Draco walked slowly down to the kitchens thinking hard about what Ginny had said. He didn't love Hermione. They just…. Got along now! Okay, so maybe she wasn't the bushy haired, bucktoothed beaver anymore, and maybe he thought she was pretty. And so what if he carried her up to bed? That didn't mean he loved her! But there was still something, a feeling, that he got when he saw her. Draco rolled his eyes, he had to stop listening to the Weaselette too much! Without realising it he had reached the portrait to the kitchens. He tickled the pear and stepped into the busy kitchen swarming with house elves.
"Mr Malfoy!" a voice squeaked from bellow. Draco looked down at the small creature. "What can Dobby do for Mr Malfoy tonight?"
"Hello Dobby. Could I please get some corn soup?"
"Oh dear! Is Mrs. Malfoy sick?"
Draco looked at Dobby shocked, first because he had called Hermione 'Mrs. Malfoy' and second of all because he had known the soup was for Hermione.
"No. Just tired." Draco said still in shock
"I see. Dobby will make the soup now. Mr Malfoy can sit down here." Dobby squeaked and pulled out a chair for Draco to sit on.
"Thanks Dobby."
"No one except Mrs Malfoy, says 'thank you' to Dobby before!" he smiled brightly
"How'd you know the soup was for Hermione?" Draco finally asked, curious.
"Ah, Mr Malfoy does not like soup in the summer. Mrs Malfoy will only eat soup in the summer and hates it in the winter. Dobby knows Mr Malfoy will not be the one to eat, so that only leaves Mrs Malfoy. Because Mrs Malfoy is the only one that Mr Malfoy will do such a nice thing for." Dobby said stirring the corn into a pot.
"Wow." Draco said dumbfound
Dobby shrugged his tiny shoulders "Dobby likes Mrs Malfoy very much. She is very nice to me and is helping Dobby talk properly."
"Really?"
Dobby nodded.
"Um, when you said Hermione is the only one that I would do this for…." Draco trailed off
"Dobby knows Mr Malfoy loves Mrs Malfoy very much."
"I- I don't love her!" Draco spluttered
"But Mr Malfoy does. Dobby can see that Mr Malfoy loves Mrs Malfoy."
"I DON'T LOVE HERMIONE!" Draco roared
The tiny house elf looked frightened for a moment but then quickly turned back to the soup.
"Would Mr Malfoy let Mrs Malfoy go? Let her be free, out of marriage?"
"N-yes"
Dobby smiled "Mr Malfoy loves Mrs Malfoy enough to let her go. So Mrs Malfoy can be happy. That is true love."
"Happy?" Draco echoed confused
"Mrs Malfoy does not like being tied down. Mrs Malfoy was extremely hurt when Mr Weasley-" Dobby spat his name "-cheated on her for Ms Brown. Mrs Malfoy came to Dobby and cried 'I will never be with a man ever again! I will never love a man romantically ever again!' Mrs Malfoy was very hurt. Mrs Malfoy is a 'free spirit' Mrs Malfoy does not want to get hurt again." Dobby said solemnly
"Whoa. I-I never knew that! But Hermione said to my Father that she would marry me, she chose to marry me." Draco said
"Because Mrs Malfoy was homeless. Mr Malfoy senior, said he would let her live at Malfoy Manor if Mrs Malfoy married Mr Malfoy."
"Why is it that I don't know about these kinds of things and it my life but a house elf does?" Draco cried
Dobby giggled and handed Draco a bowl of steamy hot corn soup. "Dobby hopes Mrs Malfoy gets better." he said, ushering Draco out of the kitchen.
"Hermione." Draco whispered softly shaking the Gryffindor.
"What?" Hermione mumbled
"You have to eat dinner."
"Dinner? But its-" Hermione glanced at the clock "9 pm"
"You'll be grumpy in the morning if you don't eat something."
"What ever."
"And Harry would be mad at me."
"Harry? Your on a first name basis with him now?" Hermione muttered sitting up. Draco propped up some pillows for her.
"Yeah, he came by to see me today. Wanted talk about you."
"Great. My husband is getting on with my best friend, and they used to be worst enemies, but he wont talk to me?"
"Well he's coming over tomorrow…"
"Hmmmm, well I guess I'll have to go down to the kitchens and get something to eat." Hermione said getting out of bed.
"Oh, no. I actually got you some soup a little while ago, I'll go get it now. You can stay here." Draco said
"Um, thanks?"
"No problem."
They smiled at each other briefly and then Draco walked out of the room and down to the kitchen were the cup of soup was still sitting. Quickly he cast a warming charm and carried it carefully up to the bedroom.
