Weapon

Author note: I put this into the wrong section when I first posted the story. It\'s now fixed, and in the proper area. Hermione/Draco and not Harry/Draco XD

Disclaimer: I don\'t own Harry Potter and his clan. J.K. Rowling does. \'Weapon\' is used without permission and is by the Matthew Good Band. There was alittle bit of light smut in the previous chapter. Dunno if there will be some in this one or not. We\'ll see! ^_~ Same standards, ~blah~ is flashback, \'blah\' is thought and //blah// is a random snippet of song.

// Careful, be careful
Careful, be careful
This is where the world drops off

Chapter Three: Breathe out

She watched as he walked down the stairs. She then closed her door out of habit. She then went down the stairs herself, and flipped the switch at the bottom of the stairs. Strings of tube lights made the room glow a strange shade of purple, giving a \'black light\' effect almost. He pulled off his coat and placed it on the love seat and she hung hers over a chair.

\'Breathe \'Mione. Just breathe,\' she thought to herself.

Her old feelings tugged at her heart strings as she watched him look around her room. She chewed on her thumb while she eye\'d the laundry room door.

\" I\'ll be right back,\" she said. \" Restroom break.\"

He gave her a curt nod and she escaped into the laundry room/half bathroom. Nature wasn\'t calling her by all means. She closed the door and then glanced at her reflection in the mirror. She then turned the tap on and found herself choking back sobs. She balled up one of her hands and bit down on it. She hasn\'t touched him at all since she seen him at Harry and Ginny\'s wedding. She wanted to so bad it hurt. She blew her nose with a wad of toliet paper then turned the tap off. She wiped away what little tears she shed and stepped out of the bathroom.

She found Draco sitting on the edge of her bed, watching Crookshanks play with his shoelaces. He glanced up at her and she gave him a nevous smile.

\" I\'m guessing you don\'t want a confrontation with Krum,\" he said.

She sat down on the floor near the cat and smoothed her hair down a few times.

\" You could say that,\" she replied. \" He and I didn\'t part on very good terms.\"

\" And it\'s safe to assume I have some reason for that?\" he asked.

\" Yes and no,\" she said.

They sat there in silence again and she hated that she couldn\'t think of something witty to say.

\" I\'ve been wanting to do something all night,\" he said.

Her heart felt like it was in her throat. He then pulled her towards him and he wrapped his arms around her waist. With her being so petite to his tall frame his arms could wrap around her twice. She placed herself kneeling between his legs, enveloped in his hug. She in turn put her arms around his neck, breathing in the smell of him.

\" God I\'ve missed you so much,\" he said quietly.

She let one hand slip down and let it come to rest on his side. He then kissed the top of her head and let a sigh escape him.

\" I\'m the reason why your father threatens to disown you aren\'t I?\" she asked looking him straight in the eye.

\" One of the reasons,\" he said. \" He doesn\'t understand how I can hate the muggle born for so long then suddenly start to care for them.\"

\" I can think of three other people who helped you on that,\" She said.

He softly smiled.

\" Well,\" she said. \" I\'ve been wanting to do something all night myself.\"

She then kissed his forehead gently. He traced her face with his eyes, wondering what she was intending on doing. Like she had done when she returned the first kiss he gave her, she kissed his top lip then his bottom lip. He returned her kiss.

\" No good will come from this you know,\" he mumbled, their lips still touching.

\" Too late for that Draco,\" she whispered back.

They began to kiss again, tongues slipping past teeth dancing with a unheard music. Her hands went to his black tie and she loosened the knot and pulled it apart. She then let it drop to the floor. They then worked on removing his suit jacket and he tossed it onto the love seat. They broke the kiss long enough for him to pull her shirt up over her head. She then removed it the rest of the way and got rid of that too. They kept on, lost in their own little world. They didn\'t hear someone start to walk down the steps, or the sharp intake of breath.

\" Excuse me,\" A voice said.

They stopped mid-kiss, Hermione looked at the vistor. She wished her hand wasn\'t stuck behind Draco\'s heavy silver belt buckle. Ginny laughed as Hermione pried her hand loose of the buckle.

\" I didn\'t hear you knock,\" She said.

Draco looked away and tried hard not to start laughing himself. Luckily, Hermione was wearing a tank top underneath the long sleeve shirt she had tossed aside.

\" I did knock, several times in fact,\" Ginny replied. \" The two of you were just distracted and didn\'t hear it.\"

Draco and Hermione exchanged a look.

\" Now if you can put yourselves back together, Harry\'s upstairs. He\'s wanting to talk to the both of you,\" Ginny said.

Hermione pulled her long sleeve shirt back on and Draco adjusted his button up shirt. They then followed Ginny upstairs, both wondering what could be so important. When they made it into the living room Hermione stopped dead in her tracks. Draco didn\'t notice this, and ended up running into her. She grabbed onto Ginny to stop herself from falling over.

There across from them was Dumbledore, looking quite healthy in his old age.

\" I see that time had been kind to the two of you,\" He calmly said.

Draco looked very uncomfortable for some reason. Hermione swallowed.

\" What brings you here ?\" She asked. \" We thought Harry needed to speak to us.\"

\" There has been some development at the School,\" Dumbledore replied. \" Several to be exact. That is why I came here directly instead of sending a owl.\"

Hermione then looked at Ginny, who had the biggest smile of happiness on her face. Harry glanced back at Hermione, and she raised an eyebrow in return.

\" Professor Snape had some business to take care of and we need a replacement until he can return. If I am not mistaken, Mr. Malfoy you had made made top ranking in his class,\" Dumbledore said.

\" That\'s true,\" Draco said nervously. \" You want me to teach while he\'s away?\"

\" And Miss Granger to teach DATDA, since the mishap in the Potions class,\" Dumbledore said.

\" What happened?\" Hermione asked.

\" She was turned into a strange blue creature with four arms,\" he said, amused.

Hermione looked as if she was giving it some well given thought.

\" Alright,\" She said. \" I\'m up for the challenge.\"

\" Same here, \" Draco replied.

\" I then sugguest to pack quickly,\" Dumbledore said. \" We don\'t have much time.\"
