Draco Malfoy had plenty of friends. Witches, Wizards, and even the random Muggle here and there from the time he took after the war to travel and find himself.
Growing up he always tried to be a good friend to his true friends. He even punched a number of male students in Hogwarts in defense of his female friends. He was always protective of the ones he loved. Always.
Now however the protective possessive feeling he's been feeling for his latest friend seem to be bordering on obsessive. Hermione Granger was a wonderful friend. The two of them fell into an easy friendship around a year ago after Pansy started dating the female Weasley.
Their friend groups merged easily and it had been a bit surprising amount of easy connections made. Blaise and Ron could talk about quidditch for hours and did so often. Harry and Theo seemed to have found a flirty friendship that everyone was just waiting to turn into a full fledged relationship once one of the wizards finally caved and made a move.
Then there was Hermione and Draco.
Draco had made it a point to pull all of them aside privately in the beginning to apologize personally. The boys of course had brushed it off quickly and shook his hand wanting nothing more than to move forward and bury the past. Ginny had even punched him in the arm and assured him it was fine now that all that nonsense was over and done with.
Hermione of course had to be different. She had asked if he wanted tea while they talked and before he knew it they were 3 hours into a deep conversation about how all of them had just been children trying to survive. Hermione wasn't the first person to tell him he had no choice in the role he had to play back then but she may have just been the first person he believed.
Their friendship had grown quickly following their conversation and now the two of them spent most weekends together even if the rest of their friends were unavailable. Draco loved every single moment he spent with his friends. Although his childhood friends will always have an extra special place in his heart, the whole lot of them brought joy to his life in a way he never expected.
"Drake!" Pansy yelled, pulling Draco's thoughts back to the present where he was currently having coffee with Pansy and Ginny.
"Sorry sorry. My mind was wondering." Draco offered quickly as an excuse. The two witches shared a look and Draco's eyes pinged between two of them quickly. "What? What's that look for?"
"Look Ferret if anyone asks I definitely never said any of this but you know you're a catch right?"
Draco looked at her with a pinched face.
"I'm not following."
Ginny groaned and looked up at the ceiling before looking back at the now fully confused wizard. Pansy snickered but seemed to enjoy letting her girlfriend take the lead in this conversation.
"I just mean that if there is maybe someone you've been…thinking of in a certain way maybe you should-" she glances quickly at Pansy before looking back at him. "-go for it."
Draco looks away as he feels heat creeping up his neck. He pulls at his collar before looking down at the coffee in his hand.
"I don't know what you mean." He replies lamely before taking a sip of his coffee.
Pansy scoffs before sitting forward to look him in the eye, seriously.
"Draco you practically watch her with fire in your eyes. If you're actually trying to hide this you're doing a shit job at it."
"Pans!" Ginny whisper shouted.
"Come off it Gin. You know I'm right. We all see it!" Pansy argued.
Draco paled at her words.
"You all talk about this!?" His voice wavered.
"Well not all of us of course. Hermione is absolutely oblivious." Ginny scoffed. "Brightest Witch my arse."
"So then everyone else?"
"We've all got bets going on who's going to cave and make the first move." Pansy snickered.
"Oh for fucks sake."
Draco's mind raced.
Everyone can see it? They see how he looks at her? How he watches her?
"I thought I was sure to win last weekend at that pub when that horrid man tried to get Hermione to go home with him. I thought for sure you were going to hex him." Ginny pouted at her loss.
"Granger shut him down fast enough for Draco to keep it under control. If he had reached out to pull her towards him again though it would have been over." Pany assured.
"I hate you both." Draco told them. "Actally I hate the whole lot of you. How have you all been talking about this and I've had no idea?"
"Maybe because when we're all together you only pay attention to the rest of us just enough to just barely conversate. Your eyes never leave Hermione long. Usually just long enough for her to get a peak at you while you're not looking."
Ginny's words peak his interest and he feels his eyes widen. Pansy laughs.
