Coffee with a side of Amortentia

Chapter 5

Sunlight spilled through the window, illuminating a mop of blonde hair. It moved, as Draco turned over, waking up. He stretched out, yawning. Suddenly he felt the fluffy bed, warm quilt, many pillows behind his head...

He sat up, the blankets spilling off his body, and he looked around. Beside him, was the bed she had set up for him, also made and neat. Draco rubbed his face, and then looked down, slightly confused when he saw that he was wearing only his boxers. He slid his legs out the quilt, and walked into the bathroom, looking at himself.

His hair was quite a mess, and as he looked closer it looked like someone had run their fingers through it numerous times. He rubbed his hand over it, messing it up more.

"What on earth..." He muttered and went through his routine that she had set out for him, with a few written instructions. Draco finished, and turned his head slightly, and froze. Something purple was on his neck. He reached up gingerly, brushing his finger across it.

The thing didn't technically hurt, it was just sensitive. He turned in a circle and saw two more. One under his left ear, and one on his shoulder. He was even more confused. That was where Hermione had been sleeping last night....

He quickly left the room, but thought for a moment, before grabbing a pair of shorts. He pulled them on, and tied them, while putting on some deodorant. He had no clue what this was, why they were sensitive. Where in the name of Merlin they had come from.

He then walked out of the room and found his way back to the kitchen. He found Hermione standing with her back to him, kneeling on the floor. He walked closer and saw her playing with the dogs. She seemed to have bought some form of chew toy. He examined her slightly and smiled.

Hermione was wearing a pair of leggings, which he noted fit very nicely, and a hoodie. He tilted his head.

"I recognize that hoodie." He said out loud. She startled, dropping the toy, and jumping up, and he noticed a faint blush had spread over her cheeks.

"Oh!! You're awake!! I- This hoodie? Oh, yeah, it's yours...It's the one you were wearing in your lab when the explosion happened. I collected it once the fires were out as it wasn't harmed...Uh- You can have it back-" She made to pull it off, but he grabbed onto the hood, pulling it back down.

"Don't worry, Hermione. You can keep it." Draco responded with a small smile, and he then said, "So...Uh, what are these?"

He motioned to the three marks on his neck and shoulder. Her eyes widened, and her hands shot to her mouth, "Oh.... My god...That happened-"

He looked confused, "What actually happened?"

"Draco...Those- those are love-bites...Hickeys...." She mumbled.

Draco tilted, "I don't know what that is..."

She face-palmed, "It means I bit you. I bit you when I kissed your neck!"

His eyes widened, and he slowly touched it, "Then why does it-"

She shook her head, "I don't know, ok? It's a romantic gesture. Here. If we go out today, I have makeup I can put on this one-" Touching the one below his ear, and she pulled her hand back when he twitched, "Sorry, I forgot how extremely sensitive they are..."

Draco sighed, "Alright. I was just confused."

"Uh... You aren't mad?" Hermione asked, tilting her head.

"What reason did you give me to be mad at you?" He asked with a smile.

"I uh..." She looked so confused; it was adorable.

Then Draco did something and he didn't know why. He walked towards her, until she backed into the counter, his hips blocking her in, "Now, it is only fair that you gave me three...So why not let me give you three?"
