Hey! I'm really sorry i haven't updated for over a year i just totally lacked inspiration and school has kept me so busy. This is a bit of a short one but i really liked where it ends and i hope you will too. If my writing style seems a little different it's because i have lost my beta and am now writing solo, kisses x
Christmas came in a blur of wrapping paper ribbons. I was woken up Christmas morning by Fred and George apperating into mine and Ginny's room with a loud crack.
'Ehhh' Ginny's groaned 'what time is it? Why are you here?'
'Come on sis, it's Christmas! The time doesn't...' Fred was cut off by a rather well aimed pillow to the face.
'What time is it?!' Ginny growled it was at times like this that her red hair really shone through to her personality.
'It's 6 o'clock ok? Just chill out' George answered her cautiously but he obviously realised their mistake.
'Just go back to fucking bed and you can get us up in an hour.' She flopped back onto her bed with great gusto and a sigh like the drama queen that she is.
'Fine' the twins sighed in unison and proceeded to disappearate from the room.
Throughout this conversation Hermione had been dragging herself out of bed and was now attempting to tame her wild hair in the mirror. The smell of bacon wafted towards her and she realised that Mrs Weasley must already be awake and cooking, she really was committed to her role as a mother that woman.
'I'm going downstairs to see if your mum needs any help' she informed Ginny, only realising when she got no reply that she was already sound asleep in her bed.
On her way downstairs she passed Draco in the hallway;
'What are you doing here Malfoy?' She questioned, sure that she really didn't want to know the answer.
'I'm staying here for the Christmas holidays, it's the only place I'm safe from my father and his sadistic friends. Not that it's any of your business.' He rolled his eyes with a murmur of 'mudblood.'
'Excuse me what was that?' I was shocked he would dare say something like that in a house full of allies of the good side who are fully against any kind of bloodist remarks and would probably have handed him to You-Know-Who on a plate if they had heard what he just said.
'Oh... Nothing... I would dare insult the golden girl.'
He then had the audacity to smirk the famous Malfoy smirk at me. SMIRK I tell you! Quick as a flash my wand was out of my pocket and pointed at his throat, his smirk never wavered.
'What are you going to do Granger? Poke it through my neck? You may be smart but obviously not enough to remember that we can't use magic outside of school.'
Although I knew he was right I was still tempted, I withdrew my wand and slapped him around the face instead. It's safe to say I wiped that impudent smirk of his pretty face.
'Wait… Pretty? Get a grip Hermione! Just because he's good looking doesn't make him any less of a dick'
I knew Malfoy would drive me round the bend one of these days, I just didn't think it would happen so soon. Before I could contemplate the revelations that had just taken place in my mind he decided to open his big gob again.
'Well I do like my women feisty Granger.'
I'd just slapped him! The cheeky git!
'What? You arrogant little ferret! You think you can just...'
I was interrupted by his lips crashing against mine. What was happening? Draco was kissing me? It was the best kiss I'd ever experienced, so much better than anything I'd ever had with Ron or Krum. It felt like fireworks were exploding behind my eyelids and my toes were tingling, his lips were soft but firm; commanding mine gently. I'd harboured secret affections for him for a while now -it's always the bad boys who are aloof that reel girls like me in- but it had just turned into full blown attraction. I couldn't help it, he was an amazing kisser. When he pulled away we were both breathing heavily, his eyes were clouded over with lust. He stroked a beautiful pale hand across my cheekbone, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. Without a word he turned around and casually strolled back towards his room leaving me standing in the middle of the hallway at a loss for even coherent thought and my mind reeling from what had just happened.
Half way down the corridor he turned around.
'Well I've finally found a way to shut up 'pick me' Granger, maybe I should try it more often' He then winked and disappeared into what I assumed was his room on the left hand side of the corridor.
What the hell was he on about try it more often? I wasn't sure what I felt for him anymore, do I like him or hate him? Was the kiss really just a way to shut me up or was he genuinely attracted to me? These were questions he would have to give me the answers to and you know what they say, soon rather than later.
My mind flashed back to what Harry had said yesterday. Could I forgive him for everything he had done to my friends and I in the past right now? I wasn't so sure I could.