"I told you he had no bloody idea she fancies him."
"Pansy! We agreed not to say anything!" Ginny scolded.
"You agreed Darling I said no such thing."
Draco's eyes glazed over while memories tumbled through his head. All their nights out just the two of them. All the times they ended up comfortably tucked into Hermione's couch during a night in to watch movies. Draco loved movies nowadays and Hermione was determined to make him watch all of her favorites.
"Fuck." He groaned as he buried his face in his hands.
"There it is." Pansy commented. "The moment of realization."
"So Ferret, what are we going to do about this now?" Ginny asked with a smirk on her face.
Draco looked up at the two of them.
"I have no idea." He sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "We're meant to have a movie night tonight. I had a room in my townhouse warded so I could get a big tv installed and everything." He told them sheepishly.
"I think he'll crack before the end of the night." Pansy said. "No way he can see her and know everything and not kiss her."
"I'll take that bet. I talked to Hermione a few days ago and she's going mental. I'll bet they don't even make it through the first movie."
"You two drive me mental."
Draco spends the rest of the day in mild panic. He tries and tries but no matter what he does his mind won't stop playing every interaction he's had with Hermione over the last year.
He even goes to the muggle supermarket to grab a few things and ends up buying every snack he's ever seen her eat.
Now it was almost time for her to show up and his palms were sweating. Pansy had unhelpfully owled him earlier with a charmed parchment of a cartoon of him and Hermione finally kissing.
He totally didn't save it in the locked section of his desk drawer in his office or anything. Definitely not.
"Draacoooo." Hermione sung from his entry way as she stepped through his front door without even knocking. "I brought chinese take away!"
Draco felt himself smile before he hopped up and went to his kitchen where he knew she would be. He walked in just as she was placing a couple plates on the counter next to all the food she brought.
She looked lovely. Her hair was down and wild, just the way he loved it and she was wearing her favorite pair of jeans with the jumper she had stolen from him last week.
He loved it when she wore his clothes. He always felt a flutter of pride when she wore them home too instead of giving them back. He had told himself he would buy a million wardrobes if it meant he got to keep watching her wear all the stuff she nicks from him.
"You look lovely." He blurted without thinking. Hermione's eyes shot to him before a small smile slipped on to her face.
"You're ridiculous, I'm just wearing jeans." Hermione scoffed. Draco moved towards her, his feet moving faster than his brain.
"And my jumper." He added as he finally stepped in front of him. Hermione looked down at the hoodie before she grinned and looked back up at him and shrugged.
"It's comfortable and-" She stopped as her face flushed lightly.
"And?"
"And it smells like you."
Draco groaned lightly before he closed his eyes and placed his forehead against hers.
"You're killing me, Granger." He whispered.
"Back to Granger am I?" Hermione huffed before pulling back to look up at him. "What have I possibly done to deserve that?"
Draco opened his eyes and looked down at her with a smile slipping onto his features.
"You've made it impossible for me not to want you." He informed her. Hermione gasped as her eyes widened.
"Y-you what?" She muttered.
Draco let out a quick chuckle before he grabbed her face and crashed his lips to hers. Hermione's hands instantly found their way to the front of his shirt. She gripped it firmly in her hands as she pulled him forward. He groaned into the kiss as his hands slid into her hair. He pulled gently to tilt her head back so he could completely devour her.
Their kiss heated quickly and Hermione melted into him as he nibbled her lower lip. He kissed her like a man starved. It was the most intense kiss she had ever had.
She let out a soft whimper when he pulled away.
"Fuck you're perfect." He breathed heavily as he looked down at her, his hands still tangled in her hair. He gave her another quick kiss before he pulled away completely.
Hermione pressed a hand to her lips lightly with a smile on her face. She giggled before looking up at him again.
"That was-"
"Oi Draco!" Theo's voice echoed through the house as the floo sounded. "Where do you get those-" His question stopped as he stepped into the kitchen. "Oh hello beautiful." Theo smirked as his eyes caught a still flushed Hermione standing still in close proximity to Draco.
