Hermione X Draco
I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter 11 : He Can't Know The Truth
(Hermione's POV)
I woke up the next morning feeling a bit strange, but I shrugged it off as if was nothing. I am sure that I am just over reacting. What I was feeling was probably nervousness, I mean I had no idea what Draco was planning. I can't seem to understand him either, it is literally like one minute he wants to make everything okay between and then the next minute he hates everything about me. Just like last night he wanted to make up for everything that he done wrong, but who is to say that he won't go right back to being a jerk once again. I shook my head to rid myself of the thoughts and stood up to get ready. Once I was ready I went downstairs to see that Draco was waiting for me. I walked over to him and he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"You ready to get breakfast and get classes over with?" He asked.
"Yeah, I am definitely ready to eat, not ready for classes." I laughed.
"Well I mean you do have to attend classes. It's Tuesday so you don't have long, If I am correct you don't have classes Friday." Draco said.
"I still 3 days though." I said.
"Alright, well if you want to we can go on a picnic tonight after classes." Draco offered.
"Are you asking me on a date?" I asked a bit shocked.
"Yes, I am Mrs. Malfoy." Draco replied.
"Well then Mr. Malfoy I think that would be wonderful Idea." I replied and leaned into him.
He pulled me into a kiss before I could say anything, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer. His hands left my waist and began traveling my body, and he groped my breast, but this time for some reason I did not stop him. He continued his ministrations and small moan escaped my lips, but I couldn't pull away for some reason. Something dark inside me wanted to keep going and let my passions consume me, but I couldn't let this go any further. I felt his travel to the hem of my shirt and before I knew it his bare hands were against my bare breast and then he pulled away and looked at me.
"I am sorry, I know you aren't. I really don't know what came over me just now." Draco said and hung his hand.
"Don't worry about it, I could have pulled away, but I didn't." I said a bit shyly. What was going on with me.
"Well anyway why don't we go get that breakfast." Draco said and held out his arm. I straightened myself up and took his arm.
We headed to the Great Hall to grab some breakfast before heading to classes for the day. We were the last ones there, but it didn't surprise me really. We both ate quickly, but before we could leave the Great we were stopped my Headmistress McGonagall and didn't look pleased with us now.
"You guys have been late to breakfast quite a bit lately." She said.
"Yes, I know, and I am really sorry about that." I said.
"As the heads I would really like for you to join us for meals and sit up front. I told Draco this before school started." Headmistress said.
"I know, but here lately I have been sleeping over. I really don't mean to." I said.
"No matter, just try to join us from now often, it would be nice for you to be up there with us. You are a bright witch after all." She said with a smile.
"Thank you, Headmistress." I said.
"Would it be alright if I burrowed Hermione for the night. I have a date planned for us." Draco said.
"Of course, just be sure to be back before dark." She replied, and I gave her a broad smile.
"Alright off to class the two of you go." She said.
"Thank you." I said, before following Draco.
I followed Draco until we had to part to go to our classes. He gave me a kiss on the forehead and then went towards his class and so did I. I wonder what was going on with him. He was being nice today, but my fear was that he would get angry at me again and treat me like trash like he did before. The classes today seemed boring, but I think that had a lot to do with the fact that I was ready to see Draco. I was ready to see what he had planned and if he really was going to make up for his recent behavior.
"Hermione are you even paying attention in class?" Harry asked, and I looked over at him.
"Yeah, I was just thinking. Sorry." I said.
"What were you thinking about?" He asked.
"Well Draco asked me to have picnic with him. Like a date." I replied.
"Draco actually asked you to join him for a date?" Harry asked a bit shocked.
"Yes, but you need to be quite before we get in trouble." I said and went back to paying attention.
This was the last class of the day and I was ready for it to be over so that I could join Draco for our picnic. I finished up my notes quickly and as soon as the teacher dismissed us I left to go meet up with Draco. First, I went back to my room to get changed out of my uniform and then I headed back down to the common room to find Draco waiting on me and he had something in his hand.
"What do you have there?" I asked.
"It is a little gift that I had my house elf pick up for you. I hope that you like it." He said and handed it to me.
I opened the small box up and inside was the most beautiful necklace that I had ever seen. It was white gold encrusted with blood red rubies. It had earnings to match it and it almost looked like the rubies contained water or something in them. Draco came over to me and put the necklace on me and I put the earrings on. They looked beautiful on me, and I was grateful for the gift.
"Draco these have to be expensive." I said.
"Don't worry about it. It is a family heirloom. I had the house elf retrieve it." He said.
"You didn't need to do that, but I am grateful that you got it for me. What is inside the rubies?" I asked.
"It is a very rare item, it's Dragon's blood. My mother said that you may end up needing it in the future." Draco replied.
"I don't think that I will ever need this, but It is beautiful nonetheless." I said.
"You never know, but are you ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah of course I am." I said with a smile.
I took Draco's arm and let him lead me to wherever he had set up the picnic at. He led me the Gardens where there was now a Gazebo with candles all around it and rose bushes. There was a blanket laid out with food place neatly on it. I followed Draco over to the Gazebo where he helped me sit down.
