Draco x Hermione

I don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter 7

(Hermione's POV)

After the argument with Draco last night I went up to our room and laid on the bed. I couldn't stop crying either, and I knew that Draco would sleep in the other room to avoid me. It's been a week since the training had started and Draco had not let up any, he was convinced that I was not ready to meet his family, but my family and his family were going to be here tomorrow. I was ready for this meeting to be over and for everything to go smoothly. I knew that his mother was nice person and that we would get along easily.

"Hermione, are you ready to go eat breakfast?" Draco asked.

"Yes, I am Draco." I replied as politely as I could

"Just do us both a favor and try not to humiliate me ok." Draco said.

"You keep acting like I am an idiot with no manners." I huffed.

"Well you behave like you don't have in at times." Draco snorted

"Excuse me, I will have you know my adoptive parents raised to me have manners and act like a proper lady, I am not an animal." I yelled.

"I never said that you were an animal." Draco laughed.

"But you implied it." I said.

"I never implied it, but I did say that you were lacking in pureblood manners." Draco said.

"As long as I have manners that's all that really matters." I said.

"That is true, but remember when addressing my parents address them as lord and lady Malfoy." He said.

"You know your mother will not want me to be so formal right away because she will want me be friendlier." I said.

"Just do what I asked. If she happens to ask you to address her by her first name, then go ahead." Draco said.

"Whatever I am really not in the mood to argue with you." I said.

"I am not trying to argue with you, I am just saying that you need to remember your manners." Draco said.

"Pressure isn't the way to get me to listen to you. I don't want to be treated like a doll that can be controlled." I huffed.

"Let's go get some breakfast and visit with my parents." Draco said and linked his arm with me.

"What about classes?" I asked.

"Did you forget that it was the weekend and that we had plans. My parents will be here right after we eat, so we better hurry." I said.

"Will my parents be joining us?" I asked.

"Yes, they will be joining us, so please try not to act like you did last night." Draco said.

"Again, with this. I can act like a lady if I wanted to." I said.

"Look your parents will break the bond if the see that you can't behave when you with me. I like you and the last thing I want is to see you paired off with Blaise and I end up with his fiancé Pansy." Draco said.

"I understand that, just please be nicer to me." I said.

"I will do my best, but please remember that your mother and father will be watching you carefully." Draco said.

"Thank you." I said.

I turned my head and looked up at Draco and smiled, and he gave me a small smile. He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine and time seemed to stop. I couldn't focus on the task at hand, I could only feel Draco's lips against mine again. He released my arm, but pulled me flush against his chest and continued to kiss me. I tried to pull away knowing that we needed to eat and return here. We had to get ready for his parent's arrival, but Draco had other plans. He pushed me against the wall and deepened the kiss. Draco finally pulled away to catch his breathe.