"Here." he said giving the cup to Hermione "Careful. Its hot."
Hermione gasped her face lighting up "Corn soup! I was craving this just a few days ago! Thank you Draco."
"Er, I'm g-going t-to go-go ha-have a-a sh-shower." Draco stammered, he could feel his face heating up
"Okay…?"
Quickly he grabbed his towel and boxers.
"What is wrong with you Draco?" he muttered to himself stepping into the hot shower "its only Hermione!"
"Exactly its Hermione…." a little voice said in his head
"W-what do you mean?'
"You love her…"
"I don't love her!"
"You actually love her!" Ginny's voice cried
"Mr Malfoy loves Mrs Malfoy to let her go….. That is true love….." Dobby's voice said
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP, I DON'T LOVE HER!" Draco roared
There was a light knock on the door and then Hermione's head peeped around
"You OK Draco?" she said softly
"Huh? Oh, um, yeah…" he blushed and then quickly looked down realising he was stark naked
Hermione must have realised too because she blushed bright red.
"Sorry." she muttered looking down at the floor and then quickly shut the door.
When Draco had finished with his shower Hermione had already gone back to sleep.
"I don't love you… Do I?" Draco said softly brushing a stray piece of Hermione's hair out of her face.
He sighed and shrugged.
"Good night." He whispered.
"G'night." Hermione mumbled. Draco turned around shocked. Had she heard him? But when he looked at her, she was fast asleep again, snoring slightly and a ghost of a smiled gracing her lips.
Draco rolled over onto Hermione's side of the bed. Usually Draco would stop because Hermione's body would block him but today he just kept rolling and rolling until….crash! He fell off the bed. Groggily he stood up clutching his head.
"Hermione!" he croaked. Silence. "Hermione!" Draco was getting frantic now. Hermione was never up earlier then him! "HERMIONE!" he bellowed rushing around the dorm. Quickly he grabbed his dressing gown and raced over to Harry and Ginny's dorm. He barged in, not bothering to knock.
"HARRY! GINNY! GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS OUT OF BED AND DOWN HERE NOW!" He shouted
A few moments later a very grumpy red head stomped down the stairs, followed by an equally grumpy Harry.
"What do you want Draco?" Ginny screeched, her flaming red hair was messed up and she looked like a very angry lioness.
"Hermione- missing- can't- find- her- any- where." Draco panted
"What?" Harry growled "You lost her?"
"Well she went off so its not all my fault!" Draco defended
Harry coaxed his head to the side and frowned, sighing he went to the window.
"What are you doing Harry?" Ginny asked
"Its raining." Harry said simply
"So?" Draco asked impatiently
"Hermione dances in the rain." Harry smiled
"Hermione dances in the rain?" Ginny and Draco chorused confused
"If its raining there is only one place you can find Hermione." Harry gestured to the window and Draco and Ginny walked over still confused. They looked out the window and there was Hermione. Her hair was plastered to her face and she was soaking. But most importantly, she was dancing. She tilted her face to the sky and twirled around, oblivious to the two Gryffindors and Slytherin watching her.
Draco blushed as he watched her. Ginny looked at him curiously.
"What happened between you two last night?" she said slyly
"N-nothing!" Draco defended, blushing even more when he remembered last nights events.
"Liar, liar pants on fire!" Ginny chanted under her breath
"What did you do?" Harry growled, whipping his wand out.
"N-nothing!" Draco squeaked
"He realised he loved her!" Ginny said from behind him
"OMG, FOR THE LAST TIME I DO NOT LOVE HER!"
"Did you just say, OMG?" Ginny sniggered
Harry rolled his eyes "If I find out you have hurt Hermione in any way…" He threatened
"I didn't do anything! She was the one who walked in on me having a shower!"
"She. Saw. You. Naked?" Harry hissed
Ginny by this time was rolling on the floor clutching her sides.
"Well yes."
"Prepare to die, ferret boy!"
"B-but she walked in on me!"
"Its never Hermione's fault!" Harry shouted
Draco raised an eyebrow. "Never?"
"Never!"
"Never say never…." Ginny sang under her breath
"Were you singing Justin Bieber?" Harry asked shocked
"Hermione lent me her IPod and she had all of his albums on it…."
"ITS NEVER HERMIONE'S FAULT!"
"Geez, calm down…. Now I am going to go get Hermione before she catches a cold!" Draco announced and ran out of the room, escaping Harry at the same time.
A/N: lol, so how was that?
