Chapter 9
Well, at least Harry is okay with this. I think. Harry and Ron stand up and leave me and Malfoy sitting there. “That went great,” I speak up from my seat by the railing. “You really think they like a death eater messing around with perfect little Hermione?” Draco said with annoyance. He obviously didn't trust their reactions to the news. I stand up and walk over to Draco. I sit in front of him and lift his chin so he can meet my eyes. “Does it really matter what they think of us? I know it doesn't for me. What they think is out of my control.” Draco sucks in a harsh breath. His hand slithers up my back and to my neck. His thumb found its way to the front, exerting a perfect amount of pressure that sent waves of pleasure coursing through me. Lost in the moment, I closed my eyes, surrendering to the intoxicating sensation. A soft moan escaped my lips, betraying the overwhelming pleasure that Draco's touch evoked. It was as if his fingers held the power to unlock hidden desires within me, awakening a side of myself I never knew existed. But amidst the haze of pleasure, Draco's voice cut through, his words penetrating my consciousness.“Is that really how you feel pretty girl? You don't care what anyone says?” His question hung in the air, breaking the spell momentarily. Opening my eyes, I met Draco's intense gaze, his eyes searching for the truth within me. His touch still lingered on my neck, a reminder of the vulnerability I had allowed myself to show. I shake my head and look away. The power he has over me right now sends chills down my spine. His grasp tightens slightly. “Nu-uh. Use your words for me, baby. I want you to look at me when you say that you are mine.” I look back at him. “I don't care what people think about us. I’m yours Malfoy. All yours.”
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he pulled me into a passionate kiss. The heat between us was so intense that it felt as though my body would ignite into flames. Desperate to feel his presence, I inched closer to Draco, yearning for the sensation of his body against mine. As our bodies finally met, a wave of ecstasy washed over me. The heat of his embrace enveloped me, erasing any sense of time or space. His free hand wanders amongst my body, Grabbing and caressing each part. He grabs my hips, I hadn't known that they had been moving against him. He pulls away from the kiss to catch his breath. I look down and realize I have been practically sitting in his lap. A wave of embarrassment comes over me. “Gods you look so pretty in my lap. I have dreamed of this for so long. No need to be embarrassed, Baby.” Draco moves his hands along my back, providing a sense of stability to my trembling body.
“I hate to end this but I need to work on my task do you want to come with me or do you need a moment.” Draco carefully helps me to my feet. “Are you sure I can go with you?” Draco just responds to my question with a kiss. I follow behind him and we go to the room of requirement. I walk in sit back on the couch and watch him. My thoughts are wandering as I think back to what just happened. Never in my life have I had such thoughts like this, or should I say I haven't had any this dirty. All I want is for him to come over here and finish what he started up in the tower. But the reality of it is that even though we have known each other since the first year I came to Hogwarts this is the first time we have actually sat down and have been able to stand each other. Not to mention we are still young, I don't know if I want to lose that part of myself yet. “Baby, I can hear you thinking from over here. What's going on?” Draco's voice breaks me out of my thoughts. “It’s nothing, I’ll be okay.” He looks back at me with an eyebrow raised. “Don't lie to me, you do realize that I’m skilled in Legilimency right? Before you ask no I was not snooping through your thoughts. You were just thinking… Very loudly.” I sigh loudly. “Well, then you already know what I’m thinking no need to ask me.” Draco Stops what he is doing and stalks over to me.
“Hermione, I know you aren't ready why do you think I stopped you when I did? I didn't do that for me. God I loved what you were doing, you felt perfect. I stopped you before you did something you would regret later on. If you aren't ready I understand, I don't mind just kissing you.” I let out a drawn-out sigh. While yes he was right, It annoyed me. I want more than just kissing but I don't want sex yet. “Then what do you want Hermione?” I look at him. “Were you reading my thoughts that time?” He smiles at me and nods. “It's the only way I know how you truly are feeling. So I will ask again, What is it that you want?” Draco Says as he places his arms on either side of the couch, basically boxing me in. “I don't know” I try to say it louder but it only comes out as a whisper. Draco removes his hands and sits down next to me, before pulling me onto his lap. “Do you want me to touch you, baby? Is that what you need?” My face turns red and I look away and nod. “Use your words, pretty girl I know you can do it.” I look back at him. “Please… please touch me.” He grabs my neck and pulls me down to kiss him. He's rough but I like it, it feels like this is the only time I don't have to be in control of something.
