The Thought Of It All

He pointed at the couch across the way and she immediately sat down. Hermione had no idea what was happening but the look on Malfoy's face gave her a pause. Something evil lurked behind his silvery eyes that flashed in the moonlight.

'I've lured you here to test a theory of mine, you just happen to be the victim,' he said with a smirk in place. From inside his robe he took out a small vial of clear water and handed it to her.

She opened it and took a whiff. It was odorless, that could only mean Veritaserum potion. But why would he give this to her unless...no.. her eyes snapped up to meet his.

'You must be joking me?' she practically yelled. There was no way she was tasting any of that.

'I am afraid not, I need to make sure you are keeping up your end of the bargain,' he told her.

'No way!' she protested. She jumped to her feet, dropped the vial to the floor- fortunately it didn't crack and made a run for it.

Hermione didn't get that far before arms snaked around her waist and pulled her roughly, she found herself pressed into Malfoy's back with her chest. She stopped struggling when she heard him groan.

'Let me go, Malfoy,' she gritted out. Annoyed that she was actually comfortable in his arm but relieved that he didn't seem as repulsed as she had once thought.

'And why should I?' he breathed into her ear, sending shivers down her spine. His hand that was wrapped around her waist started moving on its accord, rubbing her flat tummy. She closed her eyes, oh Lord.

'Please,' she murmured. He slowly pulled away and led her back to the couch and set her down. He sat in front of her on the small table, and picked up the vial.

'Two drops, that's enough. And then you are free to go,' Malfoy said calmly.

She looked at him and smiled. He couldn't do anything if she resisted, she'll just say that she'll tell Harry about what he had done in the bathroom. Malfoy, seeing the smile, slipped the wand and pointed it at her chest.

'One wrong move, and I'll use another Forgivable, got it?' he growled, annoyed.

Hermione took the vial from his outstretched hand and sipped a little. Malfoy quickly took the potion from her hand and pocketed it. He smiled evilly and began;

'Why did you come to the bathroom?' he asked after he saw her eyes glazed over and her face lose that ridiculous smile.

'I heard a noise, and followed to see what was happening,' she said looking into his eyes.

'Alright. Why did you follow me last week?'

'I wanted to see what were you doing,' she told him.

'Did you tell anyone about what happened in the bathroom?' he muttered.

'No, I haven't told anyone,'

'Do you know anything about what I have been doing?'

'I don't know what you do when I do not see you,' she continued in a monotone voice.

'Where is the parchment?' he demanded. This was his only way out of getting away from her. Once and for all.

'In my headboard, a little secret compartment.' he nodded. How was he supposed to get in the Gryffindor's Common Room, let alone the girls dormitory? He'd just figure it out later.

'What about Mcgonagall? Did you tell her that you thought I was the one to poison the necklace?'

Her answer came automatically. 'Mcgonagall doesn't know anything. I was just trying to scare you into thinking I was going to tell.'

'Why haven't you told anyone?'

'I don't want to believe that you are as bad as you let on.' she told him.

Interesting.

He leaned in and breathed in her smell. For a Mudblood, she smelt really good. Malfoy smiled. 'Did you like the kiss?'

Her face stayed the same when she said 'Yes.'

'What did you think about it?'

'I thought you were a really good kisser, but I hated that it was you who was kissing me,' she said.

He looked at her and saw that the glaze was fading. Her face flushed and her hand came out of nowhere with a mind-blowing slap. It echoed in the small room.

Malfoy clutched his left cheek. 'You stupid bitch. That's going to leave a mark,' then winced when a blotch appeared.

Hermione got to her feet and yelled. 'Well then maybe you could steal another potion from Snape's stash and use it to get rid of that mark, you perverted little ferret.'

He looked arrogant then, and it only vexed her more. She needed her wand so she could hex him like there was no tomorrow, then hide the body behind Hagrid's cabin where Fang can slowly munch him piece by piece. Merlin, she felt better.

'Look, I needed to make sure. And you think I am going to take the word of a Mudblood, when I could get the real truth with a potion,' he gritted his teeth against the pain of another blotch.

'I don't care what you do, just don't involve me again,' she opened the door to the room but Malfoy's hand stopped her.

'You think this is over? I am going to make your life a living Hell. You know too much and I won't let you off the hook that easily,' he whispered in her ear. He let her go and she stormed out.

Hermione wished she wasn't so curious about everything, including one very sly Slytherin. But that's what got her into this mess.
