Chapter 5

Over the next few months, Hermione started to feel better. She no longer blamed herself for what had almost happened. She knew now that it was because Blaise was screwed up in the head. Two days after the incident Blaise Zambini was expelled for being caught molesting a first year Ravenclaw. When Hermione found out she felt a lot more comfortable walking around.

Draco had been a great help to Hermione. He was always there for her and he was always getting stuff for her and going down to Madame Pomfery for sleeping pills for her.

Hermione was laying in her bed, after classes on a Friday night. She was dozing off a bit before she and Draco had to go to a meeting with the headmaster. Draco was supposed to be doing his patrols through the school classroom and library.

Draco was just finishing his first half of the patrols, coming out of the library when he thought that he would go check on Hermione. Draco walked slowly to the common room. Thoughts were running through his mind.

'Hermione. Wow. I never thought that I would be taking care of Hermione Jane Granger. Let alone being in love with her.' Draco stopped walking. 'Did I just think that?' Draco laughed to himself and concluded that he was indeed, in love with Hermione Granger.

He walked at a more frenzied pace now. Soon he was standing in the common room.

Hermione heard a noise in the common room.

"Draco? Is that you?" Hermione was answered by silence and then Draco burst in to the room holding a bouquet of lilies. Hermione gasped as the young blond haired boy walked over to her bedside.

"Oh, Draco, they are so beautiful!" Hermione exclaimed in awe. Hermione took the flowers and got up to go put them in a vase. Draco stayed in her bedroom sitting lightly on the bed.

About five minutes later she came back up to the room holding a crystal vase. She set it beside her bed on her end table. She then turned so that she was facing the person occupying her side of the bed.

She smiled, and walked around so that she could sit next to him. He smirked at her and placed his left hand on her right thigh. She laughed and brought her hand to rest on top of his.

"So. What brings you here? In the middle of patrols?" She asked him, a small smile on her face, and a twinkle in her eye. She reached up to brush a stray hair out of his face. His eyes followed her fingers, and when she went to bring her hand back down to her lap, Draco's fingers wrapped around her thin hands. He gripped them firmly but not roughly. He pulled them up to kiss them and saw her neatly painted brightly colored finger nails, she had many colors, all different ones painted on each of her fingers. He raised his right eyebrow and flashed a questioning glance at her. She looked down at her own nails and laughed to herself.

"I was trying colors." She shrugged, bringing a smile to flutter across his face. He laughed, and then his thin face took on a serious demeanor.

"Hermione, we've known each other for seven years now, and we've been dating for 3 months right?" Hermione nodded. "I think we've been through a lot. And I just wanted to tell you that I think," He paused and looked into her brown eyes, that were fixed intently on him. "No, I know, that I love you. I love the way your hair falls in your face and you blow it out of your way. I love the way your hands twist and shake when you're nervous, I love the way you bite your bottom lip when you don't know what to say. I love everything about you." He stopped and took a deep breath. Hermione stood up, she was trying to register everything that he had just told her, she realized her bottom lip was under her teeth again, and she smiled recalling what he had just said.

She turned to look at him again, walking slowly towards him. She took his face in her dainty fingers, running her index finger up over his cheek bones.

"I love you too, Draco Malfoy." She said a kissed him, catching him completely off guard. They toppled backward on to the bed, Hermione squealed as Draco flipped them quickly over, and taking advantage of her open mouth, thrust his tongue in, massaging hers and exploring her mouth. Hermione moaned loudly, a bright flush coming to rest on the top of her breasts and across her face.

Draco felt as if he was soaring, the woman that he loved had just confessed her love for him, and was now underneath him, kissing him as if she were dying.

Hermione felt as if her entire body and all of her pores were on fire. She kissed Draco harder and started to tug at his shirt. He knew what she wanted and ripped his shirt off, flinging it to the bottom of the large bed. Hermione trailed the pads of her fingers up over his defined abs.

'All those years of quidditch really did him good.' She thought. Draco tugged at her shirt and Hermione propped herself up so as to help him. H lifted the shirt from her body. Draco's kisses now trailed down her neck. He hit a special spot at the top of her collarbone that elicited a loud moan from Hermione.

He kissed away on downward. He stopped halfway to dip his tounge in her belly button. Hermione moaned again louder, and arched her back. Dracos teeth were now tugging at her heans, she unbuttoned them and he pulled them on down her long slender legs.

Hermione now lay there in her sexy marron bra and undies.

Draco growled. "Once a Gryffindor, always a Gryffindor." Hermione smirked. She then flipped them over. This moe surprised Draco and he raised his eyebrow. Hermione began feverishly kissing him, her kisses trailing up his strong jawline and down his neck. As hermione's kisses play on Draco's neck her hands flitted down to where Draco's jeans were very tight. She unzipped the fly and unbuttoned the button, she then sat back to allow him to kick of the jeans. Which were then added to the pile now at the end of the bed.

Hermione's tounge was now trailing down Draco's hard and very defined abs. Suddenly, there was a large bang downstairs. Hermione sat up quickly. Draco opened his once closed eyes, and listened as they heard heavy footsteps coming quickly up the stairwell, and voices in the common room below.
