"How was detention?" Draco asked leaning against the wall, as Hermione left the potions lab.
"It could've been worse. Seems Snape has a bit of a soft spot for revenge." Hermione laughed, walking over to where Draco stood, "So, is there a reason you're waiting for me, or could you just not wait to see me?" she joked.
"Do I need a reason to see my girlfriend?" Draco quipped, pulling Hermione into him.
"No, but I thought we were being discrete."
"We are which is why I'm here."
"Huh?" Hermione replied confused.
"Well, I thought that, considering every time we get a moment to ourselves we get interrupted, tonight is just going to be you and me. No roommates, no drama, just you and me… no interruptions." Draco clarified kissing Hermione lightly.
"What about…" Hermione began.
"Blaise and Ginny are on music patrol, Millicent is working the anti-masturbation angle, Harry's covering spell detail and Pansy's covering Harry. Everything is sorted, so don't worry, anyone would think you work to hard." Draco smiled, "So what do you think?"
"Mmm, sounds perfect."
"Well then… m'lady, your dinner awaits."
"Dinner?" Hermione questioned as Draco began to lead her down the hall.
"Yes, you know one of those meals you missed today, although this one you had a real reason for missing." Draco replied giving her a meaningful look.
"I wasn't hungry."
"Well then you must be starving now then." Draco grinned, as he pulled them to a stop.
"The Room of Requirement?" Hermione questioned.
"Tonight is all about you, this way you can have everything you want."
"Roses and Romance."
"Roses and Romance" Draco repeated grinning.
"Come on" Hermione smiled pulling Draco into the room.
"Nice"
"Thanks, except I'm guessing the dinner was you."
"You guess right." Draco replied smiling, "come on I got your favourite" he added pulling a giggling Hermione over to the table and pulling out her chair as she moved to sit down.
"Why thank you kind sir." She smiled, making Draco chuckle as he took his seat next to her, "Italian, my favourite." Hermione grinned as she began to eat.
Once they had finished their meal and the plates had been vanished, Hermione leaned into Draco as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her back into his chest. They sat, for what seemed like hours, in comfortable silence, words not being needed as they sat look out at the night sky.
Hermione a conjured what appeared to be a water bungalow. The interior was wood panelled with streams of moonlight breaking through the panels and a double four poster bed with white sheets and sheer white drapes surrounding it, was pushed against the wall, the drapes flowing with the breeze. The most spectacular aspect of the room was the surrounding decking. Two double doors were positioned in the middle of the far wall, opening out onto decking which surrounded the entire room, and from the decking all you could see was the calm surrounding ocean reflecting the moon stars in its crystal clear waters.
"I like your room." Draco said softly, a light breeze gently catching Hermione's curls, as he took in her moonlit face.
"Thanks" Hermione replied in the same soft tone, a smile forming on her lips as she sighed in content.
"I love you, do you know that?" Draco smiled down at her as Hermione tilted her head up to look at him.
"Yeah I know, I love you too." She smiled in return before reaching up and closing the distance between their lips with a passion filled kiss, as they let their feelings take over for the rest of the night.
The next morning Draco suddenly woke as he felt the emptiness of the bed, lifting his head he looked around the room before rolling onto his back and sitting up. As he took in the room, Draco realised that Hermione was still here, he could hear her music playing, slowly, he stood up wrapping one of the white sheets around his waist as he made his way out onto the deck.
Hermione sat leaning against one of the post on the decking, wrapped in a white sheet, bathing in the sunlight, a cup of coffee at her side.
"Hey" Draco greeted as he made his way over to Hermione, kissing her neck as he slid in between her and the post, so she was now leaning against him.
"Hey, coffee?" Hermione offered holding her mug up for him.
"Thanks," Draco replied taking a sip as a new song began to play, "What song is this? I like it."
"Otis Redding 'Dock of the bay', another of my chill out favourites"
"Fits my mood, and the morning perfectly. Mmm, thank Merlin it's Sunday." Draco smiled as Hermione nodded in agreement, before a plate of fruit appeared in front of them. "Hungry?"
