A Stranger's love
Chapter 4: Talking to the enemy
By AprilShowers167
The very next day, Hermione got up and turned on her computer to check her emails and see if any people were online. It was 11:30 in the morning. After she finished checking her emails, she got her homework and started doing it. While she was doing her homework, someone's MSN name popped up on the screen. She puts down her strainer and looks up onto her screen to see Draco's MSN name.
They start talking.
After awhileDraco asks "what you doing?"
"Doing the potions homework. I have done the essay yesterday and earlier on and I'm going to the project another time. You?"
"Umm. I'm doing the project and the questions today and maybe later could we meet up in the three Broomsticks?" asked Draco.
"Sure. I'll be bored of my mind if I don't get out of this house!"
"Lol. Cool. Can I have your mobile number so that I could ring you or text you?"
"I thought you hated muggle stuff"
"I don't any more. I want to see the difference between muggle and magical staff"
"Okay then" Hermione said, starting to believe Draco.
"So can I have your number?" asked Draco
"Yeah sure. 07788674320. Can I have yours as well?"
"Yeah sure. 07764522367. What time shell we meet up?"
"4:30, if you haven't finished, do it tomorrow or something"
"Yeah I know. Anyways I go to go. See you later. Buy xxx"
"K. Buy see ya x"
Draco signed out. Hermione programmed Draco's number and went downstairs for lunch.
After lunch, she had a shower, washed her hair, dried her hair and straighted her hair as well. A/N: I would do a spell to speed up the progress of doing Hermione's hair but I'm not sure if Hogwarts students could do magic if they are entering the 7th year, outside their school.
Hermione gets dressed, gets her handbag and walked out of the house to the bus stop.
Once she gets on the bus she puts on her music on and waits until she gets to Slone Square. A/N: I'm guessing whereabouts the Dragon Alley is.
Inside the Three BroomsticksHermione steps in the Three Broomsticks and sees a blond boy seating in his chair, reading his book. "God, he's so different from inside the school" Hermione thought.
She walks up to the boy and "Hi. Waiting for me?"
The boy looks up and sees Hermione in a red, velvet top with jeans and a cardi.
"Hermione, you look amazing"
Hermione thanked Draco and sat down opponent him.
"Do you want to eat?" asked Draco.
"Yes. I'm so hungry" answered Hermione.
"Ok. Here's the menu" Draco said and handed one to Hermione
"Thanks" Hermione said, smiling.
"Your welcome" Draco said, smiling and looking down onto his menu.
After awhile, Draco and Hermione ordered their dinner, "The food will arrive in 15 minute" said the elf that was taking their order, got the menus and walked off to the kitchen.
Hermione and Draco thanked the elf.
"I'll be back soon" Hermione said.
"Ok"
Hermione walked off and left Draco thinking.
"Shell I tell her? Am I rushing the friendship? I mean, we are friends for like less then two days! It'll be mad but I think-"
"Draco?" Hermione said entreating Draco's thoughts.
"Oh hey. Sorry, I was day dreaming"
"Oh, are you a day dreamer person?" asked Hermione, seating down.
"Yeah, sometimes. You?"
"Same"
"Wow, that's weird because you never seem to be day dreaming at school"
"Well, that's because you don't see me after class, apart from meals and you don't know me very well" answered Hermione.
"Oh okay"
Then their food arrived. While eating, Draco was thinking "Shell I go ahead? I don't know! Okay, just tell her and get it over and done with"
"Hermione?" started Draco.
"Yes?"
"What do you think of our friendship?" asked Draco.
Hermione looked up and said, "Well, I think our friendship is going very well. We are not ageing or bulling. Why?"
"Oh god. I have to tell her now? God her eyes are so full of bastion…ok here's it goes" Draco thought. "Well, I would think that it would be good to be more then just friends"
Hermione looked up. "Oh my god! We are going really fast, aren't we?" Um…if we are going to be more then good friends, then no one should know. Ok?"
"Yeah sure. My Dad will kill me if he finds out that I'm going out with you. So. I think, if we feel something's wrong, we should stop and be friends, yeah?" asked Draco.
"Yeah, cool thanks"
"Your welcome"
They smiled at each other and returned to eating their food again.
"Oh my god! I can't believe it! I'm going out with Hermione!" thought Draco.
Then this song comes up on the CD player.
