Chapter 11
"Who the hell does he think he is?" Hermione asked herself as she paced her room. "First, he kisses me, then he tells me I didn't do anything wrong! Like I'd kiss anyone if I didn't want to, not that I wanted to kiss him......Oh great! Now I'm lying to myself!" said Hermione. Truth is, she had wanted to kiss him since the day she ran into him (literally) in Diagon Alley over the summer, but she wouldn't admit it to herself until now.
Now that it had actually happened, she just kept replaying the kiss over and over in her mind. After finally convincing herself that she was just curious (mostly) , she had just wanted to know what it would feel like. Still, she couldn't help wonder how far she would've gone if Lucius hadn't interrupted them.
"I would've stopped. Eventually" she amended. "That's it! I'm going down there and asking him just what he meant by kissing me!" said Hermione, as she headed to the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to see Draco raising his fist to knock on the door. "Ok! I was just going to ask if I could come in"said Draco, looking past Hermione into the room , his eyes finally resting on the bed. "No, you can't come in, but we can go downstairs to talk, if you want" replied Hermione, giving Draco a "I know what your thinking, and no way" look.
"Whatever you want, Hermione" said Draco, trying to hide his smile. "Downstair it is! Well, what are you waiting for, Malfoy? Get moving!" said Hermione , annoyance obvious in her voice. Looking to see what Malfoy was looking at, Hermione nearly fainted, because under her bed there was a big, black, shaggy dog. "Snuffles, is that you?" asked a very shocked and shaken Hermione. The dog barked once for yes.
"So you know there's a dog in here?" asked a very confused Draco. "Yes...No...I ... I mean yes, of course I know there's a dog in here. It's Snuffles" replied Hermione, trying to stop the tears that were coming to her eyes. "Well it looks like it gets along with Crookshanks" said Draco, looking at the cat and dog, who were sitting next to each other. "Opposites attract" Hermione said absently, not realizing what she said. "Yes, they do, don't they?" asked Draco, raising an eyebrow at Hermione. "Yes they do , didn't I just say........OH! You meant..... REALLY Malfoy! That's it! Out! Now! Go!" said Hermione, not really mad at Draco, she just wanted to get rid of him so she could talk to "Snuffles".
"Ok, ok, I'm going. But don't think that this is over. We still have a lot to discuss" said Draco as he headed towards to door. "Wait a sec. Hermione, do you think it was the dog that scared you?" asked Draco, a thoughtful look an his face. "Oh. Well, yes I suppose it could have been Snuffles, seeing as I have to keep him locked in my room because we're not supposed to have dogs here. I must have left my door open and that's how he got out, and I wasn't expecting him, so that's probably why he scared me so badly" replied Hermione, pleased that she didn't have to think of an excuse.
Draco, smiling at Hermione's rambling sentence, said "Ok, I'm going now. Your lucky I have schoolwork. Get that dog a leash, and I'll see you later" walking over to her, he leaned over her as if to kiss her, but when she backed away, he gave her a long look, and left. "Snuffles, what am I going to do about him?" asked Hermione. "Get rid of the git" replied Sirius.
