Dramione Fan Fic by Madame 15
"Hermione! Wait!" Draco called running after her. "Look I am sorry ok."
"Sorry?" Hermione asked. "You insult my friends. You act like you rule Hogwarts. You behave like a high status prig!" Draco gasped at this. For she was the first girl who ever said such a thing. The girls in his house just fell all over him. Pansy Parkinson never would have said such a thing.
"I don't get you at all Hermione Granger. I know I have called you a mudblood, but I only say this because I want to make an impression on my mates. My father has told me again and again. When I look at you though… it just feels wrong." Draco face went down to the floor.
"Draco… I had… no idea." Hermione swallowed back her tears. She understood what Draco was inferring about Lucius Malfoy. How he was rigid and hard. He wanted Draco to be on his standards. Draco's father would have forbid them from talking. He would've made Draco only associate with pure blooded Slytherins.
"Hermione." Draco said. "I love you." He said in his raspy deep voice. He pulled Hermione in and kissed her behind the clock tower. "I love you." He whispered again and again.
"I love you too." Hermione whispered back.
Thoughts ran through Draco's head. What will my friends think? Will they tell my father? How bad would it get? As in love as they are, they would have much to stress about. But Draco sighed. He had this moment with the only girl he will ever actually love. He held her tight as the clock tower clicked 7 times.
When the clock rang 7 times. Draco knew what he had to do for her safety and for his. "Hermione." He said. "You know I will always love you. But it can't be us. I think you understand why."
"Draco. I know… we are going to have to move on from each other. It isn't going to work. Grabbe, Goyle, and you are still going to give my friends a hard time. You will still give us a hard time."
"I know Hermione. Please understand. Think about it this way. When ever I say 'Mudblood' to you, think of it as me really saying 'I love you more than anything'"
"I will Draco. Goodbye." Hermione kissed him on the neck and fled. A tear ran from her eye. However, she knew she could never be with the one man that she legitimately loves. And from that day forward, they tried not to speak much to each other again.
