Slytherin who seems to be eyeing me in an eerie way.
I noticed that most of the students cleared out, even Ron and Harry. Traitors, they should be waiting for me! Now, I have to talk to this idiot and no one is going to talk him out of this. I'm not good in those kinds of stuff, Ron and Harry is.
Students didn't care about the sight that was greeting them; I guess they were far too interested in getting out of this class than to look at what was going on.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to remind you of you're big meeting that you planned for tonight"
My eyes opened wide, he was right! There was a meeting tonight and I have to be there or else well...I don't know what would happen to me if I don't show up, I'll end up losing my badge, most probably but the thing that obliged me to go is that, I planned the stupid meeting.
The meeting is about the new rules I was about to implement with the consent of the other prefects and of course I hate to say it, the headboy. Which means Malfoy will most probably be rejecting every idea I say which means this meeting won't work out well, the mere thought of that idea made me infuriated.
"What's the matter little mudblood? Some things slipped your mind?" he asked sarcastically
"Will you shut the hell up and just get the hell out of my sight?" I shouted totally losing it. I hate it when Malfoy reminded me of stuff that I usually don't forget about and what's more I hate it when he rubs it on my face.
"Not in a good mood, Granger?" he said
"Definitely not!" I said "So now, if you please just clear out, I have more important matters to deal with than talk to an inane person like you"
He smirked and as I just as I was about to gather my books he so suddenly sneered, "Something is stuck on your hair by the way but that's not a surprise isn't it, Granger? Knowing that a precocious girl like you keeps an immense stack of hair to keep her brain safe in a nest"
Several students who passed snorted but they stopped when I gave them a glare.
He then passed and went out of the room smirking at a few girls along the hallway who just sighed. Gits, I thought. They wouldn't be like that if they totally knew his true colors.
Thank God he was gone at last there will be no more harsh insults about my hair.
You see, in my last year, the thing that got me so heated up with Malfoy is my hair, if he doesn't have anything else to complain about, he usually complains about my hair and blames it for absolutely anything at all. Like my hair is too big that he can't concentrate or my hair is unusually big that he is distracted by it, stuff like that. No. CHILDISH stuff like that.
There was once when I was still in third year, he was eating Drooble's Best Blowing Gum and he approached me on the hallway and said he needed ink, I noticed that he wasn't being entirely serious so I told him to sod off but it was the wrong thing to say cause the moment I did his gum popped and clouded my head and he was just there laughing his arse off. Harry and Ron, being guys defended me but I wish they hadn't, they got detention and what's more, they lost us 25 points each. Snape was in a vindictive mood that time and guess what? Malfoy got away with murder. I was totally bewildered by what he did, considering the amount of hair I lost on that particular day but having a bushy hair was an asset, not much hair was damaged.
We had a row about that small matter but that was in third year so it was quite understandable but now, hell he was giving me a hard time just by existing. The fact that he exists makes it unbearable for me to live, several times I find myself wishing that I wasn't head girl.
I just glared at him and thought about my hair, maybe I should straighten it, I thought for a while but then I decided against it, if Malfoy abhors it so much, why give him the comfort of seeing it gone when it fact it annoys him so much?
I gathered my stuff and walked out of the room but as I did, I noticed a small piece of paper that fell out from my hair. I bent down and picked it up and noticed it was from Harry himself, the traitor who left me to deal with the Slytherin prick. God, the thought angered me.
I unfolded it and saw Ron's handwriting with Harry's signature. It was clear that Harry was kind of forced into this because his signature looked wobbly as though in a hurry.
Hermione,
I didn't want to wake you up since you looked so peaceful when you were asleep (It sounded as if I was dead a while ago) but anyway, Ron and I had Quidditch practice and when the bell rang we decided to go right away. Anyway, I'll see you in the great hall and if I don't, I'll see you in one of the balconies near the Gryffindor Dormitory.
Sincerely yours,
Harry
I crumpled the note and inserted it in my pocket as I did I realized I still had Ron and Harry's paper, the one I confiscated a while ago. I picked it up from my pocket and looked at it. Surely, Ron won; his symbols were RW while Harry's was HG...weird? Why HG? Must be some girl he slept with two or three nights ago.
I flipped the paper and saw that Harry filled it out with his initial, HJP. Cute. Very cute but a bit childish.