"Do you like it?" He asked.
"Of course, I like it." I said with a smile, but something dark flashed across my mind.
"Well then let's get to eating." He said with a smile.
I watched as he made me a plate of food and I grateful accepted it. I ate my food and watched as Draco ate his food. I wanted to lean forward and take him the way that he sat right now but that was wrong. The way that I felt around Draco was unlike anything that I felt before, and a strange power that I hadn't felt stirred within me. It wasn't desire, but it was a dark power that was bad, and I needed to find the reason why I felt this strange power.
I looked up at Draco and he gave me a smile before leaning forward and pulling me into a kiss. I leaned into the kiss, but for some reason I felt the urge to do more than just kiss him, but I wasn't ready for that. I jerked away from Draco and he looked shocked.
"I am sorry Draco, but I need to go." I said.
"Wait Hermione what's going on?" Draco asked.
"Nothing I just need to clear my head." I said.
I took off running before he could object and ran as far as I could. I went straight to Gryffindor common room, where I would talk to Harry. Something was terribly wrong with my mind or I was overwhelmed with everything going on. I made it just outside the Great Hall corridor when I ran into Harry. I looked up at him shocked, and the worry on his face was clear.
"Hermione is everything alright?" He asked.
"No, it isn't okay." I cried.
"What's going on, you can tell me anything." Harry said.
"I was just with Draco, and something isn't right." I said, and we sat down on one of the benches.
"He didn't do anything to you did he?" He asked in suspicious tone.
"No, he was really romantic and sweet, and I think that I am falling for him, but I fear myself." I said.
"What are you scared of?" He asked.
"I keep feeling this darkness inside of me that wants to take over me and I am afraid that I am going to hurt Draco." I said.
"Hermione you are too good to have any kind of darkness inside of you." He said.
That was when I told him everything that my parents had told me, and with each passing second the shock on his face grew more and more and I knew that he was surprised by this news. Once I finished he didn't say anything at first, but he finally spoke up.
"Just because of your past, that doesn't mean that you are evil, it just means that your parents forgot to tell you something." Harry said.
"I suppose that you could be right, but I swear I feel like the darkness will take over and something bad will happen and I don't want that." I cried.
"Hermione I will never let that happen, I promise." Harry said.
"Thank you." I smiled and gave him a hug.
(Dracos POV)
I watched as Hermione at her food so gracefully and I couldn't resist the lure of her beautiful lips and leaned forward and kissed her. She kissed me back fully and the kiss consumed me and wanted nothing more than to make her mine in that very moment, but to my dismay she pulled away.
"I am sorry Draco, but I need to go." She said.
"Wait Hermione what's going on?" I asked.
"Nothing I just need to clear my head." She said.
She took off running before I could grab her, but I was not letting her go this time. I stood up and took off after her. I knew where she was headed, and why she was headed there. She wanted to talk with her friends because they were the one thing that seemed to calm her. I stopped short when she ran into Harry and decided that I would listen in and see if I could figure out why she ran from me. I wanted to know what she was hiding.
"Hermione is everything alright?" He asked.
"No, it isn't okay." She cried.
"What's going on, you can tell me anything." Harry said.
"I was just with Draco, and something isn't right." She said, and they sat down on one of the benches.
"He didn't do anything to you did he?" He asked in suspicious tone.
"No, he was really romantic and sweet, and I think that I am falling for him, but I fear myself." She said. Hermione is falling for me, that can't be true. I thought for sure she would always hate me.
"What are you scared of?" He asked.
"I keep feeling this darkness inside of me that wants to take over me and I am afraid that I am going to hurt Draco." She said. What darkness was she referring to and why didn't she think that she could tell me.
"Hermione you are too good to have any kind of darkness inside of you." He said.
That was when she told him everything that her parents had told her, and with each passing second the shock on his face grew more and more and I knew that he was surprised by this news. Once she finished he didn't say anything at first, but he finally spoke up.
"Just because of your past, that doesn't mean that you are evil, it just means that your parents forgot to tell you something." Harry said.
"I suppose that you could be right, but I swear I feel like the darkness will take over and something bad will happen and I don't want that." She cried.
"Hermione I will never let that happen, I promise." Harry said.
"Thank you." She smiled and gave him a hug.
I watched as she left to go to her room and so did Harry. I was furious that she didn't feel the need to talk to me and I made my way back to the common room where she was waiting. I was not in the mood to talk to her right now, I should have been the one that she came to when she needed to talk to someone. She shouldn't have run off scared to Harry, I was willing to listen, but she wasn't willing to tell me.
"Draco can we talk?" She asked.
"I don't want to talk right now." I said.
"What's the matter Draco?" She asked.
"Nothing, maybe you should go ask Harry since you seem to tell him everything." I said.
"I just needed someone to talk to." She pleaded.
"Save it, I don't want to talk you since you don't see fit to talk to me." I yelled.
I stormed off to my room and I heard door slam as she entered her room. I don't care if she is mad, maybe she should have thought about that before hiding stuff from me. I sighed and laid down my bed and wanted to scream in frustration, but I didn't. I fell asleep to thoughts of Hermione and her conversation with Harry.
