Chapter 13
Sleep didn't come. It avoided me all night. The sun was coming up now, on what was my 19th birthday. I felt tired, I felt sick, I felt undeserving. I cuddled my arms around myself and stayed on my bed all day.
I heard a tapping at the window that pulled me out of my restless sleep. It was 2am the next day. I walked to the bathroom window and opened it to Theo hovering.
"Let me in would you? It's freezing out here." Theo shouted coming closer to the window.
I opened the window a little bit "Ever heard of a front door Theodore?" I asked sarcastically still not giving him the room to come in.
"You wouldn't have answered it. Now let me in witch before I freeze to death!" He had a point, I wouldn't have opened it. I sighed stepping back opening the other side of the window so he was able to fit through. He brought some cold air in with him so I shut the windows and went back to the bedroom. He followed me in and stood awkwardly in the bathroom doorway.
"What are you doing here Theo?" I was in such a terrible mood. I sat on the edge of my bed facing him waiting for him to talk.
"I have a few reasons for being here. But before I begin my list of reasons, let me start off by saying, Draco does not know I'm here. I snuck out, so I am most literally, putting my ass on the line by being here. Draco doesn't like to be lied to. It's part of his respect rule" I scoffed and rolled my eyes at this. Of course he doesn't like to be lied to.
"Well don't risk anything for me Theo, I didn't ask you to come." I said with malice. Theo shook his head and stepped into the bedroom now propping his broom against the wall.
"He told me what happened between you both. I get it, he can come across real nosy, and arrogant, like he expects to know absolutely every detail about your life. But it comes from a good place Hermione." He said stood in front of me. I looked up at him.
"No Theo, it was a step over the line. He was treating me like I was some sort of child. I can look after myself, I have done it for long enough, I don't need him to look after me." I spat. I don't know why I was shouting at Theo. It wasn't his fault.
"I get that. He's just worried about you sweetheart. He wants to look after you. It's what he does. He hates knowing the people he lov... the people he cares for are suffering."
"And I understand that. But to ambush me about a fucking apple Theo, come on you have to agree that's a bit over the top?" I asked hoping he would understand where I was coming from.
"From the sounds of things Hermione, all he did, was hold an apple." Theo said quietly.
"What.. no... he was.. he finished my sentence... he.." Theo looked at me sadly then, as if to say, so what?
"He was right though? When he finished your sentence? He finished it correctly. Didn't make any assumptions? Didn't make any wrong or incorrect statements?" I stopped talking then. I had nothing to argue back with. He was right. I was the one that got defensive. He was just trying to ask me if I was really okay. But even still, if I say I am, then I am. Even if it is a lie.
"Look, I really shouldn't be telling you this but, Draco's Mother, well she... she's not well. She's hardly spoken a word since the ear ended. She doesn't leave the manor, Lucius is in Azkaban and she just sits, all day. Doesn't talk, doesn't move, doesn't eat." Theo said quietly. "I know Narcissa isn't your favourite person in the world. But she's Dracos Mother. And it kills him seeing her that way. I think it was just a bit of a trigger for him, you know? He's seen the effects it has and he's so worried" I had no idea.
"I feel terrible. I didn't mean to get so defensive. I was...I didn't know" I trailed off.
"I know love. I know." He pulled me into a hug and took a deep breathe. "I'm not asking you to go and talk to him now, but he's been worried sick about you, all day yesterday and thought it was his fault you didn't leave your room. He was going to come and talk to you but knew you wouldn't answer the door, so that's why I decided to come over. I hate seeing him this way." I felt even worse now, knowing how Draco was beating himself up, thinking it was his fault I hadn't left all day.
"Well I'm going to head back to Draco now, feel free to join. If not, well, I'll see you soon sweetheart." He gave me a kiss on my head grabbed his broomstick and walked to the door.
"Wait, you're not going to go back through your bathroom window? Draco will know you left?" I asked shocked he'd so openly reveal his lie. He laughed shaking his head.