"A little" Hermione smiled, reaching for a piece of fruit.
As Hermione leaned Draco couldn't help but stare as her lose curls fell from behind her ear, framing her sun kissed face. Draco leant forward, his face level with hers.
"You are so beautiful" Draco said softly caressing her cheek, "What did I ever do to deserve you?" He questioned, his voice full of love and emotion.
"You saved me, you brought me back to life" Hermione replied as she leaned in to kiss him sweetly.
Draco deepened the kiss, pulling her into him, shifting as he laid her down on the deck.
"Breakfast" Draco announced as he reached for the plate of fruit.
Picking up a strawberry, Draco began to trace his way up her leg using the tip of the berry, making his way up her body before reaching her lips. When Draco reached her mouth he gently traced around her lips, before running over then chuckling as he pulled the fruit away as Hermione tried to bite it. Draco finally relented, placing the berry between her open lips, kissing away the juice that fell as she took a bite.
Draco continued to feed Hermione breakfast this way until Hermione could take no more, pulling Draco down to meet her lips passionately, before they once again lost themselves in each other.
Three hours later Hermione and Draco reluctantly left the room of requirement, and made their way down to the Great Hall in time for lunch. Draco pulled Hermione in for a long kiss, making her sigh as she pulled away and entered the hall.
"I was about to send out a search party for you." Pansy grinned as Hermione took her place at the table next to her. "So I'm guessing by that huge smile you had a good night."
"No" Hermione began making Pansy frown, "I had an amazing night." She grinned.
"So come on details." Ginny pressed, only to be disappointed as Hermione shook her head in response.
"Come on H we need details." Millicent groaned, as Hermione shook her head again.
"I'm your best friend Hermione, you have to tell me something." Ginny added, making Hermione raise her eyebrows in disbelief.
"Ginny come on!" Ron called across the hall, "Quidditch practice now!" he continued.
"Ok I'm coming" Ginny replied, "I'll see you guys later" she continued as she left the table.
"I gotta go too, I need to finish my Herbology essay. See ya" Millicent added as she too left the table.
"Ok you wanna explain that?" Pansy asked as soon as they were alone.
"What?" Hermione replied.
"Ginny, you looked like you were about to smack her one."
"Yeah well maybe it would suffice as a wake up call. I can't believe she honestly thinks we're still best friends, after everything that's happened between us."
"What exactly did happen between you two?" Pansy questioned.
"Oh you know the usual, siding with her brother when they broke up, calling Hermione every insult under the sun with the definition of whore, attempting to turn her family against Hermione, all because she broke up with her brother, oh, and not forgetting slagging off her current boyfriend in front of a roomful of their friends." Harry answered from behind them smiling, winking at Hermione as he sat down opposite the pair, followed quickly by Draco.
"You know, this is becoming quite a habit, the two of you hanging out. Anyone would think you're friends." Hermione smirked, eyeing the two boys.
"Yeah well anyone would think Pansy's on the way to becoming your best friend with the amount of time you two spend together." Draco replied.
"She is, so what's your point?" Hermione quipped in reply, making Pansy laugh.
"Yeah Draco what is your point?" Pansy added.
"Ok that's just creepy." Harry interrupted.
"What is?" Hermione asked.
"You, seeing you two do that, shows just how Slytherin you really are."
"That's rich coming from the guy who almost got sorted into Slytherin."
"Whoa, what?" Pansy asked shocked, "You were almost Slytherin." She smiled as Harry nodded in confirmation.
"Maybe that explains why it's proving to be insanely easy for us to actually get on." Draco laughed, making everyone else laugh.
"So 'Mione how was detention?" Harry asked.
"Actually it was ok. Snape had me re-do the potion we were making in class, plus" Hermione grinned pulling a vile from her pocket, " I got to keep what I made. Line up your questions boys, this is gonna be fun. Oh and tell Blaise I got a new song for him." She added pulling her iPod from her other pocket and handing the earphones to Harry and Draco.
"Slytherin" Draco smirked at Hermione as 'I touch myself' began to play.
