Chapter 2

Draco

When I got to the Great Hall I saw her sitting on the one end of Gryffindor table, alone. I couldn't see Potter or Weasel anywhere. She smiled when she saw me and waved on me.

"Draco!" she called me. I went to her. "Do you want to sit with me, today?" she asked, pointing on the place next to her. "Only if you won't mind that," I said quickly. She smiled.

"Of course not. Come on." I sat next to her at the Gryffindor table. We could feel the looks of everybody else on us. Well, it was strange.

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were sitting next to each other and talking. "Everybody is staring," I said quietly. "Let them stare," she answered. I was in shock. "So, you don't mind sitting here with me, when is everybody staring at us and thinking, I don't know what?" I asked. She shook her head. "No! Because you are my friend," she said quietly.

I could hardly breathe. Hermione counted me as her friend. "Thank you," I whispered. "What for?" she asked. I took a long, deep breath. "For counting me as your friend. For listening me. For helping me. For being," I replied and smiled softly. She smiled at me back. We finished our meals and went out from the Great Hall. I escorted her to the entrance to her Common room.

We saw Potter and Weasley standing right in front of it. She said: "See you, tomorrow, Draco." I nodded. She hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled and went to my Dorm. I just could hear the Weasel's words: "Hermione, you were with him? Malfoy? And the hug and the kiss? What was that for?" I felt like the winner of everything. I was happy that her boyfriend was jealous on me. I learn to live with no expectations, so I was happy, that we were friends.

Hermione

After Draco left, Ronald was acting like sick. "Hermione, you were with him? Malfoy? And the hug and the kiss? What was that for?" he was shouting at me.

"Ronald! Calm down, okay? We are friends! What's wrong with that?" I shouted back. Everyone in the common room was staring. I didn't care. "You are asking me, what's wrong with that? He is Malfoy, Hermione! He is a Death Eater! And he is stupid! And I'm sorry, that I have to remind you that, but you have a boyfriend!" Ron was yelling at me.

"I know that! He is my friend, Ronald! He has changed, he is different! You are acting like ten years old!" I yelled at him back and wanted to go away. He raised his hand and slapped me across my face. I felt the pain and tears started to going from my eyes. I turned back and ran away from the common room. "Mione, Hermione, wait! I'm sorry! I didn't mean that, wait!" he called, but I didn't care. I ran out of the Common room and down the staircases to the ground floor. I sat to my favorite place, behind one statue and started to cry even more.

Draco

I was sitting in my bed in my dorm. I couldn't sleep. I had to think about her. I was so happy, that we were friends. It was kind of boring, to sit in my bed. Since I was a prefect, I could go anywhere I want to, at any time. So I got dressed back and went down the stair. I was just going up and down and then, stopped at ground floor. I was singing quietly, my own song.

And then, I heard that. Somebody was crying. Normally he didn't care about it, but today, it was different. He went after the cries. "Mione?" I asked. She raised her head. Her eyes were red and there was a large bruise across her face. I sat down next to her and hugged her tightly. She leaned her head against my chess and crying. "Mione, sweetheart! What happened? Where did you get this?" I asked her and caressed her face. She calmed down after few minutes. "Draco, Draco, don't leave me, please, stay with me. Don't leave me, don't be like him," she whispered.

I hugged her again and stroke her hair. "I will never leave, Mia. Never, ever. Who did this to you? Please, tell me that, darling," I answered.

She smiled softly. "Draco. It was he. Ronald. I said that you are my friend and he hit me. We shouted at each other and then I ran away," she said then. "God, I will kill him, I swear! How he could do this to you? How anybody could do anything to you!" I said and caressed her cheek again.

She smiled and put her hands to my hair. She leaned her face towards mine. Our lips met for a few seconds. "Mione, I love you," I whispered. "Draco," she said quietly and tears started running from her eyes again. "Draco, I love you too. But, I, I can't do this. I can't betray Ron. I already-," She raised her hand and for the first time I saw a ring on her finger.

My world felt down. Everything was ruined. She was marrying that fucking stupid-. I buried his face in his hands. And tears came to my eyes too. "Draco, I'm sorry, please, forgive me. Please. Forgive me, because I love you," she begged me. I didn't say a word and kissed her. She kissed me back.

"I love you, Draco Malfoy. So, so, so much," that was the only thing, she could say between the kisses. "I love you too, Mione. I don't want you to marry him. Please, do that for me," now I was begging her. I knelt in front of her. "Please, please. For me. I love you, Mia." Now she wasn't crying, she couldn't.

"Draco. Draco. I can't, I can't, I love you, but I promised to Ronald. I guess I love him too. I'm sorry, Draco. I'm sorry. Can we be friends, please?" she asked then. I looked on the ground and then raised my head. "Okay. If nothing else," I replied. "Last kiss?" she asked me. I nodded and kissed her. I gave everything into it. After few minutes, I leaned away. "I love you, Mia." I said and walked away.
