desire

She watched as twin storms drew near, she was surprised with herself wondering why it was that what she saw in his eyes scared her more than the person they belonged to. They were so full of need, desire. When his lips touched hers she felt herself melt within…they were just as soft as she imagined. Without a thought of the consequences she relinquished her fear and gave in to her emotion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He felt her give, her body relaxed, thought he heard her moan, and felt her fingers running down his back clinging to his robes. He tore his lips from hers, and trailed kisses down her neck…

She breathed in his name “Draco” and sighed heavily as she bit her lip…

Reality came back to him, what in Merlin’s name was he doing? She was a muggle. If anyone had seen them his ruse would be up and he would be an outcast. But oh fuck did he want her. Finally making a decision, he pulled away, and looked at her.

She was a sight, she was breathing heavily, her eyes were clouded with want. He almost changed his mind. But as he weighed the outcome, he couldn’t be an outcast he needed familiarity and to keep this he needed to keep up his lies….resolutely he leaned in and whispered in her ear….

“Gotcha”

And walked away leaving her there….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hermione stood motionless…she blinked and a tear escaped her watered lids. Quickly mustering her composure she grabbed her things and headed for her dormitory..

To hell with the rest of classes she couldn’t risk seeing him again today.

She laid on her bed for a couple of hours thinking of what happed…she had tried to sleep but he was there in her dreams. So she decided that staying awake would be better cause she couldn’t even face a dream Draco at this point for fear that he would reject her as well.
During lunch Ginny came to find her.

“What are you doing!? McGonnagal was asking about you. We had to make up a story about that you were sick or something.”

Then noticing her friends vacant expression.

“Are you alright? Hermione talk to me. What’s happened?”

Hermione began to cry. She tearfully recalled to her friend what had happened but decided not to tell her who it was. Fearful of what Ginny might think of her.

“Well whoever this nimrod is, he’s a jerk. I personally think you should act like nothing happened, in fact I think you should let him know you remember exactly what happened but don’t show that it bothered you…put up a façade--hell, get up I’m gonna help you get paybacks…”

About an hour later~~~~

“He is gonna squirm like a worm on a hook!” Ginny said admiring her work.. “Just take a look”

Hermione got up and faced herself in the mirror.

What she saw was breath taking. Ginny had spent the better part of the hour straightening her hair she had it combed back and slung over her right shoulder, leaving the left side of her neck exposed. Ginny said that this would make him think about kissing it again…She secretly hoped her friend was right. Her bangs were swept to the side almost covering her eye. The overall effect was nice and it accentuated her eyes and cheeks. Ginny had also used lavender eye shadow with a copper highlight, she used a topaz eyeliner and brown mascara she said it made her eyes pop out. Man was she right her brown eyes sparkled in the light. Last was a clear shiny gloss that made her lips look gorgeous…

She sighed…” I look beautiful.”

Her friend laughed” Your damn right you do, and when you walk out of her every boy here is going to think so too. Just one last thing. Turn around I don‘t want you to see yet”

Hermione turned from the mirror her friend waved her wand and whispered a spell…”Okay have a look see”

“Ginny I can’t go to class in these” Her friend and tightened everything.

“Oh yes you are, your going to wear the size you were meant to, no more of this buying clothes a coupla sizes to big.” walking up to Hermione he un did the top button. “ you can’t hide yourself from the world Hermione. Your smart and beautiful. To hell with this guy, if he can’t see you for who you are- then forget about him. Some other bloke is gonna try to sweep you off your feet” she chuckled ”especially after today. Oh and when you see him start sucking on this, boys go crazy when they see it…makes them think a a blow job”

She handed Hermione the sucker.

Horror sticken “Ginny I can’t do that, I’ve never given a blow job before.”

Laughing “Silly girl I didn’t say make it look like you were. All I said was suck on it, but don’t bite it-- well unless you want him to have painful thoughts…but just suck on it like you would a sucker occasionally take it out of your mouth and lick it, boys have a great imagination…trust me they’ll fill in the blanks all by themselves..”

“Thanks Gin, umm before I go can you do me a favor.?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Draco entered the potions classroom and took his place….his mind was a mess. Her presence lingered on his lips, unconsciously hit licked them remembering…..
He didn’t know if he could ever look at her again without wanting to have history repeat itself…mentally he came to a resolution to continue his appearance of hatred towards her and all houses except his own.

His thoughts were interrupted..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Hermione opened the door to the dungeon classroom. No one had noticed her yet, but with each desk she passed gasps and whispers quickly started. There he was facing forward, she took a deep breath mustered the best smile she could and took her place at the end of the table with Harry and Ron both with looks of utter disbelief of their faces…

Harry was the first to recover ”Ok, who are you, and what have you done with my friend?”

She laughed “Be quiet Harry” giggling ”It’s still me, Ron close your mouth, I just wanted to try something different. Who knows maybe your looking at a new me.” and with that she turned to the front of the class where Professor Sharp was beginning the lesson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Now you are all done gossiping about Ms. Granger we shall begin with page 392...there you will see procedures for preparing various ingredients for your potions…there may be a time when there may not be a store for you to purchase such things.” Sharp continued to drawl on about various techniques for drying and soaking and burning different things some needing a combination of the three in certain increments to properly reach the right effect.

He was much like Snape in the way that he tolerated Slytherins slightly more than the rest houses. Of course he was appointed head of the serpents house when he took the position of Potions Master. Some of the students had been hopeful that he would be more like slug horn who had been assigned the new DADA teacher, but quickly fell into old habits as Sharp took aim to degrade all before him…the students reflected this as a nothing new here attitude and took careful precautions not to feed his anger, having been used to this before..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco watched her from the corner of his eye…she didn’t even look like anything had happened, on the contrary she looked gorgeous. Like it wasn’t even her. All traces of the earlier encounter nonexistent in her expressions only a smile graced her lips. Oh her lips, they looked so inviting…he looked forward…stop looking at her, you can never go there, NEVER, she’s is off limits…he turned just as she placed the sucker in her mouth…his eyes widened slightly. Merlin help me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She knew he was watching her, she deftly twirled the stick pulling the sucker out with a pop before licking her lips and placing the candy back in her mouth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Memories of satin sheets invaded his mind, he could hear the pop as she pulled it out of her mouth…his breathing quickened as his senses remembered her skin, He tried to ignore it, put it out of his mind, she was just eating candy, but why was it bothering him so much…

He felt a nudge

“what”

His friend Goyle pointed to the front.

“Glad we have your attention Mr. Malfoy.” Snape sneered. “The Head mistress wishes to see the head boy and girl in her office, please hurry before you waste anymore of my valuable time.”

Malfoy turned to see Hermione already grabbing her things, and start to head out the door, he quickly did the same and followed…falling instep just behind her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She tried to breath normally, she felt him close on her heels. Her plan had seemed so easy, but now that she was away from the safety of others her resolve diminished. She couldn’t let them make it to McGonagall’s office.

All of a sudden there was a flourish of students that ran in front of her she was forced to stop abruptly. Almost falling he grabbed her pulling her close, he held her there. She heard him take a deep breath, His forehead rested on the back of her head.

They stood there for a moment neither wanting to move.

“Ye gods what are you doing to me woman?”

Finally she turned looking at him…..

“ I have a confession, McGonagall doesn’t really need to see us.’

And with that she pulled him into the nearest doorway and kissed him.
