Real quickly, I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Izze13, who without, I would not be updating. LUV YA IZZE!
And thanks Franny for your help :)
Here's the chapter!
Draco POV
I ran to Blaise's room and threw open the door.
"Hi!" I panted.
He was staring at me with a weirded-out expression. "Hi...? Merlin, Draco, you always come to me! Look, if you want to move back with me, just say so." he said, sarcastically.
"No, um, I just came to talk. About what I should do with Hermione." I said, awkwardly.
"Oh, so I'm your love adviser now?" he asked, amused.
"In somewhat of a form, I guess so." I said.
"Alright. Tell me what's up." he sighed.
I began explaining to him about what had happened during our date. He smiled every now and then, but I ignored it.
"But then, on the way back, we were just about to go into the room, when I felt, like, this URGE to kiss her, and, I don't know, I started leaning in, but then I kinda realized what I was doing, so I backed off, and ran here." I explained.
"That's nice." he said, smiling.
I just stared at him.
"Is that the best thing you can say? 'That's nice'?" I stood up. "That's it, I'm finding another best friend."
"Sit down!" he said, pulling me back. "Look. Oh Merlin, here comes the mushy stuff. Do you like Hermione?"
"Well, I like her now-" I started. He cut me off.
"Now look deeper. Do you love her?" he asked me, his eyes piercing into mine.
I was silent. "I-I can't tell. It's all hazy when I'm with her, so I really don't know. I'm just really confused right now." I said, ruffling my hair.
He nodded. "Look, mate. If I were you, act like nothing happened, and just move on. It cuts the awkward out. With time, the haze will die away, and you'll know what your heart wants."
I let his words drift in my mind. What my heart wants...
My thinking was interrupted with a gag. I looked up. "What the hell?" I asked.
"Sorry. That was wwaaaayyyy to much mushyness for a Slytherin. Oh Merlin, I think I feel my lunch coming back up." he said, rubbing his throat.
"Merlin, you're right! Damn it, this girl's got me all mushy!" I said, putting my hands over my face.
"Come on, lover boy. Let's get some dinner." he said, standing up.
Hermione POV
I stood in the doorway of my room, shocked. I was frozen.
H-he almost kissed me!
My face grew red. I can't believe it! He actually leaned forward to kiss me! The nerve of him!
But I wanted it.
"Merlin, did I really just think that?" I asked myself.
"Think what?" asked a voice. Ginny was coming up towards me.
"GINNY!" I screamed. I pulled her into the room. "You have GOT to help me."
"Alright! So what's your dilemma?" she asked.
I explained to her about our date and everything. Ginny even gasped at the necklace.
"That sounds perfect. What's so wrong?" asked Ginny, confused.
"Well, then we were coming back to our room, and then he just stares at me, and starts leaning in." I said, blushing madly.
Ginny gasped. "NO WAY! YOU GUYS ACTUALLY KISSED?"
"Almost. But then he just stopped when he was really close, and just backed off."
She stared at me. "So he just stopped? Just like that?" she asked.
I nodded.
"He's such a wimp!" she fumed. "You can't just lead someone on like that- Wait. How are you feeling about this?" she asked.
"That's the thing! I don't know!" I said, sighing. "I mean, I felt almost scared when he started leaning in, like I wanted to push him away, but then he backed off, and I..." I trailed off. I fell onto the bed. "I kinda felt like I wanted him to kiss me."
She looked at me. "So are you trying to tell me you like him?" she asked.
"That's the thing! I don't know!" I said, frustrated. "I can't tell. It's just so unclear around him. And, what the heck am I supposed to do? It's going to be so awkward around him!" I said, burying my head my pillow.
"Well, until you know what to do, I suggest just pretending it didn't happen." she advised.
"You're right." I sighed. "I'm thinking too hard."
Then I remembered the little electric shock that I felt when he touched my skin. I remembered his clean and crisp smell.
Oh no. Could I really be in love him?
