Chapter 11
"Hermione!" Voices came from the house. Ron, Harry, and three other red heads came running out of the house and captured her in a huge hug.
"Hermione," came Mrs. Weasley's voice, "we didn't have much of a warning that you would be coming. We just received Malfoy's owl that you would be coming a few seconds ago. Why don't you two come in and get something to eat," she said, motioning to Malfoy and pushing Hermione into the house.
She seated the two of them at the table in front of a healthy lunch of bacon, which they both devoured eagerly since neither of them had eaten breakfast.
"Hermione, can we talk to you?" queried Harry when she had finished.
"Um…sure," she said glancing at Draco. He was still eating his food and didn't notice the rest of them.
Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny got up and went to a separate room.
"Yes?" she said urging them to speak.
"What's Malfoy doing here?" asked Ron.
"Why are you staying at his place?" asked Harry.
"And why does he keep looking at you like that?" asked Ginny.
"Well…my father wanted me to stay with The Malfoy's while he and my mom were away, and well Malfoy brought me here and I need him to get back. Please don't ask questions, they'll all be answered in due time. We'll be here for three days and just be nice to him. Ok?" she asked.
"Ok," said Ron slowly, "but if he does anything…"
"I understand Ron," she replied. "Harry? Ginny?"
"Fine Hermione, but you owe me twice now," said Harry.
"Of course, unlike them, I don't doubt your judgment," said Ginny.
"Thanks," she said gratefully. "Um…can I talk to Ginny alone?"
"Sure," they said and left the room.
Hermione had a feeling they knew why she was talking to "The Hook-Up."
"Ginny something is happening to me. I get this funny feeling in my heart like there are air bubbles tickling the sides of it, like there is so much emotion bottled up in there, yet there is no one to give it to. And I really hate it when he talks about other girls. My heart just plummets to my toes and I feel like I want to cover my ears like a little kid and not listen to him. And when he talks to me I feel my heart jump into my throat and I have to force the conversation with him. And when he touches me I feel a shock spread through my whole body. Sometimes I just lose it when he's around. I mean what is this?" she asked Ginny.
"First of all…who is HE?" she asked.
"Draco," Hermione said in a bare whisper that she was surprised Ginny heard.
If Ginny had noticed that she called him by his first name, she hid her surprise nicely.
"Must be hard to love a Malfoy," she said instead.
"I can't love him!" she said "I just can't. Why couldn't it have been someone everyone would accept? I'm probably going to die if I can't tell him. What will he say when I tell him? Knowing him he's going to be the conceited brat he usually is. What will my dad say?"
"Your dad is something you should worry about. Malfoy has the worst teeth ever!" said Ginny getting a small laugh from Hermione. "As for Malfoy, you really shouldn't worry about him. He's already head over heels for you," she said, cleaning out the dirt from under her nails.
"My dad is going to start on how I shouldn't associate with people like him. He's too low for me or something like that. Even though I am living in the same house as him," she was raving now.
"Wait, you're too good for him? Last time I checked, it was the other way around, no offense. I think I missed something. Tell me everything, Hermione," she said coaxingly.
"Ok, but you can't tell anyone!" Hermione said warningly.
"Agreed," Ginny replied.
Hermione told her everything: that she was Voldemort's daughter, the party, the band, her true mother, and everything else. The only thing she held back was her personal lessons with her dad.
"Nothing here leaves this room," she said staring into space thoughtfully. She didn't seem shocked or angry; she just took the information as though it was something obvious. "For now just go with the flow. As for Malfoy…I'll fix that one," she said more to herself than to Hermione.
Hermione knew she could trust Ginny. All the girls went to her for her skill in hooking people up.
"Come on, everyone's going to wonder what happened to us," said Hermione.
They walked back to the table to see everyone, including Malfoy, having a nice light conversation.
"You girls up for a game of Quidditch?" asked Fred.
"I'll ref; that way it's even," said Hermione.
It was Fred, Harry, and Ron against Ginny, Draco, and George.
The seven of them played for the rest of the day and came in afterwards for hot cocoa and soup.
That night, Hermione was sitting on her bed reading when there was a knock on her door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Um…me, Draco," he said.
"Hey, come on in," she said, her heart jumping to her throat.
Draco came in nervously and sat at the foot of the bed.
"Well I was talking to Ginny about how I felt about some girl and well, I thought that girl had a right to know," he said.
"And who is this girl?" she asked her face inches away from his.
"She has wild, brown hair; warm, chocolate eyes; and the brain of a genius. Sound familiar?" he said giving his trademark smirk.
Hermione simply nodded, astonished. She really hadn't believed Ginny when she had said Draco loved her.
"I was wondering how she felt about me," Draco said.
Hermione pressed her lips against his as an answer to his question.
Find out what their reactions are in the next chapter and more importantly...her father's reaction.
Thanks again to all my reviewers and i hope more of you review.