I went out of the room and proceeded to my dormitory and gladly, Malfoy wasn't there. I dumped my stuff and went out as quickly as I could before I could catch Malfoy entering and before I could catch another row with him.
But all my endeavors were in vain for as I went out there he was, crowded with his usual gang, the two wrestlers, the faggot and the banshee. Of course this portrait wouldn't be complete if he wasn't there, the ferret. They were a laughable crowd really, but that didn't stop him for being so arrogant and that didn't stop them from strutting around the school like they owned it. Several students actually fear them. No—let me rephrase that several students actually fear him!
Pansy kept looking at him as they were walking, like a lovesick puppy. I don't know what the hell she sees in him and I don't understand the other girls at all, why they drool so much when they see him. Honestly, if I see Malfoy strutting around, all I see is a frog having a platinum hair and nothing more.
And to think he slept with many girls. Honestly, I think he is the only guy who can beat Harry at that.
I tried my best to be left unnoticed by their crowd by crouching low hiding in between several students but Malfoy had a sharp eye for he spotted me right away.
"Ahhh Granger, Remember your stupid meeting and don't be late" he said and smirked then went away.
The smirk he just gave me was so familiar that I felt my nightmare rewinding in my mind fast. It became more vivid and more familiar. I instantly forgot about that dream when I woke up but the moment he gave me that smirk made me remember it.
Me shagging Malfoy?
No freaking way! As I thought of it beads of sweat formed on my head and I began to panic. What made me do that? Even though it's just a dream it seemed so real and I actually felt his rough touches and I made me feel dirty. I hated it. I hated the dream and after that I vowed to forget it.
Little did I know that I couldn't.
I entered the Great Hall and searched for Harry but to no one's surprise, he wasn't there.
So, I sighed and sat down and began to eat my dinner. Roasted Chicken and boiled potatoes, yum. I tried my best to be satisfied with what I ate but I couldn't and it was all because of the dream I had this afternoon. The vague dream I had about me and Malfoy making out, it was absurd, really but somehow it made me feel really weird. Now every time I get near him, I have this feeling of nausea over me. Ick! Malfoy and me making love? What could be more oblivious?
I finished the rest of my dinner and headed out to give a head start on my home work which I can never neglect and I started out with History of Magic but as I did, I noticed that it started to rain. I sighed, Harry should be done by now but there's no way I'll be meeting him, he'll have to wait, my homework has to go first.
I heard the doorknob click, which meant our dear old ferret was home. I groaned, I was so much accustomed to using the common room for home works, especially with the roaring fire on a rainy night like this but then again, what's working when there's a nuisance bothering you?
I gathered my books and quickly got up and I heard him say, God! I could even feel him smirk! "Where are you going, Granger? Didn't you miss me?—don't forget the—"
I shut my door before he could utter another word and breathed a sigh of relief. I plopped down on my bed quickly and began to study, I opened the History of Magic book first but when I did, my notes fell out along with Harry's note or rather Ron's note. I stared at it for a long time and began to ponder. I just kept looking at it without actually doing anything.
Oh hell! Of all the things that could disturb me it had to be this! Harry's going to hell for this soon! I decided that I'm too hell distracted to continue on studying, so I went out without any robes, just my uniform, only the white blouse and the skirt which became ruffled, unfurled and untucked(Word says there is no such word, don't know the appropriate one) after I plopped down at my bed. I had Harry's note on my other hand and I busted out of the door, it was a good thing Malfoy was no longer in sight, enduring him won't be necessary.
I went out of the common room in haste to find Harry, it wasn't that late yet since many students were still buzzing around, I'm surprised that many of them were not even in their rooms making their home work! I passed through a bunch of Slytherin fifth years and hurried over and then...
"Ms. Granger!"
My, oh my! I am in trouble
"Yes Professor?" I said innocently looking straight at Professor McGonagall's eyes.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Her question puzzled me; I wasn't doing anything that is actually wrong except not doing my homework. I stared at her and gave her no reply.
"What I mean, Ms. Granger is that, why are you not in your proper uniform?" she eyed me from head to foot "and what are you doing roaming around without your head girl badge?"
My badge! She was right, it was supposed to be a major offense on a head girl if she doesn't wear her badge, especially when she's out, it is the only sign of authority we have. How could I forget? That was rule 7! Head boys and girls aren't allowed to dock points without their symbols of authority. GOD! DAMN YOU MALFOY!
