A/N: Ok, so its been two months since I last updated. I cannot express how very, very sorry I am that I am such a lazy ass. Hopefully this chapter will make up for it. . A little more Hermione/Draco action. I hope you enjoy.
Last time on CHS:
Hermione stiffened against him. "Wh-what do you mean?" she squeaked out.
"I think you know exactly what I mean,"he replied his lips almost brushed against hers. "You know Hermione, there's something I've been wanting to do for a long time."
She gulped loudly, silently praying for someone to come and rescue her, but at the same time she didn't want to be rescued. "And that would be?" She wasn't sure why she was asking, but for some reason she needed to know.
He was going to do it. He had to do it, it could be his only chance. "I would really like to kiss you right now," he said quietly. For some reason he felt he had to ask, "Can I kiss you?"
For once logic went right out the window when she heard the question that came out of his mouth and somehow she gave a small nod as his mouth came crashing down on her.
CHAPTER 6: Ginny's Discovery
Hermione stiffened a little as Draco brought his lips crashing down to meet hers. He could see the fear built up in hers eyes as she realized what was happening and he didn't care one damn bit. He placed soft kisses as she laid there not moving. As soon as she loosened up he didn't hesitate to run his tongue along the her bottom lip which made her stiffen up once more. What the hell am I doing? God, that feels so good. Wait, I can't be thinking that. Ignoring the little voice in her head, Hermione instinctively opened her mouth and deepened the kiss. Draco was taken aback as he felt her tongue enter his mouth.
Bloody hell! Draco thought as he moaned into the kiss and returned the gesture. He slowly brought his hands up along the sides of her body.
Hermione's eyes opened as she felt his fingers brush along her waist and traveling up. I've got to stop this before it goes too far. Just as she was about to push him off her Draco stopped abruptly. The sound of footsteps were heard coming dangerously close to the corridor that they were in. Hermione's eyes met his as they laid stock still not knowing what to do.
Coming out of shock first, Draco stood up pulling Hermione along with him. The footsteps grew along with voices as they neared. Hermione's eyes widened as she recognized the voices. Holy shit! She thought as Draco's eyes widen also recognizing the voices.
"So, what is it that you were going to do for the talent show?" They heard Ron ask.
"Ron, I already told you. I'm not telling," Ginny explained, sounding rather annoyed with her older brother.
Hermione pushed Draco away from her as the two rounded the corner.
"You better not do anything that's going to embarrass me Ginny," Ron was saying as he noticed Hermione standing there. Ron and Ginny stopped in front of her.. Hermione waited for the blow that was sure to come. Surprisingly, it never did. "Hey, Hermione. What are you doing here?"
Hermione stood there with her eyes wide looking rather guilty. "What do you mean? I'm not doing anything with him. Why would you even think that?"
Ginny and Ron exchanged a confused glance. "Hermione are you feeling ok? Not doing anything with who? There's no one else here," Ginny said. Hermione whirled around to see that the hall was in fact empty. Where the bloody hell did he go? She wondered. "Who are you looking for?"
Hermione suddenly felt stupid as she realized how weird she must sound. "Sorry, guys. I'm a little jumpy today. I haven't finished my transfiguration essay that's due this week and I was on my way to the library when I ran into Malfoy," she lied as they both nodded their heads understanding. "Anyway, he was giving me a hard time when I guess the little prick heard you coming and ran off." She couldn't believe how easily the lies just kept pouring out of her mouth.
"It's a good thing you two showed up. Otherwise I don't know what would've happened." Yeah, like how much longer you would have been snogging?
"Don't worry about him Hermione. Ferret-face is too chicken to do anything serious," Ron said. "But if you want, I can always beat him to a bloody pulp."
"I'm sure you would if you saw what we were really doing," Hermione muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" Ron asked.
"Nothing, I was just saying that that's not necessary," she said as she cursed herself for saying that out loud. "I'm just gonna run along now and finish that essay."
Ron nodded. "Ok, we'll see you later," he said as he started walking. Ginny stood in her spot. "You coming Ginny?"
Ginny stayed looking at Hermione. She could just see the wheels turning in the youngest Weasley's head. "You go on ahead, Ron. I have something to ask Hermione real fast." Hermione suddenly started to panic. She knew that story would pass with Ron, but Ginny was another story. The little wench was just too observant for her own good.
"Alright, I'll catch up with you later then," Ron called back at her as he headed down the hallway.
Hermione looked down at her feet as she waited for Ginny to speak. As soon as Ron was out of earshot Ginny started. "Ok, Hermione I want you to spill the beans right now."
Hermione seemed to find the portraits rather interesting at the moment. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said as she avoided any contact with Ginny's eyes.
"Your lies may work on my dense brother, but they certainly don't work on me so you better spill. Now!" Ginny said sounding exactly like her mother. Hermione was suddenly afraid. "I have to say, the library thing was rather good, but next time if your really going to the library to some work, most people carry around a book bag of some sort with them."
Damn! "Alright, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone what is going on, ok?" Hermione pleaded with her as she grabbed her arm and pulled her to the door of the classroom that everyone was in.
Ginny nodded her head.
Hermione sighed loudly. "Ok." She pulled open the door and let Ginny in. Ginny eyes widened as she saw all the Slytherin's in one room who appeared to be practicing for something. Pansy, who was waiting for Hermione to return saw as they entered and rushed over to them.
"What the hell, Granger? What is she doing here? And what happened out there? You-," Pansy shrieked .
