Problems

Coming back into the house Draco sighed thinking about the new revelation Luna had just told him. Hermione was going to be devastated, as sad as that made him he understood why that was going to happen. How could he cheat on her though, who in the world would be a better match than her? He just could not understand Ron's logic. Just then he heard an owl hoot, it was perched on one of the wooden chairs near the open window. He glared at the ugly bird, he knew who the owner and was upset that they sent word for him. Pansy. He reached the bird in three long strides, and took the letter wrapped around its feet. He shooed the bird away and with a squawk it flew off in the direction it came from.

Draco grumbled to himself as he opened the letter and read the contents:

'My Dearest Love,
I have sent this letter because I have yet to see you. It feels long since we last met and you ravaged my body. I request your presence tonight, I yearn for your touch. We also have the cake tasting appointment later this month. No backsies Draykie-poo, I know you hate all this but just think, the two of us will be wed soon and you will have me all to yourself for the rest of our lives. I want to be with you, no one pleases me like you can. I plan to make you the happiest man alive. I only wish you would respond once in a while my love. I will meet you at your bed no later than 11pm, make sure you bring all that pent up anger my lion.
Xoxo,
Your Beloved.'

Draco felt his heart shred to pieces, he completely forgot all the details of his impending marriage to that god awful slut. How was he supposed to explain all this to Hermione? He felt his shoulders tense, what was he going to do? Hermione was what he wanted, but he had to make an excuse for now at least for tonight. "Zabini!" He called out. In a matter of seconds Blaise had appeared next to him. "You rang your majesty," he said with sarcasm dripping off the last word.

"Look." Draco handed him the letter and watched as the bloke next to him read it, his face growing paler with each line. "Fuck, what are you going to do Dray?" He asked as he handed him back the letter. "I dunno, the one I love is upstairs and the one I am supposed to marry is going to be at my house in a while." Sighing his shoulders slumped forward. "Bloody hell, why does this shit have to happen now! Damn Lucious, damn him! If only.." Draco stopped his vision was blurry, it was only then that he noticed he was crying. "Mate, I don't know how you're going to do it, but if Hermione is what you want then, you have to shake Pansy off." Blaise put his hand on Draco's shoulder. "Maybe you should talk with Cissy?" Draco sniffled, "And say what exactly? Mother, I love Hermione Granger and need you to pull the plug on the wedding because I can't continue to live a lie? Oh yeah and by the way can you also handle the back lash of the Parkinson's while you're at it?" He raised his hands. "This is what my father set up, he purposefully made this happen to fuck us over. You know well that Pansy will not back off nor will her father. I can't put that on my mother." He felt his blood drain from his face.

Suddenly both men heard someone clear their throats, "I told you, don't give up on them, and this is how you act? Pathetic, honestly, both of you." Luna looked tired. "Must I resolve all your problems in one night?" She came and sat in between both men. "It is that simple Draco. Narcissa will not let you get married to that god awful bitch, and I wont either. Stop looking so far into the future, it is a well known fact that most betrothals do not go as planned. We can figure out what to do after you talk with your mother, as for Pansy's father, we will deal with it later." Draco smiled at the witch and nodded, "I wish it was that simple Luna." She stared at him eyes begging him, "I'll talk with my mother, but no promises, I'll just have to figure everything out as I go." Blaise looked at Luna and then his best mate. "You guys are really my family and I'll protect you from anything, Luna is right it is that simple. We just make it more complex than needed. You need to go speak with Cissy and then lose Pansy and come back straight away, we will keep an eye on Hermione." Blaise nodded to his friend.

