Hermione's Secret
Chapter 7-The Secret Is Out, To Draco
Hermione woke up the next morning feeling horrible and with a major headache. There were tear stains on her pillow, for she had gone to sleep crying. She didn't want to get up, but she had no choice, it was Wensday, so she had classes.
Dragging herself out of bed, she looked at the clock and saw that it was only 5:00 am, she still had hours before breakfast. She groaned and wanted to go back to sleep, but she knew she wouldn't be able to. She pulled on a silver halter top and a pair of hip hugger blue jeans, then pulled her Hogwarts robes over it. Hermione decided to go to her secret room, and take that disgusting potion that would make her feel better.
Walking out of her private dorm, she looked around to be sure that no one could follow her. Ariving at the painting of the women with silver hair, and violet eyes, she said the password ," Alumos Cortainus."
Walking in, she discarded her robes and walked to table in the back. She got out the same potion she had used the other time, and took a deep swig from it. Almost gagging, she swallowed it down, and put the bottle back. Then she went and sank down in one of the plushy chairs that sat in the middle of the room. She still had a nasty taste in her mouth, but she already felt better.
Hermione decided to write a letter telling him to meet her this time, and hopefully it won't be interrupted this time. She got out a quill and a piece of parchment and began to write.
Draco Malfoy,
Since we didn't get to finish our little meeting the last time, lets try again. Meet me tonight on top of the Astronomy Tower, at midnight. And keep your bug mouth shut, what you know is none of your busniness, and you'd do well to remember that!
Hermione
She rolled it up and then walked to the Owlry to send it. She couldn't use Crookshanks because he had been killed the previous summer, by Death Eaters.
************
After she sent the note to Malfoy, it was time for breakfast. She was on her way to the Great Hall, when she bumped into something warm, hard, and soft. She fell, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Draco Malfoy with her letter in his hand. "How did you get it so fast, I just sent it like ten minutes ago!" she asked, still on the floor. He just stared at her before answering, " Well, I was on a nice walk when I was ran into by this really big barn owl," he said sarcastically. Hermione couldn't help it, she started cracking up at the idea of Malfoy being knocked over by a barn owl! While she was rolling around on the floor laughing, Draco looked at her as if she were crazy, which she probably was with as little sleep as she had been getting.
"Why are you still sitting on the floor? Do you, need some help?" he asked as he extended a hand towards her. She glared at his hand, for a minute, before taking it and hauling herself up. To her surprise he pulled her towards his body, and didn't let her hand go. He looked into her eyes again, and she couldn't move. She was mesmerized by his dark smoky blue eyes, eyes that held so much pain, anger, sorrow, loss, fear, and secrets. Much like what her own eyes must hold.
'Why is he trying to find out all of my secrets? If he knew, he would just hate me even more, and probably turn me in to Dumbledore,' she thought despairingly as the look in his eyes got more and more intense. She felt like crying, it was as if he were finding out everything about her, like, like a wave of something floating through her head.
Suddenly she realized that he was reading her mind! "Your a telepath!?" she screeched and tried to pull away from him, but he wouldn't let her go. He looked horrified, he knew her secrets, all of her secrets.
"Let me go!" she cried and tried once again to wrench herself away, but it was to no avail, he held on tight.
"You...you are the Heir of Sytherian!" he yelled at her horrified. He couldn't believe it, she was pure blood!
Hermione suddenly stopped fighting him, and he jerked in surprise, and she took her chance. Pushing him away, she got up and ran away as fast as she could, crying and sobbing the whole time. He wasted no time and took off after her, intent on not letting her get away this time.
**********
Hermione had ran to the top of Astronomy Tower and collapsed against a piller of stone. She was still crying her heart out, little bone wrenching sobs, that shook her whole body. She felt violated, and dirty. Every little last part of her had been discovered, it felt like, but it couldn't have been. As far as she knew, he had only been reading her mind for a few seconds.
Her head shot up from her knees when she heard footsteps coming near her. Before she could move, she saw Draco crouched down in front of her. She couldn't take it anymore and just let all of her anger out, "Why do you keep following me! Why can't you just leave me alone, I mean, haven't you found out everything you wanted to know! You violated me, made me feel low!! I hate you, I hate you, I..hate...you....." she finished, overcome with more tears.
To her utter surprise he didn't have a nasty retort ready at hand, instead he took her into his arms and held her, despite the fact that she once again tried to get away. Finally when she could fight no longer, she slumped against him and cried what was left of her tears.
Draco said nothing, just held her tightly, his mind going a mile a minute. He couldn't believe all he had found out about her. Her life had been a living hell, even worse than his. And he now knew why she got the shit beat out of her regularly. She had tried to tell someone, he didn't know who, her secrets. She was caught, and was now still paying the price for it, three years later.
Not wanting to think about morbid things like this now, he just held her until she stopped crying. It was as if an understanding had come between them, for they were both going through similar things. He had a feeling that something would happen soon, he just didn't know what. He didn't even care, or seem to notice that he was missing all of his classes.
**********
Hecate-chan: Ugggg!!! I hate that ending, but I can't think of anything else for this chapter!! Grrrr!!!
Marcus: Awww, don't worry about it, you are trying to get as man chapters out as possible before you have to go to your grandmother's house, right? So I'm guessing we will have the next chapter out soon! Don't worry!
Hecate-chan: ::looking very surprised at Marcus:: Ok, if you say so, I guess. Well, bye people!!
