22. The Dinner

"Draco Malfoy! Get your arse off the couch right now!", Hermione yelled as she hurriedly dusted off the decorative items on the coffee table.

Draco was sleeping on the couch, it had become a habit of his to sleep right outside her door.

He mumbled in his sleep and Hermione sighed. She went over to him and brushed the hair that were falling on his forehead. Draco grabbed her hand and tucked it under his chin. Hermione squeaked.

"Are you awake?", she asked and checked his eyes for any sign of movement in them.

Draco muttered something again and turned over and fell off the couch.

Hermione burst out laughing but her laughter soon died down when even she was pulled down. She expected to land on the ground, but instead she landed on something very......human.

She opened her eyes and found herself staring into the most beautiful grey eyes. Draco was staring at her sleepily but ever so intensely. Hermione felt the heat rising up her cheeks as she propped herself up on her elbows on top of his chest to increase the distance between them.

Draco smirked. Hermione rolled her eyes. " You're half asleep and you're smirking ? Really, Draco?", she scoffed and was about to get up when Draco wrapped his arms around her.

" Why are you so jumpy today?", he asked, his voice husky. His chest vibrated which caused Hermione to blush even more.

" Because if you're forgetting, we have an engagement party at our place.", she said with a roll of her eyes.

Draco smirked again and Hermione realised what she had said.

Engagement party at their place.

"Now let me up.", she said as if ordering him.

" I'm not even holding you anymore. ", and there was that smirk again.

Hermione pulled his cheeks and stuck out her tongue at him before getting up.

" Mature, Granger. ", he mocked.

"Jokes aside Draco. Help me, please?", she almost pouted.

Draco put his hands on her shoulders and sighed.
" I've already arranged everything. A few men will be here at 2 pm and they'll do everything. Please don't stress yourself out.", he almost pleaded.

" Thank goodness. Finally that brain of yours came to use.", she teased with a smile.

Draco laughed and walked towards the bathroom. Hermione shook her head to get his laughter out of it.

******

"Hermione! Come out already! Everything's done and you're still playing dress up.", he knocked at her door.

"Just a minute.", came her muffled reply.

The door opened and Draco gasped and gulped. Thankfully she didn't notice as she was trying to reach back and....do something.

" Need a hand?", Draco asked politely as his senses started working again.

" Uh yes that would be nice. The zipper is stuck.", she whined like a child.

Draco laughed and turned her around. And immediately wished he hadn't. Hadn't asked to help. Hadn't turned her around. Because right in front of him was the view of her naked back.

" Draco.", her voice snapped him back to reality.

He cleared his throat. " What do I have to do again?", he asked  uncertainly

Hermione snorted. "Just stare at my back all day. That's all"

" Hey! I wasn't staring. I just....ugh.  fine!"
