For Who They Really Are
Diclaimer - My bad!! I forgot to disclaim last time. I disclaim!! I don't own anything except of course for the stupid ideas that I come up with. do you think it's stupid?
A/N: Guess what?!? This is part two!! This is where the damn cliff-hanger is resolved!- Dude, does that make any sense to you? I need more inspiration. I haven't really been getting that many reviews but never the less I will continue for the people who believe in me!! Yey for you!! The author's best friend is the reviews and I just submitted part one like an hour ago. how impatient am I? Oh well, I've got so many ideas for this story that is probably why I'm not stopping. should I stop? Maybe I wasn't meant to write, maybe I should just stick to playing the guitar and listening to music. maybe I should shut up and let you read.
Part 2:
Author's P.O.V:
"Herm. what's wrong?" Draco paced across the room. He found Hermione on one of the couches, crying her heart out. She looked up at Draco and cried even harder.
"It's just." She sobbed which caused Draco to run to her. Hermione weakly lifted her arms cluing Draco to pick her up. Draco carefully lifted her in his arms and took a seat with Hermione is his lap.
"Shhh. it's going to be okay." Draco said soothingly.
"It. it's. not." She cried even harder. "I'm an orphan."
Draco was shocked at what Hermione said. He rocked her back and forth.
"No you're not." He whispered. "You've got a big family. Who loves you to bits and you've got me, who's willing to die for you."
Hermione looked up at Draco and played with the words in her heads and soon enough she was crying again.
"I don't want you to die." She cried.
Draco looked at her confused. He thought about what he had said. 'willing to die.'
'Real smooth Draco.' He thought to himself. 'I can't believe you said that. IDIOT!!'
"I didn't mean it that way." He began.
"Sh." Hermione managed to let out. "Don't say anything anymore. I just need a good cry."
Draco nodded his head and carried Hermione to her bed. He watched as she continued to weep. Soon enough she was fast asleep and Draco was getting tired as well. The second he let Hermione go she began to stir.
"I'll stay with you." He whispered in her ear and wrapped his arms around her. She nodded her head and Draco smiled to himself.
The next morning.
Draco woke up early the next morning. He went back to his room and got changed for the day. Hermione provided muggle clothes for him to use.
He went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. He slipped on a pair of jeans and a white polo. He parted his hair in the middle and just let it dry naturally. He put his glasses on again, he knew that Hermione loved it when he wore his glasses and let his hair fall naturally. When Draco walked back to Hermione's room there were two guys seated on her bed. Jason and Julian, Hermione introduced them yesterday.
"Draco." Jason nodded his head. He looked back at Hermione. "Come on punkin let's play some ball."
Hermione clued Draco to take a seat beside her on her bed. "Let me just get dressed. You guys stay here."
She walked towards her bathroom and looked back.
"J, Jace. be nice!" She eyed her cousins.
Hermione walked out in a big shirt and shorts. Her hair was tied in a very messy ponytail.
"I'm going to kick your asses." She stuck out her tongue.
"Now Hermione dear you know that we don't used that kind of tone in this house." A new voice came into the room. I turned to see Miss Jenkins.
"Sorry." Hermione shrugged. She walked over to her dresser and grabbed a baseball cap. She placed it on her head and smiled at the people in front of her.
"You are just full of words today aren't you?" Jason laughed pointing to her shirt and cap.
Her shirt read: It's a good thing you're cute (in front) cause damn, you're dumb! (back)
Her cap read: I play ball but not with you!
"Loser!" She lifted her finger and her thumb in a shape of an L.
"Come on!" her Jason ran to her and carried her.
"Put me down, now!!" She whined. Jason put her down and she ran to Draco's side.
"Come on." She looked up at him. "You two go on ahead." She looked at her cousins. They glared at first but obeyed. Draco was in awe at how much power Hermione had.
"You look so cute." She clapped her hands. "And you're all mine! But you're got to change into shorts and a looser shirt."
Hermione took out her wand and summoned Draco's clothes. He wore a tight sleeveless shirt and a pair of basketball shorts and shoes. Hermione giggled when he walked out of the bathroom.
"Come on." Hermione took his hand and they walked to the back of the house.
They walked up to the basketball court.
"Okay you guys time to play." Hermione smiled. "But we've got to teach Draco how to play."
The two boys looked shocked.
"Where are you from Mars?" Julian asked seriously. Jason laughed. Hermione hit them both.
For the first hour they taught Draco all about basketball. Then they began to play.
"Not bad for a first timer." Jason nodded his head after the game.
"Thanks." Draco looked at him. Draco and Hermione were on one team while the other two on the other. They had won by 1 point thanks to Hermione.
Her cousins walked back into the house.
"Damn, I didn't know you played so well." Draco wrapped one arm around her.
"I wouldn't have my body if I just sat down and read." Hermione shook her head. "That was fun wasn't it?"
"Are you kidding?!?" Draco looked at her. "It's better than Quidditch!"
