Aside from the one or two early risers the Great Hall was empty. Hermione sighed and took her seat at the Gryffindor table. The long night of tossing and turning and questions of whether she should just get it over with now and walk over to his room had left her feeling irritable. Hermione glanced around the Great Hall ‘no one of interest´ She glanced over at the Professor’s table, Snape sat nibbling on a piece of toast, his eyes lost in a far off land ‘probably trying to think of new ways to take points from Gryffindor’ Hermione snorted as her eyes continued to scan the rest of the Great Hall. ‘When in the bloody hell did he get here?’ a small gasp escaped her lips as her eyes locked with silver eyes. She stiffened and took a drink of her pumpkin juice in attempt to break eye contact.



“Morning Hermione”



“Morning” she mumbled without looking up from her plate.



“How are things between you and Ferret?” Ron asked as he took a seat beside her and quickly began to fill his plate with eggs, toast and bacon.



“That’s not important”



Ron watched as she pushed her eggs around with her fork, ‘How can she even begin to forgive him and my sister…’ Ron shook his head in disappointment. “You know Hermione, you don’t need to forgive him, it is alright to hold a grudge, you don’t always have to forgive people.” Ron placed an arm around her shoulders and softly rubbed his hand over her arm, comforting her.



“I know” she gave him a small smile, and continued pushing around her breakfast.

‘The last thing I need is a pity party’





Draco stabbed a piece of sausage and shoved it in his mouth ‘How dare that piece of shite touch her’ Draco glared at the top of Ron’s head as he talked with Hermione ‘That should be me with my arm around her!’ Draco watched as Ron whispered something and Hermione looked up and gave him a small smile. Draco gasped ‘That’s MY smile, not his, she looks at me that way, not him.’ Draco fumed as he watched from a distance.



“What’s wrong Malfoy, Weasel trying to steal your witch?” Pansy giggled as she leaned in closer towards him.



Draco turned and glared “No one asked you, you pig faced wench!” Draco sneered and stab piece of bacon and shoved it in his mouth.



“Looks like little Gryffindor princess has you wrapped around her saintly finger.” Pansy said coolly as she twisted one of his stray locks of hair around her finger “And yet, here you are... Prince of Slytherin, heir to the Malfoy fortune, the world groveling at your feet and still you sit here fuming over Weasley.” Pansy snickered “Never thought I’d see the day, YOU a Malfoy would be jealous of HIM a Weasley.”

Draco straightened his posture, lifting his chin in defiance and coolly looked over at Pansy “Laugh all you want now, I know in the end I’ll be with her and you, you’ll be sitting here wishing you were her, and you’ll be the one fuming over Granger.” He smirked “see how that works?”



“She’ll never take you back. You’ve been nothing but venom towards her, then, when she thinks she can trust you, you go off and sleep with her best friend.” Pansy smiled, she knew she struck a nerve.



Draco smirked “Whether she forgives me or not is her choice and one that you have no say in” Draco grabbed his bag and left the table his robes billowing behind him in a fashion that would have left professor Snape slytherin green.

Hermione watched the quiet whispers and giggles between Draco and Pansy ‘Great, now he’s trying to get in her knickers’ she rolled her eyes and stabbed a piece of egg violently placing it at the peak of the small pile of bacon and biscuit ‘not that would take much doing’



“Bloody hell…what did that egg ever do to you?” Harry asked



“When did you get here?” She hissed “No matter, I’ll see you later.”



Harry watched as she swung her bag over her shoulder and headed out the Great Hall.



“Girls” Ron shrugged



“I don’t think I’ll ever understand them” Harry replied

The portrait to the Heads common swung open nearly falling off it‘s hinges. “Stupid git” Hermione mumbled to herself, keeping her eyes on the floor she tossed her bag to the side “grrrr” she growled.



Hermione came to an abrupt stop when she noticed Draco sitting on the couch, feet propped up onto the table, sipping a glass of fire whiskey.



“Do you ever stop drinking?” Hermione snapped



Draco raised an eyebrow and took another sip “no”



“alcoholic” Hermione hissed.



Draco shrugged and finished the contents of his glass.



“So what, Ginny wasn’t enough for you? Now you’re going to go fuck Parkinson?” She crossed her arms over her chest.



Draco coolly stood to refill his glass then reclaimed his place on the couch. “Like that would take much” he huffed “I could have had her by now if I wanted her, jealous?” Draco challenged.



“Me?” Hermione huffed “never” she added as she took a seat across from him.



“Contrary to popular belief I only have my mind set on one witch.” a playful smile danced across his lips.



“I believe Ginny and Harry are beginning to patch things up, you’re little fiasco put a big dent in their relationship, I hope you’re proud of yourself.”



“You’re a bright girl, I’m sure you are aware that it takes two to tango, but believe me I‘d take it all back if I could.”



Hermione stood up from her seat and walked across the room to stand in front of Draco. Hands on her hips, eyes about to burn a hole in his. ‘What am I doing?”



Draco looked up at her brown eyes, anger, hurt and frustration all mixed into two big pools of chocolate. Draco’s heart began to race, his fingers ached to touch her.



Hermione pushed him back onto to the cushions of the couch, she placed a leg on each side of him and lowered herself onto his lap ‘Shite, see what you‘ve done? Quick do something, say something, anything!’ her mind yelled. “So tell me Draco, why is it that you didn’t cross the hall and attempt to seduce me? You never know it might have worked.” she purred into his ear “am I not what you are looking for?” she whispered seductively, her lips softly brushing against his ear lobe.



Draco took a deep breath in an attempt to keep whatever self control he had left. “I d-d-don’t know” he mumbled, his hands quietly and slowly snaking their way up her soft thighs and onto her hips.



Hermione leaned in closer to him, their lips only millimeters apart “That’s to bad” she whispered “we could’ve had a mind blowing night together.” she purred.



Draco groaned, mentally slapping himself ‘idiot’ his mind screamed.



Hermione placed a soft, small kiss on his lips, suckling gently on his lower lip and then pulled away.



Draco melted, he looked into her eyes hoping she could see the need and desire written on his face. No one had ever made him melt into a pool of mush. “They’re always the ones doing the melting! Not you! Pull yourself together you pussy!’



Hermione smirked “Big bad Slytherin can’t handle little Gryffindor Princess?” she smirked “That’s alright I always preferred to be the aggressor.” She said as she began to slowly unbutton his white oxford shirt.



Draco groaned as he pulled her down against his hardened erection “You know you’re the only witch for me.’ He whispered.



“Prove it”



Draco smirked and crushed his lips onto hers.

Ginny shifted nervously in her seat, time seemed to be at a stand still, Professor Vector had been going on about something that definitely wasn‘t of any interest for the past hour. Ginny sighed and looked down at her parchment, hearts decorated its borders, with stars occasionally sprinkled in.



“Class dismissed” Professor Vector announced.



Ginny grabbed her things and exited the classroom as quickly as she could. “Thank Merlin that’s over” Ginny mumbled to herself.



“Hey Ginny”



Ginny looked up to see Harry waiting, leaning against the wall. “Hi Harry” Ginny smiled shyly.



Harry placed his hand on the small of her back and began to guide her down the hall. “So where to?” he asked as he took her bag and swung it over his shoulder. Ginny shrugged.

“Want to go to the common room?” Harry nodded and guided her in the direction of the Gryffindor common room.

“Actually Ginny I was wondering if we could maybe…go to your room, some privacy would be nice.” Harry blushed.



The blood rushed to her face, she could’ve sworn it was as red as her hair. “s-s-sure Harry” Ginny smiled.
