~*~*~*~ Chapter 12: We Need To Talk ~*~*~*~
HERMIONE'S POV
"Um. Hi."
"Hi."
We were both looking at each other. I was clutching the dress robes. His eyes were darting from me to the robes. They were his.
"We need to talk," I said calmly to him.
"Yeah whatever." He slumped in a couch.
"Well. I found your dress robes under the couch when I was searching for my wand."
"You told me your wand was lost outside" he snarled at me. I sighed.
"I thought it was, but it turns out it was in my pocket the whole time. Now don't change the topic. Why did you run on that night?"
"Why do you think Granger? I thought you were someone else, someone who wasn't a mudblood" he spat. I felt anger and hurt run through me.
"You didn't know it was me. I only started off the night talking to you. I was having a nice conversation and it was going well. YOU were the one who asked me to dance. YOU were the one who insisted we stayed for the slow songs. YOU were the one that kissed ME!" I was shouting at him by now. I could feel myself shaking with anger.
He looked at me in surprise, and I thought I could see hurt in his eyes, but I must have imagined it. He flounced off the chair and grabbed my shoulders.
"If I had known I was kissing a mudblood, I would have spat it out, and washed my mouth with soap. I did this anyways when I came up to the common room afterwards." He pushed me back and stormed off to his room.
I sat there crying for what seemed like ages, until I woke up in the morning. Malfoy was nowhere to be found. I was glad. I didn't want to see that slimy excuse for a shit ever again. I went to my room, performed a charm to hide my blotchy eyes and got changed into a pink fuzzy jumper and my track pants. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and walked out of the room with my fluffy slippers on. I went through the door leading to the Gryffindor common room. Hilary and Ron were sitting in front of the fire playing chess as usual. I smiled and sat in front of them.
"Hey Mione. How are you? We couldn't find you after the snowball fight yesterday," Ron explained.
"Not to worry guys. I made my way back, and looked for you guys, but I couldn't find you" I lied.
"Well Mione. I told Ron everything and Harry. They don't care" Hilary said with a weary smile.
"That's great Hilary! Are you guys going somewhere?" I had just noticed their trunks beside their chairs.
"Um yeah. We're going to HQ. Do you want to come? We would have given you further notice if we could find you" Ron said to me.
"No thanks guys. I would rather relax here. I want to try and get some extra lesson with professor McGonagall anyway for better preparation for the NEWTS. You guys will have fun though. What time are you leaving anyway?"
"After lunch."
"Great. I can have lunch with you then. We'd better leave now you know. The dishes vanish at 2.00pm"
We made our way to the Great Hall. We ate and talked for about two hours. I noticed Malfoy come in but ignored him completely. Finally it was 2.00pm.
"Ok guys. I'll walk you to the doors." We walked in silence.
"I'm going to miss you heaps. If you ever change your mind, owl us ok?"
"Yeah of course Ron. I'll see you later then."
I gave them each a long hug and then they got into their carriage and went off.
DRACO'S POV
I haven't thought straight since I yelled at Granger last night. I saw the hurt in her eyes. Was I going soft? I think I was. I decided to apologise to Granger. I had been pretty horrible. I wasn't like my father. If I wanted to kiss a mud.muggleborn, then I shouldn't feel bad about it. I smiled at this thought. Was I becoming a nicer Malfoy? I knew my reputation was going to go down the drain for this, but I didn't really care. I was getting really tired of thinking up of new comebacks to everything everyone said, and I was tired of being labelled a stuck up prat. I decided to apologise to Granger when she got to the common room.
I got out of my seat and went up the stairs to the common room. I stepped inside and sat on the couch waiting for her. I knew she might not come back for hours, so I picked up a book lying on the table. It was her Hogwarts: A History. I snorted. She really was a loser. 'Don't think bad thoughts Draco.' I opened the book and began reading. It was a pretty good book. I was really engrossed in it, so I didn't hear the door open nor see Granger step through it.
"I would mind if you took your slimy hands off my book," she snarled and snatched the book out of my grasp. She stormed up the stairs. I knew how to stop her.
"Hang on, Hermione." It worked. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned around.
"Only my friends can associate with me by that name. People who call me mudblood aren't worthy of using it ferret."
This got me really angry. "Look Granger. The only reason I sat here waiting for you was to apologize for the ball and snapping at you yesterday. Obviously Saint Granger is too perfect to accept that someone can change." I stormed up the stairs heading for my room. She looked shocked. I went past her and felt her hand on my shoulder. I shuddered. I could feel the coldness of it run through my jumper.
