There was a sudden knock on the door that made me jump in my lonesome room. I crawled off my bed and twisted the doorknob. Oh thank God, it was only Ginny. I ushered her in and we sat on the bed.
"Are you okay, Hermione?" She asked. "I saw you run up here before, you looked pretty angry."
I took a long deep sigh. "Yeah, I'm okay now." After a few moments of silence, I told her all about the encounter with Malfoy.
"He-he's just so frustrating!" I wailed, throwing my hands up in the air.
The whole time Ginny stared at me like a lunatic. Then she bursted into a fit of giggles.
"What is so funny, Gin?!"I hollered.
Ginny settled down and wiped a tear from her eye. "Well if I didn't know better, I'd say you have a little crush on Malfoy." She teased.
"WHAT? I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON MALFOY. ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NO!"
"Alright alright, keep your hair on." Ginny orated. "I was merely suggesting-"
I sighed and nodded. After a few minutes of catching up, I told her I was going to take a walk and she let me go. I skipped down the stairs and walked a fast pace, keeping my head low and taking an odd interest at the floor. Maybe I was overreacting, I thought, maybe-
Oof! I bumped into a stiff figure and tumbled back, expecting to crash. However, I didn't. The person I bumped into ran back and caught me mid-air and saved me from tumbling down into a pool of utter humiliation.
I rubbed my sore head and looked up. "Thank yo- oh. Malfoy." I scowled.
"Now now is that a way to thank your saviour?" He smirked.
I jumped out of his grasp and an awkward silence dawned on us again. "Listen Granger," Malfoy said. "I apologise about what happened before. I guess I was just so used to teasing you and you know what they say…old habits die hard." He finished off with another smirk.
I flashed a smile. "Even when you're apologising, you can still make someone laugh while doing so."
"Wanna go for a walk?" he asked ineptly. I agreed and we spent the rest of the day getting to know each other. Soon, I noticed that the sun began to set. So did Malfoy. It was starting to get pretty dark so we decided to head back. Malfoy grabbed my hand and lifted me up. This time, he didn't let it go. He held onto it until we got back to our own dorms. To my surprise his hand wasn't cold and icy, it was actually warm and his soft skin felt nice against mine. I mentally slapped myself for thinking of such absurd thoughts.
When we arrived in front of my dorm room, it was way past curfew and we had to try devise a plan to sneak me in without getting caught. I turned to Malfoy about to tell him to leave when he looked at me with alarmed eyes. There were sounds of several footsteps approaching. Malfoy pulled me behind a pillar and we waited for the footsteps to pass.
When they had gone, I only just realised how close my body was to him. I peeled away from Malfoy's arms but he pulled me back in. He held me close and wrapped his arms around my waist. Butterflies were swarming inside my tummy. What was the boy playing at? First he's the self-absorbed prick I've known for the past 7 years of my life and then he opens up to a completely new personality. This wizard is doing my head in real bad.
"Malfoy, what are you playing at?" I hissed. He didn't reply and just smirked.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy, you answer me right now or ill –" Suddenly he pressed his lips against mine and left me in a new state of shock. Fireworks exploded inside of me and made my insides melt. The kiss was so passionate and captivating I lost control and wrapped my arms around his neck. I felt my whole body tingle at the sensation his lips. His arms wrapped around my body and he held me even closer than we already were. Finally, we broke apart and he laid his forehead against mine. He was breathing heavily as his steel grey eyes stared into mine.
"Good night Granger," he whispered with a wink, leaving me stunned and breathless for the rest of the night.
* Yay! They finally kiss! Hahah, writing my next chapter as soon as possible. Please R&R 3
