Chapter 1: Hermione's Broken Heart
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
It was a cold night at the hotel where a group of friends are celebrating their batch's reunion…
"So…how's your college life?" Asked Harry To Hermione who was sitting by herself at the couch. It has been five years from now since they graduated from Hogwarts. The three of them; Ron, Harry and Hermione, decided to take college courses first before working at Hogwarts wherein Dumbledore offered them work. Ron who was far away from Hermione is busy flirting with the popular and known Slytherin girl in their time, Pansy Parkinson. Harry noticed Draco staring at Hermione since the start of the party. Draco and Harry had been friends since the end of their 7th year. Draco was the one apologized and of course, this surprised Harry but accepted the apology. Their reconciliation really helped both of them.
"It's ok…I guess…" Hermione replied.
"Gee…it's been a long time, huh? Can still remember when I was helping Ron to—" Harry started saying.
"Can you just change the topic? I'm not in the mood to talk about that."
Harry was confused why Hermione is acting strange. He was also curious if this had something to do with Ron because he noticed that they weren't talking that much in the party.
In a few minutes, Hermione was gone by his side. He found her at the balcony
looking at the stars. He thought that Hermione needs some time to be alone so he decided not to bother her anymore. Harry walked towards Draco instead.
"So, Malfoy…" Harry said sitting in front of Draco and adding more wine to his glass. Draco looked at him for a second and looked away with his eyes wandering.
"Looking for Hermione?" Harry asked. Draco shot a look at Harry then he began to speak.
"Where did you get that idea, Potter?" Draco asked, drinking his whole glass of wine.
"Been staring at her since the start of the party…" Harry said coolly.
"Oh…so you've been staring at me then…" Draco said.
"Don't be stupid…I was just looking for an opportunity to talk to you but people kept on approaching you…" Harry said.
"So…what do you want to talk about?" Draco said, taking a sip from his glass.
"Why did you…" Harry said.
"Let me guess…you're curious why did I ever asked for an apology…from you?" Draco finished for him. Harry nodded.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know why…maybe I'm waiting something to happen…" Draco said glancing at Hermione
"Does that 'something' has to do with, you know, Hermione?" Harry asked. Draco didn't answer.
"I get it…you like her…do you?" Harry said
"No more questions Potter…" Draco snapped.
"So what if I like her…I mean, I do have a better chance now…since she and that weasel are—" Harry cut him off.
"Are what, Malfoy?"
"You mean you don't know anything?" Draco said
"Know what?" Harry asked.
"That she and Weasley are already thru…heard it from a friend…" Draco said. Harry was totally shocked by this.
"I can't believe you don't know anything about this…" Draco said
"Me neither…" Harry agreed.
"Lets forget about it, what's important now is you like her…that's it…" Harry said
"Who cares if I like her…" Draco snapped
"She will…" Harry said then walked away towards the balcony.
"What the…" Draco muttered as he followed Harry with his eyes. 'Is he going to tell her? HOLY SHIT! He shouldn't be doing that!' Draco thought. He quickly got up and followed Harry. A few seconds passed, He saw Harry and Hermione talking to each other. He saw Hermione's shocked expression. "Fuck! Potter…" He muttered. Draco can't take this anymore. 'Hermione is totally getting the wrong idea, thanks to Pothead..' Draco thought. He shoved to the balcony and started to spit out words…
"Look Hermione…It's not what you think, ok…I mean, I like you like you…but not like you like you think…do you get me? I like you…but…not like you think,"Draco said looking so troubled. He looked at Harry and Hermione who are both surprised with their jaw dropped.
"What?" Draco asked.
"You just called me Hermione…and you like me?" Hermione asked.
"I thought Potter told you…" Draco said turning her head to face Harry then to Hermione and again to Harry. Harry began laughing hard that he fall out of balance.
"I'm not that stupid you know…" Harry laughed.
"You mean, you didn't tell her? But I saw her expression a minute ago…she was shocked and…" Draco said startled.
"She was shocked because I told her that I already know about her and Ron's split up. Then she asked me where did I heard the news…then you came along…" Harry said still laughing.
"I'm doomed…" Draco said with his face lit up in scarlet.
"You really are…" Harry said
Draco felt stupid this time…making a fool out of himself… imagine that. For once, Draco can't look straight into Hermione's eyes… 'You can do this…it's your fault anyway…' Draco thought encouraging Himself. Then, He finally made it…
"Don't you have anything to say?" Draco asked to Hermione who's still in the state of shock. Hermione opened her mouth to speak but Harry interrupted.
"I think I should go now…before you make your speech…" He said coolly then stared at Draco grinning and walked away. Draco looked again to Hermione waiting for her to say something.
"So…didn't know you like me…" Hermione said. Draco blushed in crimson feeling a little embarrassed at the same time.
"Ahh…uhmm…. ahh…Just forget about it…sorry to bother you…" Draco said. Draco took a step to walked outside the balcony but Hermione's laugh stopped him.
"What are you laughing at?" Draco asked furiously and insulted.
Just then Hermione's expression changed, like she's a crazy girl who doesn't know what to do...
"Honestly---she began---I'm flattered, really, imagine a malfoy...liking a mudblood, me when we are still at it really didn't strucked me at all...you're good at hiding your feelings...not like the person in front of you..." She finished and turned away.
"Why did you break up with Weasley??" Draco asked.
Hermione looked at her side...a few moments she hesitated to tell but like I said before she's not good at hiding her feelings...she really need someone to talk to...Of course not Harry, because she know she had disappointed him by not telling the truth. Unexpected, tears began flowing from her eyes...but no sound at all...like a silent cry. As the moment Draco saw this, he pulled Hermione to give her warm hug. He wanted to comfort her so bad...protect her and give her everything he have right now, and he also felt this anger rising up from his heart... He wanted to beat Ron for making his love cry.
Hermione was surprised by Draco's sudden move of hugging her. At that very moment, she felt very protected that no one else could harm her. It is her first time she felt so loved, cared...even Ron haven't done it to her...instead, Ron would tease her for crying...A few seconds she felt her heart healed to the max but it faded when Draco released her from his arms...
"Sorry...I didn't mean to..." Draco said pulling his hanky from his pocket and gave it to Hermione.
"You don't have to...it's really nice of you to do this...thanks..." Hermione said handing the hanky that she used to dry her cheeks from tears. Draco grabbed the hanky again and slid it to his pocket.
"Don't' mention it..." Draco said.
"Can I ask you a personal question?" Draco asked
"Sure..." Hermione nodded
"Do you still love him?" He asked
"Well, I don't know, I guess that feeling won't fade that fast..." Hermione said.
"Do you think if someone replaced him will help you?" Draco asked
"I don't know...I don't want to use a person to forget him anyway..." Hermione answered.
"Oh..." Draco said
Just then a slow relaxing song started to play...Draco looked at Hermione and saw her teary eye...Hermione began to sob...Draco who can't take the way she cry, hugged her tighter than before having Hermione's head rest on his neck...
Hermione who also wants comfort buried her face on Draco's neck. Draco could feel Hermione's warm tears that he hugged her more tightly...
(A/N: Just thought that you would like to see the content of the song I've just mentioned earlier...'Come away with me' by Norah Jones...hope you like it
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
Knee high
So won't you try to come?
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in you arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