"Kindly take your hand off me Granger."
"Do you really mean it? Are you really sorry?" I turned around. She looked surprised.
"Yes Granger I did." She looked at me and gave me a sincere smile.
"Apology accepted. Now can you change and learn to be nice to me?"
She was so kind. I didn't feel it was right for me to do what I did next. I felt she didn't deserve it. I bent down and kissed her again. She pushed me away. She looked half annoyed half pleased.
"I didn't say we had to be going out or anything to be nice to each other. It is a bit of a leap from the way we used to treat each other. So why don't we begin with friendship first?" she extended her hand. I took it and shook it. Then I went to my dorm to get a book.
HERMIONE'S POV
I couldn't believe he had said sorry. Well actually he hadn't, but the same message had gotten across. He had also kissed me. I really wanted to kiss him back, but it was all too weird for me. I had to take it slow. I walked back down to the common room and sat on the couch with my book. I opened it and was about to start reading when Mal.Draco, gees that sounded strange, came in and told me to budge up. He sat next to me, yet not close enough so we were touching.
"Hey Draco. That sounds so weird. Anyway, why did you run away at the ball?"
"Well Hermione, it does sound strange, I went because I really liked the person at the ball, and I thought it would be anyone except you. I was so shocked that I couldn't bear to take off my mask, in case I made a complete fool of myself."
"Ok. Well. I guess we've already had a conversation at the ball, but there is one more thing I want to ask you. Are you becoming or are a death eater?"
"No, I'm not and I'm not going to become one. I hate Voldemort and the whole idea about him. He was the one responsible for my father's death because my father was an uneducated sheep in his schemes. His life was wasted by Voldemort."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was sure he was into that whole thing. We talked a bit more on his relationships with Voldemort and other things. It was dinner at last.
"I don't really feel like going to dinner in the Great Hall, do you?" he asked me.
"No. I'll go to the kitchens and get the house elf's to get us something."
"Make sure there's a lot of sweet stuff included."
I grinned. He wasn't really that bad. I was beginning to see how he could become my friend. I made my way to the kitchens.
"Hey Dobby. Can you send mine and Draco's dinner to our common room, with lots of desserts."
"Can I bring it to Miss?"
"Of course Dobby. Thank you so much." I was going to leave a sickle on the food platter after we had finished for Dobby to find. I went back up the room and sat on the couch.
"Here is your food Miss, and Sir." Dobby looked terrified when he referred to Draco.
"Thank you Dobby. I'm sorry for shouting at you the other day," Draco said. I was amazed. He was being so nice all of a sudden. Dobby put our food down, bowed and exited. We began eating. After an hour of eating, talking and laughing, we sat in front of the fire. I was so bored.
"Hey Draco. You know, I can magic a movie to play." I winked at him. He looked back at me questioningly.
"A movie? What the hell?"
"Oh don't worry." He was so ignorant sometimes. I magicked an opaque screen to appear in front of the fire, and put in a movie called "Quidditch Love". It was a romantic movie revolving around quidditch. I knew Draco would like it because it was quidditch, and I would like it because it was a romantic movie. There was a bowl of popcorn on the table. I picked it up and put it in between us.
The end of the movie came. I was crying. The main character had just died because of a bludger to the head, and he had never got to tell the girl that he loved her. Draco looked at me funnily. I laughed.
"It was sad ok? Some people have emotions."
"Yeah whatever. I'm still bored."
"Ok then. I'll play you at chess." I got out an old set Ron had given me for my birthday a little while ago. We played games for hours. I was so tired. My mind was barely functioning. I had put another movie on. It was 4.00 in the morning. I was sitting with me head on Draco's shoulder. He was sitting rapt in the movie. It was another one about quidditch, but not about romance. I yawned and fell asleep.
DRACO'S POV
I had the best night of my life that night. The movies we watched were great. I always beat Hermione at chess. It was as if we had been friends forever. It came naturally. The last movie was fantastic. I had my arm around Hermione, but it was in a friendly way. I didn't even realise she was asleep. When it finished I moved to get up, when I noticed she was asleep. She looked so cute when she was asleep. I muttered "Accio blanket!" and covered her and myself in it. Then I too fell asleep, with my head on hers.