"Hello Theo." Hermione said sheepishly as she tucked her hair behind her ears.
"Theo what the hell are you doing here?" Draco asked not doing anything to hide the frustration in his voice. Theo's eyes sparkled as his eyes darted between the two of them.
"Oh fuck is it finally happening!?" He asked excitedly. Draco groaned and palmed his face as Hermione let out a giggle.
"Theo." Hermione said, pulling both their attention to her.
"Yes dear Golden Girl?" Theo said, his voice dripping with amusement.
"I'm hopefully about to be shagged on this counter so if you could please come back in the morning with your questions it would be truly appreciated." Draco's jaw dropped at her words but Theo just squealed like a little girl as he shuffled back through the door he came from.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" He called out before the floo sounded again.
Hermione turned back to Draco who seemed to still be rooted in place. She chuckled as she waved her wand over the food to put it under a stasis charm.
"I didn't mean to be presumptuous, I just figured he would definitely leave if I said that."
"Does that mean I can't have you on this counter?" Draco teased, finally pulling himself from the shock.
"You can have me wherever you want."
Her words set him off and before Hermione knew what happened she was sat on his counter in her knickers and his jumper. She moved to take it off only to be stopped.
"Later. I want to do this with you wearing my clothes first." Draco smirked.
"Do what?" Hermione asked before she nibbled her lower lip.
Draco ignored her question and instead sealed their lips together again. His kiss was hard and possessive this time and Hermione couldn't resist melting in his arms. He pulled her to the very edge of the counter as he kissed her.
Hermione whimpered gently as he kissed her. She felt like her heart might give out. His kiss was all consuming and exactly like she always imagined.
"I'm fucking obsessed with you witch." Draco panted as he broke their kiss to trail kisses down her neck. "I hope you know I'll not be letting you out of my grasp now."
"Good." Hermione said breathless before letting out a moan as Draco sunk his teeth into her. "I love when you touch me."
"Fuck." Draco muttered before capturing her lips again. He kissed her swiftly as he pushed her to lean back. She let out a sound of protest when their kiss broke. He kept guiding her back until she was on her back.
"Draco, what are you-"
"I need to taste you."
Hermione had imagined having Draco between her legs countless times but nothing compared to the actual reality of it. Draco ate her cunt like it was the greatest thing he'd ever tasted. Nothing could ever compare to it. He groaned into her and the vibration sent her barreling into the strongest orgasm she's ever had.
"Oh fuck!" She moaned as she shattered on his tongue. Draco huffed an accomplished laugh as he pulled back to look down at her laid out on his counter.
Her face was flushed and Draco decided he immediately needed to see how far down it went. He snapped his fingers and the rest of her clothes vanished.
Hermione gasped at his show of silent wandless magic.
"I love that I can still impress you." Draco chuckled as he ran his hands along her body. He cupped her breasts gently before pinching her nipples. Hermione squirmed and groaned as she shifted to grind against the bulge in his pants.
"Draco." She whimpered when he moved away from her.
"As lovely as it sounded when you told Theo I was about to shag you on this counter I need to have you in my bed."
Draco picked her up and threw her over his shoulder before turning to head up his stairs. Hermione let out a squeak at first but settled quickly as he moved quickly through the house.
When he finally reached his room Draco paused to pin her to the door. He kissed her til she was breathless before hauling her over to his bed and tossing her gently. She watched with wide eyes as he quickly rid himself of his clothes. Her eyes trailed over all the new skin that was being uncovered for her.
"How are you so fucking fit?" Hermione questioned breathlessly as she looked up at him.
"I've had a lot of frustration to work out this past year. I go to the gym twice a day."
Hermione giggled as he climbed up to hover over her. He stared down at her, his pupils going wide.
"How about we work some of that frustration out then huh?" Hermione teased as she took a hold of his cock and put it at her center.
