Hey guys! Sorry this chapter is a week late. I actually have almost ten chapters written and six of those chapters are typed, but I lost my flashdrive that had everything saved on it so I have had to retype everything on my home computer with a new flashdrive. As soon as chapter five is typed on my home computer too I will post it. I'm hoping by tonight, but my two year old might not let that happen lol. Response to reviews are below. Please keep the reviews coming. They really do make my day :).
This week had been long for Hermione. She had taken a few bright seventh years and a few that had barely been scraping by under her wing, so to say. It defiantly, kept her busy, which of course is what she was going for. Between avoiding Ron because of his actions, and avoiding Malfoy so she could figure out her feelings towards him, she was spending most of the remainder of her free time getting ahead in her reading for classes.
She had spent hours upon hours in the room, reading late into the night. But it seemed like no matter what she did, she was still having a few intense dreams about the blonde. Maybe it was because every night, the parchment would deliver a fresh “Good night” from Malfoy and every morning it would read “Good morning”. Either way, she was happy that she had been able to transform one of her muggle pens into a vibrator so that when she woke up from these, she could help herself finish what the dreams couldn’t.
Friday night she had decided to take a break from reading, and distract herself by conversing with Harry and Ginny. Not long after they had sat down in the eighth year common room, Ron walked through the portrait and sat down right next to Hermione, a little to close for comfort. Great. After all week of avoiding him, he chooses now to sit down. Since he was sitting so unreasonably close, she was able to, unwilling, smell his breath and was a little shocked to find not trance of alcohol.
“Hey ‘Mione,” he said smiling at her.
“Hi” she stated as she scooted away just enough so they weren’t touching anymore, all the while, not looking at him.
“So I was wondering if we could talk.”
“Oh, yeah? And what, pray tell, is there to talk about?”
“Well,” he said lifting his hand and placing it on her thigh. She froze and looked straight at Ginny and Harry. “I would like to start again where we left off.” Ginny and Harry just starred at him.
“No, thank you,” she replied, pushing his hand away.
“What do you mean ‘no thank you’?”
“I’m not interested.”
“What do you mean your ‘not interest’?” Ron asked harshly.
“I don’t want to be with you. You lost your chance when you started sleeping with every other girl.” Hermione said as she turned and looked at him. “Why would you think I would even be interested in you after that?”
“Oh, come on, ‘Mione!” Ron was on his feet. “I’ve just been needing some time since Fred’s death. That’s all.”
“Well you can take all time you need.” Hermione stood too. “We will never be anything more than friends.”
The whole common room had gone quiet. Ron noticed this and reached out to grab Hermione’s face. Before she could do anything, his lips were on hers. She tried to push him away, but he wouldn’t budge. Without hesitation, she brought her knee straight up.
“OOWWW!” Ron let go and backed away a little before falling to the floor. “WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT FOR?”
Quite a crowd had gathered around them now. “I told you I wasn’t interested! I like someone else now! And they like me!”
“What do you mean you like someone else?” Ron questioned.
Instead of answering him, she turned and searched the faces. Once she found his, she locked eyes, and walked straight to him. The crowd parted as she went, and when she got to Draco, without stopping, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. The whole room was silent.
When she pulled away, she smiled at Malfoy, who smiled back and took her hand. Hermione turned to look at Ron. The look on his face was absolutely priceless. Hermione could see Ginny behind him, grinning from ear to ear.
“You messed up, Ron. I won’t ever go back to you.” Hermione didn’t yell. She wanted him to understand, and this was the only way she thought she might get through to him. “Maybe one day we can be friends again, but you need to move on first.”
Ron had finally closed his mouth, but his hands were balling into fists at his side. Without warning, Ron made to lunge at Malfoy, but Harry, having seen this, had restrained him.
“Let go of me Harry!” Ron struggled against him but Neville and Seamus had gotten up to help.
“Let’s go.” Harry said, shoving Ron out of the common room. Once Ron was out, thanks to Neville and Seamus, Harry turned back to look at Hermione. She knew that look well. It meant that she would need to sit down with him soon.

“So…” Draco said as he and Hermione walked through the castle.
“So…” Hermione replied. “I’m sorry for avoiding you all week. I just needed to figure things out.”
“Understandable.” Draco had kind of figured as much, but the clarification was good. “And you decided you wanted to be with me? Or was that kiss back there just a spur of the moment thing to piss off Weasley?”
