Chapter 8

As she awoke, she felt strong arms around her, she moved a little and the arms tightened pulling her closer to a strong male body. Her eyes flew open, and stared in awe at him. God she was so close way to close for comfort. But it felt good to be this close for some reason.

He was holding her as if she was going to float away; his grip was like steel around her waist. She felt the feeling starting to grow in her stomach, arousing her. God she couldn't let this happen not here, what if someone walked in what they would say.

She looked up at him after deciding it was no use.

His long hair was across his face, and he looked so peaceful, so perfect.

Raising her hand, she pushed the hair back from his face to behind his ear. His eyes shot open in an instant and she gasped as the black orbs were focused on her. She had been caught what did she say.

He had just felt the graze of her hand on his skin to felt he heat erupt in him the need. She looked so embarrassed for having been caught looking at him, he just smirked. He withdrew his hands and placed them cupping her face. She was as if a deer caught in the middle of the road.

They lie there facing each other his large powerful hands but so gentle caressing her face. She could only stare as he stared back.

The need she felt the new experience of longing was ripping threw her. Slowly ever so slowly, he drew her to him. She came willingly wondering were this would lead.

The kiss was sweet, and gentle. She was shocked as his hands held her.

He knew it was wrong but it felt so right, shoving his hand in her hair he loved the feeling of its soft curls in it.

She didn't know what to do; never had a kiss rendered her so… shocked, so frustrated.

He licked her lips wanting entry, she granted it to him, and he dove in with out warning. The feel of his tongue along hers made it go into action as they battled. Letting instincts control her, she shoved her hands in his hair to pull him closer.

Both needing air they broke apart, he looked at her. Her eyes were closed but he could tell her brain was working a mile a minute to process everything. When she finally lifted her eyes, they were misty with pleasure there was no doubt about that. Never before had he been so moved by just one kiss.

She didn't know what to say she had never been in a situation like this, his eyes were just so penetrating, but so evil.

They heard a cough from the other side of the room and they jolted from each other like fire. Hermione jolted so far she fell out of the bed, hitting her arse hard on the ground. Letting out a groan in pain as she rubbed her bottom.

"Well now that it seems that I got your attention, I can begin," Dumbeldore said chuckling. Severus was mentally swearing the old coot to hell.

"It seems that Mr. Malfoy has arrived, he will be here for supper so I expect that you eat a good meal my dear," the man said smiling at her, she nodded," and by the way Hermione don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Hermione looked at the door that the man has exited in shock did he just saw what she thought he said. Did he see everything? Moreover, did he just say what I thought he said, all went through her brain?

"I suggest that you grab your stuff and head back to your dormitory no doubt that potion has worn off by know," she heard him sneer, she just looked at him, he didn't even looked at her. Did he even care, she just nodded and quickly grabbed her stuff keeping the tears from breaking threw.

She was angry with him, so angry. She looked back once more to see him sitting on the bed and just turned and slammed the door. He didn't care that that kiss had made her so alive, so happy. He was always so concerned with himself and no one else that self centered bastard.

The sound reverberated around his courtiers, the frames shaking. He shouldn't have done that he knew that but his anger for the old man had gotten the best of him. He had taken it out all on her she probably hated him.

The best very now was to forget about her, he was 23 again he had unlimited options for him now, and many more years for him to search threw those options without care. She was just his student and still the silly little knows it all she's always been and nothing was going to change that at least he thought so.

As he took his usual seat for supper he glared at Lucius who was sitting beside him looking way to chummy for his own good. Then he saw it as he heard people talking excitedly turning his eye to the commotion he saw Potter and Weasley hugging her to death.

"Hey, guys," she said trying to smile.

"Hey you feeling better gave us a fright," Harry said ruffling her hair in a brotherly way, but to Snape a streak of anger shot threw him.

"I'm better now just too much work," she said sitting down, not even glancing at him well if she could give him the cold shoulder he could most definitely give her a good one to.

She looked around at her friends they were all so happy. Harry was hugging Ginny to him; she knew very well that the two were madly in love. Happiness filled her as she saw Ginny so happy and so alive, and Ron who had finally gotten over his crush for her was talking to Parvati about classes the two were actually getting it off much better than the constant bickering she had heard of for so long. It seemed that everyone had someone but her; she was always the one alone. At least they were happy her happiness could come later.

Then she thought of the kiss and looked up at the table, she saw his head down playing with his food; she looked to his left and there sat the evilest man alive watching her. Glaring at him for a few seconds, she started eating again.

"Wow Mione your worse than Ron," everyone laughed she did as well as she realized that she had been shoving food in her mouth, not caring for her stomach was demanding to be filled as fast as possible.

Everyone was complementing her on her knew hair, she loved it yes but every time someone brought it up she remembered the tub, and Severus. The way he could bring up emotions in her she didn't know she possessed.

The few soft kisses she had given were friendly. No heated of passionate but given in a moment of congratulations, mostly to Harry and Ron, but she blushed at the thought that she had given her first real kiss to him, yes she had to face facts that kisses on the cheek were not a real kiss but a show of sisterly affection. Never Victor though even though he had wanted something more she didn't feel that way but still they stayed friends, much to his disgust. However, Severus, stop why was she thinking of him, she hated it when he crept into her head at the most peaceful times to torment her. Pushing him out she sat there eating her food and laughing with friends, forgetting the pile of homework she had to do maybe it was time to have a little fun before it ran out, just this little time.

She had been told by McGonagall as soon as she had arrived back at her rooms that a member from the board of education was coming to evaluate her, she was nervous she had to admit it, but there was nothing she could do about it.

When all the food was gone and everyone sat, chattering Dumbeldore got up and stood. Silence filled the hall like a funeral, and soon everyone's attention was on him and him alone.

"Due to certain events the head director for the board of education Mr. Malfoy is here to inspect the school and so with a student that has amazing potential, let his stay here be welcomed and nice, thank you and have a nice night," the man said.

Harry and Ron glowered at the man, how could he be here now of all times. With that, they all left.

Hermione not even caring about her homework just jumped into the bed after stripping welcoming the cool sheets and drifted off, hopefully she wouldn't be haunted about a certain Professor and no I'm not talking about McGonagall that's just gross. How could you think those disgusting thoughts, lol.
