Chapter 25

What have I done?!? Hermione asked mortified looking reflection in the mirror! Why am I so upset with Draco wanting to be with some other girl? Hermione splashed cold water in her face, not wanting to admit to herself what her heart was shouting.

Oh I think you know why you feel so upset… you've fallen for him, a tiny voice in her

"I CAN'T BE in love with Draco Malfoy!", Hermione shouted at her reflection in the mirror. She felt she had to say it to make it true. To obliterate all that she was feeling for the blonde haired, silver-eyed boy. The boy who standing behind her with a dumbfounded look in his face

There was a long silence between the two when Draco finally spoke …

"Why can't you be with me?", Draco asked quietly

Hermione faced Draco. For the fist time in her life, she could not answer a question thrown at her.

"I just can't. I can't explain, but I just can't.", she said sadly, tears flowing from her eyes. "I'm sorry Draco"

Draco nodded sadly, and walked closer to Hermione to touched her face. He planted a soft kiss on her lips. They both closed their eyes when they kissed and secretly wished that the kiss would last forever. It was Draco who broke this kiss and stepped back. He had tears welling up in his eyes but smiled at her anyway.

"You're the first girl who broke my heart, Hermione"