When I woke up the next morning, Hermione was still asleep. I looked at her. She stirred then woke up. she looked at me and smiled. She got off my arm and stretched. My arm was numb. I shook it out for a few minutes. We got up and I went to order breakfast. On my way down, I realised it was the afternoon, so I would get lunch instead. I came back in with two trays. We ate in silence, then we went to our respective rooms and got showered and changed. Because we were the heads, we were allowed to go to Hogsmede whenever we felt like it during the holidays. Hermione and I were planning to go there now. I changed into a grey shirt and black pants with my white sneakers. I went into the common room and waited for Hermione. She came out. She was wearing a pair of white pants, a lime green shirt, camel coloured jacket and camel coloured boots. Her hair was down with a small silver headband. She looked stunning. I had never taken the time before to see her out of her baggy uniform. I grinned at her. She grinned back.
"Where are we going?" she asked me.
"Um, anywhere you want to. I was thinking of going to Honeydukes first, we need to get heaps of lollies for tonight during the other movies. And then we can go to the Three Broomsticks. Oh and I thought we could go to The Shining Wand for dinner tonight."
"Yeah. Sounds good. Lets go." She grabbed my hand and practically dragged me down to the horseless carriage.
We went to Honeydukes. Hermione bought a ton of fat free sweets and another ton of other things that weren't fat free. She magiked them all to be extra small so that they fitted in her pocket. I also bought a lot of sweets and charmed them to be smaller. We were walking out of the shop, when Hermione, who hadn't seen me buy my sweets, asked what I was doing with them, and that she had already bought enough for the both of us. I didn't care. I had over 100,000 galleons in the bank from my father's will. He left half of his earnings to me, and half to my mother. We made our way to the Three Broomsticks.
I pulled out a mini chocolate frog and reversed the charm on it. Hermione did the same. I had already ordered drinks. We talked there for about an hour, and then made our way to the Shining Wand. The food was fantastic. It was about 10.00pm when we left. We made our way to the castle and back to our common room. Hermione went to her room and I went to mine.
HERMIONE'S POV
I had had a great time today in Hogsmede. Draco could be so nice if he wanted to be. I got changed into my Ariel Pyjama's and put my matching dressing gown on top. I had little fluffy slippers. When I got there, I saw Draco in baggy pants with little snitches on them, and a skin-tight black tank. He was hot I admitted to myself. He was muscly, but not wrestling type muscly. It was just right. I saw him sitting with a HUGE pile of sweets next to him. I forgot! I turned around quickly and brought my small pile down. Once I was sitting next to Draco, I unmagiked the sweets and they resumed to their normal size. Draco's pile was twice the size of mine. My face fell, but I quickly out on a smile before he saw me.
"Hey Mione. Can I call you that?"
"Yeah sure whatever."
"Accio lollies!" my lollies zoomed over to Draco's pile. I looked at him in surprise. He levitated the lollies to lie in front of us in one big pile. "Frecziu!" he had made the lollies unmeltable, as we were in front of the fire. I magiked a screen and put on a movie. We ate through the chocolate all night. I was watching a muggle movie at about 5 in the morning. I turned to Draco. He was fast asleep with his head on my shoulder. I smiled at him and kissed his head. It was friendly, but I knew if he were awake, he'd probably take it seriously. I sighed and turned back to the movie. After it finished, I fell asleep as well.
Our holidays pretty much went like that. I had no intention of going to Grimauld Place, because I wanted to stay with Draco, and I felt in a way that I would be intruding on Ron and Hilary if I did. Draco and I became closer and closer over the month. We were pretty close, and I had to admit that he was one of my closest friends. I thought I'd never see the day it happened. Draco was so sincere and nice to me, but I noted that he acted like his usual self around everyone else. I wasn't going to try and change anything about him yet, but I was going to work on it.
Soon enough the holidays were over. Harry, Hilary, Ron and Ginny were all due back at 5.00pm today. I was excited to see them so soon. Of course I had owled them, but I hadn't said anything about Draco and I. I wanted to explain it to them face to face.
5.00 rolled around and I was sitting in the Gryffindor common room waiting for them to arrive. The portrait door opened.
"Harry! Ginny! Ron! Hilary! I missed you all so much" I squealed and ran over to them. I stopped half way across the room. There was something wrong.
"Um, what's the matter guys? Aren't you happy to see me at last?" I pouted at them in a joking way.
"Um Hermione. There were a few things that happened just before we came back. I had one of my dream/premonition things again. Voldemort as you know has produced an heir, and we are trying to find her" Harry started to explain to me.
"Oh. So you found out that it was a her. Do you know who it is?"
