Draco just pulled Hermione into a hug right? Okay!
Hermione buried her face in Draco's neck, "What are we going to do? You will never be happy with me."
"Let me decide that," he held her closer as music began to play magically once again. "Granger, you're bloody beautiful."
The song played softly and Hermione and Draco held each other tenderly.
And to the ones in which we sing,
We are honored you let us in
I remember the thoughts of many things,
Of the glory that you bring
I was never the right one to dare to dream,
It's funny what this life has done to me now
You were always the only,
To help me see there was a road I must find,
A road that was mine
But I'm down to my last,
I'm standing here alone
Looking back, on it all
But I'm down to my last,
I'm ready but I'm wrong,
And I'm blind to it all
And to the world to which we sing,
Want to try to do us in
I remember your name and I know your face
Can't forgive and can't erase
I was never the right one
To bear the weight of something fueled by words
I'd learn to hate
You were always the only
To help me see that to love is to shine
In your world, blind
But I'm down to my last
I'm standing here alone
Looking back on it all
But I'm down to my last
I'm ready but I'm wrong
And I'm right to it all
But I'm down to my last
Well I'm ready but I'm wrong,
And I'm scared of it all
But I'm down to my last
I'm ready but I'm wrong
And I'm blind to it all
But I'm down to my last
And I'm ready but I'm wrong
And I'm blind to it all
Draco led Hermione to a table that had appeared sometime during the song. He seated her and smiled as food appeared, just as it did in the Great Hall. She smiled slightly and ate sparingly, "Thank you again for being so kind, Draco."
"You make it sound like you are saying good-bye," a frown maring his fine features. "Please don't do that. I've just found you."
"Draco, we can't ever work," she was close to tears again. "It's been wonderful, but no one would accept it. Maybe they would for you, but my friends would never forgive me."
He was angry now, "Fine, Hermione, I won't bother you anymore. I can see how much this meant to you. I was willing to throw away all that I've been raised on for you, and you won't make your friends accept this. I understand. Thank Ginny for me. The evening was lovely."
Hermione saw him change in that instant, he was back to the old cold Draco. She watched him walk out of the tower doors. She put on her mask and ran back to her dorm with tears streaming down her face. Ginny was asleep on Hermione's bed. Hermione took off the mask and gingerly laid it in the box it belonged in and then took the dress off quickly. She undid her hair magically and got into the bath. She laid in the water crying for what seemed like hours.
Finally Ginny woke up and walked into the bathroom. She saw Hermione's poofy eyes and helped her out of the bath and into a towel, " 'Mione what happened?"
"I-I told him it wouldn't work," she sobbed. "He got so mad and then just left."
"Oh 'Mione, I really think you two might have worked," she shook her head. "Everything is different now without he-who-must-not-be-named is gone. Draco really seemed to be changed."
"Harry and Ron never would have accepted it," Hermione sniffled. "Draco isn't the kind to be tied down anyways, and I don't want to be an option, I want to be his only."
Ginny shook her head sadly, "Well 'Mione I'm going to go back to my room. I will see you in the morning. Get some rest."
"Okay, thanks Gin," Hermione smiled the slightest bit. "I'll see you in the morning."
Hermione got dressed and brushed her hair out before going back into the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she bent over to spit out the toothpaste and raised up again she found a very unlikely visitor behind her in the mirror.
Okay that's all for that folks! I will try to update soon! Much love! Jess
