CH. 14 - With Every Upside Comes A Downside

"So, how does it feel to officially be dating a Malfoy?" I asked on my mobile, continuing to pack my pencils and parchment into my bookbag.

"It's good. I guess it means we are both officially off the market," Ginny replied from the other end.

"Don't sound so disappointed."

"I am not disappointed."

"Are you upset about the fact that you can't use code names anymore like Red and ducky?"

"I don't get it. Draco was never ducky."

"No, but his favourite toy is," I responded playfully, zipping up my bookbag.

"You will never let him live that down will you?" She said sighing.

"Never. But go on, what's wrong?"

"Like I said, I am not disappointed. It's just that neither of us has officially ever dated anyone exclusively. So, it will be a new experience."

"For what it's worth Gin, I am more than positive that he genuinely cares for you. And that is saying something."

"Yeah yeah. So, are you off to Harry's for a little rendezvous session?" Ginny said changing subjects.

"If you mean am I going over to finalise our English project, then yes," I answered grabbing my keys off of my bedside table.

"Mmm hmm," She responded, clearly not believing me.

"Gin, we have our presentation to focus on for next week. There can be no distractions."

"Well good luck with that one and enjoy your snogging session."

I rolled my eyes at her antics. Harry and I could be perfectly immersed in our schoolwork without having to touch or snog each other. Receiving good marks was important to both of us.

"…then I was thinking that we could end with the author's most influential quotes to really emphasize his work. What do you think?" I asked, turning to look at Harry from my position on his bed.

He just stared at me, looking at my lips for a couple of seconds before returning his gaze back up to my eyes. "Harry?!" I asserted, trying to get his attention.

"Yeah sure. Whatever you decide is brilliant. Now can I please kiss you?" He replied, leaning towards me before I placed my hand on his chest to stop him.

"Harry, we have a presentation next week. You need to focus," I said impatiently.

"I am focusing, focusing on how delicious your lips are and how good they feel against mine," He spoke with lust full in his voice. I tried to snap myself out of responding to that intoxicating sound.

"Maybe just a little break, but then we are getting back to work Potter," I asserted dropping my pencil on the ground.

"Yes ma'am," He replied smiling before leaning in to place his mouth upon mine.

I moaned against his lips, feeling his tongue swirl lazily with mine. I grabbed his unruly hair to pull him closer to me. He started rubbing the small of my back, making his way upwards. Breaking the kiss, he titled my head softly to the side to kiss along my neck. God his lips were heaven. I could never get enough.

I felt him place his hands under my shirt before rubbing his strong hands against my breast. "Harry," I gasped out in pleasure. I felt him smile against my neck. Smug bastard, but I loved every minute of it. Moving away from my neck, he gently pushed me to lie back against his welcoming mattress. He smiled at me before lifting my shirt up further to kiss his way down to my belly button. He swirled his tongue against it, making me squirm in delight. I felt him start to unbuckle my trousers and I covered my hands over his.

"I've never gone this far before," I spoke out nervously, biting my lip.

He immediately stopped his motions and sat up on the bed. Way to ruin the moment Granger.

"Oh, Hermione I'm sorry. I never considered that you might not have. It's just that I wanted you so much. Forgive me, we can stop," He said, trying desperately to amend the situation.

"I don't want to stop. I'm just nervous I suppose. I might not be that great," I said looking away from him.

He reached down and turned my face to make me look back into his eyes. "Hermione, I don't think that's possible. And I would never force you to do anything that you don't want to. You know that right?" He said beseeching me to trust him.

"Of course. I know that. You're not Cormac," I whispered, speaking the horrible name.

"We can get back to work on the pro—"

"Don't finish that sentence. I want to try. Harry, I want to be with you," I interrupted, placing his hand back on my belt.

He sighed, closing his eyes for a moment before looking back down at me. "Are you sure?" He asked, trying to catch any hesitancy on my part. I nodded up at him in approval. "How about we go a bit slower? I want to try something else with you."

"Okay," I replied, wondering what he meant.

"Do you trust me?"

"I do."

"Then just relax and let me take over," He said with a mischievous smile. I raised my eyebrow in response but nodded again in approval.

I did not like letting anyone take control of the situation beside myself. But I couldn't resist him. Nor could I resist that mouth. Speaking of mouths, Harry had just started kissing his way down my stomach before reaching for my belt and slowly pulling my trousers down. He then started kissing his way up my thighs and I had to bite my lip to keep from shouting uncontrollably at the wonderful feeling. Reaching for my knickers, he slowly started to pull them down. I willed myself to relax and not freak out. I couldn't believe this was actually happening.

"Relax baby," Harry said, as I started to calm down my breathing.

He inserted two fingers inside my slick folds and I gasped at the feeling…

I was panting like an oversized dog and I could care less. Harry was a god.

He kissed his way back up my body and laid down beside me, running his hands through my hair. He pulled me closer into his arms and kissed me softly. "You are absolutely fantastic," Harry said quietly against my mouth.

"You're not that bad yourself," I answered with a bright smile coming to my face.

He chuckled and I joined in as he reached for the blanket to cover our bodies. Snuggling in closer to his body, I never thought that I could feel this safe, this amazingly comfortable in my entire life. And that's when I realised that I was in love with Harry Potter.

Later that week—

Sitting in the park under my favourite tree, I was reading my book contently as I waited for Harry to arrive. Sirius had finally found out about Harry taking the Aston Martin out and decided that parenting was in order. Harry was technically grounded, but Sirius still did not understand the logistics behind it. Mainly the fact that one was not allowed to leave the house after such punishment was enacted. So naturally when Harry asked if he could go meet me at the park, Sirius said yes. I smiled at the thought. I wasn't complaining considering it meant that I got to see Harry. But maybe one day I would give Sirius some pointers on the logistics of parenting.

"Excuse me Miss, do you know the way to the nearest underground from here? I got all turned around. I am not from London," a man asked walking up to me with a map.

"Umm yeah sure. It's about 10 minutes walking down that way," I pointed behind him helpfully.

"Is that the quickest way to this restaurant on the map? I would really appreciate any help you could provide," He asked in distress.

Rising up from my place under the tree, I walked over to him and took a look at his map. He looked awfully familiar but I couldn't place it, before I could dwell too much on the idea, I felt the stranger place a cloth over my mouth. I kicked and screamed, trying as hard as I could to be released before I completely lost consciousness. My last thought was of Harry.

Oh no why do bad things always have to happen to Hermione? Well, because it wouldn't be a story without it lolz. Dun dun dun. So who do you all think the mystery guy is? Please be sure to review and tell me your ideas. =]
