Whispers

Hermione shut her book and began packing her belongings into her bag “nothing like an evening of studying” she said, the feeling of accomplishment washing over her



“I can think of a few things that would be far better then sitting in the library”



Hermione jumped and smirk quickly replacing the small gasp that had escaped her lips “Draco Malfoy you are suppose to be at the pitch” she said as she swung her bag over her shoulder .Draco walked over to her and took her bag.



“Thank you” Hermione smiled and linked her arm in his. “Where to love?”



“hmmm how about that lovely single bedroom that just so happened to appear magically in the castle and that you just so happened to be assigned to?” Hermione smiled she knew very well that his father had paid a great sum of money for him to have his own room and at the moment she was truly grateful.



Draco’s smile widened “Is the brains of the golden trio attempting to get in my pants?” Draco grasped the area over his heart.



Hermione smiled wickedly “Maybe be I am” she said as she fiddled with the belt loop of his pants



Draco grinned “Come on love you can take a look at my personal library while I shower” Draco winked



“You have a personal library and your own bathroom?”



“Of course, what would be the point of having my own room if I didn’t have my own library and bathroom as well?”



The pair reached a fork in the hall and Draco stopped “Now Hermione you are the only one that knows about this alright.” Hermione nodded “if you make a left here you’ll find the portrait leading into the Slytherin common room, and if you make a right it’ll appear to be a dead end but -” Draco waved his want and muttered a few words and a portrait of a pair of children playing on a tree swing appeared “Password?” the children chanted “Heart Shaped Box” Draco said and the portrait swung open.



“Ladies first” Draco bowed slightly motioning for her to step inside.



A small gasp escaped her lips as she looked around the room “Draco your room is beautiful” Hermione quickly noticed a rather large nook lined with book filled shelves and a leather couch and table placed in the center. In the center of the room stood a large four post bed with dark green almost black curtains draped along the bed posts and silk silver sheets covered bed.



“Well care to take a look?” Draco motioned towards the library but Hermione had other ideas.



“Well I was rather interested in what type of silk your bed sheets are made out of.” Hermione smirked and propped herself in the center of the bed. Draco climbed in bed beside her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Hermione leaned into him; he was still a bit sweaty from practice but she liked it. The ‘musky man scent’ made her feel hot, she could barely keep herself from ripping his clothes off and riding him until they both collapsed in ecstasy. Hermione smiled wickedly and sat up and straddled his lap “I have a brilliant idea.”



“and exactly what would that be?” Draco whispered as he kissed the hollow of her neck, while running his hands over her hips and lower back.



Hermione moaned softly “I was thinking -”



Draco stopped and looked up at her “You were thinking….”



“I was thinking maybe we could …you know.” Hermione said her cheeks turning a brighter shade of red



Draco grinned and pushed her hips harder on to his erection. “that sounds like a wonderful idea.” Draco bought her mouth down on his and kissed her deeply. A small moan escaped Hermione’s lips, Hermione pulled on his shirt until she had successfully pealed it off and tossed it onto the floor.



Draco grinned, snuck his hands under her shirt and felt the lacy bra keeping him from her succulent breast. He pinched her nipples and bit her neck. Hermione pulled away and pulled her shirt over her head in desperate need of more skin on skin contact.



“Slytherin Green, I love it” Draco took in the beautiful site in front of him, grinned and kissed her cleavage. Hermione grasped the back of his head and threw her head back ’mmm he’s amazing’.



Draco reached behind her and unclasped her bra, pulling it off her shoulders he threw it onto the floor to accompany his abandoned shirt. His eyes filled with desire as he looked at her full breasts.



“Do you like them?” Hermione asked as she bought her chest closer to his face. “Very much” Draco whispered as he took her perfect nipple into his mouth. Hermione moaned and quickly unbuttoned his pants and pulled them off revealing his silky red boxers “Gryffindor red, I love it.” Hermione grinned and saw the head of his erection peaking out the front of his boxers, her thumb slowly teasing all the sensitive areas ’thank merlin I read ’The Male Anatonmy 101’’.