"Um, yes we do. Dumbledore cleared some things up for us. Ginny and me went to Grimauld place, and we were told the rest of the story. Dumbledore was once married, and had children. Unfortunately, Voldemort murdered all his children. All of them except for one of his daughters. His daughter was spared and Voldemort kidnapped her because of her beauty. She was brought up to believe that Dumbledore hated her, and so she married Voldemort, and produced his heir. Now recently the order managed to bring Dumbledore's daughter back, but when one of the members tried to bring her small child back, he was killed instantly when he touched her. Dumbledore's daughter finally believed us that he always loved her, and she was kidnapped. Voldemort had put a special bond on the child. She could only be touched by her own blood, and whomever she loved."
My mouth was hanging open at the end of this. I couldn't believe it. Firstly that Dumbledore had a child, and next that the threat of Voldemort was finally back.
"So what happened to Dumbledore's daughter?" I asked Harry. He hung his head.
"She went out to retrieve her child, as she could touch her, but Voldemort caught her and killed her." I gasped. "Voldemort was killed just as he killed Dumbledore's daughter. Two people can only hold his heir now. Dumbledore and Voldemort's most loyal deatheater, Lestrange. She managed to escape with the baby."
"That's amazing. Does anyone know where she could be?" I asked Harry.
"No. We have no idea. But since the baby has been born from the two most powerful wizards, it is highly likely that she will be ten times more powerful that Voldemort, yet maybe not as strong as Dumbledore. The Order is trying to find the baby. If we can get her to Dumbledore before she is five years of age, she will turn good, and will lose her power as the heir of Voldemort."
"Well that's good. The Order has about four years to find her." I smiled at them.
"Actually, Voldemort took more precautions and her year will pass by in stages of three months. We have to find her in a year."
"Whoa. Well, my holiday wasn't nearly as eventful as yours! Um, I'm sure they'll find her! They are some of the best wizards in the world. Now tell me what else is happened in your holidays?"
I just wanted to get the mood back to its cheery self. They all looked at me and then grinned weakly.
"Look you guys. Go and have a shower and get changed. You're coming to my common room tonight. I bought so many lollies and chocolates the other day and I have a huge pile reaching half way up me to go. I'll see you down here in half an hour." They all smiled gratefully at me. I knew that chocolates, and a shower would get them in better spirits.
I ran to my common room and took a quick shower. Then I changed into white track pants and a peachy coloured jumper. I stuck on my slippers and pulled my hair into two small pigtails. Good. I still had 15 minutes to go. I had told Draco what I was doing tonight, and told him to join us and make friends with the others. He agreed, but half-heartedly. The huge pile of lollies was sitting on the floor just in front of the couch. I put six huge beanbag pillow things around the sweets in front of the fire. I raced down to the kitchen and ordered six large hot chocolates. I also ordered the elves to bring up enough food for a party of six. I came back into the common room followed by about ten-house elves. They put the food and hot chocolates on the humongous coffee table that I had levitated to one side. I went back to the Gryffindor. They were all standing there, dressed in trackies like me. I led them through the portrait to my common room. I opened the door and led them in. they looked around in wonder, oohed and aahed, and then froze at once.
Draco was sitting on one of the beanbag things. They were all looking daggers at each other. This was going to be a long night.

A/N: OMG! I know! That was the fluffiest thing I've ever written! But I had to get them together some time! I hope you like my little twist in there about Voldemorts heir!

~*~*~*~ Chapter 12: We Need To Talk ~*~*~*~

"Um. Hi."
"Hi."
We were both looking at each other. I was clutching the dress robes. His eyes were darting from me to the robes. They were his.

"Well Mione. I told Ron everything and Harry. They don't care" Hilary said with a weary smile.
"That's great Hilary! Are you guys going somewhere?" I had just noticed their trunks beside their chairs.
"Um yeah. We're going to HQ. Do you want to come? We would have given you further notice if we could find you" Ron said to me.

"Great. I can have lunch with you then. We'd better leave now you know. The dishes vanish at 2.00pm"
We made our way to the Great Hall. We ate and talked for about two hours. I noticed Malfoy come in but ignored him completely. Finally it was 2.00pm.

"Um, anywhere you want to. I was thinking of going to Honeydukes first, we need to get heaps of lollies for tonight during the other movies. And then we can go to the Three Broomsticks. Oh and I thought we could go to The Shining Wand for dinner tonight."
"Yeah. Sounds good. Lets go." She grabbed my hand and practically dragged me down to the horseless carriage.
We went to Honeydukes. Hermione bought a ton of fat free sweets and another ton of other things that weren't fat free. She magiked them all to be extra small so that they fitted in her pocket. I also bought a lot of sweets and charmed them to be smaller. We were walking out of the shop, when Hermione, who hadn't seen me buy my sweets, asked what I was doing with them, and that she had already bought enough for the both of us. I didn't care. I had over 100,000 galleons in the bank from my father's will. He left half of his earnings to me, and half to my mother. We made our way to the Three Broomsticks.
