That Was Weird
Chapter 10
DRACO'S P.O.V.
I turned around to leave, thinking that there was no way in hell she would still be there. Who would wait for hours for me? It's not like she loved me or anything. I had turned around and was about to walk away when I heard a door creak open behind me and a surprised voice say my name.
"Draco?" she asked. It was Hermione. I wasn't sure how long she had been waiting in the Room of Requirement and I just stood there for a while, afraid to turn around. Her eyes were boring into my back and I was scared. Can you believe that? The great Draco Malfoy, SCARED?
"Draco, look at me!" she commanded. Her voice sounded hurt and fearful. I slowly turned around and looked at her. My eyes connected with her gaze that had not too long ago been on my back. I looked her over and noticed something. She was wearing makeup. Her eyelashes looked long and full and her lips were pink and glossy. I also noticed that her face was tear-stained. She had wanted to look good for me but instead now the makeup was smudged and her mascara was running. But she still looked beautiful to me.
"I'm sorry I'm late," I said. I don't know why I was sorry but I was. I guess it was because she looked so beautiful but let me tell you, I've never apologized to anyone in my entire life. I was shocked at my own words but I didn't want to take them back. I was happy that I had said it. She deserved my apology.
"I know," she whispered. "Do you want to come in the room?" she asked. The door still hadn't been shut and she was still standing in the doorway. I walked towards her and pushed her backwards so we were in the room. I looked around and it was gorgeous.
"You must have thought long and hard about how you wanted the room to be," I commented, viewing the Oriental Rug that we were standing on. It was a wonderful sight. Everything seemed to shimmer and there was music in the background. It was the sound of the harp. "Shall we dance?"
I extended my hand for her to take and she did so. We walked to the middle of the room and she wrapped her arms around me. My arms went around her waist and it amazed me to see how well they fit around her. It was a slow dance and we swayed back and forth holding each other close. I knew at that point that everything had changed.
When the song was over, a new song began but this one was more upbeat. It was actually some muggle song. She turned around and began to grind with me. Her arms wrapped behind her and around my neck. We danced sensually and as she continued to grind, I felt myself losing control. She was making me hard and I couldn't take it.
I flipped her around and kissed her as the music continued. It was a hungry kiss, as if I was starving. I kissed her like the world was about to end. I held her so close to show her I would never let her go.
"Wait," she said breathlessly. "We need to talk." She always wanted to talk. I have no idea why. Every time we talked, we fought. One way or another, we fought.
She led me to the couch and we sat down. "Is there a bathroom around here?" I asked. She pointed to a door on the side of the room and I ran in. I quickly ran the cold water of the shower and hopped in.
HARRY'S P.O.V.
I knew Hermione had gone to meet Malfoy. It was obvious that she felt something for him. I was hurt but in all honesty, I was okay with it. I wasn't really sure what had gotten into me in the first place. When did I start thinking of Hermione as more than just a friend? I saw the mark that I had left on her neck and I knew what had happened.
When I was kissing her, I felt something inside me. It was Voldemort. I was the only who knew the truth, at least besides Death Eaters and Dumbledore. He was still alive. I had not been able to kill him and now I was paying for my weakness. He was trying to get into my mind and at that moment, I had let my guard down. Just as he had transferred his powers to me, I had transferred my powers to her. Not that she needed the powers. Actually, she probably already had more than enough power as it was. She was one of the most powerful witches to ever come to Hogwarts - along with the smartest.
I'll bet she didn't even know that I transferred powers to her but I did. Malfoy probably caught on but I know she didn't. Not that she's not smart enough, but I don't think she really wanted to dwell on the event too much otherwise she would have caught on.
I think that she was genuinely repulsed by it. She must hate me now. I wouldn't blame her. I was a total ass. I had heard her tell me to stop but I couldn't. I tried to but I couldn't. It was like I was under the Imperious Curse. I heard Voldemort inside of me telling me to take her and I guess I wasn't strong enough to ignore him. When she kneed me, it was probably the best thing that she ever did. Only the Gods know how far I would have gone.
I wish though that I could blame it all on Voldemort but deep down I know that I've wanted her for the longest time, even before Cho. Hermione is gorgeous and sexy and the best part about her is that she doesn't even know it. She never realizes how damn beautiful she is. Gods, she's so amazing.
Dear Diary,
We were dancing, grinding more like. I knew he was 'enjoying' the way I was dancing and so I stopped. I didn't want to go too far. I mean, I knew I was going to go all the way with him, as always, but I wanted to talk FIRST.
He ran to the bathroom to 'cool' off. He must have guessed that our conversation was going to take a while so he needed to fix the problem I created before he could even sit down. While he was gone, I just sat there, thinking about what I was going to say.
He returned fairly soon, looking a little disappointed. "Next time you start something, you had better be prepared to finish it," he said with a smirk while taking the seat next to me.
"My sincerest apologies," I said sarcastically. "So why did you come here tonight?" I asked, not wanting to waste time.
He rolled his eyes and looked annoyed as he tried to think of an answer that wouldn't make me too angry. "I came because I didn't want to never sleep with you again," he replied. I think that was his way of saying 'I have feelings for you.' I doubted that he would ever admit that.
"Do you want a relationship?" I asked, trying to get as much out of him as possible.
Draco sighed and replied, "A relationship is something I don't know if I'm ready for. I mean that I don't know if I'm ready to have a relationship with ANYONE right now. But if I was going to commit myself to someone..."
I knew it. He wasn't ready for what I was asking for. I stood up and walked over to the door. "Please just leave now," I said angrily. I was ready for more, I DESERVED more and he couldn't offer it to me.
"Hermione, please don't do this!" he begged. "I don't know what you want from me! I can't offer any more than this," and then he kissed me. I pushed him away and ran to the other side of the room.
"A kiss! That's all you can offer me! Sex? I need more than that and I'm beginning to think I'd be better off finding it in Harry!"
"Hermione, listen to me..." he growled with annoyance.
"At least Harry is honest about how he feels. He knows he wants me and he would admit it if I let him. He's willing to be whatever I want to be with him. If I wanted to be friends with benefits, he would settle. If I wanted to go out with him, he'd be happy. And now that I said all I wanted was to be friends, I guarantee that sooner or later he'll come back and apologize, accepting whatever he can get. But not you. All you want is one thing and that's sex. You don't want anything else from me." I turned to walk out the door but then I turned back, figuring he would need a little more than that. "And I'm sick of it. It's over Draco. We're done. Don't come for me again."
And then I left.
Until another day, diary,
Hermione
