The Real Me
Description: A playful romp in the snow changes Draco's perspective on things. A Choice. THE choice that will change his and their lives forever. A Draco/Hermione story.
Rating: PG-13 Rating is for language and descriptive kissing scenes. (Probably no S-E-X but I will not describe it but either end the chapter there change to another person. A/N: Hiya!! So how long has it been now??? Since Thursday?? And today's what...Sunday??? *grins* I am kinda evil aren't I?
So anyway, this comp I am using now is perfect cause I only have to hit enter once for it to go to the perfect position. It still doesn't have Spell Check. But the only other glitch is that it makes a weird crackle sound when I hit the Caps Lock key.
Anyway I have agonized long and hard over what I should do with this chapter and where I should go with it. And I have finally decided that I should take it out for a movie and a lovely dinner at Swiss Chalet. (For all you un-Canadian Folks that is a lovely Chicken restaurant).
Just kidding of course, and well didya know how many reviews I got?! I have just cleared 30!! I am hoping to hit 50 by next Saturday! You'll all be glad to know that as I have a lovely vacation this week I will be able to update often!!
So, Speaking of reviews, here are the many lovely folks who have re-lit the writing flame dans mon coeur. (Another note, I may add bits of french in here)
Luv and Huggles to all my gracious reviewers: Sam, YSM, peachesncreamm, Rebecca, allee kat, Dark Castle Witch, HerDarkMaterials, dobbie-luvs- sweeties, deep.fried.chicken.wings (Note: I did mention somewhere that it was November thank you very much!! I think I mentioned it in chappie numero 3!), couch-potatoe, SophieBabe, Vanessa, Evil~Psycho~Angel~Witch, and last but not least Garnet-Blossom.
There, that's every new one so far!!! Okay enough blither...On with the Chappie!!!
Chapter 5: Shocking Revelations
Last Time....
Draco snorted at this, "Yeah, they know diddly squat when it comes to being nice to people, having fun, and just enjoying each other's company. All they seem to want to do is argue over who's parent is the best Death Eater."
Hermione's smile faded, she turned away, "I'm sure you must join right in with them huh? Proud that your father is a Death Eater Draco?"
What?!? He thought outraged. He turned her towards him so that they could see eye to eye, he brought her face close to his and pulled her into a gentle kiss. When they broke apart he said, "Would someone who was proud that their father was a Death Eater kiss the muggle born that he was in love with?"
~*~*~
Hermione stared at Draco in shock. Did he just say what I think he said?!?! Oh. My. God. Draco Malfoy Loves Me. Hermione did the only thing that she could think of to do. She ran.
But Draco was too quick for her, he had grabbed her by the arm and gently pulled her back down before she had been able to go so much as a step.
"Hermione," He said quietly, looking earnestly into her eyes, "I really in truthfully love you."
"Draco, how do I know that? You have never given me any reason to before. You always called me mudblood, you treated me like I was nothing but dirt under your shoe. A little bug that needed to be gotten rid of in the cruellest ways imaginable. How could I believe, that someone who has done things like that before, loves me."
She started to stand but again he stopped her. "Hermione, do want to know how it is that I know that I love you." She nodded, averting her eyes, "I know because.... because...it's really hard to explain.... But I know that you, Hermione will understand."
"It all started at the end of 4th year..." ~*~*~
(Note: This isn't the flashback yet...Just a little discovery but that clever little Fred Weasley)
Ginny moaned as Harry gently bit her lower lip. "Oh God, Harry. I love you so much." She sighed and opened her eyes. Harry was gazing at her too.
"Hey Gin," Harry said tentatively, "You wanna--"
But Ginny cut him off by saying a sentence that mirrored exactly what he had been about to say, "Wanna go somewhere a bit more...Private?"
He grinned widely and nodded. She giggled and pulled him up of the snowy ground. "Follow me, I know of a nice warm cave right near here..."
Soon they were at the cave. They were both grinning stupidly at each other, unsure of what to do next. Ginny noticed that Harry was covered from head to toe in snow. "Here," She said walking towards him, "Let me get that snow off you." She brushed the soft white snow out of his hair gently. She moved down to his shoulders, to his chest, and her hands ever so slightly brushed his...you know...which she could tell was a little.... well.... sturdier than usual...
