Prologue: Well it is the seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Hermione, Harry, and Ron have all mostly grown up, well physically speaking. Hermione has the same know-it-all personality, but has gotten an improved look. Harry and Ron both have grown very tall and handsome over the summer, they both have helped clean rooms in the Order that no one can seem to reach. It is now the middle of the year at Hogwarts and most students are excited about the holiday festivities.
Chapter 1. Impulse
"Jeez, What time is it!" I thought to myself. I looked around my dormitory, everyone was sound asleep. I glanced at my watch, it was 3 o'clock. "Well I could get those essays done Professor Binns assigned. Yeah, I'll go do that."
Pulling on my jacket I walked downstairs to the common room. It was warm, but the fire was slowly dieing. I stopped. A lone figure sat in one of the armchairs, smiling slightly.
"Hello Granger, I was hoping you'd come down here." said Draco coolly.
"Malfoy, What in the hell are you doing in here –" I couldn't say anymore because in an instant he walked over to me, grabbing my waist and pulling me closer to his warm body. He drew his head closer to mine, placing his soft lips on mine. It was pure heaven, but it was so wrong. I pushed him away, a look of confusion spreading across my face...
"Hermione, Hey Wake up!" said a pounding voice in my ear. I opened my eyes to find Ginny peering over me. "Don't you want to help me with my essays, you little ray of sunshine?"
"Getoffme!" I mumbled as I pushed her away, she left the room mumbling something about 'late sleepers' and being unhelpful.
I yawned, "That dream, why do I keep having it?" It was the same dream I've had for the past month, and frankly I was getting annoyed by not being able to finish it. I got up from bed, not being able to fall back asleep, and walked down to the common room; Thinking that I should really be doing those essays.
"Hey 'Mione, Come here!" Harry looked slightly lopsided, as his glasses were thrown on his face in a hurry to get last minute homework done. "What year was Norgal the Frothed added to the Roundtable?"
"Yeah and what'd Gribble the Magnificent do for the Wizard community?" Ron asked wearily.
I laughed, "We're would these to be without me?" They both looked very pathetic sitting there; papers scattered across the desk and random ink spills splattered on scrolls. "Harry its Nigel the Freed and he was added to the List of Sorcerer's in 1785, and Ron, Gribble the Magnificent created the time turner so forces could go back in time to fix critical errors. I've told you that at least ten times!"
"Oh." They grunted, going back to their essays.
"Okay well I'll talk to you later?" I asked, getting slightly annoyed.
Ron waved me away, "Yeah okay, Hey what year did –"
But I had climbed out of the door, into the crowd of people heading for breakfast. Upon entering the Great Hall I spotted Malfoy looking at me, his grey eyes just staring. He finally released his gaze and turned to one of his Slytherin friends when he realized I was watching him too.I shook my head and headed for a spot at the Gryffindor table. Filling my plate full of breakfast, I soon got into a heated discussion with Lavender about the unimportance of Divinations.
Later that evening I went to the library to finally finish my essays. Madam Prince had asked me to keep an eye for her while she went to get some tea, so I sat in silence reading over my notes and watching a group of third year Ravenclaws whispering excitedly over a paper.
"Did you hear? Harry Potter is dating Looney Lovegood!" A foul looking girl giggled.
"They would make a good couple wouldn't they?" Another girl replied. I grinned. The media always had some new story on Harry's love life that was totally untrue, though I didn't have the heart to tell the girls that.
Soon after, they picked up their things and left the library. "Finally!" I returned to my notes and finished my essay within ten minutes. Feeling in the mood for a book, I picked up my stuff and set it on a nearby desk.
"Hello mudblood." An icy voice said behind me, as I was looking at books.
"Oh, Hello Malfoy." I said without even looking up from the book shelves.
"Why aren't you with Potty and Weasel? They are your friends right?"
"Oh yes, but unlike your cronies, my friends can venture away from me. See I don't need their protection; I could hex you into the next century if I wanted. Which is something I don't think your friends are capable of achieving."
"Watch it Granger." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me around, pinning me to the desk. I hadn't noticed how much he had changed over the summer. His body was much more in shape, and I couldn't get free from his grasp. "I could easily take you, with or with out a wand. Don't even think I haven't noticed you've changed, but your still a filthy mudblood so I don't think I will. "
"You're despicable." I spat, trying to break his grasp. "And you're breaking my arm."
He loosened his grip, but did not let go. Instead he pulled me closer to his body. I could see his eyes get softer and most un-Draco like, then it happened. He brought his face closer to me and pressed his lips on mine. It was the best feeling in the world. I closed my eyes and kissed back. He wrapped his hands around my waist, and I wrapped mine around his neck.
We stood there for only a brief amount of time, because only when I dropped my book on my toe did I realize what I had just done. I had just kissed my worst enemy! The guy I had hated since the first day I arrived at Hogwarts seven years ago.
"Malfoy, Why in the hell did you do that!" I asked thunderstruck, backing away as though he was some dreadful disease.
"I – I don't know." He whispered, unsure of what he had just done.
Hey! Thanks for reading, It's my first ever Fic! I'm hoping to get more chapters in by the middle of the week! Please R & R….:)
