I change the plot a little bit and as you wish I will lengthen the story...I also like to inform you that I am not in the middle of the story yet so no conflicts and whatsoever is seen in the story but wait for future chapters!
Author's Note: Do you remember the portrait in the first chapter…you see that creepy piece of wood does have a part in my story! Hope you enjoy the flow of my story, it is like an old piece of junk but I hope you appreciate it a bit. Anyweiz…here it is! One of my favorites, *drum roll* Hahaha… ***And I also revise this chapter...change some things...sorry!
YOUR TOUCH MAKES ME SHIVER
Chapter 15: The Portrait
"Hermione, here we are. Open your eyes." Draco shook Hermione's shoulders.
"Where did you bring me?" Hermione said but she didn't want to open her eyes.
"Open your eyes. Don't be afraid. I'm here." Draco said and she slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised. It was their dormitory. She shook her head but she was not dreaming.
"I told you. This portrait must have been a portkey leading to the Capercaillie Garden. Amazing isn't it?" Draco asked and looked at her.
"Yes, this is wonderful. I can go to that garden anytime I want to." Hermione said and Draco nodded.
"Just stand here, wait for a few seconds, touch it and off you go." Draco said and looked at the portrait.
"Come on. We are out here for quite a long time. Let's go. Professor Dumbledore must be looking for us." Hermione said but Draco stopped her.
"Wait. I have something to tell you." Draco said.
"What is it? Let's talk about it later at the Ball." Hermione suggested.
"But I want to tell you here because it is somewhat important. I want you to tell that…" Draco said but before he could finish, Hermione dragged him into the portrait.
"…that I owe you everything!" Draco shouted but unfortunately they were on the grounds of the Capercaillie Garden and not too far away to the meddling Gryffindor students especially to Ron and Harry. Ron was shocked and he ran to them as fast as he could.
"What did you say, Malfoy? You are an imbecile skunk. Repeat what you said!" Ron shouted but before he withdrew his wand...
"Let's get out of here. Now!" Hermione said and they got back to their dormitory.
"I told you. I must have told you here. It is not safe out there, look at the Weasel. He nearly killed me by his filthy…" Draco protested.
"Quiet! I want you to tell it again." Hermione said and hold him by his shoulders.
"What? The Weasel?" Draco replied.
"No, you idiot! The words you told me after leaving this place." Hermione said and looked at his eyes but he didn't make any movement or sound.
"What? You can't tell it again to me, Draco?" Hermione asked.
"No. It's that…it's hard for me to tell it again because…" Draco couldn't speak.
"Because?" Hermione asked waiting for his answer.
"Because I am getting more nervous than I expect, what if I can't explain what that meant and I think just seconds I will collapse here because of nervous breakdown!" Draco said fast.
"Stop that! Please tell it again to me." Hermione said then after few moments...
"Hermione…I owe you everything.... even my life and I thank you for that." Draco said but Hermione didn't react or move a bit.
"Is there something wrong?" Draco asked.
"Nothing. I just want to repeat it all over and over again on my head so that I can know and believe what that meant." Hermione said and released her hands on his shoulders.
"You don't believe me?" Draco asked sadly.
"It's not that. I just can't…" Hermione said.
"We must better leave now. Let's go back maybe Ron's gangster were out of that area. The Headmaster will not be too kind to expel us one last time." Draco said but Hermione continued to speak.
"…understand it and hold myself back and it means a lot to me. I don't have the courage either to tell you because of my reputation, my pride and all that. I myself owe a lot from you too, Draco. You also gave me something I never felt before." Hermione said and hugged him tight.
Somewhat these feeling has happened before, the feeling of security and care: the ones they always share. He hugged her even tighter, securely and Hermione did the same thing. They were taken back to reality when the portrait started to bubble and made popping noise.
"Look at the portrait, Hermione." Draco said and pointed his finger towards the portrait. The image was now visible, they can see themselves holding each other's hands and looking at each other intently. They were in the Capercaillie Garden dressed in the same dress robes.
"That's us. I think that is purely fraud! But you look devastatingly…" Hermione said.
"Handsome! I know but I think you look just the same..." Draco joked her.
"What? I didn't tell you that you're handsome!" Hermione lifted her fist to his face.
"What I mean is you look just the same beautiful Hermione Granger I know. It's very nice." Draco said and smiled at her.
"Now that's a complete assertion of power due to lack of bad things to say." Hermione said and smiled back.
"We must better leave now before you can kill me by bare hands." Draco said.
"Wait 'till we see Ron and Harry. They might kill you by just one single blow." Hermione said.
"I am not afraid. Test me." Draco proudly said and held her hand to leave their dormitory.
AN: Sorry I don't have enough powers right now to lengthen their ....luvvie-dovvie scene but wait for future chapters! I told you before... the story will be a little bit of a rush but I will not hang you there.....but that is before I am planning to lengthen the story!
There will be sorrow...really!
