Chapter 11 - Hermione's POV

As I looked at the floor, I heard him get off the bed and pause. Suddenly I heard him walk over to me determined. When he reached where I was, he grabbed my face.

"Fuck it!" he said before kissing me. I felt electricity spark where our lips met. I had never been kissed this way. It felt like my entire body was on fire but it didn't hurt. I felt myself stepping closer to him. He moved one hand down my face, over my shoulder and arm before it settled on my waist. I felt his other hand tangle itself in my hair gently.

I wrapped an arm around his neck and placed the other one on the arm that had it's hand in my hair. My skin started to spark at every point of contact we had. Somehow, he pulled me even closer to him. I didn't know how much closer I could get to him but I wanted to be as close as I could be. I moved my hand from his arm, to his shoulder and down to his chest. I could feel the muscles tensing when I moved my hand over them.

Just like that, the kiss was over and he was running away into his room and slamming the door. I stood by my door in shock and ran my fingers over my lips. Had I imagined that spark? What did it mean? I had so many questions and the only person who could answer them, had just run away from me.

The rest of the week passed by uneventfully. Malfoy avoided me at all cost, even going as far as excusing himself from the patrols and leaving me with one of the prefects. By the time Friday morning had arrived I was convinced I had hallucinated everything from the moment McGonagall had told us we would be Head Boy and Girl.

When Friday afternoon rolled up, I was in a sour ass mood. I was pissed he had ran away from me and had been avoiding me. When I got to Potions class I saw our table empty and sighed. Maybe I had imagined him. I got through class and as soon as were dismissed I walked back to the dorm room.

When I arrived at my door, Blaise Zabini was leaning against it. I squared my shoulders, "Zabini. What can I do for you?" I asked tensely.

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "I'm just here to deliver this letter. He'll be back soon though."

He handed me an envelope and walked away before I could say anything else. I walked into the common room and sat on the sofa so I could read whatever was in the envelope. I pulled the letter out.
It read:

Granger,

I know I ran away after our kiss on Monday night. Trust me when I say that wasn't my intention. I had to leave to work on something but I promise I'll be back from the Ministry by Saturday morning. I'm sorry I left without explanation. I'll explain when I get back.

-Draco

P.S. I'm tired of calling you Granger. I'm going to start calling you Hermione. I expect the same from you.

I stared at the note over and over trying to understand. What was he doing at the Ministry that was so urgent he had to run away from me after kissing me? I hoped he'd really be back in the morning. I had grown to slightly miss him but I was still angry.

I looked at the time and decided to take a long bath and then go to sleep. Hopefully everything would make sense tomorrow.
