Reunited [ dramione ]

thirteen

Draco lay on Hermione's couch and looked at her clock that sat above her sink it read 7.59 am.

He looked up at the ceiling, waiting for Hermione to wake up so that he could get up without waking her. He was excited for the day ahead because he'd be working with Hermione on the elf case again, they couldn't work out who the culprit was no matter how hard they tried.

Finally he heard the creaking of floor boards and looked up to see Hermione exit her bedroom in her work clothes, perfectly ready for work.

"Is it okay if I shower?" Draco asked, sticking up his arm to smell himself and then pulled a disgusted face "I smell like old socks"

Hermione laughed and checkses her watch "Okay but make it quick, we have to be at work in less than an hour."

Draco nodded "Yes, mother" then cracked her a smile and picked up the towel that she neatly folded up and left on the table for him.

Draco unfolded the towel and gave Hermione an amused look "Is this a quidditch towel?"

Hermione sighed "Ronald.. threw out all of my towels and replaced them with these ridiculous ones and I haven't had the time to replace them."

Draco raised his eyebrows "Wearing your ex boyfriends towels, that sounds healthy."

Hermione shook her head "I know you're right but I'm so busy nowadays especially with this case!" She let out another exasperated sigh and looked through her pile of washing in search of another towel.

Draco lightly shook his head "It's okay I'll just use this one."

Hermione shrugged "Okay if you're sure."

Draco nodded and headed into her bathroom, whistling a foreign tune as he went. Hermione smiled and watched him walk away, she tried to convince herself she just had a silly crush on him and was not intact falling in love with him but every day it was getting harder to deny. Nevertheless Hermione was determined, she would not be hurt again.

Hermione took a seat on the sofa and picked up her book, waiting for Draco to emerge from the shower.

She flicked open the first page and smiled a little as she heard the water switch on, this was the one person who could distract her from her books and it annoyed the hell out of her. She tried to get Draco out of her mind but the more she tried the harder it was.

Moments after Hermione picked up her book, Hermione's muggle doorbell rang.

She placed her book down and unlocked the door suspiciously.

She pulled it open to reveal the last person she would want to see, the brother of her best friend and the man who had broken her heart twice. The man whom she hoped she would never have to see again and yet here he was on her doorstep in a pair of jeans and a quidditch tshirt. Ron looked surprisingly calm which just infuriated Hermione further.

She stood in a numb state of shock "Ronald?"

Ron nodded sheepishly "Hey."

Hermione suddenly become overcome by a wave of anger, her face flushed with fury.

"Ronald Weasley, how dare you show up here. Ohhh the nerve you have is incomparable even to Harry. Although Harry is a decent man so he would never be in this situation in the first place! What on earth is your reason for being here?" She demanded in utter rage.

Ron stood in awe with his eyebrows raised "Bloody hell, calm down woman." he said quietly.

Hermione's mouth opened as though she were to respond but no words came out of her mouth, she couldn't think of any that would convey just how angry she was. Instead she raised her fist up, pulling it back and aiming it square on at Ron's face. Actions speak better than words she thought to herself.

Hermione's fist was just about to come in contact with Ron's face when a pair of arms came from behind her, grabbing her hand and gently lowering it to the ground.

Hermione could feel Draco's hot breath against against her soft neck and was instantly more relaxed.

It was Ron's turn to be enraged "What the hell is he doing here? In that?" Ron asked with his voice getting louder with each word, pointing at the towel wrapped around Draco's waist.

Hermione spun around and noticed Draco's bare chest, her face going a deep red at the beautiful sight in front of her.

"That's my towel, ferret" Ron spat at Draco, lunging towards him.

Hermione jumped in front of the blonde protectively and glared at Ron "Leave. Now." Hermione said, her voice had gone scarily quiet, so much so that Ron did almost a double take.

Ron opened his mouth and then shut it, his face so red it matched his hair. He slowly turned around and walked away. Hermione slammed the door and let out an infuriated scream.

Draco pulled her close into a hug "He's gone now" he said in a voice that sounded so soothing, Hermione un-tensed and allowed herself to be held by Draco, taking in the sweet smell of his body lotion. She looked up at him to find him gazing intently at her, his eyes were so different to when she first met him. He leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips, it was delicate but not as innocent as their previous kisses. Hermione pressed her lips against his a little harder, her anger channelled into the kiss as Draco slipped his tongue in between Hermione's soft lips. Draco fought against Hermione for dominance as they both pressed their bodies and lips together. Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and Hermione followed suit by wrapping hers around his damp neck. She kissed him passionately, finally giving in and allowing him to lead the kiss. Draco explored every inch of her mouth, taking in the still fresh taste of mint toothpaste which he remembered to be one of her favourite smells and as of now it was one of his too. Draco pressed his damp body against Hermione's as they both craved more, there arms held tight around the other's but Draco was using everything in him not to move his to explore Hermione's innocent body. Reluctantly the two pulled apart, gasping for air. With their arms still wrapped around eachother, Hermione lay her head on Draco's shoulder and allowed herself to be rocked slowly by Draco as though that would rock away the anger from this morning.