"Two things about lying to Draco. One, he always finds out you've lied to him. And two, I respect him enough to reveal my lies. Plus, it doesn't give him the satisfaction to be right then" Theo winked and was about to close the door behind him. I jumped up and ran before he could.
"I'm coming with you." I smiled. He gestured me to go first. I opened the door to Theos room and Draco was led on the bed. He was led awake when we came in. I stepped in not saying anything and stayed by the door whilst Theo walked to stand in front of Draco, holding the broomstick looking sheepish and shrugging.
"Where were you?"
"He came to talk to me. I'm sorry Draco. I didn't mean to get so defensive yesterday." I admitted with a sad smile.
"I've been so worried about you. I'm not going to push you to talk about anything you don't want to. I just want to look after you, I feel this need to protect you, from everything. And I know that's impossible. But I'm sorry."
The rest of the term went relatively quickly, I felt overwhelmed with the amount of homework we were being given and was looking forward to the Halloween break. I spent most of my evenings in the library. Draco and Theo were usually both away doing.. whatever it was they were doing. I only saw them in classes. They were gone in the evenings and the weekends, usually coming back for around 5pm on a Sunday. Wherever it was they went, they were staying overnight. I asked a few more times what it is they were up to but it was always the same answer. 'All will be revealed, you'll find out eventually' I wanted to find out now but they wouldn't budge. Due to that, our relationship hadn't developed past making out. It was driving me mad, I desperately wanted to have sex with them but there was just never any opportunity for it because they were both away so much.
“Hermione, it’s Saturday night. Don’t you think you’ve done enough studying for the week? I really need to run something by you” I looked up from my paper to see Theo sitting opposite me.
“Hey, you don't usually come back until tomorrow, everything alright?” Theo looked up at my hair then back to me smiling.
"Interesting hair.." My hair was wild as I had taken it out and put it up so many times it was just a frizzy mess.
"Shut up, what do you want to run by me?" Giving him my full attention I leaned back into my chair crossing my legs and he leaned over the table.
“Well, me and Draco were talking earlier in the week and we realised that we haven’t taken you out yet on a proper date. So we wondered if you’d be up to going out with us tonight? Just for dinner nothing too crazy, but I have left Draco in charge of picking the restaurant so it might be a fancy dinner… anyway what do you say?” He was smiling at me leaning over the table. A proper date. With both of them. Yes.
“I’d love to. What time?” I asked butterflies whirling around my stomach.
“Pick you up at 6pm sharp, oh, and bring an overnight bag with enough clothes to last the week of term.” We’re staying away from the school? “Also Draco is still out today so you won’t see him but I’ll be about. I'm going to play some quidditch now I’m actually running late, but come find me if you need me” Theo stood up then and kissed my forehead and turned to leave. I gathered all my stuff quickly and followed him out of the library.
“Where is Draco? And why do I need an overnight bag for the week? What occasion do I need to pack for?” I reeled off all my questions as I followed Theo and he turned walking backwards answering them all in quick succession.
“I can’t tell you where Draco is, that still hasn't changed, we won’t be coming back to the castle for the week, dress super fancy tonight and pack whatever you want for the rest of the week" he finished and turned back round continuing to walk ahead. We came to the common room and I stopped Theo before he could go upstairs.
“Where are we going?"
"You’ll find out later, oh and wear sexy underwear” he grinned, winked at me and turned to walk up the stairs.
“I resent that!” I shouted up to hear his laugh echoing back down. Dress fancy tonight? What was I going to wear? I had a few nice dresses but I don’t know if it’s as fancy as I need it to be. Knowing Draco, it’s going to be something like black tie. Better start packing too. I made my way upstairs began rummaging through my trunk, there was absolutely nothing acceptable for fancy tonight. I’d need to go back to my flat.
I used McGonagalls floo system after clearing it with her to get back to my flat, she left it open so I could get back. I rummaged through my entire wardrobe and tried on multiple outfits.
