Making contact

Draco stared at the fourth draft of his letter, the previous three having been incinerated (one by fiendfyre), and realised that although he wasn't happy with it it wasn't going to get better whatever he did so he might as well send it. The worst she'd do would be send a howler, or a more creative curse back.

Hermione,

I know I'm the last person you expect to hear from, but in my entire time in Hogwarts there is only one witch I consider my intellectual superior even if she did have the misfortune to choose friends she couldn't even bounce ideas off. In my attempts to reverse engineer various enchanted artifacts and create my own I'm afraid I have run into something I need a second opinion on, but that could lead to a wizarding version of the internet, and even potentially being able to connect the two via a heavily modified protean charm (a spell I am aware you've used).

If you are interested any owl you send will be welcome at Malfoy Manor and I will entirely understand if you want to meet in a neutral place or even on your own territory, and you are welcome to bring a bodyguard although I would request anyone except Ron or George Weasley.

Regards,

Draco Malfoy


It was now or never, so he rolled the note up, attached it to the leg of his owl, and sent it to find Hermione Granger wherever she was.

His words made her blush again. Hermione felt like she was 16 all over again. And really, when you thought about how she spent her late teen years, it is no wonder that never had an experience like this one. It was nice, in a way, to have that teasing.

"Both together." She was not going to argue with him about who was paying for lunch.

"We have yet to take a look at your work." Hermione stands, drink in one hand, linking her arm with Draco's with her free hand. "I am sure you will see some of those 'insufferable know-it-all' traits that you just loved, during our school years."

"The Sorting Hat took its time deciding between placing me in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor." Hermione smiles in response. Sometimes she wonders if he would have been nicer to her, if she had been sorted in Ravenclaw.

"Nachos. With the works." Hermione responds with a smile. "Thank you."
mudblood_andproud: (you are in my thoughts)

"Sure. I will take a butterbeer." Hermione smiled softly.

She frowned slightly at his reflective tone. And reached over to touch his hand lightly. "That toxic influence had its effect on a lot of good people. Making them do unfortunate things."

"But think about it Draco, if you didn't constantly challenge me, I would have not pressed so hard to do what others thought was impossible." She would have never been mentally challenged by Harry or Ron.

"In a way, you made me a better witch." Better savor those words for the moment, for she just might not repeat herself.

When he changes the subject, Hermione removes her hand from his to take the runic device that he held out. She examined it closely as he explained it's purpose. Then looked at him, with slight interest. "And when you do?"

She glanced at him for a moment. Then back at the complicated looking device. Here she was... sitting with Draco Malfoy, and he was talking about watching a Muggle TV show. And was about to eat Muggle food. If it wasn't for the fact that she knew how intelligent and creative Draco was... and that he could have fashioned the device in her hands, she would be having some serious doubts about who she was sitting with.

"Next thing you are going to tell me is that you are dating a Muggle." She chuckles.

"Why Draco... are you into erotic spells?" Hermione brightens her smile. His assumption about Ron was pretty close to the truth. Except for the part where the two of them never made it to a sexual relationship. They had shared a passionate kiss in the heat of the moment... and when the heat was gone, Hermione knew very quickly that a romantic relationship between her and Ron was not something she wanted to pursue.

But luckily for her, her lack of a dating life didn't seem to be worthy enough for the Prophet to be broadcasting to the entire Wizard community.

"You have a very good start on this project. I should recommend some better programs for you..." Hermione smiled.

When he mentions the use of polyjuice, Hermione wonders briefly if he uses the potion to become someone else, or to get his partner to become someone else.

She waits for the meals to be set down, and Maria to disappear, before she answers his question. "Why is it such a surprise to everyone that I have a healthy, sexual curiosity and interest?"

"They seem to forget that while I am studious, I can also be very passionate."

Hermione has to laugh softly. Draco either must have no idea how sexy he looked, when he did that eyebrow trick. Or he does... and is just using it to prove a point.

"You are more than welcome to make me blush anytime." Hermione picks up her butterbeer. Taking a sip, letting the foam decorate her lips for a moment.

"If we are being honest here, I only have been with one wizard who was daring enough to explore my curiosities and passions. And who knew a few 'fun' spells, himself."

Hermione blushed again. And she felt warm at his words.

"I am sort of like your little project here, Draco. You have to push the right buttons to find out the answers to your questions."

Her whole body felt a little flushed to be flirting with him.

"I have confidence in your privacy screen."

That wasn't the point. Hermione tilts her head slightly. "Will it be a fair exchange of curiosities, Draco? Will you be willing to tell me something you desire, for each desire I might tell you?"
mudblood_andproud: (mischief in her eyes)

[personal profile] mudblood_andproud 2017-07-24 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have never imagined myself playing truth and dare with Draco Malfoy." Hermione laughed, to calm her nerves slightly. She couldn't read him, as good as he seemed to read her. And felt sort of a little foolish.

"And yes. I do trust you Draco."

She remembers how pale and upset his eyes had been, when she had been tortured at the Malfoy Manor by his now deceased aunt. She knows that he had been trapped in a worse situation that she had been.

Hermione had been trained in Occlumency that if she had felt threatened, that she could block the gently push easily.

But she lets him into her thoughts. Her mind. And the fantasy that comes to mind first is one that she had while at Hogwarts. One that still keeps her up at night, wondering 'what if'.

The images in her mind start with a familiar scene. Him and her arguing over a library book, that she had checked out, and that he had wanted. And the sensation of how heated the argument was had fueled Hermione's desires in an unexpected way.

The fantasy moves to change from reality, to what she had desired. A sudden movement of Draco pushing her up against the wall. Kissing her with heated want and desire. Running his hand up her thigh, underneath her skirt. One hand keeping her hands up above her head, as he sucked at her neck.