"I'm really sorry, Professor. I was in a hurry to get my books from the Great Hall where I left them a while ago; I want to get started as soon as I can with my homework you see...." I said coming up with a lame excuse
She eyed me suspiciously then she smiled, "Oh well, I suppose if it is for the benefit of your learning I can excuse you but for this slight irresponsibility you showed me, I'll be taking 5 points from Gryffindor"
I just smiled at her and she went, she punished my own house for MY mistake or rather a head girl's mistake, aren't we supposed to be the one who should be docking points?
"That's 10 fucking points from Ravenclaw and if you don't get out of my face, I'll make it fifty" I heard a cold voice from behind
"Malfoy?"
God! The feeling of nausea was all over me again as I saw him holding the poor third year's neck close to the wall. I wanted to scram and leave but I couldn't, it was my job to teach him what's right and what he's doing now most certainly isn't.
"Oh, it's you mudblood, what are you doing here other than being dead and not existing in this already miserable life of mine?" he said placidly still holding the third year hard on his neck and if my eyes weren't deceiving me, he was starting to go blue.
"Malfoy, release him or you'll kill him!" I shrieked
He smirked, "It would do him good!"
But he released him anyway, the little boy was still gasping for breath when he ran,
"You're such a bully, that boy can take away your badge from you by telling a teacher"
"He won't"
"What makes you so sure?" I asked him testily
"He'll be getting a round two with Crabbe and Goyle if he does" he said leaning on the wall smirking at a few girls who passed who hopelessly sighed over him; I cocked my eyebrow at them.
I rolled my eyes, Malfoy is so childish!
"What are you doing here anyway? Weren't you in the dormitory?" I asked
"I fancied a walk, Granger"
"A walk? Is that so?" I snorted "Well, you shouldn't be abusing your position by docking off points—"
"He stepped on my shoe"
I stared at him; he docked ten points from Ravenclaw for no reason at all.
"Well, what are you doing here anyway?" he asked "Aren't you supposed to be up in your little room doing all your homework and my homework..."
I glared at him and said, "Save it! I'm doing nothing for tonight!"
And with that I left him.
Finally, I reached the Quidditch field, it was raining mad but I can still see Harry swirling around in the sky. Damn, nothing can stop that guy! I was getting soaked and he was still there up in the sky turning around as if rain didn't matter. Seventh years were actually allowed to stay late in the Quidditch pitch, if they are players and only if there is a practice but I can see no one around except Harry, not even Ron.
I strode across the field, the rain pouring down more than ever which reminded me, I was only wearing my blouse and I had a black silk bra on. When I looked down, it was beginning to show! But I guess that won't matter, Harry may be a guy but he is my friend right?
I shouted for him, again and again but I guess he didn't hear me. Who would? With the roar of thunder and the pound of rain it would be a great achievement to hear a lion roar in that field. He only stopped when he saw me, then he went down purposefully. I noticed that he was not in his Quidditch uniform but a white loose shirt and his school pants....
Since he was already drenched, I can already see his contour and God! Harry had an amazing contour. I blushed when he finally reached land and asked, "What is it, Hermione?"
I looked at him and awkwardly said, "Well, you will catch a cold you know..."
He smiled and said "Don't worry, is that why you came?"
"No—"
"Ron and I were actually searching for the snitch which we lost when he accidentally threw me that Quaffle, I spent over an hour looking for the snitch, it's school property we can't afford to lose it, I just found it since the weather was not agreeing with us and mostly because it's really dark..."
"Well, I'm glad you found it!" I said, I could think of nothing else to say
"Yeah, I think I'm going to return it tomorrow"
We started walking in to the castle when he said, "God, Hermione! You're as drenched as I am"
I blushed when his eyes fell onto my blouse whose bra was already showing but to my surprise, he just smiled and pulled me to a hug. I heard someone give a horrendous laugh from behind but I didn't care.
"You really shouldn't have come"
I smiled, Harry is warm despite his cold shirt and body from the rain, he is warm and that is the way I like him to be. I thought he wouldn't be this warm after Sirius died but it turns out, I'm wrong.
I smiled at him as we pulled apart and then I remembered his note.
