Chapter 21
Draco had been avoiding Hermione for the past two days, he felt awful about what he said but there was nothing he could do "Ah, , just the person I was searching for" Dumbledore hummed walking towards him in the corridor "Yes professor" Draco replied "I have something to show you and Miss Granger, any idea's on where she could be?" Draco suggested that Hermione might be in the library and both he and Dumbledore headed there to look for her. When they reached the library he noticed Hermione sat at the back of the library, studying as always, he knew that she would not be pleased to him and he would have to be a total prick to her to keep her at arm's length, not that, that would be a problem. He couldn't help but think about how adorable she looked when she thought no one was looking.
"Miss. Granger, would you follow me please?" Professor Dumbledore asked with Draco at his side, Hermione sighed when her eyes fell upon him. They walked through the halls in silence before the professor came to an abrupt stop next to a portrait "Excuse me professor" Hermione interjected "What are we doing here?" she queried "You're picking the password to your new living arrangements, of course" Dumbledore stated "What would you like your password to be?" he asked "How about insufferable know it all?" Draco sneered, looking at Hermione "Maybe it should be conceited, rich, arrogant ferret, I do believe that's a more fitting password" Hermione spat staring at Draco. Dumbledore chuckled "Insufferable ferret it is then" when Dumbledore announced the password the portrait door slowly opened itself to them "These are your new quarters, when you reach the top of the stairs you will find two more paintings, now I presume that the pair of you can sort out which room is which, you will each have your own personal password to your rooms, and I trust that you'll try not to kill each other" Dumbledore laughed at his own statement before leaving and closing the door behind him.
Hermione was shocked and amazed by how big and beautiful their common room was and could only imagine how amazing her bedroom must be. Draco looked over at Hermione and noticed her in awe at the room they were standing in "What's the matter Granger? Never seen a place like this before? I thought it was only your little mates who didn't know the meaning of luxury"
"Believe it or not Malfoy, we're not all as filthy rich as you are" she sneered at him "And Ginny and Ron may not have money, but at least they have values and tact unlike you, you deceitful, lying, cheating, hateful piece of—"
"You're so hot when you're mad Granger" He cut her off while walking towards her. Hermione stumbled backwards, still not wanting to be around him, but her plans of escape failed when her brain refused to cooperate and she unintentionally cornered herself, handing the game over to Malfoy. He grabbed her wrists and pinned them above her head and secured her body against the wall by thrusting his hips onto hers, Hermione made no attempt to free herself; in all honesty, she liked not being in control for once, however, she was not going to let Draco have her again.
Hermione yanked one hand out of his grasp and placed it gently on Draco's face, two can play this game she thought to herself, before arching her back and craning her neck so her lips hovered over his. Draco leaned in a little closer so that their foreheads were touching; Hermione brushed her lips against his, never fully indulging him in what he wanted. He released her other hand so he could hold her waist, he slowly drew his hips off of hers and pried her off the wall his free hand playfully tracing lines along the side of her torso.
Hermione's breath caught in her throat, as much as she wanted this to happen she needs him to know that he is not in control. Hermione placed both her hands on Draco's face and smoothed his cheeks with her thumb, she drew him in closer and planted small heated kisses along the line of his cheekbone before coming to rest by his ear "I'm not that easy" she drawled out in a seductive whisper before pushing him back and out of her way. Hermione walked to her room, and presented her portrait with a password. Once alone in her room, Hermione let out a long sigh.
This was not going to be easy.