"You're sure about this then?" He asked through gritted teeth, trying to contain himself.
"Please fuck me." Hermione begged. "I need to feel you Draco."
"Fuck." Draco swore as he sunk into her. "You're fucking everything."
"Oh gods Draco."
Later when the two of them finally stumbled out of Draco's bedroom to eat Draco picked Hermione up and placed her on the counter before handing her one of the take out boxes that held her favorite chowmein. She was dressed only in his shirt he had been wearing earlier and Draco had to readjust himself in his briefs as he watched her.
"You're insatiable." Hermione chuckled as she caught him adjusting himself.
"And you're mine." Draco said simply before he shoved an entire eggroll in his mouth.
"Is that so?" Hermione teased. "I don't remember you asking me to be yours."
"Is that what you want?" Draco said as he stepped between her legs. "For me to ask you properly?" Hermione blushed and looked away for a moment before Draco caught her chin between his finger and thumb to bring her eyes back to him. "Hermione." He said softly.
"Draco." She breathed.
"Would you please put me out of my misery and agree to be mine?"
"I think I've been yours for a while now already." She told him as she placed her food next to her on the counter and moved to wrap her arms around his shoulders.
"I've been yours too."
"Everyone is going to be so insufferable about this." Hermione laughed before kissing him quickly.
"I'm sure they're all planning the wedding already since Theo can't keep a secret to save his life." Draco joked. Hermione pulled back and grinned up at him brightly.
"Wedding huh?" She asked. Draco's eyes flashed in panic before he stammered.
"Oh I mean- well I just."
"Hermione Malfoy." Hermione said casually. "Who would have ever thought?"
Draco slammed his lips to her before she could keep talking. He kissed her til all her air ran out and she had to pull away to breathe.
"Say it again." He said breathlessly.
"Hermione Malfoy." She said with a giggle falling from her lips.
"You need to eat quickly, witch." Draco growled. "I need you in my bed again."
The following morning Draco and Hermione woke up to a flurry of sounds coming from outside the door. Hermione snickered as Draco sighed dramatically.
"I told you they would show up here." Hermione boasted.
"I was hoping they'd at least wait til the afternoon." Draco groaned. "I don't want to share you."
"It's only temporary. I'm sure they'll leave quickly." Hermione assured him as she pulled on his jumper before slipping on a pair of his joggers and tying the strings tightly so they wouldn't slip off. Draco watches her closely. "They'll leave especially quickly if they see you looking at me like that too."
Draco chuckled as he got out of bed and found another pair of joggers to slip on.
"I can't help it. I love when you wear my clothes. I imagine I'll get them back when we merge our closets though so it's fine."
"Talking of marriage and moving in together. You really know how to woo a witch, Draco Darling." Hermione teased.
When the two of them came down the stairs they could hear their friends' laughter coming from the sitting room. Hermione laced their fingers before pulling him along.
The moment they stepped into the room the whole group cheered. Hermione laughed and Draco watched her with a smile as she was pulled into Pansy and Ginny's arms. He barely even registered someone next to him before Theo shoved his shoulder.
"She's yours now Drake you can look away for a moment." Theo teased. Draco just shrugged and kept his eyes on Hermione.
"Why would I ever look anywhere else?"
"Merlin you two are going to be insufferable." Ron groaned as he plopped down on the couch.
"You leave them alone!" Ginny scolded. "They're in love."
"Love? They've only just started shagging." Ron argued.
"The eyes don't like Ron." Theo said smugly. "They've been in love for months."
"I'm thinking a winter wedding." Pansy said loudly to drown out the two of them. "Hermione hates to be sweaty and we all know her nerves will be shot."
"I told you!" Draco shouted before he made his way back over to his witch.
"Yeah yeah whatever you practically asked me to live with you this morning."
"WHAT!?" The girls both shouted.
"Now you've done it." Draco smirked before he pulled Hermione into a swift kiss.
"Okay you're in love we get it." Harry complained. The rest of the group all chuckled.
