A/N: Hey guys, I can't help it I'm having thoughts at the moment. I have the last chapter of this story planned right down to the last word so now all I have to do is get there. Um, I don't know what else to say...how odd! Oh I know, this chapter really does earn its M rating…
Hotkat144: You are the first person to review all the time. Lucius is an ass...it's why I like him, I love evil people, hehe one day I'm going to take Voldemort home with me. I think Narcissa is caring in her own way...she cares about Draco but rather than letting him live his own life she wants him to be like Lucius, after all she married and loves Lucius. Wow, that's a really long reply.
Erytha: Haha, I'm glad it was funny, I'm terrible at serious when it comes to Draco, last chapter my only thought was that he had to end up injured coz it's funnier.
Yoyen007: I was so tempted to make it something else when I read your review just to make you wrong but it ended up just being funnier to do what you guessed. I hate lawn mowers, they are evil...I'm not sure why exactly but they are! Haha evil Stepfather, that's classic! You make me laugh all the time; it's like I wait for your review just to read something funny! Lucius is such a rain on everyone's parade kinda guy...
Emgem: Oh I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages but I just run out of things to say and then (like now) I have an influx of ideas...I will try to do better!
FairyPrincessWithATwist: I thought that Hermione probably deserved to punch him, I know I would've. We'll see about Malfoy…
SupastarEden: Always happy to make someone's day! I love Zeppelin so Hermione got to wear my shirt, coz yes I own one and wear it like there's no tomorrow. As long as she entertaining it's ok!
Mandsiepop: Happy birthday! Well it was a while ago but eh…I am updating at as rapid a speed as I can!
Ebbe04: Yes me too, he is just such and evil villain…now all I can think of is a shot from behind a chair, finger tips together and evil, cackling laughter.
Marauders rox: Thank you…
PrincessSnuffles: Yay, go being added!
Michelle Felton: Lol, if you had left me there would be no review!
Disclaimer: HP is MINE! Really I bought the rights and am now a millionaire! OK, not really but, one day, one day I tell you...those rights will be mine! P.S. Does anyone actually read these stupid things?
Where we left off, at the houseHermione climbed out of the shower, pulling on her boxer shorts and a tank top, she walked out into the hallway and nearly ran into the wall, there were no lights on.
"Draco?" She called feeling her way along the wall, "why aren't the lights on?"
Then she reached the dining room she saw a slight glow emitting from two red candles sitting on the table for two, soft music playing through the sound system in the living room. There were 2 plates of spaghetti sitting on placemats and a glass of wine next to each plate. Hermione smiled as she saw Draco walk around the table and pull her chair out for her, a small purple mark clearly visible on his jaw line. Hermione walked into the room and sat down in the chair; Draco walked around the table and sat on the other side.
"You, Draco Malfoy, are a very good suck up artist" Hermione stated, a smile spreading across her lips. Hermione was starting to realise that it was very hard to stay angry with Draco, every time you thought you were angry he did something sweet and you had to forgive him. Draco smiled slyly and picked up his glass of wine to toast with Hermione. As she raised her glass he stopped her.
"You have to use my word," he said.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, it's just I can't toast when people want to say cheers," Draco stated sheepishly, "I say źivili." Hermione looked at Draco for a second and then raised her glass to his and said at the same time as him "źivili."
Hermione smiled and took a sip of wine, before she picked up her fork and plunged it into the mass of noodles and meat in front of her. She twirled the fork, picking up the noodles as it went, and then Hermione put the fork into her mouth, pulled it out, while she started to eat the noodles that were in her mouth. As she swallowed she started to laugh at the look on Draco's face, he was looking at her with utter dismay.
"God Hermione, could you at least try to look lady like?" He asked in mock revulsion.
Hermione giggled whilst looking guilty, "sorry, but I'm so hungry" she said doe eyed and coy. She bit her bottom lip and looked up through her eyelashes, Draco laughed and picked up his own fork and following her lead stuffed his mouth. Hermione's eyes widened and she began to laugh harder "you dork" she giggled.
When Draco had finished his mouthful and grinned. "Now you know what it looks like you might be less likely to subject me to it" he said before settling back in his chair and eating with the most refined tables manners Hermione had ever seen. They'd never eaten at the table like this before and she could see why Draco had been against, he looked so, well, formal and it looked like he couldn't help it. She smiled and continued to eat in a much more ladylike fashion.
Draco picked up his wineglass and sipped from it, looking over the rim at Hermione who was trying her best to match his table manners. He couldn't help the way he ate, his parents used to have friends over every other night and his mother would not stand for him to be shown up by the other children. He had learnt at a very early age that if he could eat properly he would be allowed to dine with the guests.
Draco watched the way the lighter parts of Hermione's hair twinkled in the candlelight. This was the way he liked her, relaxed, she looked so beautiful eating in front of him in her pyjamas. Her eyes glowed with laughter as he told a stupid joke, he smiled back at her.
Once they finished eating, the two teens sat at the small table and played did you know with each other, both trying to outsmart the other.
"Did you know your forearm and your foot are the same length?" Hermione asked, Draco shook his head and she took that small moment to smile victoriously.
"Did you know that a pig's orgasm lasts 30 minuets?" Draco asked and when Hermione stared precariously back him he returned her triumphant look.
