I own nothing Harry Potter!
Here's the next update. I'm not sure about this chapter, but I just let it take me where it took me.
Enjoy!
Hermione POV
I couldn't stop pacing back and forth in my dorm room as I tried to figure out what the hell I should do. Did Draco mean what I thought he meant? Or was he just trying to get me into bed again? It shouldn't matter because I didn't like him, at least that's what I kept telling myself. I wasn't buying it though, I had fallen for him and I was in serious trouble.
"What the hell am I going to do?" I moan to myself as I continue to pace and run my hands through my hair in frustration.
"You're going to visit him tonight obviously," Ginny answers my rhetorical question from her stop on my bed. "Now stop pacing Mione."
I pause in front of the bed and groan. I can't get the feeling of Draco's lips on mine out of my head and it's driving me crazy. "Why am I going to obviously visit him?" I ask Ginny, wanting to see why she thought the answer was so obvious.
"Because you want him," Ginny rolls her eyes in exasperation. "The quicker you admit that to yourself the quicker you'll be happy," she says as she studies her nails, not even looking at me. She has been acting like I'm crazy since I came back from the library and told her about my Draco encounter. Maybe she was right, maybe I was crazy.
"I do not," I weakly protest, we both know I am lying. I want Draco more than anything, but I don't want to put myself out there for him to hurt me.
"Whatever Mione," Ginny rolls her eyes again. "Just go visit him tonight and figure out what he meant," she says.
"Fine," I give in. The only way to find out what Draco meant is to go visit him tonight, but won't that give him the wrong idea that I might actually like him. Would it be so bad if he had that idea? After all it's true, I do like him even if I can't admit it yet.
"Good girl," Ginny smiles at me as she stands from my bed. "Now get ready, you only have a few minutes before you have to leave.
The next few minutes pass in a nervous state as I start to pace my room again and try to talk myself out of going to see Draco, it doesn't work.
At eleven I find myself entering the Slytherin common room and trying to figure out how I was going to get passed whoever was in the common room and to Draco's dorm. I was surprised when the only two people I found in the common room were Blaise and the white blonde sex god I was here to see.
As I walk into the room, they both look up at me, Draco's grey eyes meeting mine and lighting up as he sees me. "You decided to come," he smiles at me. Yes, smiles, not smirks.
I just nod. "Let's get to it," I say as I gesture towards the steps. I am here for only one reason and that is to find out what Draco meant by this was more than meaningless sex, at least that's what I keep telling myself. We all know I'm here for so much more than that though.
"Lead the way," Draco gestures towards the steps as he stands from the couch. "Night mate," he says over his shoulder to Blaise as I make my way to the steps.
Once we are in Draco's room with the door closed behind us, I allow myself to look up at Draco who walks passed me and takes a seat on the bed. I stay standing by the door, waiting.
There is a silence as Draco stares up at me, waiting for me to take a seat, but I don't. Instead I break the silence and cut to the chase, "What did you mean earlier?" I ask, nervous for the answer.
"Why don't you come sit down and we can talk?" Draco motions to the spot next to him on the bed.
"I'm good," I decline the offer. I know if I sit next to him I'll end up giving in and snogging him instead of figuring out what he actually meant.
"Fine," Draco says as he stands and makes his way over to me, this isn't much better. "What do you want to know first?" Draco asks as he comes to a stop about a foot from me.
I ignore his proximity and answer, "What did you mean by this was more than meaningless sex?" I ask, refusing to make eye contact.
"Exactly what it sound like," Draco answers, his eyes on my face.
"You seriously are trying to tell me this isn't just sex to you?" I scoff. I don't believe it, well I don't want to believe it.
"That's exactly what I am trying to tell you Hermione," Draco answers, the use of my name causing my heart to skip a beat.
I roll my eyes, not wanting to believe him. If he likes me, then I am going to be in even deeper than I thought I would be. "Then what is it?" I ask, trying to keep my nerves in tack.
"What do you want it to be Hermione?" Draco asks, using his hand to lift my chin so I am staring straight into his grey eyes. "You seem to already have written me off."
I don't answer, I just stare at him trying to figure out how to respond. "You actually mean something to me Hermione, not matter how hard that is for you to believe," Draco says, his voice quiet.
Wait a second, did Draco just say I meant something to him? That couldn't be right. "You seriously expect me to believe I mean something more than an easy lay to you?" I scoff. "That doesn't sound like the Draco we all know so well," I roll my eyes.
"That's exactly my point Hermione," Draco's voice raises slightly. "You don't know me at all. You just see what you want. You think I'm some dick who doesn't have a care in the world. I might have used to be that way, but I'm not anymore," he argues.
"You're right, I don't know you at all," I agree. "That doesn't mean I believe you though," I say, the problem is I do believe him. I know he's telling the truth.
Draco reaches out and grabs my hands in his as he says, "I like you Hermione, whether you want to believe it or not is up to you."
"You do not like me," I scoff again, even though my heart is racing at the prospect of Draco actually liking me.
"Yes. I. Do," Draco says, taking a step closer with each word until there is no space between us or not. Before I can say anything else, his lips are on mine and he is pulling me even closer. I want to push him away and protest that he doesn't like me, but the kiss tells me everything I need to know. This kiss isn't heated and hurried like usual, no it is soft and slow and tells me he is telling the truth. Draco likes me. I like Draco, but I can't admit that. What the hell do I do now?
Draco pulls away slowly when he knows I've gotten his point. "You don't have to believe me, just give me a chance to prove it," he pleads with me, his eyes sincere.
"Why?" I manage to get out as I look up into his eyes.
"Why what?" he asks as he brushes hair behind my ear.
"Why do you like me?" I ask, I just don't get it. Why does someone like Draco Malfoy like someone like me, Hermione Granger? We are complete opposites.
"You're amazing and beautiful and smart and talented and perfect," Draco murmurs as his lips brush against mine, causing me to melt even farther into him. "What's there not to like?" Draco asks.
I study his face as I take in everything he's just told me. "Fine, I believe you," I answer.
"Good, so you'll give me a chance?" Draco asks hopefully, in a very un-Draco like way.
"How?" I ask, suddenly prepared to do whatever it takes to allow Draco to prove to me that he likes me. Maybe if he likes me enough, it won't be a huge problem that I have completely fallen for him. Maybe I'm not completely hopeless, maybe we can be idiots who fell for each other together.
"Let me take you out," Draco answers, his fingers gently tracing patterns on my hip.
"Fine," I agree. I can't deny that I want to go out with Draco. It's clear that this is more than just sex for both of us, so it only makes sense to see where it will go even if it's against my better judgment.
"Great," Draco smiles down at me and he's about to speak again but I cut him off. I don't want to talk anymore or process what's happening, so I do something very out of character. I smash my lips against Draco's and kiss him senseless. We kiss until we both forget about the previous conversation and fall into each other's bodies like the two nights we'd already shared together. Maybe there is a chance that there is more going on between us than just sex, but right now I don't want to think about emotions. They just mess everything us.
I already know I'm in to deep, I have fallen for Draco and it appears he has possibly fallen for me as well. I'm not sure where we go from here, but we'll figure that out later. Right now, I just want Draco's body and I'm not ashamed to let him know that as I let him take me to another world. We'll figure out what the hell is going on between us later, but right now I don't want to think about it.
Thanks for reading and I'd love to know what you think!
