Chapter 15 "So very sorry"



~* "I love you Draco," Hermione said as she pushed Draco so he was lying down. Hermione sat on his stomach as softly as she could and began to kiss Draco. "I . . . Love . . . You. . . Too," Draco said between kisses. She stroked his hair as she kissed his neck. Draco began to breathe heavily. Hermione lifted up and began to just look at Draco with a sparkle in her eyes. Draco began to unbutton Hermione's shirt. . .

"I KNEW IT!" Said a familiar voice, Hermione jumped off of Draco and began to button her shirt. Draco turned around to see Blaise Zabini. "You are so screwed." Blaise said running away grinning.

"DRACO!" Draco's eyes widened and turned back around to see his Father standing before him. "Father. . . I-I" Draco started. Lucius started toward Draco, he raised his arm up and slammed it down on Draco's chest, hard. *~

Draco shot awake. His heart was beating rapidly, he was breathing hard. Even in my dreams they won't leave me alone. Draco lied back down and as his heart beat returned to normal, Draco just lied there and thought.

Draco attempted many times to fall back asleep, but he couldn't stop thinking, so he headed down to the Common Room. Halfway down the stairs Draco heard voices. Sounded like Snape and Dumbledore. Draco stopped where he could see who was down there and sat on the step and watched.

It was Snape and Dumbledore, but there was a student with them. Draco couldn't make out who the student was so he listened and watched carefully.

Snape looked rather uncomfortable. Dumbledore however was talking to the student. "I am sorry to have told you this, especially at this hour. What has happened is most unfortunate." Dumbledore paused. "Would you like to go to the infirmary?" Dumbledore finished. "N-No." the student said, Draco still couldn't tell who it was; their voice was weak and hurt. "Would you like to talk to anyone?" Dumbledore asked. The student shook their head. "Again I am so very sorry. Come Severus." Dumbledore said motioning for Snape to come.

When Dumbledore and Snape were gone, the student fell to the floor and began to sob. Draco silently stood up and walked down the steps.

"A-A-Are you okay?" Draco asked as he touched the students shoulder. It was a dumb question to ask, because Draco knew that this person was anything BUT okay. The student turned their head, it was, "Blaise!?" Draco said shocked.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Blaise said with tears streaming down his face. "Why are you crying?" Draco asked. "M-My father, h-h-he's been k- killed." Blaise stuttered. Draco's eyes widened with pure jealousy. "I wish MY father would have been killed!" Draco said without thinking. Blaise looked at him, tears still streaming down his face. "I mean, sorry to hear that Blaise." Draco said, he meant it, but still wished HIS father would have been killed.

"I really don't know how to take a situation like this." Draco said looking around. Suddenly Draco felt sorry about beating him up earlier and getting him another detention. "I'm, I'm. sorry," Draco said slowly. "You said that already." Blaise said. "No, I'm sorry for fighting with you." Draco replied.

"Look, I really don't want to talk to anyone right now." Blaise said sloooooowly. Draco nodded and went back up the stairs and back to his dorm...

When Draco got back to his bed he couldn't help but wonder who killed Blaise's father. Draco felt bad but still disliked Blaise greatly for nosing into his life. Just then Draco noticed Blaise's empty bed. "Why didn't I notice that before I went down?" Draco said a loud to himself.

Before Draco fell asleep he remembered his dream. He remembered how beautiful Hermione looked. He remembered her telling him she loved him. Draco smiled.

"I love you too, Hermione." Draco whispered before he fell asleep.
