Culture Shock

Chapter 12

Culture Shock

Hermione had told her parents she was exhausted after lunch and wanted to rest for a bit before dinner. So, of course, she was sitting on her bed reading a tome Professor Dumbledore had unexpectedly given her just before she boarded the Hogwarts Express for the return trip home. The book was about dark spells and potions. She was so engrossed in the book, she stopped paying attention to her surroundings.

Draco stayed in his room in silence. He spent the few hours studying Muggle culture from his window. He saw people walking on sidewalks, talking on large black rectangles. Mothers pushed prams that looked very different from wizard prams. Large vehicles that he thought may be called cars, if he remembered correctly from the mandatory Muggle Studies class he had been forced to take last year, passed and parked in front of houses in the neighborhood.

Once he grew bored and overwhelmed with his lack of knowledge, he decided to try and sneak into Hermione's room. Stepping into the hall and walking silently to her room, he saw she was reading, though her face seemed tenser than normal while she read. The sight was so normal for him that he smirked as he closed the door softly when he entered the room.

Hermione was completely unaware that Draco had entered her room. The dark information she'd been reading was frightening, and she was unaware that her face showed her thoughts and feelings.

Draco touched her shoulder and whispered to her "Hey 'Mione?" If he had been paying more attention to her face, he wouldn't have been as surprised at her reaction to his voice.

Hermione screamed but quickly stifled it so her parents didn't come check on her. "Draco, for Merlin's sake, announce yourself when you enter a room and see that I'm reading," she scolded quietly. But her face bloomed into a smile the next second.

"I wanted to see you," he replied as he sat down next to his girlfriend with a chuckle before noticing the book and a glance of the contents before saying, "You shouldn't be reading that, even during the day. It will give you nightmares."

"I realize that now," she nodded, closing the dark book. "Dumbledore wanted me to study up on these spells and potions, just in case. I think he knows more than he's letting on."

"I'm sorry I left lunch earlier. I was overwhelmed. I know I need to get used to the Muggle world, I just felt attacked. Your dad is a bit intimidating when he wants to be," he apologized quietly, snuggling next to her on the bed.

Hermione grinned at her boyfriend, "There is nothing to apologize for. Dad is very protective of me lately. I think it was mum who approved of you coming home with me this summer, and she didn't give him a choice in the matter. And like I said before, I can help you understand anything you need in the Muggle world. It is different, but once you get used to it, it isn't scary."



"I do have a couple of questions," he frowned unsure of where to start.

"What questions have you got?" She asked him.

He sat up and pointed to the telephone that was located on her desk, "what in the world is that? There is one in my room as well, and it made this terrible ringing earlier. Then it stopped."

She giggled and explained, "that's a phone. It's what Muggles use to communicate with each other."

"Couldn't they just use owls," he asked, clearly confused by this technology.

She giggled some more. "Draco, Muggles don't use owls. To them, owls sleep during the day and kill small animals at night to eat. Do you want me to show you how it works?" she waited for his nod of assent and pulled her cell phone off the charging base next to her bed.

