Chapter 3: True Feelings

When breakfast was over Ron, Harry and Heromine had to go directly to potions, with the Slytherins.

          While Snape rambled on and on and on about Wolfsbane, Heromine couldn't help but think of Draco.  'Why did he comments so personally?  He has never really done that before.'  Heromine thought.  'I don't know, I just don't know.' It was simple to see that Draco was avoiding eye contact.  When Heromine caught him looking at her, he would look away, as if he were embarrassed.  She was dumbfounded.  What terrible thing has she done?  All she could do was replay the whole bathroom conversation over and over until she understood.  Easier said than done.

          At dinner, the ceiling looked as if it was raining, Harry and Ron had a long conversation about Pig and his new attraction to Neville's toad.  Heromine only heard the part about Trevor and Pig being friends.  Then she zoned out, back in the bathroom, with her monkey tank top and shorts on and Draco in his boxers, she just didn't get it. 

          "Hello?  Earth to Heromine!  Anyone home?" Harry and Ron said together.

          "Uhhh……what….ya" Said Heromine, coming out of her trance.

          "What's wrong?" Said Ron who was concerned.

          "Nothing, just thinking." Heromine stated truthfully.

          "So what are you doing tonight?  Wanna hang in the Gryffindor common room?" Ron asked hoping she would come along with them.

          "Sorry I can't I've gotta do my Charms homework. Sorry."

          "Oh" Ron spoke with sadness, almost as if he liked her, but that seemed impossible to everyone who thought of this possibility. Heromine looked around and saw Draco leave the Great Hall.  About ten minutes later she announced her departure.

                       In the common room, Draco was sitting on the floor. She couldn't tell if he was reading or sleeping.  When she walked by him, heading to her room, Draco startled her by saying something "Don't you have something to say to me?"

          "No, not really she paused "Oh, why did you get so mad at me?"

          "Why was the 'perfect' girl so rude?"

          "I was only defending myself." Heromine stated matter of factly.  Draco sat up, as if the floor pushed him up.

          "Are you saying I don't shower, Muddy?"

          "No, I think you shower, it's just, don't be a rude, obnoxious jerk and asshole about everything. Don't be like that!"  Draco looked hurt yet confused at this comment.

          "Heromine, you are so smart, but so naive.  You have no idea what a jerk, or for this matter, an asshole is," he paused, getting angry "My FATHER is the BIGGEST ASSHOLE EVER!!  It must be nice to be a mudblood, at least your parents aren't DEATHEATERS!!" he was yelling now, so loud that the people in the portraits were holding their ears.

          "Draco, I had no idea, sorry" said Heromine feeling small.

          "Ya, that's right, YOU HAVE NO IDEA!! You just don't."

          "Do you want me to leave you alone?" Heromine asked fast, so he wouldn't yell again.

          "You can stay if you want, I don't care." Draco sounded quiet compared to his yelling voice.

          "Well, I will stay if you don't yell at me again." She proposed as she sat in a chair that changed colors between Green and Yellow for Slytherins, and Maroon and Gold for Gryffindor.  For a while they sat there looking at each other. Heromine broke the silence "Well, I gotta go do my homework, see ya later!"

          "Wait, Heromine!" Draco said as Heromine walked toward the door leading to her room.

          "Wha......"  Heromine couldn't finish what she was saying before Draco kissed her.
