CHAPTER NINE: Caught Snogging?
Hermione got up to a loud buzz from her alarm clock. She lazily dropped her hand on the "off" button. Memories of the previous night returned and she smiled to herself. Jade and Harry had finally confessed their feelings for each other and were now 'a couple,' no matter how much they deny it. She sighed. Her little match-making had actually worked, but the question was, would Jade's?
As if her thoughts traveled out the door and across the hall, Jade came waltzing into her cousin's room.
"Good morning!" she exclaimed happily as she skipped around, full of energy. She noticed her cousin standing there with a dazed expression on her face but failed to notice Malfoy on the floor next to the bed. "So…are you daydreaming of Malfoy already?" she asked snapping Hermione back to reality.
"Huh?" Hermione said stupidly. "Oh yeah," she said hoping that was the right answer. Jade smirked.
"Do you even know what I'm talking about?" she asked. Hermione shook her head. "Oh well, you gave the right answer anyway, I can tell by that 'dazed' look you've got there." She walked out the door leaving a still-dazed Hermione.
Hermione just shook her head hoping all thoughts of Draco would disappear. Then she realized Draco was still sleeping in her room.
"Erm…Jade? Can you leave for a second?" Hermione asked, trying to stall.
"Why?" Jade's usual answer came.
"Uh…well—" she didn't have time to explain because just then Draco woke up and groaned. Jade jumped. Draco stood up to face Jade's flabbergasted face. He realized he was only wearing his boxers. He looked at Hermione who was equally shocked at seeing him half naked.
She looked at Hermione with wide eyes. "Oh my…you two didn't do anything…did you?"
"NO!" both of them exclaimed.
"Honestly, Jade, do you think I'm that stupid?" Hermione said. "He's just here because…" she quickly explained about Blaise.
"Mmmkay," was her reply. She didn't seem to believe the two.
"Well if we actually did do what you're suggesting, not that we did! But if we did, do you think that she would make me sleep on the floor?" Draco pointed out. Jade considered the thought.
"Well, whatever, just hurry up and go downstairs. Don't fool around too much, lovebirds," she said and pranced out the door.
"Right…." Hermione said. Draco just stared at her. "Well, I would appreciate it if you'd put some clothes on," she said. Draco looked down and ran to the bathroom.
Hermione got up and started focusing on what was happening today. She picked up her daily organizer and read to herself. Jade was going back home today to quickly get her things for school. Hermione had almost forgotten she was going to be a transfer student at Hogwarts! She turned to see Draco leaving for breakfast and decided to get a robe and have some herself.
Hermione entered the Breakfast hall to find Draco arguing with Jade pulling her back from the sugar bowl by the hood again. Hermione shook her head and smiled she took a seat next to Harry who was eating eggs and bacon.
"Good Morning," Hermione said taking a plate and putting in some eggs and bacon.
"Well not really… Jade spotted the sugar cubes; I thought it was fine, she looks cute when she's like that… I mean…" Harry stopped and blushed. "Well anyway I thought it was okay…" Harry said and Hermione started to laugh. "Malfoy didn't agree though, he said you didn't want Jade to get sugar high again. So he's trying to stop her which is pretty easy. Considering Jade's only 100 pounds and 5' 5," Harry said.
"You know how much she weighs and how tall she is… and you memorized it? Harry awww… puppy love is so cute," Hermione said and Harry stuffed his face with some eggs and Hermione laughed and that's when Jade took a plop in a chair next to Hermione.
"I couldn't get the sugar cubes because your boyfriend stopped me! OoOoOo, yummy bacon," said Jade, picking up a piece of bacon and smothering it in syrup. She also leaned back in her chair a little too far and fell over. "Hahahahaha… I don't think I need the sugar cubes."
"Yeah you don't, Jay-Jay," Draco said smiling and helping her up. "I wasn't expecting to play babysitter this summer Hermione…" Draco said, propping up Jade and her chair up.
"Thank you, Draco, but I'm sure Jade can take care of herself, wait who's Jay-Jay?" Hermione asked suddenly confused.
"Jay-Jay, you know Harry's new name for Jade… Jay-Jay," Draco said smirking at Harry who was looking at Jade who was eating bacon.
