Chapter 5

~~*~~

He traced his fingers higher and higher lacing between her hair and skin until he felt a jagged healed wound just beneath her right breast.

She gasped when he touched it, she sat up so fast trying to cover it, she had forgotten all about it.

Sure it was only a scar now but the memories started flooding her mind so fast, she grabbed her top and quickly put it on, as if it would delete the moment and the memories, but she was too obvious to Draco.

He was just staring, watching her actions, he was so worried about what was going through her head and how did she get this scar?

Believe it or not, he felt guilty for even going this far, he just wanted to understand.

It was as if she forgot about Draco, like he wasn't even there anymore. She sat on a chair opposite to her bed; she looked up and saw him staring at her.

"Hermione.are you alright?" she had a distant look in her eyes and just looked at him as if he was talking in riddles.

He asked her if she wanted to talk about it, he was being really sincere.

"Not really" she told him in a whisper, he hardly heard her, her voice was ragged, he walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her, as he slowly felt his chest get wet from her silent tears.

She felt so safe in his arms, so warm and loved "I wont pressure you into anything you don't want okay?" he assured her before kissing her forehead.

She never answered, and after a while of looking at her face, she fell asleep in his arms.

He scooped her up and slowly laid her on the bed and gently put a blanket on her as if she was a precious baby that would break.

He just stood there for a while staring at her, she was so beautiful but so tiny and delicate.

He kissed her forehead then decided to leave her there to dream in peace.

"Draco" she whispered reaching for his hand.

"Please don't go yet" her hair was all messed up and tangled around her face; she pulled him on to her bed.

He couldn't resist her lazy smile and lay next to her cuddling. They both fell asleep.

~~*~~

She woke up earlier then usual and noticed Draco's arms around her still.

He must've dozed of too, she didn't want the complication of waking up still in his arms so she quietly got dressed and headed to the great hall for breakfast.

~~*~~

Once he awoke, the surroundings were totally different to his room, instead of waking up to the loud snore of his two thugs, he woke to the sweet smell of daisies, then he remembered about the previous night.

He rolled over imagining how beautiful she must look first thing in the morning but he was disappointed, instead he found a note.

Hay Draco,
Sorry about last night, gone to breakfast, Hermione.

Dam, he thought, he wanted so much, to wake up and cuddle her, he was sure that he knew that he more than liked her, he was positive that he was falling in love with her and he needed more than anything to tell her.

He fixed himself up, washed his face, and trying to avoid the weird stares as he made his way out of the tower.

He was just about to push the door open when Harry was lazily making his way in.

They just glared at each other for a wild moment; Harry was absolutely mortified, Why was he in the gryffindor tower? had she slept with him? Why is he alone? Too many questions, he was clueless.

Draco wanted to rub Harry's face in it but he decided to be nice for once, just for Hermione's sake and simply greeted him in a chirpy voice "morning potter" he smiled and ran down to the great hall to find Hermione.

She wasn't there so he went and sat with those two goons, to his surprise, Pansy was snogging Goyle. Typical he thought.

But as soon as he sat down she started flirting with him, it was disgusting, it was as if she went after anything that Hermione did.

~~*~~

She went to the lakefront again, it was so calm and quiet down there. She wished she could be ignored; she just wanted to be free, not worry about anyone or anything. Just do what she wanted, like a butterfly did, but that was only a dream, a dream so far away.

Her thoughts broke of by a yell behind her, it was Harry.

"HOW COULD YOU!" she was tired and confused, she didn't need him agonising her so she told him to "FUCK OFF" as she walked away, but he followed, he had to set the tables straight once and for all.

He could tell she was in one of her stubborn moods, so the only way he could make her listen was by what he did best when he was in close range with her.

He followed her and pushed her up against the wall with all his might holding her there for a moment.

She tried to free her self but he was just too strong "get off me, leave me alone," he held her there for a moment and they just gazed into each others eyes, she could tell he was hurt about something.

What ever it was, she knew that she had finally got what she wanted, she had made him pay, he was really hurting, she removed her eyes.

"What do you want?" she asked as she noticed liquid jewels forming in his eyes.

He had released her a bit "how could you Hermione, I cant believe it, you actually slept with him" she just stared, her temper rising, sure it was hurting her seeing that he was on the verge of crying but she was more hurt at his accusation.

"Excuse me? First you cheat on me, and then you accuse me of steeping as low as you? How dare you!" he had a curious look in his eyes as he pushed into her a bit tighter, he was still hurting, he couldn't hold his tears back much longer, or his long awaited confession.

"You know I thought our love meant something, to think that you actually thought I would even look at another girl wether I was with you or not, you're the only thing that's on my mind, don't you get it Hermione?"

"What are you saying?"

"Sure pansy hated you, but no way near as much as me, I never kissed, touched or slept with that piece of trash!

"But the thing that hurts the most isn't the fact that you slept with the person that hates me so much, but that I will love you no matter what, even if you couldn't care less"

Wow, she knew the truth, he didn't sleep with her, he never loved her, only me, but why on earth did he think that I slept with Draco?

She hadn't seen him since yesterday afternoon; she pushed him off her lightly and stared at him intensely.

"If our love counted for something Harry then how come it took you so long to tell me this aye? And what gives you the right of accusing me of sleeping with Draco? Where's your proof?"

"How dumb to you think I am?"

"Obviously dumber then you give yourself credit for!"

"I saw him leaving the common room"

"So? Is that your proof?"

"I know you slept with him! Why cant you just admit it?" she couldn't believe it, he was really positive that she did this so she gave him the satisfaction he had been begging for, it seemed it was the only thing that would shut him up.

"Okay, fine. I slept with Draco, is that what you want to hear? Yeah it was great"

His breathing became harsh, she spoke again "don't know why you care anyway, you stopped loving me a very long time ago, funny thing happened the other day, I blushed, I hadn't done that in a very long time." She was crying now.

"He makes me feel special, unlike you, you just pushed me away, it was like you wanted me to hate you and Draco is always there for me, you don't care.you don't care, but he does." She was hurting just as much as he was now.

"Look Harry, I loved you, lots, but you screwed up, you.not me.so don't turn this on me.I LOVED YOU!" she screamed.

He was definitely hurting, he knew he had abandoned his feelings for her, for way to long, he pushed her away for the last month that they were officially together, but he just didn't want to admit to how strong his love was for her, he just didn't want to admit to it.then this all happened and all he could do was admit to his heart.

She had left him there, he heard her mumbling and gently sobbing "think what you want Harry, it doesn't matter any more, just doesn't matter".

That's the end of that one, a bit disappointing, but im wondering if I should just hurry up and finish it or carry on a bit longer with it. But now that Hermione knows the truth, will she go back to harry? Or build something stronger with draco?
