"Well, what I wanted to say was that I want you to be able to trust me Draco," Hermione told him honestly.
"If I tell you that I won't hurt you, then I mean it," she continued, "Once again, Harry and Ron are just my best friends, and besides they have their own girlfriends to worry about. Draco, you hafta understand that I really do want to be with you, and I enjoy being with you, and you gotta trust me. If you want this to work, you not only hafta trust me, but you can't screw this chance up. I was upset because...well..." she turned slightly pink before going on, "because, you had two chances and you blew those tow chances in a matter of days, and I was thinking that if I continued to give you more and more chances and you would just keep on blowing them, I'd just get hurt over and over again, and I don't want that to happen."
Draco listened to her plee, and nodded his head, understanding everything she said.
"Okay, I completely understand, and I'm sorry for what I did, but I was honestly jealous, and I just wanted to be with you more," Draco said.
"So Draco?" She asked.
"Hmm?"
"Will you promise me something?"
"Shot."
"Promise me that you'll trust me and believe me when I tell you something, and promise me that if you have a problem with something, just ask me, don't make it sound like you're ordering me, just ask me nicely and I'll be more that happy to explain whatever you want me to explain okay?" She looked at him, with her large, hazel brown eyes. He gazed deep into those enchanting eyes, slowly nodding. He leaned in and kissed her sweet lips. He pulled away murmuring into her ears, "I promise."
She smiled, knowing that this time, he would be true to his word. She shuddered at the cold, and he placed his arms around her, bringing her closer to him. She snuggled into him, resting her head on his chest. They sat there in silence, just enjoying each others company. They watched the sun set lower, and the beautiful colours of the sky. It got colder as the sun's yellow glow turned to a bright orange, then to a red colour, then finally set beyond the horizon. Hermione was getting colder, even with Draco's built body covering her. She told him that she wanted to go inside, so he brought her in, and they sat near the fire in the main hall. They didn't bother going for dinner, as they both weren't really that hunger. They didn't talk much, as there wasn't much to talk about. As dinner finished, some students headed for their houses to start their homework. Hermione didn't have any, and neither did Draco. Hermione lead Draco to the Prefect House, and mutter the password, letting him in. Justin and Blaise where the only ones in the common room. Hermione and Draco sat in a corner together, and started talking about little things, like family, and Hermione taught him a few things about muggles that he didn't know. He seemed pretty interested in muggles sports, especially basketball, but was extremely fasicated with hockey.
"So you mean they really play on ICE?!" He asked her wide-eyed. She nodded and smiled, keeping herself from laughing.
"How do they go walk across the ice without slipping? And how can they play in robes?" He kept asking her all sorts of questions, and she answered them. Harry and Ron came in, and greeted the couple, but quickly headed to their own rooms. Draco and Hermione stayed their for hours just talking, until Blaise finally left the room. It was nearly midnight by then, and Hermione's eyes were really to close. She was so tired that she didn't even remember that she wasn't in her own room. She whispered a quiet goodnight to Draco and kissed him softly, and closed her eyes. Draco didn't want to wake her or move her, so he let her sleep in his arms. He quietly conjured up a blanket and placed it on top of her, lightly stroking her silky hair. Within minutes, he too fell asleep. The glow of the common room fire slowly dies out, leaving the room as black as night.