"Hum… bacon; it's the second best thing to sugar cubes." Jade said gobbling down another piece of bacon. "So what are we going to do today? First Hermione get out of your pajamas!" Jade said smiling and Hermione blushed.
"Alright go on…" Draco said, "Is she just going to get out of her pajamas?"
"Hey she's staying off the simplicities, Draco!" Hermione scolded Draco and hit him in the arm and he smirked.
"I was just kidding, don't you have a sense of humor, or did that skip genes," Draco said looking from Hermione to Jade.
"Uh huh… ok anyway we got to go back to my house to get my stuff I bet my mom and brother will be there," Jade rattled on.
"You have a brother too?" Draco and Harry asked.
"What? Don't tell me I forgot to tell you… oh yeah I did. Ha!" Jade said chewing on another piece of bacon. "You'll meet him later," Jade said picking up another piece of bacon, but didn't get a chance to eat it because Draco pulled it out of her hands. "Hey I was going to eat—"
"No more bacon for you, you're already weird enough," Draco said putting the bacon down.
"Malfoy I thought you didn't want to play babysitter?" Harry asked..
"Well considering there are so many babies in here, maybe I should," Draco said.
"Stop it, you're all acting like babies!" Hermione scolded again. "Now I hope you three can behave yourselves while I go get dressed." She walked off leaving the three to do whatever they like.
"You heard what the boss said, behave you two!" Draco said to the couple as he followed Hermione.
"Where's he going?" the two asked as they stared after him in confusion.
Draco followed Hermione up to her room quietly without her noticing. She was about to step into her room when he called after her.
"Uh…Hermione!" he stuttered. She turned around and faced him.
"Oh, Draco, what are you doing here?" she asked eyeing him suspiciously.
"I don't want to stay with those two lovebirds," he said. It was part true, but he really just wanted to be with her rather than Scar Head and that Wild Child.
"Oh…" Hermione said quietly. Had she been hoping he had come just to see her?
Draco sensed this and added quickly, "But I'd also just like to be with you."
"Oh," Hermione said with a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Is that all you have to say?" Draco asked getting closer to Hermione.
"No, it's just—" she was silenced when Draco lowered his lips onto hers. They broke away after a moment and Hermione looked away shyly. She loved the way Draco kissed her. He was so soft, very unlike him.
Knowing what effect he had on her, Draco said proudly, "I know I'm a damn good kisser." He smirked as Hermione blushed.
"Don't flatter yourself," Hermione said getting over the feeling that had taken over her. "Are we going to snog all day or are you going to come in?" Hermione asked as she walked through the door.
"Now that I think of it, a good snog wouldn't hurt…" Draco trailed off. Hermione lightly slapped him on the shoulder. He followed her through the doorway and they chatted about nothing in particular but ended up doing just that.
Meanwhile Harry and Jade were still downstairs at breakfast in yet another awkward silence.
"So…about your brother, is he younger?" asked Harry in curiosity. If he knew Jade had a brother he might not have confessed his feelings for her.
"Yes, but he's only a year younger," replied Jade. "Don't worry, he's not that mean," she added noticing Harry's uneasiness. "His name is Johnny. You'll meet him in a little bit since I'm going pretty soon. Let's go get Hermione and Malfoy. Who knows what they're doing now," she smiled slyly when Harry winced.
They walked together down the hall and stopped at Hermione's door. It was partly open so they let themselves in. Sitting in two comfortable chairs were Draco and Hermione who had just noticed them walk in. They had been snogging passionately but Hermione quickly pulled away.
"Ugh! Get a room!" Harry exclaimed while covering his eyes.
"Potter, we are in a room. I suggest you two learn how to knock," Draco said as a flushed Hermione straightened herself up and tried very hard not to blush.
"Uh…well I'm sorry we disturbed your little snogging session but I was wondering if you two were going to accompany me home to pick up my stuff," Jade said smiling innocently.
"Actually I would rather—" Draco started jut to have his mouth clamped shut by Hermione.
"We'd love to come," Hermione said calmly as she kept her hand over Draco's mouth and glared at him. She removed her hand and he scowled.
"Okay great, let's get going then," Harry said shaking the thought of Hermione and Draco out of his mind. He followed Jade, or Jay-Jay, out the door.
"Let's go, Draco," she said getting up and walking out the door.
"Stupid, Potter," Draco muttered to himself. "Always has to ruin my good moments."
