Summary: hehehe…Lucius in stripes…

Chapter Eight:

Lucius kissed Hermione softly. When he pulled away with a smug look on his face, he looked directly in to her eyes.

"Now, Miss Granger, about these stripes…" he trailed of when he noticed the look of horror on Hemione's face.

Hermione ran from the bench in the trees and all the way out of Hogsmeade. Lucius stared after her. When she was out of view, he snapped back to life.

what the hell?

------------------------------------------------

Hermione didn't stop running until she reached the common room. She looked pointedly at Ginny and went to her dormitory. Ginny entered seconds later, looking concerned.

"He read my diary." Hermione groaned.

"Ugh! Which part?" Ginny was the only person who'd ever read that little purple book and not come away with some serious stripes.

"The part about what happened by the lake"

"Oh. My. God." Ginny said, "What did he say?"

"He didn't really say anything…he kind of…"

"Kind of what?" Ginny demanded.

"Kissed me."

"He did WHAT?" Ginny hissed.

"Don't make me say it again, Gin." Hermione begged.

"Well, what did you do?"

"I ran all the way here."

Ginny broke in to a grin and laughed mischievously. Hermione just looked at her, thinking she'd lost it.

"That means he still has stripes!" Ginny laughed. Hermione grinned, Ginny's laugh was contagious and soon both girls were out of breath.

Damn!

Lucius had just arrived in his room. He took one look at h hands and sat at his desk. He scribbled a letter and tied it to his owl's leg. Then he sat down on the couch and waited.
