Round Two
Nothing happened for weeks on end.

I saw her

Hermione

Walking with her stupid little friends

Avoiding my gaze

We had no chance to continue our game

Until

A potions teacher paired us

Adrenaline filled my viens

The thrill of compitition
For the first part we worked silently

Both formulating our plans

I knew I was attracted to her

I couldn't help it

And I was tired of denying it

And she was obviously attracted to me

Time to play

"Cut the ingredients up, Granger."

She raised a delicate eyebrow

"Who said you were in charge of this project?"

"I did."

She obediantly started in on the ingredients

To my surprise

I could not help watching her

Her attantion to detail

Her submissively lowered head

I was becoming more and more attracted to her

She turned suddenly to look at me

Responding to my scrutiny

"Is there something you want, Malfoy-Ah!"

Blood flowed out of a fresh cut

I had distracted her

She was hurt

I took a hankerchief from my pocket

Wrapping it around her injured finger

My eyes never leaving hers

She was breathless

Spellbound by something

Her honey eyes confused

I held her hand for as long as I dared

Then I had to return to the game

And there was only one thing I wanted

Well, one thing I would say I wanted

"To win, Granger. I want to win."