Hermione noticed Ginny start to boil and before Ginny could say anything, Hermione cut Pansy off. "Pansy, you need to calm down," she began and ignored the look of utter shock on Ginny's face for talking to Pansy so calmly and continued, "I'll tell you everything as soon as we explain everything to Ginny." Pansy gave her a look. "Yes, we. She caught me in a lie that I just can't get out of when it come's to her."
Pansy huffed loudly. "Fine, but this is cutting into our practice time so we better hurry."
Pansy led them to the back of the classroom. Hermione followed as Ginny clutched to her arm. "They're not going to bite you know. They're only Slytherin's," she whispered to Ginny.
Ginny swallowed loudly as the Slytherin's stared after them. "I know, I'm just not used to there being so many of them and so little of us," she said still scanning the room. "Is that Blaise Zabini?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, knowing full well that Ginny had a slight crush on Blaise. They reached the back of the room and made sure no one could hear.
"Alright, what exactly did you want to tell her?" Pansy asked Hermione.
"Everything."
"Everything?" Pansy asked incredulously.
"Everything," Hermione repeated.
Pansy sighed. "Alright," she said she turned to Ginny. "You better sit down Weasley. This might take a while." Ginny sat as they proceeded to tell her the whole story. Ginny sat quietly, listening to everything they had to say.
"And so that brings us to now and this would be our second week in practice, which brings us to you Granger to finish the story," Pansy said facing Hermione.
"Me? What do I have to say?" Hermione asked confused. "You just finished it."
Pansy rolled her eyes. "No, I just brought us to today. Right before I opened the door and found Draco on top of you in the hallway."
"WHAT!"Ginny cried.
Hermione blushed slightly. "Oh, that."
"Yeah, that," Pansy said. "I was beginning to worry that you weren't fulfilling your part of the plan, but I guess I was wrong Now, spill."
"Hold on. Back up. You let him on top of you," Ginny said.
Hermione sighed. "If you let me talk I will explain what happened," Ginny sealed her lips right away. "Thank you. Now, no I did not let him on top of me. He fell on me. I was outside waiting for Pansy here to come and talk to me when he suddenly rounded the corner and ran into me, hence his falling on top of me. It's a good thing you didn't come out any sooner or else he would have seen us together and that would not have been good."
Pansy tensed. "You're right. That can't happen. We have to be careful about being seen together. Are you sure he didn't see me open the door?"
Hermione nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure he had other things on his mind at the moment."
They waited for her to continue, but she never did. Pansy and Ginny exchanged a glance, but quickly looked away when they realized what they were doing. "And?" Pansy finally said.
"And what?" Hermione asked trying to avoid the subject.
"And what happened next?" Pansy asked frustrated.
"Nothing," Hermione lied. "We heard Ginny and Ron approaching so we got up and he left."
Ginny shook her head. "No, you're lying again," she said as Pansy nodded her head to agree with her.
"Honestly, Granger. No offense, but you can't lie for shit."
Ginny agreed. "It's true," Hermione glared at her. "Anyway, something did happen because you looked all flustered and thought Malfoy was still there when we turned the corner."
Hermione groaned. "So, that doesn't mean anything."
"What happened Hermione?"
"Nothing!"
"Hermione."
"Granger."
"Alright, alright. Ugh, can't you two just let it go?"
Pansy and Ginny shared another glance. "No," they said in unison.
Hermione put her head down. "He kissed me," she said quietly.
Pansy and Ginny smiled. "He kissed you or you kissed him?" Hermione grunted. "Come on Granger, we have to know everything."
"Fine. Ok, so I kissed back what's the big deal. It wasn't even that long. As soon as we heard someone coming we got up and he fled. No big deal. Its what I'm supposed to do. Seduce him. I'm supposed to kiss back," she rambled.
"Granger, you can calm down. We didn't say anything."
"Fine, ok. Whatever, can you just let it go?"
The two girls listening to the story shared a knowing glance and smirked. "Well, now that there's progress in that department how about making progress in the other department. We need to get back to this practice. We only have two weeks left for the big show and there's still a lot of work to do."
Hermione nodded her head, glad to get off the subject of her and Draco. I mean Malfoy. Me and Malfoy. Ginny walked over to Hermione and smiled as Pansy went over to check on the dancers. "So, you're getting Draco Malfoy back for what he did to Pansy?" Hermione nodded. "Very impressive. I didn't know you had it in you."
"You're not going to tell anyone are you?" Hermione pleaded.
Ginny smiled evilly. "Well, that depends."
"On what?" Hermione asked.
"On you,"
"Me?" Hermione asked confused.
Ginny nodded. "I want to help."
A/N: Finally, another chapter up. I originally planned on making this chapter the night of the talent show, but my brain obviously didn't agree. So, sorry for the delay of the show, but it should be here within the next chapter or two. Sorry about there being so little a Draco, but there will be more of his POV in the next chapter. And I'm really sorry for forgetting to answer some of the questions in my reviews. I think (I mean I didn't really think about it much) that they are in their sixth year with Ginny and Luna being in their fifth. I'm sorry for those of you who don't like Harry and Luna, but I am a Harry and Luna fan so you just have to deal with it, because there will be more Harry and Luna. So if you don't like them I apologize in advance. And also there really isn't much Voldemort and war going to happen in my story so sorry for any of you who are waiting for that. But who knows, maybe there will be in the future. I am so thankful for all that have reviewed my story so far and I'm looking forward to more reviews. I'm not sure when I'm going to update Past Acquaintances but I'll try to get to that one later. This chapter would have been longer, but I have to go to work in a while and I really wanted to get this chapter up as soon as I could. Thanks everyone for waiting patiently and please try not to lose faith in me. Remember suggestions always welcome and keep on reading. Bye.
