Chapter 5 : " Under Your Sky "
Draco Malfoy had a very terrible morning today . His sleep last night was totally upsetting ; if he could call it as a sleep ; his eyes opened wide much more than they closed . And because of that , now he was gifted by a big and dark circle under his eyelids . His ferocious gaze traveled every corner of paths he had walked through on the way to Great Hall , searching for that girl ; who had gave him something which is worse than a nightmare ;
A paranoid . He widened his eyes to every person he passed by , cursed on them that they were not a person that he looked for . Without he realized , he had acted very fiercely , just like a vampire That needed a fresh blood to keep alive .
It keep on continued until he reached his direction , where all of students busied themselves with some chitchat and breakfast . Draco sat brusquely on his chair , beside his two usual troll-like followers . He only tangled a bowl of soup under his table violently , his grey pale eyes didn't move a bit from the entrance door . not a bit .
" Draco . you're looking for someone ? " Goyle said directly with his full mouth , looked at his friend like he was crazy . " No . " Draco answered coldly , without even turn his gaze to him . " Then why you don't eat ? U keep on watching that door . you must be wait-" " I said NO , GOYLE . !!! He howled angrily , then pushed down his spoon deep into his bowl violently , until it streaked the robe of a third year girl that sat in front of them , made it dyed yellow . He didn't sorry her . For what . !? From the expression on her face , obviously she didn't mind it at all . Maybe she even wanted more .
Draco wrapped his leg in front of his chest , leaned lower to his chair . Had a lack of sleep and lost his will to eat were not good things to practice his patience . And then , few minutes later , in his anger , finally he saw her ; Hermione stepped slowly into the Great Hall with a single book inside her clasp . She looked quite delighted , even though the paleness hadn't went away from her face . Troubles which had tortured him for hours that felt forever for him vanished at the moment , in instance . The feel of relieved and freedom runs through his veins , moved slowly to all over his body . His lips almost curled into a smile . From a far he could saw her walked to Gryffindor table , put a smile to her two closest friends, who looked a little bit furious to her . Draco could read the moving of their lips ; Where have you been last night !? Which was answered immediately by Hermione ; Sorry . I studied until fell asleep in my room . Don't worry . Then a remorse smile curled on her lips .
" She's cured . "
Draco said to himself , kept on watching Hermione who is chatted happily with Lavender and Parvati , started to rubbed the butter to her bread .
" Yes . She's cured now , and I owe her nothing . It's over . "
He said quietly to himself , then started to gulped his pumpkin juice , observed all of the food on Slytherin table with interest .
" Well . Goyle ! Which one should I eat first . !? "

That midday , like usual , Slytherin would spend two next hours with Gryffindor in Hagrid's class . They arrived first there , watched closely at Hagrid who busied himself with a large and strong rope , tied necks of some kind of monsters that seemed like a piglet . They had a long feet , short and thick tails , with black and small eyes . It was very obvious that they didn't enjoy to being tied . They kicked the ground fiercely and shrieked loud , some of them pushed and bit the rope as hard as they could with their sharp teeth .
All of the Slytherin stood as far as possible from Hagrid , stared at those monsters with disgust . But less than five minutes later , the steps of Gryffindors made them turned around reflectively , made a humiliate face and scowled to their old foes .
Draco could saw Hermione , of course . She walked on the lead , with Potter and Weasley , who swallowed in big discussion about something that looked very interesting ; -- Quidditch - . Ron swayed his leg , imitated some of Quidditch strategy through the air . Harry answered enthusiastically , and left Hermione alone , walked in silence beside two of them , hugged her books tightly to her torso , until one of them dropped suddenly to the ground . She stopped her feet and picked them up , while Harry and Ron kept on walking without looked back at her a bit . They were too busy with their own topic , and didn't have time to mind about her , who could only kept silence and swallowed their stupid arguments about prediction about the winner of the next Quidditch world championship . Draco had always thought that that two git was always cared about that girl with sincerity , but now it seemed like his thought wasn't all true . What happened exactly was that girl who cared and gave her helping hand to them all the bloody time , even though they considered her as a boring nerd , and only came to her if they had something to asked for .
As soon as she got up of her feet , she caught that boy's gray eyes ; stared to her sharply from Hagrid's hut , kept an eye on her , until the pug-faced Pansy holding his arms tightly . She frowned in annoyance , felt abandoned . " What are you looking at , Drakie . !!!? " Again , she called him Drakie . That word made him sick and wanted to shoved her aside , hard , but the situation didn't let him to . " Nothing . " He answered flatly .
Yes . Nothing . He thought . That girl is cured , and no need to keep an eye on her anymore . Nothing about her is my problem now . it's over .
But , still nothing could made that girl out of the corner of his eyes , until he saw something that terrified him suddenly . Hermione stumbled aside abruptly , she must have been fell to the ground if there's no fence of wood beside her . She hold on her body with her arms there , her breath was hard and sprinted, her eyes was closed in pain . Draco could saw that her face was unnaturally pale , seemed like all of her blood suck up from her veins . He gasped , and almost stepped his feet to that girl . But the fact that he was a Slytherin and she was a Gryffindor blocked him from his moving . An apprehension which had vanished that morning in the Great Hall started to crept up in him again , that his duty wasn't over yet .