Hermione laughed at her boyfriend.
"I'll agree with you on that one my dear." She leaned in to kiss him. "I don't see what you guys see in that dumb game."
"This is where I must draw the line!" Draco eyed Hermione.
"Whatever!" She shook her head. She smiled at Draco mischievously and ran into the house. "See you around."
"Why." He ran after her.
She made it to the house before Draco did. When Draco finally reached her, he was all out of breath.
"Looks like someone's too dependent on his broom." Hermione shook her head.
"I need. air!!" Draco gasped.
Fear took over Hermione's expression. "Oh no! Baby, are you okay." She looked at Draco. He took a deep breath and his hands found their way to Hermione's waist.
"Draco, stop!!" She giggled. A few minutes later he let her go. She glared at Draco. "That was soooooo not funny!!" She wrinkled her nose.
"That's my favorite expression on you." He pinched it.
Hermione raised an eyebrow, "You said that when I bit my lip was your favorite expression."
"Anything looks good on you, baby." He said sweetly.
"Ayeesh!!" Hermione's eyes grew big. "Lines glorious lines!!!"
"It was not." Darco protested.
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." She smiled.
Draco was definitely enjoying this day. He was so used to see Hermione smiling. Whether or not her parents died he wanted her to smile.
"What?" Hermione's smile faded.
"Nothing." Draco smiled. "I won't tell you. you'll probably just say it's a line."
"I want to hear it." She stomped her foot, feisty one she is. "I enjoy hearing it even though I know it's a line. It builds my ego." She rubbed her hands together looking like a child.
"Well, baby." He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "I just love seeing you smile, you shine like the stars."
"Okay, that was not a line. That was just." Hermione giggled. "Really cheesy!!"
"Fine." He let go of her. Hermione saw that he was just pretending and decided to play a long.
"Whatever." She looked at him and began walking to her room. "I'll see you around."
Draco believing Hermione watched her. He waited for her to turn around.
"Hermione!" Draco whined.
"What?" She pretended to look annoyed.
"Don't leave me!!"
Hermione rolled her eyes and then looked at Draco's. They stood there in silence. "Well, what are you standing there for?"
Draco smiled at ran to Hermione.
"Why are you so irritable today?" Draco whispered in her ear as they sat down on one of the couches.
"Draco, I was just acting." She rested her head on his lap.
"Oh." he kissed her forehead. "Don't we have to go to your grandmother's house?"
Hermione sat up. "She supposed to send the ashes here this afternoon."
Her eyes begin to well up. "Baby, don't cry."
Hermione bit her lip. "I won't."
She stood up and walked to her desk.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked worriedly.
"It's nothing." She turned away from him.
"I want you to tell me." He knelt down in front of her.
"Well." She began. "Really it's nothing."
"Please." He ran his finger through his hair. Hermione watched how every strand fell perfectly into place messily (you know what I mean?!?).
Hermione removed Draco's glasses and smiled.
"What did you use when you weren't wearing glasses?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing." Draco shrugged.
"So why are you wearing them?" She removed it. Draco carefully took it back from her and smiled.
"Because you think it looks good on me." He beamed like a little boy who just got a new toy car.
"That's so sweet." Hermione giggled and gently kissed him on the lips. Draco took this as a clue and her returned her kisses. He didn't want to make the wrong move so he let Hermione go on her own pace, he had no idea what that was though.
"Herm." He pulled away from her. "You're changing the topic."
"What?" She pretended to look confused.
"You know." Draco looked at her sternly.
"It's just Harry and Ron." Hermione rambled.
"You miss them don't you?" Draco asked.
Before he even answered Hermione automatically said no.
"You do. And I don't see why you are so angry with them." Draco shook his head.
"Because of what they did to Marisa." Hermione looked at him.
"What did they do?" Draco asked her.
Hermione thought for awhile. She had to admit that Harry and Ron did not really do anything wrong. "It's just."
"You're angry at Harry because he made Ron break up with Marisa. Marisa's a big girl she can take care of herself."
"I know. it's just she so fragile. and what happened that day wouldn't have happened if Harry wasn't being so selfish." Hermione reasoned out.
"You don't know that." Draco had no idea why he was defending the two. "And I see why you are mad but do you think Marisa would want to be the cause of breaking a great friendship. She knows what it's like to be a friend and you know that she's good at it. She would want you to forgive them, I know it."
"Why are you defending them?" Hermione looked confused yet pleased. "You hate them."
"I had to. Now I don't have a reason too and besides." He put his hand in hers. "This feels right."
"I don't know." Hermione began.
Draco took a ballpen and a piece of paper. He began to write.
He smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll go take a shower now."
"Me too." She smiled at him. He handed her the piece of paper and left the room.
She unfolded the paper and in Draco's handwriting it read.
"A person who can't forgive has been forgiven." - anonymous
I don't see the reason.
I love you, baby. Make the right decision.
Hermione smiled at Draco's gesture. She stood up from her seat and walked into the bathroom.
