Also for the writing club.1 Write about Draco Malfoy
Draco came into the room to find one angry girlfriend and a room full of clothes splattered on the floor. It looked like an uragan had been through.
He analysed the situation pretty quickly. Hermione had only looked so angry only three times in all the time he had known her and every time her anger had been directed at him, his fault or not. So he had to do something quick, otherwise his bed at St. Mungo's will be once again occupied.
"H.."
"Darling, do you remember sometime ago when I asked you to come home early on a Wednesday, this Wednesday to be exact, and you promised me that you would, that you will come home early and that you will be on time."
Draco palled. He had completely forgotten about it. He knew what Hermione was going to say even before she said it. He knew her too well.
"So,what do you have to say in your defence Mr. Malfoy?" She asked a sly smile on her face. That's when he knew he was saved. She wasn't really mad, she was pretending to be. But if he didn' a good reason...Fortunately he had.
Draco smiled, surely he would be forgiven.
"I had to pass by a shop to. buy something. It was really important. I am so sorry that I was late. Perhaps if I can make up to you somehow..." He said looking at her closely to see her reaction."
Hermione looked at her boyfriend carefully before smirking
"Maybe, but you can't reverse time to make it un-late." she answered in a business tone.
He sighed. She wasn't going to make this easy for him. When she was like this...She wanted something. That was sure. But what? He didn't have a clue and that was something new. He had learned long ago to read Hermione. She had been his girlfriend for a few years now and his best friend even longer. So it was a natural thing for both of them to know what the other was thinking or how the other felt based on their little things. And even if he had his own bed at St. Mungo's he loved her like crazy. For the first time they had met they had clicked together. Andshe had adapted to their group pretty quickly. His friends had been happy to have another friend, especially the girls. They had taken the Hogwarts Express for this sole reason-making new friends. And because professor Riddle had forbidden them to come at school with his godparents or his uncle Remus. He had said that all first years should be on the train and that they should try and make some new friends. And he couldn't be more grateful that he had gone with the train to school. He wasn't sure if they would have become best friends otherwise. Surely she would have been his friend but her best friends would be him,Harry,Ron,Neville,Daphne, Susan and Hannah. No, her best friends would have been Mandy,Lisa,Anthony and Terry. He shuddered at the thought. The two boys had had an interest in his girlfriend before she had made clear that she most certainly was not interested.
It was only by chance that he had met her before them. Hermione had quickly become their friend and they had kept thefriendship even if they had been sorted into different house."Honorary founders" uncle Regulus had named them. And he was right. Him and Harry in Slytherin, Ron and Neville in Gryffindor, Susan and Hannah in Hufflepuff and Daphne in Ravenclaw. They had been the whole set; two from each house.
"Earth to Draco!" Hermione shouted waving her hand in front of his face, thus bringing him back from the memory lane.
"So,which one do you prefer? This one or that one?"
Draco didn't have the slightest idea about what Hermione was asking. His opinion about what? His first thought was that she was asking about some dresses, but her hands were empty. He looked st the floor. Surely she didn't expect him to choose something from the things on the floor? Everything looked the same in his opinion. So he said the only thing that came into his mind.
"Yes." And hoped that she will not question him any further.
"So you say 'yes' to this one right?"
"Yes" he said again, not really knowing with whathe was agreeing with. Usually he would have figured out by now, but he was too nervous at the moment. And if she didn't stop the questions...
"So...we are marrying this week." She stated smirking at his waffled expression.
How did she know? How could she know? He had been so careful...
"How? How did you know that I was going to propose today?" he asked, still in shock.
"I didn't,"she smiled at him," but you forgot one thing. I had been your best friend longer than I had been your girlfriend and there are some years. I figured the instant I saw you this morning. I knew you were going to be late that's why I've called Tom and Lily and told them that we were going to be late for the meeting. You cannot hide from me.I saw how nervous you looked upon waking up and how early you woke up. You never wake up this early. Then you kept throwing me glances like when you had first asked me to a date or when you had asked me to be your girlfriend or when you..."
"Alright,alright! Stop it! I understand where you are going with this." He said. He knew too well what was next, when he had asked her opinion on babies. He would never forget that day. It had been so embarrassing.
But this still didn't explain the disaster on the floor, especially since Hermione wasn't one for fancy most certainly she wasn't one to make such a mess searching for something to dress up.
"No, I am not," she said to his surprise. Had he spoken aloud again?
"Yes,"she smiled at him,"see that's another sign: thinking aloud. You do this when you have something important to announce."she chuckled.
"Why are you so surprised? Did you forget for how long have we known each other?"
"No," shouted Draco,"I was thinking about the same thing." he said looking in her eyes.
She laughed, startling him;although this was a natural reaction for her now.
"And you didn't think I could, that I would figure out, did you?" she asked him with a smile.
He looked down. He hadn't thought about that.
"So, where is it?"
"Where is what?"asked Draco. What she was asking?
Hermione sighed. Even intelligent people had stupid moments and Draco was having one just then.
"My ring! Or did you forget to buy it?"she asked smirking as the realization downed to him.
"Yes,I mean no, I mean here's the ring." he said and bending down on one knee
"Hermione,I loved you from the moment I had met you on the Hogwarts Express eight years ago and you had become our best friend, my best friend. Then when you had accepted in our forth year to go on a date with me and later when you had accepted to be my girlfriend, you had made me the happiest boy alive. Now please make me the happiest man alive and accept to be my wife. I promise I will cherish and love you until death do us apart."he finished putting the diamond ring on her finger.
Hermione had tears in her eyes,she didn't expect such a beautiful speech. She launched at him kissing him forcefully on the lips.
Draco wrapped his arms around her and returned the kiss with as much force as her.
When they finally pulled apart because of the lack of air, her lips were swollen and her neck spotted some love bites.
"I love you Draco,"she murmured against his neck,"of course I'll marry you. I cannot wait to be Mrs. Malfoy"
He kissed her again and took her in his arms, sitting on the bed.
Hermione pulled apart
"Draco, stop! You forgot again why I had asked you to come home early, didn't you?" She asked, adjusting her clothes.
He looked sheepish at her
"Nooo,I did not. But why don't you remind me, let's see if I remember correctly." He said.
Hermione shook her head. He will never change.
But she didn't want him to anyway. She had fallen in love with him just the way he was.
"Tom and Lily had finalized the Project. And since we both worked at it we need to be there for the last tests. They are waiting on us." She said. Even now years later it felt weird to call professor Riddle and Mrs. Potter by their first names, but she have been told that if she didn't do so she will not be allowed access to the project. And that couldn't happen.
Draco sat up immediately upon hearing this, straightening his shirt. The Project was ready?
"Now, I got your attention, I see."she chuckled looking at him.
"Yes, why didn't you tell me sooner?" He asked glaring at her.
She didn't stop laughing.
"We were busy, don't you remember?" she asked with a smirk.
He blushed.
"Oh,well, let's go then. What are you waiting?"
Hermione looked at him surprised. He wasn't going to mention the clothes on the floor anymore? Not that she complained really, but he was bound to ask some time later and she rather preferred now.
"Hermione?" Ah! There it was! The question. She assure of it.
"I will ask about the clothes, later." He stated looking at her.
She smiled and took his hand in hers; she knew him so well.
