thank you so much for all of the reviews!!

Ok… so I know that two weeks have not passed yet, not even one for that matter. But I am now seating on a very comfortable sofa in a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous country. Unfortunately, it's now raining buckets outside. So thank the Rain God for this chapter lol.

Chapter 11 ¨Inner Thoughts¨

Draco sat quietly staring off into space as everybody else ate. He tried his best to neither look at Hermione nor at Bella.

He felt horrible for what he had done to Bella. It wasn't that he has over reacted, because he was so sure that he had enough reason to talk to her like that. But not to touch her.

If there was something the Malfoy men never did was touch a woman like that. That was the first thing his father had taught him. The man might have been wrong about all of his other conclusions, but not about that one.

A man should never put his hands on a woman. And although it was so unlike Draco, he wanted to apologize.

That was the true reason why he was avoiding Bella; he didn't know how to apologize. But when he thought about the reason why he was avoiding Hermione, he couldn't come up with a better answer than the one that said he was scared.

He didn't know of what though. Well actually he did. And once he thought it over he came to the conclusion that he wasn't exactly scared, he was actually worried.

Last night, after Hermione had left the balcony, Draco had walked out of the cabin. He didn't come back until late, when the other three leaders were already asleep.

When he saw Hermione laying down, peacefully sleeping, he had felt his heart clench.

He had stared at her for quite a while, thinking of what possibilities he had for a girl like Hermione Granger to fall in love with him.

He became worried when he remembered that he had thought to himself that he was not the kind of guy Hermione needed, nor the one she would want.

He sighed. He was scared because he was afraid to be rejected by Hermione, and he was worried because he felt the need to get away from her to not hurt her.

He was surprised at his thoughts. He had never thought of a girl like that, no matter how beautiful or sweet the girl was t him.

´I'm not that type of girl.´ he remembered what she had said to him. And she was right. She wasn't the type of girl Draco so desperately wanted to see in her to get her out of his head. But instead he had managed to not only keep her in his head, but to place her in his heart and soul too.

He shook his head at the nonsense of it all.

Hermione looked up to find Draco shaking his head absently as if he was trying real hard to keep a thought out of his mind. A small frown formed between his eyebrows.

Hermione looked away quickly. She wondered why he had been quiet the whole day. He hadn't even directed an insult to her. That meant Draco was sick, or was probably suffering from some very harsh disease.

Hermione knew there was something wrong with him. But after last night, she didn't know how to bring it up.

She was afraid to get close to him. She was worried that she would get too involved and end up hurt.

But mostly she was curious. It was as if part of her told her that she couldn't leave the mystery unsolved. She had to go in, no matter what.

She wanted to know if she was in his thoughts. And if she was, she wanted to know why.

Hermione shook her head ever so slightly, trying to erase the absurd thoughts that were crossing her head and somehow giving her hopes too.

Draco saw Hermione move out of the corner of his eye. He turned to look at her and caught her gaze.

Hermione gasped silently as she made eye contact with Draco.

They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, both deliberating what to do with what they felt, what to do with all the insults and words that have flown from one to the other.

But most importantly, both thought of what to do with the words that had yet to be spoken.

Bwuahaha!!

So really short I know. But I leave tomorrow evening, so there is no way that the stupid rain is ruining my vacations. After all, im used to the rain and have grown to love it. So I'm going to go outside and live the life while you suffer because of my terribly short chapter. Lol

Just kidding. I will probably update by either tonight, or by tomorrow's dawn. Who knows? Heehee.

the intentions of this chapter were to somehow understand what it is that they are both feeling. I´m sorry if its ooc, but come on people, this is fanfiction, if they were in character, Hermione and Draco would so not be together.

But anyways.

Review?

Yours,