" Are you okay , Hermione . !? " Ron run over her , looked at her with worry , followed by Harry who helped her to stood up straight . All of the students looked at her now , like she was going to die right then . At least that is what most of Slytherins hope to happened . " You looked pale . ! Are you feeling ill !? " " NO !! " She shrieked , then let go of Harry's arms , stood up in the right position . " I'm not ill .. ! Just--just . slipped a little . That's all . " Hermione smiling weakly to all of her friends , then continued to walked to Hagrid's hut , passed Draco by , without even glance at him for a moment .
* * * * *
Seemed like Hermione had to spent her night time in that library this evening . Not because the tasks this time , but her body condition's very weird today . After she woke up that morning , everything felt so right and perfect , she felt that she has totally cured . But few hours after , exactly before Hagrid's class , her body was totally paralyzed , she couldn't feel anything , like her whole body was gone . Her energy flew away without a trace , and her bones felt like melted . She couldn't rise her body , even to stand up straight . But few seconds later , everything went back to normal . She had discussed it with madam Pomfrey , of course . She could still remember the worry on her face , and her words towards her ; " Maybe the poison had not lost entirely . drink this if you don't felt well . ! Stick to this bottle . Please promise that you never left it everywhere you go , child . ! "
Hermione pulled out that bottle from her robes , put it right on the level of her hazel eyes . But however that may be , she couldn't stand still and do nothing . She had this past two hours with searched anything about that snake and the poison in few books . But she also could find nothing important there , which had made her a little hopeless .
Not so long afterward , a quick stride behind her back had aware Hermione that she wasn't alone in that room anymore . That person kept on walking through her , then vanished behind the book shelves . He came back with few book in his grip and sat a few seats from her , started to flap the pages swiftly . Hermione tried her best to ignored him , continued to read words by words on her own . But however , their conversation couldn't be evaded anymore . Draco closed the book in front of him , then stared at her , followed by a question . " What are you reading ? " His tone described that he's already know the answer . " What makes you care anyway ? " She answered without even lifted up her face . Without expected , Draco got up from his chair fiercely , walked towards her , and put his right palm beside the book . " About that snake , isn't it !? " " NO . Nothing had happened to me today , anyway . ! I didn't have to know anything about that snake . " She answered quickly , still bended her head down to her book , but obviously couldn't concentrate there in any way .
" Look at ME !! "
He shrieked in rage , gripped her upper arm tightly , pulled her aside , forced her to looked at him. And she did . That girl looked at him then , the girl who had took away his calmness , attention , and joy in one day which felt like a century , a girl that had captivated him into her world , under her sky . What he could do just stared at her like crazy , stuck in such a torturing spell . And now , that girl looked at him in shock , rage , but also fear . and hurt . Draco realized that he had harmed her with his grip , but he didn't care about it anymore . " I know you are NOT fine . You're almost fainted this noon , not SLIPPED . ! And I know what the hell you are reading . You took it --- " " If that's true , I think it's none of your business . What had made you to cared about it . !? " She cut him off . tried to released her arm from his pale and frozen fingers . " Of course that was my business ! You were bitten by that bloody snake and that's all because of me , and I owe you for that ! Do you get it now . !? " Hermone dropped her jaw . " Owe me . !? I never say anything about it ! You owe me nothing , Malfoy !! " " I don't care whether you mentioned it or not . " Draco raked his fingers to his hair , looked very depressed . He closed his eyes for a moment , then looked away . " I wouldn't rest in peace until I find the way to cure it . 'A very big debt that hadn't been paid ' ---- that's how it felt like . Horrible . " Hermione snorted . " I think the right sentence was ; ' A very big debt that hadn't been paid to a filthy mudblood whom I loathed for years , and that will be very embarassing to my great Malfoy reputation over the Slytherins . ' , am I right . !? " Draco just stared at her , didn't say anything . But she could feel that this boy was serious . And What's wrong if she receive a help from a person who wanted to help her ?
" DO you have a plan for this ? " Draco raised his shoulders . " Well .. almost all of the book in here didn't give me anything . I think we could find another books at public library . " Her desire floated at the moment , as soon as she heard about it . " Public library . !? Is it huge ? Where's it located !? " She couldn't hide her joyfulness . " There's a special train to get there . I think . maybe at christmas vacation we can go there and find some books . I certain we will find many important information there . " Hermione thought for a moment . " I can't .. I should be at home all over the holiday . except - " " Except . ? " He asked . Raised one of his eyebrow . " Nothing . Just forget it . " " Except I stay in your home , then I go home as soon as we find it . !? " Hermione was very surprised , her mind had entirely exposed .
" A-almost like that . But that's just a silly idea of my insolvent wits . Just - forget - it , OK .!? I will go there by myself-" " I agree , if there's no another way . " Hermione startled , looked at him like he was crazy . " I saw that you said that without thinking , am I right . !? And if you don't even know the consequences of your words , let me tell you now ! " Draco didn't made any changes to his expression , still flat and dreary like usual . Hermione continued her words . " You will live under the same roof and surrounded by the muggles everyday , and live without magic . ! Your father will rip you into pieces , and you will regret what you have said before as soon as you step your feet into - " " That is my problem and I don't care whatever you want to say . This problem will finish immediately , and everything will go back to normal . Now , all you have to do is say that you are agree . "
His gray eyes looked through her , and a very strong oppression started to run through her veins . His sincerity made her could say nothing else . She breathed in deeply , then answered ;
" I agree . "
