Hermione leant against the bedroom wall with one foot propped up against the wall and her arms folded over her chest. "If he hadn't of provoked you" Hermione murmured angrily as she watched Draco limp from one side of the room to the other carrying his belongings and putting them in his very large suitcase.
"What's done is done" Draco murmured as he closed the lid of his suitcase and clipped it up. "So who do you think the head boy is?" He asked as he sat down on the bed. Hermione sat on the windowsill and looked out at the view.
"No idea, but obviously he wouldn't be as good as you because you were first pick" Hermione muttered.
"So you're say that you're going to shag him senseless, but he wont be as good as me?" Hermione eyes widened at Draco's statement.
"WHAT! No!" Hermione said quickly and a horrified tone. "Draco how could you-" Draco began laughing loudly which caused Hermione to stop.
"I'm only having a joke Granger" Hermione mumbled something about Draco being an arrogant prat and he smirked his famous smirk at her. "Besides, no one compares to me at anything, they wouldn't dare try to beat me in it either because I'm the best" Draco said in a cocky tone.
"My, my aren't we a little bit bigheaded" Came a males voice from the side of them. Hermione and Draco both turned to see Ginny and Blaise hand in hand at the door.
"How'd you get in?" Draco asked with a smirk on his face.
"Just the workings of a Slytherin" Blaise said with a grin. Ginny elbowed him in the stomach and smiled.
"I new the password you tosser" Ginny playfully said
"Ginny" Hermione said with a big smile on her face. She walked over to Ginny and hugged her while Blaise went and shook Draco's hand. "Come on Gin, lets go talk down here" Hermione said as she led Ginny away from the boys. Ginny plopped into one of the big comfy couches while Hermione took her time to get in.
"Wow 'Mione, You're stomach is getting heaps bigger" Ginny said as she leant forwards to help Hermione sit down comfortable.
"Yeah. She's going to be a soccer player too" Hermione added as she patted her stomach lightly.
"Have you thought of names?" Ginny asked out of curiosity. Hermione put her hand in the middle of the air and shook it on an angle.
"Yes and no, but their a surprise" Ginny and Hermione smiled as they began lightly chatting. In the bedroom Draco and Blaise sat on the bed discussing matters Hermione didn't need to know about yet.
"You're fathers done what?" Blaise asked in a shocked tone. "What a bastard" Blaise said as she stared wide-eyed at Draco.
"Yeah, I bet the only reason he picked Pansy, was because she's so obsessed with me she would do anything to get me. Hell she probably suggested it to him, She's not dumb you know" Draco said with a sigh. He ran his hand through his hair and looked out of the bedroom door to see Ginny and Hermione sitting on the couch laughing.
"How'd Hermione take the news?" Blaise asked.
"Well, she said I should make the right choice, and she knows deep down inside either way I will have to hurt someone… But I just don't know what to do. I mean I want to fortune of the family so mother can live happily because she wants it-" Blaise interrupted or finished Draco's sentence for him.
"But you want Hermione too" Blaise said softly. Draco nodded and put his head in his hands.
"I'm so confused…" Draco admitted. Blaise patted his back and stood up.
"Hermione's right you know. About both things. You'll make the right choice, but you'll be hurting someone in the process…" Draco nodded before Hermione appeared at the door.
"Blaise Ginny said she has to go to a prefects meeting and you have to go to" Blaise nodded and stood up along with Draco. Blaise quickly hugged Hermione before walking out of the bedroom.
"Thanks for having us guys" Ginny yelled before her and Blaise left, leaving an awkward moment between Hermione and Draco.
"What were you guys talking about" Hermione asked as she went and sat on the bed. Draco grumbled lightly as he accidentally stabbed his toe on the edge of the bed.
"Stuff" Draco looked up at Hermione with curiosity. "What did you guys talk about" he asked with interest.
"Stuff" Hermione responded plainly. "You finished" Hermione said as she tried to rid the awkward silence. Draco lifted the suitcase down and looked at Hermione while he was still bent
"Yeah, but are you sure you and the baby are ok?" Hermione smiled and kissed Draco on the tip of his nose quickly.
"Were fine, now get going or else you'll get in more trouble for not leaving the dorm" Hermione gave a cheeky smile and poked him in the stomach.
