Chapter Five Neglected love ache
Draco woke to find a stream of sunshine flowing into his room. The lazy hooting of owls and the sweet rustle of leaves in the light breeze was heard. He got up and rubbed his eyes. He had fallen asleep in his clothes last night, but he didn't care.
He tried to get up but a peircing pain in his stomach sent him back down onto the bed, massaging his stomach. He looked up at the clock, nine thirty a.m. He could hear the disstant sound of water, and a sweet sound of singing. 'Hermione must be in the shower' he thought.
He listened for a while to the girl's singing when the water stopped. He could hear the shower door slide open and a drip drip of water. A few moments later he heard Hermione open the door and walk into her bedroom.
The pain seemed to ease but it still hurt badly. He tried to think of what could have ate to actually give him a stomach ache. He got up, slowly and catiously, clutching his stomach and made his way to the dresser.
He took out a pair of dark, baggy jeans and an over sized black shirt that said: What are you lookin at butt head? It was one of his favorite shirts. A few seconds later, he heard a knock on his door. He sprang up to open it, but forgetting his pain, fell over to the floor, curled up in pain.
He heard Hermione knock a few times then open the door. She poked her head in, thinking he was still asleep, but seeing that he wasn't in bed she started to look around the room. She saw him lying on the ground, clutching his stomach.
She gasped and ran to him, concerned. She pushed him over so that he lay on his back to examine him. He opened his mouth in pain while she did this but lost his voice.
"Draco, Draco! What the hell happened?" asked Hermione seriously and firmly. He just shrugged and scrunched up his face as another wave of pain hit him with great force. Hermione put her arm around him and helped him to his feet.
She slowly and carfuly walked him to his bed, and layed him gently on the bed fluffing his pillow to make it more comfortable. Draco looked at her with a very strange expression on his face. She just looked at him, concern and pain filling her eyes.
"Were does it hurt Draco?" she asked softly. Draco pointed out the spot were it hurt most. Hermione uncertainly reached out her hands and softly began to massage his stomach. Draco closed his eyes, savoring every moment. Hermione smiled as her fingers trailed over his stomach, every touch sent shivers from her finger tips to her feet.
Draco reached out his hand and gently took her hand in his, lacing their fingers together. Hermione's other hand stopped and instead reached out to brush over his cheek. His other hand covered her hand and he brushed his lips on the inside of her delicate palm. He opened his eyes and stared straight into hers.
"Thank you." he whispered, not taking his eyes off her.
"For what?" she said softly. He smiled at her and sighed.
"No ones ever done that to me. That look you gave me, concern and pain, I've never gotten that look from anyone." he said, hurt filling his voice.
My mother always had more important things to do than take care of me, when I was sick or sad, the house elves would take care of me. But none of them did it with love or concern, they just did it because they had to."
Hermione already had tears in her eyes. She leaned over to him and embraced him in a motherly hug. She pressed his head to her chest, smoothing his hair. Draco let out the pain and sorrow that he had been keeping in for God knows how long.
He wraped his arms around her waist and felt the need to be even closer to her. Hermione was more than happy to grant his wish and pulled him closer to her. She knew that he had never been hugged before, at least not like that. He needed it. He needed to fill out the hole in his heart with love and caring that he never had in his childhood.
Hermione began to hum a lullaby while running her fingers through his hair. Draco smiled against her chest allowed his eyes to close. He felt loved, for the first time, he felt the hole in his heart fill out. He expected Hermione to pull away from him, but she didn't. She sat there with Draco wraped motherly into her arms for as long as he needed. Hermione on the other hand, wouldn't mind for him to saty in her arms forever.
She loved that feeling of holding someone, it felt good and just so right. She had been held like this before by her mother, but that was before... Hermione shut her eyes and felt a tear slide down her cheek. She didn't want to remind herself of that, not when she was doing something so special to someone, especially someone like Draco.
Draco squirmed and pulled away slowly. He had gratefulness and respect glazing in his eyes, also another feeling...love. He reavhed out and brushed away her tear delicatly, he noticed that at the second he touched her face, she closed her beautiful eyes and smiled. What did this mean?
