Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter or anything else you recognize from the books
Hey, sorry I haven't updated In a little while, it was a very busy week!! Yikes! Anyway, I'm so thrilled about all my reviews thanx so much.
Kel- No, I don't think Hermione is going to back and change that event, because as I said before in the story, time is not a good thing to mess with, and I never really thought about another name, but I can try and tie it in.
Tania Nightqueen- Thanx for the advice!
Li-Chan- Uhh, yes the whole Ron being a prick is part of the story line. I guess I could always take it out and make it work, cuz I really didn't like writing it either but, it adds to the drama, and well it makes things a lot easier for me to write in the future, you might get what I mean after this chapter. So anyway sorry if you like Ron, believe me I tried to think of another way, but I think I like how its going.
Last time.
"…So yes, I'll be your girlfriend." One of Draco's rare mega-watt smiles appeared on his face, and he pulled her into a passionate kiss. At that moment all walls either of them had built came crashing down under the intensity of the long desired kiss.
Draco and Hermione spent the rest of the day together reflecting on things, and sharing stories and memories, as well as a few kisses here and there. They both agreed that this was the best part of their new relationship, and they vowed that nothing would change between them, like no weirdness now that they had a title, because as every teenager knows, sometimes that happens. But both were happy, because they finally released their sexual tension.
Hermione was still quite shaken up, and occasionally would go teary eyed again when things got too quiet and she had time to think about it. Draco noticed one time, and pulled her closer to him.
"What's wrong?" Hermione sighed, she didn't necessarily know if she could put all of what she was thinking into words.
"I don't know… I guess I'm just," there was a really long pause "Confused. I, I cant even believe that Ron would do that, I mean he's probably kicking himself for it right now, because he does a lot of stupid stuff without thinking when he's angry, that plus he jumped to conclusions. I mean I want to forgive him, and I suppose I could always rationalize it and say that it was my fault, but I can't. He was my best friend for 6 years, and a lover for a year and a half of it, he knows me best out of anyone, my fears, my hopes, my needs. He knows how much I value my virginity, and then he goes and takes it, after I made it clear that I didn't want anything to do with him in the boyfriend/girlfriend sense. I still don't think he knows how much he hurt me, and now he'll never know because as far as I'm concerned I never want to talk to him again. Yes, I'm going to try and forgive him, but I'll never forget." Hermione felt slightly more comfortable after getting everything out in the open. Draco was contemplating things in his head, He didn't think that he could ever forgive him, and he wasn't even the victim, Draco had no idea how Hermione was going to.
"Well, do you want to report this to Dumbledore? He could probably put a restraining order on him or something." Hermione thought it over but thought it best not to tell anyone.
"I think, I want to keep this secret. If we tell Dumbledore, Ron'll probably just get more angry. Beside, I don't want anyone to know, I'm too ashamed."
"There's no need to be ashamed Hermione, there's nothing you could have done to stop it."
"I guess so… Draco?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm glad you're here, thanx." She looked up at him and gave him a small smile, before kissing him. In the middle of their kiss, Draco's stomach growled really loud. Hermione broke the kiss and started giggling. She looked at the clock it was 4 and they had been sitting there since morning. No wonder he was hungry.
"Is Draco hungry?"
"A steak is sounding really good right now"
"Well we could go down to the kitchens and just skip dinner."
"Okay" they got up and started walking, but Hermione was soon swept up by Draco, he carried her all the way down the stairs to the portrait, but then she made him put her down. Draco was still surprised about how light she was. Draco noticed Hermione was walking funny, he assumed it was because she was sore, but she forbade him from carrying her in the halls, saying how odd it would look, since most people thought they still had some sort of grudge against each other.
After getting a mountain of food, they carried it back to their dorms, so they could eat. They ate in silence for the most part. Neither of them knew how hungry they were until they smelled the food, it was almost like they inhaled their food it was gone so quick. But in the middle of their meal, Draco decided to gross Hermione out.
