Chapter 7

Realizing the truth

The last 2 weeks of summer went by in a flash. Draco and Hermione talked everyday about getting back together, but Hermione just wasn't sure. He had broken her heart 3 times already and she didn't want it to happen again. Ya he wrote a song for her, but Draco was unpredictable. You never knew what he was really thinking.

They had been back at school for 3 weeks already and nothing had become of Draco and Hermione. They would hang out and flirt a lot, but that was all. At night he was always busy with Quidditch or homework.

Hermione had decided that she was going to give Draco another chance with her heart, and she was tired of waiting around for him to make the first move. So she told herself that after the first quidditch game she would talk to him, and that's what she did. "Draco, we need to talk." Hermione said trying to get him away from the Slytherin sluts.

"Ok, girls leave." Then he followed Hermione to the edge of the forbidden forest.

Hermione turned towards Draco looking up into his dazzling blue eyes 'This is going to be harder then I thought'. She took a deep breath, "Draco, I need to know if anything is going to happen between us, cause I don't want to be wasting my time?" she was now able to look him in the eye.

"Hermione, I don't know…." He told her.

"Ok." Then she just walked away and made her way up to her dormitory. 'God how could I have been such a fool' she thought as she flopped down on her bed.

Just then Ginny and Jennifer walked into the dorm, "Hey 'Mione. How did it go?" Ginny asked. She and Jennifer had never really like the idea of Hermione and Draco getting back together, but they supported her decision.

"Well I asked him if anything was going to happen because I didn't want to waste my time and all he said was 'I don't know.' So that to me is ya you're wasting your time, so I'm going to move on. Which is something I should have done a while ago." She told them, with tears in her eyes. "How could I have been so stupid guys?"

"It's not your fault Hermione. Do you know what Draco's problem is?" Hermione shook her head. "He flirts too much. He'll flirt with everyone, and that makes the person think that he has feelings for them."

"God I hate what he has done to me. I always get hurt by him every time, he is never the one hurt, it's always me. For once I want him to feel some pain. I want him to cry, I want him to be pissed off, I want him to feel like shit. I want him to feel everything I am feeling right now. For once in his life I want him to feel like that. I should have listened to everyone who said that he would hurt me, they were right, but I thought he had changed. But no, he's still the same old Draco who doesn't care about anyone but himself." Hermione vented, tears streaming down her face.

"And you've seen that now. Do not feel stupid honey, for not seeing it before. Be thankful you have seen it now. Now you can truly move on and find someone who can fulfill you, and who will love you. You will be loved." Jennifer told her.

'I just thought he was better then that, that maybe he had changed. Ya I can understand that he doesn't want to ruin our friendship, but he's ruined me. He's ruined the love that I had for him and the respect."

"I know you are hurting tremendously right now, but you need time to move on, and you need others to help you. To make it easier and a more enjoyable process. It will happen though. As for Draco, he doesn't know what he's missing out on." Ginny told her.

"Ya, I'm just glad I have my friends. Ya everyone will still hang out with Draco, and I'm not asking them not to. But I need space to think, to get over him, to move on with my life."

"Yes you need space and time to think. You need that first, and then you can begin your process of moving on. Remember that saying, 'That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger!' Well this will not kill you, this will renew you. It will be hard, but it will make you a stronger person." Ginny and Jennifer hugged Hermione then left her to her thoughts.

And that's what happened Hermione moved on from Draco and found someone else. She was loved again, and this time it worked out. She and Draco talk off and on, but they remand friends.
