Chapter Twenty-Two:
(A/N. A short chapter, I know. But it's so cool cuz you find out something VERY interesting and there's snogging. Not in that order though. Anywho, thanks to everyone who reviewed! I promise to update soon! Okay, here it is!)
He heard a knock on the door and sat up slowly, mentally cursing the person for interrupting his rest. "Come in." He called. A small brunette stepped inside and his scowl disappeared. (A/N. His frown turned upside down! Heehee. Okay that was really lame…)
"That was very embarrassing. How am I going to explain to my parent's that the boy whose been calling me awful names for six years straight is suddenly my…my what? Boyfriend?" She muttered to herself. Draco laughed and pulled her down into his lap. He kissed her face softly.
"Yes Hermione, you can say it. I'm your boyfriend." He murmured into her ear. She sighed and snuggled closer.
"It's nice to have you near me again." She said. He laughed and buried his face in her soft hair.
"I know. I missed you so much." He purred. She laughed at his tone and slapped his shoulder playfully.
"Dinner will be ready in…Oh my…" Hermione sprung out of his lap and turned scarlet as Draco raised his hand to his lips to hide a smile. Mrs. Malfoy had walked in on them. "Hermione, explain this!"
"Mum, Draco is my, well…my boyfriend." Hermione said softly. Mrs. Granger looked furious.
"You're too young to have a boyfriend!"
"I'm almost seventeen years old! I'm old enough to make my own decisions!" Hermione cried out, her eyes flashing.
"You don't know what you're talking about! This young man was making your life miserable for six years! How could your feelings change so fast! He's using you!"
"He's changed! He's a good person, and I'm in love with him." Hermione screamed. Silence filled the room as Draco and Mrs. Granger stared at Hermione in shock. Hermione was shaking in anger. Suddenly she seemed to realize what she had just said. "Oh god." She muttered before running out of the room.
