Chapter 13

As the next few weeks passed, Hermione was busy with school work, organizing the Halloween Ball (which was hard, seeing as she was doing it all by herself), and avoiding Malfoy. Whenever she saw him coming, she would turn the other way or surround herself with other Gryffindors, She left their common room early and stayed out late, so she wouldn't run into him, and if she had a class with him, she would make sure she wasn't at his table.

She also had to make sure nobody found out about Sirius, who spent the nights in her room, and the day in Dumbledores office. She was always very careful whenever someone mentioned his name, making sure she looked as unhappy as everyone else. She was feeling more like her usual self, overloaded with work, worrying about a million things, and avoiding Malfoy. She didn't know how much longer she could take it all.

After her last class of the week, Hermione decided to got to the library to relax and to do some reading, which, with her, went hand in hand. As she opened the library doors, she was relieved to see that it was deserted. "Home Sweet Home" she thought as she walked through the rows of books.

She picked out a book about potions and settle into an overstuffed chair by the fireplace, and started to read. When she was about half way through, she put the book down and started to think about how hectic the past few weeks had been, about Sirius returning, and mostly, about Draco. Whenever she thought about the kiss she still felt butterflies in her stomach, and when her pulse sped up when she thought about the way he looked at her before he left her room the day they found Sirius.

As she told herself it was all just nonsense, she knew that she was just lying to herself. She had known since over last summer that she had feelings for him, she just couldn't decipher them, and it wasn't any better now. She knew she wasn't in love with him, but she also knew she could be if she wasn't careful, a fact which scared her than not knowing how she felt at all.

"Alright, I'll admit to having strong feelings for him, but nothing more... yet" she thought to herself. "Now that's enough for now. I'm going to finish this book and enjoy it, dammit!" she thought angrily. Just as she picked up the book, Hermione heard the library doors open. "Hello? Who's there?" she called. When she didn't receive an answer, she started to get nervous and decided to go to bed.

As she put her book away, Hermione felt like someone was watching her. As she swung around with the book in her hands, she felt it connect with something. When she looked down to see what she hit, she burst out laughing. "That'll teach you to go sneaking behind people, Malfoy" said Hermione, trying to catch her breath from laughing to hard.

"I'll try to remember that in the future" replied Draco. "What are you doing in here so late, anyway?" he asked. "Dancing naked with elves and unicorns! What does it look like? Reading, of course!" said Hermione, exasperated with Malfoy's stupid question. "Oh, reading. Your favorite past time. Although, I must say, I wouldn't mind seeing the first one" said Draco with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Bite me, Malfoy" said Hermione, rolling her eyes at him. "Gladly" he replied, then grabbed her arm and gently bit her. "What in the name of Merlins Socks are you doing, Malfoy?' hissed Hermione, trying to keep her tone down. "Only what you tell me, Mione, only what you tell me" replied Draco softly, stepping closer to her.

"Then I tell you to go away and leave me alone. I will NOT snog with you in the library" said Hermione, struggling to get away from him. "Just in the library, or just with me?" he inquired. "Both" she replied. "Fine then, I'll solve one of those problems. You won't be snogging with me, I'll be making out with you" said Draco as he pulled her into his arms. "What's the difference?" asked Hermione. "Nothing, really, you just get to tell yourself that I initiated it" replied Draco.

"Now, no more questions. If I'm going to get blamed for something, at least let me do it first" said Malfoy, as he pressed his lips against hers. Waiting for him to increase pressure, Hermione became impatient and increased pressure herself. "Why not?' she thought. When Hermione stood on tiptoe, Malfoy finally reacted and pulled her up and deepened the kiss. When Hermione heard a little sigh, she wasn't sure if it was from him or her, nor did she care. All she cared about was the sensations that were filling her, and wanted to feel more.

At the same time, Draco was in awe at the things she made him feel when they kissed. It was like the room was spinning, like nothing else existed but the two of them. "She's perfect" he thought to himself as he pulled her onto a chair with him so she was sitting on his lap. He loved the way her fingers felt in his hair, loved the way her hair brushed against his face, the way her skin felt under his hand. He knew if they didn't stop soon, he wouldn't be able to stop at all.

"I really should stop" thought Hermione. But she couldn't help herself. She loved the way his hand felt on her back, the way his lips felt against hers, how she felt sitting on his lap. Finally, he pulled, with much difficulty. "We've got to stop, Mione, or we won't be able to" said Draco, breathing heavily. "I know, I'm just glad you stopped, I'm not sure I could've" replied Hermione, huskily. "Believe me, I didn't want to, but I also didn't want anyone walking in on us"said Draco, his hand still on her back. "Too late" they heard a voice say from the doorway. "Ron" was all Hermione could say.
