This is the last chapter of the story and this is from Hermione's perspective. Cat and Mouse is RJA'S song.


Cat and Mouse

"Tea?" Harry asked as he sat beside me.

"No, thanks. I'm already finished with mine." I answered.

"So, did you enjoy last night's party?"

I didn't reply. I did enjoy it somehow but I couldn't forget what happened that night when Draco Malfoy asked me on a dance.

It's as if I was thinking aloud because Harry seemed to hear me. "Had fun dancing with him?"

"Huh?" I said, pretending I didn't understand what he's saying.

"Oh come on, Hermione. Enjoyed your last dance, right?"

I took a deep breath and answered him. "I don't know. I don't know exactly what to feel. I don't know if I'm going to be happy or what."

"Do you still love him?"

My eyes widened in surprise. "I – I…"

I couldn't answer. I was kind of confused about my feelings for him. I ended my relationship with Draco but I don't know if it was a right decision.

"If you still love him, why not talk to him? Why not give your relationship a second chance?" Harry asked me as he stood up from the chair and leaned on the wall. "Hermione, as your friend since 1st grade, I already know everything about you. You may not tell me but I know that you still love him and you want to give him another chance. I know you are just in denial. And you're just afraid that he might not want you back again."

I absorbed every single word Harry told me.

He's right. I said to myself. I stood up and told Harry that I'll be back.

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere."

Softly we tremble tonight,

Picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight,

I said I'd never leave you'll never change

I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

I searched the whole castle for him and sitting beside the lake, I saw the blond-headed guy that I was looking for. He didn't notice me as I just stared at him from his back. That moment, what I wanted was to hug him very tightly and apologize for my very big mistake. But then I thought, will he forgive me? Finally, he noticed that I was there. He didn't say a word and I was the first one to speak.

"Hi." I said, as I was thinking for more words to say but I couldn't think of anything.

He was very shocked by what I said. Perhaps he never thought that I would approach him and tell him that word. After a few seconds, he replied, stuttering.

"H – hi."

"May I sit beside you?" I asked.

"Su –sure."

After saying that, I sat next to him. I was very nervous. I didn't know what to say next but it's him who spoke that time.

"Am I dreaming?"

"No you're not." I said.

"But why? Why are you here?"

"I'm here because I want to spend time with you."

"But why would you want that Hermione?"

"I just miss old times." I told him.

"I don't know what you're up to." He said.

We then remained silent for a very long time.

Am I supposed to be happy?

With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.

You said, you said that you would die for me...

It was me who broke the silence and told him straight forward the thing that brought me there. "I realized that I still love you Draco."

He didn't answer while I added something. "And I realized that breaking up with you is a very stupid decision."

He still continued being silent and it was me who spoke again. "Hey. Why don't you say something?!"

Then at last, he spoke. "You just realized those things today? Then it's too late."

I couldn't believe what he told me. I was so surprised upon hearing it. I didn't want to approach him because I was afraid that that might happen and it did. It really broke my heart but then, I know everything's my fault.

We made plans to grow old,

Believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.

Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?

"No. Tell me it's not too late." I pleaded but he insisted that he has already moved on.

"But Draco… I know you still love me. I can feel it. Tell me…"

He grinned mischievously and stood up. "Know what," he said. "Way back then, when I was explaining to you everything, you didn't try to understand what I'm saying. And now you're here begging me to tell you that I still love you? You must be really insane Hermione Granger."

"I am not insane!" I shouted at him.

"What do you call yourself then?"

After he said that to me, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. "Why are you doing this to me Draco?"

"Because that was what you did to me before." He said as he turned back and started walking away.

You said, you said that you would die for me...

"Draco! Please!" I said as I ran after him.

"What?! What do you need?! I told you, I don't love you anymore. I have already moved on Hermione Granger. You have your Weasley there. Why don't you just go with him and be happy with him?"

"He's just a friend…"

"But he's madly deeply in love with you so just go with him." He insisted.

Tears continued running down my cheeks as I accepted the fact that he doesn't want me anymore.

You must live for me too'...

For me too...yeah, yeah...

You said that you would die for me...

"Just go with him and leave me alone Hermione Granger." He said to me.

"I am not going to be happy with him. I am going to be happy with you." I told him very silently. "But as you have said, you don't want me anymore. So there, go, leave. I won't beg anymore. If that's what you want."

But even if I told him to leave, he didn't. He just stayed there and we again remained silent.

I was still crying and I couldn't look at him so I just faced downwards. All of a sudden, he touched my cheek very softly. I looked at him and we both stared into each other's eyes.

"Hermione Granger, you're not supposed to cry. You don't deserve to get hurt." he said.

"What do you mean?"

He dried my tears and said, "I, Draco Malfoy will promise you that I will never let you fall, and that I'll stand up with you forever. I promise that I'll be there for you through it all even if saving you sends me to heaven."

I smiled. He got those lines from my favorite song…

"I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." I said.

"I will do everything for you. I will love you forever even if I will die for you coz you don't deserve to be sad and be hurt. You are supposed to be happy, my angel."

With that, he leaned forward and we sealed our lips with a kiss.

Am I supposed to be happy?

With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.

You said, you said that you would die for me...
