" So he loves her?" Ginny asked in amazement.
" Apparently. He says he has for a while," Blaise says with a shrug. " I knew he liked her in school, but I didn't know his feelings went that deep."
" I suppose they would have had to be that deep, if he has been holding onto them this long."
" Well I know Draco well and I know he has never been in love with anyone else besides himself. This is huge knowing that he has loved someone this long, and is finally getting what he wants."
" I just hope he doesn't do anything to hurt Mione. I will use his balls as a quaffle."

It was a chilly day in Diagon Alley, with each breath Draco took, little a puffs escaped his lips. He was on his way to the bookstore to purchase Hermione the newest edition of Hogwarts: A History. This one had a feature of her in it, for her heroism in the war. He knew that she didn't like the attention, but thought it would be nice for her to have. If anything, she would ignore the feature and look at the rest of the book, it was her favorite after all.
He also knew that this was her favorite book store. During school, while everyone else was going into Honeydukes, he saw her break away from her friends and go into the store. As he would leave the Three Broomsticks, he would see her leaving the store hours later.
Draco remembered the first time he realized that he had feelings for the Gryffindor. He was teasing her relentlessly, as usual, then a fellow Slytherin joked that he liked her. The guys in his house wouldn't drop it, so it was constantly on his mind. He was trying to come up with some way to get them to pay for all the ridiculous accusations, when it occurred to him, that he might actually. After time, those feelings of infatuation increased, to where everything she did, made him love her more.
He was jostled out of his thoughts, by someone who ran into him and wasn't too surprised to see the tall man standing in front of him, with a shock of red hair on the man's head.
" Watch where you're walking Weasel!"
" Oh, I was watching, I just thought I would rattle your cage," he said with a sneer that could rival his.
" You can't rattle me."
" When I get Hermione back, lets see if that is true."
" Keep dreaming Weasel. She will never take your ugly ass back, especially when she has a real man in her life."
" I don't see a real man around, just a ferret!" He yelled, turning as bright red as the hair on his head.
" You really think that insult hurts me? You have been using the same insult since school, it no longer bothers me."
" Well, she will get sick of your act sooner or later and then she is going to come crawling back to me. She has really lowered her standards if she's with you."
" Anything is a step up from you," that is when the other man threw a punch and hit Draco square in the jaw. He had to give it to Ron, he sure could hit. " Nice hit, but I am not going to fight you Weasel."
Draco turned to walk away, but felt something surge through his body. It was quite painful. Draco fell to the ground in pain. He reached for his wand, standing, and threw a curse back at the red head. His whole body went still and the other man fell to the ground.
" Now, since you cannot move, but I know you can listen. Hermione will never take you back, she doesn't want to see your lying cheating ass. I don't ever want to see you again, you know what I am capable of, and I will not hesitate to use what I know."
Draco could feel his old self boiling to the surface and he didn't like it. He didn't like the man he used to be and he worked so hard to prove to everyone around him, that he wasn't that person anymore. He wanted to be a good man for Hermione. He wanted to deserve her. But this side of him was always under the surface.
He undid the binding curse he had placed on Ron as he left the bookstore. He knew the spell wouldn't wear off for hours and didn't want to leave that mess up to the store clerk. Once he got to the apparition point, he went back to his apartment. He just hoped that this wouldn't cause any issue with Hermione.
