A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for taking so long to update, its end of semester at uni which means exams :( They're almost done so I should be updating more often. I hope you like this chapter!

When they returned to their common room hours later they dumped the bags of lingerie on the couch exhausted. Draco was sure that Granger had more pairs of underwear in those bags than she already had in her drawers. Draco made sure that she got properly fitted and then had spent the entire time picking pieces out and chucking them in baskets whilst Granger whined at him that she didn't need that many, or that one was too skimpy and this that and the other. He was itching to actually see her in a thong, specifically the nice lace Slytherin green one he'd had to fight particularly hard to keep in the basket.

Draco stretched his arms above his head before heading over to one of the kitchen cupboards, he really needed a drink. The cupboards were mostly bare aside from some tea bags and instant coffee; it was exceedingly rare for either of them to ever actually eat there. Draco reached into the highest cupboard searching the back until he found what he was looking for. He pulled out the unopened bottle of firewhisky that he had hidden there when his last bottle had run out.

'Want a drink?' he turned to Granger waving the bottle in his hand.

'How did you get that?!' she exclaimed. He sniggered at her innocence; he enjoyed the cute way that her eyes widened in shock at such rebellious behaviour.

'I have my ways.' He smiled and found himself a glass. He raised an eyebrow at her, a silent question as he reached for a second one.

'Ah, no thanks.' She shook her head, 'I'm going to go hang out with Ron, you know, make up for dogging out on him today.'

'Be sure to apologise for my stealing you away.' He smiled at her. 'Oh and before you head off, put one of them on.' He gestured towards the bags on the couch.

She pulled a face and Draco sighed. 'I didn't buy them so that you could take them to your room and then never wear them.'

'I didn't ask you to buy them Malfoy.'

Draco groaned and rolled his eyes. 'We are not having this argument again Granger.' He glared at her. When it came to paying for all the lingerie earlier Draco had naturally footed the bill. She had protested to no end but to him it was just right. He had more money than she did and he was the one that had convinced her that she needed it in the first place. Frankly he was done hearing her complain about it. Most girls he knew would kill to be doted on by him.

He poured himself a drink whilst she gathered all her bags and headed to her room muttering angrily under her breath. He slunk down unto the now clear couch and sipped his drink trying to relax. He would never understand the female fascination with shopping. He'd been to only one store today and all he wanted to do was sleep.

Granger returned from her room not five minutes later dressed in the same clothes but Draco hoped that she had actually changed her knickers.

'I'll see you later.' she said kindly, gently brushing her hand across his shoulders as she passed.

She was out of the portrait hole before he could respond. He thought about the way that she had touched him before she had left. He would never have thought it was possible for Hermione Granger to even want to touch him like that let alone, him letting her. He shrugged his shoulders thinking it best not to over think things.

He closed his eyes, thinking of the strange feeling that accompanied her touch.

Draco felt a light touch to his cheek, arousing him from the sleep he hadn't realised he'd fallen in to. He opened his eyes to see Granger staring down at him.

'Hey sleepy head.' She smiled.

'Shut up.' He grumbled, wiping his eyes.

'You dropped your cup, it was quite a mess.' She looked at him with mock anger.

Draco sat up straight on the couch noticing the blush on her cheeks. 'How was Ron?' He asked, trying to make it sound like he actually gave a shit.

She looked at her hands, 'Alright. He was real mad at first. Seamus saw us at the Three Broomsticks.'

Draco thought back to earlier that day, running his thumb across her rosy lips, their faces inches apart. He now looked at her with concern in his eyes. He couldn't believe they'd been busted this early.

'Don't worry,' she said with a soft smile, 'I don't think he saw when…' she trailed off blushing. 'Ron just said that Seamus said he saw us having a drink together and that didn't seem very much like keeping an eye on kids.'

'What did you tell him?'

'I just said that we got a break and that you were really dull company anyway.' She laughed.

Draco looked at her with a clearly fake hurt expression. 'Me? Dull company? I bet he forgave you after that.'

'Yeah, he said that that made sense and that he was sorry for getting mad.' Her expression suddenly turned sad and distant. 'I hate lying to him.' She spoke quietly.