Draco groaned ‘make her yours Draco’ Draco’s eyes shot open ’oh no’ he pushed Hermione off of him “Hermione wait, we can’t we, I mean, I need to tell you something first, there is something you don’t know.” Hermione grinned and crawled towards him “I already know your past Malfoy, I could care less” She said as she placed small kisses on his chest.



“Hermione, really this is important.”



“What in Merlin’s name could possibly be so important?”



“Well you see I erm…I’m a -” Draco struggled to find the words



“You’re a what?” Hermione interrupted



“Hermione, I’m part Veela.”



Hermione’s face paled “you are a what?”



“A Veela-”



“Yes I know, but how? When? And why haven’t you told me?”



“I’ve just found out myself. The only person who knows is Severus. Not even my parents know, well I don’t think they know, they never mentioned it.” Draco nervously ran his fingers through his hair



“Have you tried speaking to your parents?”



“No, I’m not too fond of my father and my mother well, she is to busy avoiding father to talk to me” Draco looked at his feet “I wouldn’t know how to tell her even if she had the time”



Hermione frowned ‘it must be horrible coming from a family that doesn’t know how to love”



“and am I your-” Hermione hesitated, unsure if she wanted to know the answer.



“Mate? Yes.” Draco smiled



“Draco I, I don’t know what to say.” Noticing exactly how exposed she was she grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her.



“I don’t know what to say either”



An awkward silence filled the room, Hermione sat on the bed trying to analyze the situation. She was a bit confused as to how the entire situation came to be, well not the whole ‘them being at their current location’ that was her evil doing but exactly how he turned out to be part Veela. Hermione noted to herself to do some extensive research of the Malfoy family history. She did however know a couple things about Veelas; male Veelas were rare, they’re possessive, but extremely loving. Although female Veelas are known to be unfaithful to their mates, a male Veela would never do anything to harm his mate. Hermione made another mental note to research more on Veelas, but for now she had to comfort the man that stood before her, he did nothing wrong and had no reason to feel saddened by the situation.



Hermione stood from her place on the bed and wrapped her arms around Draco’s waist. The feeling of her erect nipples made his Veela side want to take her right there but he knew the timing wasn’t right. Draco sighed and pulled her closer “I’m really sorry Hermione” Draco softly kissed her forehead.



“You have done nothing to be sorry for Draco. Yes this does change things a bit but nothing we can’t work through.” Hermione looked up at him and gave him a small smile.



“Thank you” Draco couldn’t understand how she could be so understanding and wonderful. If he had been her he would’ve probably ran from the room and never looked back, not that he wasn’t in love with her, it was more because of the fear of commitment.



“For what?” Hermione snuggled against his shoulder



“For being the person you are.” Draco whispered into her hair taking in her scent of pair blossoms as if it were the last thing he’d ever smell.



Hermione pulled him back over to bed “Come on lets go to bed we can discuss this further in the morning.” Draco smiled and obeyed. A few minutes passed and he realized he hadn’t taken a shower ‘Merlin I’m disgusting’ Draco wiggled out from Hermione’s grasp who had already fallen asleep. After a quick cold shower he snuck back under the covers and joined her in the land of dreams.



______________________________________________________________



Ron glanced at his watch it was well past midnight and Hermione still hadn’t returned. Ron looked around the Gryffindor common room, no one other then Harry and himself were currently occupying the space and his best friend at the moment was busy trying to think of his next move in their game of Wizard’s Chess. He wanted to ask Harry if he had seen Hermione but he didn’t want to make it obvious that he was asking for her.



“It is awfully quiet tonight isn’t it?” Ron asked nervously.



Harry glanced at his watch “well considering the time it is not out of the ordinary.”



“I have to study for an exam I have in transfiguration in a few days.” Ron said as he called out a play to his chess pieces. “Checkmate” Ron grinned.



“Damn” Harry leaned back on the cushions of the couch “Since when have exams worried you? I thought Ronald Weasley didn’t study.” Harry said as he put his feet up the table



“I have to do well on this exam Harry.”



