Tears: a Dramione story

Chapter 3

Hermione sat stiffly through the prefects meeting, explaining through gritted teeth what they were required to do. She loathed Draco Malfoy at that moment, his smirk always present on his face. She caught him staring at her once or twice, and was actually surprised when he said things which were accurate. Once the others were gone, she pointedly ignored him and brought out of her bag parchment and a quill.

Dear Harry,

Yes, I know I just said goodbye to you like two seconds ago, but I already miss you. It's just not the same to be on this train without you and Ron.

She paused, well aware of the Head Boy's eyes on her. Moments later, she set her quill back to her parchment again.

Harry, Draco Malfoy is Head Boy.

That summer, Harry and herself had testified for Narcissa and Draco at their trial. They hadn't for Lucius, but Narcissa told the dark lord he was dead, lied to him basically, and Draco had lowered his wand on the astronomy tower that night. So Hermione and Harry went, presented their memories and left again. Hermione never expected to see him again. Both of them were freed from all charges, (well duh if The Chosen One testified for them) but they were still shunned by most of the wizarding society. I mean, being a death eater doesn't get forgiven that easily.

Love,

Hermione

She opened Apollo's cage, and let him fly off with the letter. Malfoy watched her the whole time with that same infuriating smirk. So she stood up and was going to leave the compartment when he grabbed her wrist. She gasped, spun around and had her wand pointed at his throat before you can say expelliarmus.

He simply raised an eyebrow and let go of her hand.

"Good, granger, you're getting better" he drawled. "But you're still too slow," he added, pointing to where his wand was placed in his left hand, pointing at her as well.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" She practically growled, hating the smirk even more.

"Iwantedtosaythankyou" he mumbled like a little boy.

"Sorry what was that?" She asked, smirking herself now.

"I wanted to say thank you" he said, meeting her eyes with his own, her beautiful warm chocolate eyes.

"What for?"

"You sorta saved me from being put in Azkaban"

"Oh, that"

"Yes, that"

"Well it was mostly Harry"

"But it was you too"

"Ok then, you're welcome" she turned to leave but he cleared his throat. She was surprised he wanted to talk more, she thought it must have been hard enough to say thank you to a mudblood.

"Yes?" She asked, a thinly plucked eyebrow raised.

"Well, I was thinking maybe we could start over?" He shifted his weight to bounce on the balls of his feet nervously as she stood with her mouth wide open.

"Yeah, ok, you can stop trying to impersonate a fish now." He snapped, and she shrunk back, hurriedly closing her mouth.

"Yeah, ok. Why not. I mean you're Head Boy and I'm head Girl so we're gonna have to work together, right? So yeah, sure. Uh, see you around, Draco."

Then she turned and left the compartment, trying her hardest not to let her hips sway. She stood outside and lent against the wall, trying to control her breathing. What? Draco Malfoy had just asked if they could start over? And what the hell had taken her over to the point that she called him Draco? Sighing and involuntarily shaking slightly, she walked back to the youngest Weasleys compartment.

Draco froze when she said his name. It slipped between her lips like she would say 'cupcakes', it had sounded so innocent and pure, something he had never thought his name could sound like. He watched, mouth agape as she turned, brown hair swinging over her shoulder, and left the compartment, hips swaying.

"Sure, Hermione," he whispered to himself.

"WHAT?" Ginny yelled, making Luna dreamily look up at her.

"YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT DRACO FUCKING MALFOY TALKED TO YOU AND WANTED TO START OVER AND YOU JUST STOOD THERE!"

"Calm yourself, Ginny. He just said we should start over, probably cos' he's head boy and all and I'm head gi-"

"LIKE I CARE! HAVE YOU SEEN HIS FACE? HES THE SLYTHERIN SEX GOD AND YOU JUST STOOD THERE?"

"Ginny, I don't think that Hermione is particularly interested in Malfoy's love life, you know. I've always thought that he was rather infected by wrackspurts"

*deep breaths*

"Ok, so, YOU REALIZE YOU'RE GONNA SHARE A FUCKING DORM WITH HIM?"

At this point, Neville, looking disgusted at Ginny's train of thought and, covering his ears, left the compartment.

Hermione sighed and prepared for a long train ride to Hogwarts, exchanging a look with Luna when Ginny continued rambling on.

"And OMG you're gonna live like, right in front of him, and have you seen how strong Quidditch has left him? And do you think he noticed me? Oh, right yeah, I'm not interested, I've got Harry, but still! He's Malfoy! That gorgeously blonde guy who like has every girl falling at his feet! OMG, OMG, do you think he's gonna try something with you? I mean you're gonna fucking be living with each other! And.."

So that was Hermione's train ride back to Hogwarts.

Draco's, contrarily to hers, was spent in complete silence.