Everybody told me take it slow It could have happened if you wanted to Chorus No one showed me how to walk away It could have happened if you wanted to Chorus Was it me, because I need an answer? Don't go breaking my heart, Chorus How many times, how many times
But I thought you were the one for me
Times I felt a little unsure
I thought that we could talk it through
Try to mend this love and carry on
You didn't have to break my heart
I was your girl, and I fell for you, my love
Why did you have to hurt me?
You won't see the pain inside
Smile when I walk; I let you decide my love
why didn't you stop to love me?
Don't go breaking my heart, I fell for you
I can't take it again, No baby
Don't go breaking my heart, it's up to you
Can't move on 'till you say goodbye
I just told myself I knew it all
Damn, I learnt a little too late
I should have listened to my friends
Never making that mistake again
You didn't have to break my heart, yeah
I was your girl, and I fell for you, my love
Why did you have to hurt me?
You won't see the pain inside
Smile when I walk, I let you decide, my love (my love)
Why didn't you stop to love me?
Was my love just a bit of fun?
I feel so confused, I gave you my heart
Told you all I'd done
Should've said that you were leaving
I would just have cried
No you walked away, without explaining
Can't move on till you say goodbye
I can't take it again,
Don't go breaking my heart, it's up to you
Can't move on 'till you say goodbye
Don't go breaking my heart
"That was really nice food" Hermione said, once she finished eating her meal, watching Draco putting his fork down on his plate.
"Yup"
"Shell we have coffee and ice-cream?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah okay. I'll get it. What flavour do you like?"
"Umm. Don't really mind"
"I am having nutella ice cream. It is Nutella with cream. Really nice"
"Yeah, okay then"
"Okay" Draco went up to the bar and come back.
"Here you go and enjoy" Draco said
"Thanks"
"So Hermione. How does it feel talking to the enemy?"
"It use to be strange but now it feels good" Hermione answered.
"Good"
"Draco? Do you like Shakespeare?" asked Hermione, completely changing the subject.
"Yeah. I like all of them. I like Macbeth, A midnight's summer's dream and Romeo and Juliet, why?"
"So do I! I was Lady Macbeth in my play in Macbeth"
"Really?"
"Yes. I was in year six in my muggle school" Hermione answered.
"Oh"
"I got all plays that I was in. They are on DVDs though"
"What are DVDs?" asked a very puzzled Draco.
"They are CDs that go in the television and it's got movies on the Cd. You will see them"
"Ok cool"
"Are you allowed to stay out longer?" asked Hermione
"I'm not sure. Why?"
"Because I got two tickets to see a play called Romeo and Juliet" answered Hermione.
"Oh cool. Yeah I would love to see it with you!"
"Yeah ok cool. Ring your Mum to ask"
"Yeah okay" Draco said and got his mobile out and rang his Mother.
Ring, ring his phone went. "Hello?" said the voice inside his phone.
"Hi Mum, its Draco"
"Hi Daring. How are you? You having fun?" asked his Mother.
"Yeah it would be more fun if I could stay out longer because I'm seeing Romeo and Juliet, the play, with my friend"
"Yeah sure" his Mother said.
"Thanks"
"Ok, better go love, see you later!"
"Buy, love you" Draco said and hanged up.
"Well?" Hermione asked when she saw Draco putting his phone away in his pocket.
"Yes, I can stay longer" answered Draco.
"Cool. Let's go then" said Hermione and they left the restaurant and walked towards a theatre.
In the theatre "Here we are" Hermione said when they arrived. "Where do we go now? I never been in theatre a in my life!" "Well, now you have, Draco and we go to the tickets master to let them know what play we are seeing, then we can get drinks and food and a programme" Hermione informed."Oh, okay then. Could I have water please?" asked Draco.
"Yeah sure. I would like to have water. I'll get two. Be back soon" Hermione said and walked off to see the paintings on the ceilings.
Hermione sees Draco and walks towards him, "here's your water"
"Thanks. When does the play start?"
"7:45pm"
"Okay" said Draco.
It is 7:40pm at the moment.
"Shell we get the programme?" asked Hermione
"Yeah, okay then" answered Draco.
They got it, went in and sat down and read the programme till the play started.
A/N: Well, you know the play! So there's no point of typing the story! If you don't get the book and read it or something!)
Later in the evening
"Well, did you like the play?" asked Hermione when Draco and Hermione were on the last train.
