Too Close

Remus & Hermione

Summary: the wolf in him has already claimed her, but the man hesitates. The woman in her needed him, but the girl was scared. The story of two people fighting against being together when all they want is to be together.

Chapter one: seeing you again

Hermione stepped onto the platform and sighed. How she wished that everything would go back to normal, but she knew that wasn't going to happen.

Why did Ron have to kiss her? Why did she say yes to going out with him even though she only loved him as a friend? And why did Harry have to think that this was the best thing ever even though he knew she didn't love him?

Pushing these questions from her mind she looked around for her friends…and boyfriend.

Seeing Ron's red haired frame, she started to walk towards him, but stopped. Hermione didn't really want to go over there, Ron would kiss her and that made her want to puke. So instead she got on the train and found an empty compartment far away from where they usually sat. She settled down in her seat and took out her book.

Reading a few pages, she sighed and closed it. Reading wasn't what she wanted to do right now, she wanted someone to talk to, but to have an intelligent, interesting conversation, not one on food or quiditch. That was all Harry and Ron talked about!

Hearing the compartment door slid open, she looked up and saw that a tall, blond boy had entered the spot that she was occupying, and he was alone.

"Not surrounded by your group of giggling idiots Malfoy?"

Draco Malfoy spun around; he hadn't seen anyone is the compartment and was very surprised to see that it was the Know-it-all girl from the Golden trio.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were in here." He said flatly.

Hermione looked at him closely: he was paler than normal, with dark bags under his eyes, he badly needed a haircut, and he hadn't insulted her. The last was very surprising.

"Are you alright?" She asked bluntly.

"Yes, I'm fine." Came a short response.

Hermione sighed, "If you're going to lie Malfoy, at least make it more believable."

Draco stared at her, "What's it to you Granger?"

"I don't like seeing people down." She told him truthfully.

"Oh", Draco was quiet for a moment, "If you really want to know Granger, I am not alright."

"Duh." Hermione stated. "So what's wrong?"

"You really want to know?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yes"

"Why?"

"So I can help."

"What makes you think you can help Granger?" Draco asked sarcastically.

"Can I?"

No response, then, "Maybe."

"So tell me." Hermione coaxed.

Draco gulped. "My father tried to make me a Death Eater this summer and I refused," he looked up at her, "Despite what you and your friends think I do not wish to be a Death Eater and worship Voldemort."

"Then what happened?" Hermione asked.

"Then I went to Dumbledore for help because my father wanted me dead, he sent me to live with his cousin in France until the school year started. I slept badly all summer thinking that I would fall asleep and never wake up because my father had found me."

"Wow." Hermione said.

"Yep. That's my story. So what about you Granger?"

"What about me?" she asked.

"Why aren't you with Potty and Weasel?"

"Because I'm dating Ron."

"Then why aren't you with him?"

"Because I only love him as a friend." Hermione said quietly.

"Ouch." Draco said.

"So why aren't you being the Malfoy that I'm used to?" Hermione asked him.

"Because that's not who I am. That's who my father is and now that I'm free of him, I'm going to be me."

"Alright."

Draco stared at her, then asked "Want to be my first real friend?"

Hermione simply looked at him in shock. "What?"

"Do you want to be my friend? I know that I haven't been the nicest person to you, but I really want to start over. Please?" he said reminding Hermione of a little kid.

Then he added, "Besides we might as well agree now because we will be living together this year, because I'm head boy, and your head girl." He finished looking proud of himself.

Hermione thought about that for a second, then said "Fine."

Draco leaned back against the seat smugly, "Do we should start by calling each other their first name right?"

"Alright…Draco."

"Cool…Hermione."

"This is going to take some getting used to."

"Yep."
