The moment Hermione came back from vacation she wrapped herself around Draco.

Literally.

The ring Draco had given her for Christmas burned the skin of her finger the entire time she was away and she knew Draco was doing it to mess with her. Not only that, but she felt as though the ring was an aphrodisiac, since she felt herself getting wet every time she felt the ring's magic working.

So, naturally, the moment she got back to Hogwarts she managed to get away from the best friends by using a lame excuse and sought out Draco.

He was in the tower, lying down on the couch, making origami figures fly around the ceiling of the tower with his wand. The moment he heard Hermione step inside, he made them vanish.

"Hey," he smirked at her and opened his arms. She gave him a gigantic smile and straddled him as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "Did you have a happy holiday?"

"I did, but I missed you terribly." She said, holding his face between her hands. He was still paler than usual and she noticed his eye bags got darker. He definitely lost some weight too and it made her worry that he was becoming a bag of bones and skin.

"You need to eat more." She frowned, her curly hair falling around both of their faces.

"Mmm, maybe your pussy, I sure have been craving that." He said, licking his dry lips. She gave his chest a playful smack and pulled him into a kiss.

Before long, she found herself underneath Draco and her hands were reaching to take off his pants.

"Someone sure missed me while they were gone." He whispered into her ear, pulling her into a deeper kiss. His tongue tickled her lips and she opened her lips up eagerly. Their tongues fought for dominance with each other and they occasionally bumped teeth. His pants and boxers made it on the floor along with her pants and underwear. Draco pulled Hermione up so he could take off her shirt, revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra.

"What happened here?" he questioned, taking a nipple between his thumb and finger.

"I didn't bother putting on something that was going to be taken off." She replied, nipping at his neck.

"You should have shown up naked then."

"Oh, but I don't want everyone who has seen me in the bare to die by your hand." He laughed at her statement and gave a truthful nod. She smirked as she took off his shirt and threw it down, before keeping her body still against him.

Draco traced the curves of Hermione's body, like he was touching her for the first time. She shivered as his hands ran along her side and down her hipbone. He stopped at the tuff of hair just below her waist and then brought it back up to her stomach. He gently worked his hand up to cup her breast and brushed his thumb against her nipple.

Hermione closed her eyes as she felt his fingers roam along her body. She shivered against his touch, feeling goose bumps traveling up her arms and legs.

"Are you cold?" he whispered into her ear, brushing his fingers along her collarbone.

"No, it just feels nice." She said, smiling at him. He smiled back at her, placing a kiss on her check. His hand traveled down south, feeling her warm wetness. He flicked his finger against her clit and she moaned in response.

Before she knew it, he digit was placed inside of her and she arched her back against him. As he curled his finger, she curled her toes. A release from Hermione soon came and she felt herself beginning to form a sweat, even though the air was cold around them.

"Mmm, I missed that." She said, wrapping her legs around Draco's waist.

"Did you even pleasure your self at all while you were gone?" He asked, lining himself up with her entrance.

"No, it's not the same without you. I much prefer this." She said against his lips as she lifted her hips up to bring his cock inside of her. He kissed her as he pushed inside even deeper. Both of them broke apart to let out a gasp of relief.

"You got tighter, that's for sure." He nipped her earlobe before beginning to thrust his hips against her own.

They found their own rhythm and as Draco grinded against her, she wanted more.

"Harder, Draco." She begged, scratching her fingers along his shoulders.

"Why don't you turn around." He gasped, as he pulled out of her. She quickly found herself on her chest and raising her bottom towards him. He thrust himself inside of her and began to hump her as fast as he could.

She moaned out his name and lifted herself up against him, just to have her arms taken by him. He pulled on her arms, allowing him to reach deeper inside of her. He pushed and pulled himself against her, forcing all of himself inside of her.

"Fuck, Draco!" she screamed out, unable to control her orgasm from escaping her. He slowed down a bit before releasing his own liquids inside of her womb.

Once he was done, he pulled out of her and spooned against her sweaty body.

"That was amazing." She breathed out. She turned around to face him and gave him a soft kiss. "Thank you."

"I really did miss that." He stroked her mess of a hair. Her brown curls were framed around her flushed face, making her even more beautiful than he could have imagined.

"Only that? Not me?" she pouted, pushing out her bottom lip. He bit her lip before giving her a kiss.

"I missed you even more."


Once school started, Draco found himself less and less absorbed with his studies and more absorbed with his task from The Dark Lord.

He didn't care much about anything, but surviving and keeping his mother safe.

Besides Hermione, of course.

Even though she knew the gist of what he had to do, she didn't ask if he was still going to go through with it. He knew she was scared to and if she did then it would ruin the perfect bubble of happiness that they both had.

But, school was important to Hermione and therefore she tried to make an effort in helping him with his studies, when all he really wanted to do was shag her or figure out how the bloody cabinet worked in the Room of Requirement.

