Can't Have Me – Chapter 5: Addiction

Hermione's POV

I felt like I was traumatized with Draco's outburst.

After he walked out on me, I was just...stunned. Maybe I was really taking it too far. I tried to be in his shoes, and I am not proud of what I had done to him. And he was leaving? When he said that, my heart dropped to my knees, and my stomach turned. And no, I'm not into him or anything. It's just...You probably don't know how it feels when a person would do ANYTHING to be far away from you. It's just plain painful.

After a boring Muggle Studies session, I headed to my next class, which was Potions with the Slytherins. Perfect. That's just great.

I gulped when I headed inside the classroom. I took the only empty two-desk seat at the back, and was a little glad I didn't have a seatmate. I waved at Harry, who was in front of me with Ron. They both smiled, but I knew they heard about the news about Malfoy exploding. I didn't chat with them or anything, and I was just comfortable with just that.

I jumped when I saw Snape bursting at the door and shouting directions of what to do that day. "Go to page thirteen, and study the diagram of the Anishkon given," he barked. "After five minutes, I would like you to write a summary of what how to brew this potion, and include all – and I mean all, children – the components of the Anishkon potion and why they are needed."

I wanted to sigh of frustration, but of course, Snape wouldn't like that.

I slipped out my Potions book and began to make sense of the stupid diagram. I bit my lip. There were way too many ingredients for the Anishkon potion.

Exasperated, I began to write what I thought what the diagram meant. I began to list all the ingredients.

"Leech heads," I whispered. "Why do you need leech heads for Anishkon? Ugh."

Just when I was supposed to flip my book for some information for leeches, the door burst open, and the cutest—whoa, I meant angriest—guy in the planet walked in. He held up her excuse slip when Snape started to say something, and tried to find a seat. I tensed when I realize that the seat beside me is the only seat left. He narrowed his eyes and headed beside me.

The distance between us was so awkward. I tried to write, but I couldn't focus well. The same was happening with him. We would glance at each other at the same time, and we would immediately look back at our parchments.

"I'm sorry," I whispered finally. "I...I really didn't mean to hurt you...I'm really sorry."

He didn't reply. But I knew he was listening.

"You...Are you really leaving? Is that why your late for class?" I whispered.

Draco looked at me. "I have four weeks." Then he continued to scribble at his parchment.

I left my mouth open. Four weeks? Was McGonagall serious with him? Not that I cared, but...Four weeks? It may seem a bit long, but it felt damn short for me.

"Oh," was all I could manage.

I saw his fist tighten around his quill, and I feared he might break it. "It could've been sooner, but McGonagall's just too stubborn."

"Look, Malfoy," I started to whisper back. "You don't have to do it. It's..."

He stared at me with that death glare. But now, I wasn't afraid. I felt guilty. "It's what?" he muttered. "If it makes you feel bad, it isn't my problem. I want to do it."

"At least give me back my wand," I muttered back.

He smirked. "I almost forgot about that one. Do you expect me to just hand it over to you? Well, I don't think so."

I gritted my teeth. "You're a bastard. I'm going to fail my classes without my wand!"

"I don't care."

"Well, I do."

"Am I you?"

"Well...No."

"That settles it then."

I knew I wouldn't be able to get if from him that easily. I sighed, and slowly made up my mind. "If you give it back to me...You get to give me a dare."

He stopped writing and smirked again. "A dare? Do you get to refuse?"

I hesitated. "No. If I do, break my wand."

He grinned even wider. "Well, I'll...think about it. I like your deal."

I clenched my fists. Well, my wand was expensive, and my parents would freak out when they find out I don't have it. I would probably do anything to get it back.

Well, almost everything.

...

"WHAT? YOU EXPECT ME TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? YOU COCKROACH!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. We were in an empty classroom, and it was about seven in the evening.

Draco looked calm. "Come on, Granger. Have a little fun. Just do it and you get to have your precious wand."

"I am NOT going to 'accidentally kick' Ron in the balls! I don't care if I don't get my wand, I don't want to hurt anybody!"

He sighed. "Well then, time for Plan B."

"Plan B?" I asked slowly.

He went closer. I mimicked his move by walking backwards instinctively. He kept doing that until my back hit the wall. "And you will NOT say no to this one, deal?"

I didn't answer. He was just about a foot away from me, and was still moving closer.

"Answer, or I'll break your wand." He commanded. His tone kind of turned me on. Wait, did I just say that?

"D-Deal, then." I managed to say. I knew his Plan B wasn't going to be better than his Plan A.

"Kiss me. On the lips."

My eyes widened. I opened and closed my mouth, trying to say something. But I couldn't. Why would he want me to kiss him? Maybe it was just some kind of mean joke. Sure, he was good-looking, but he hated me. And I hated him back.

"No." I answered in a small voice.

He tilted his head to the side. "No? Then say goodbye to your oh-so-special wand, Granger."

I looked at the ground. "Promise me it won't mean anything."

He chuckled. "You expect me to like someone like you? Ha! I just want to see if you're a coward or not, Mudblood."

I narrowed my eyes. "You're sick." Then I took all my courage to close the small distance between us and brought his lips to mine.

He didn't kiss back, which I expected. But what I didn't expect was he started to respond after a few moments. My breath started to hitch. I wanted to pull back, my body didn't allow me to. Instead, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kiss him deeper. I felt desperate. I never kissed anyone like this before, and maybe he thought I was inexperienced. But I couldn't stop. He didn't either. It was like being...addicted to a certain drug.

But when I lost all my breath, I unwillingly pulled back and stared at him. His expression was undecipherable.

"I..." I started to say, but then I gave up and ran back to the Gryffindor house without saying anything else.

A/N: Well, what do you think will blossom between them? Do they both actually have feelings for each other? Well, keep reviewing and tell me whatever you think. :) Love you all!