"Oh my," She said softly, grinning at him. He pulled her down with him, Kissing VERY passionately. A/N I am leaving this at this for now... They WILL be naked when I return to them, but I will not describe anything. It will just be tender stuff.)
~*~*~
(Note: Back to Flash Back...)
It was during the end of year feast that Draco's Eagle Owl swept through the dining hall and dropped a letter on his empty plate. Draco curiously opened it, unsure of what he was going to find.
Inside was a note. It read,
Dear Draco,
The time has come for you to enter the fold. Your father has completely agreed for you to become one of my Death Eaters. Apparently your mother showed some resistance to this, but she has been taken care of.
Draco, this honour will serve you well into the future...If you decide to follow me faithfully for the rest of your life. Sincerely, Lord Voldmort
Draco's hands were trembling as he laid down the parchment. Crabbe and Goyle looked over and read the letter. Huge grins broke out onto their faces. "Congrats Draco!" They said, "Finally you'll be a Death Eater!! Just what you've always wanted huh?"
"What?" Draco mumbled, "Oh yeah...I guess.." His mind elsewhere. He knew he had never wanted to be a Death Eater, but he had to do everything his father told him to do unless he wanted to have his father use the cruciatus curse on him. What was he going to do?
His gaze drifted over to the laughing students at the other tables and soon came to rest on one particular Gryffindor prefect. She was waving a letter around in front of her, her bushy brown hair flying everywhere as she bounced up and down.
Draco could hear her as she excitedly told everyone at her table that she had just been named head girl. Draco already knew this as he had just been named Head Boy. He knew that next year they would be sharing a dorm, each with their own private room. But having to share a cozy little common room and a bathroom.
Not that he minded much, Hermione was a beautiful girl. But he had many mixed feelings about her. She was charming and fun to be around, most of the time. But he had always been told by his father to hate Muggle Borns.
A few weeks later after having been resting comfortably in his own private wing of the Malfoy manor, his father came for him. "It is time." He said ominously. Draco knew that if he didn't obey that he would suffer the same torture his mother had endured from the cruciatus curse. It had left he a broken shell of a woman, she shuddered every time someone came near her. It was sad.
But Draco also knew that if he did follow his father that he would be put through the torturous endeavour of having the Dark Mark Branded into his arm and having all the Dark Magic that went with it cast over him.
Draco took a deep breath and said, "I am coming father, but please allow me a few moments to prepare myself, and I know the way."
Luscious agreed and left his room. Draco collapsed into his huge leather armchair. His mind flashed to the laughing students at hogwarts, a brunette in particular. How if he did this he would be helping to ruin many of their lives and the lives of their friends and their family.
Draco knew that somehow he must escape, how he did not know. But the thing he did know was that he had to stop this and he had to stop it now.
So Draco was able to evade it that night, claiming that he didn't believe that he was ready, and that if anyone at hogwarts discovered that he was a Death Eater, that well, he would never be able to get much information from them from then on in. So Draco was safe for now...
~*~*~
Hermione gasped when he had finished. She buried her head into his chest. "I can't believe it." She murmured. "You've been through so much. I now know that you...wait a bloody minute! I know squat!!! You brat!!! How do you know you love me?!?!
~*~*~
Ginny smiled and snuggled deeper into Harry's comforting arms. "That was wonderful Harry. I thoroughly enjoyed myself."
Harry grinned; he opened his mouth to say something when a familiar voice shouted, "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?? GET THE FUCK OFF HER!!!!
~*~*~
End of Chapter
A/N So How'd you like it?? I know short... but I have to go have a hot tub, life is SO hard!! I will write more tomorrow if I get.... 5 more reviews!! Luv and Huggles!!
PS: I will try to write the next chappie longer!!
PPS: I accidentally said 6th year ^^ when I meant 4th, I have now changed it. Sorry for the confusion that this may have caused anyone. And it also gave me the opprotunity to go through and correct spelling errors!
