I Love You, Now Die
Hermione was surprised, but she couldn't deny it was what she had always wanted. When he finally broke away, he whispered, "I love you, Hermione..."
"I love you, too, Draco..."
"OH MY GOD YOU WHAT!!??"
Standing in the doorway to the room was Ron and Harry. Both had wide eyes and astonished looks on their faces.
"Harry...Ron! What are you doing here!?" Hermione asked, looking at them, also with wide eyes.
"Well, we were here to see what was taking you so long, but now we know the answer." Harry said with a glare at Malfoy. "What are you doing, Mione? This is Malfoy here! Have you lost your mind?!"
Hermione started to reply, but Draco was faster. "And I suppose you think you're special, eh, Potter?" he spat. "Think Hermione can only be seen with you and Weasel, huh? Well-"
"Draco, please!" Hermione said quietly. "Let me talk to Harry and Ron alone..."
Draco shrugged, kissed Hermione on her forehead (recieving a horrible glare from Ron) and walked out the door, leering at Harry and Ron.
"Mione...." Ron said, "What happened?"
"I.....I've always liked him." she started. "But I could never tell either of you. What would you think? And now....what do you think? I mean..you hate him....Ginny knew. She didn't mind. But..." she sighed. "You probably hate me now, too, huh?"
"Hermione." Harry said seriously. "We don't hate you. We could never hate you. But...maybe Draco Malfoy isn't the right choice for you!"
"And how would you know?" Hermione said, pawing at her bedspread. "I love him, you guys..." she looked up, and they were astonished to see tears in her eyes. "I would've thought you would've supported me in this. After all...you are my best friends...aren't you?"
They looked shocked.
"Of course we're your best friends, Mione." Ron sighed. "And....if Draco Malfoy is what makes you happy......"
"We'll learn to live with it." Harry said, elbowing Ron.
She smiled at them, then looked at her watch. "Oh, gods! We're late for class!"
"No worries, Mione." Ron shrugged. "We're going to Sirius' class!"
"...and..so..um, riiiight...yeah. Can anyone tell me...what a....huh? What is this?"
"Yup, that's Sirius, all right." Harry whispered upon entrance.
"Um...Areamihc!!??" Sirius scratched his head, his feet on top of the desk, much to the amusement of the Gryffindors.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione took their seats, and Hermione held up her hand. "Sir-er, Professor Black, you're holding the book upside down. It's Chimera, not Areamich. And it's a rare Greek monster with as lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail."
Sirius looked at the book and chuckled. "Um....of course I was...." he turned it the right way. "And yes, Hermione correct. Ten points to Gryffindor."
Hermione raised her hand again. "Um, Professor Black, aren't we supposed to be learning defense against Dark Arts? Not beasts?"
Sirius looked seriously ( pun intended, lol) at her. "Chimeras could be considered Dark....couldn't they?" he noticed all they Gryffindors trying to hide laughter. "Okay, okay, so I didn't exactly have a lesson plan today. Hagrid and I were busy tormenting Snapey. I had to rub it in that I got the job he wanted...." now everyone was laughing freely. "But I promise we'll do something tomorrow!" he sounded like a kid that had got caught stealing cookies.
So for the rest of class, Sirius let them talk, promising that 'they would work double' tomorrow.
Hermione opened the door to her room. She was tired and wanted to go to sleep. although at the same time, she wished she was in the Gryffindor Common Room with Harry and Ron. They were taking her and Draco's relationship so far pretty well.
Speaking of Draco....
"You're finally here, Hermione!" he rose up off his bed to greet her with a kiss.
She smiled at him. "Hi, Draco." she started to hug him, but stopped short. "......Draco. What's that under your shirt? On your....arm...?"
Draco sighed. "I knew you'd find out sooner or later. Please don't hate me..." he lifted his shirtsleeve. "Hermione, I am a Death Eater...or I was! Please...I know now, that it was wrong! I know now..."
She looked at him. His cold grey eyes were no longer cold, they were sincere and pleading. "....When?" was all she could say.
"Last year..." he winced. "My dad made me do it. Please say you still love me, Hermione...."
She smiled. "Draco...even if you had committed the worst crime in the world, I would still love you. If you say you know now it was wrong, I believe you."
He sighed in relief and happiness, and took her into his arms.
But they didn't know someone could hear every word they were saying.
"Even if you have denounced us, Draco Malfoy, there are still other ways of using you...." a cruel voice whispered. "And now, you foolish little boy..we know your weak spot...."
a/n: *GASP!* He was a Death Eater!? Or is he still...? Could he be lying? Wait and see....
Spooky Voice: WHY are Harry and Ron taking this so well!? (cuz Hermione's their best friend...)
WILL Sirius ever get his schedule straight!? (who knows with him...)
IS Draco lying!? (find out later)
and WHO was that cruel voice!? (well, duh..no prizes if you can guess...)