"This is a mobile phone, that you can take anywhere except Hogwarts, because Muggle technology doesn't work there," she continued as she dialed her mobile from the house phone and gave Draco her mobile just as it began to ring. "If you push the green button and place the phone to your ear, you can answer it," she instructed with a bright smile."I knew that Muggle technology doesn't work at Hogwarts because it is in Hogwarts, a History," he smirked at her knowingly and inspected the ringing device in his hand. He was incredibly unsure of this technology, but would give it a chance. Maybe it was convenient like she said?She watched him as he looked at the mobile in his hand. When he pushed the button to answer the phone, she couldn't help but control the laughter that exploded out of her, "Hey Draco!" she said brightly into the home phone in her hand. He jumped slightly at the sound of her voice coming from her mouth as well as from the device he held in his hand. "Will you stop fucking laughing at me? I get it, this is convenient. But can we move on and just talk like normal wizards now?" he asked petulantly.She nodded as she hung both phones up and placed them back on their bases to charge, then asked him, "Do you have anymore questions, my love?" She laid down on the bed next to where Draco was sitting."Not really, I just had to see you," he replied as he stretched out beside her."Is that right?" She asked as she moved closer to him, her body warming considerably.He whispered as he leaned into her a bit more, "it is." He didn't want her parents to hear anything that went on in the room tonight. He wished they were of age so they could use magic out of school.Hermione leaned in and kissed him deeply. "I love you," she said in a hushed tone when she pulled away.He smiled softly as he pushed her gently onto her back, before sliding his hand down her stretchy yoga pants. Merlin, he was glad Muggles had invented such stretchy material. His fingers found her clit and flicked his finger over it while his middle finger went inside her dripping slit.A soft gasp escaped her mouth as her hips began grinding against his hand. She grabbed her blanket with her fingers and moaned as his fingers began working her like a musical instrument.He pulled his hand out of her pants and sat back against the headboard, "take off your pants," he huskily ordered while he tugged his off while still sitting.She smiled and blushed as she stood and stripped completely, then boldly straddled his now naked lap with his erection prominently displayed in all its glory. She placed on hand on his chest to balance herself while her other pumped his erection up and down in a slow rhythm.He groaned at her touch and leaned in to kiss her and push his fingers into her soaking slit again, pumping at the same speed she was pumping him. He smirked as he asked her "Do you just want my fingers or maybe a bit more?"She nodded at him. "Fingers and then some," she responded softly as she rocked her hips against his hand smiling down at him, pumping him faster, to coax him to go faster. Her moans were muffled by his lips on hers, tongues dancing in their mouths.He broke the deep kiss and chuckled as he inserted two fingers inside her wet folds before thrusting in and out of her forcefully.Hermione bit her lip to stifle the moans that begged to burst out as she pumped him faster and harder. Her breath came in short ragged pants, and her heart was thinking in her ears. She was so excited yet so anxious all at the same time. "Oh Gods Draco," she whimpered softly to him."Yes?" He asked as he shoved another finger inside her as he could feel his fingers entering deeper inside of her womanhood, her juices splattering on his hand making it easier to enter her.She groaned in pleasure when he flicked her clit with his thumb, almost sending her over the edge. "Please, I, I want you in me," She begged him as quietly as she possibly could."I can't hear you," he murmured into her neck as he kissed his way down to her breast..Hermione moaned loudly at duel sensations pulsing through her. She let go of his shoulder and erection and leaned back on the bed, placing her hand over her mouth to muffle the moans she could no longer control. "Please Draco, " she panted after a moment. "I need to feel you inside me. Please," she begged, looking into his eyes pleadingly."On your knees, my love," He commanded softly.She nodded and rolled over and got on her knees, preparing for him to enter her. She could feel her pussy dripping with anticipation.He shifted so he was right behind her and thrust his full length inside her, waiting a moment for her to adjust and just to enjoy the feel of her hot, wet slit covering him so completely. "Ffff....!" She muffled her words into her bedspread waiting for Draco to move. She turned her face just enough to order softly, "move, Draco, please!" Before he could start moving, they heard a knock on Hermione's door, thankfully no one opened it. Then they heard her father call out, "Hermione, your mother and I have an errand to run. We will be back in an hour. I love you.""Okay Dad! I love you, too." Hermione called as steadily as she could to her father. She looked at Draco from over her shoulder a smile on her face.They waited a moment to hear the front door close, and with the knowledge that they were alone in the house, Draco pulled out and pushed back into her forcefully."Fuck! Gods you feel amazing inside me!" she cried out with a moan.Draco moaned as he thrust back into her as he sped up his pace and grabbed her curling tresses and tugged her up so her back was pressed to his chest as he thrust in and out of her again. He wrapped his arm around her waist and moved his hand to flick her clit. The change in position caused her to tighten around his dick. Hermione was enjoying the change in position as well if the mixture of moans and curses were any indication of her enjoyment. "Harder, faster! Yes, Draco!" Her arms came around and wrapped around his head, anchoring her to him. "Oh Gods!" she cried out as he increased his speed. "I'm so close," she moaned loudly as she tried desperately to move her own hips to match his thrusts."Cum with me," he ordered softly as he wrapped his arms fully around her.Hermione came with a scream. She let go of his head and wrapped her arm around his arms that had both moved to encircle her. She rode the wave of her orgasm enjoying the closeness of her lover as he came inside her with a moan and kissed her shoulder. They both collapsed onto the bed, shifting to lay next to each other as they came down from their mutual high. "I... Love... You..." She panted desperately trying to catch her breath."You don't have to say it all the time," he commented wryly. "What if I want to?" She asked as she looked over at him, and grabbed his hand to hold tightly with her own. The smile on her face was brilliant and beautiful.He nodded and smiled back as he placed his other hand on her cheek. He leaned into her and kissed her deeply, breaking it only to whisper, "I love you too."
