Chapter Sixteen Spoiler Alert!!
Here is a special spoiler from our Chapter 16 entitled "Thunder Thunder In The Night":
Hermione had failed to mention to her chivalrous roommate that just being near someone during a thunderstorm helped her tremendously. Granted she still flinched every time it thundered, but that was just an involuntary action on her part.
Hermione was, if not anything else, a logical woman. She knew her fear of thunder and lightning was completely irrational. But just as long as she could repeat her mantra and be near someone that made her feel safe, Hermione could keep herself calm enough to sleep through the night.
In hindsight getting struck by lightning had been the most painful experiences of her life, but it had jump started her magical core and that was something she was eternally grateful for.
Not to mention, it made her feel devilishly naughty to take advantage of this once in a lifetime situation.
Malfoy was trying his best to cater to her needs; he was being the model of a perfect gentleman. He shifted every so often in order to hide his erection and the fact that Hermione had been able to inspire such a reaction from him made her feel incredibly sexy.
Turns out Malfoy hadn't been in the midst of wooing another woman as she had earlier suspected and that alone put her in a playful mood. They had been dancing around each other all week and for once in her life she wanted to do something completely un-Hermione like.
She wanted to seduce him.
