Hello, this is my first fanfic and I know how short this is, but the chapters get longer I promise. This story is also on Wattpad.
Hermione and Draco flooed and apparated to Hermione's flat in muggle London. And right when Draco entered her flat, yet another battle of wits and words took place. They've been yelling at the top of their lungs for the past forty minutes, ever since they both got home from work. Draco is still too stubborn, to tell the truth; that he is completely head over heels in love with the know-it-all bookworm Hermione Jean Granger. He is still ignorant even though he has admitted his feelings for her on many occasions. Which baffled him because he never meant to say it but they came out of his mouth anyway. Hermione had finally given into her feelings for him many many months ago and had stopped fighting it. And they are, once again, yelling and screaming about the same thing they've been fighting almost every day for the past week about: Going public with their relationship and Draco still not getting it through his thick head, that she chose him over Ron Weasley.
"GODDAMMIT 'MIONE! How many times do I have to tell you to go?! I'm not good for you! Go back to that Weasel he's the safer choice and you know it! And.." Draco yelled trying to get his point across for the millionth time. She really is as stubborn and hardheaded as they say.
Hermione stood there, mouth agape for the first time in 40 minutes just letting his words sink in. It's nothing she hadn't heard before in their previous fights, but this time, this time it was different. The look in his eye, the way he said it. It just seemed so different. She let out a shaky breath and stared at her feet and spoke so quietly that she barely heard herself, but he heard her. "...do you really want me to leave?" She let her gaze that was filled with unshed tears travel from her feet back to his storm-grey eyes that captivated her ever since their truce last year when they came back for their 8th year.
Draco seemed taken aback for a moment and took notice of the tears filling her beautiful chocolate brown eyes that he loved so much. He decided to ignore that for the time being and answered her question, "yes" he said very simply and very breathlessly. He cleared his throat and said it again with more determination "yes, my parents would never approve, especially my father and I will not put you through that."
She finally let a tear fall that she had been holding in. She quickly wiped it away and spoke: "what happened to you saying 'screw em I love you, I want to be with you'?" She said slightly aggravated. "Did you not mean it? Did you not mean it when you said you wanted to be with me, or that you loved me?" Her voice wavered but her Gryffindor courage took over not letting her seem weak.
He schooled his features to his cold look that she hadn't seen since the war. And what he said killed her. "No, that was a spur of the moment thing, I don't know why I said it." The words flew out of his mouth before he could stop them. He didn't mean that exactly, but they came out anyway. The look on her face made his heart drop straight to the ground and he tried to fix the damage he just created. "'Mione, baby I don't know why I said that I didn't mean it," he said quickly trying to grab her hand as she turned away.
"NO!" She said trying to hold in a sob as she snatched her hand away from his grip. "Baby, baby I didn't mean it! Please look at me." Draco pleaded while walking behind her. She whirled around with tear stains on her face to look at him. "Leave," she said as she walked towards her door and opened it. "Leave," she said again while wiping away tears. "Hermione I didn't mean it, please let me explain myself," Draco said as he took a few steps towards her.
"Draco, please leave," she said as she opened the door wider. Draco tried to explain himself further but she didn't want to hear it, his previous words hurt too much. "Draco, just stop, what you said," she said with a small sniffle "what you said, what you've been saying. You've been telling me to leave you, that 'it'd be better for me.' You have been telling me this for weeks, months even! And you know what? You got what you wished for, I'm done, I'm leaving. Now, please leave." She said wiping away the tears that had fallen without her noticing.
Draco sighed in defeat, trying his best to hold in his tears and walked out the door. Right before she closed the door, he looked over his shoulder and into the brown eyes that he loved so much and filled with so much pain and said, "I'm sorry." And walked down the hall and out of the building and apparated home.
Hermione heard his apology but it didn't change how she felt. As she saw him turn to leave, she closed her door and slid down it and let all of the tears she had been holding in fall.
What did you think? Let me know, I love feedback. I don't know what my posting schedule will be, but I have about seven other chapters ready to post.
