Draco Point Of View
"Ya we decided it isn't working."
The words from my friends mouth instantly made my day feel better.
"You broke up?" I asked shocked.
"Ya, I mean... ya" he shrugged and turned going back to his potions essay.
Figured Theo wouldn't want to say anything.
"Can I ask why?" asked Blaise.
"Well we both were just... rebounds. We didn't notice until after that we weren't actually over someone." he said, staring at Blaise as he said it. As if sharing a secret message.
I must be an idiot. Because even as he said it, I didn't know what he meant by it.
"Ya well were still friends, nothing can change that."
I shrugged it off. What did he mean by that. Rebounds? Over them? Did Granger already have a crush on some other guy. Hopefully not another one of my room mates.
"So you guys want to go down and get a snack." asked Blaise.
"Ya man apparently since the weather outside is so terrible they decided to make some'warming' foods. Whatever that means." scoffed Theo. He put his belongings away and stood up.
"You coming Drake?"
"Ya I am."
'Okay good, thought we lost you for a minute." the two chuckled.
It was good to have my friends back. No joke. It was great no longer having that twinge of jealousy everytime I looked at Theo. Or looking at him with Hermione.
I shook my head, wanting to get rid of the thoughts.
"So because it was cold out they've decided to make a huge feast."
"Because its the first actual cold day."
"Some first years are saying they saw snow."
"It's not even close to snow."
"I know, so everyone thinks there lying."
"Typical first years." chuckled Theo.
"we were first years." said Blaise.
"Ya but we weren't stupid first years." I added.
It went silent between us three, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Rather settiling.
We walked into the Great Hall and sat down. In front of us was all this food, delicous looking food.
"Wow they weren't joking."
"Ya kinda crazy eh?"
I looked up and looked at the Gryffindor table. She wasn't there yet.
"Hey Theo, Blaise, Malfoy."
We turned around and there she stood, her hair in a braid on her shoulder.
My two friends hugged her, and I gave her a nod. I didn't think I could hug her. Atleast not yet.
Her gaze lingered on me for a minute longer than intended.
Was that god or bad.
I felt like a love struck idiot once again.
And it felt terrible.
She gave us all a smile before heading towards her table for dinner.
I really missed it.
All of her, of us, of everything we used to have.
Why couldn't we have that once more?
Oh right because I ruined it all by breaking here heart.
Well with that attitude. I mentally growled.
I looked at her before walking to the table.
And once again I couldn't help it.
It wasn't like I wanted to make her uncomfortable with my eyes contantly flashing to look at her.
It was just a habit.
A very bad, unhealthy, addicting habit.
Could you even call it that? Staring at a girl no matter how much you didn't want to.
Yes, I guess I could. Because I couldn't help it.
She had actually become my everything.
And it terrified me.
Hermione Point Of View
Why was he still staring at me. If he honestly thought I wouldn't notice, he was wrong.
Way wrong. He had probably been told Theo and I were no longer together.
But staring at me right after, was not something I expected any Malfoy to do.
Wasn't there rules as to what Malfoys good and couldn't do. Like beg, say please, do things that they just were never taught. That was never in there blood.
Aha that was right. Dating a muggle born was one of those things.
"Hey you alright?"
I looked up, shot out of my daze.
"Fine." I said, smiling.
"You sure, you seemed kind of... out of it." said Ginny.
"I'm fine guys, really." I tried to look convincing, but one look at Harrys face and I knew he knew what I was thinking about.
What I couldn't really stop thinking about.
.Malfoy.
He was on my mind, and I couldn't help it.
I should just go make up with him. Or atleast try to get on good terms.
We hadn't really talked after the break up just, looked at each other, and said our surnames.
No more. No less.
It was quite pathetic really knowing that after everything we had been through neither of us had the decency to talk to each other after everything that happened.
Well that was us. The stupid teenagers that acted like they knew what they were doing, only to step into a battlefield.
A battlefield we were not expecting.
"Hermione, are you sure your alright?"
I shook my head, I could not keep tuning out like this.
"Fine, perfect actually. Can you pass me the rolls?" I asked Ron.
He nodded and passed it over, not even giving me a second look.
Of course, I had forgotten. There was food around him.
"So you and Theo are no more?" asked Ginny, taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.
"Yea, Theo and I decided it would be better to just be friends." I said, sending her a glare, hoping she understood what I meant.
"Really Mione, another Slytherin you broke up with?" said Ron, his eyebrows cocked up, for once not talking with his mouth full.
"I did not break up with him!." I said, flabbergasted.
"We both decided it was not working." I said, still feeling the aftershock on me.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to blame it all on you." he said, looking down sheepishly.
"No worries." I said, sending him a small smile.
He smiled back, and went back to his food.
Typical Ron.
I pushed my plate away, finally famished.
"I'm going to my dorm." I announced.
I got to my room and closed the door. Sighing.
How would I talk to Malfoy.
I looked around and I looked at Ginny's owl.
It never hurt. Could it?
But before I could over analyse my predicament I was tying the letter to her leg and letting her out the window, telling her to send it directly to Draco Malfoy.
SO I know it's been a while since my last update, but the pressue got to me during school, and I had two tests right after each other so I was studying like crazy.
Thanks so much to my readers. And I hope that I update soon. :D
Please review and let me know what you think!
