falling up (гет)

Draco found himself waiting for Hermione to pull away.
Any second now she’d do it. She’d go still in his arms, then tug back from him, looking shaken or even alarmed, and she’d say, what are we doing, or maybe what am I doing, and he’d be forced to consider the questions himself. And then she’d spiral into descriptions of the short-term and long-term consequences, probably structured like an argumentative essay which, written down, would have filled three feet of parchment.
Minutes passed, though, and she didn’t go still.