I settled on a floor length black shimmery dress. It had a cowl neckline and the back of it left most of my back bare, the dress dipping down to the base of my spine. No bra for tonight but I could at least wear some nice underwear, maybe I'll go for lacy green just in case anything happens. I packed a suitcase with a range of clothes, underwear and shoes for the week not knowing what I would need. I made sure to pack a bikini as requested, again not exactly sure what for.
I got back to Hogwarts and started with my makeup. I did a smoky eye because I thought that would go best with my dress. The winged eyeliner was a struggle but I got there in the end. I managed to put my hair into an updo using my wand and I brought some curled pieces of my hair down to frame my face, to finish it off I put some bobby pins in with silver jewels on. I had the floor length black dress on and it shimmered whenever it caught the light just right. It was tight fitting around my chest and flowed down from my waist. I had a pair of black heels with a matching black bag. I accessorized and finished off with a red bold lip. The pop of colour needed with such a dark outfit.
I looked in the mirror and, for the first time in a long time. I felt beautiful. I smiled at my reflection and heard a knock at the door, I grabbed my travel sized suitcase and put it by the door. Theo was stood at the door in a black fitted suit. I held onto the door tightly worried my legs might give way beneath me. He looked so good. I wanted to rip it off of him and never leave the bedroom. Theo’s eyes widened when he first saw me and it felt like he was mentally undressing me.
“Hermione.. you look incredible.”
“Not too much?” I asked just in case I over did it. He shook his head smiling and bent down to pick up my suitcase.
“You’re perfect. Come on.”
We left the tower and went to McGonagalls office.
“Do you have permission to use her floo?” I asked as we walked in her vacant office. Theo chuckled and shook his head.
“Only you would ask that. Of course we do. I’ll shout where we’re going and you step in okay? I’ll be right behind you.” I nodded and Theo picked up some floo powder. “Ophiuchus restaurant.” Theo spoke clearly and I stepped in. I had never heard of that place before. I stepped through the floo the other end and came out to a large empty room. It had gloss black floors so shiny I could see my reflection in them and instead of walls, there were floor to ceiling windows surrounding the entire room. There were no lights on but the room was lit up by the view. I walked to the window the sound of my heels echoing throughout the room. It looked like we were above muggle London, all the tall buildings surrounding the room, a complete view from every angle. We were definitely in one of the highest buildings in the city. I was in awe.
“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Theo said stood behind me admiring the view.
“It’s breathtaking Theo. Where are we again?” Theo smirked and shrugged.
“Can’t tell you yet sweetheart. All will be revealed. Come on.” He extended his arm and I hooked mine in his and he lead me up the floating black gloss staircase to the right back corner of the room. We came to the top and walked through a set of doors to a restaurant. It was exactly the same as downstairs, the black gloss floors the windows placed instead of walls apart from the very far back one where there was an elevator. The place was full of people, completely packed out, all of them wearing black tie attire. It felt like everyone was staring at us as we walked through. We walked past people sat eating and drinking, waiters were rushing around, glasses clinking together. It was a great atmosphere. The women were beautiful the men handsome, the food smelled amazing. It seemed to be a muggle place just from looking at a first glance. Theo guided me to the back and he placed his thumb on the keypad to the right of the elevator where there would usually be a button. It scanned his finger print and the doors dinged open. We stepped in and it carried us up further. I was buzzing with excitement and Theo looked very impressed with himself. The elevator came to a stop and the doors opened once more. We walked out to a smaller room now, another restaurant the same as below, except this one was empty. The same layout, just no people. There were three waiters who greeted us as soon as we came out of the elevator. One handed me a flute of champagne, one came forward and took my bag, and the third took my suitcase from Theo.
"Good evening Mr Fenwick, ma'm. Please follow me to your table." Who was Mr Fenwick?
I looked to Theo confused but he just smirked at me clearly not going to give me any further explanation. The waiter led us to the middle of the room. Draco was stood at the table set for three holding a glass of champagne. He was also wearing a tailored black suit same as Theo. I walked toward him placed my champagne on the table and took him in a hug kissing him on the cheek.
