When The Sun Rises
Chapter 5-
Home
The next few days seemed like a routine. Hermione would wake up in the morning,
Draco would bring her breakfast, she would play with Pertwia, lunch, Pertwia, rest, dinner,
bed, then start over again. It was quite boring to Hermione, she wished she could break out
of the dusty attic and go outside. Outside did not mean home, not to Hermione, not anymore.
It seemed that Hermione and Draco had developed some sort of unspoken bond in the past week.
They didn't always talk, but when they did Hermione felt light and free to express her
emotions. The only things she kept inside were her feelings for Draco. Hermione didn't even
know what to classify him as, she was unsure what she felt for him, if anything. He was no
longer her enemy, 'friend' didn't seem right, and nothing else she thought of seemed to fit.
Hermione had been living in the Malfoy Mansion attic for a week, and she was getting tired
of waking up to a cough from all the dust, or a splinter from the wood.
Hermione was about to play with Pertwia when Draco climbed up the steps and sat across
from Hermione, looked a bit lost and disoriented. Since Draco was silent for a moment,
Hermione decided to speak, "Hello." She said and smiled, something she had done a lot these
past few conversations with Draco. Draco looked at her, just looked. They were looking at
each other, making eye contact for a few awkward moments. Draco gave a rare, yet charming smile.
"I've been thinking a lot lately." Draco said. "I think I have figured out a few things."
He continued. Hermione listened intentively. "First of all, about you living in the attic."
He said slowly, careful to pronounce every word right. Hermione listened, Draco continued,
"You don't have to anymore." Draco said, taking a deep breath. "Where will I live then?"
Hermione asked curiously. "I suppose you can go home." Draco said, trying not to show his
dissapointment. "I can't go home until I do one more thing." Hermione said, a grin sliding
across her face. "What is that?" Draco asked curiously, making eye contact with her again.
Hermione leaned over and kissed him. It lasted about 20 seconds. When it ended, Hermione
sat back and waited for something, she didn't know what, maybe words, maybe a smile,
she just waited. Draco seemed to be hynotized by the kiss, and didn't say anything, just
stared, the only thing not hynotized were his eyes, dancing with enchantment, staring at
Hermione. Hermione decided to speak, she went closer to Draco, "Where is home, anyway?"
She said softly. Draco slowly broke the hynotizing curse. He smiled again. "Home is where
you smile, and are enchanted by certain people." Hermione continued, giving Draco a
meaningful hug, and surprisingly, he returned it.
