They sat down for dinner and to Draco’s surprise Hermione had set the table and it was actually quite nice considering they had very limited resources.
“This looks nice”
Draco replied as he for a moment looked at the lobsters and then over to Hermione.
Hermione smiled as she went to sit and was surprised when Draco pushed her chair in for her.
Draco then went to his own seat and he noticed she wasn’t eating the lobster but slowly eating some of the salad instead.“You don’t care for Lobster?”
He asked as he broke open his and began picking the meat out with his fingers. He knew that normally he’d have insisted the Lobsters already be shelled and on his plate.
“I don’t eat lobster or crab or anything with a face on it.”
Hermione told him this as she looked at her salad a moment and picked out a tomato and began to eat it. They had no forks or silverware so had to make do with their fingers. “Why? It’s good and what do you mean you don’t eat anything with a face?”
Draco asked this and gave her a weird look. He for a moment wondered if she had somehow found poison and was making him eat it. But then he knew despite all their years of disliking eachother, Hermione Granger would never poison anyone. “I’m a vegetarian. I only eat vegetables and fruits mostly. Raisins and trail mix but nothing that was alive and has feelings.”
She told him as she for a moment took another bite of her salad and then lifted one of the two metal mugs and drank some of the water.“Well that’s not healthy is it? I mean what are you going to do when all we have is fish or food like this?”
He asked her and as the lips left his mouth he wondered why he even cared. “I don’t know maybe in time I will have to eat those other things but for right now I can’t.. “
Draco decided to let her do what she wanted after all it was her body and he didn’t make any further comments on the matter.
They ate relatively in silence after that and Draco was finishing the last piece of Lobster when Shadow had come over to beg. Draco shook his head at the dog and then as he was pushing the pup back the piece of lobster flew out of his hand and under Hermione’s chair.
In that moment Shadow dove under the chair and Hermione in her surprise felt herself about to fall . A strong arm caught her and she opened her eyes to look at him. Their noses were touching as he had grabbed her and she was sitting on his lap now.
Hermione was still slightly trembling and she blushed red as she realized that not only was she sitting on Draco Malfoy’s lap, her skirt had ridden up her thighs a bit and she was pretty much straddling him.
For a moment neither of them moved a muscle and just looked at each other. Draco’s hand was on the small of her back trying to keep her from falling and his other arm was wrapped around her waist. Draco again realized her eyes were not all brown but golden brown with light flecks of green in them. “Are you alright Hermione?”
He asked in that moment as he saw her blush and for a moment he couldn’t help it he thought she looked pretty. “I’m fine. Draco”
She replied as she looked down between them and then up at him slowly. It was almost the same reaction he had when he had kissed her on the train and their bodies were pressed together so intimately.
For a moment Draco was speechless as he watched her and when she moved to rise off of him, he didn’t know what possessed him but his arm went back around her waist and he kissed her soundly.
Slowly he released her and just looked at her. Both sets of eyes in that moment locked with one another and in seconds both were kissing each other furiously. Draco stood and walked carrying her and they both fell on the bed.
Draco stopped kissing her and he lay on the bed next to her. Both were panting and for a moment neither moved. He found himself utterly aroused and groaned softly. Hermione began to feel shame in that moment and she turned away from him and felt the tears sting her eyes.“Why are you crying Granger? I don’t kiss that badly!”
Draco retorted as he sat up on the bed and looked away from her. For a moment he was silent then he replied.“Do you know how easy it would be to just take you right now? To just give into whatever the hell possesses me to want you in my bed? We’re not friends and we’re not lovers and we’re not in love. We’re stranded in the middle of Merlin knows where alone, there is no Potter or Weaselbee to save you from the big bad Slytherin is there?”
As he said this he was a little bit angry with himself and her reactions to his touch. True normally he’d be already seducing her and making her his but this was Granger, this was taboo. This was forbidden and yet a part of him wanted to give into it. “No you don’t kiss badly Draco. I’m just confused to why I'm feeling like this.You don’t like me and I am not sure how I feel about you other than maybe friendship at this point. As for Harry and Ron I doubt seriously they are even looking for me. “
As she said this it surprised Draco and he turned and looked at her. He found himself scooping her into his arms and holding her. He didn’t know why he did it but he was caressing her hair and trying to comfort her. “I’m sure they are looking for you. I mean why not after all they are your best friends? Also the School is looking for us as the Head Boy and Girl have gone missing right?”
Draco said these things both for her benefit and his own as he truly wondered if anyone was looking for him. Draco knew his parents didn’t care anymore and that no one else cared either. “I’m sure people are looking for us. We just have to sit tight and wait a bit. I mean look at it this way at least we’re stuck with each other and not someone we both cannot stand right?