"Harry, the real reason I came was because of the note, I couldn't study because of it, I wanted to know what you want to talk to me about, you said you wanted to see me in one of the balconies near the Gryffindor Dormitory but I was doubting that since I didn't see you in the Great Hall so I came to see you instead which reminds me, Have you and Ron had any dinner yet?"
"Yeah we did" he said awkwardly scratching his head "Anyway, I want you to teach me something in Arithmancy, I didn't quite understand something about the last chapter"
I nodded and we went to the Gryffindor common room, he took out blankets for us and then we went out to one of the balconies and studied together. I honestly miss being here, here with the other Gryffindors and students, here in the common room with Ron and Harry and everyone else. I just miss being here instead of that dormitory with him. I hate it, but I had no choice!
Harry conjured two chairs for us to sit down, I looked at the sky the rain had stopped and several stars started to show. I sat down and began explaining to Harry some principles facts and theories, I went as slow as I could so that he would catch everything I'd say.
But to my surprise Harry wasn't even paying attention, he was just there staring at me and my quill, when I asked him if he understood he shook his head and asked me to explain again and so I did, God! The things I do for my friends.
So again, I explained much slower this time while twirling the quill in my hand and I asked him for the fourth time if he understood again he didn't, I had enough, Harry was wasting my time, it was already half past 12 and I haven't started on any homework yet, even the sky was clear and still he wasn't getting it.
I looked at Harry and firmly, "Harry, are you trying to waste my time or are you just playing around?"
He suddenly came out of his stance and said, "I'm sorry, Hermione. I didn't catch it please try it one more time, please?"
I looked at him and saw that he was desperate and sighed
"Okay, one last time"
So again, I attempted to teach him but then this time, he wasn't just paying attention, he was totally distracting me. He took the quill from my hand but he was listening...
"Harry I—"
"Just go on, I'm listening"
So I began, feeling a bit annoyed. I was yapping and yapping on until he traced the feather quill on my face...
What the freaking hell was Harry doing?
"Harry I—"
"Shh, just proceed" he said placing a finger on my trembling lips. Harry was actually turning me on and if he proceeds with this, I just might not be able to teach him anymore, I'm so overly distracted with his quill playing!
So I continued but the quill was really distracting it was tracing my face and sort of caressing it until it went down to my neck. I licked my lips and pretended that I didn't notice and began to explain but when his quill reached down my cleavage, I realized he'd gone too far.
I rose up my chair and said, "Harry, I—"
But before I could even finish my sentence he pushed me down to the chair and silenced me with his own lips. That startled me, that startled me a lot, I didn't realize it for a whole minute that Harry was kissing me. I kissed him back and he continued to caress my face with that feather quill of his...
I love that feather quill! I just can't believe that I'm having my first kiss with Harry POTTER!
After I broke apart I didn't know what to say but I was glad he was the one who had to say something...
"Look at the sky"
I did as he told me too and then I saw it, he formed it with the stars. This was very advanced magic, I didn't know how Harry did it but I was truly amazed, there in the sky, glittering like a thousand diamonds was written....
Will you be my girlfriend?
I looked at Harry and smiled, I guess that smile was a good answer because he kissed me again. We walked back into the room and I asked, "So, I guess that's why you sent me the note in the first place"
He smiled, sat on the cushion and said, "Yeah but I wouldn't have done it if Ron didn't pursue the plan, he was the one who actually thought of it"
I smiled, so that's why they were so noisy in Professor Binn's class.
"Anyway, you and Ron are the only ones I have now that Sirius is gone and I wish to keep you both much closer to me..."he said and motioned me to sit on his lap. I blushed and said, "Harry, I don't—"
"Come on!"
I blushed but I did as he said....I thought of his question and pondered about it, will I be his girlfriend? Is this for real? Or am I just one of those other girls she's toying with. I may be Harry's friend but I am not cheap, I don't want to end up like one of those girls he left because of his mounting irate and despondence, I want to make sure I was just not another one of those things Harry considers a pillar to let all his anger and sadness out. I want to make sure that if I am truly to be his girlfriend; it will be something I won't regret.
So I said...
"Harry, what about those other girls?" I asked
He looked at me and said, "What about them?"
"Well, won't they be distraught if they found out if I am going out with you now?"
