CHAPTER 20-MAKE UP OR BREAK UP?

DRACO'S POV

After seeing Hermione yesterday I don't think I've ever felt so guilty in my life. It's all my fault that this happened to her, all my fault!! If I hadn't listened to music, if I hadn't agreed to talk to Crabbe earlier on in the day and tell him to come by. None of this would of happened. If I wern't listening to music, I would of heard her cries, I would of gotten there sooner. And Im just making things worse by ignoring her. I just can't help but think this is all my fault, and I can't help but think she would be happier without me in her life, I mean things were going great for her before we even became friends. I don't know what to do? I care about her so much. But what's the point, I hate hiding this relationship, and it just seems like it's going no where. Ya that's right, there is no point to this at all, is there?

As I thought this all on the sofa in the common room I heard the door opened. Suddenly all that thinking about our relationship ending came to and end as Hermione came in, looking slightly better then she did during the day.

I jumped to my feet and went to her, and I worringly put my hand on her cheek, she looked away from me.

"Are you alright? You wern't at lunch, you wern't are dinner, I didn't even find you in the library. Where were you?" I asked her since I never saw her the whole day and I was worried, and hurt that she didn't even tell me.

"I was busy." She said not looking at me and finally shrugging my hand off.

I looked at her with bewildered eyes, I couldn't understand why she seemed angry at me.

"Are you angry with me?" I asked her wanting to touch her but not doing so.

"Does it bother you?" she asked me looking at me with angered eyes.

"Ya, it does. You won't talk to me, and you shrug me off, what's the deal Hermione?" I asked back at her slightly shouting.

"Well it bothers me that you were with Crabbe were best buddies today even after what he did to me!!" she shouted at me looking more angered then hurt.

"Well you're the one who wants to keep this relationship a secret! So I made up with Crabbe and told him that I only helped you because I was head and that I had set a good example." I explained.

"You know fine, you just go on being friends with those jerks, and I'll just hang out with my friends." She yelled back at me.

"Yes of course, go back to Potter and Weasley the only friends that would actually tolerate you!" and yelled back, I don't even think I was thinking now. I think I saw one tear slide down her cheek.

I cupped her face in my hands. "Oh baby, Im so sorry I didn't mean any of it." I wiped her cheek with my thumb. She shivered at my touch again. She looked down and then into my eyes, her eyes were tearing but she helt them back.

"I don't think you have to worry about keeping this relationship a secret any longer." She responded, her voice icy cold.

"What?" I was bewildered. My one hand fell to her waist the other was still on her cheek.

HERMIONE'S POV

I don't know, I felt as I needed to end this relationship, after what happened last night. I needed to learn to stay up on my two feet, to be independant and strong, like Professor Evee. I realized how perfect of a role model she was for me, despite her past and her blood.

I couldn't bare to look at him in the eyes, but he kept his hand firm on my face so I would. I had to suck up all my feelings for him, pretend that they didn't exist.

"Hermione what are you saying. You need me, like I need you!" he yelled out the truth, which stinged in my ears.

"No." I whispered. "Your wrong. I don't need you. This relationship hasn't meant anything to me." I saw in his baby blues a light flash to his heart, breaking it in half, but I kept on. "This was only a silly little fling. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and I was lonely. Us two can never be anything more then friends, or even less." I gulped,

I couldn't believe what I was saying.

"You don't mean this." He said shaking his head.

"I do, just leave me alone, don't ever talk to me again!" I yelled at him, ripped his hand off my cheek and began to run up the stairs to my room and slammed the door and locked it.

I leaned agaisnt the door as I locked it and slid done where I sat to my knees one hand on the door while I heard Draco banging on it telling me to let him come in and that he was sorry. After a while, he had finally left.

I just sat there crying, tears stinging in my eyes, my face flushed red.

I had gotten rid of the one thing that felt so right in my life. But it needed to happen. It was for my only good.

What happened last night changed me. I was no longer an innocent girl. I was a women, who fell flat on her face realizing how cruel this world could be.
