Saturday, February 9th
I woke up because I was sweating, being enveloped in a warm body as well as thick blankets made it like a sauna. I wriggled, trying to get the covers low enough for me to kick them away. With some skillful maneuvering of my free arm I finally felt the coolness of the room rush around me. It felt amazing at first, but as soon as the sweat cooled I began to shiver. Behind me, Draco curled into me more trying to find warmth, and I conceded to pulling the sheet over us again.
Looking up at the clock on my nightstand, I realized I still had a few hours of sleep available. I considered waking up my bed partner for an early morning romp before going back to sleep but quickly convinced myself otherwise. I didn't really feel like walking around all day horny, but it seemed like my bed partner was going to make the decision for me as I felt his arm move up to cup and massage my breast.
"Good morning, Beautiful," he said, his voice gruff from sleep.
"Good morning," I replied as he kissed my shoulder. I rolled over in his arms to face him and he kissed my lips.
"What would you like to do today?" he asked and kissed my nose.
It was a Hogsmeade weekend so I really wouldn't mind walking through the town with him, but that was out of the question, we did everything possible to not bring attention to our relationship. We fought in the halls, pretended to like other people, complained about each other constantly. Then again, it would be just as fun to stay in our rooms. We could go a step further, I still had yet to see him naked, the farthest being him in boxers and me in underwear, which incidentally was our current attire. I decided that since we were already in bed, it wouldn't hurt to stay there, at least for awhile.
Scooting closer to him, I tipped my chin up to reach his lips and kissed him. He responded, pushing me back onto the bed.
"That was my idea exactly."
"Good to know we're on the same page," I teased, wondering if it was ok if I just demanded he remove his boxers.
He kissed me again before pulling away, "Does this mean I get to see you naked?"
I laughed, not knowing if I should be grateful or embarrassed he'd read my mind. I decided to try for grateful, seeing as embarrassment would cause me to get shy, "Only if you're naked too." I could feel an adrenaline rush coming on as I got excited and nervous. I'd never seen a penis before…well not in real life; I'd seen them in books of course. I'm not sure why, but the library had a small section on sex for both girls and boys. When I first started dating Draco, I decided that it would probably be a good idea if I learned more about sex. I had had health class while I still attended muggle school so I knew a little, but since you are so young they stick to mainly developmental changes and leave the "mature" stuff for later. So, I made the trip and after checking out the book, I raced to lock myself in my room to read it. Reading about male genitalia affected me little, to me it was like learning about any other subject, it wasn't until I started reading about my own body that I started blushing and became hesitant to look at the pictures. I forced myself through it and was happy to have come out learning a lot. It was after that, that I made a trip to a bookstore in Hogsmeade and picked up a book on masturbation. It included stuff for both males and females, so I was somewhat confident in my knowledge of how to pleasure my partner in that department in the chance that we went that far. Since it was what I wanted to do today, I was happy that I had taken the time to do such research.
Draco kissed me softly before rolling off me, "Are you sure?"
"Completely," I replied and to show him, I removed my own underwear and flung it across the room. He laughed and followed my lead, tossing his boxers to join my undies. We were still covered by the sheet so we still hadn't seen each other, but he moved over pressing his body against mine and I could feel him. I watched him as I snaked a hand under the sheets, resting it on his hip before slowly moving over to hold him. I couldn't help the feeling of elation that filled me as he inhaled sharply and closed his eyes. Moving my hand over him, I was surprised; it felt nothing like what I would have thought, the skin was really soft. Now that I held it in my hand, I really wanted to see it. I stopped moving my hand and rest it on his hip, waiting for Draco to open his eyes. Once he did, I whipped the covers off, revealing us both at the same time.
We kept eye contact for a moment longer before I finally looked away. I'm not really sure what my reaction should be, it wasn't gross but it wasn't the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I took it in my hand again and it was a little softer than before, probably because of the sudden rush of cold when I threw off the blankets, but as I ran my hand over it, I began to feel it harden. I guess there was a surprised expression on my face because Draco suddenly started laughing before rolling over on top of me.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You," he kissed me again.
"Sorry, I …"
"You have nothing to apologize for. I could tell you were trying to come up with something to say but you don't have to say anything. As long as you aren't saying 'ew' and pushing me away, any reaction is good."
I laughed and kissed him.