Draco took one look towards the stairs, "thanks mate, but I should let her know, I'll be back later." He looked at them both and walked off to look for Hermione. Upstairs he heard laughter coming from Rowena's bedroom and smiled, turning to another room he knocked and got no reply. Thinking better he used a detection spell, "Homenum Revelio." She was in the third room where the master bath tub had been placed for Rowena. He smiled and walked towards the door, knocking he called, "Hermione?" At first he didn't hear anything then came a quiet but startled, "Come in," he cautiously opened the door. "I'm coming in." Opening and walking in he shut the door behind him, steam filled the room and his gaze was down as he approached the tub, clearing his throat he slowly looked up. She was sitting in a mass of bubbles, he hair was frizzy like when they were kids and her face now fully unmasked looked puffy around the jaw area and bruised. He masked his emotions, staring at the woman he was in love with while she was naked and in the water was slightly erotic but he couldn't think about that now.

"Sorry to interrupt, I just came to tell you that I have to go back to the manor to handle something and will be back as soon as I can." He raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck. Hermione looked beautiful despite her bruises, "Oh. I see." Worry etched on her features. "Don't look like that." He knelt near the tub and reached to touch her face, "I will be back tonight." She flinched at the sudden contact but didn't move when he put his hand on her cheek. He skin was smooth and warm. "Do you have to go?" She quietly asked. He sighed, "I'm afraid so, but you can stay in my room and wait for me if you'd like?" She nodded and looked around before asking, "Could you turn around?" Confusion registered on his face as he looked at her, "I don't want to get up and have you stare at me while I'm climbing out naked, so..." She blushed. Draco felt his eyes travel to the bubbles hiding her body underneath the water, the tops of her breasts barely visible he lingered there a moment and back to her face which was even brighter and finally turned.

"You could have had me wait outside." He heard the water slosh around as she stood and heard her feet hit the tile, water trickling around her, "It's okay this will only take a second." Came her low voice. Draco could only imagine what she looked like, her body slick and wet from the water with suds still lingering on her smooth skin. The way her nipples would perk up from the sudden coldness in the air, her curves completely exposed. He wondered what she would feel like pressed against his skin the was she was now. He felt his body react to his thoughts and tried to readjust his now growing member without alerting the witch behind him. Hearing fabric rustle as she changed, he  felt a soft touch on his backside, startled shivers erupted from him as he turned to face the witch, she was looking down which he noticed put her in perfect view of his member. He shifted uncomfortably trying to make his bulge as unnoticeable as possible. She looked up quickly face red, and walked towards the door. 'Great she must have noticed.' He walked behind her quietly mortified and caught up to her, "My room is the last one at the end of the hall opposite the stairs." She nodded not saying anything, as he followed closely behind her, he appreciated her body in the snug pajamas she must have conjured. Her ass looked great in the shorts she was wearing, nice and plump he wanted to reach out and squeeze them.

Suddenly she came to an abrupt stop and he barreled into her pressing her up against the door on accident his erection pressing against her back just above her ass, "Oh!" Came a startled noise from Hermione, Draco was so embarrassed he reached for the door and they tumbled to the floor. If she didn't notice his woody in the bathroom she definitely felt him just moments ago. "Hermione, I—I'm sorry. I was so close to you I didn't realize.." He trailed off not looking at the witch. "Do I make you like that?" He couldn't believe the question, "I'm sorry?" It came out as a whisper. "Nothing, never mind, forget I mentioned anything." Clearly embarrassed she had even asked she looked away from Draco. He reached for her, and gripped her hand forcing her to look at him, "Yes." Hermione blushed and nodded. "This is your room?" She looked away from him and pulled her hand away. Changing the subject was smart he thought.

"Uh—yeah. This is it, nothing special just a room I use to sleep in, amongst other things." She looked at me and stood up slowly not leaving my eyes she asked quietly, "Oh yeah? What kind of things?" Her breathy question sparked something inside me, something that was dangerous. The Slytherin in me wanted to jump her then and there and show her what kind of activities I imagined doing in here with her. "I could show you, if you want.." I challenged, my blood rushed and I saw the look of curiosity cross her face. Her lips slowly parted and her eyes slit sexily as she pointed looked at my bulge, she quietly breathed the next question, "You promise?" My whole body reacted to her voice and I knew then that we were about to step into a whole new world together. Oh man what did I just get myself into?
