How it started.

Chapter 2: The Lake,

Everything had started the night of the Yule Ball, by the lake… that's when it all started.

Hermione sat legs crossed at the bank of the lake, looking thoughtlessly out at the foggy water as a few loose tears dribbled down her cheek.

She didn't hear footsteps as he made his way up to her, "Granger?" He asked as he curiously looked down at her, a bottle of fire whiskey in his hands.

Hermione hazerdly wiped at her tear stained cheeks, "Sod off Malfoy! I don't want to deal with you right now." She groaned and crossed her arms, never looking up at him once.

Draco eyed her for a moment with annoyance and a tinge of curiosity.

"What's got your knickers in a twist?" He asked before sitting down next to her.

"Does it matter?!" She snapped, "Just leave me alone would you!"

He ignored her and lay back on the grass, as he took another hit of fire whiskey.

Hermione snapped her head around and glared at him, "What do you want Ferret?!"

He slightly smirked at her annoyance but tried to hide it, he shrugged, "Parkinson was getting on my nerves, I needed a break so I went for a walk."

Hermione's mouth twisted in annoyance in not knowing how to reply so she just whipped her head back around and stared back out at the lake.

They seemed to have sat there, in silence, for a few minutes before Draco broke it, "So, why are you moping about, all alone, by the lake?" He said 'all alone' in a slightly louring voice.

Hermione huffed and laid down next to him, glaring up at the stars as if they were to blame, "Ronald bloody Weasly, that's why. He thinks he owns me! It's pathetic! And completely annoying! That stupid prat can't stand to see me with anyone but it seems that he's too much of a bloody pussy to ask me out! I'd say no of course but still he has no right to tell me who I can and can not date!" She vented before letting out a big sigh of annoyance, scrunching the sides of her dress in her fists while she did so.

She heard Draco slightly chuckle.

"Fuck you Malfoy!" She snapped.

"I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing at the fact that I'm not the only one who sees him as a stupid prat with no balls, finally someone gets it!" He said humorously.

She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms once again, mumbling to herself, "Why am I even talking to you about this?"

"Because I'm the one person who you really don't give a shit about what I think about you." He answered her before taking another sip of his fire whiskey.

Hermione sighed, "You make a good point."

They stayed like that, looking up at the star filled sky, for an hour or two before she heard Draco scoff.

"What?" She asked him curiously.

"I was just thinking of different ways that you could really piss Weasly off and then one very… unlikely idea popped into my mind." He replied with a smirk.

"What is it?"

Without another word Draco was hovering over her, the bottle of fire whiskey forgotten about as it rolled down the bank and into the lake, a smirk on his lips, his hand loosely running up her side, across her arms, unfolding them before he slowly bent down, whispering to her "This." With one last smirk his lips were hot against hers. The bittersweet taste of Fire Whiskey was the main thing that Hermione tasted as his tongue dove into her warm mouth, entangling itself with hers. Hermione was shocked at first but quickly melted into it; she wrapped her arms up around his neck, running her fingers through his hair.

Draco's hands locked on her waist as hers ran across his shoulders, pushing his top layer off his dress robes off. Just as she went to run her hands under his shirt he pulled back grinning. Hermione stared up at him in slight confusion while catching her breath. Draco swiftly stood up, picking up and slipping on his discarded clothing before extending a hand to her. She looked at him cautiously with confusion before hesitantly taking his hand, letting him help her to her feet. Hermione only just got her shit back together, straightening out, clearing her throat ready to say something before he pulled her close, giving her a short passionate kiss before pulling away and saying with a smirk, "See ya Granger, tell Weasly I said hi." With that Draco turned on his heal and strutted back up to the castle.