He moves his hands up and down my body continuing what started in the astronomy tower. One hand stays on my thigh and the other one comes to my throat. He carefully squeezed searching my eyes for discomfort. I let out a whine at the contact. “You make such pretty noises for me baby, and I haven't even started to touch you.” I try to look away from Draco, but his hand on my throat stops me. I feel his hand on my thigh inching closer to where I need it the most. He pulls me in for another kiss. This one was just short and sweet. “Are you sure you want this Hermione, you can say no and I will understand.” I pull his face closer to mine and kiss him, something I don't think I could ever get tired of. “I want this Draco, please touch me already.”
“Stand up for me baby.” I get off his lap and he stands up, I panic thinking I said something wrong. Until Malfoy grabs the hem of my sleep shorts and pulls them down revealing my bare skin. His eyes darken with desire as he takes in the sight before him. I feel a mix of vulnerability and excitement coursing through my veins, unsure of what lies ahead but willing to trust Draco in this moment. “So pretty baby, all mine.” Draco takes a moment and scans my body over. He then reaches for my underwear and pulls them down. He leads me back to the couch. He sits down and pulls me on my lap. Adjusting me so my thighs are on either side of his. He brings his hand down to my thigh and starts to caress up and down. His other hand rested on the back of my neck. He brings his hand up to my core. I let out a loud moan. While I have touched myself there before, the feeling of his hands seems to not compare. “You are so wet for me baby.” His other hand roughly pulls me in for a kiss. His thumb circles on top of my throbbing clit. Ushering whines and moans from my mouth. He lifts me and rests my back on the couch. Returning his attention to my core, he slips a finger inside me, causing my mind to go blank as he skillfully works his way deeper.
I couldn't help but release a series of moans, pleading for Draco not to stop, as the intensity of his touch sent waves of pleasure coursing through my body. The way he effortlessly moved, his touch both gentle and commanding, left me craving more. His lips, soft and warm, trailed kisses along my neck, igniting a fire within me that burned with an insatiable hunger. I arched my back, pressing myself closer to him, desperate for the connection that only he could provide. Draco's hands continued their exploration, teasing and caressing every inch of my body, leaving me trembling with anticipation. His fingers danced along my throat, sending shivers down my spine, while his touch on my core made my breath hitch in my throat. I was completely at his mercy and I loved every moment of it.
As his touch grew more urgent, my moans grew louder, escaping my lips in a symphony of pleasure. I couldn't help but beg for more, my voice filled with a mixture of need and longing. Each moan was a plea, a desperate cry for him to continue, to take me to the edge and beyond. But Draco, ever the master of control, knew exactly how to push me to the brink without tipping me over. He teased and tormented, his touch alternating between gentle and rough, driving me to the edge of madness. I was aching for release. “Please Draco, I think I need to-” Draco nods his head in understanding. “Cum for me baby, Just let go.” And just when I thought I couldn't take it any longer, Draco's touch shifted, his fingers finding that sweet spot that sent me spiraling into a world of pure ecstasy.
My moans turned into cries of pleasure, my body trembling as waves of pleasure crashed over me. I clung to him, my nails digging into his skin, as I rode the waves of pleasure that he had unleashed. He lets me collect myself before pulling me up to him and kissing my forehead. With a tenderness that melted my heart, he gently lifted me towards him, cradling me in his strong, comforting embrace. I could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against my chest, a comforting rhythm that matched the pace of my own racing heart. I closed my eyes and let myself be consumed by the warmth of his body. “Take a nap baby, I will be here when you wake up.” I hear Draco mumble out. With his words echoing in my mind, I allowed myself to surrender to the embrace of sleep. The worries and troubles that had plagued me throughout the day slowly faded away, replaced by a sense of peace and security. I slightly wake up when I feel Draco carefully lift me up and lay me back down. I Let myself fall back to sleep after a few minutes. When I wake up I plan on going to the library to find something that could explain how Draco ended up in my room. I start to dream, a dream so vivid it feels as though it is real. I was standing in the middle of a destroyed Hogwarts, Bodies of the people I have grown up with here at Hogwarts surround me. I run over to see a person that looks like me standing over a body. I Study over her features and realize that she looks like an older me, and she's standing over the body of Fred. No, that can't be real. It’s just a nightmare.