"Since you touched me, does that mean I get to touch you?"
My stomach dropped and I could feel my face flush. I don't know what is wrong with me, this is what I wanted. So why did I suddenly feel like I was going to throw up?
Draco smiled softly and kissed my nose. "I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast, and we can get back to this later."
I watched him roll off the bed and walk through the door to our bathroom. He had a really nice ass. Getting out of bed and going to my dresser, I hurried to pull on clothes while feeling awful about myself.
"You almost ready?"
"Yeah," I turned around to see him buttoning a black silk shirt, "just, uh, let me find my shoes." I turned away and went to walk around the bed when a hand closed around my wrist and pulled me into a hard chest.
"Don't do that; don't be ashamed because you got scared. I told you you have complete control over how far we go at any time."
I wrapped my arms around him and buried my head in his neck trying not to cry. Merlin I felt so stupid. Draco's arms tightened around me as he whispered in my ear, telling me everything is ok and that he never wants me to feel pressured when I'm with him.
I pulled away to smile at him and his hands came up to cup my face, whipping at my cheeks with his thumbs. My smile faltered and I stepped back out of his hold, rubbing my eyes.
"Merlin, look at me. Could I be more pathetic?"
Draco's smile was warm as he leaned forward to kiss me, "You are anything but pathetic. Now come on, let's go get breakfast."
I grabbed my shoes and after slipping them on, he took my hand and we walked out of our common room together. It gave me a small thrill to be walking through the school holding his hand, knowing more than likely we'd be caught. It seemed to be our lucky day though, since we didn't run into anyone until we got outside the Great Hall.
Draco squeezed my hand before letting it go and started talking about the Valentine's dance. "I owled the Weird Sisters and they confirmed that all the band members were fine and they will be here. I also checked on the flower arrangements and they'll be here on the 13th."
"Excellent, now we just have to check on the gift bags and figure out the times for each year. I'm also wondering if we can convince Dumbledore to let us chaperone the dance so that the professors don't have to."
"Good idea, I bet if we could get the prefects to chaperone too we wouldn't have any problems convincing him."
"We can bring it up at the Prefect's meeting, I'm sure they'll all agree. The thought of not having any chaperones should be incentive enough." We entered the Great Hall and saying a quick good bye we went our separate ways. I noticed a few people sending us surprised looks but I ignored them.
"What was that about?" Ron asked as I sat between him and Harry.
"We were talking about the Valentine's dance," I replied.
Ron and Harry started discussing their surprise that Draco was actually capable of civil conversation while I ate my breakfast. I tuned out their conversation as soon as it turned to Quidditch, satisfied they didn't suspect anything. I chatted with Ginny a little, telling her about mine and Draco's idea of the Prefects and Heads chaperoning the dance. As we talked I occasionally looked past her to watch Pansy push herself on Draco. He smirked and pushed her hands off him while saying something in her ear. Whatever he said made her smile and though she kept her hands away, she scooted closer, and it pissed me off.
"Hermione?"
I quickly turned my attention to Ginny, realizing she had been talking while I watched Draco. "What? Sorry, kinda zoned out," I took a drink of my pumpkin juice and glanced over at him one more time, catching his eye. I kept eye contact for a moment before putting down my pumpkin juice and turning to Ginny, who was just turning around with an accusatory look. Her smile turned evil when a red tulip suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Oh hell," I said as she just continued to smile. "Say anything and I'll hex you."
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me, but you owe me an explanation," she stood up and beckoned me to follow her. I looked down at my half eaten breakfast and realizing I wasn't hungry anymore, I snatched the flower off my plate and followed.
She led me into an empty classroom and after locking and silencing the room, the questions began.
"When?"
"Five months."
"How?"
"He tackled me on the couch, kissed me, and we talked about it."
"Well, that's unconventional," she laughed.
"Nothing about us is conventional," I said as I sat at one of the desks.
"So, have you two, you know, done it?"
I gave her a reproving look, "No Ginny, we have not had sex."
"Really, wow, that's got to be a record for Malfoy."
I couldn't help but laugh at that, knowing about his sex god status, though it still made me a little angry. "We're working up to it, I just saw him completely naked this morning."
"Oh Merlin, is his body as amazing out of his clothes as it is in them?"
I smirked, "It's even better. He's all hard muscle and soft skin. He's well endowed and he's got the most amazing ass."
