I own nothing related to Harry Potter or the songs used in this fiction. I just love Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and was called Hermione in grade school.
Okay, I actually am not a big Miley Cyrus fan but I love this song. Here's Hermione's POV. Thanks to my only reviewer, IGOTEAMEDWARD, I love ya!
I probably shouldn't say this It was awesome but we lost it
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we've shared
It's not possible for me not to care
Now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear
The 7 things I hate about you
The 7 things I hate about you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends they're jerks
And when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And 7th thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
Hermione waited for Malfoy in the Entrance Hall for him to come out. Over the past week, they secretly met at various times in the oddest places. One night after they left each other for the night she began to think about how much their relationship had changed, wondering if they would go back to their old ways. Then they would meet again and she realized how stupid those thoughts were.
When he came into the Hall, they went outside. It was raining, so they'd knew they'd be alone.
She laughed as they ran through the rain, loving the look of pure joy on his face. She led him into the Forbidden Forest. Once they were in the shelter of the trees, she turned to face him as he caught her up in his arms, spinning her around and laughing. She held on tight, leaning her head back, enjoying the spinning sensation and his arms around her. When he set her on her feet she was giggling, he looked at her with those striking grey eyes, causing her giggles to dwindle and eventually wind down to silence. When she had finally stopped, he smiled at her and kissed her. She fell into the kiss, thinking once again back to their old relationship.
-Flash back-
Their second year, which was when Hermione Jean Granger found out that she truly hated and loved Draco Malfoy, and she hated herself for it. He had taken to calling her that fucking word all the time. The word "Mudblood" was the worst name to be called if you were born with non-magic parents as Hermione had been. Ginny Weasley had taken to Hermione that year and followed after the girl almost as much as Ginny had followed Harry (without his knowledge of course).
"Why do you all hate Malfoy so much?" Ginny asked.
"He's a prat! He thinks that everything revolves around him, he treats girls like their shit with his little mind games. Then he goes around asking other Slytherins what they think of him." Hermione rattled, ticking the reasonings off with her fingers.
"Okay, I think I get it." Ginny laughed.
"Oh, I'm not finished yet." Hermione said with a smile. "He loves one girl but likes another."
"Okay, we're on four now but I don't get why that last one is a bad thing."
"When I say 'loves one but likes another', I don't mean like loves a girlfriend but likes the other one as a friend who is a girl'." Hermione said.
"Oh." Ginny said, but Hermione wondered if the eleven year old actually understood her.
"Then, there's just these…these small things he does that make me laugh….he says things that make people cry….I guess that's one of the many things that go both ways."
"Okay." Ginny said, she was slowly glaring at the Slytherin boy.
"Crabbe, Goyle and Zabini are all jerks and I have this feeling that for Malfoy and Zabini that the 'jerk' persona is an act…but still it hurts when they say certain things. It's like people don't like you for how you act, they like you for who you are."
"But some people are how they act." Ginny said, smiling.
"That's true but it's not always the case."
"Hence the word 'some'."
"You have no idea how much it relieves me that you are smarter than Ron." Hermione laughed.
Ginny joined in the laughter before saying. "So anything else about Malfoy?"
"I gave you six reasons…do we really need more?" Hermione asked, blushing slightly.
"I think six is a good number." Ginny said. "I have to go do my Transfiguration homework." She got up to leave.
Hermione looked up and saw Draco looking at her. That seventh thing that I hate about you is that even though I have good reason to hate you…I love you too.
It's awkward and it's silent
as I wait for you to say
what I need to hear now
your sincere apology
and when you mean it, I'll believe it
If you text it, I'll delete it
Let's be clear
I'm not coming back You're taking 7 steps here
"Mione?"
"Hmm?" she said, snapping back to the present.
"I've never seen you so quiet." He said with a laugh.
She smiled. "I was thinking."
"Is that all you ever do?"
"Gods, you sound like Ron." She said, dragging her hand through her wet hair.
"Oh…gotta stop that." He said, looking at his feet. "What were you thinking about?"
"How we used to be."
"You mean being cruel to each other?" he asked, deciding to lean up against a tree.
Hermione nodded. "I'm afraid…I mean, do you ever think we'll go back to that?"
"Well, would it be that bad?" he asked, shrugging his shoulders.
Hermione's head whipped around. "Are you saying that you wanna go back to that?"
"No…but wouldn't it be habit?"
"Whatever, Malfoy, I'm done here." She said, running into the rain back towards the castle.
"Mione!" he called, running after her. "Mione!"
She ignored him, running to the Gryffindor Tower. When she got inside the Common Room she saw Harry sitting on one of the couches.
"Hermione? Are you okay?"
She shook her head 'no', flinging herself into the Gryffindor's arms.
"What did Draco do?" he asked, petting her head gently.
"He s-said it wo-would be e-easier if wuh-we went b-back to-to the wuh-way w-we were!" she sobbed.
"Oh, shit, Hermione." He said, holding her tighter. "I'm sorry."
Harry held her as she cried, until they saw an owl hovering by the window. It was Draco's owl.
Harry got up and let the owl in. Hermione untied it and on the sheet of parchment there were two words: I'm sorry.
Hermione grabbed Harry's quill and wrote on the back. "You're gonna have to do better than that."
"Thanks, Harry." She said, heading towards the Girl's Dormitories. She needed sleep.
The Next Day….
She felt Draco's eyes bearing into her. She looked up at him and saw the expression on his face. He looked heartbroken. She felt the urge to run to him and engulf him in a hug. But before she got a chance to talk herself out of it he came marching over to the Gryffindor table.
Oh, fuck, what is he going to do?
The 7 things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
And when we kiss, I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine
When we're intertwined everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you
"Mione."
"Yes, Malfoy."
"Oh, for the love of Nyx**, cut the crap!" he said, pulling her to her feet. She let out a slight 'eep!', falling into his chest.
Looking around, she saw that the entire school was looking at them. Draco looked at them and bellowed. "I'm only going to say this to you all once, so listen."
He turned back to Hermione.
"Hermione Jean Granger….I love you."
The students let out various noises but Draco glared at them and made them shut up.
"I love how this one curl of hair always strays into your eyes, I love how your eyes change from dark to light brown in the sunlight." He said, cupping her cheek lightly.
"When we go out and you're wearing Muggle clothes…whenever we kiss I feel like I'm walking around in a daze. You've been my only reason to smile since third year and when you left me in the Forest yesterday, I'm not ashamed to tell you that I cried like a five year old who lost his mother in the store."
He was rambling but Hermione was so touched by what he was doing that she didn't have the heart to stop him.
"I love the feel of your hand in mine." He said, taking her hand in his own and bringing it to his lips. "It makes me feel…well, hope, that everything'll be alright."
He smiled at her. "I love you and…well…I was hoping…that since we'll be out of here soon…well…I was uh…."
"Spit it out, Draco."
He sighed, got down and said "Hermione Jean Granger….will you marry me?"
Hermione sat down on the bench, her mouth hanging open. Ginny, who was sitting next to her, closed it.
"Mione?"
She stood back up, with the help of Ginny and said "Draco Lucius Malfoy…" She pulled him to his feet and threw her arms around him. "Of course I will!"
She felt her feet leave the ground as he spun her around laughing. She couldn't remember the last time she was so happy.
** Nyx is the primordial goddess of night in Greek Mythology. Her consort is Erebus, the primeval of darkness. Her mother is Chaos. Her siblings are: Erebus, Gaia, Tartarus, and Eros and her two known sons are Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death)**
So you got a new chapter and a mythology lesson.