“Well…I…I wasn’t sure about being with you, I guess-“
“You guess?”
“Just let me finish.” Hermione slowed to a stop and turned to him. “I knew I didn’t want to be with Ron anymore, that was clear. But after that kiss the other night, I wasn’t sure if it was just a lust thing or if I really wanted to try a relationship.” She looked down at their hands that were still entwined. “I kept playing the kiss over in my head. And the conversation that I accidently over heard the first night with you and Blaise. I’m still a little skeptical, but I’m sure it is just because of how Ron treated me.” She sighed and looked up to meet Draco’s eyes. “I’m willing to give this a chance, if you are.”
To say Draco’s heart was soaring would be an understatement. He smiled his biggest smile and replied, “You won’t regret it. I promise.” He raised his free hand to her check and rubbed it softly before pulling her into a kiss. It was soft and slow at first, but became heated quickly. Draco let go of her hand and snuck his arm around her waist. She, in turn, brought her arms around his neck.
He started to sneak his hand a little lower, but she slowed the kiss until it was just pecks. She withdrew just far enough to rest her head against his chest. “I want to go slow though. If we are going to be together, what’s the rush right?”
Oh, bollocks, Draco thought. “Of course.” His erection was only semi-hard, but it was still uncomfortable. “How about we keep walking?”
Hermione looked up at him and smiled. “Okay.”
They continued their walk to nowhere in particular, arm in arm. “How about we play Twenty Questions?” Hermione asked.
“What’s Twenty Questions?”
“It’s a game-“
“I got that much” Draco laughed.
“Let me finish” Hermione giggled. “Each of us takes a turn by asking a question to the other. The questions can be of any kind and must be answered honestly.”
“That sounds simple enough” Draco said relaxing. Hermione’s whole presence helped him relax. Plus, the game would help him get his mind off of his semi-hard-on. “You go first while I think of a question.”
“Okay. Question one. What is your favorite color?”
“Blue.” Draco responded.
“Really? I thought it would be green.”
“Just because green is my house color doesn’t mean it had to be my favorite color” Draco laughed.
Hermione blushed. “True. You look good in green though. Your turn.”
“What’s yours?”
“Purple.”
“Purple, huh. You look good in gold.”
Hermione’s blush increased. “Thanks. Question two…question two…oaky this one is a little more personal…”
“Okay, ask away.” Draco sensed her hesitation. “I promise to answer honestly, no matter what.”
“Okay. Is…do…do you still have the Dark Mark?”
Draco laughed again. Of course she would ask that. “No actually.” He stopped walking and started rolling up his sleeve. “It kind of caved in on itself that night after he was defeated.” He replied, showing her the scar on his arm.
“Oh…did it hurt?”
“Yes, it did, but I thought it was my turn?”
“Yes it is.” Hermione giggled.
“This one is personal too. I would like to know the answer, but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
“Just ask me Draco.” Draco. He liked the sound of that.
“Okay, here it goes. Did you and…are…are you a virgin?”
“There you guys are!” Hermione was actually about to answer him honestly before Ginny yelled at them from behind.
“Sorry to interrupt, but McGonagall wants to see both of you.” Ginny was all out of breath.
“Oh, good. You found them.” Harry came running around the opposite corner, followed by Longbottom, Lovegood, Finnigan, Theo, Blaise and Pansy.
“What’s going on?” Draco asked.
“My good-for-nothing-brother went to McGonagall and told her you had been put under a spell.” Ginny was looking right at Hermione.
A/N: Response to reviews!!
D_elliot: You sound like my sister-in-law. She reads through everything as I write it and after every chapter she's like "okay next chapter please" lol I love it. And I love how excited you are for the next couple of chapters. I promise I am working as fast as I can lol. I hope to not disappoint you :D.
Thunderbird: Lol yes, that last chapter was a little intense. It's going to get more steamy within the next couple chapters. Hermione needs to establish a little more trust in him first. What better way to learn how to trust someone then getting to know them more? Lol. Draco plans to be as patient as possible with Hermione because of everything that Ron has done.
Speaking of Ron...lol...what did you think about this chapter? A lot more Ron trying to atone for what he was doing and a lot more stupid Ron lol which is to be expected right? I do plan to at some point have everyone be cool with each other again, but of course trust takes time especially once it's been broken.
Thank you very much. Your writting encouraged me the most and I can't wait until your next chapters on your stories either! :)
