Second Chances 6
Hermione POV
Everything I said to Ron today was the truth. Down to me being in love with Draco. I don't think Draco realizes that though. I am going to have to tell him. No pressure.
Draco POV
We got back to the common room a few minute after Weasel's little blow up/break down thing. Hermione went to take a shower, so I stayed in the common room. I heard the hiss of the water from the shower. I got up and went to the kitchen to make some tea. I turned the kettle on and boiled enough water for the both of us.
About ten minutes later, the shower turned off and I was drinking my tea at the kitchen table. I left Hermione's tea on the stove so it wouldn't get cold. I heard Hermione's footsteps draw closer to the kitchen. When she entered the kitchen I didn't expect her to be in short shorts and a tank top. Why was she in her pjs? I looked at the clock. Oh. It was that late already?
She sat across from me at the two chaired table. I rose from my seat and got her her tea of the stove top. I gave it to her, she said thanks and we sat in silence, drinking tea. She suddenly looked up at me. Did she look… nervous?
"Draco, I meant what I said." Hermione stated a moment later. I stared at her in befuddlement. What had she said that she meant that she was telling me?
"About what?" I asked her, while sipping my tea. She looked a bit annoyed that I didn't understand right away.
"About being in love with you. I meant that. Not for the sake of the fake relationship." She explained in a rush. I almost didn't hear what she said. She actually meant that? Really?
I jumped up and practically yelled "YES!" Then remembered I needed to seem cool about this and sat back down like I hadn't just acted totally crazy. "I love you too, Hermione. And I mean that. I want a real relationship with you." I told her sincerely. She smiled a wide, beautiful pure Hermione smile and stood up. She walked over to me and sat down on my lap. She started kissing me and I gladly complied.
Hermione's hand eventually made its way up under my shirt. I moaned and I felt Hermione smile against my lips. She removed her hand from under my shirt (to my displeasure) and began unbuttoning my shirt. I picked her up and carried her to my room, never breaking the kiss except for air.
LINE BREAK
Hermione POV
I woke up the next morning in Draco's room. On his bed. His arms were wrapped around my (fully clothed) waist. I twisted in his arms to look at him. He was shirtless but still in his sweat pants from yesterday. I was still in my shorts and tank top.
Draco looked so peaceful went he slept. Today was our first day as a roper, real couple. He had told me he loved me and I told him the same. I am so glad Ron had cheated on me. (That sounds bad) Without that, Draco and I would never have been a together.
Draco is a better boyfriend in every way. Ron's a good friend but not Hermione Granger boyfriend material. Draco, on the other hand, is intelligent, kind (now); he is gentle and endearing towards me and doesn't seem tempted by any other girls. Ron was a bumbling idiot who called me crude pet names. I hope Lavender enjoys that.
Draco stirred beside me. He tightened his grip on my waist, making sure I was still there. He snuggled his face into my neck. "Good morning, Beautiful." Draco mumbled into my hair. What did I say about endearing? I love it. I love him.
I turned my whole body to face him. "Good morning Handsome." I whispered to him. He opened his eyes slowly to the sound of my voice. He smiled at me and kisses me. "We are going to be late to breakfast" I say between kisses. He smirked.
"We can eat here" Draco replied. I rather like that idea.
LINE BREAK
Hermione POV
Draco and I eventually got up and ate breakfast. We had toast with marmite on top. We talked about our new relationship. I wonder if Harry and Ron noticed my absence. Ginny probably did and will most likely assume. She will probably be right with her assumption.
A little while later, Draco and I got dressed into our robes. It was almost time for potions. We walked to potions hand-in-hand. Time to face Ron and Harry again. I only have to be worried if they noticed my absence. I'm not sure what they would come up with in their minds, for the reason I wasn't at breakfast.
END CHAPTER 6
Thanks for reading! Do any of you know what marmite is? It is a British spread you put on toast. It is really good! Hope you liked this chapter and I will post soon! Love all the readers out there!
