Saturday Afternoon
Draco took Hermione by the hand and walked quickly toward his dorm. He needed to move fast before she had a chance to change her mind. He stopped halfway there and looked up and down the hall before pushing her against the wall again. Her face was still flushed. He kissed her again, more gentle this time. "Hermione...I ..I"
She looked up at him. "Sshhh. Just kiss me, Draco."
He did as his witch asked and kissed her passionately and with urgency. He was terribly aroused and needed her...now. He stepped back and took a breath. This was a delicate moment and he had to handle her just right. "C'mon." He smiled at her and took her hand. She followed him to the Slytherin common room. He told her to wait for minute and was disappointed when he stepped in and found the common room was full of first and second year students. He would not be able to take her to his room after all.
He grabbed his books and dashed back to the corridor where she was waiting, her look pensive and tense. Clearly she was starting to think everything through. His chance had passed. Fuck it. He would just potion her later. He would find a way to get her alone. But, not now. Now he needed to keep the game in play.
He smiled softly at her. 'Let's go get some studying done in the library, ok?"
She looked relieved and smiled back at him. "Sounds good." They held hands as they walked towards the library.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hermione started to panic when Draco disappeared into the Slytherin common room. Perhaps she had overreacted towards Harry? She couldn't believe he had hit Draco, and then to deny it! Harry's temper today was much more volatile than she had ever remembered. She hated herself for it, but found herself wondering if Harry had been involved with any of the attacks. He definitely didn't seem like himself. But, Harry and Blaise weren't friends. It would be exceedingly unlikely that they were both attacking witches and stealing underwear and not be in on it together. Did Harry somehow have access to Blaise's potion?
She scolded herself. No, Harry wasn't involved. That witness who saw Harry, either didn't see Harry and was lying...or maybe they saw a polyjuiced Harry? If polyjuice were in any way involved in all this, then it just took things to a whole new complicated level. She was tired of thinking about it.
Just then Draco walked out and gave her a small smile. It was reassuring. She was convinced that Draco wasn't lying. She said she trusted him, and she was going to. She was relieved when he suggested they go to the library. Ten minutes earlier she was in such a state that she might have had sex with him, but now that she had a minute to stop and think, she realized that would be a mistake. She needed to not rush into anything.
As she held his hand and they walked, she felt a sense of calm. This was right, she just felt it. They walked into the empty library and headed to a hidden table in the back. Hermione was relieved to see that Harry and Ginny weren't there. They could be hiding under the cloak, but she found she didn't care either way.
She and Draco tossed their books on the table and sat next to each other. She looked at him as he spread his books and notes out and lined up his quills, just like she did. She laughed to herself and kissed him on the cheek. He beamed at her and kissed her back, only on the lips. His mouth lingered a bit on hers and she kissed him back, shyly. He turned more towards her and pulled her towards him, deepening their kiss. She knew she should stop. They were in the library for Merlin's sake! But she found she didn't want to stop.
Their kiss deepened and then he pulled back. 'We should stop." He said tenderly.
Hermione swallowed and looked from his mouth to his eyes. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry." She turned away, slightly embarrassed.
"Hey, believe me, I could kiss you all day long, but I don't want to..."
Hermione waited for him to finish.
He thought and then said in a rush, as if it made him uncomfortable, "I don't want to do anything that will trigger anything for you...for what happened to you. I...I want to kiss you, Hermione. I mean, of course I do, but...I also respect you and don't want to rush anything and I.."
Hermione interrupted him, speaking slowly, figuring out her thoughts as they came out of her mouth. "Oh Draco.. You're so considerate. The truth is, I wish I could just forget what happened to me, but I don't think I ever will. And, spending time with you, like this, studying...and doing normal things..it helps somehow. It just proves that what happened isn't life ending. The earth continues to spin on it's axis and the sun continues to rise in the east.. you hold my hand and I feel like I might be able to be normal after all..You kiss me and I feel my stomach flip with excitement. It just, it feels good to be able to feel that way. Despite what happened, despite the unknowns about it all, I know I can be happy again...because I'm happy with you, Draco." She said that last part shyly, almost in a whisper.
Draco swallowed. He loved this witch and she was finally becoming his...the right way. Maybe he wouldn't have to potion her again. Maybe he could put all that behind them. He started imagining her naked, her mouth, her tightness...He had to stop or he would act impulsively. He had her on the line but he needed to keep reeling her in.
