Okay so this is a tad embarrassing. I changed the grammatical mistakes crimsoneyes44 pointed out, (thanks by the way), from Chapter 1 but I have no clue how to make it show up on the live preview. With your help, I can make sure it is taken care of. Also, thank you so much to everyone who reviewed. In addition, I should warn you thank I am awful with comma rules to begin with and this story had been stuck in my head for awhile so I sort of just wanted to get it out. Hopefully, this time I was more careful.

Much Love,

After their conversation at lunch, Draco was completely useless at work. He was distracted and nervous the rest of the day. He even had to reschedule a meeting he had called because he couldn't get his act together long enough to prepare for it. Every time he had started to pull documents or write an outline for the meeting he started daydreaming about tonight's events.

What was the etiquette for taking someone's virginity? He guessed it was supposed to be romantic, but did that apply to this situation? It's what Hermione deserved for sure, but was he allowed to be that way? Was he allowed to kiss her? Surely there would be foreplay? What were the fucking guidelines? Draco wondered furiously. He had never planned something like this before and he certainly hadn't had a virgin in half a decade. Draco rubbed his face in frustration. He hadn't even planned his own first time for god's sake.

Draco jabbed the intercom button on his desk in frustration. This is possibly the most ridiculous situation I've ever gotten myself into. He thought, annoyed. His secretary answered with a musical, "Hello, Mr. Malfoy."

"Therese. Do you know if Mr. Zabini is in?"

"Yes, I believe so. Would you like me to go get him?"

"Yes, please."

"I'm on it."

Draco leaned back in his chair and waited. He sighed and looked at his clock. How could he possibly make it till seven? The anticipation was killing him. He couldn't stand it. After what felt like an hour but in reality was ten minutes, Blaise Zabini appeared in doorway. Blaise had been his friend for years. He was his wing man; they were both absurdly handsome and successful, and together they were an unstoppable force. Right now, Blaise was dressed in his usual black silk robe and bore a look of annoyance.

"Did you call this little chat to discuss why you cancelled the meeting today?" Blaise shoved himself off the doorframe and came to sit across from Draco. Draco grimaced.

"Sort of?"

"Sort of?" Blaise repeated. "How about you tell me why the bloody hell you decided to call off a meeting that I have been tirelessly preparing for the last few days?" Blaise raised an eyebrow at Draco.

"I can't concentrate today." Draco leaned back in his chair and absentmindedly shifted some papers around on his desk.

"Don't be daft. You closed a merger today." Blaise leaned back in his chair.

"That was before I had lunch with Hermione." Draco knew he was being vague but he didn't want to just blurt it out.

"How is the wonderful Miss Granger?" Blaise asked, interested.

"Fine…" Draco trailed off and sat up a little. He leaned forward. "Blaise, have you ever, I don't know, taken a woman's virginity?"

"Plenty of times." He shrugged then suddenly he sat up, eyeing Draco. "Why do you ask?" Draco didn't answer but dropped eye contact with him. "Did Hermione… Is Hermione… a… a virgin? Are you going to go where no man has gone, with Hermione Granger?"

"What the fuck was I supposed to do? She just asked me! I couldn't say no!" Draco half-shouted.

"As if you wanted to say 'no.'" Draco glared at him. "That's great, mate. Now you can finally do what you've wanted to do since you could first get an erection."

"Oh, piss off." Draco swiveled in his chair trying to avoid the truth.

"Draco. Honestly, you know this is like a dream come true for you. You've been in love with the woman for ages."

"I don't want to talk about this," Draco groaned.

"Well, then what the bloody hell do you want to talk about?"

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Well, I know this might be a little explicit for a first timer like yourself but it's rather simple. You just stick your-"

"Shut your mouth! I've been with plenty of women and you know it." Draco shouted indignantly. He really hoped Therese wasn't listening.

"Just not one you particularly care about?" Blaise asked seriously. Draco nodded and blew out some air.

"Blaise. I don't know what I have gotten myself into. It's not like I don't think I'll be able to perform, I'm just not sure what the rules are."

"The rules?" Blaise questioned.

"You know, am I allowed to kiss her on the lips?"

"Which ones?" Blaise smirked.

"Stop." Draco held up his hand. "You know what I mean."

"Okay, okay. I'll be serious. Why don't you just ask her? Knowing Granger, she already has them set out in her mind."

"This was so stupid. So reckless." Draco pressed his face into his palms.

"Now you sound like your father." Blaise pointed out. Draco looked up and frowned at him in response. "Look, Draco. Just ask her."

"Isn't that a little unromantic?"

"Oh, you want to woo her now?" Blaise raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I want to woo her!" Draco snapped. "I sure as hell don't want her dating that idiot Jake. His head is so filled with fluff I could make a pillow out of it."

"Who the fuck is Jake?" Blaise asked. Draco realized he hadn't explained himself very well.

"Jake Thompson. He works at the ministry with Hermione and he asked her to the ball on Saturday."

"Well, then why doesn't she just sleep with him?"

"I. Don't. Know." Draco said through clenched teeth. "Do I appear to be anything less than confused right now?"

"I wish I could help mate, but I'm at a loss." Draco rolled his eyes.

"I've got to get out of here." Draco stood up and grabbed his cloak, walking swiftly to the door and holding it open for Blaise. "I can't think. All I keep doing it replaying possible scenarios of how this is going to work out in the end and I'm not convinced I can use this to my advantage." Blaise walked over slowly to him and clapped him on the shoulder.

"It will work out. You're a Malfoy. A Malfoy always gets what he wants."

"Thanks, Father." Draco replied sarcastically. Blaise grinned and walked out the door.

"I'm taking the rest of the day off. So could you lock up?" Draco asked his secretary.

"Of course, Draco. Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm just very tired." He faked a smile. "Have a great day, Therese."

As Draco walked out of his building he glanced at his watch. 3:37. Only three hours, and twenty-three minutes left for him to decide how to make sure Hermione would never, no, could never, be with any man but him…

I know this wasn't as long as the last chapter but after the great reviews I received, I wanted to get something out as soon as possible. Please Review I love hearing from everyone!