"Yes, I did. We have to do this more often" said Draco
"Yeah, I know. We will think of something"
"Yeah"
"Do you want to listen to my music?" asked Hermione
"Ok" Draco said, putting the earphone in his ear.
"So, have you told anyone what happened on the train?" asked Draco.
Hermione looked up at Draco.
"I was going to but I didn't because someone was right of changing himself and I think I'm in love with him" Hermione said.
"Who's him?" asked Draco who know but played along.
Thought that I was going crazy And everything went from wrong to right
Just having one those days yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music you were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
Hermione leaned over and kissed Draco on the lips.
Draco was stunned but relive because he wanted her to love him but it turned out that his wishes become true.
'cause baby when I heard you
For the first time I knew
We were meant to be as one
Was tired of running out of luck
Thinking 'bout giving up yeah
Didn't know what to do
Then there was you
Hermione stopped and pulled away. "You"
Draco blinked and signed. "That's good" he said before he moved his head towards Hermione's face and kissed Hermione on the lips.
And everything went from wrong to right 'cause baby when I heard you And everything went from wrong to right
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music you were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
For the first time
I knew we were meant to be as one
And the stars came out and filled up the sky
The music you were playing really blew my mind
It was love at first sight
"Do you want to come in?" Hermione said when they were at her door.
"Yeah, sure"
Hermione unlocked the door, walked in, took off her shoes and walked into the kitchen to have a drink.
"Well, I had a brilliant night!" Hermione said.
"Yeah. Um. Where are you?" asked Draco, who was in the living room now.
Hermione walked out of the kitchen and said, "turn right and you will see me"
Draco turned and sees Hermione with two glasses of water.
Draco smiles, walked up to her and said "Thanks", gets his glass and kissed Hermione on the check and walked away to see the drawings on the wall.
Hermione walked upstairs and changes into nightclothes.
"Draco?" called Hermione from the landing with music on.
Draco hears his name, turns around to see Hermione in sleeveless t-shirt and shorts, and walked up towards her, put his arms around his new girlfriend's waste and kisses her patiently. Afterwards, Hermione pulled away, took Draco's hand and pulled him into her room.
"My parents will be here soon" said Hermione, when Draco shut the door.
"How long is soon?" asked Draco, walking towards Hermione and wrapping his arms around her.
"In less then five minutes" answered Hermione.
"Okay. Shell I go then?" questioned Draco.
"No, because they will see you, so hid yourself in the curtains. There's two curtains over my window so if I drew the underneath one and you shut the other one and hide yourself, then my parents won't see. They will come in my room to say "hi", "goodnight" and then we will talk how you shell escape without being seen" said Hermione.
"Yeah, okay" said Draco.
"So, where were we?" asked Hermione.
"Around about here" Draco said, kissing Hermione's lips.
Hermione could hear the door, being opened.
"Hello Hermione!" called Hermione's parents.
Hermione opened her eyes quickly, "shit" she said to herself but Draco heard. A/N: Hermione's head was on Draco's shoulders while Draco was kissing her neck!
"What is it?" asked Draco.
"My parents are back! Hide Draco" Hermione quickly said. Hermione pulled the underneath curtains, while Draco pulled the top one over himself so that Hermione's parents can't see him.
"Stay still. I'll come to the window when they are out" whispered Hermione into Draco's ears.
"Ok"
Whilst downstairs, (three minutes ago)Hermione's parents just walked in to find music playing.
"Hermione!" they called, taking their coats off and taking off their shoes.
Hermione didn't answer.
"Anyone home?" asked Sam
"I think she's not here. But she has left the music on or she is here with her music on loud!" told Tony.
"So, if she's not answering then it's a burglar!" Sam shouted
They search until they hear a scream from their daughter's room.
"Oh my god" Sam said after hearing the scream and ran upstairs with Tony following her.
They go in Hermione's room to find Hermione laying on her bed, reading her book and listing to music.
"Hey daring" they said
"Hey"
"You all right? Because we heard a scream in your room" Tony said.
"Yeah I am. There was a scream but from my music" answered Hermione. But Hermione did scream, because she wanted her parents to come in and say "Hi" to her so that Draco can go home.
"Oh, okay then. We will go and make something light to eat. Do you want something?" asked Sam.
"Yes please" said Hermione.