"Hermione," Draco said, exasperated, "I don't care about transfiguring my hands into paws…I just want us to snog. Is that so much to ask?" She gave him a look, before turning back to her own textbook.

"We only have about 4 months left of school before exams and this year is important because it's sort of like preparing for our N.E. . Also, I know you're not showing up in any of the classes that we are in together."

"How would you know that?"

"I have my ways. What I need to know is that you'll stop ditching class."

Draco sighed and sat back in his chair. They were hidden in one of the corners of the library. Hermione enchanted the area around them so if someone went down the row of shelves they were at, they would suddenly get the urge to use the restroom.

"Hermione, you just don't understand." He shook his head and gave her a sad smile. She knew what he was referring to and decided to not push it. He was going through enough as it is.

"Well, at least I voiced my concern and I would like if you went to class for me. Especially since I have a present for you." She said, picking up her quill and focusing on her parchment. He scooted close to her until she felt his hand on hers.

"A present? I'm listening." He smirked.

"You won't be able to get it until Valentine's Day." She said, pulling her hand out of his and poking him on the nose. He scrunched up his face and she let out a laugh before looking back at her work.

"Ugh that's like a month away!" He complained, but she gave him a look.

"So, if I behave for the next month or so, I'll get to see this mysterious present?" he asked.

"Yes, so that means you have to finish all of your homework and show up to your classes." She scribbled down some notes. He stared at her for a bit, before shaking his head. He looked down at the massive stack of work he needed to do and took his own quill into his hand.

Hermione smiled to herself as she heard him scratching at his own parchment.


"Hermione, it was on the map, clear as day." Ron told her. He had apparently seen that Hermione was with Draco yesterday at the library on Harry's map. Even though Ron was clearly showing his concern, she was getting nothing but a headache.

"I was tutoring him. He's having trouble with school." She told him for what seemed like the tenth time.

"And you know, that's not the only time you've been all suspicious on the map. Sometimes you go missing!" He huffed. They both were in the common room. Harry was off somewhere doing who knows what and Lavender had said something about getting beauty sleep.

Hermione was worried about that, actually. She hoped that the Marauders weren't able to find the hidden tower and it seemed as though her theory was correct. She let out an internal sigh of relief before feeling agitated again.

"Ron, why does it matter?" Hermione asked. She decided that she wouldn't get any work done since all he was doing was interrogating her. It was getting late, anyways.

"It matters cause Draco Malfoy is up to something and You-Know-Who is back and extremely dangerous. He's getting far more powerful each day and we have to side with Harry, Hermione. He really needs us!" Ron was turning red and Hermione felt knots in her stomach. He was technically right, but she knew both sides of the story for once, so it was hard for her to pick a side.

"I know," she sighed "It's hard for Harry and you know I'm here for him! I'm always here for him and always have been. You should be a little more trusting."

Ron lowered his eyes, feeling guilty that he was scolding her for no real reason.

"I'm sorry, Hermione. You know it's just been really hard lately. With classes and especially with Lavender being such a- Where are you going?!" he yelled after her. Hermione rolled her eyes as she walked towards the girl dormitory.

"Goodnight Ronald."


Suddenly, it was the beginning of February and the students were getting restless as Valentine's Day was approaching. Draco was getting nervous, since he had no clue what he should do for Hermione. He wanted to make it special since their time together was limited.

Both of them knew that even if they were to keep going on with their relationship, they would have to end things by the end of the school year. Even though Hermione was a bright student, her grades were dropping from the constant contact with Draco and he could tell it was taking a toll on her.

He decided to do something cheesy. She loved cheesy. He was going to talk to the house elves and ask if they could make a special picnic and he figured they could watch the sunset from the view of the tower. Thankfully, Valentine's Day was on a Friday, so they were able to spend the night together without any worries. He'll probably get some candles and flowers for her, maybe a box of chocolates.

Draco found himself smiling at the thought of Hermione and what her reaction would be to what he had planned. It was cliché, but he didn't think she would mind.

He also looked forward to the "present" she got him. He hoped that present was something he could easily take off.

He found himself lost in his thoughts as he worked quietly in his classes and on the cabinet. Today was the day he decided to try and see if he was able to send a beetle through. He managed to send an apple, a spoon, and an old notebook through successfully. Now they were going to try and see if living things were able to work.

He was anxious at the fact that he was planning on bringing Death Eaters in to Hogwarts. It may have been a good idea at the beginning of the year, but that was before he fell for Hermione.

Oh Merlin, did he fall for her.


A/N: I'm so so so sorry that it has taken FOREVER to upload a new chapter! Things have been crazy lately and I have to be honest, I'm running out of inspiration for this story. I hope to finish it by the end of August, but no promises! Thank you for sticking around and sorry if it sucks!
