I own nothing HOA!

Sorry it's short, I want to make the chapters longer, but I just don't have the time. I figure smaller updates are better than nothing at all, right?

Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

As soon as my last class of the day let out I made a beeline for Gryffindor house. I needed to talk to Ginny a.s.a.p. My mind was racing with images of what could possibly happen if I went to Draco's dorm tonight and I loved every single one of them. The problem was, I was trying to tease Draco and if I went to his dorm tonight I would be giving in. I didn't want to give in, but I really wanted Draco. I wanted him so bad that he was the only thing on my mind and I couldn't think straight. That's why I needed to talk to Ginny; I needed her to talk me out of this.

I climbed through the portrait hole and immediately found Ginny in the common room. She was sitting on the couch flirting with Dean, it was just like Ginny to flirt with Dean while she had whatever she had with Blaise. I rolled my eyes and went over and pulled her away. "We need to talk," I say as she looks up at me with startled eyes.

"See you later Dean," Ginny waves over her shoulder as she stands from the couch and follows me up to my dorm. "What's up Hermione?" Ginny asks when we are finally alone.

"Draco wants me to meet him in his dorm tonight," I answer as I rub a hand over the back of my neck.

"And that's a problem?" Ginny asks in confusion as she looks up at me from her spot on my bed. In all honesty it's not a problem if I do what I my body is telling me to do, but if I listen to my brain or heart it's a major problem.

"I'm supposed to be teasing him, but if I go to his dorm tonight I'll be giving in," I explain.

"I wouldn't consider it giving in, you were the one who teased him enough to make him want you to stop by tonight, right?" Ginny looks up at me with a mischievous glint in her green eyes.

"Right," I nod, thinking of the hand job I was on the verge of giving him in class. He'd wanted it as much as I had, and I still wanted it so why not go for it?

"Then go for it," Ginny smiles with a flip of her fiery hair. "Just make sure you keep playing by your rules. As long as you have the upper hand he can't hurt you."

"You make that sound so easy," I let out a nervous laugh. That's what I'm afraid of, letting Draco close enough so that he can hurt me. I need to keep my distance emotionally, but that doesn't mean I need to keep my distance physically, does it? My brain is shouting YES!, but I ignore it.

"How do you think I got Blaise?" Ginny sends me a sly smirk. Ginny is good at all of this, all of the games, she knows exactly what to do or say to hook the guy. I need a little bit more of that, but since I don't have it I'll just take Ginny's advice.

"Touché," I smile at Ginny as I shake my head. "I guess I'll be visiting Slytherin tonight. You'll cover for me, right?" I ask, knowing already that Ginny will. I cover for her and she covers for me. Now usually when she covers for me I'm just out late studying, not hooking up with the Sytherin sex god himself, but I don't really see why that would matter.

"Of course," Ginny says with a big smile. "But you owe me details in the morning," Ginny's eyes are big with excitement and anticipation.

"Okay," I nod, not really planning on giving her all of the details. Some things were better kept secret.

"You're a lucky girl Hermione," Ginny sends me a big smile as she stands from my bed and heads to the door. "Almost any girl in this castle would kill for a night with Malfoy," she's right, they would. I was going to make the most of this opportunity while I could. I would worry about any possible emotions later.

By the time dinner rolled around, I couldn't focus on anything but what was to come tonight. I'd tried to work on getting ahead on homework, but that had proved useless. I couldn't get Draco's smoldering grey eyes or his soft lips out of my mind. I wouldn't let my mind wander any farther than that because the thought of Draco's touch and his very hot body were too much. I would never make it to tonight if I let those thoughts into my mind.

I was currently sitting at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall as I picked at the food in front of me. I had absolutely no clue what Harry and Ron were talking about next to me and I honestly didn't care. I was too caught up in my daydreams.

I wasn't allowing myself to look up at the Slytherin table because I knew if I did, I wouldn't be able to look away. I felt Draco's eyes on me, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of looking. That is until Ginny nudged me with her shoulder and whispered, "Draco wants you."

I let my eyes flick over to the Slytherin table and meet Draco's grey ones. I cock my head slightly to the side in a silent, "What do you want?"

Draco subtly nods his head to the door before standing from his spot at the Slytherin table and walking towards the exit. I know he wants me to follow and I have every intention of doing so. I need to know what he wants. I wait until Draco's been gone for a few minutes before saying, "I'll be right back," to Ginny and stand.

I walk out of the Great Hall, aware of Harry and Ron's eyes following me, but I don't look back. I am standing in the foyer trying to figure out where I should start looking for Draco when a hand reaches out and pulls me into an alcove behind a statue. I look up to find myself standing only inches away from Draco. "Hey," I smile up at him. "What's up?"

"Are you still coming tonight?" Draco asks as he reaches up and pushes a lock of hair behind my ear.

"Yeah," I nod, unable to stop myself from looking at his lush pink lips. I unconsciously pull my bottom lip between my teeth as I imagine Draco's lips on mine.

Draco reaches up and gently pulls my bottom lip out from between my teeth. His grey eyes are dark as he leans in and gives me exactly what I wanted. His lips press against mine and my hands immediately wrap around his neck. We kiss for a moment before Draco pulls away, leaving me wanting more.

"Great," Draco murmurs, he breath hitting my face. "The password's Salazar," Draco whispers before planting one more kiss on my lips and disappearing back out into the hallway.

I take a moment to collect myself before heading back into the Great Hall. So much for keeping the upper hand. I am a mess just from one kiss from Draco, I am completely in over my head, but there is no turning back now. I am going to Draco's dorm tonight, even though my brain is telling me I shouldn't. My body is going to win out because all I want right now it Draco, right now to hell with my brain.

Thanks for reading! I'd love to know what you think!