“Hi darling, did you have fun finding me? You look absolutely beautiful.” We pulled out of the hug and Theo and Draco kissed over me. Draco pulled my chair out and I took a seat and they both sat either side of me. I looked between them both completely shocked.
“This… is just.. well..” I wanted to say it was fucking amazing but I think it was a bit fancy for that.
“Theo, we have rendered the great Hermione Granger speechless!”
“This place.. it’s incredible! I’ve never seen anything like it. The windows, the atmosphere, the people. I have never heard of it either. It’s just absolutely stunning. Is it new? What’s it called again?” Draco and Theo exchanged a glance and were smirking at each other.
“Well sweetheart, it’s a place you would only know about it if you know someone else who’s been here. It’s very under the radar, very exclusive. And it’s called Ophiuchus. It means serpent-bearer” That was so different, so creative.
“Well it’s just amazing. Most definitely the best place I have ever been on a date. So who do you know that came here? Did they recommend it to you?” They glanced at each other again, smirking. “What?” Am I missing something?” I asked confused as to what they were thinking. The waiter came back over then speaking to Draco.
“Mr Black, your food is ready. Would you like it now?”
“Thank you Brian, we’re ready whenever you are” the waiter nodded and walked back where he came from. Black? Fenwick?
“Mr Black? Mr Fenwick? Is that you two? Why do you have different names here?” They were both lowly laughing now amused by my continuous confusion. I shook my legs under the table. “Tell meee” I moaned and pouted my bottom lip out. Draco brought his hand up to my face and dragged his thumb over my bottom lip.
“Now I can’t have you making that face. We’ll tell you darling, all in good time. Just, for now, eat, drink and enjoy your time okay? I promise we’ll explain everything soon.” I nodded and three waiters came over and simultaneously put plates of food in front of us. I don’t know what it was but it smelled so good. They poured us each a glass of red wine and left us to it.
“Oh Draco, you should have seen everyone downstairs. Every set of eyes were on our witch as she walked through those doors. All the men wanted her, and all the women wanted to be her” Draco smiled and looked at me.
“I’m sure that’s an over exaggeration, they did not all want me, or want to be me.It's probably just because we walked in and it was completely packed.” I said taking a sip of red wine, it tasted expensive.
“Don’t do that. Don’t put yourself down that way. Do you have any idea how beautiful you look tonight? You look beautiful every day, but tonight. Hermione you’re the most beautiful girl I have ever lay my eyes upon. Own it” Draco softly said to me, I looked down at my plate blushing. He had such a way of making me feel like I was everything I thought I wasn't.
“Also, Hermione I know what a man looks like when he wants a woman. They all wanted you. Take it from me.” Theo glanced to Draco then. “Just don’t go back down there with Draco. He'll give them all bloody noses” Theo said winking. I laughed out loud the sound echoing through the room. I hadn't laughed like this in such a long time. We finished up our main course and I actually ate most of it because it was so delicious. The waiters cleared our plates and Theo ordered a selction of desserts.
"So are we staying in London or something? Why did I have to pack a weeks worth of stuff?"
"Sorry, another thing that you're just going to have to wait for I'm afraid darling." I was getting awfully impatient with this waiting game. I have been waiting weeks! Theo and Draco ate most of the desserts, I picked at a brownie that was to die for but I felt pretty full already.
“So, I think you’ve waited patiently enough.” Draco and Theo stood up. Finally! I stood with them and moved to the windows to look out at the city again. I couldn't believe I was actually here. That this was happening to me. Things like this, do no happen to people like me. Draco took my hand and led the way to the back of the room where there was another set of doors. I hadn't noticed them before. They were really hard to spot if you didn’t know they were there, seamlessly blending in with the rest of the black gloss. Draco placed him thumb against a pad similar to how Theo did for the elevator and it scanned his thumbprint before I heard the door click.