We can at least be civil to each other and sooner or later we’ll be found. Besides it could be a lot worse, we could be stuck with Pansy Parkinson and have to hear her moan and groan and complain all the time. She really does get on my bloody nerves a great deal.”
Draco found himself admitting this as he for a moment forgot he was mad at the situation and spoke honestly about it. “Personally I wish you would have thrown her out the window. Whatever she said to you really got you brassed off.”
Hermione found herself smiling a moment despite the fact she knew she would never throw anyone out the window, but the image of Pansy flying out the train window and landing in a pile of cow or horse dung amused her that she couldn’t help but begin to giggle. “Why are you laughing Hermione? Care to share the joke with me?”
Draco asked this amused by her laughter as well as curious and confused as to why she would be laughing. So Hermione told him her thoughts as well as what she had said to her. For a moment Draco did nothing but stare at her then he found himself chuckling and cracking an honest smile and relaxing. “I’m glad I’m stuck with you and not Pansy because like I said your useful and smart and… well attractive and she would be stupid and cry the whole time which I can’t stand.”
As Draco admitted this he for a moment just lit up a cigarette and then took a drag and handed it to her.
Hermione took a drag off and handed it back and for a moment just closed her eyes to relax.“Why would you even want to you know. Do it with me Draco?”
As she asked this she opened her eyes and looked at the wall of the hut and everywhere but at him.“I guess because it’s crazy and not what we should be doing and... well because I.. I don’t know exactly how to say it but I think your pretty and it wouldn’t be such a bad thing if we did do it. We’re not in love and we’re friends okay so it’s not like it would do much to complicate matters if we did try and have a little fun while we’re stuck here right? Besides I know you want to do it with me too and what is your reasoning for that huh Hermione?”
Draco reasoned and waited for her to slap him as he figured he had said what he wanted badly. She however to his surprise just seemed to be in thought and reasoning his words in her mind. He figured she’d deny wanting him back and when she didn’t he for a moment was a bit more confident.“I’m afraid to die a virgin.”
These words came out softly as she for a moment brought her knees up to her chest and looked over at him. Draco almost didn’t hear the confession as it was said very low but with the silence of the room it was clear as a bell.“Who said we were going to die here Hermione? Buck up you’re a brave Gryffindor aren’t you? “
As Draco said this he caressed her back with his hand a moment as if trying to offer her some comfort. Hermione for a moment stiffened at the touch then relaxed and she pressed her lips together as she was in deep thought.“Gryffindor or not I am still a woman and I always imagined losing my virginity to the man I would marry. On my wedding night to..”
Hermione stopped speaking her thoughts aloud at that moment. For a moment in her mind she saw a faceless man and then his image was replaced with Draco. Draco in a tuxedo and she in a wedding gown with flowers in her hair. “So you’re more afraid of losing your virginity to me than dying here is that it?”
As Draco asked this Hermione shook her head and got up and began to pace a little bit. Draco groaned as he knew she was trying to make sense of everything and also to rationalize or make things logical.
There was no logic in his mind but for them to shag and have a good time and give eachother what the other needed. “Will you be gentle with me Draco?”
Again she spoke but in a tone that belayed shyness, Draco looked up at her in that moment and saw she was wringing her hands and the end of the tie to her dress.“I’ll make it good for you, give you pleasure more than you’ve ever had or experienced.”
Draco replied as he stood up and walked over towards her. Hermione for a moment dropped her head down and she laid it a moment on his chest. Draco just relaxed as they stood there like that both unmoving for a minute or two.“Yes I’ll be gentle at first or I will try to be Hermione. I’ve never had a virgin lover before but I have been told it hurts the first time a woman has intercourse and she bleeds a bit.”“Yes my Mother told me that too Draco. Why is this so awkward? I mean people do this all the time right? Have sex? “
As Hermione asked this she for a moment just looked down at his belly button and for a moment she just told herself it was absurd to be staring at his navel. Though he had a nice chest she had to admit to herself.“It doesn’t have to be right now or tonight. When you’re ready I’ll do it for you. I may not be the man you want to marry but atleast I'll be gentle and careful as I'm a bit experienced with women.”
Draco then found himself kissing the top of her head and leaving the room and going outside to stand by a palm tree and look out at the setting sun.
Hermione's eyes followed him out the door and she for a moment sat there slightly shaking then got up and went to the door and watched him a moment. In the silohuette of the setting sun he looked like a greek god in Hermione's oppinion. For a moment she just watched him looking off towards the ocean, his profile and stance,the way his hair glowed in the sunlight.
Hermione approached the spot slowly and quietly and as she did she tried to figure out what to say now to him.
