The Cover Shots

Hermione spent Friday February 13th running about the castle getting everything in place for the next day's gala. She briefly met with Draco for a quick snog on her way to the Great Hall, but then they both hurried on to prepare for the event. Draco had been busy in the Slytherin commons for Merlin only knew what.

The next morning she awoke to a common room bursting with roses, breakfast in bed and a delicious shag. They attention this week had been unbearable for Hermione as her interview would hit the stands that day.

At brunch hundreds of owls swooped in with roses, sweets, gifts and mail. Hermione received several large boxes and around 50 pieces of owl post, as well as the several mags the interview would appear in and a rather large check. They had made the interview far worth her while, 10,000 galleons, for some photos and the rather short story. She was still adjusting to the large amounts of mail her new status attributed to her; odd letters of all types from witches and wizards around the world, even a few strange marriage proposals.

Hermione noted looks of awe from around the hall, especially the men. At first she thought it must be for the large amounts of mail, then Ginny elbowed her. "Mione look at you!"

Ginny slid Teen Witch and Witch Weekly in front of her. Teen Witch was done in black and white, it featured a cover of her looking seductively over her back over a bare shoulder, holding her hair to the side, exposing her neck. Her gaze burned as she seemed to gaze into the eyes of the viewer, her eye makeup dark and sultry. Hermione covered her mouth in shock, "Holy shit! This was from the test roll, I never posed like this, they were supposed to be checking the lighting!"

Ginny giggled, "You are smoking hot in this Mione. Look at the way everyone is starring at you. But look at this one!"

She pushed Witch Weekly at her. Hermione was lounging on a black velvet fainting sofa in a full-length green silk slip dress. Her knees curled up under her as she leaned over the arm, resting her chin on crossed arms. There was the slightest hint of a smirk on her face. On each bicep was a precious metal cuff circling about the arm. On her right, a brilliant golden lion, oh her left, a cool silver snake. The caption read –What does a muggle-born Gryffindor have in common with a pureblood Slytherin? Love, Riches and the Library: The only likely story of today's greatest romance. –Details inside!

Hermione was mortified, she heard the rustling of hundreds of pages as hall flipped through her interview. She looked up to find Draco. He was seated across the hall next to Theo Nott and Pansy. Theo was elbowing him roughly in the ribs and shaking the mag at him. Draco looked it over, paled a bit and glanced over at her. Seeing her worried expression he gathered his things and went to join her.

The hall began to gossip wildly and suddenly a few young witches began to follow him to Hermione. By the time he reached her a queue had formed behind him. He turned about sharply, "What!"

The girls backed up a bit before one spoke, "Can we get the Head Girl to sign our mags?"

Hermione choked on her tea, "What!"

The girl held out a quill, "Please, you are on the cover of Teen Witch and I collect them."

Draco smirked at her. Hermione reluctantly took the quill, signed the cover and eagerly passed the publication back. The girl squealed and hugged the magazine as the others rushed forward, "All of you?" There were nearly 30 in total. She turned to Draco, grabbed his hand and whispered, "Malfoy, our common room, quick!"

They took off through the crowd, only stopping once they reached their chambers. Draco was laughing furiously.

"This is not funny Malfoy!"

He picked up two of the rags, "Oh I don't know Miss Granger, these are two highly erotic pictures of you."

"Which I did not agree to."

He chuckled, "Know what they sent me today Mina?"

She shook her head no, "Two giant prints of the covers."

Her jaw dropped, "They didn't!"

"You can always check my room if you doubt me. Needless to say, it is grade A wanking material, I'm sure the rest of the hall felt similarly, if Slytherin was any indication." Hermione buried her head in her hands in a flush.

Draco pulled her to the couch and accio'ed a few boxes. "I find it quite endearing that you refer to me as Mr. Malfoy in the interview."

"Well I didn't want to expose you."

He grinned, "I think you gave more away by that action that using my name. You showed we have a deep amount of respect for one another, and you, my little lioness, were quite protective of your dragon."

He pushed a box at her, "Open up love, what good are gifts if you don't open them?"

She was surprised, she had no idea what was in the boxes, but gifts were not what she was expecting.

Inside the first box was a red ¾ length silk dress of the highest quality. She looked oddly at him, "Versace Draco? You bought me Versace?"

"I thought you deserved to look nice tonight."

The next box held gorgeous black heels. "Jimmy Choo? Seriously?"

He laughed and held out another, in it were black dress robes of the highest quality. In the last was a book, The History of the Malfoy Family. "Thought that less one might be instructive."

She launched into his lap, covering him is kisses. "Draco you are too generous! How can I ever repay you?"

He smirked wickedly, "Ahhh love, I can think of a few things…"

A/N: Guess who's in the next chapter? And guess who gets some action...well, everyone of course!