"Only a boy would be interested in how long a pig orgasms for. Did you know that the common water molecule (H2O) consists of 2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom? However, in this state the atoms are 'unbalanced', as both hydrogen atoms are on the one side resulting in a positive charge on the hydrogen side of the molecule and a negative charge on the oxygen side" Hermione said smiling for remembering that whole piece of information when she had never studied chemistry.
"Did you know that in South Korea every year people participate in the annual Poryong Mud Festival, in which people throw mud at each other all day?" Draco asked and when Hermione nodded he couldn't help but be impressed.
"We went once when I was about 7," Hermione said, "did you know the country of Liechtenstein in the Swiss Alps can be rented for corporate functions?"
"Serious? How do you know that?"
"Read it somewhere, I don't remember where though."
"Ok, well, did you know that dolphins are the only animal other than humans that have sex for pleasure?" Draco said trying to keep a straight face as Hermione nodded in the affirmative.
"Did you know that in New York it's illegal to let your donkey sleep in your bathtub?" Hermione asked before cracking up.
"So if it was someone else's donkey you could let it sleep in your bath tub?" Draco asked making Hermione collapse in a fresh bout of giggles.
"How stupid is that?" She asked between giggles.
"Um, exceptionally stupid," Draco replied laughing a bit himself, "hey Granger…"
"Yeah?"
"Smile if you want me!" Draco said watching Hermione try to stop smiling, which she not only failed in doing but if anything her grin widened. The Gryffindor and Slytherin fell into a comfortable silence, when Draco heard the strains of Hall and Oates' Kiss on My List.
"Want to dance?" He asked Hermione, smiling and holding out his hand.
"Really?" She asked. Draco shook his outstretched hand a bit to indicate he was serious. Hermione took his hand and they both stood and moved to the right of the table. Draco spun Hermione around and caught her as she came back wrapping one arm loosely around her waist and holding her hand in the other. Hermione placed her free hand on Draco's shoulder and they started to move to the rhythm that the song was setting. Quite unexpectedly Draco started to sing into Hermione's ear,
"Because your kiss, your kiss, is on my list. Because your kiss, your kiss, is on my list. Because your kiss, is on my list of the best things in life" he sung softly. Hermione smiled as his breath tickled her neck; Draco gently dipped her and pulled her back up, kissing her on the cheek. They made eye contact and smiled at each other before leaning in to kiss, for real this time. Draco's lips parted just enough to let his tongue wander out and glide over Hermione's bottom lip, causing her to part her them and let his tongue slide into her mouth. She smiled as they stayed this way for a good deal of time before they broke apart only to come back together in short, feathery kisses.
Draco picked Hermione up and carried her outside and into his room, as to avoid the cameras. When they reached their destination Draco dropped Hermione on the bed and climbed on top of her pressing himself against her, Hermione gasped as Draco's cold hand met the skin under her t-shirt. Draco stopped for a moment before she raised an eyebrow at him. Draco's hand continued on its path upward as he brought their lips together again. Hermione made eye contact before grabbing the bottom of her shirt and pulled it over her head leaving her in her bra and bottoms. Then with a sly look she grabbed the bottom of Draco's top and pulled it off. She trailed her finger down the middle of his chest and over the stomach resting at the top of his pants. Draco grabbed at Hermione's waist and rolled them so she was on top of him, letting her feel his growing length. She smiled and hooked a finger in the top of his pants and pulled them off, then slipped his only remaining garment off after that. Draco looked at Hermione with wide eyes; he really hadn't expected this. Then, not wanting to be the only one exposed, proceeded to remove what she had left on her which proved to be a lot for a teenage boy waiting for his moment.
Draco entered with surprising speed for someone who'd never done this before. Hermione gasped, which was followed by a number of short breaths, Draco stopped and looked at her, after a moment she nodded tears shining in her eyes.
"Are you sure?" Draco asked in a gentle voice, to which Hermione nodded vigorously. Draco started to slide in and out slowly at first, not wanting to cause Hermione any pain. Soon, the pace started to quicken, Hermione rising to meet Draco's speed. He was breathing rapidly, holding tightly to Hermione as he felt himself on the verge of his climax. With a last deep breath from the former archenemies, there was a shudder and long moan issued from their lips, almost in unison.
They lay there for a moment before Draco rolled off Hermione, somewhere in the course of the action they had switched places, and leaving their legs entwined, they smiled at each other.
"Did you know that in America it's illegal to tie a giraffe to a telegraph pole?" Hermione asked giggling.
A/N: Ok, sorry it's taken so long but I found writing sex really weird, I'm not even sure I did it well. Um, now to other news, if you are wondering, my grandad was Croatian so I have an allergy to toasting with the word cheers. If you don't believe me, last year at my year 10 formal I had to find the only other person I know with Croatian in them and toast with her coz everyone else wanted me to say cheers. Źivili is said jiv-ill-ee but the j is said like a cross between a j and a z. And if nothing else it gives Draco a bit of culture.
Oh and thanks to my friends, Greg, Hammy and Bec (NICKY!) for their great and in Bec's case useless 'did you know…' facts, oh and Ripley's believe it or not book for the ones that aren't from these three!
Much love and later dayz

P.S. Seeing as 17 is of age in the wizarding world they can drink wine as far as I'm concerned!