"Sounds like you made bank," Ginny laughed. "And thanks for the visual, my dreams will be very good for awhile."
"Ew! Don't dream about my boyfriend, that's just weird," I laughed, happy she wasn't screaming at me about how insane I was and that I was an awful friend to date the enemy.
"So he really is your boyfriend?" She asked, her tone serious.
"Yeah."
"And he treats you well?"
I brought the flower to my nose and smiled, "He's amazing Ginny. I wouldn't have thought it to be like that with him, but it is. All he wants to do is cuddle on the couch and read with me, and when I told him I wanted us to work our way toward sex, he gave me complete control. Like this morning…," I paused and looked at her, "is it ok if I talk about this with you? I don't want you to feel awkward."
"Go on, I'm not exactly pure either," she shrugged.
"Ok. Well, this morning, like I said, was the first time we saw each other completely naked. I, well, touched him and in a roundabout way he asked if it was ok if he touched me, well, I suddenly got really nervous and felt like I was going to be sick. Right after that he mentioned we should go get breakfast and left the room. I was upset afterwards and he was so supportive, telling me it was ok and reminding me that I have full control as to how far we go."
"Wow," Ginny sighed.
"I know, he's amazing." I smiled softly and held up the flower, "He's sorry."
"For what?" She sounded surprised.
"Pansy was all over him, that's why I was watching. I just don't know what's wrong with me. I want to go farther, I know I do, but for some reason, the closer to having sex we get, the more nervous I get. I'll be totally ready and excited and then something changes and suddenly I'm a nervous wreck."
"Maybe you aren't as ready as you thought, or, maybe, there is some issue with him that you just can't get over and it's holding you back."
I thought about that and it brought me back to my issue with not going farther with him before; trust. And suddenly it clicked, I didn't trust him as much as I thought I did or as much as I convinced myself I did. I watched him this morning with Pansy waiting for some signal that he's been with another girl. Some small part of me expected him to go off with some girl and have at it, while I was none the wiser.
Ginny walked over to me and put her hand on my shoulder, "Talk it out with him, if he's as great as you make him seem, you'll work it out."
I nodded and stood to follow her out of the room. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't realize Ginny had stopped in the doorway and ran into her.
"Ginny, why did you..." I looked around her, "…oh."
"Weaselette and Granger in a classroom together, now what could be going on in there that you locked the door?" Draco leaned against the opposite wall, his arms crossed, and a sneer polluting his face.
I waited for a few first years to scurry away before I answered. "It's ok, I told her."
His body relaxed and his face softened, "I assumed so, just keeping up appearances. How'd she take it?"
"Why are you talking about her as if she isn't here?"
"Because I don't think she is."
I squeezed around Ginny and looked at her. I couldn't help but laugh, she just stood there, her mouth hanging open and her eyes glazed. "I guess it's to be expected, she's never seen you in nice mode." I moved across the hall and tucked myself under his arm.
"Nice mode, huh? What's my other mode?" He kissed the top of my head.
"Bitchy."
"I'll show you what I think about that later."
"I look forward to it."
"Wow, I never thought these words would ever come out of my mouth but, you two make a cute couple." Ginny finally snapped out of it and looked at us with a smile.
"Welcome back."
I swatted his chest, "Thank you for not freaking out on me, well, us." It meant a lot to me that Ginny was taking this lightly. My chest felt lighter after having told her, it made it feel like I was doing something right. Not that I thought being with Draco was wrong, it's just that keeping it such a close secret gave it that impression. Ginny knowing also gave me someone to talk to about relationship stuff as well, so now I didn't have to struggle through uncertainties by myself when I didn't want to talk to Draco.
"You're welcome, but don't think that Harry and Ron will take this like I did. We'll deal with that much later though. You guys go have fun, I'll run interference," she waved and started toward the great hall.
"She's tolerable for a Weasley."
"She's very nice and just gave us her seal of approval, so you better be nice to her so she doesn't take it back," I said into his shoulder as I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"I know, I think I can be civil toward her, just don't expect me to be civil toward Potter and Weasley and I'll have no problems," he held me against him tightly.
"Want to go to Hogsmeade? I know we promised to keep us a secret but I'm tired of hiding away in our rooms. If people question us we can just say we're making last minute arrangements for the dance or discussing special Heads projects that Dumbledore gave us. Or maybe we could cast a disillusionment charm and we can walk around like a real couple, holding hands, kissing, eating together."