The dream shifts and swirls into a different one. This time I am in a manor. I see the older me on the ground. I notice a familiar blonde standing in the room unable to look. Bellatrix Lestrange was pointing her wand at me. I could tell she was using the Cruciatus Curse. The blood-curdling screams filled the air. Bellatrix pulls a dagger out of its sheath and begins to carve something into the older me’s arm. I look away to see Draco's reaction. His hands were shaking. His face was turning red. I woke up suddenly, my body jerking upright as if pulled by an invisible force. My breathing is erratic. Draco looking at me worried. He stood up to approach me. As he did all I could feel was fear. “Don’t leave me alone,” I yell at him. He looks confused. “Hermione, what happened?” He asked me softly, so as to not scare me. I try to catch my breath, my heart still racing from the vivid nightmare that had just consumed me. “You just watch as your aunt tortured me, You did nothing to stop her. You just watched. You watched as I screamed out in pain, as I begged for her to stop. Then I had to see the people I grew up with here dead. The castle was destroyed.” I scream at him, tears flowing down my face. Draco's face changes into one that looks like fear. “Could you tell when this happened? Where were you?” I look away from him. I can't stand the idea of looking at him. “I believe it was at your manor. It has to be next year or the year after. I could tell I wasn't too old but I was older than I am now. Why does that matter?” Draco inches closer to me and takes my hands in his.
"Hermione I swear to you, I would never allow anyone to harm you, especially not my own family. I would never stand by and watch you suffer. I hate to say it but it sounds like you saw a glimpse at the future." His voice is filled with sincerity and regret. I can see the genuine concern in his eyes, and it softens my heart towards him. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself as I listened to Draco's words. His sincerity was undeniable, and a part of me wanted to believe him. But the images of the nightmare were still fresh in my mind, the pain and fear still lingering within me. "I... I don't know, Draco," I whispered, my voice trembling. "It felt so real, so vivid. I could feel the agony, the despair. And you... you were there, just watching. How can I trust that it won't happen?"Draco's grip on my hands tightened, his eyes searching mine for any sign of understanding. "Hermione, I promise to you if that was a glimpse into the future, I will not allow it. I will not let her hurt you. I will protect you and the order. With my life. Do you understand me?” I nod my head. “I do think you should tell Dumb and Dumber about Hogwarts being destroyed and the deaths, just uh maybe leave the other one out of the conversation I would like to live.” I roll my eyes at his nickname for Harry and Ron. “I can agree to that. But I think im going to pick up some books at the library. I want to see if I can figure out how you got into my room.” Draco nods his head and lets go of my hands. “Do you want me to go with you?”
I shake my head. “I’m just going to grab the books and bring them here. As long as you are okay with that?” He nods his head. “You should see if they have anything on soulmates or soulmate bonds. That might help.” I nod at Draco's words and head out of the door. The library from here is at least a ten to fifteen-minute walk. I start walking while letting my mind wander along the way. At least I can think for a bit until I get there. I approach the doors to the library. I carefully let myself in, Quietly so I don't get yelled at. Navigating through the labyrinthine aisles, I find a fairly small section on soulmates and their bonds. I grab the books and make my way to Madame Pince, and check them out. Before I leave I notice that Cormac is by the doors of the library. I don't have time to deal with that. With a heavy sigh, I tear my gaze away from Cormac and make my way towards the exit. “Leaving so soon Golden girl?” I attempt to ignore his presence and push my way past. After a second he lets me leave. I Make my way back up the path that I had taken and back to Draco. I open the door with a stack of books cradled in my arms, their weight pressing against my chest. The door creaks open, revealing the familiar sight of Draco standing there, his silver eyes gleaming with curiosity. As I step inside, he greets me with a warm smile, his voice laced with genuine concern. "Hey, do you have everything you need?"I nod, a small smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "Yes, I think so, "I sit down and open the book to the index. Hopefully, I can just scan through and find something. “Do you want help?” I nod my head. Draco grabs a book from the pile and sits down with me. I throw my legs onto his lap and begin reading through it. “You really are beautiful, even when you are just reading,” Draco tells me in a barely audible whisper.