Walking in initially, it was a small hallway. The black gloss theme carried on in here, but it also carried up the walls in place of the windows. On the right hand side there was a small alcove that was set up like a bar, it had multiple drinks bottles and glasses along the counter top, with a mini fridge built into the unit below holding a selection of wine and champagne. To the left there was a round mirror and a small unit underneath that held keys, wallets and other small items. Was this a hotel too? I walked down the corridor a bit further and it opened into a huge open apartment. Straight ahead of me, was another floor to ceiling window, white curtains open and pinned back either side. Going up and back on the left was a floating black staircase with a white grand piano that sit underneath. There was another door to the left. Theo opened it and it opened into an office. It was quite cozy compared to the rest of the place, just a large mahogany desk, a black chair and a bookcase on the left. Behind the desk was another window. Opposite from the door to the office on the other side of the room were three grey luxury sofas placed around a black marble fireplace that was at least 5 times bigger than the ones in Hogwarts. Flowing through to the right of those was a kitchen. A breakfast bar separated the living area and the kitchen, and behind the breakfast bar was the stove and sink with units on the walls. This was the most beautiful place I think I had ever seen. I was taking it all in walking around running my hand over the back of the sofas. I turned back to Theo and Draco who were still stood by the door watching me intently.
"There's two more rooms upstairs"
“Okay, will you please, tell me what this place is now?” I begged them speaking quietly.
“It’s mine and Theo’s place.” I furrowed my brow. What?
“Me and Theo, we own it. All of it. The restaurants, this place, the building. It’s all ours.”
“What.. but.. how did you.. when did...” I could hardly speak. How did they manage this?
“The ministry only froze Nott and Malfoy assets. They didn’t think to check under our Mothers’ maiden names. There was a lot of money we had put away, and Me and Theo, we just had this crazy idea one day, and well, we made it a reality. We have been working on this place for months. This is where we have been when we aren't in classes. This is where we've been staying on the weekends. We’ve had people working around the clock bringing our vision together, and it opened last week.” Draco explained.
“Fenwick and Black.” I said finally getting it.
“You’re not mad we didn't tell you?” Theo asked coming to stand next to me.
“Mad? No, I'm... I’m overwhelmed, I’m extremely impressed. But no I’m not mad. This. Well it’s incredible. You should be so proud to have accomplished something like this. You’re both successful businessmen at 19! I haven’t had many first dates. But this. This is the most beautiful, impressive, special date I’ve ever been on. Thank you for bringing me here and sharing this with me.” Theo shifted on his feet and took off his suit jacket.
“Well, this is actually where I have to leave you. I have some business to attend to downstairs." I was about to protest but he kissed me instead keeping me quiet. "Fun never stops sweetheart. But you two stay up here and I’ll be back later okay? Keep the bed warm for me” Draco walked him to the door and I walked over to the the piano, running my fingertips along the keys. I kicked off my heels. I can't believe how they have managed this. How were they not totally overwhelmed with this and classes at Hogwarts?
“Want to finish the tour?” Draco said pulling me from my thoughts. I bent down to pick up my heels.
"Let's do it"
“Come on. Up the stairs turn left.” I went in front of Draco and he followed me up, I turned left at the top going down another hallway. The door was already opened and once again, all of the walls apart from the one straight ahead of me, were black gloss like downstairs, and the one straight ahead was another floor to ceiling window looking over the city. I loved this. Set below the window was a large built in square jacuzzi that had a couple of steps the length of the unit leading up to get into it.
"Okay, I want full access to that jacuzzi at all times." Draco laughed and nodded.
"You got it darling. Come on, one last room to see." We walked back to the other end of the hallway and Draco opened a door into a massive open space bedroom. Unlike the rest of the apartment, it was grey and white instead of black. The bed was against the right hand wall, and another fireplace on the left. In between the fireplace and bed were two armchairs with a glass coffee table in between them. To the left of the fireplace was an open door, that lead into an en-suite bathroom. To the right side of the bed against the same wall as the entry door, there was a set of double doors. I stood in front of them and looked to Draco, who nodded for me to go ahead and open them. I opened it to a walk in closet that was probably bigger than my entire apartment. The wall straight in front of me was lined from one end to the other with all different types and colours of suit jackets, shirts, jeans and trousers. The left hand wall was full from top to bottom with different types of shoes and in the middle there was a unit with a glass top to it, that held watches and other kinds of accessories.
