Hermione's heart began to beat faster and faster. She was truly worried now. The footsteps had now been replaced with the sound of a key turning in the lock. She had been pushing away at a hole in the roof with the end of a discarded broomstick and it was now just big enough for her fit through. The door knob turned, and she felt faint. She was dead meat. She took a chance, and stepped onto the desk urgently as the door opened. Fiery read hair appeared. Ron asked angrily,
"Hermione, what the fuck do you think you're doing?" but Hermione could not reply as she had grabbed onto the edges of the roof and was struggling terribly to pull herself out. Ron advanced to the desk, and Hermione pulled her waist out. He was now standing on the desk, and fragments of the roof were falling away under Hermione's weight.
"Get down you stupid girl!" Ron yelled but this did not cause Hermione to give up. She was too far now, until her arm slipped and Ron grabbed hold of her. With a kick in the groin, it gave Hermione determination and she pushed herself right out onto the roof. She stood up, and looked back into the room. Ron was now trying to get out.
"Give me you hand, and I'll help you down," Ron lied.
"Pull me down and force me to hand over my fortune more like," Hermione yelled at him.
"You've probably killed Harry, you'll be sent off to Azkaban," and Ron was beginning to get onto the roof.
"Ha! Knocked out, actually."
"Well, it's still violent and offensive," he was almost standing on the roof.
"Stealing fortunes is also that."
"We have a reason, and you know that."
"A pathetic one."
"Some people need money."
"You're going to fall through the roof, you know," Hermione drawled.
"And you'll come down with me then, won't you Hermione?" and with that comment, he grabbed her wrist. Hermione moved suddenly to break his grip, but instead made both of them fall over, and this soon caused them to start slipping down the roof. Hermione was certain she would fall to her death, and if she was lucky, Ron too, and felt extremely stupid about not realising her feelings for Draco earlier. She knew now that she loved him, and the thought of him made her feel dazed. She suspected that he loved her back, but she could not be certain. Hermione looked fearfully down the roof she was sliding upon. Only a metre or two to go, and getting closer, she thought.
"HELP!!!" Ron yelled. He had grown extremely red in the face and was looking very, very upset. Hermione's stomach did a flip-flop as they fell over the edge, plunging faster and faster to the ground. Hermione felt certain that this was the very end, until she fell onto something soft, not the hard ground. She was afraid that she actually was dead, and attempted to open her eyes and move her limbs around. They did so, somewhat painfully. She suddenly recognised what she had landed in. A man's body. And a very handsome man at that.
"Hermione? You're okay?" Draco asked, concerned. Hermione was so overcome with happiness that she threw her arms around his neck, and snuggled up to him.
"I am ... because you saved me, Draco!"
"Hermione, how could you be so stupid?" it seemed that now that Draco knew that she was okay, he felt he needed to yell at her. Hermione's grip around him loosened a bit.
"It ... it wasn't my fault! I got a note asking me to go to the Astronomy tower, because Lavender wanted to find new robes with me ..."
"But why would Lavender ask you to meet her there? It's one of the furthest places from the Great Hall!"
"I don't know ..." Hermione suddenly felt depressed. She had been rescued by the most desirable person, only to be yelled at. She couldn't believe that she once thought that Draco loved her. He didn't seem to like her much at the moment.
"Luckily I found the note, and suspected it at once. Hermione, I thought you were SMART," Draco sighed in frustration.
"Oh Draco, I didn't mean to!"
"Hermione, you could have been KILLED! Do you even realise that?"
"They wouldn't dare!" and Hermione proceeded to take her arms away from around his neck. She was certain he didn't like her. He didn't like her one bit. Hermione's happiness had almost disappeared completely, and she almost started to cry. She looked up at Draco's face and saw how handsome he was, even more than Harry was, with his beautiful blonde hair and his smooth, creamy skin. She felt every bit in love with him, and gazed at him.
"I would have died without you, Draco," Hermione sighed.
"I know," was all Draco said. No yelling, nothing. Involuntarily, Hermione played with a bit of Draco's hair with her fingers. She didn't want to, but she couldn't stop herself.
"I never really loved Harry," Hermione confessed, out of the blue.
"I see."
"I was in love with this image I had of him ... I always loved someone else."
"And who was that?" Draco stared into Hermione's deep brown eyes.
"Draco! Don't tell me you don't know who I'm talking about!"
"'Mione! You're not joking are you, you're not teasing me?"
"Of course not, Draco," and she felt him draw closer to her, and he brought her into a deep kiss. It felt better than any of the others she had had before, she felt so good, because he loved her and she loved him. When they drew back, she told him,
"I love you Draco."
"I love you, 'Mione. I think we better get back to school," he replied, as darkness was falling. Hermione didn't realise how long she'd been away from Hogwarts. Draco called up his broom, and Hermione couldn't wait for the journey ... home.
