"Stop it Draco, just stop it!" Hermione stomped forward poking him hard in the chest. "Why do you always hurt me?" her voice had lowered to almost a whisper.
Draco stepped forward wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "Hermione just let me-."
"No!" she snapped jerking away from him. "We can't keep doing this, I gave you a chance, I gave you a million chances, and you blew it. Every time I listen to what you have to say and believe you, all it does is backfire in the end."
Draco took one of her hands running his thumb over her palm "Please Hermione."
She swallowed hard and shook her head. Stepping back slowly she held his gaze, while allowing her hand to slid from his. "I'm sorry, but I can't; it hurts too much."
