Chapter 3
Hermione threw her shoes at Draco as they ran towards their shared head students common room off of the great hall. Draco caught them with ease and raced down the stairs. Hermione laughed and slid down the banister, the high of luck still strong. Draco caught her as she reached the bottom, kissing he softly as she landed in his arms. Hermione slid out of his arms and took his hand as they approached the door.
Draco spoke for the first time, "Hellebore."
Hermione smiled as the door opened and they stepped through the hole and were welcomed by the roaring fire.
"I'm going to go change into something more comfy than this stupid tie," said Draco, pulling it over his head.
"I agree, but you do look really sexy like that."
Draco smiled,"don't think I don't want to see you in less than that dress." He ducked as a stiletto came flying at his head, "you even sexier when your mad."
"oh shut your mouth and kiss me Malfoy!"
Draco smiled and pulled her close before lowering his head to hers, meeting her lips with a fiery passion. Hermione closed her eyes and sank into the kiss, completely submerged in the bliss.
Hermione pulled back first and ran into Draco's room. He followed her and laid her back on the bed. He climbed on the bed next to Hermione and kissed her neck and bare shoulders. She smiled and sighed as his mouth came over hers.
"can I sleep here tonight Draco?"
"it's my dream to hear you say that." She smiled as Draco got up and pulled out a shirt for her. " I don't care if your room is a whole 10 feet away, your not leaving."
"only if you turn around."
He turned around and put his hands over his eyes as Hermione slipped out of her dress and pulled the dark gray tshirt over her head.
"I love you," she said as the night ended and the day began. She rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep. Draco locked his fingers with hers and followed her in the darkness of dreams.
