Twenty-Eight
January 8th 1999:
Hermione smiled as she practically skipped to the head’s common room. She didn’t see Draco on the train which made her assume he was already here. Opening the door to the head’s room, she was immediately met with two strong arms pulling her.
“Hermione Granger, I have missed you.” And before any words could leave her mouth, his lips were crashing into her’s.
Kicking the door to the common room closed, Draco moved the pair so that Hermione’s back was flush against the door. He reached down, without breaking the kiss, to lift Hermione’s legs to his waist. She yelped into his mouth and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her noise and her actions made him smile, she could feel it against her lips.
He pressed himself into her, showing her how much he missed her.
“Couch,” Hermione tried to mumble. Draco walked the pair to the couch and dropped onto it without separating from Hermione. Draco groaned as Hermione moved herself against him. While trying to roll them over, Hermione accidentally causes them to roll off the couch and onto the floor. She landed on top of Draco.
“Bloody Hell, Granger.” He laughed and she straddled his lap.
“Whoops.” She smiled innocently towards him. He shook his head and flipped them around so he was once again on top. He lightly kissed her lips before pulling away and staring into her eyes.
“Hello.” He spoke and she smiled.
“Hi. I missed you.”
“I missed you.”
“I can tell.” She smirked. Draco couldn’t help but smile at the smirk on her face. He really was rubbing off on her. “I looked for you on the train.”
“I wasn’t on it. I apparated to Hogsmeade from the Manor. My mom had wanted to eat breakfast and I lost track of time.”
“Did you have a good break?”
“I did. Did you?”
“It was slightly awkward. Ron told his family we are dating. Molly and Arthur were very supportive of it, as were the rest of the Weasleys. But that made Ron angry so he was a little unbearable to be around.” A smirk crossed Draco’s lips.
“I’m glad I have the power to annoy the Weasel from miles away.” Hermione smacked his chest.
“He just needs time.” Hermione kissed him and used the distraction to flip them over so she was once again straddling him. “Now if you would stop talking about Ron, I would like to snog you.”
“Not that I don’t love that idea, however first, I have something for you.” Draco sat up, still with Hermione on his lap, and moved so that his back rested against the front of the couch. “It wasn’t ready before the break. Happy Christmas.” Draco pulled a box from his back pocket and handed it to Hermione. She opened it and gasped.
“Draco,” Inside the box rested a silver necklace. In the middle of the silver chain was the outline of the Draco constellation. Each star is represented by a diamond. “This is too much.”
“No it’s not. I’m filthy rich.” Draco took the necklace from Hermione, unclasping it before placing it around her neck. He straightened it out before leaning forward and kissing her forehead.
“It’s beautiful. Thank you.” She kissed him. “I have something for you as well but it is in my trunk.”
“Your trunk is too far. You can get it later.” As Hermione laughed, Draco leaned in and kissed her.
After a much needed snogging session, Hermione and Draco left their common room to go for dinner in the great hall.
“What do you think would happen if I kissed you in front of the whole school?” Draco asked as they apprised the grand doors that would lead them into the great hall.
“Cheering from Theo, protests from Gryffindors and Slytherins and maybe a few Ravenclaws.”
“I’m going to do it.”
“You’re going to kiss me in front of the whole school?”
“Yes I am.”
“Not if I do it first.” Hermione smiled at him.
“Let’s just see.” Draco and Hermione walked into the great hall with their hands intertwined. Some people turned to look at the newcomers. Draco suddenly froze as everyone was staring at them. Hermione took her chance and pulled him down to kiss him.
Gasps were heard all throughout the great hall. However, as predicted Theo could be heard cheering.
“I’ll see you after dinner.” Hermione kissed him again before walking to the Gryfinndor table. He shook his head and laughed as he walked to join his friends at the Slytherin table.
“That was a fun little show.” Pansy teased as he sat down.
“She stole my idea. I wanted to kiss her.”
“I think it’s better that she kissed you. She is Hermione Granger after all.” Theo was smiling at his friend.
“Yes she is.” Draco said proudly. He looked up and saw Hermione staring at him. She waved and blew him a kiss. He smiled and waved back.
“That’s a sparkly necklace she has on.” Blaise pointed out. Daphne looked at Hermione and then at Draco.
“It’s beautiful.” Daphne said to him.
“I gave it to her for Christmas. I had it custom made for her.”
“What did she get you?” Pansy asked.
“Emerald cufflinks with my initials on them. She said my all black look needs some color.”
“You both are sickeningly in love with each other.” Theo said and Draco laughed.
“So when are you gonna fuck?” Pansy questioned while sipping her pumpkin juice.
“Pansy,” Blaise warned his girlfriend and gave her a look which meant for her to drop the subject.
“I’ll have sex with her when she is ready. How many times do I have to tell the lot of you? I am not going to pressure her or push her. When she is ready, she will tell me.”
“But she’s in love with you, and you’re in love with her. You need to tell each other how you feel and then shag each other’s brains out.”
“Pansy, I love you, but if you say any of that to Hermione, I will shave your head in your sleep. I care about her. I want to make sure she is one hundred percent ready. I don’t want her to have any regrets about it.”
“You are whipped.” Pansy replied.
“I know.” Draco ate his dinner as his friends laughed at him.
