Hermione opened the door to her home and as she closed the door, she leaned against it, breathing hard. She knees were shaking, and her heart beat as fast as a roller coster. She never knew how charming Draco Malfoy could be. She softly pinced herself, forcing herself to believe that these past two days were all a dream. She hoped that if it was a dream, that she wouldn't wake up as of yet. After composing herself, she walked to her bathroom and started a warm bath. It was almost eleven o'clock, and she was exhusted, but she wanted to clear her mind. She slipped into the warm tub full of grotesque bubbles and closed her eyes. A picture of the new Draco Malfoy flashed in her mind, and she quickly re-opened her eyes. A pit in her stomach grew and grew, everytime she thought of him.
Spending nearly an hour in the bath, she dried herself off and in her bathroom, she lay on her couch and turned on her television. She flipped throught the channels, but the many colours of the screen faded into the backround as her mind drifted off, replaying that night's events. As her finger stopped, the channel on the television, just happened to be a quidditch game between England and Albania. The annoncer's voice suddenly howled with excitment, causing Hermione to snap out of her daze.
"And it's 70 to 50 for England!" The annoncer exclaimed. Hermione focused on what was on the television and realized that it was Ron's team that was playing; and winning! She sat upright and watched the game intensely, remembering how fun it was to watch Ron play as Chaser and Harry as seeked on the Gryffindor team. She watched the full game that ended at 1:15 in the morning with England winning the game. She dragged her tired body up the stairs to her bedroom. Barely opening her eyes, she shoved Crookshanks to the egde of the bed and slipped under the covers.
Hermione spent the weekend marking her students work and preparing for the following week's lessons. She also received a letter from Harry, which was delivered by Hedwig on Sunday afternoon.
"Well hello there Hedwig!" Hermione stroked the white owl, "Long time, no see huh?"
The owl hooted in response and then flew over to Cocoa's cage for a drink of water. Hermione opened the letter and read.
Dear Hermione,
I was so glad to get that letter you sent me, and was very pleased to hear from you! I'm doing fine, although quidditch is getting rougher as we draw closer to play-off season. Our team isn't doing that bad, we just left from Germany, were we played a three-game series, with us winning two of the three. The six teams in this year's play-offs is England (where Ron is playing now), Bulgaria, Egypt, Russia, Italy and last, the team I'm playing on; Grece. Our team has been holding practises almost everyday of the week, except for Sundays, and it's just tiring, and yet a lot of fun. I'm sure you know what I mean, seeing as you teach three classes a day with a bunch of ten year olds. Are they difficult to teach, kind of like Ron and I? Or are they more like you were at Hogwarts!! Well, I, too hope that the three of us can get together really soon and plan something, because it has been awhile since we've seen each other. I don't think it'll happen anytime soon, because of play-offs, but I'm certain that once play-offs are complete, then we'll have all the time in the world. I haven't got any new photos as of yet, but I'll be sure to send you one as soon as I take on! Take care, and I'll hopefully see you soon!
Lots of love, Harry Potter
She was glad that Harry was having fun, and hoped to see him and Ron soon. She put the letter in the drawer where she put Ron's and continued her marking.
Monday arrived, and her classes went well. She talked to each student individually and talked to them about their progress, and how they would be receiving their acceptance letter soon from one of the three witchcraft and wizardry schools. By her third class, she saw once again Draco Malfoy outside waiting with the children to say hi. She didn't speak long with him, but promised to talk after school was over.
She was surprised to see that in the span of one weekend, Dialo was able to complete every worksheet that he was given, and had caught up to where the class was now at.
"Dialo, are you telling me that you were able to complete all the worksheets from September up to now in April?" Her eyes were wide, and she didn't notice that many of her students were listening. Dialo only nodded.
"And you promise that you didn't do magic to hoelp you finish this?" Hermione continued asking.
"No ma'am. My uncle helped me understand a few of the sheets, but I promise that I spent all weekend working to catch up," he said.
"Wow," was all Hermione could say, "Very well, I'll mark all these tonight. You can continue with today's assignment on the board with everyone else."
After making a mental note to correct all the sheets, she stood in front of the class and explained to them a project that they would be doing for the next week with a partner about the birth of magic and its significance. The class groaned in unison not wanting to work on a project. After choosing partners, each group began researching their project, until class was dismissed.
"Venus!" Hermione heard Malfoy's voice say as he popped his head in the classroom. She smiled as she looked at him.
"Your Dialo is a very bright child," she told him. He grinned, and ruffled Dialo's hair.
"I know, he gets it from his uncle!" Hermione giggled and walked outside to the car with the two.
"Do you want us to drop you off?" Malfoy asked. The sun reflected off Malfoy's platinum hair, his silver eyes glowing in the sun's light. She couldn't resist.
"Sure!" She got in the front seat beside Malfoy and drove off towards her building. She thanked him again, after making another dinner arrangement for the next night.
Tuesday came quickly and passed quickly, and soon it was night. Inside Hermione's apartment, she got ready for a more casual dinner date with Malfoy. She wanted to tell him the truth about her, but was afraid of its consequences. She wore blue jeans and a red halter top, with a blue jean jacket on top. She gathered her hair into a high ponytail, and grabbed her purse, making her way down to the lobby, where she was to meet him.
They went to a drive-through movie and giggled as they watched a comedy movie. It was a night that Hermione would never forget.
After picking up an ice cream shake, Malfoy dropped her in front of her apartment building. She had to tell him the truth now.
"Draco," she started. It was the first time that she had used his first name, and it felt good coming out of her lips. He silenced her, placing his finger on her lips. He leaned in, his hand softly touching her cheek. He gazed into her chocolate brown eyes. Their lips tangled in a sweet kiss that sent Hermione melting in his arms. This ruined everything. She wanted to tell him who she was, but knew now that he wasn't in love with her, but with Venus. After the kiss, he backed off, watching her slowly open her eyes. She knew that this day would come eventually, but never in her entire life did she picture it with Draco Malfoy.
"Goodnight," Hermione whispered breathlessly, then got out of the car before he could say anything else. She walked confidently to her apartment, but nearly collapsed the second she was inside her home. She couldn't tell him now. It was too late.