"Ok. See you downstairs!" Sam said, going out of Hermione's room.
"Buy" Hermione said.
Tony bowed a kissed to Hermione and Hermione pretended to caught it and put it on her check.
Tony smiled and went out with an "I love you. See you!" and shut the door.
Hermione shook her head with a smile, continued reading and waited for a second. After a second, she looked up, signed and walked towards her window.
"Draco" whispered Hermione.
"Yeah" Draco whispered back.
"They have left!"
Draco come out and sat down on a chair.
"That was so close!" Draco said.
"Yeah. Any ideas?" asked Hermione.
"I could climb down your window and ran out of your house and hide?" asked Draco.
"Yeah okay" Hermione said, kissed Draco, and then she heard her mum calling her.
"Hermione?" called Sam
"Hold on" Hermione said to Draco, walking out of her room saying, "Yes?"
"Dinner is ready!"
"Ok" Hermione said and went to the bathroom.
Meanwhile in Hermione's room, three minutes earlierDraco sees Hermione going out of her room and hears his mobile ringing.
He picks up and answers.
"Hello?" asked Draco.
"Hi Draco" said his Dad.
"Hi Dad"
"Draco, could you come home please because it's late!"
"Yeah sure. I was just leaving" Draco said.
"Ok cool. See you soon" Luscious said.
"Buy"
"Buy" Draco's father said and hanged up.
Draco puts his phone away, writes a letter, started climbing down Hermione's window, ran and hide behind the bush.
Hermione comes back to her room to find a note. She picked it up.
Dear Hermione,
Sorry, I have to go. My Dad wants me home now. I hope I am not in trouble. Please write back. Thanks for taking me to see the play. It was really good. I will ring you tomorrow!
Love Draco xxx
Hermione smiled at the letter and reread it over and over again
"What if Draco's in trouble? What will happen? I hope it is going to be okay! Like he said, he will ring me tomorrow" said Hermione, thinking to herself.
"All well. I better go for my snack" Hermione said and went downstairs for the little dinner.
DownstairsOnce she got into the kitchen she sat down and eat her cheese, biscuits and fruits.
Tony and Sam noticed that Hermione had a note in her hand.
"Hermione, dear, what is that in your hand?" asked Tony.
"That's school work" lied Hermione.
"Shit! I just lied to my parents, dammit! But I'm not too sure to tell about Draco being my boyfriend because they think I am his enemy" thought Hermione.
"So, did you want to tell us something?" asked Sam.
"Like what?" asked Hermione.
"Do you remember? You told us yesterday that you wanted to tell us something" reminded Sam.
"Oh yes, yes. You know Harry's birthday party?" lied Hermione.
"Oh my god! What's up with me today? I'm turning into a lier! All well, it's better like that because I don't want Draco to find out that I betrayed him after few hours of being his girlfriend. I'll ring Harry up tomorrow as well. He's at Ron's house all summer, which is great for him!" Hermione was talking to herself.
"Yes?" Tony said.
"I have to be there at 3:30 that day"
"When are you going?" asked Sam.
"Next Thursday" answered Hermione.
"Ok sure. We will take you there" said Tony.
"Thanks" Hermione said "Oh my god! I really must ring Harry tomorrow!" Hermione thought to herself.
"Your welcome. What you been doing today?" asked Tony.
"Homework, chilling and talking on the phone" replied Hermione.
"That's good. You finished?" said Tony.
Hermione said, "Yes" and thanked her Mum, kissed them and went up to her room.
Hermione's room
"Oh my god! That was so close!" Hermione said to herself.
She brushed her teeth, got into her bed, and got her mobile and texted Draco.
Heya! What's up? I'm so tired!
What did your Father say? I hope you didn't get into trouble. I have to tell you something but I will tell you tomorrow, on msn. Can't say it because my texting settings don't allow me to write a lot! A pain! Anyway, I'm going to sleep. Talk to you on msn. Text me when your online! Laters! Hermione xxx
After writing the text, she sented the message, puts her phone away, turned off the light and goes to sleep.
Draco's house
Draco was in bed and was reading until he heard his phone peeping. It was very quite peep, so no one could hear it. Draco got up, got his phone, read the text from Hermione and smiled.
"Okay then. I will text you in the morning so that you can sleep. Talk then, night, night" Draco whispered onto his phone, put his phone down, got back to bed and went to sleep.
