Chapter Thirteen
Hermione awoke to the sound of a tapping at her window. She groaned and tried to ignore it. 'NOT AGAIN!' she thought as she remembered being awoken like this once before. She yawned and walked over to the window to let the owl in. It soared into the room and perched on a chair by her desk. She recognized it as Hedwig, Harry's owl. She eyed it wearily, but untied the parchment from her outstretched leg. She hooted and flew off again through the window. Hermione sighed as she watched until the owl disappeared. She looked at the sealed letter on the desk and was debating whether or not to open it. Finally, she just decided to read it. She opened the letter to discover it was not from Harry but from someone else.
'Mione,
Hello. How are you this morning? I know you're angry with me, Hermione, and I also know you liked Harry. Things just went a little too far, I guess. I just don't know what came over me. I hope that we're still friends, because I'd be sad if we weren't. I'm really sorry. Cho had just dumped Harry and he was vulnerable. I suppose I just. I don't know. Please write back or talk to me later today.
Ginny
Hermione crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trashcan. She was very angry at Ginny right now, but she would get over it. She just couldn't face her- or Harry- yet. She was so frustrated. Nothing in her life ever went as planned. She didn't have classes that day, so she just decided to stay in the prefect's dorm. She took a quick shower and put on one of her comfortable robes. She went down to the common room with a book and sat by the fire, reading peaceful until she was interrupted by one of the last people she wanted to see at that moment.
Draco's POV
I woke up this morning to find a letter on my desk. I had left the window open, so I assumed that the owl had just flew in and left it there. I opened it up to discover it was from Cho.
Draco-
I have broken up with Harry because I realized that I loved you. I miss you sooo much and hope that we can get back together again! Meet me by the lake at 12:00 today. Hope to see you later.
Love ya, Cho
I looked at the letter with disgust. Sure, I had been trying to get back with her all along, but she just suddenly decided to drop everything and come running back to me? I had my suspicions. I decided to meet her just to make things clear. I walked out of my room and down the stairs. Sitting on the couch in the common room was Hermione. ~*End POV*~
Hermione looked up from her book when she heard someone walking down the stairs. She saw Draco pause as he reached a landing in the stairway.
"Morning." She said casually, trying not to let her voice waver.
"Morning he replied shortly." He replied just as casually, looking over at her. They stared at each other for a few minutes before Hermione broke the silence.
"We need to talk." She said softly. Draco nodded and sat on the chair across from hers.
"About last night. I think that." she started and then stopped at a loss for words.
"Let's face it, Hermione, everything has just been one huge mistake. Now that our deal is off, I don't see any reason to be seeing each other." Draco said, interrupting her. He saw the pain in her eyes and it almost caused his heart to break.
"Yes. I understand. You wouldn't want to be seen with a mudblood anymore anyway." Hermione said softly, forcing the tears not to fall. He looked at her one last time before exiting the portrait. Hermione sat there, feeling like an idiot.
"I have been so stupid. Guys just aren't worth it I guess. First Harry, then Draco. What have I done?" she voiced aloud softly. What she didn't know was that Ron was standing on the stairway, watching her curiously.
