Secrets

A Time to Celebrate

My heart throbbed in my chest as I looked at the floor to see Draco Malfoy writhing in his sleep. He shook violently and his head banged against his bed. "Blasted fucking bed" he muttered as he stood up, rubbing his head. 

I closed my eyes and opened them just a touch so I could see him. He ruffled his hair and stopped when he saw me. His eyes softened and he leaned over me. He kissed the top of my head and smiled at my "sleeping" form. I jumped awake and smirked at him. his cheeks flushed bright red and he mumbled a few lame excuses before shaking his head and leaving. I giggled softly. 

I pulled on one of his green Slytherin sweaters and paused slightly looking under his bed. Along with a deep green box there was a small teddy bear. It had a little indent in its side making it quite clear that Malfoy had cuddled a teddy bear last night. I burst into peals of laughter as he walked out of the shower stopping short when I saw him. 

My breath hitched as I took in his glistening torso. His baggy black sweatpants were hanging much to low on his hips and I could see his hipbones poking out. His blond hair was unruly and sticking up in all directions as he shook his head. I didn't even flinch as the spray of water hit me. He walked closer to me and I blinked uncertainly as his strong cologne invaded my senses making it much too difficult to think. He sat down on the edge of his bed which I didn't notice I'd sat down on and looked at me. "Granger" he asked uncertainly. 

"Fuck it" I muttered and grabbed his face in my hands. I paused slightly, inches away from his lips. We'd only kissed once before (not counting the Great Hall) and I didn't want us to get awkward. He smirked and closed the distance between our lips crashing into me with a sudden wave of passion that knocked me onto his bed. He pushed his tongue between my lips and I happily complied, our tongues intertwining in a merry dance. I moaned against his mouth and wrapped my lags around his hips and those damn low hanging pants. We rolled over and I straddled him breaking the kiss to take a breath. He stared up at me and I saw the uncertainty in his eyes, the worry, the care. I closed my eyes once again and crushed my lips against him as he tightened his hold on my waist. Damnit his hair was so soft and silky under my fingers. He pulled me closer to him and I blushed when I realized the reaction I'd gotten out of him. I paused for a second before moving slowly on top of him, recalling that day and our giggle pile. 

"Draco I-" Zabini barged into Malfoy's room and we jumped apart. He let out a low whistle but entered nonetheless.  "Welp. I hate to interrupt but Theo says She-Weasel - he calls her Ginny now" he gave an incredulous look. "Zabini" Malfoy growled. "Right" he continued. "She wants Granger. You two are getting ready for the party together or something". 

I smacked my forehead and adjusted the sweater. "Shit. I forgot that the party's today". 

Zabini walked over to the doorway to leave but he paused and turned around. "You still have time for a quickie" he winked and left as I tossed a pillow at him. 

I turned to Malfoy only to see him smirking. Eyes on his face. Eyes on his face. I told myself sternly, struggling not to let my eyes drop down too low. He could sense this and his smirk deepened. "He's right you know" he dodged the pillow I threw at him. 

"Arsehole" I muttered. 

"Shithead" he growled, getting up from the bed. 

"Ferret-face" I shot back, stepping closer. 

"Know-it-all" he countered, coming closer. 

"Arrogant-damn sexy beast" I whispered crushing my lips against his once more. 

I trailed my fingers slowly and seductively along his pant line earning a deep animalistic growl. I stepped back and smirked through my heated face. "Tease" he growled again. 

I winked at him and waved goodbye to Zabini, Theo, and Parkinson who were all staring at me. I shrugged and left their common room self conscious to all the stares I was getting. I entered the Gryffindor common room and everyone stopped short to stare at me. I smoothed down my hair coolly and stepped into Ginny's room. She turned around holding our costumes and stopped, dropping them along with her jaw. "What the actual fuck Hermione. Why are you wearing a Slytherin sweater? Why aren't you wearing pants? Why is your hair all messy? AND WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SO RED?" she screamed. 

I gasped and looked down. "Shit. Now everyone's gonna think Malfoy and I shagged or something" I roared. 

"Did you?" Ginny squealed. 

I turned around. "The fuck! No of course not!" I yelled back. "We were just - sleeping. And he was on the floor anyways" I pointed out quickly. 

Her face drooped in disappointment and I flushed. "Come on Gin we've only even kissed twice" I blurted quickly realizing my mistake. 

She gave a little shout of excitement and sat on her bed. "Details" she sang. 

I frowned and picked up my costume. "No. I have to get ready anyways, I'm going with him" I reminded her quietly and I knew she could sense my nerves. 

She wrapped a friendly arm around me and steered me to her couch. "Think on the bright side. Your costume is fucking sexy so you might end up shagging him for real tonight" she said in a tone that did not match the statement in the slightest. 

I pushed her away and giggled. "Like hell Ginny" I stuck my tongue out at her. 

I pulled on the dress and we spent two hours giggling in the mirror and doing up our hair when a loud knock resounded through her dorm. We both squealed in anticipation, neither of us knew what our dates were coming as. I pulled open the door to see the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. Ginny's mouth dropped open as she took in her date's appearance.  

Theo was dressed up as Peter Pan. He wore green tights and a green shirt. He had a little brown belt around his waist which he tucked his wand into and he wore the biggest frown I've ever seen. Ginny couldn't comprehend the fact that he was dressed up in fucking tights. My breath hitched when Malfoy rounded the corner and Theo's frown deepened. "We fought for the costumes and Draco won" he whined. 

Malfoy was dressed as the most dashing version of Captain Hook by far. He wore a white dress shirt and jeans underneath (not sticking to the costume), the top few buttons were undone and the shirt was only half tucked in. He had also decided to change the red coat to a green one so the only reason I could tell it was Hook was because of the hook and Theo. "Close your mouth Granger, you'll catch flies" he drawled, winking. 

I smirked and allowed him to take my arm. "You two look so good and I get fucking Peter" Ginny complained loudly as we walked through the halls. "Harry should've worn this the-boy-who-lived now becoming the-boy-in-tights" she continued, opening her mouth to continue her rant when we all realized something. "Shit" she exclaimed at the same time as Theo cried "Dumbly". 

Malfoy and I looked at each other. "My lady?"

I nodded. "We'll go, don't want anyone to miss out on seeing Theo's costume" I grinned. 

Theo scowled but was led off my an excited Ginny who had a new mission. I smiled slightly at Malfoy, nervous to be around him after our kiss. He smirked and backed me into the hall pressing his body against mine. I shivered in anticipation. "Been wanting to do this for a while" he whispered before crashing his lips down on mine.