“Gods Ron you’re starting to sound just like Hermione.” Harry laughed and looked up at the ceiling “Speaking of Hermione, I haven’t seen her today since potions, have you seen her?” Harry not taking his eyes off this particular spot on the ceiling



Ron grinned ‘right where I want you’ “Who knows, she is probably off snogging Malfoy in some dark corner of the castle. Last I saw of them they were sitting out by the lake.”



Harry glanced over at Ron, he had an odd feeling his friend was hiding something. “Yes well that is her business, if she chooses to shag like bunnies with Malfoy then so be it”.



“How can you say that?” Ron hissed “He’s our worst enemy; I loathe him almost as much as I loathed Voldemort, if not more.”



Harry snorted “Ronald Weasley, if I didn’t know any better I would say you my friend are jealous.”



“Jealous” Ron laughed “Of him?” he laughed harder “Never! If I wanted that witch I could’ve had her, I choose better.”



“Lavender? You consider Lavender better then Hermione?” Harry tried hard not to laugh



“Yes I do, loads better, she isn’t as much of a prude.”



Harry rose an eyebrow “If you say so Ron, it is your business, I’m off to bed, goodnight Ron.” Harry picked himself up off the couch and made his way to his cozy bed.



Ron looked at the fire ‘that wench is probably off in that ferret’s bed’. Ron grabbed a piece of parchment and tied it onto Hedwig ‘Harry won’t mind if I use his owl’. The snowy white owl seemed upset at being woken up at such an hour and nipped at Ron. “Why you ungrateful-” Hedwig exited through the window before Ron could mutter another word.



_______________________________________________________________



Pansy looked out at the clear night sky from the Astronomy tower, which was usually used for snogging sessions but tonight was different. She decided she needed time to think, she had agreed to help Ron destroy the relationship between Hermione and Draco but she found herself feeling ashamed for her actions.



‘Nonsense Pansy, you’re starting to act like one of those hufflepuff gits’ Pansy snorted at the thought and peered out the window once more. In the distance she could see a snowy white owl making his way toward her. Hedwig gracefully landed on the windowsill and hooted “What are you doing here?” Pansy glared at the owl. Hedwig hooted and nipped at her “ouch!” Pansy noticed the note and took it from him. Hedwig quickly scurried off on a hunt for some breakfast.



PP,



Breakfast, tomorrow. Cozy up to the ferret as much as possible, I’ll make sure she sees it.



R



“That’s it. That’s his great plan?” Pansy snorted “Never let a man do a woman’s job.” Pansy muttered a quick spell and the piece of parchment burst into flames, not leaving a trace of its prior existence.





“Draco” Hermione poked him “Draco are you awake?”



Draco turned onto his side to face her “well I was.”



“Sorry, but I can’t sleep” she said as she adjusted her pillow



“Is something wrong?”



“Yes and no, I’m just worried”



Draco smiled and caressed her cheek softly “you have nothing to worry about, I’ll take care of you, anything your heart desires will be yours.”



Hermione smiled, it felt wonderful to be reassured. “I’m glad I’m your mate Draco.”



Draco beamed “I’m glad it makes you happy Hermione.”



Silence filled the room, ‘how could anyone just have let her go? She’s wonderful, she’s perfect, she’s everything I could as for.” Draco sighed and looked over at the amazing beauty laying beside him “Hermione, what happened between you and Ron? I don’t understand how he could just let you go.”



Hermione knew he’d one day ask she just didn’t think it’d be today. “Ron just wasn’t for me, he was too consumed in himself and eventually I felt like he forgot about me.”



“That idiot” Draco snorted



“Honestly, I don’t think he even realized he was loosing me until it was too late. We had these stupid fights all the time and the results were always the same and finally I just couldn’t take it, so I ended it.”



“Good you deserve much better and if I do say so myself I believe I meet those standards.” Draco smirked as he took her in his arms



Hermione giggled and cuddled closely to him “let’s try to get some sleep love”



“I prefer other things but…if I must”