"I don't know if we could pull off Hogsmeade, but how about a picnic on the grounds? We can cast the disillusionment charm and hold hands, kiss, eat together, anything you want."
I agreed, happy to be with him outside of the confines of our common room.
Draco said he would take care of everything so all I had to do was meet him that afternoon near the lake. When I arrived I couldn't see where Draco had everything set up and thought maybe I had gotten the location of the spot wrong. I turned around trying to find him when he suddenly appeared right where he said he'd be. My mouth watered when I saw the food laid out on the emerald and silver plaid blanket (of course he would choose his house colors). There was a plate of apple wedges and a bowl of strawberries with three smaller bowls of chocolate, whipped cream, and what looked like caramel. I knew nothing good could come from this afternoon snack. Images of licking the sweet sauces off his skin flashed through my head as I walked toward him. The moment I stepped onto the blanket the air pressure changed and my ears started ringing. Draco sounded muffled as he apologized for the change. Draco grabbed my hands and lead me down to the blanket, giving me some time to get my ears to pop.
"That was awful," I complained.
"I know. I'm sorry. I went for the total security bubble. We are invisible, sound proof, there are redirection spells, the works. We'll be able to see out, but no one will be able to see inside."
"Jeez. No wonder the air pressure changed. Good thinking though," I grinned, "since I'm assuming those dips are not only for the strawberries."
His warm smile turned into a smirk, "Well, I had hoped."
What commenced was one of the most amazing afternoons of my life. The strawberries went untouched as we enjoyed the taste of the dips on each other's bodies. Draco favored my breasts while I enjoyed the hard ridges of his stomach, in the end though; we had licked whatever sauce off of every part of our upper bodies. The biggest thrill came from when the students gradually started coming back from Hogsmeade and walked by our private bubble. It made my heart race to be ravaged while people I knew walked by. Who knew I would enjoy being an exhibitionist?
The only problem we had was trying to figure out how to get back into the castle without being seen. We hadn't planned on being out long enough for everyone to come back so we had to wait a while before we could even chance going back to the school.
I lay on my back, staring up at the clouds. One hand supported my head while my other combed through Draco's hair, where his head lay on my stomach. Both of us had felt too lazy to put our clothes back on so we relaxed topless. I shivered as Draco occasionally brushed against my breast, his hand following the line of my body.
Lying there together, I couldn't help but think about that morning and the shame washed over me again. Looking down at Draco, his eyes closed and his nose nuzzling my tummy, my talk with Ginny played in my head. As rationalizations ran through my head I started to get angry at myself. Why couldn't my mind just shut up and take a hike?
"Draco, sit up," I demanded, the anger at myself seeping into my voice.
He jumped off me, "What? What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I stood up and began to work at my pants, my frustration making my hands clumsy.
"Whoa," Draco covered my hands with his, stopping my frantic tugging. "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking off my pants."
He looked at me, confusion written across his face, "What? Why?"
I looked at him like he was stupid and pushed his hands away.
"No, I get what taking your pants off means, I'm not that daft, but I thought you weren't ready."
I sighed, "Draco, I'm tired of listening to my head. I just told it to shut up. I want this, I know I want it, and my stupid head won't stop making reasons why I shouldn't. It was my idea to start this, so I'm going to commit."
"Ok, but we aren't going to do anything as long as you're angry."
"I'm not angry, just…sexually frustrated," I smiled trying to calm down. He smiled up at me before kissing my stomach.
"That can be fixed," he looked up at me pointedly, "but please tell me when you start to get uncomfortable."
"OK," I promised.
He kissed and licked along my stomach as he worked my pants undone. I stepped out of them as he pushed them down, my underwear still in place. I ran my hand over his hair as he looked up at me again, "Sure you wanna do this out here?"
I laughed, "This is as good a place as any." He just smiled and shook his head before motioning for me to lie down. He settled himself between my legs and kissed me, sucking and nibbling at my lips. His hand traced down my side to my leg encouraging me to wrap it around him. I did, wondering why he wasn't just going straight into fingering me. I pushed those thoughts away, assuming like in everything else he wanted to work up to it. I wrapped my arms around him and arched into when suddenly my ears exploded. Draco and I yelped, our hands covering out ears.
