Boring… the word ran through Draco's head repeatedly as it had been for the past hour of Professor Flitwicks lecture.
'…and the spell 'Poronting' will allow you to see into dark corridors for five exact minutes. Mind you there is some side effects…' Draco rolled his eyes and glanced out the window. He didn't see Pansy glaring at him as Blaise tiredly rubbed her knee under the table.
'Sorry Professor, I had to go to the hospital wing.' Draco turned abruptly at the sound of Hermione's voice as she entered the classroom looking flustered. She glanced around the room looking for a seat and when she found none scowled and sat in the seat across from Draco.
'As I was saying… you have to be…' Again Flitwicks voice droned out. Hermione was red in the cheeks and without drawing attention to himself he noticed that the corner of her lips had slightly turned up.
Must have had an encounter with the weasel. Draco sighed with disappointment. This was going to be a long day…
God, he's so cute! Hermione glanced at Draco out of the side of her eyes and her lips struggled to hide a smile. He looked so…bored. Yet at the same time he looked about as hot as a movie star! She watched him as he ran a hand through his hair frustrated. Her breath quickened as he looked at her and shook his head almost… Was that disappointment? No, he had looked disappointed for a second but it must have been a trick of the light.
Hermione grabbed a pen out of her bag and started scribbling down notes on the lecture but found it hard to concentrate with Blaise winking at her behind Pansy's head. He licked his lips and threw his head back in an almost seductive way…almost. She had to fight back a shiver…what did she see in him?
'Miss Granger?' Hermione jerked her head up at the sound of her name.
'Would you kindly show the class how the charm is done?' Her eyes widened. She hadn't been listening.
She pulled out her wand and pointed it at her face as the Prof. Was doing and opened her mouth just as a whisper said Poronting. She said the words and she felt a breeze on her face as the Prof. Turned the lights off, she could see everything just as it would have normally been…just a bit shaded.
'Poronting.' He said it next to her ear as he was pretending to pick up a pencil. He saw her sigh in relief as he sat down and resumed looking out the window. He hadn't wanted her to get into trouble for not listening…not that he was any better.
The lunch bell went a good half an hour later and he quickly got up to leave. He was starving and he couldn't stand watching her smile and blush every time she thought of…whatever it is she was thinking of.
Walking quickly down the hall towards the end of the second floor corridor, he heard a heavenly voice shout his name.
'Malfoy! Stop!' He turned slowly and fixed a smirk on his face as Hermione ran to catch up.
'What is it? Cat got your tongue?' He said when she didn't say anything.
'No I…I just want to thank you for telling me the charm when we were in class. It saved my life.' He rolled his eyes.
'Always the dramatic know-it-all aren't we.' She scowled at him and said,
'that was all I wanted to say…Thank you.' She turned to walk away and he was kicking himself inside before she turned back and leaned forward. Her lips lightly brushed his cheek and before he could react,
'No problems.' she said just as the word thankyou was rolling of his tongue…
