YOUR TOUCH MAKES ME SHIVER

Chapter 6: Your touch makes me shiver*

"What did you say? You do trust me?" Draco looked directly to her eyes.

"Oh. I mean, yeah…I believe in your abilities." Hermione was so tense.

Draco smiled at her and changed his sight towards the fireplace again. Hermione didn't remember the exact words she had just said to him. She glanced again at him, she was furiously blushing because of embarrassment. She noticed that Draco was still wearing his smile on his face. But no words came out from her mouth when she wanted to ask why.

"Nobody in the Gryffindor house dared to call me Draco. You are a rare case." Draco looked again at her now with patience in his face.

"Why? Do some Slytherins have the chance? Umm…maybe it is better to call ourselves by our first name besides we are… partners right?" Hermione was running out for words.

"I prefer to call people by their last name but if you'll insist." Draco said.

"It's a deal then?" Hermione said and lend her hand to him for a handshake.

"Deal." Draco slowly squeezed her hand.

…Is this reality? I felt something warm touching me. It is caressing the deepest part of my soul. I never felt this way before. It is just like a running current flowing, engulfing my entire body. I feel secure by his touch…ah what? By his touch? Oh, my God!

"Hermione, are you alright?" Draco said while shaking her to reality.

"Oh, I'm sorry. What happened?" Hermione tapped her face a bit.

"You look like ah…dizzy?" Draco answered.

Hermione just agree with him. "Yes, you're right I feel dizzy."

"You alright?" Draco asked.

"I'm alright." Hermione answered back.

An owl was tapping their windowsill, Hermione was not familiar with that owl but Draco immediately stood up.

"Grin!" Draco said then grabbed the owl inside.

"What's his name again?" Hermione asked.

"Grin. He is always grinning at me the first time I had him." Draco pulled the parchment.

"That's a nice name." Hermione said and change her gaze toward the bookshelf nearby but before standing up…

"Mother!" Draco shouted. Hermione jumped a little in fear of sudden change of tone.

"What happened?" She went right away to Draco holding his shoulder.

Draco didn't answer. She felt Draco trembling. She grabbed the letter from his clenched fist and read the letter.

You are such a stupid person. Why did you tell Vincent Crabbe about the family's secret? You really don't use her head, aren't you? For that I will punish your mother for you are such a stupid boy. Don't bring her an owl or else the punishment will be worse.

Hermione can't say anything because as soon as she finished reading the letter. Draco collapsed at the floor clenching his fists very hard against it. He was furious but that didn't bother her, she is not afraid of him.

"I hate him!" Draco said punching the floor hard.

Hermione lost of thoughts at that time, hugged him so tight and rubbed his back lightly with her palm.

Draco hugged her back. He was calming a little because he stopped trembling, now trying to relax with Hermione's touch.

Draco slowly released his arms around her back. He looked at her for few seconds.

"Thank you." Draco said.

"It is ok." Hermione replied.

Suddenly, Draco lifted his arms a bit and rested it in Hermione's cheeks. By that moment, Hermione was stopping herself from blushing but she is shivering too badly.