"What the hell!" I complained.
"I think the bubble came…down," a look of horror crossed his face as his hands slowly left his ears.
"What?" My stomach dropped when I heard a sharp gasp. "If that's Harry and Ron, kill me now."
"It's Harry…"
"…and Ron."
"…and Ginny," Ginny added enthusiastically.
"Shit," I whispered which was immediately followed by Draco's "Bloody hell" before he lay down completely over me.
"Get the fuck off her ferret!" Ron yelled before I heard him stomping toward us.
"Ron!" I started but was cut off.
"I can't Weasel, or do you really want her to bare all to the immediate party?" Draco snarled, his hand shooting out to grab his shirt. "Turn around."
I watched as Ron's face took on a violent shade of red while Harry's started to turn purple.
"If you think…" Harry started, his jaw clenched shut.
"Harry, Ron, turn around now. I do not fancy taking our friendship that far," I demanded.
Ginny finally decided to add her two sense and ushered the boys to turn around. As soon as they were looking away, Draco looked around quickly and pushed himself off me. He held his shirt toward me and I gladly accepted. I didn't see my bra and my shirt was too tight fitting to wear without it. I was shaking so badly that my hands were fumbling with the buttons and I was making no progress. Draco slapped my hands away and swiftly buttoned his shirt up until I was covered. His shirt was so long that I didn't need to take the time to put pants on. Right as Draco finished, Harry and Ron turned back around, impatient to scream at me about my bad decision and how could I lower myself blah blah blah.
"Before you start, I would just like to say…that you have no say." Well that was intelligent.
"What do you mean we don't have a say?" Ron yelled. "You're fraternizing with the enemy and we don't have a say?"
"I don't designate who you are and aren't allowed to date," I snapped.
"We aren't dating the enemy Hermione!" Harry gritted through clenched teeth. "How could you, after all he's done? After how he's treated you…us? He's a death eater Hermione."
"Actually no, I'm not," Draco showed his forearms as evidence. Pristine skin covered tensed muscle as he turned his arms over for inspection.
"That doesn't prove anything Malfoy, concealment charms are first year kid stuff," Ron said.
"So are the counter charms," I said and reached down for my wand. My grip tightened as I realized I didn't know what to expect. I didn't truly know if he had the dark mark or not. I shook my head trying to clear my thoughts. Glancing up at him, I said the charm and to my utter relief, nothing happened.
"Happy now Potter?"
"Not in the least, that only proves you haven't been given the mark yet."
"Nor will I ever receive it. I'd be a fool to take it," a pointed glance my way and all the breath left my chest. He meant me, I'm the reason why he refuses to take the dark mark, to become a death eater.
"And why would that be? Wouldn't be able to bear the pain?" Ron snipped.
Draco laughed, "Oh please, if anyone here wouldn't be able to take the pain it would be you Weasel. No, I chose something worthwhile to spend my time doing."
Harry and Ron's heads whipped to the side so fast I swear they got whiplash, "You've had sex with him?" they chorused.
"That is none of your business," I said.
"It is if he's using you to get to us!" Harry yelled.
"Oh, sure, make this about you! Not everything is about you Harry! I forgave him, I trust him, and in the five months that we have been together he has given me no indication that he has ulterior motives."
"Five months!" Harry and Ron said together.
Draco turned to me, "Do they always do that?"
"Sometimes, especially when they are really worked up."
"I've been friends with Blaise since we were kids and we've never done that."
"Really? Weird, it's actually normal, especially for people who spend a lot of time together."
"Hello, we're still here!"
"Thanks for the reminder," Draco frowned.
"I've kept silent through this, hoping maybe you would be able to work this out between yourselves, but this conversation has gone nowhere," Ginny turned to Harry and Ron, "you two obviously can't form intelligent questions and you two," Ginny now turned to us, "are about to be caught by a bunch of students. So, if this is to remain between us, then I suggest we continue this elsewhere and maybe at another time."
"Point taken," Draco said. With a flick of his wand, the picnic disappeared and I was dressed. He took my hand and with a nod to Ginny led me back to the castle.
Two loud "Ows" chorused behind us as we walked away before being followed by Ginny's loud voice. It hurt that they couldn't trust me but Ginny's acceptance and obvious support gave me a little spark of hope that maybe we would get through this.
