Title: There's No Such Thing as a Painless Love
Chapter Seven: But I Love You
- -
Hermione silently crept into the Head Boy's dormitory.
"What am I doing here?" she whispered to herself. Draco stirred in his sleep.
'What am I doing here?' she thought.
She finally decided, a little late, that it was time to leave. What was she thinking entering Draco Malfoy's bedroom? Was she insane? Just when she turned to leave, Draco opened his eyes.
"Going somewhere, Hermione?"
Hermione gasped. "How long have you been awake?"
"Not for very long." No answer. "Why, may I ask, are you in my bedroom?"
"Well, I-I thought we needed to talk about the other day."
"Go on," he drawled.
"W-well, I've just been thinking about what you said, and I was j-just wondering-"
"If I meant it?"
"Well, yes."
"I meant every word, Hermione."
"Then why all these years-"
"It was all just a simple cover-up! How would it have looked for me to be dating a Gryffindor.....and a Mud-Muggleborn at that! But I love you, Hermione! I really do!"
Hermione sat down on the bed next to Draco. She sighed. "You can't love me...y-you can't! And I can't love you! Not after all you've done to me! Besides I'm in love with Ro-"
Before she could finish her sentence, Draco leaned in and kissed her passionately. He held her closely against him, so closely that it seemed as if he never wanted to let her go.....ever.
Falling backwards on the bed, Hermione suddenly realized what was happening. Reluctantly pushing him off, Hermione jumped up.
"We shouldn't be doing this! It's not right!.....It's not right!"
And with that, Hermione ran out of his room, leaving behind a very bewildered Draco.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
How she had managed to get any sleep the night before, Hermione didn't know. All she remembered was crying herself to sleep after sharing a very close moment with Draco.
She'd really done it now. She felt as guilty as ever that she had kissed Draco twice, and hadn't told Ron. She couldn't; she wouldn't!
Still being in bed, Hermione turned over on her side, glad that she didn't have any classes today. She could double check all of her finished homework, and busy herself elsewhere with Harry and Ron, away from Malfoy!
Her feelings for him had changed slightly. No longer was he Draco Malfoy the pureblood prick, but Draco Malfoy the pureblood who was in love with her, Hermione Granger. In love with Hermione? She couldn't believe it!
The first time she saw him, she thought he was adorable! She was looking forward to seeing him year round. When she got to know him, all of those feelings vanished. She no longer wanted to be in the same school as him. All she wanted to do was stay away.
Now that he'd confessed his love to her, she felt differently. Why, though? Why would his being in love with her change her feelings towards him?
Hermione was sick of lying in bed and thinking about it. She just wished it had never happened. She wanted it to go back to normal; her and Ron, without any interferences. She wanted Malfoy to be in love with Parkinson and leave her be. She wanted to go back to worrying about school, and not boys. She also wanted breakfast...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hi, Ron! Hi, Harry!"
"Hey, 'Mione!" Ron gave her a peck and a hug. This made her feel guilty. She loved Ron, she knew she did. But she proceeded on anyway.
"What are you guys doing today?" she asked.
"Homework, then Quidditch practice, then more homework...you know how it is!" answered Harry. "How about you?"
"Well, now that I've heard your schedule for the day, I'm not so sure!"
They spent the rest of breakfast talking and laughing. Hermione was a little uncomfortable acting like nothing had happened, but pushed the thought out of her mind. She tried not to notice those gray-blue eyes staring at her from across the hall.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione was walking to Gryffindor Tower to see how Ron and Harry were doing with their homework. She hadn't really gotten a chance to see them all day, but she did avoid Malfoy, as planned.
She was walking past a broom closet (A/N: LMAO! Its not that, we promise...) when suddenly, someone grabbed her. Putting a hand over her mouth and an arm around her waist, they pulled her into the closet.
"What the-MALFOY?!"
"Yes. Hermione, look, I-"
"WHAT are you doing? I already told you, we're not going to do this! If anything, we'll just be friends!"
"Friends?! FRIENDS?!" he shouted advancing on her. "Hermione, I don't want to be just friends!" By now, he had her pushed up against the wall. "I want to be more than that! More than just another guy in your life!.....And I will be!" he finished, pressing his lips against hers forcefully. She struggled at first, but gave in like always. She liked the rough side of this!
Then Draco started to place light kisses down her neck, causing her to moan (A/N: just imagine its you, and not Hermione in that position...we find it works better). Hermione had given up by now. She knew she could no longer stop him. She knew she no longer wanted to stop him. Many thoughts flew through her head as Draco continued kissing her, nibbling on her ear and neck.
She had no idea why she was doing this; if it was love or lust. But that didn't matter anymore. All that mattered was that she was here, with Draco.
By now, their robes had already been tossed to the floor, and Draco had started slowly unbuttoning her shirt. They stopped, when the door suddenly burst open. They immediately looked up, only to find the face of Ron staring back at them.

We're a little discombobulated, but it'll be okay! Tell us what you think! And, I'll stay up all night to write the next chapter so we don't leave you hanging! Just for you! Thanks to our reviewers for taking time to read our awful story! We love you! R/R, please...