“Okay I changed my mind. Forget the jacuzzi, I want this closet.” Draco laughed and came behind me moving his fingers up and down my arms, leaving goosebumps in their wake.
He whispered low in my ear. “Then it’s yours. We will give you anything you want, Hermione. And you really do, look so beautiful tonight, darling. Sorry for being so absent the past few weeks. It's been killing us not seeing you as much as we liked and not being completely honest with you about where we were. But we had to get this finished to tell you.” I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"It's okay, I understand. I'm glad now that you didn't tell me actually. This was an amazing surprise. I've missed you. So much."
We both leaned into a deep kiss, moving to walk from the doorway of the closet to the bed not breaking from the kiss. I pushed his jacket off his shoulders and started to undo the buttons of his shirt. Draco loosened and removed his tie for me and I pushed his shirt off his shoulders. My hands and eyes traveled all over his chest, I could feel his abs, and feel all of the scars. I trailed kisses along one of them and he hummed with pleasure closing his eyes his breathing becoming faster. I kissed back up his torso and he pulled either side of my dress straps forward so it fell to the floor at my feet, revealing the dark green lace underwear. His eyes were on them straight away.
“Oh... those are...”
“Theo told me to wear sexy underwear.” I whispered.
“Remind me to show him my appreciation later” he pulled me back into a kiss and turned us so the backs of my knees were level with the edge of the bed. He pushed me back and the cool top of the sheets made me shiver slightly. I moved back up the bed so my feet weren’t on the floor. He climbed on top of me, resting on his forearms kissing nipping and sucking at any area of skin he could get to, devouring me. He moved down my body to one of my nipples licking and sucking the sensitive mound making me moan lightly. He continued his kisses down and stopped at the band of my underwear. I was breathing faster now, getting slightly nervous, but I really wanted this.
“Hermione, are you sure?” Draco asked breathless.
I looked down to him and he was staring up at me, hesitating. “I’m sure. Please Draco.” He hooked his fingers in underneath the top of the band either side and pulled them down over my knees. I could already feel how ready I was for him. I was so ready. Draco kissed his way up my thigh and I opened my legs slightly allowing him better access. He made me feel so confident, like I was the most beautiful woman in the world. All of my past body concerns vanished for this moment. The way he looked at me, the way he spoke about me, I felt like a million galleons when I was with Draco. He brought a finger up and placed it on my sensitive bud of nerves and began moving in a circular motion with light pressure, he brought his finger down coating it in my arousal. He hummed at the feel.
“Mm you’re so wet already, so beautiful. Tell me at any point, if you want me to stop. Promise me.”
“I promise. Please Draco, I'm ready for this.” I begged. I couldn’t wait any longer. I needed him. He pushed what felt like one finger inside of me and it went in easily. Painless. I had done this to myself a few times before but he was reaching places I never could. I wanted more.
“More, please.” He put another finger inside of me now, pumping them in and out slowly. It felt tighter but wasn’t painful. He was curling his fingers up hitting my gspotwith every thrust. He made his way down to the sensitive bud, starting off slowly with a kiss, then began licking and sucking it, along with continuing to move his fingers in and out of me, it was a whole new level of pleasure I had never felt before. It felt so good. I was letting out small moans and mewls. I brought my hand down into his hair and he continued to lick and suck at my clit. I could feel my orgasm building, I was so close. The sound of my arousal was filling the room as he continued to move his fingers in and out of me. I was getting closer and closer to that edge, and after a few more seconds I was pushed over. My fists grabbed into the sheets either side of me, and I was moaning Dracos name. I came down from my high and he came back up my body and took me in another captivating kiss. I could taste myself on his tongue.
“So, so, beautiful.” He whispered to me. I brought my hands down to his belt and began to undo it, he sat back up and pushed his trousers off, I could see his erection against his boxers. I hooked my thumbs in either side of them pulling them down and he sprung free. His was longer than Theo’s, not as wide, but it was still a considerable size that’s for sure. I felt a tiny pang of self consciousness again, having not done anything like this before. Draco must have noticed the shift in me because he came back down over me forcing me to lie back onto the bed.
