Hermione was bursting with excitement as she walked up the steps to the Gryffindor common room.
'I can't wait to see what he's planned' she thought as she finally reached the portrait.
"Captut-Dracolis" she said, causing the portrait to swing open. 'Almost there', she thought.
'This is going to be so awe—' her train of thought halted as she froze in place, horrified at the sight before her. In front if her was Ron, her boyfriend of two years, making out with Lavender Brown. Eyes swelling with tears, she stormed toward him, throwing Lavender off in the process.
"Hey—" but a glare thrown in Lavender's direction cause whatever she was about to say lodge up in the back of her throat. She turned back to Ron, and before he could even even think of something to say an alarmingly loud SLAP sounded throughout the common room as Hermione's hand connected with the side of Ron's face.
"Don't you EVER talk to me again!" she ground out between clenched teeth. She ran out if the common room, leaving Ron stunned, hand still on his cheek.
With tears streaming down her face, Hermione ran through the empty halls, no destination in mind. She suddenly found herself on the floor as she collided with someone, a familiar "omph" coming from him. Looking up, Hermione saw the one person she wanted to see the least, especially now.
"Watch where you're going mudblood" Draco muttered as he got a quick glimpse at the person next to him. Both quickly got up and brushed themselves off. Finally, Draco got a good look at the tears flowing down her face and felt his own heat up in anger.
"What happened?" He asked stonily.
"Nothing Malfoy. Just move—"
"What. Happened." He said again, not asking this time.
Hermione looked into his silver-grey eyes and felt her resolve break. They had a hidden emotion that she couldn't identify, but at the moment, she didn't care. Icy tears fell from her eyes, once again, as she slid down the wall onto the floor, face in her palms. She felt him sit down next to her and a tingly sensation ignited in her body as she felt his arms wrap around her shoulders. She doesn't know long she sat there in his arms, and she doesn't know why. All she remembers is falling asleep, wrapped in his warm embrace.
