I'm (Not) Yours

(6)

Hermione was in her office when the door opened

She looked up and saw Terry entering

"Oh hello Terry" she smiled

"Hermione" he greeted

He walked up to her desk and leaned on the side of it

"I didn't hear back from you" he said

"Oh gods...it completely wiped my mind" she giggled "Um...t-the...the thing is—"

"Granger I have come to fetch you for lunch"

Hermione mentally face palmed

Perfect timing

"Um...Terry, the thing is—"

"Are you asking my girlfriend out on another date Boot?" Draco drawled

Hermione was going to punch him

She was going to punch home hard

Hermione looked at Terry who had an unreadable expression

"Oh?" He asked "y-y-y-you two are dating now?"

"Yes...we got to talking and--"

"Yes Boot, sorry" Draco smirked

She was going to kill her 'boyfriend'

Hermione sighed and stood up

"Draco and are dating Terry, I'm truly sorry"

Terry left without another word, Hermione turned to her glare to Draco who was looking at his phone

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't throw this at you?" Hermione spat

He looked up from his phone and raised an eyebrow at her

"Because you love me so"

Hermione gripped the paperweight as he smirked

"Come on Granger, tell me if you were actually going to go out with him again?" He asked

Hermione clenched her jaw

"No"

He smirked and walked up to her, he pulled her away from the desk and grabbed her coat, he helped her put it on and placed an arm over her shoulder and walked out with her

"My purse—"

Draco summoned it and continued walking with her

People began to stop and whisper, they pointed at the 'couple' but Draco wouldn't let her stop

"People are looking" she told him

He shrugged and walked her to the Floo network

"Where exactly are you taking me?" She asked.

"Lunch" he shrugged

Hermione groaned as the green flames both of them, once they emerged someplace, Draco led her to a table

"Seriously?"

"Yes, now choose what you're going to eat"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him as she looked through the menu, she picked out what she wanted to eat and then both of them began to debate on something that neither cared to remember

"When do you go back to Romania?" Draco asked

Hermione finished her sip and wiped her mouth

"Um...November" she said "Charlie is going to become head at the Scottish Reserve and I'm going to be acting head of the Romania Reserve until we can find a more permanent solution"

"Why don't you take it?" Draco asked

Hermione shrugged

"My life is here, I'm better off here working the bridge between the ministry and the reserves than being head and only communicating through owls that would probably be eaten by the dragons"

Draco chuckled

"Do you miss it?" Draco asked.

She sighed and nodded slightly

"I do" she murmured "I miss seeing their beauty and the adrenaline, gods the adrenaline...the rush of working with those stubborn dragons, they're beautiful" she smiled softly

When she raised her head, he was looking at her with a weird look that put butterflies in her stomach, she blushed and grabbed her wine glass, drinking the contents in hopes of drowning them

"Easy there" he chuckled and took the glass from her hand, she reached for it and pouted when he put it far from her reach

"Come on Malfoy" she whined "give it back"

"A kiss for a sip"

"W-What?"

"Don't look but there are three photographers and two reporters outside" he told her

"Wait you brought me here for—" she began, a bitter feeling settled in her stomach, she had to force it away and tuck it into a box with a heavy lock on it

"No" he interrupted and took her hand, Hermione tensed slightly and only relaxed when he began to rub her knuckles "I actually brought you here in hopes of them not finding us"

Hermione chewed her lower lip

"So...a kiss for a sip"

Hermione felt her cheeks warming up as she slowly raised up, she leaned over the table, making sure that her blouse was not in her Chicken Parmesan and kissed his forehead, ensuring that her lips trailed his face as she kissed his cheek and then moved across his face and kissed his other cheek

"Granger—"

She took the risk and moved to his lips, she kissed him and he went rigid before kissing her back, his free hand brought his hand up and intertwined his fingers in her hair

Hermione swiped her tongue across his lower lip, asking for entrance, when he denied, she bit down and he groaned, she pushed her tongue in and called his tongue out to play

Hermione felt her chest vibrate and he smirked against her lips

"Told you that you purr" he murmured softly

Hermione didn't have a good comeback to that

She slowly sat down, her legs shaking and her breathing frantic

Hermione saw that his hands were shaking as he handed over her wine glass

"So?" She croaked "do you think that was believable?"

Draco slowly looked up and saw even more photographers

"I think my mother will buy it"

Hermione cleared her throat and finished eating her food

"I should...get going, Charlie sent me some files that I need to fix before handing them in"

Draco paid before she could even pull out her wallet, she protested and he dismissed her

They all made their way out of the restaurant and Draco led her back to the ministry.m

"You ready?" He murmured into her ear, his arm over her shoulders as they stepped through the Floo

"Miss Granger—"

"Mr. Malfoy—"

"How long have you been dating?!"

"Miss Granger do you have a comment—"

Draco managed to lead them through the crowd, they reached her office and closed the door.

"Bloody hell," he groaned with annoyance.

Hermione brushed her hair back and he walked up to her.

"I'm going to head out," he muttered, "I'll see you later."

He kissed her forehead before taking his leave.

Hermione sat down and grabbed her files.

Time to get to work.

But it was bloody difficult when her lips kept tingling from their kiss.
