Apparated back to his apartment with an unconscious Hermione. Draco carried her in a bridal style into his guest room, gently placed her onto the king size four-poster bed afraid to wake her up. He sat on the armchair right next to the bed feeling exhausted, shooting a quick cleaning spell at his robes, he got rid of Hermione's vomit which smell strongly of fire whiskey.
Sitting on the comfortable armchair, he starred at Hermione sleeping graciously on the bed like a sleeping beauty. Draco could now look at Hermione closely without worrying he would get caught. Her chest raised up and down as she breathed steadily in her sleep. Her pink chiffon lip with a little gloss remained from the night, the lips that Cormac almost managed to steal a kiss from slightly parted like an invitation for Draco. Her thick long eyelashes covered her closed eyes, how much Draco wished he could see her amber colour eyes.
Suddenly, Hermione rolled to the side, her sleeping face now facing directly towards Draco. Sleeping on her side, a curvy S shaped line has formed from her shoulder down to her toes. Draco was surprised what a seductive body Hermione has. The Hermione he remembered was always dressed in baggy nerdy looking outfit, which did an incredible job at covering her amazing body. The side cut of her dress showing her long smooth snowy legs. Without him noticing, Draco's hand has reached for his groin. His hand started slowly to stroke his now enlarging member. He allowed himself to join a screen where Hermione woke up in the middle of her dream, inviting him to join her together in the bed, seducing him with her amber coloured eye, fluttering her thick eyelashes. She sat up on the bed with one of her arm holding her weight and her other hand reaching to the hem of her dress. Teasing him brutally, she slowly pulling it up exposing a large part of her leg and covered it back quickly. He could see himself climbing onto the bed, pushing her beneath him, He leaned forward kissing from her shoulder, moving his way from her collar bone up to her neck. He whispered into her ear and tell her to stop teasing him. His hand started to stroke faster as he pictured himself slipping his hand into her strapless bra, cupping them on her soft breasts, slowly massaging them. She would play with his ear and moaned softly next to it. And there he found himself reaching one of the most satisfying release he had for a long time, so much better than having sex with any of his slag.
He was relieved the moan he made didn't wake up Miss sleeping beauty. Embarrassed that he just masturbated to a drunken Hermione like a virgin teen. Seriously what was he, seventeen? He stood up, cleaned himself up with a quick spell and headed towards to his shower. Still couldn't believe what he had just did. Honestly what had gotten into him? What he just did was quite a creepy thing to do.
After a hot shower, Draco made his way to the kitchen and brewed one of his specialties – The Hanger-Over potion, he had a feeling the sleeping beauty would appreciate this when she woke up. He then returned back to the guest room and checked on Hermione. Although she was still sleeping, her body was shivering from the December cold. Draco quickly grabbed the super-loft alpaca wool quilt and placed over her. Not long after Hermione settled back into her sleep, she started murmuring words in her dream. It took awhile before Draco could figure out she was murmuring about waffles. Sitting back on the armchair, Draco could feel his eye lids getting heavier and soon he too drifted off to sleep.

Morning couldn't come sooner, the sunshine shone right though the curtain gap onto Hermione's face. The warm sensation the sun brought slowly wakens the sleeping beauty. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the sunlight. The pillow her head was resting on was so soft, the sheet she was sleeping on was so smooth and felt like silk and the bed wow it was huge and spacious! And that was when she realised, this amazing bed she was on was definitely not her own bed. What was the last thing she remembered from last night? Oh the part Cormac was trying to force his lips on her or the nice sandalwood scent she smelt? Her head hurts like hell, she was clearly suffering from the aftermaths of large consumption in alcohol, she quickly switched on her awareness mood. She sat up and checked her surroundings. What she found was this nice room decorated with emerald and pearl striped wallpaper, on her right hand side was a huge bookshelf that reeks of the smell of old books, in front of her bed was a dark elder wood made desk and chair and finally to her left a strange yet familiar male sleeping on an armchair. Even with his head down, Hermione could see his handsome features and the signature platinum blonde hair had confirmed her this divine looking man was no others but Draco Malfoy. She couldn't believe she had slept in the same room with Malfoy, how did that happen? Judging from her clothing, she was still well dressed and from where he was sleeping she could only assume nothing happened last night. But even though she hadn't spoke to Draco for 5 years, she was familiar with his reputation around women. Just the thought she might had unknowingly had sex with Draco Malfoy made her let out a squeak. She immediately covered her mouth with both of her hands but it was too late, she had woke him up.
"Morning, Granger. I trust you have slept well?" Draco getting up from the armchair he slept in last night, his muscle felt so sore.
