So goes Chapter 9..
Hermione awoke with the warm rays of the sun beating down on her back and Crookshanks sleeping on her feet. She slowly opened her eyes, not wanting to forget the previous nights events, and looked down. Somehow, she had managed to put some pajamas on and Harry was able to slip out during the night. Hermione thought about that for a second and then began to panic. What if Lavender or Pavarti had seen them sleeping? She looked over at the two girls beds to see if they were awake, but their red curtains were drawn tightly. Hermione breathed in deeply and went to the bathroom to shower.
" Harry!" Ron whispered loudly in his ear, poking him with his finger.
"C'mon Harry, wake up!" Harry's eyes opened and he looked up at Ron groggily.
"Quit prodding me you great prat!" Harry rolled over and smiled. He was remembering Hermione and the night before, she had said she loved him.
"What do you want Ron?"
"It's damn near 12:00 p.m. now! I was wondering when you'd get up, you were missing for half the night.
"Oh, yeah I had some homework to finish." Harry lied not wanting to upset Ron because he was a little over protective of Hermione. Ron looked at him questioningly but decided to let it go.
"C'mon Harry, go take a shower and I'll meet you in the common room." Harry nodded and went off to take a shower.
Hermione stepped out of the shower and quickly dried off, wrapping a towel around her torso and her long locks, she went to her trunk to pick out some weekend clothes. Lavender and Parvarti were sitting on the edge of her bed, smiling up at her. Hermione turned a deep crimson shade and immediately headed back to the bathroom.
"Hermione." Lavender teased. "Why was Harry running out half dressed in the middle of the night?" Lavender asked trying to seem innocently boggled. Hermione just stood there in her towels looking at the two girls. Lavender and Parvati took her stunned silence to heart. They stifled laughs and ran out of the common room trying to conceal their smiles. Hermione proceeded to pick out clothes and chose a pair of gray track pants and a loose black sweater, but then changed her mind, for some reason she wanted to look nice today. She thought of Harry and smiled. After 20 minutes of debating with herself, she finally decided on a long jean skirt with a slit up the front middle, and a tight pink tee. She muttered a calming charm for her hair and her curly locks straightened and de- frizzed. Hermione applied black eyeliner and a light pink gloss to her lips and then headed down to the common room.
She saw Ron, Fred and George playing an exciting game of exploding snap and scanned the room for Harry, but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Ron.where's Harry?"
"Mmm? Oh he went down for breakfast, well. erm. more like lunch now eh'?" Ron told her smiling, looking her up and down nervously. He turned back to the game at a loud snap. Hermione left the common room as George was engulfed in a cloud of smoke. She walked down the grand staircase receiving a few looks from some of the guys. She smiled to herself as she entered the Great Hall. Not many students were in there, only a few Ravenclaws, Malfoy, but no Harry. She turned to leave, but Malfoy saw her first, running up to her yelling,
"Hey Granger!" Hermione whirled around, her anger returning, an evil glint set in her eyes that Malfoy noticeably flinched at.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Hermione said quietly through gritted teeth, her look saying, "Try me Malfoy." He led her out of the Hall and into a nook in the front entrance. He lightly touched her arm, his loose hair falling over his eyes. He wore long beige shorts with a fairly tight white top, showing his well-defined muscles. Hermione thought of how angelic he looked and how her arm tingled under his touch. Her face softened a little at the sight of his face, but her anger still lingered slightly.
"Why did you kiss me that night in detention? It was all a joke! You were just trying to get back at Harry!? How dare you!" Hermione yelled and smacked his face. Malfoy's hand went to his cheek, rubbing it slightly but not wanting to show it hurt.
"Listen Granger, all I wanted to do was apologize, you stupid mudbl.muggle." Malfoy sneered, his voice dripping with venom. Hermione noticed that he corrected himself when he was about to insult her.
"And I wanted to show you something, but I guess you don't want to see." Malfoy said smiling evilly and turning away. Hermione argued with herself on whether or not she wanted to know. Soon after her curious side got the better of her.
"Malfoy..wait. What do you want to show me?"
"Come." Malfoy took her hand and led her outside towards a big oak tree by the lake. He stood behind it and indicated she do the same. Hermione put her back against the bark and looked at Malfoy questioningly. Malfoy put up his finger indicating to wait a moment. They stood there in silence, Hermione watching the red leaves of the trees fall to the ground. After 5 minutes Hermione began to get restless, as well as Malfoy. He broke the silence.
"There is a reason we're hiding behind an oak tree you know.you'll see." He said hanging his head in disappointment. Hermione raised an eyebrow at him, but said nothing.
"Why are you still so mad about that night in detention? It was almost a month ago." Draco said in an exasperated tone.
"WHY AM I..." Hermione started, but Malfoy silenced her pointing a finger towards the front doors. Hermione turned her head and saw two figures standing by the door. The sun was bright, so she had to squint to get a better look. Shielding the sun with her hands she got a better look at the figures. Harry was there.with Cho. Hermione's anger rose, and at the same time, her heart sank. He was holding a large book and making odd hand gestures. Cho laughed at whatever he said, and Harry embraced her in a large hug, rubbing her head with his hand. He put his arm around her shoulders and they continued walking towards the Quidditch Pitch. Hermione was overcome with tears and she sank to the ground sobbing hard. She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her, and she turned around to see Dracos face. She buried her head against his shoulder crying uncontrollably.
