Hey everyone! So this is my first ever fic that I've uploaded to . I just recently got really into writing so I'm still probably not very great! Reviews would be much appreciated!
I love Harry Potter so most of the stories that I write will be Harry Potter, and those will probably all be Dramione like this one is. I plan on making this one into a multi-chapter story so right now it's obviously not done.
So now I'll stop blabbering and let the story start! Please tell me what you think!
Chapter One
Draco thought he was being careful. He thought no one knew what he was doing. He made sure the Crabbe and Goyle kept lookout while he went into the Room of Requirement. He thought no one saw him. Oh, how wrong he was.
Hermione had learned to cast disillusionment charms on herself by studying ahead in her charms book. Harry wouldn't stop telling her that Draco kept disappearing off the Marauder's Map, so she took it upon herself to investigate.
She crept along the corridor until she reached the turn leading to the Room of Requirement. She tapped the tip of her wand on top of her head and felt the feeling of an egg cracking on her head starting. She made sure she couldn't see herself and then continued down the corridor towards the room. She noticed the two "little 1st year girls" in the same places as they were yesterday. They didn't even notice when the door started to appear behind them. She couldn't believe it actually worked. Slowly, she opened the door and closed it behind her.
Draco didn't hear the door opening at the end of the room. He was too focused on getting this bloody vanishing cabinet to work.
"Harmonia Nectere Passus" he repeated for the millionth time.
She heard him. He sounded frustrated and angry. She quietly walked along the many rows of lost things and finally found him. He was standing in front of what seemed to be the vanishing cabinet from Borgin & Burkes. He opened the cabinet and let out a cry of frustration. She had to put her hand against her mouth to hold in her gasp at his sudden outburst. Apparently, he still heard her.
"Who's there?" Draco called out.
She staying as still as possible. Oh Merlin, if he knew she was in there, there's no telling what he could do.
"I know there's someone in here! Show yourself!"
Hermione started to back out of the room, but being her usual clumsy self, she ran into a large, unsteady pile of books that immediately toppled over.
"Stupefy!" Draco aimed the spell towards exactly where Hermione stood. She had no time to move. She was stunned and fell to the floor.
Draco walked towards the invisible form on the floor. He cast the countercurse to the disillusionment charm and, to his surprise, Hermione Granger appeared before him.
"Granger?" He asked, more to himself.
"Rennervate" he muttered. She attempted to grab her wand but he disarmed her before she could. She quickly stood up of the ground and stared at him.
"Malfoy, what do you think you're doing?" She asked.
"Actually, Granger, I think I should be the one asking that question," he replied.
"What are you doing with that cabinet?"
"It's none of your business, Mudblood".
She took no offense to this word anymore. It still hurt, but only a little. He had called her it so many times now that it had almost lost all affect on her.
"Give me my wand, Malfoy," Hermine demanded.
"Why should I? You were spying on me," He replied.
"I-I.. just give me my wand, will you?" She stuttered out the words. He was making her very uncomfortable. He started moving closer towards her. She backed away on natural instinct. He noticed this and stopped his pursuit.
"Hermione, I don't know what you saw, but please, I'm begging you, please don't tell anyone," He pleaded.
Wait, did she just hear him correctly? Draco Malfoy had not only called her my her first name, but he said 'please', and he begged her. Malfoys don't beg. This was completely out of character for him. She was dumbfounded, the least.
"Why shouldn't I? I should go straight to Dumbledore and tell him what I saw," Hermione told him.
"Please. I'll do anything you want. Just, please, don't tell anyone about this".
What was going on with him? Now that she had a chance to study his face, she noticed that he looked different. He looked sick. He had bags under his eyes, he skin was paler (if that was even possible), and his once bright, silver eyes were now a dull, lifeless gray. She couldn't believe it, but she felt bad for him. Whatever he was doing wasn't his choice. She took pity on him. She wouldn't tell. At least not yet, anyway.
"I won't tell," she said.
"Ple- Wait, what?" he asked, shocked.
"I said I won't tell. But you have to tell me exactly what you were doing with that cabinet".
"All in good time, Granger. All in good time. Now, I want you to understand something," he moved closer to her now, and she didn't back away, "no one, and I mean no one finds out about this, got it? If anyone does, you'll pay for it".
Ah, there was the same old Malfoy that everyone knew. She knew that the pleading Malfoy she saw was only a one-time act of desperation. She knew what he was really like.
"Fine. I won't tell anyone as long as you tell me what you were doing," he was about to remind her that he would in good time, but she stopped him," I know, "All in good time". But you will tell me".
And with that, she walked back to the entrance, recast her disillusionment charm, and walked out leaving him staring at her back, still in a slight state of shock.
Was she really not going to tell anyone? Merlin, he hoped so. He didn't know what he would do if this plan was ruined. He wouldn't let that happen. He never planned on telling anyone about the vanishing cabinet, but now he had no choice but to tell Granger. This was going to be interesting.
Hermione walked down the corridors headed back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Had she really just agreed to that? What was wrong with her? Why would she keep his secrets? He had tormented her and her friends for years! This was mental. Absolutely mental. She wondered when he was going to tell her what she was doing. Oh Merlin, what had she gotten herself into?
So there's chapter one! Thank you for reading! A review would be great!
