Stay By My Side ✅ (Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy)

Sad News

Hermione POV

I was startled to awaken in an unfamiliar room. The black silk sheets were cool against my skin and the sun from outside was a blur in my vision. I purse my lips when I feel an arm tighten around me, I shot my head up, alert. My panic disappeared when I see Draco smile down at me. I remember everything from last night. The slight pain from between my legs reminded me even further.

“You are finally awake,” He says loosening his grip.

“Yeah,” I yawn. “What time is it and how long have you been awake?”

“Not very long, and it’s almost 8 AM” He responds. “And I told you I’d still be here when you wake.”

My smile is shy. “Yes, you did.”

“Did you sleep well?”

“I did,” I tell him honestly. “Probably the best sleep I’ve had in months.”

An arrogant grin plays his lips. “I can probably guess why you slept well.”

My cheeks burn. He just couldn’t help himself, but I felt no anger towards him. I playfully smack him arm and he pulls me in for a kiss straight away. His lips are moist and plump. When we finish he presses his forehead against mine. “I don’t want to leave this bed.”

 “Me too, but I’m really hungry.” I smile. A low growl from my tummy confirmed this.

“Dammit. I was hoping for a quickie before breakfast.” His voice is flirtatious and I couldn’t tell whether he was being serious or not. He breaks out into laughter after I was unsure of what to say; he pecks my cheek and grins. “Another joke, Hermione.”

I roll my eyes. “You are so inappropriate sometimes.”

“You like it though. Admit it.”

I look away. “Maybe.”

I sat myself upright and gasped at the realization that I was still naked. I grabbed the sheets and clutched them against my body. The sight of my embarrassed self highly amused Draco, and he made no secret of that. “I have already seen you naked; I don’t understand why you feel the need to cover yourself.”

I shrugged, clutching onto the sheets tightly as if he were to yank them away any second. “Uh… that was different.”

He turns onto his side, the muscles in his arms flexed which was enough to make any girls mouth water. “How so?”

“Well because I voluntarily allowed you to see me like that. And now that we’re not doing anything… like you know... there’s no reason why you should see me without my clothes.” I glance towards the pile of clothes that lay onto the floor.

He chuckles. “That’s a pretty weak reason.”

“Oh. So I didn’t sound convincing?”

“Nope.”

I say nothing, I only give him a half smile before I wrap the sheets around my whole body and I stand. Draco frowns and I laugh. “I’ll give your sheets back when I am dressed.”

“Funny how you have no problem leaving me here lying naked and you get to cover yourself. Unfair.” He pouts crossing his arms. I laugh at the sight of him and then I lower my head, I have never even slept naked before, let alone with someone else who happened to be naked too.

I hastily exit Draco’s bedroom and I close the door firmly behind me. I make my way into my own bedroom and literally grabbed the first clothes I seen, I was also sure to take my wand before I left. Once I was inside the Bathroom I dropped Draco’s silk sheets. I also lock the door in case he “accidentally” walks in. As I began to pull some fresh underwear up my legs I wince in pain. I knew that after your first time, girls experience pain. It wasn’t anything too intense, which I was thankful for. I pick up my wand and bite my lip. In my mind I was rehearsing a charm which Madam Pomfrey taught girls last year about “being safe after engaging in physical activity”. Once I was confident I remembered it well I point my wand towards the lower part of my stomach and I whisper the spell as clearly as I possibly can. Madam Pomfrey told us that if we felt a sharp stomach cramp for anything between ten to twenty seconds, it means it has worked. This morning after charm basically prevents anything unwanted after sex. I am thankful that I was responsible enough to remember this. I grunt as I begin to feel an almost stabbing pain coming from my stomach, followed by a burning sensation. This was a lot worse than Madam Pomfrey claimed it was. I lean against the wall to balance myself as I mentally counted the length of time it lasted for. I breathe a sigh of relief once it was over. I was dressed in less than a minute and I sigh at my appearance in the mirror. What I saw was far from an attractive sight. My hair was matted and my once perfect eye make-up was now smeared under and over my eyes. I splash some cold water over my face and I begin to scrub all the make-up off with some cotton. After I finished brushing the tangles out of my hair, I was satisfied with my appearance. I grab Draco’s blanket and I leave the bathroom.