He took a breath and willed himself to maintain control. "Hermione, I'll do whatever I can to help..you just have to trust me! You have to tell me if I pressure you into something to soon or something you don't want. This is new..what we have between us and I don't want to move too fast. But, but you're mine now...right? I mean..you're not seeing anyone else? You just want to be with me, right?" His look was so vulnerable, it made her heart melt.
Hermione smiled and bit her lip. "I'm yours, Draco. I'm not dating anyone else."
Hook, line and sinker..Draco internally smirked. She admitted it! She was his. Take that Potter! If only he could fuck her right here on this table. The surge of adrenaline going through him right now was intoxicating.
"You're so fucking beautiful, Hermione...and amazing and brilliant and you just said you're mine! I'm so happy right now."
Hermione was watching him with anticipation as his look became predatory. He grinned at her. "You're mine." He pulled her to him with force, but not enough to hurt her. She felt his strength as he essentially lifted her out of her chair and onto his lap. He held her face as he kissed her aggressively.
Hermione kissed him back with as much intensity as he kissed her. He started rubbing the bare skin on her back, under her sweater. Her hands were in his hair. One of hands was on her waste, inching around to her stomach when there was a loud crash from a few rows over.
Remembering herself and where they were, Hermione leapt off his lap and into her chair. She was breathing hard and her heart was racing. She could see Draco collecting himself out of the corner of her eye.
She said softly, looking at her books in front of her, "we best start doing schoolwork."
He exhaled. "Yeah, that would probably be wise."
They spent the next 3 hours working on schoolwork, while occasionally stealing glances at each other. Every now and then, Draco would reach out and take her hand or kiss her cheek. Hermione was able to get a lot done, but really enjoyed Draco's sweet attentions.
They packed up their bags and started to leave the library. "I'll walk you back, Hermione and then I'll head right to the Great Hall. I won't be by myself very long."
Hermione didn't like the thought of him walking alone. "No, lets both go to the Great Hall, then we can head back to our common rooms with our classmates after dinner."
He smiled at her, "ok".
When they walked into the Great Hall, there were whispers and catcalls. They had created quite a stir in Hogsmeade being seen holding hands.
He smiled at her and then walked to the Slytherin table on the right and she walked to the Gryffindor table on the left. None of her friends were at dinner yet, so she sat alone at their usual spot and read over more of her notes from potions class.
She heard the sound of laughter and looked up to see Ron and Lavender walk in holding hands and Harry and Ginny following behind, but with tense expressions. Ron and Lavender sat across from her and Ginny sat to her left. Harry sat to Ginny's left and didn't say anything to Hermione. It was silent. No one was speaking and the tension was so think, a knife could have cut it.
Hermione didn't wan't to be at odds with Harry. "Harry, can we talk?" She said just loud enough for him to hear as she leaned over Ginny.
He ignored her and didn't answer. Ginny gave Hermione a sympathetic look and shrugged as Hermione pulled back from leaning over her and sat up straight. Hermione found she wasn't very hungry and really wanted to go back to her room and just be alone. She spotted a couple 4th years standing to leave and Hermione stood to leave as well.
"Wait, can I come with you?" Ginny asked, hesitantly.
Hermione looked at her curiously. "Of course! Why would you ask such a silly question!"
Harry's eyes shot up at Ginny in disbelief. She turned to him and said in a scolding tone, "You're the one being a brat. She just tried to talk to you and you ignored her! I'm not ignoring her just because you are." With that, Ginny took Hermione's hand and led her out of the Great Hall.
Ginny led Hermione back to her dorm instead of Hermione's. She knew for a fact her dorm mates had plans that evening and wouldn't be back till much later.
Ginny pulled Hermione over to her bed. "Spill, Hermione! What's going on?"
Hermione collapsed back on Ginny's bed. "Oh, Gin. Draco didn't attack me. I just know it. I know the evidence points otherwise, but it's all circumstantial and I know he wouldn't hurt me like that. He's crazy about me, Gin...and the truth is, I'm crazy about him, too."
Hermione sighed heavily and rolled onto her side, facing her friend who was still sitting up, looking down at her. "He was so sweet today. If he hadn't put the brakes on at one point, I probably would have had sex with him."
"Hermione, Harry swears he didn't hit Draco. He swore on the graves of his parents! And, you know that's not something he would do...think!"
