Chapter 3

Good Morning Kiss

Hermione sat on her bed biting her nails avidly. She'd left some of her books downstairs & now could not retrieve them because he was down there now. Frustrated she decided she just had to wait until he went to bed, then she could retrieve her books & finish her homework.

She changed into her pajamas & sat on her bed reading; waiting until she heard his footsteps come up the stairs to prove that the close was clear.

Ten minutes passed...

Twenty minutes passed...

Thirty minutes...

Hermione awoke with a start. She looked at her clock. It was pressing on eleven, she'd fallen asleep for nearly an hour. She listened downstairs for a sound. Silence. Was the common room empty? Unsure if she should risk it she thought for a moment.

Malfoy wouldn't stay up late working on homework she was pretty sure of. Her mind told her that he had probably gone up to bed about ten or twenty minutes ago and that it was now safe to leave her bedroom.

Confident she got up off her bed, went to the door & walked down the hallway & down the staircase. The common room was empty. There was still a roaring fire & Hermione's books where lying on the rug in front of it. Right were she'd left them.

She crossed the room with bare feet then bent down to pick up her Arithmacy & charms books. Right as she stood straight back up a deep voice from the couch said:

"It took you long enough."

Hermione's heart skipped a beat & her eyed widened. She spun on the spot and was not only staring at Malfoy, but Malfoy in naught but his boxers. She dropped her books. She suddenly felt very exposed in her pajama shorts & tank top.

Malfoy smirked at her evilly. He must have been hunched over writing on the parchment on the coffee table in front of him, hiding him from her sight, when she had walked in thinking that she was alone.

Malfoy still held his quill in his hand & there were ink markings splotching the side of his left hand. Hermione's head was racing wildly, then suddenly she forced herself to fake confidence & control. She raised one eyebrow at him slowly.

His expression turned intrigued & he asked:

"Yes, Granger?"

She blinked twice & wet her lips.

"W-what did you mean? Took me long enough?"

Still trying to play it cool & stay in control she clasped her hands together & pressed her lips against each other tightly.

"Only that I can't believe that you waited this late in the evening to start your homework. What will the Professors think of you?" He asked still smirking smugly.

She clasped her hands even tighter not knowing what to say. Did he know the effect that he was having on her.

"Is something wrong Granger... you look... tense?"

It was the perfect word to describe her present demeanor.

"Sorry is it because I'm only wearing boxers? Does it make you... nervous?"

He was enjoying this, Granger looked like she wanted to jump into the fire in front of her to escape him. Right when he thought she might actually do it she bit out:

"I-I don't know what you're talking about."

She bent back over, grabbed her books & stormed away from him back up to her bedroom. She was certain now that he had seen her watching last night.

Hermione managed to finish her homework that night, staying up until one-thirty in the morning. She woke up several hours later in the morning from the soothing sound of running water from the shower.

Sleepily she raised herself up from her bed & stretched out yawning. Her first class today started in forty-five minutes. Groggily she got up, picked up her school uniforn & robes & waited for her turn to use the bathroom.

Draco stood, hunched over in the shower letting the water run down his body silently. He was in a odd mood this morning. He'd woken up very early, which he did not like, and had not been able to go back to sleep.

So he'd read for a couple of hours then gotten into the shower where he presently stood letting the hot water beat down his naked body. He felt drowsy & warm. His eye fluttered sleepily when...

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sound of the violent rapping on the bathroom door ripped him from his tired trance immediately angering him.

"Umm Malfoy! I need the shower... Please hurry up!" Granger's feeble voice said from the other side of the door.

Draco smirked. He reached out for the nozzle of the shower & turned it off, jumped out of the shower, tied a towel loosely around his hips & flung open the bathroom door that led to Granger's bedroom.

She shrieked at the sight of him. Beads of sweat glistened down his pale skin & he hovered over her in the doorway. She backed away from him terrified, but he caught her wrist & pulled her close to him.

Hermione whimpered.

"Don't bother me in the morning Granger. Ever. Again." He whispered.

She stared up at him with wide eyes. Then she feebly nodded. He smirked evilly down at her, then with his fingers he lifted her chin up to him & pecked her lightly on the lips.

Granger was momentarily frozen in shock, but then she mentally grasped the situation at hand & pushed Malfoy away from her with a newfound almighty strength.

She fled the room, her shower, robes & uniform forgotten.

Short, short, short, short I know... I'm working on uploading another chapie tonight...

Crossing my fingers :)
