YOUR TOUCH MAKES ME SHIVER

Chapter 21: I don't want to see you cry.

Hermione cried all night. She couldn't believe everything she just heard. Draco hates her again or maybe he didn't like her at all. It was really confusing. She does have many questions, mainly how and why. She was expecting of something good but it wasn't. He was back to his usual self…of loneliness and darkness. The most important question was, why Mrs. Malfoy died? Why these time when Draco is happy and satisfied? Why now?

She waited for a week that seemed eternity and just now upon reviewing the words she heard…why did she wait for him? She was thinking of some excuse, something reasonable but upon leaving her alone in the dormitory she couldn't think straight. Her head was malfunctioning. She just didn't know.

She was inattentive that day. She lost her house 40 points for not listening well and turning a book into a slimy toad which was supposed to be a mug.

On the other hand, Draco couldn't believe what happened until now. His mother died because of him: FOR SAVING HIM or maybe SAVING THEM. She sacrificed her own life to save him. He felt guilty. He shouldn't disobey his father at all. What can he do? He's young and he can't live alone. He needed his family but now for him he is alone, very alone. Pansy told his father everything that led to the accident. Draco hates her, for everything especially when Pansy asked Lucius what she wanted and with the approval from his father to leave the Head's Dormitory so that she can be with him back at the Slytherin dormitory and the most painful one when his father told him to leave Hermione.

He couldn't breath at all. He wished he was dead as his mother. He can't live a single day seeing Pansy and his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle with him. He wanted to be with Hermione. He can't…. he will not…it can't be. She deserves to be happy and it will be safe to leave her alone so that his father will not hunt her or even kill her.

One night when they were patrolling the corridors, Hermione and Draco met. He stared at her from a distance and for a very long time so as she. He wanted to go to her, to say sorry. He can't. Only thing he can do was to stare at her. They wanted to speak but they can't reach each other. Draco couldn't take it anymore. He walked towards her and as he approached her, tears were flowing from her cheeks but when he was near her…she ran away crying.

Draco froze.

'I don't want to see you crying, Hermione. I hate it when I see you sad. I miss you so much. How I wish I could touch you and say I love you. But the only thing I could tell you was…goodbye.'

Draco's own tears were leaking from his eyes.