"Finally I get to stretch out in a bed" Draco joked as he pulled his suitcase down the stairs and into their common room. Hermione snorted and pushed him lightly.
"What do you mean stretch out? You took all the room before" Hermione said before she opened the portrait door. All of a sudden everything became quiet and Hermione felt awkward again as if reality was finally hitting in on them. "Do you want me to walk you down?" Hermione asked.
"No, I'll be right" Draco said softly. He walked down the two or three steps out of the common room and stood at the bottom while Hermione stood in front of him at the top. She tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall; even though Hermione was a strong person she couldn't bring herself to stop crying. She felt numb, like a part of her was leaving forever. "Hey, hey, hey" Draco said with a soft smile as Hermione began to cry. He pulled her into his arms so Hermione's arms were around his head. Draco whispered sweet nothings to her and Hermione could only nod.
"It feels so right with you in my arms" Hermione whispered as she wiped her eyes. Draco set her back down on the top step and stood at the bottom again.
"I know… Look we'll still see each other, in classes and we'll always hang out at lunch and-" Hermione interrupted before Draco could finish.
"Yeah, but I wont be sleeping next to anymore, and you know im not the type to go for a quickie in the broom closet or something… all I saying is it wont be the same without you're snoring and-" This time Draco interrupted with a smirk and a smile… if that's possible.
"And you're constant whining and annoying reading with the light on when I'm trying to sleep… I could practically hear you reading from you're head" Hermione mouth fell open and she laughed lightly.
"Maybe that's because I was reading out loud quietly…" Hermione said as she shrugged. Draco laughed and pulled Hermione down to his level. He paused with his lips almost touching Hermione's to gaze into her eyes. "Are you going to kiss me?" Hermione whispered as a slight pink blush spread over her cheeks.
"I'm just memorizing this moment for the rest of the night" Draco muttered before turning his head on a slight angle and passionately kissing Hermione. Hermione's eyes fluttered shut as she savoured this moment also. She wished she could fast forward to the end of the year just so her and Draco could be together. Oh how Hermione wished for so much in life. But never so much in her life has Hermione wished for something, actually someone to stay with her.
Before Hermione realised what was happening her and Draco were stumbling back into the common room in a passionate embrace. They just managed to make it to the bedroom before Hermione and Draco were just about to explode.
"I… Think… the… Slytherin… dorm… can… wait" Hermione murmured between kisses and the pulling of clothes off.
"I… think… they… can… too" Draco also said between kisses. Hermione softly pushed Draco onto the bed as to he was still injured from the fight yesterday and looked down at him. He was only clad in his boxers were as Hermione only had her singlet and kickers on. "Beside's… Dumbledore never said what time I had to go there," Draco said as he sat up and gently pulled Hermione to him by her stomach.
A few hours later Hermione rolled onto her side and closed her eyes. She was so tired and worn out because last night she had stayed up all night worrying about Draco, About them, about there future, about the baby, about everything. It felt as if Hermione was going to have a breakdown, but she new she couldn't for the babies' sake Hermione had to stay strong.
Hermione felt her body begin to relax, as she was just about to slip into a peaceful sleep before Draco rolled over and pulled Hermione to him. He spooned her for a while until he thought she was asleep before getting off of the bed and pulling his clothes on. Draco walked around to Hermione's side of the bed and knelt down. He pushed back the hair behind her ear and kissed Hermione gently on the forehead.
"I love you" Draco whispered quietly before leaving the room.
The minute the door closed behind him Hermione sat up as straight as possible and looked at the closed door. That was the first time either of them had ever said it to one another. Hermione definitely felt love for Draco, but she never actually thought about telling him. He was in love with her. He said it as plain as possible. "Am I dreaming it?" Hermione muttered as she shook her head. But luckily Hermione wasn't dreaming it. She stood up and got dressed quickly before making the bed. Hermione sat down on it and stared at the wall opposite her.
Hermione wondered for a brief second how it happened. She knew she had strong feelings for him, but since when did they evolve into love? And how does she know that it wasn't just one of his sick jokes to bring Hermione down…
Hermione loved spending time with Draco, but did that mean she loved him? And she loved talking to him and confiding in him, but did that mean she loved him? Hermione loved the way he walked, talked, acted, thought… ate for crying out loud, but did that mean she loved him?
"Holy crap" Hermione murmured "I'm in love with Draco Malfoy"