"They will be but who cares, you're mine now"
I began to stand up from his lap and looked him squarely at his intoxicating green eyes, "Harry, if I am to be your girlfriend, I want to make sure you're not playing..."
"But I'm not!"
"I'm not so sure about that..."
He stood up and held both of my hands and looked at me then said, "Hermione, look, I didn't even know those girls at first, they were nothing but mere girls whom I merely used to release my anger and sadness but you, you're my friend and I will never do anything that will break your heart...never. Because I know you better and you are someone who doesn't readily give her heart to someone unless you trust him"
I smiled, he is right, the part of the girls was a bit rude though but I didn't care, Harry is being honest and I should be too.
"Honestly Harry, I do love you as a friend before but it developed into something more as we began to mature, I know it sounds childish but it's true"
He smiled at me and then we went back to our normal position, to where we were before...
After a while, I realized that it was already around 1 past and I didn't make any home work yet so I decided that I should go so I said, "Harry, thanks for the night, I should be going, I still have some work to do..."
He nodded and I gave him a kiss on the cheek and went out.
When I went out I had this feeling of euphoria in me, a feeling no one could quite take away from me, I was so happy I felt like nothing was about to go wrong. Nothing can go wrong now that HARRY IS MY BOYFRIEND!
A broad smile was plastered on my face, I was so happy!
When I entered the common room, I knew I was very much wrong. The room was already dark; the fire had been put out. I crept in silently when a cold voice gave me a sudden hiatus.
"Where are you going, still early isn't it?"
Malfoy was still up and now that he was, I had to endure him but surprisingly in the dark room, I couldn't see him. That's when I knew that I was in danger; in a dark room with a Malfoy is not a good idea.
"Malfoy, quit playing childish games, I have to do some home work"
"Easy for you to say, you didn't have to go and say there really wasn't a meeting tonight"
My eyes widened, he was right! I missed the meeting because I was caught up with Harry! How could I? Oh my god! How could I be so careless??? Oh my God! And to think I was already so happy...
"That's right Granger, you messed up and it was all because of you entangled love life" he said with a hint of malice
"You knew?" I asked sharply
"Of course, I'd be glad to spread the word if you want"
"How?"
"Saw you both hugging like overly distressed fucking love bears"
"So if you were there, why didn't you warn me about the meeting?" I asked
"Didn't want to ruin the moment for you..."
I glared at every place I thought he was in and said, "Well, thanks for caring at the wrong moment!"
Then I began stomping toward my dormitory but just as I pulled the door, Malfoy came out and closed it with a loud thud.
"Just because you thought I was done with you, it doesn't mean I'm actually done with you, Granger, I want to straighten a few things out with you!" he said then he pulled me down by one arm.
"Ouch! You're hurting me!" I said
With his note and arrogance, I knew he was angry, he was more than angry, he was furious and now I am in deep trouble for causing it. I don't hell know what to do now that I am stuck in this room with a dragon that is about to blow.
He dragged me down as if I was just some rag doll and he lit up the fireplace with his wand and made me sit down on the cushion. I wonder what he was gonna talk about; I hope it isn't too long or my home work will have to wait later then I realized why am I giving time to a total prick?
I stood up and said, "I have some work to do if you have something to say it'll have to wait till later—"
He pushed me down back on my seat with incredible force and that's when I realized I really had no choice so I sat silently and waited for him to talk and hoped that whatever he might say or I might say... it wouldn't aggravate his anger.
I looked at him from across the room and saw that he had nothing on but his school pants; his hair was slightly becoming undone from that slick look. I studied his contour and noticed he had a better contour than Harry, I hate to say it. He was better than Harry, his abs was perfect, he was more like sculpted than molded. I just stared until his voice interfered with my trance
"Liked your subject, Granger? Take a picture, it'll last longer" he said coldly
"Don't flatter yourself!" I mumbled
"But of course, you had more to see this night, in Potter's room I presume...both of you were having a little...adventure" he said eyeing my silk bra which was already showing because of the opened buttons
I blushed and covered them, "Harry and I were not doing anything of that sort!"
"Ah but of course you choose to deny it! But I wont be talking about your little sex scandal mudblood—"
"Sex scandal? What the hell are you talking about?!"
"What I'm trying to say is; you made me look an idiot by not showing up at that meeting!!!"