“Hey, you don’t have to do anything here tonight. This, is all about you. All for you.” He kissed me once more and I felt the feeling melt away. I still wanted to try though.
“I still want to try and..” I began and he seemed to know what I meant. He nodded happy with my response, it was important for him that he knows I want to do it. “Will you help me?” I asked feeling slightly self conscious once again. He smiled and sat up on his knees, I sat up facing him. He took my hand and placed it on his member, I gripped my hand around it, and he motioned for me to start to move up and down, his hand still over mine moving with me.
“Just like that, it feels so good” he whispered. I nodded and continued to move that way and he removed his hand from mine so I was doing it myself. He moaned slightly and had his eyes shut. I knew now, why he liked giving people pleasure. It made me feel good to know I was making him feel good. It was a powerful feeling. I continued to move up and down for a few more minutes until he stopped my hand.
“You’ve done nothing wrong, it just, feels too good.” Initially I was unsure as to what he meant but then I got it a split second later. He smiled and motioned me to lie back down and we fell into another kiss, he moved his hand down and felt my arousal again, it was slightly sensitive from my earlier orgasm but not too bad. I was ready for this, ready for him.
“I’m ready Draco. I want you. Please.” I said staring into his eyes. He nodded and came over me, I let my legs fall outward either side and he lined himself up at my entrance.
“This might hurt a little initially. I’ll go slow, but tell me to stop if you need me to, okay?”
“I will, I promise.” I nodded. He slowly began to push into me, I felt an initial sting, but then it faded and went away. He kept going then stopped.
“Are you okay?” I asked concerned. He huffed out a small laugh and nodded.
“I, am more than okay. You’re so tight and you feel so good, I just wanted to stop and let you adjust. I’m only about three quarters of the way in.” He admitted. My eyes widened and I bit my lip.
“Keep going, I’m okay.” He nodded and pushed in a little further and that was slightly more painful then. He stayed still letting me adjust and it took a little longer than before, but the pain faded away finally. I nodded for him to begin moving and he moved back out and in again. I closed my eyes at the sensation. It felt incredible. He continued to move in and out slowly, but I wanted more.
“Faster, please move faster.” He looked at me for a second to ensure I was okay and then began moving faster as I requested.
“Hermione, you feel so good.” he groaned as he continued to pump in about of me. I was trying to keep quiet letting out only small moans. He looked at me and lowered his forehead to mine.
“Don’t hold back, darling. I wanna hear you” I nodded and began to moan as I initially wanted to, the room echoing with my noises. He felt so good, making me feel things I didn’t even know were possible. I could feel another orgasm building, coming closer and closer but I just needed something to push me over that ledge into ecstasy. Draco, seemed to know exactly what I needed as he brought a hand round and began circling on my clit. A few more seconds of that and I was cumming for a second time screaming his name. He smiled and not long after was moaning from his own release.
He lay on top of me his head in my shoulder and we stayed joined together for a few moments, both our hearts beating fast. My breathing slowed finally and he propped back up on his arms smiling at me.
“I’m going to pull out now. It might hurt a little, and there might be a small amount of blood, but that’s normal, okay?” I nodded and he began to slowly pull out of me. It was strange going from feeling so full to empty. I missed him as soon as he was gone. I felt his release trickling out from my entrance. I went to stand up but Draco told me to stay where I was. He left and went to the bathroom and came back with my suitcase and a warm wet towel and cleaned me up being as gentle as possible.
“Your pajamas in here?” He asked. I nodded and he opened my bag and brought them over to me. I put the top on still sat on the bed and went to stand up to put the bottoms on. I winced and Draco helped me stand and let me lean on him for balance. It was a bit more sore now but I liked the feeling. It made me feel so happy.
