Chapter 6: Bonding

Hermione x Draco

Chapter 6

I don't own anything

(Hermione's POV)

I woke up early that morning and found that Draco was gone. Despite the fight that we had yesterday I still want to attend his Quidditch match. I got up and took a quick shower in our shared bathroom and dried my hair. I got dressed quickly and went down stairs and saw Draco was waiting on me. I glared at him because I was still angry for how he treated me and deserved an apology before I agreed to be anywhere near him.

"Hermione can we talk?" He asked.

"Now you want to talk." I huffed.

"Yes I do. Harry helped me understand that my behavior was uncalled for and helped me understand you a little better." Draco said.

"Really, you had a second civil conversation Harry Potter?" I asked.

"After talking with Harry I realized that you won't be happy if I just force you to do whatever I want you to do." Draco replied.

"I don't mean to sound rude to you Draco, or ungrateful, I am just confused by everything that is going on. There is so much that I wanted to do when I graduated and now I am being told that I will never get to that." I cried.

"Hermione I will promise you this, if it is within my power I will make sure that you have what you want and not what I want. I will even go so far as to make sure that you are aloud to work." Draco said and he pulled me into his arms.

"Do you really mean it?" I asked.

"You know that I do. I am going to try and be better toward you and stop being less of a jerk." Draco replied.

He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine and I melted into his kiss. When we kissed like this there was nothing else in the world but the two of together and happy. I wrapped my arms around his neck and both of his hands cupped my face and he deepened the kiss and his fingers tangled in my hair. He pulled away briefly to catch some air, but he pulled me right back into another kiss and we fell back on the couch and continued to kiss and his hands began to wander, and then he pulled away suddenly.

"I am really sorry, I don't know what came over me." Draco said, and I could see a light blush on his cheeks. He had not completely pulled away, but was just hovering over me on the couch.

"It's fine Draco really. It's not like we had sex or anything." I said with a laugh.

"You don't know how bad I wanted to be with just then." Draco said in a husky voice and leaned and kissed me again.

I pulled him closer to me once again. It was a good thing that it was a Saturday and neither of us had any classes to attend, but if this continued neither of us would be able to stop. I pulled from Draco and buried my head in his shoulder and he did the same to mine. I could feel him breathing heavily in my ear, but that didn't bother me. I knew that he was thinking the same thing that I was, we needed to pull apart.

"Do you have Quidditich practice today?" I asked.

"Yes I do, and I am probably going to be late now." He replied.

"Well do you mind if I join you?" I asked.

"You really want to join me for my practice?" He asked.

"Yes I do, because it is something that you like doing and anything that you like doing I like." I replied.

"You can join me if you want, but I can't promise that you won't get bored." Draco said with a laugh.

"Do we have time to grab some breakfast or is it to late for that?" I asked.