"It was very well thank you. Uhh.. The bed was very comfortable." Hermione was nervous, holding her knees up almost hiding her face behind it. "Um. Malfoy, how did I get here? I mean nothing happen between us last night right?"
"Beside you kept screaming I am the best shag of your life?" Hermione's eyes dilated at Draco words. Draco was amused by her reaction. "No Miss brightest witch of our time, I am particular picky with my women. I like them responsive and conscious. Definitely not when they smell like vomit and completely passed out." He rolled his eyes at Hermione couldn't believe she thought so low of him.
"So Malfoy, how did I end up in your apartment again?" Hermione asked, she still couldn't recall how she ended up at his place.
"Where do I even begin? I happened to witness your tug-o-war who's house are we heading to tonight with McLaggen. I must say you were losing badly, so I thought I would join in for some fun. Clearly McLaggen was scared of me so he bailed and you for once failed to answer a simple where do you live question, passed out completely. I was stranded with you. Satisfy Granger?" Draco answered her question, a bit annoyed.
"Now, the guest bathroom is just the door over there. There are fresh towels for you and I have my house elf brought over some clothes my mom put aside for the charity over here. You might want to change into those."
Hermione turned on the tap and stepped into the shower. She felt revived under the warm running water. The luxurious shower gel and shampoo he owned smell pleasantly of sandalwood, She now understood why people paid so much galleons for this. The heavenly smell of sandalwood brought her to a shower paradise, how much she wished she could stay longer. With regrets she switched off the tap, grabbed the soft towel and stepped out of the shower. God did everything in this house has to be all green and expensive? She looked at the cloths Draco prepared for her. The material was so fine and tailored nicely. She picked the olive green robe out of the three outfits lying there. The robe was so light but she felt so warm in it and it fitted her perfectly. The Malfoy sure did know how to live life. She made her way to the living areas where Draco was just sitting gracefully at the table reading the daily prophet.
"Well here is your breakfast" Draco pointed to the dishes spread out on the table.
"Waffles?" Hermione couldn't help when she saw the main dish, funny thing was she actually dreamt about waffle last night.
" Well, you have been murmuring about waffles in your sleep the whole night, I thought you were placing your breakfast order." Said Draco, sipping his cup of coffee.
" Ah thanks, well if it's not too much. Can I have a coffee with my breakfast?" Hermione desperately need of coffee, her head was still suffering from the post damage after the fire whiskey binge drinking.
"No, you can't. You can buy your own coffee on your way home." Draco replied. " but you can have the hanger over potion next to your waffles."
Hermione was surprised by Draco hospitality towards her. Where was the foul little cockroach she punched in her third year. She hesitated and asked " Wow your service has been great. Do you always treat the women who stay over so well?"
Taking a large sip of the hang over potion, she instantly felt like floating from hell to heaven, no more headache. That hang over potion was definitely from a hand of an expert potioneer.
"Well, I never let them stay over. I kicked them out before I go to bed." Draco didn't understand why he was explaining his personal life to Hermione. "So technically you are the very first women who stayed over in this place." He checked out the dress Hermione was now wearing, it really suited her.
"Ah wow, I don't know what to say." His answer took her by surprise. "But mind if I asked why weren't you sleeping in your own bed last night?"
"Ah I was too busy figuring your breakfast order and felt asleep." Draco hiding his blush behind the newspaper.
Embarrassed by his inappropriate behaviour towards to Hermione last night. The presence of Hermione in his apartment some how made him extremely nervous and uncomfortable. He had lost his normal confidence around women.
A brown handsome owl flew in from the window and a letter landed on Draco's lap broke the silence between them. He opened the envelope and the letter was from Blaise.
Draco,
Hey mate, where were you after the minister speech? I was trying find you the whole night! Remember that witch who sat opposite us during the dinner? She and her other amazing hot friend was totally up for a four get together. Well I end up taking both of them home, fucking amazing night!
Anyhow fancy for lunch? Wanna go thru some of the details for our project.
Owl me back and I will kick the sluts out, orelse I might go for a 7th round.
Blaise
Draco grabbed a quill and a piece of paper. Quickly scribbled "Sure, see you at 12. Usual lunch spot." gave it back to the owl and watched it fly off.
"You busy today?" Hermione asked, finishing her waffle. It was delicious, she wondered if Draco made it himself.
"Yeah, and now you are in the way." Said Draco, folding his newspaper and finished his coffee.
"Hey! I didn't ask you bring me back here!" Hermione stood up clearly offended by Draco's word.
