Chapter 2 – Draco's Heartbreak
Draco's POV
My voice was caught in my throat. Was Hermione really here, sitting beside me, admiring the stars? But I thought–
"Aren't they beautiful?" Hermione whispered, interrupting my train of thoughts.
"Don't you sometimes wish you could be like them? Far away, without worries …" Hermione murmured wistfully.
I turned to her, realizing her eyes were tearful. Without thinking, I gave her a hug. I could practically feel her tense up.
"Hermione?"
She sighed and turned to me. "I really wished you hadn't …"
I gave her a blank look.
Hermione's POV
I gulped inwardly. "Malfoy …" I let the word hang in the air.
He cringed, much to my surprise. "Draco," he corrected.
"Mal – Draco," I said, flustered. "I am in love with … Ron."
I saw him sit up and turned to me in disbelief. "WEASLEY? You prefer WEASLEY to me?"
I rolled my eyes at his arrogance. "Sad, Malfoy, but true."
"Draco."
"What?" I looked at him quizzically.
"Call me Draco." He stood up and walked away.
Draco's POV
I sat on my bed quietly, listening for sounds that would tell me Hermione's back.
How could she? And … RON WEASLEY? How absurd!
I spotted my penknife on my writing table and walked over to it. The blade felt so cool and smooth. I pushed the left sleeve of my robe up and felt my arm.
"There were 3 scars. The first one was for Lucius, my father; the second one was for Hermione, angelic Hermione; and the third … who was it for again?
I shrugged to myself and took off my robe. Holding the penknife, I gave myself another scar on the wrist.
Ouch. It wasn't supposed to hurt so much. I staggered over to my bed and closed my eyes.