Hermione looked at her friend, cautiously, debating whether she should share her minor suspicions. Or, if not suspicions, what Draco said anyway. After a moments contemplation, Hermione told Ginny everything Draco said about the witness seeing Harry, about the Slytherin witches who won't come forward and about the Slytherin witch who won't speak out against Harry.
"Hermione, that witness is lying! You know Harry wouldn't do that."
"Yeah, I know..I also considered someone was polyjuiced to look like him, you know to frame him." She hesitated.."But, Gin, it would explain the underwear."
Ginny wasn't having it. "A polyjuice frame job would explain the underwear as well!"
Hermione had to admit that was a very real possibility.
"It's neither one of them, Ginny. I just wish we knew who it was!" Hermione sat up. "I wonder if we could set a trap somehow?"
She turned to Ginny. "Do you have the sneak-o-scope Tonks brought back?"
Ginny looked at Hermione, curiously. "Yeah, its in my trunk. You need it?"
Hermione's mind was whirling. "Well, I think I was attacked when leaving the library last week. There's a closet right next to where I felt strange and got that signature headache. What if.." she thought for a second. "What if I hung out in that spot, we put the sneak-o-scope in the closet and you hid under the invisibility cloak. We'll let it be known to both Draco and Harry that I'm going to be alone...I don't know how, without making it obvious, but we'll figure out something. If it's one of them, they'll likely jump at the opportunity."
"I trust Draco, Ginny and I trust Harry...but I want to rule them both out. What do you think?"
Ginny thought for a minute, staring intently at Hermione. "Let's do it! Let's do it, Hermione. It will put this all to rest where Harry and Draco are concerned."
Ginny jumped out of bed and grabbed the sneak-o-scope.
Hermione picked it up. "So how do I use this thing anyway?"
Ginny took it from her. "It's easy. To make it record you say 'cartus'. To make it play you say 'Canto'. You wave your wand like this,"
Ginny waved her wand with a little swirl and said, "canto" over the sneak-o-scope.
Hermione nodded in understanding and smiled at her friend. "I like this plan, Gin." Hermione's shoulders sagged and she collapsed back on the bed again. She thought for a minute. "Either Draco or Harry is lying about Draco's torn shirt and busted lip."
Hermione continued, "I've never seen Harry as angry as he was this afternoon when Draco accused him of attacking that Slytherin witch."
Ginny chewed her lip. "Yeah, it takes a lot for Harry to lose his temper like that."
Hermione thought back to Grimmauld place between 4th and 5th year and how angry Harry had been when he thought he had been excluded from everything and left at his aunt and uncles completely in the dark about everything. "He got really mad that time at Grimmauld Place."
Ginny's eyes lit up. "Oh yeah! I forgot about that! But that was nothing compared to earlier today."
Ginny and Hermione sat in silence for a minute. They were interrupted by the sound of a familiar man's voice. "If you tell anyone, Blaise, and I do mean anyone at all, I will polyjuice your mother into a captured muggle, give her the lust potion and set her loose at the Dark Lord's next revel. Don't think I won't! Not a word. You take the blame for this and I had nothing to do with it. Am I clear?!
The shaky voice of Blaise Zabini responded. "Yes, Sir. Crystal."
The voice of Dumbledore could be heard next. "Severus! What's going on in here? Miss Granger and Miss Weasley came and...ohh, boys. How could you! Severus get a blanket for Trixie. Cover the poor girl." There were scuffling sounds. "Miss Weasley, Miss Granger, please get Professor McGonigall and tell her to contact the Auror department. A student has been raped."
Ginny and Hermione stared at each other in total shock. "Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed. "That was Professor Snape's voice!"
"Oh, Merlin! Hermione! Snape! Oh my God!" Ginny grabbed the sneak-o-scope and waved her wand over it. They listened to the recording again, which didn't start for several minutes after the incantation.
Hermione understood. "Ginny, when we ran to get a Dumbledore, we left the sneak-o-scope. It kept recording after we left. And it kept recording until we took it with us to get McGonigall!"
Ginny looked at Hermione in total shock. "The Aurors, they erased the recording."
Hermione interjected. "They erased the recording of the attack, but clearly they stopped the recording too soon. They must not have heard that last part!"
Hermione grabbed her friends hand. "Come on! We have to go to Dumbledore right now!"
The recorded attack happened in chapter 12 if anyone feels the need to go back and read it again after this revelation :)