"Hey Hermione" he said with his mouth full. Hermione looked at him instead of her plate. Draco stuck his tongue out, which held a big wad of chewed up steak. Hermione's face contorted with disgust, and she grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him before lunging on top of him. They somehow ended up on the ground, Hermione had Draco pinned to the floor.
"You are so disgusting; I hope you don't eat like that in front of your parents!"
"Are you kidding? They'd kill me! So give me a break, school is like vacation."
"Oh because it's so terribly hard to chew with your mouth closed and not talk?" she teased.
"Exactly!" he smirked
"You're hopeless! You big dolt!" she laughed at him.
"As long as I'm your hopeless dolt"
"Always, you're mine now and forever" Damn she looks so sexy right now thought Draco. Her hair was hanging down, and she had a smile playing on her lips. He, used all his strength and flipped her when her guard was down, so now he was on top, and he claimed her with his lips. Hermione welcomed this, and brought her arms around his neck, one hand occasionally playing with his hair. Draco, had his hands on her waist, and he was drawing circles with her fingers. Hermione started sucking on his bottom lip, and a groan came from his throat. Draco thought he had died and gone to heaven. However she soon pulled away, and just searched his eyes.
"You're beautiful Hermione" Draco was in a trance like state, mesmerized by her eyes.
"How can you be so wonderful?"
"It must be a gift" he said with a grin on his face, Hermione hit him on the shoulder.
"I need to do my homework" she rolled out from underneath Draco.
"Some things never change"
"What, just because I have a wonderful boyfriend doesn't mean that I'm gonna let my grades slip, you can come study with me if you want." So Draco and Hermione studied together, until she wanted to go to bed.
The next day, they lounged around the common room, and Hermione showed Draco her bewitched tv and got him hooked on some of her favorite shows. Draco was amazed at that little black box, it was so cool. But unfortunately the head/prefect meeting was right in the middle of the the 5th wheel, a very interesting dating show. A depressed looking Draco, and amused looking Hermione walked down to the headmasters office hand in hand. The halls were bare, no one was really out much on Sundays, most were too busy trying to get their homework done.
"Hermione" Draco whined. "I really wanted to see who they all picked"
"Don't worry, we can watch it later, I taped it." Dracos face lit up.
"You're the best" he leaned over to give her a quick kiss
"I know, and you're addicted."
"I am no such thing, I just think its all very interesting."
"Uhhuh whatever." Their arguing continued all the way until they reached Dumbledores office, they were the first to arrive so they sat down right next to eachother. Dumbledore smiled when he saw them hand in hand, he knew it would happen eventually. Hermione brought up a few things with Dumbledore before all the prefects came. The meeting went by smoothly, but Draco noticed Hermione was a little skittish and bitter towards the boy prefects, he guessed the rape had more of an effect on her than the thought. She had been pretty calm the day it happened, but this was the first time she'd seen a boy other than Draco since the rape. He figured it was normal and would go away, but grabbed her hand, and gave her a reassuring squeeze. They had started to plan the Halloween masquerade that meeting. The rest of the day went by as normal, and Draco finally saw the rest of the 5th wheel. After the show they started talking, about how they thought people would react to their relationship. Draco and Hermione had gotten into a bad habit this year of shocking people.
On Monday morning Draco and Hermione decided to eat at the teachers table so they could sit together, Hermione kept giving nervous glances over at Ron, but Ron hadn't seemed to notice she was even there. When breakfast was over, they left the great hall, Draco arm laced around Hermione's waist, earning several glares. When they got to potions they sat next to each other and started talking, they were the first ones in the room, Pansy follwing. Hermione felt someone tap her on the shoulder.
"What did you do to my Draco you mudblood bitch, is he under some spell? You'd better take him off of it" screeched Pansy. Draco jumped up out of his seat and stood in front of Hermione.
"I'm not yours Pansy, why won't that pass through your thick skull and into the pea you have for a brain, and no I'm not under any spell."
"What are you talking about, you wouldn't willingly touch her!"
