"I HATE YOU MALFOY!! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!" screamed Hermione as she ran to her room in the heads' dormitory. She slammed the door and leaped on her bed and started crying into her pillow. God I hate him, why must he be so mean to me??
Two hours later she walked out of the dormitory and ran up to the seventh floor to the room of requirement. She entered the room and found it just like the room they used in her fifth year for D.A. practice. She put a mannequin up at the end of the room and started shooting spells at it. She was so caught up in her anger and her battle with the mannequin that she didn't notice Malfoy enter the room and sit behind her on a cushion. He sat there four about 20 minutes watching her rage before he vanished the mannequin and summoned her wand to him.
"What the hell are you doing here? Give me back my wand and leave me alone ferret." She was so tired she didn't want to fight with him she just wanted to be left alone.
"I'm sorry about earlier," Malfoy said quietly. He looked down at the ground, avoiding her eyes.
"What?"
This time he looked straight at her, "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing to me?" she asked, really puzzled, "And do you think a simple 'sorry' is going to make up for what you said and did to me?"
"Because I realized why I am so mean to you and I feel really bad about, actually I've always felt bad about it but I couldn't quit being mean. And no I know that just one apology won't make up for anything."
"What did you realize?" she asked quietly, not sure what he meant.
"That I love you," he said quietly.
" That's a bunch of bull shit Malfoy and you know it," Hermione said loudly. She couldn't believe, wouldn't believe that he had just said that. It couldn't be true. After all the pain he made her go through after all these years and now he says it's because he loves her. Bullshit!
"It's true, whether you want to believe it or not." At this point he stood up and grabbed her hands. "I'm sorry about earlier and I love you… very much," he said it in such a pitiful voice, one that she had never heard him use before, she almost believed him. Almost.
"Get off of me Malfoy," she spat venomously at him, pulling her hands away from him. "Give me back my wand."
"Fine, here you go." He handed her wand back. She snatched it from he and walked to the door. "I'm really sorry, Hermione," he said sadly.
She stopped by the door, hand on the doorknob, she looked at him. He has never called her by her first name, and it took her by surprised. She turned away from him quickly, and ran to her dormitory.
Hope you liked it. I'll review as quickly as I can.
