You're My Nirvana

the box was filled with beautifully detailed sketches of Hogwarts students and as she looked through the pile she found that there were an abundance of of her, Ron and Harry all doing their schoolwork, watching Quidditch or just sitting outside. she smiled to herself and didn't hear draco ask if he could come in and she didn't hear him ask what she was doing, and when she did notice he was sitting beside her, his face in his hands.

"malfoy, these are beautiful! did you do them?" he nodded and lifted his face up, "why aren't you concerned that i have drawings of you and 'the golden trio'?" he raised his hands and made quotation marks in the air.

she rolled her eyes and took his hand pulling him to stand up and when he did, he looked down and a small smile spread across his face, "i really didn't think you would want to touch me granger?" she snorted and let go of his hand and when she did he grabbed hers back, and when she looked at him, her eyebrows squished together and he simply said, "your really warm..." and as he said that she noticed that his hand was like ice. "and yours is like ice, why are your hands so cold?"

he shrugged and motioned to the door, "what were you going to show me, again?" she thought for a sec and then her face lit up, "right i was going to take you to the other room, its full of paint!" he smiled and she led him to the small little room, "this is where your going to do all of your drawings and im going to try and get you into painting!" as she started ranting off he looked around and noiticed that she was watching him.

"what?"

" you just look so calm.."

he snorted but couldn't think of anything to say to her, "so i need to get dressed. by the way you look good in sweatpants!" she smirked at him before sliding out of the room. a few minutes later she came back and was in a hoodie and leggings. she walked down stairs and saw draco reading on one of the chairs, and she walked up to him, pushed the book down and twirled, "taddaaa!" he smiled at her and she smiled back before saying, "so its almost noon, i'll make some sandwiches and then we can go!" draco nodded and stood up, "i'm going to grab a couple things, be right back."

he ran up the stairs and a few minutes later hermione called up, "hey! i'm going to go without you if you don't get your arse down here!" and he shouted back down, "i'm coming!" and muttered something that sounded something like, "jeez woman." and a second later he came down the stairs with one of hermiones backpacks, "i found this and i thought that it would hold what i needed, so were using it." she nodded and walked towards him and he held his hands in front of his face.

"what are you doing?" she pulled his hands away from his face, seeing that his eyes were squeezed shut and that his face was scrunched and he looked scared, "whats wrong?" he opened his eyes and noticed that hermione was holding his hands in hers, "oh, oh! sorry i just thought you were going to punch me again, that really hurt last time you know?" she sniffed haughtily and let go off his hands, making them fall to his sides.

"c'mon you idiot, we have to get to the lake before Luna and Zabini get there so i can read." he rolled his eyes and grabbed her bag off the ground, "where are those sandwiches you made, i need to put them in the bag. also grab anything that you think you might need." hermione ran upstairs without another word and back down within a matter of seconds, "i have my book!" she siad proudly holding it out so that he could put it into the bag. once they made sure they had everything they left the dorm.

walking through the hall at the mercy of the stares and looks that sixth years and down threw at them made them feel small and the pair moved closer together, not realizing it until their hands touch and draco jerked his hand away, causing hermione to look up at him with unreadable eyes and looked back down. after a few more stares and pointing they got to the lake and hermione smiled and sat down, "do you have a blanket?" draco sat beside her and set the bag down, "i believe i grabbed one, but if i didn't i think that you dainty little butt could sit on the ground, yes?"

hermione rolled her eyes and draco pulled out a blanket from the bag, "here you go!" and passed it to her. "thank you.." hermione layed out the blanket and as soon as it had settled draco layed his entire body across the it and smirked at her, "malfoy get off the blanket,or im going to sit on you!" draco rolled his eyes just urging her on, "i'm soo very sure that you will, granger.." he drawled, and before he could realized what she was going to do she was sitting on his chest he book open with a discreet little smile on her face, "i told you i would sit on you and i always keep my promises."

she lifted her head and acted regal, and draco snorted at her but layed his head back and closed his eyes and a couple minutes later she asked, "am i not heavy, or like, i don't know, making this awkward?" he shook his head and responded without opening his eyes, "your not as heavy as you think at im not uncomfortable." he ended the conversation quickly and a while later he heard one of the voices he was most familiar with and without remembering that hermione was on his chest he pushed himself up, knocking over hermione in the act.

a muffled, "argh" came from beside him and he stood up casting a quick glance at hermione to make sure she was okay, "blaise! mate!" blaise strode forwards and embraced draco in a meaningful embrace, "its been to long!"

hermione by that time had stood up and was behind draco, "it's only been two days, for gods sake!" blaise looked down at hermione and smiled, "and you! your the one he going to marry! i got your letter!" he pulled his arms away from draco and tried to shake her hand in which she reciprocate. "i always knew that you were going to get with her drake' he looked to draco pointing his finger at him"

hermione made a little noise and and draco looked towards her, blaise looking next, "so wheres Luna?" blaise made a noise and moved aside, revealing a small, pale girl smiling sweetly at hermione, "why hello hermione.. how are you?" she said in her usual misty-ish voice, making hermione smile.

"I've been doing very good, Luna, how have you been?" she shrugged and said, "very good, I've been seeing a lot of nargles around lately though, i wonder why...?" draco looked to hermione and then back to blaise and the both of them just shrugged, not knowing what they could tell him. hermione touched his arm and whispered, "don't worry that just her." his eyes widened and he nodded.

"well why don't we sit down?" hermione suggested sitting down and patting the blanket. as blaise sat down he started to tease draco, "so i saw her sitting on you?" he waggled his eyebrows at draco, "what was that all about?" draco hit him and spoke under his breath to him, "Mate, i really like her. so please stop." he looked him in the eyes and blaise understood almost immediately, "of course.." he turned back to the two girls who were looking at them with puzzled expressions, actually it was only hermione with the puzzled expression, Luna was just smiling dreamily.

"what are you guys talking about? hermione asked and draco glared at blaise before answering, "nothing just-yeah nothing." blaise soon found a subject that they all wanted to talk about and for almost the rest of the day the four of them talked. it was up until the sky started to darken that hermione had to say that they should all head back to the castle. once the two pairs split ways hermione pounced her questions on draco not knowing that he had been preparing what to say.

"so what were you talking about with blaise when we first sat down?"

"Nothing At All" he tried to end the conversation but she kept going.

"oh-" "oh is right." "i thought there was more going on, so why don't you tell me before i drive you insane, hmm?"

in Dracos attempt to shut her up he put his arm around her and pulled her closer, but she just slipped out of his grasp, "nope. nope.nope, we are NOT close enough to do that. alright? good." by that time they were at the door and hermione told the password to the centaur and they stepped into their unbelievably clean home, and set the bag down, when draco asked, "can i sleep in the bedroom tonight?" hermione sighed and nodded making a smile spread across his face, "if you trying to do, you know, do IT with me, it's not happening and your going to be sleeping on the couch from now on."

not wanting to argue with this flaming personality, he and she walked upstairs together.
