The air felt electric, every nerve ending in her body turned to molten heat, it spread throughout her limbs at a rapid pace to match her heartbeat. The thuds as her heart pumped blood through her body were so loud she imagined Malfoy could hear them, as close as he was, gazing down at her with his eyes half closed. Their noses skimmed, his skin was soft when she raised a hand to loop it through the hair on the back of his neck. The soulbond inside her took over, it tugged him closer untill their lips brushed, strawberry champagne poignant in the air they both breathed. Her heartbeats quickened to an undeniably fast pace, thrumming away like a hummingbird in her chest, eager to break free. They stayed there, barely connected for what felt like an eternity. Hermione wanted to close the distance but she had already pulled him this close, she wanted the decision to be his so when he made it, there would be no confusion whether he wanted her or not.