The answer to that slowly reached up a shaky hand and laced her fingers with his, still keeping his hand on her cheek. She fluttered her eyes open and grinned.
"Feeling better?" she asked softly.
"Yes, I don't know, it stopped hurting after..." he trailed off, looking into her mezmerizing eyes.
"I guess, the gole inside my heart was reaching an unberable size and you...filled it out with the one thing I never got, love and caring. Thank you Hermione." he said pulled in closer, resting his head on her chest again while she ran her hand through his blond hair.
Hermione already had tears streaming down her face and began to sob quietly. Draco knew it was because she was happy but still...he didn't like when she cried. He began to pull away from her but her hand pressed him to her again, lightly.
"Shh, Draco. I'm alright, it's just...that I'm so glad that you have finally, gotten better." she whispered to him and rested her head ontop of his. My my, I was only going to give him a letter from the headmaster and look what it turned out to, she thought.
"What letter?" asked Draco curiously. Hermione jumped.
"Oh Gods! Did I just say that out loud?" she shreiked. Draco laughed and buried his face in her chest, taking a deep breath then letting it out again. He felt Hermione smooth out his hair and gently rub her thumb against hus neck.
He felt her lean over and pick something up. He tilted his head up a bit to see what she was doing and she had picked up his wand. "Accio letters" she said and caught twp letters that had flown into her hand. Draco shifted so that his head lay on her lap and he could see what she was doing.
She smiled at him and opened one of the letters. She unfolded the green parchment and read out loud.
Dear Miss Granger I didn't have the chance yesterday to inform you of your Head girl duties, as I suspected you very a bit busy. The staff and I have decide that the Heads and prefects should have their own dining table so that they can all bond. You are all from different houses and I expect you to set an example to the younger students that their houses may all be on freindly terms. You and Mr Malfoy are to plan all the balls and after lessons clubs. I would like you two to get started on a inbetween classes club for the students so that they can expand their abbilities and knowledge. I bid you luck and that this year will go by pleasantly.
Albus Dumebledore (headmaster of H.s.o.W.a.W.)
Hermione finished and set down the letter. She smiled at Draco and he smiled back.
"Draco, you do know that lunch already passed and we just spent half the day laying on a bed, hugging." she said enthusiastycly.
"Mhm, I know Hermione." he said ,"And that's what I plan to do for just a bit more." and dug his face into her lap, sighing. Hermione laughed and hit him playfuly on the back, but let him lay there for as long as he liked, she wasn't complaining.
After what seemed like hours, though it was very pleasant, Draco shifted and slowly stood up. Hermione had fallen asleep and her head was tilted to one side. Draco smiled at her and layed her back gently, so that she slept on his bed.
She looked so peaceful and beautiful while she slept, she looked like an angel. He appreciated her and at some point loved her. But it was a different kind of love, it was the kind of love she felt towards Jeff, Ron and Harry. He knew she loved him like that too, after all, she just helped him mend the gap in his heart, and he loved her for that.
Hermione mumbled something in her sleep and shifted. She fluttered her eyes open and smiled upon seeing Draco. The tall blond smiled at her and leaned over her, whispering in her ear.
"Go back to sleep Hermione, you must be exsosted." he whispered and she did something he wasn't expecting. She kissed smack on the cheek. To his surprise he blushed and looked away. Hermione giggled and closed her eyes again, no doubt falling asleep again.
Draco looked and feeled something build in his heart, something he never felt before. His heart pumped and he was turning red, something he had never done before. It was just a kiss on the cheek! No big deal...he thought franticly but when her lips touched his skin, he felt shocks run up and down his spine. He wanted more kisses, much more.
a/n So sorry for the uneventful chapter but I needed to put the "Hermione- fills-hole-in-Draco's-heart" thing. It's just so adorable. And the stomach ache is for unknow reasons...probably just to get Hermione closer to him. I personaly don't know. Anyway, thanks to...

sam: Aww, I feel loved...sniff sniff. Thanks!