"I can see no difference from what you are now, exactly as you told me, an idiot!"
I had gone too far! I angered him because he lounged straight at me, fury and anger in his eyes, he held my neck tightly, the feeling of nausea returned along with the feeling of fear. He gripped my neck hard, real hard that I was beginning to choke, I reached for his hand with both of my hands but he was far too powerful.
The moment he touched me flashes of my dream came back, flashes I didn't ever want to see again but yet I did.
"Malfoy no—"
"You think you're such a big shot mudblood because you have these wild friends who think they are big shots too but I think you are not too big when you're alone, especially when you're alone here with me!"
His gray eyes flashed with fury, I started coughing. HELP ANYONE!!! He is going to kill me...
I was defenseless since I was sitting down and I had no wand with me so I was just there being strangled and allowing it.
"Malfoy stop—"
To my surprise he released me...
I gasped for air when he did and looked at him still holding my neck.
"You're nothing but vermin without Potter and Weasley mudblood, remember that!"
I looked at him and said, "Please talk in a civilized manner to me, Malfoy so that we will not have another dispute"
"What makes you think were not having one right now?!" he added coldly
He took something from his pocket and I noticed it was a cigarette, a wizard cigarette, what the hell? Malfoy is a head boy, sure he may be wild and a bully and a pain in the ass all the time but I didn't know he'd go this far. He lit it with his wand and I said, "Malfoy, you're a head boy..."
He took a long drag and blew a smoke on me, I coughed and sniffed it, it smelled like mint to me, unlike muggle cigarettes, wizard cigarettes smell good and they don't do anything to the ozone layer or to anyone who inhales them except make them cough, that's the good side but on the other hand, this cigarette can be addictive and bad to your health too. Cigarettes like that are usually used to sedate the mind if you smoke to many. I wonder where Malfoy got that, no one sells cigarettes to anyone who is below 21 years old here; it must be from his father and not only that, this kind of cigarette is actually expensive, one box is about 2 galleons? But that's no question considering the Malfoy as one of the most affluent wizard families.
I watched the slender stick in between his two slender hands, slowly depleting.
"How long have you been smoking that thing?" I asked
He cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Why want one?"
He handed me one and I directly moved away from it, he laughed and said, "No? I know you wouldn't, you're just a sissy know it all and that's what you'll be always and if you're wondering, I just had it, why do you care so much?"
"I'd rather be a sissy know it all than a fucking bully who thinks he is so big too! I'd rather be the know it all rather than destroy my health with a sedative cigarette like that!"
I shouted then I cupped my mouth, I didn't mean to say that it just flowed out.
To my surprise he said nothing but he just smirked at me.
"Malfoy that's a sedative cigarette it's not like those other cigarettes they are smoking and other than that, you're a head boy!"
He took the cigarette from his mouth and clutched it with his hand.
Boy! He is one tough guy that must hurt!
He then bended and extended his arms to the cushion so that I was trapped in between with nowhere to go.
"So you're going to tell on me, right? Go ahead, that's what you are, you're just so sissy, you just keep telling on teachers, that's all you do, you'd even get your friends in trouble, well mudblood—"
I slapped him hard on his face and he stood up and touched it.
"I guess that leaves our discussion for today and I just want to remind you, don't make me look like a fool next time or it would be your last!" he said and he threw the cigarette buts and ashes on my face sadistically, he really was angry but so am I!!!! He had no right to say those things! But what I'm really wondering on is why Malfoy walked out on me just when I slapped him, usually that ends up with me having a bit more than a black eye. I guess he just couldn't hurt a girl, even if it is a mudblood.
"Oh and yeah, here is your workload and mine! Don't protest, I'm the boss now!" he said and levitated a few books and parchments and a quill and dropped it in front of me.
"Malfoy wait—"
"You can't protest mudblood! If you want to keep your badge, after all, I am not the one who missed the meeting..."
"Malfoy, no--!"
But he already shut his door, I groaned and began to work but I left his undid.
And this was how my life started out to be a living hell, just right after Harry became my boyfriend.
And that's the end of my flashback and I'm here in this shower, showering away the memories I had for the past hour of kissing Malfoy as I fell into despair of thinking there is no escape in this madhouse, I am for sure staying here forever.
I heard a persistent knock on the door.
God! I hope it isn't that Malfoy again!