I got out my fluffy slippers from my bag because the floors were freezing, and went to the bathroom. My makeup was basically still intact but I took my hair down out of the updo, feeling instant relief as I did so and I put it back up in a loose bun. I made my way downstairs slowly the sting becoming more apparent now and saw Theo lounging on the sofa. He had his suit jacket slung over the back of the sofa, his tie was loosened, his shirt buttons undone and he was sipping on a martini. How long has he been sat there? He turned his head to me and raised his glass smirking knowingly. At least 10 minutes then.
“Have fun?” He winked. I sat next to him groaning a little from the pain. He put his glass down and pulled me up the sofa so I wouldn't have to do move anymore. I curled my legs up and he kept his arm around me as I lay my head on his shoulder. I just nodded and smiled, feeling like I was on cloud 9. I heard Draco come down the stairs and he walked past topless wearing a pair of grey joggers.
“Hey baby” He leaned in and kissed Theo before sitting next to me smoothing Theo’s arm that was around my shoulders.
“Did you even have business to attend to downstairs? Or was that just an excuse to leave us alone?” I looked up asking Theo.
“Yes sweetheart. Leaving you guys alone was always the plan anyway. But I’m the co-owner of this fine establishment and there is always, business to attend to downstairs.”
“You got that right” Draco laughed in agreement.
“So why did you both come back to Hogwarts this year if you basically already have a career? What more is there to gain for you?” I asked baffled as to why they would overload themselves with so much work. They exchanged a glance over my head. Theo shifted and looked down at me.
“For you, Hermione.” I furrowed my brow and Draco cleared his throat and placed his hand on my arm. I came out of the cuddle with Theo and turned toward him.
“We heard you were going back this year. And we knew, if we didn’t go back too, then we’d most likely never see you again. Both of us wanted to at the very least, ensure that you knew we were sorry. And well, things just developed from that point as you know. It was never our intention to stay if you had not wanted to talk to us. But you did.” They came back just for me?
“So, you plan on leaving before the year is up then? I don’t know if… well…” My heart sank. How was I going to face the year without them? How could I go back to not having them in my life everyday when we have the relationship we do now? They made every day so much more bearable. They understood me, understood my past and knew how to help when I needed it. They both seemed to notice my change in mood and Theo came to kneel in front of me taking my hands in his.
“No, sweetheart. We won’t leave if you need us to stay. We were going to leave if you hadn’t wanted to speak to us, but that was so you could move on without us getting in the way. We just want you to be happy.” I couldn’t make them stay just for me.
“But you can’t stay just for me. That’s so selfish of me. You have this whole building to manage, you have staff, you have to check on this place and you…”
“We can do all of that, go to school, and look after you. We’ve got staff who manage it when we’re not here. We cleared it with McGonagall before school started too and she said we can come back on weekends and evenings like we have been doing.” I shook my head and stood up wincing again having forgotten about the pain. Draco stood up quickly, sweeping me into his arms cradling me and began to carry me up the stairs.
“Hermione..”
“No.. you’re not staying for me. I won’t have it, you’ll burn yourselves out, you’ll be stressed, you’ll be tired and….”
“Just relax. How about we sleep on it? Please? I don’t like seeing you in pain which you clearly are hence my carrying you up the stairs. We can talk more about it tomorrow i promise but for right now, just come to bed, okay?” Draco pleaded with me. I did feel tired. And from what I had felt already that bed was like sleeping on a cloud. We entered the bedroom and it told a story of the events from earlier tonight. The contents of my suitcase over the floor mine and Dracos clothes discarded in different places of the bedroom the bed was a mess. It was the perfect night. Draco settled me down on the bed and Theo came in, his eyes scanning around the bedroom. They stopped on my underwear that was discarded on the edge of the other side of bed. He gasped and walked forward.
“You wore green?!” He shouted picking them up and putting them on the floor.
I laughed then looked back to Draco. “Oh yes, you wanted me to remind you to show Theo your appreciation for the suggestion?” Draco shook his head laughing and walked over to Theo on the other side of the room and whispered something in his ear. I didn’t hear what it was, but gathering from Theo’s reaction it was dirty, sexy, and a promise I very much wanted to be part of.
