Love after marriage - dramione

One step fowards two steps back

Draco PoV:
The sun streaming through the curtains hitting my face was what woke me  up. I turned over to face Granger but there was only empty space, where had she gone.
I got up with a grunt pulling on my school uniform, god I hate school can't I just get a job and be done with education. I know if Granger could hear my thoughts right now she would lecture me how learning is SO important. Merlin where actually is she?
I walked into the common room area to see everyone getting ready and Weasley was making eggs for everyone, damn I thought he could only ever eat not cook.
(Authors note: guys sorry for hating on Ron a bit just thought that's what Draco would think 🥲)
I looked around sitting next to Blaise but still the short brunette wasn't in sight.
"What you thinking about?" Pansy asked me, sitting down with Potter and Ginny on the sofa opposite as she leaned back.
"Lessons," the lie came naturally I mean after all the years I've had of practice it becomes second nature. Before getting my bag and leaving with Blaise I passed Ginny and asked discreetly. "Where's Granger?"
I could feel Blaise radiating with joy next to me as heard the words coming out my mouth but he knew not to interrupt the ginger. "She's tutoring in the library."
"Who?" The words slipped out before I could process them.
"Cormac, seems he was VERY keen to be tutored by her, if you know what I mean." She grinned at her nails avoiding my eyes and Blaise's face now over my shoulder.
I walked out with Blaise at my side "So trip to the library first, eh Draco?"
Was I stupid to go to the library, let her tutor who she likes, get a few kisses out of it if she wants. I don't even like her and who cares if she's my wife to be. I answered Blaise when we got closer to the library "No"

Hermione PoV:
I watched at the clock as Cormac just talked and talked and guess what? TALKED.
I mean I was making easy money here basically being a therapist without the advice part and my client is attracted to me but apart from that yeah.
It was finally time to go to lessons and that's when Cormac got up and came closer to me. Nope not today plus I could smell his too strong cologne and it was making me sick.
He was about to reach for my hand as I got up and quickly said bye before rushing out.
I seriously need to advertise myself more, not with just HIM. Ugh the thoughts of Cormac make me literally shudder with disgust.
I rushed to potions which we had with Slytherin and in all honesty kinda looking forward to it, especially because I wanted to ask Pansy and Ginny how their relationship were going.
I got in and was assigned to my marriage partner for obvious reasons, we had all been partner up with our marriage partners so we bond, but I swear it doesn't take long to get sick of him. I mean my patience  is a lot better today because of last night but still let me tell you when I sat down and the first thing I heard from him was.
"So you trying to get Cormac or something I mean why else would you be tutoring HIM?" What the hell. I mean was he jealous because I mean in books it's cute in real life RIGHT NOW in this situation, hell no.
"No im trying to make some money." I turned away but in all honesty I knew he would carry on questioning me.
"I offered you money a million times so think of another excuse." I looked at his face the frown, the way his eyes glimmered with anger, Merlin my face probably looks the same.
"No because I want to work for my own money so stop being nosy and stay out of my business." This time when I was about to look away.
He muttered "So we're going to stick with that excuse, ok fine." My head snapped towards him with rage, did he not have  coffee in the morning or something .
"Look are you jealous or something because like last night was us being human not nice or anything," the chatter of the class still drained us out to our classmates but it wouldn't be any longer if I would slap him and believe me I really wanted to. "So yeah I'm not appreciating you wanting to be protective of me now, ok? I'm not going to want to just only hang out with you and for you to kiss me because we have an arranged marriage! "
He got up from us seat packing up, everyone was now watching us I muttered to him as the final blow "Go be romantic with someone else I don't care."

Draco PoV:
I walked away towards the library sitting in the corner where I just sat and thought and waited. She was right in what she said but I did feel anger or was it a taste for revenge. Ugh my head hurts, maybe I do want her to kiss me but god it was for entertainment the way she'll perish of want. I want her to kiss me and then die with the desire for another one.
It was now free period and I waited for her to go through those doors and she did. I watched her as she sat down on the table before spotting me and making her way over.
Her hair was tied back in a sort of half up half down but little curls still came out in the front. She began to speak "look Malfoy I'm sorry for overreacting we had a nice night yesterday so yeah we should try to make it wor-" I pulled her behind a bookshelf where no one could see us.
I wrapped one arm around her waist and one behind her head pulling her lips onto mine. They paused before melting into mine. She grasped onto my shirt before I bit her lip causing her to whimper before I slid my tongue inside. Her hands climbed up into my hair and my torso, her movements could have been mistaken for desperate. She deepened the kiss more whimpering before I broke it, short but making one want more.
Her face was pink and her lips bruised. "That was- " I puller her closer whispering into her ear.
"That was  the only ever kiss you're getting from me Granger, because I'm going to let you suffer in desire while I watch and enjoy." Even I could hear the smirk in my voice.
The hurt in her eyes were obvious "you're evil." She gave me a scowl.
"Am I though? Like you said I shouldn't just kiss you because of an arranged marriage." I walked away letting her stand there. I resisted the urge to turn around and see the expression on her face but I didn't. I still thought about the kiss it was really good but maybe in another lifetime I'll get to experience it once more, maybe when we're not so one step forward two step backwards.