"So you prefer to pass out in Cormac's arm? I am afraid in that case he wouldn't mind to ask you to stay for lunch too." Draco gave Hermione his signature smirked knowing it would annoy her. "And there I was thinking I was rescuing you. My apologies Granger."
Hermione's face flushed with redness because she knew Draco was right. She should be grateful for what he had done for her.
"Well, my apologies actually. I do own you a big thank you for helping and taking care of me last night. I couldn't imagine how will my night ended if you weren't there. So thank you again Malfoy." Hermione waved her wand and the dishes and cup magically clean itself and returned to the cupboard. "I guess I should better get going. Thanks for breakfast and the clean robe. I will return it once it has been cleaned."
"Don't worry about the robe. By the way this is one of the most secure apartment building in Britain. So you will have to exit the building first and the security ward ends at the garden gate. You should have no trouble apparating from there." Draco walked Hermione to the door, holding it open for her.
"Ah, Thanks for everything. I guess I will see you… in another 5 years?" said Hermione.
"Granger, please stop trying to be funny, you are doing a poor job in it. But we will see each other sooner than you think, until then." He smiled and closed the door, leaving Hermione standing at the door looking absolutely clueless. What does Malfoy mean by sooner than I think?
^o^ ^o^ ^o^ ^o^
^o^ ^o^ ^o^ ^o^
"Over here Mate!" Blaise waved at Draco as he walked into the restaurant.
"Blaise, you are in a good mood. I assume your morning has been great?" Draco sat down and quickly placed his order so the waitress could just leave him alone.
"Just the usual you know, although I would say you definitely missed out a great night." Blaise laughed. "Where were you anyway? Did you take someone home? Is that why I couldn't find you the whole night?"
"Yes, I did." Draco smiled, well he wasn't lying he did take someone home.
"Was she great? Did you have a good time?" Blaise kept asking.
"Yeah I had a good time." Draco smiled once more. He wasn't lying about this either, he did find himself a good release last night.
"Well, details?" said Blaise.
"Blaise, may I ask why you are so interested in my previous night activity?" Draco started to get annoyed at Blaise persistence.
"Well, normally you couldn't stop bragging about your shag night to me. And look at you! All quiet and secretive about it." Blaise had known Draco ever since he was 8, he knew something Draco was not telling him.
"Well Blaise, I am just tired alright! Now stop asking me any more stupid questions." Draco pushed Blaise's face away from him and started on his meal.
"Wow tired huh? I guess the shag must be good then!" Blaise also started on his BLT burger, he was too busy this morning he hasn't had time for breakfast.
Blaise kept entertaining Draco about his wild sex adventure story last night, how great it was and the girls were keen for anything. The lunch went on really well, except the waitress kept checking if everything was fine every 10 minutes.
"Seriously, I am considering not tipping for her service." Draco had to eventually ask her to give them some privacy.
"She was just being attentive." Blaise said sarcastically.
"Yeah right, we both know she wasn't." said Draco. "Now that we finish hearing your amazing night story, lets talk about our project."
"Draco, you are such a joy killer!" Blaise pulled a manila folder from his bag and passed it to Draco. " So here are all the results from 300 voluntary test individuals include pure-blood, half-blood and muggle-born witches and wizards. I am pretty sure the ministry will be really impress with these results, its almost perfect."
"I am impressed with the results too. I was expecting to have a few more trails and prototypes before it reaches 90% success rate." Draco flipped through the pages reading the results and reviews from the test individuals. " Judging from the report. I am sure it will easily gain the support and approval from the ministry. I am going pass this report to Theo and see if he can do more improvement on the current design. I would like to see a 98% success rate."
"So have you set a date to present this to the people from the law department?" Blaise asked.
"Yeah I was speaking to Fredrick Lumen last night. He really likes the idea of the design, couldn't wait to see it. As long as I set up a date we are good to go." Said Draco confidently, in fact he was planning to visit Theo after this and showed him the report.
"Really, you know what I heard about Fredrick Lumen?" said Blaise. "Apparently he is retiring soon and guess who is he planning to be his successor?"
"What? Is your resource reliable?" Draco asked, Fredrick Lumen was the head of the law enforcement department. If he retired it would mean he need to present his design to someone new, not that he wasn't confident about his project but still he had invested too much time to start it over again. "And the successor?"
"No one else but our Gryffindor princess, mate." And somehow Blaise believed he saw a fainted blush on Draco's face when he mentioned Hermione.
Second Chapter :D Go Me :D Sorry about my long ass chapters :P I want to start slowly on the development between Draco and Hermione, gradually building up so when I write the dark part it will be so much more intense and better :D
Stay Tune :) After 5 years not crossing each other path. Hermione will find herself seeing more and more of Draco