"I can and I will." He turned around and Kissed Hermione hard. Pansy was appalled and pushed him out of the way and slapped Hermione.
"You bitch" Hermione wasn't gonna take that shit from Pansy, she got up and punched Pansy right in the nose, causing it to bleed.
"Don't ever touch me, or next time I'll do something worse to you" she threatened, and Draco pulled her into his arms. At that moment Ron and Harry walked in. Hermione let out an involuntary whimper. Ron stormed over and pushed Draco. Harry ran up behind Draco and tried to pull him back, he didn't want Ron to get expelled.
"Get off of her Malfoy, she's mine!" Hermione started shaking, and Harry walked over to her, and tried to comfort her. He wasn't sure why Hermione liked Draco but it didn't matter because she was always there for him so she'd always be there for her. Pansy was watching the whole thing at a distance.
"Don't talk about her like a possession, she's not anybodys Weasel."
"You've corrupted her!" Ron Punched Draco In the stomach and again in the face. Hermione couldn't bear to watch this. Draco was doing his best not to hit Ron. But he couldn't help it and he punched him hard in the jaw. Hermione ran over and stood between them, and Harry too followed.
"Stop!" she cried. But Ron wouldn't listen and threw another punch, but instead of hitting Draco it hit Hermione right in the stomach, he still didn't know he was hitting Hermione and threw another punch at the face, Hermione fell unconscious, and only then did Ron realize what he had done. But Draco was one step ahead of Ron and picked her up and ran to the hospital wing with Ron and Harry following behind. They were all being treated for their wounds, and all got letters home about the incident. Ron had already been healed and left, but Harry stayed behind. Hermione finally woke up, and saw Harry sitting next to her, she wondered where Draco was.
"Hi" Harry said. "Feeling okay?"
"I have a little headache but I'm okay. Where's Draco is he okay?"
"Ya, he's over there with madam Pomphrey. Listen I don't know what you see in him but I'll support whatever decision you make, as long as you don't switch sides or anything like that. I'll try to get through to Ron, he was being a prat, keeps on jumping to conclusions (Harry doesn't know about the rape) that was really dumb of him though, even if he is jealous, he should know that it hurts you anyway. But anyway be careful Hermione I don't want you to get hurt, your like my little sister I love you."
"Oh harry! I love you too! It's good to have a big bro like you around" she said and gave him a hug.
"Anyway, I'll see ya later I'm gonna get back to class."
"Bye" Draco walked over after Harry left, and sat down on her bed.
"How ya feeling?"
"I'm okay, you?"
"Never been better" he picked up her hand and kissed it.
"I hope we don't lose our spots as heads."
"We didn't don't worry." A noise from the other side of the hospital wing turned their heads and they watched as Lucius Malfoy came walking in.
"What's he doing here" asked Hermione nervously.
"I don't know" Draco got up and walked over to greet his father.
"Son, I got a letter about the fight. You can not do that anymore as much as I'd like to see all the gryffindors dead. When you're a head you have privelages, and some of those might come in handy with the dark lord. You need to keep your position. And what were you doing defending the mudblood anyway?" Lucius looked over at Hermioe's bed where she was reading a book. She was wearing a hospital gown that exposed her arms, so her mark was showing. Lucius did a doubletake.
"Who's in that bed?"
"Hermione Granger"
"That can't be. that girl has the mark of merlin. I thought Granger was a mudblood, besides it doesn't even look like her." Lucius walked over to the end of her bed and read her info.
Hermione Granger
Gryffindor 7th year
Blood type- M+
That was indeed the blood type that all relatives of Merlin had. Lucius smiled easily.
"Son expect another visit from me very soon, I have a proposition for this girl, in the meanwhile work on getting her onto our side." with that Lucius walked away. Hermione had heard every word of that conversation, and cast Draco a worried glance. He walked over and grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay" He kissed her forhead, and then lost himself in his thoughts.
Okay how was it? I think that chap was really crappy! Ahhh but anyway review and tell me what you think! Bye bye
