All In This Together

The students remaining in the great hall watch the procession of teachers leave and waited all of five seconds before they once again broke out in excited chatter, all wondering one thing – who had done it? Only a select few seemed to know what was going on but they were saying nothing.

Harry being one of the main perpetrators was currently being quietly congratulated by the other seventh year Gryffindor's who had been present when the plan to get Colin Creevey had been formulated and he couldn't be happier with its results. He exchanged another smirk with his Slytherin partner in crime and noticed that he too was receiving similar treatment, albeit a little less enthusiastic.

Nobody noticed two of the seventh years get up and leave the hall by some unspoken agreement. The two said nothing as they moved stealthily through the halls – after all it was highly suspicious that these two were together at all, being a Slytherin and a Gryffindor and it was sure to be questioned.

"Did you get the stuff?" The red headed boy asked not looking at his companion.

The girl beside him snorted in a very un-lady like manner before relying "You sound like were doing a drug deal, like on one of those muggle television programs. But yes Weasley I got the stuff, and let me tell you it wasn't easy. But it will all be worth it by the end of the month" she sneered a smirk gracing her pug like features.

"Good it wont work without it" he replied stepping up the pace a little and turning another corner, watching the shadows carefully as if someone would jump out at them any minute.

"Twenty One days you said. Are you sure there isn't a way to speed up the process? I mean I want that bitch away from him as soon as possible; god knows what could happen in twenty one days" Her shrill voice made him cringe slightly

"Trust me if there was an easier way we would be doing it; I want her away from him now; god knows what the slimy cockroach is up to" he muttered more to himself than her – after all she may be his accomplice in this plan but that didn't mean he liked her. She was the only one desperate enough to go along with his scheme.

"Honestly it's her that's up to something. The little bookworm probably slipped him a love potion because she couldn't get anyone else to look at her"

"Shut up Parkinson. Hermione would never stoop to something like that – I bet it was the other way around, I bet that greasy git Snape even gave the ferret the potion, them being all buddy-buddy" he practically growled his features flushing in anger. Pansy snorted again this time it resembled laughter he supposed that was as close as a Slytherin would come to such a reaction.

"What?" he asked suspiciously

"You honestly believe that the Professor and Draco are on good terms? Snape only puts up with him because Draco's father sucks his cock in return for his sons good grades" she said matter-of-factly

"He what?" Ron almost bellowed, eyes bulging out of his head

"You heard me Weasel, don't make me repeat it. Anyway were here now, are you sure this place is secure?" she asked opening the door and entering, her nose crinkling in disgust.

"Sure is. Now lets get started before anyone realises were missing"

"Is everything ok Draco?" Hermione asked on their way back to their common room. They had left the Hospital Wing and had been dismissed from their classes till after lunch.

"Hmm sure. Why do you ask?" he said looking at the ground as he walked beside her

"You're awfully quite is all. I thought something might be bothering you?" she said quietly.

"No nothing's bothering me. I was just thinking about Creevey" he still wouldn't look at her as he said this.

"What about him?" she asked clutching the envelope of photos they had threatened out of Colin tighter to her chest.

"Just wishing I had been able to get him back myself. Nobody asked Potter and Zabini to interfere" a little heat crept back into his voice and she grinned

"Yes but that's what friends are for. To defend you when someone does you wrong" she said gently. He didn't respond as they entered their dorm and settled on the couch in front of the fire. Hermione relaxed between his legs, her head on his chest listening to his rhythmic heartbeat. He lazily stroked her hair obviously still brooding.

"Draco what's really wrong?" she asked propping her chin up and looking at his face. He sighed deeply.

"Last night" he muttered "I feel bad about last night"

"What about last night?" she asked frowning in confusion. Last night in her opinion had been fabulous.

"I-I went too far. You should have told me to stop. I'm so sorry Hermione, I never meant to hurt you" he blurted averting his gaze. She watched as his Adams apple bobbed a few times as he fought back his emotions.

"What do you mean hurt me? You didn't hurt me" she said sitting up and turning to face him. Taking his face between her hands she turned his head to look at her.

"Draco you didn't hurt me" she said firmly her gaze willing him to believe her.

"But the bruises and you could barely stand and …" he took a deep breath and tried to look away unable to finish what he was going to say.

"Honey you didn't hurt me. A few marks are normal, I honestly can't believe you never noticed them before" she smiled gently in reassurance.

"Are you sure? You're not just lying to make me feel better?"

"No I promise. Their not even there any more" she told him kissing his lips lightly he looked so hopeful when she pulled away.

"Really?" he asked wide eyed. She nodded and stood up smirking down at his confused look. She drew off her black pullover revealing a button down white shirt which she removed slowly button by agonising button. Next came her skirt and finally all she was left in was an electric blue bra and fluoro green underwear. This combination made him smirk and she looked down at herself with a rueful grin before shrugging her petite shoulders and turning in a slow circle for him.

"See … no marks" she told him before coming to stop facing him once again.

"Hmmm …" he hummed tapping him lips with his forefinger and assessing her body almost clinically "I think you will have to take off the rest of your clothes just so I can be sure" he told her his tone held a playful note and she grinned complying to his wished quickly, slowly turning for him once more.

"Better?" she asked stopping again to face him; his eyes seem transfixed on her chest for the time being.

"Once more just to be sure" he ordered his voice a little husky; she grinned knowingly and executed the turn but half way around she found herself pulled into his lap and squealed in surprise.

"Not a mark in sight. Perfection" he breathed in her ear and she squirmed slightly. She felt his hand fumble between them and the sound of the rasping zipper of his pants. "It would still be best if we gave you a thorough examination" he continued sweeping the hair away from her neck and kissing a rather sensitive spot before ordering her to lean forward.

With her head almost between her knees she shivered in anticipation as he shimmied a bit to push his pants further down his thighs before grasping her hips and angling her just right. The breath whooshed from her lungs as he entered her in one thrust and she continued to gasp at the most amazing sensation as he seemed to hit just the right spot. He continued to take her like this for long minutes and she was mindless, almost to the point of sobbing when he pulled her back against his chest.

This new angle was so different to the one before that she cried out as previously neglected spots were assaulted and her barriers were stripped. It wasn't long before she was a quivering mess in his arms straining and crying out for release as he pumped in and out of her, his breathing harsh in her ear sounding just as close as she was.

All of a sudden a brilliant white light invaded her peripheral vision and her whole body exploded as the damn inside her burst and she came screaming and bucking against the now groaning Slytherin. Her milking contractions were what bought him over the edge and his hoarse cries filled the small common room as the two floated on some far off plane awash with sensation.

Her breathing was as harsh as his she leant back against his heaving chest and rested her head against his shoulder closing her eyes in bliss.

"I would never hurt you intentionally 'Mione. I love you" he whispered into her hair. It took him a few moments to realise she hadn't heard him as she was now fast asleep against him.
