Chapter 7 - She Fell


Draco\'s blue eyes stared intensely into Hermione\'s brown ones. His arms kept
him held up enough so he wouldn\'t crush her. His chest was touching hers as
well as his legs were on hers. Most would see this situation and think that
they were way to close for comfort, when in fact both of them were quite
comfortable.

Hermione had learned long ago that everyone has a chemical reaction to
someone else, that\'s why some people you feel comfortable touching and some
he makes you squirm in disgust. Hermione always thought Draco would in be
the disgust category, tonight she stood corrected.

Neither made an attempt to move from the other\'s personal space and neither
complained.

Suddenly footsteps were heard and both of their heads turn to see Snape. The
person who had helped lead tem to the situation they were now in. His greasy
hair and intimidating eyes could course feat though anyone

The two students last seen on the ground were now standing as if they had
never been squished together on the ground before.

\"I fell.\" Hermione stated, her eyes widened and her arms kept going from
crossed to uncrossed, a nervous reaction.

\"Yeah... she... fell.\" Draco’s response was in the same state as Hermione,
very nervous.

Snape ignored their nervousness and quickly erased the image f the way he
found them. He didn\'t want to think about weather Hermione really fell or if
the students were developing some sort of connection. He would rather be
ignorant and from past experiences, he learned that ignorance is bliss.

\"Where is Ms. Parkinson?\"

\"She left right after you.\" Hermione stated, finding a very interesting spot
on the floor to stare at, meaning she didn\'t have to look at Snape or Draco.

\"Ms. Granger look at me when I talk to you.\" Hermione\'s eyes moved from the
floor to Snape\'s.

\"Why did she leave?\"

Hermione didn\'t want to say \"Because she thinks she’s to good for us\"
because she didn\'t want to sound like she was talking bad about her to get
her in more trouble. Because knowing Pansy she would find a way to put words
in Hermione\'s mouth.

\"I don\'t know.\"

Snape knew she was lying, even if the lie wasn\'t that big.

\"Fine. Both of you leave. Mr. Malfoy, next time you see Ms. Parkinson tell
her to come talk to me in my office.\"

\"Yes sir.\" Draco said before following Hermione out of the door.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Hermione quickly left the room, she didn’t want to confront Draco about the
feeling they both felt down on the floor.

She figured if she moved fast enough and got to her dorm before Draco had a
chance to get to her, then she would have a chance to think about what to
say to Draco when he brought t it up. Knowing Draco he would. Either to see
if they had something between them or to make fun of her.

Hopefully, overnight he would forget about it but Herminie doubted it.

She was so close to her dorm but then it was all useless.

\"Hermione. Hang on.\" Hermione found it odd, her name coming from his mouth.

So naturally she stopped in her tracks.

\"Yes.\" Hermione said turning around even though she already knew what topic
he wanted to talk about.

\"You know...\" Draco started. \"I\'ve seen you, with Potter, and Weasel and I
just get... jealous. I see you in class and I see you are a smart ass and
answer those questions with such confidence. It bugs the hell out of me.
Then I see Pansy going psychotic on you and I can\'t stop my self from
stopping her. Why is that, Granger? What the hell kind of spell have you
cast over me?\"

\"I don\'t know what the hell you\'re talking...\" She was cut off suddenly by
his lips. Her knees instantly turned to jelly and she collapsed against his
chest, molding herself to him. If it wasn\'t for his arm around her she would
have fallen to the ground. His tongue invaded her mouth, playing against
hers, challenging her to give him what he was giving her. She could only
helplessly cling to him and return the heated kiss, totally lost in a swirl
of gold and grey mist.

Draco then pulled back, looking into her chocolate colored eyes. He leaned
his forehead against her and ran his hand over her hair. Hermione was still
out of breath.

\"Fucking bitch!\" Both of their heads turned to see Pansy in the entrance of
the hallway with a very angry look on her face.

\"What the hell do you think you\'re doing?\" This question was pointed at
Hermione. \"Touching my Draco with your filthy mud-blood skin. He could catch
something.\" Pansy came closer to Hermione and pushed her roughly in the
shoulders causing Hermione to hit a wall, very hardly.

Before Pansy could do anymore damage then done, Draco grabbled her and
started dragging her away to the Slytherin dorms. \"Be right back.\" He
mouthed to Hermione before walking in the opposite direction.

Hermione’s hand rose to her throbbing head, there was already a bump
forming. Pansy had pushed her very hard and her head and back were hurting.
She figured that it wasn\'t best if she stood in the hallway like an idiot
knowing anyone from Snape to Finch could come walking by any second. So she
walked swiftly to the nearest empty class room and sat down, hunched over,
against the wall near the door. The classroom looked very dirty and dusty.
Many desks were stacked onto of each other and cobwebs filled the spaces in
between and every corner.

She sat back and waited patiently for Draco to arrive. He would probably
find her and if he called out her name she figured she would just direct him
to where she was.

She waited for about ten minutes, but ten minutes was all she had left in
her. Without meaning too she fell fast asleep in the darkened classroom,
stretching out along the dusty floor.