Draco moved closer to her and draped an arm over her shoulder. 'I don't mean to be horrible Granger, but you did pick this. If you can't live with it, we can stop, I won't hold it against you.' He said as kindly as he could.

'I don't want to.' She looked up at him, her beautiful eyes wide and glassy.

'Then you must deal with the consequences.'

'Are you actually being responsible?' She chuckled.

Draco smiled down at her. 'Nah, I just don't want you to come whining at me that it's all my fault when this blows up in your face.'

'When? You think this will blow up in my face.' Her eyes were searching his features as if trying to read the answer in his eyes.

'I think it has great potential to.'

'Are you trying to talk me out of this?' He couldn't quite tell if she was being serious or if she was mocking him.

'No, no definitely not.' Draco replied with a wicked grin. 'How'd the new knickers feel?' He asked with a wink. He felt perhaps it was a good time to change the subject.

She blushed and broke eye contact. 'Alright. The thong is kind of uncomfortable.' She grimaced.

'You'll get used to it.'

'Oh really? How often do you wear g-strings?' They both chuckled.

'Thank you for them Malfoy. I realised while I was out that I bitched and whined about you buying it all for me but then never even said thank you.' She lightly squeezed his hand and he smiled.

He let his eyes wander over her body and was suddenly extremely curious to see which set of underwear she had on. 'Let's crack on then.'

She looked at him confused. 'You know the drill Granger, off with the clothes.' She groaned and he gave her a smirk.

'Fine.' She got up and slowly lifted her shirt, displaying a black lace bra. It pushed her breasts up instead of flattening them like her sports bra did. Draco felt his mouth go dry and he was so preoccupied with her chest that he hadn't even noticed that she'd dropped her jeans.

When his eyes wandered down to her lace covered mound, it took all of his strength not to throw her down on the couch and take her right there, right then. The thong matched the bra and it seemed to Draco that her curves had been emphasised by the new underwear. He twirled his finger signalling for her to turn and then immediately wished he hadn't. He ass was so beautiful and firm that Draco damn near had to sit on his hands to stop himself from touching her. He shifted on the couch as he felt himself harden.

When she turned back around she was a deep shade of red. 'Don't be embarrassed Granger. You look really fucking hot.' He said unable to stop his eyes venturing down her body.

'Really?' She surprised him by giggling. He looked up at her to see her biting her lip. She was killing him.

'Do you want to know a secret?' She whispered. Draco raised an eyebrow, this should be interesting.

She looked at him and then looked away again, blushing profusely and hiding behind her hair.

'Come now Granger, you brought it up, now you have to tell me.' He said in a husky voice.

She shook her hair out of her face and looked at him once again. 'I kind of feel hot.' She swayed her hips slightly as if emphasizing her point.

For the first time that he could remember, Draco Malfoy blushed. Actually blushed. He never would have expected her to say such a thing and he really wished that she would stop moving her hips like that. 'Told you so,' was all he could manage.

'I never said I didn't believe you.' She said with a laugh. 'It's strange though, how a little bit of fabric can make a difference.'

'Like you wouldn't believe.' Draco mumbled whilst running his eyes from her chest to the thong clad area between her legs. He suddenly had an idea.

'Granger, do you masturbate?' She looked at him, her mouth hanging open in shock.

'MALFOY!' She exclaimed.

'Settle down,' he said calmly, 'I'm not here to judge, I just want to know what level of experience you have with you own body.'

She took a deep breath, 'A little, once, I tried it but, I dunno… it was kind of weird.' She avoided his eyes.

He looked at her intently. 'Have you ever had an orgasm Granger?'

If possible she blushed deeper and met his eyes, shaking her head slightly.

'Never? Not even once?' He had guessed as much but it was still hard for him to believe that an eighteen year old girl, had never even experienced an orgasm.

She shook her head again. 'Do you trust me?' he said softly. She met his eyes and he watched as they widened in realisation. She seemed to hesitate for a moment before answering, 'Yes.'

He stood up from the couch and closed the distance between them, moving faster than he ever had in his entire life.