I pulled out a mini chocolate frog and reversed the charm on it. Hermione did the same. I had already ordered drinks. We talked there for about an hour, and then made our way to the Shining Wand. The food was fantastic. It was about 10.00pm when we left. We made our way to the castle and back to our common room. Hermione went to her room and I went to mine.
HERMIONE'S POV
I had had a great time today in Hogsmede. Draco could be so nice if he wanted to be. I got changed into my Ariel Pyjama's and put my matching dressing gown on top. I had little fluffy slippers. When I got there, I saw Draco in baggy pants with little snitches on them, and a skin-tight black tank. He was hot I admitted to myself. He was muscly, but not wrestling type muscly. It was just right. I saw him sitting with a HUGE pile of sweets next to him. I forgot! I turned around quickly and brought my small pile down. Once I was sitting next to Draco, I unmagiked the sweets and they resumed to their normal size. Draco's pile was twice the size of mine. My face fell, but I quickly out on a smile before he saw me.
"Hey Mione. Can I call you that?"
"Yeah sure whatever."
"Accio lollies!" my lollies zoomed over to Draco's pile. I looked at him in surprise. He levitated the lollies to lie in front of us in one big pile. "Frecziu!" he had made the lollies unmeltable, as we were in front of the fire. I magiked a screen and put on a movie. We ate through the chocolate all night. I was watching a muggle movie at about 5 in the morning. I turned to Draco. He was fast asleep with his head on my shoulder. I smiled at him and kissed his head. It was friendly, but I knew if he were awake, he'd probably take it seriously. I sighed and turned back to the movie. After it finished, I fell asleep as well.
Our holidays pretty much went like that. I had no intention of going to Grimauld Place, because I wanted to stay with Draco, and I felt in a way that I would be intruding on Ron and Hilary if I did. Draco and I became closer and closer over the month. We were pretty close, and I had to admit that he was one of my closest friends. I thought I'd never see the day it happened. Draco was so sincere and nice to me, but I noted that he acted like his usual self around everyone else. I wasn't going to try and change anything about him yet, but I was going to work on it.
Soon enough the holidays were over. Harry, Hilary, Ron and Ginny were all due back at 5.00pm today. I was excited to see them so soon. Of course I had owled them, but I hadn't said anything about Draco and I. I wanted to explain it to them face to face.
5.00 rolled around and I was sitting in the Gryffindor common room waiting for them to arrive. The portrait door opened.
"Harry! Ginny! Ron! Hilary! I missed you all so much" I squealed and ran over to them. I stopped half way across the room. There was something wrong.
"Um, what's the matter guys? Aren't you happy to see me at last?" I pouted at them in a joking way.
"Um Hermione. There were a few things that happened just before we came back. I had one of my dream/premonition things again. Voldemort as you know has produced an heir, and we are trying to find her" Harry started to explain to me.
"Oh. So you found out that it was a her. Do you know who it is?"
"Um, yes we do. Dumbledore cleared some things up for us. Ginny and me went to Grimauld place, and we were told the rest of the story. Dumbledore was once married, and had children. Unfortunately, Voldemort murdered all his children. All of them except for one of his daughters. His daughter was spared and Voldemort kidnapped her because of her beauty. She was brought up to believe that Dumbledore hated her, and so she married Voldemort, and produced his heir. Now recently the order managed to bring Dumbledore's daughter back, but when one of the members tried to bring her small child back, he was killed instantly when he touched her. Dumbledore's daughter finally believed us that he always loved her, and she was kidnapped. Voldemort had put a special bond on the child. She could only be touched by her own blood, and whomever she loved."
My mouth was hanging open at the end of this. I couldn't believe it. Firstly that Dumbledore had a child, and next that the threat of Voldemort was finally back.
"So what happened to Dumbledore's daughter?" I asked Harry. He hung his head.
"She went out to retrieve her child, as she could touch her, but Voldemort caught her and killed her." I gasped. "Voldemort was killed just as he killed Dumbledore's daughter. Two people can only hold his heir now. Dumbledore and Voldemort's most loyal deatheater, Lestrange. She managed to escape with the baby."
"That's amazing. Does anyone know where she could be?" I asked Harry.
"No. We have no idea. But since the baby has been born from the two most powerful wizards, it is highly likely that she will be ten times more powerful that Voldemort, yet maybe not as strong as Dumbledore. The Order is trying to find the baby. If we can get her to Dumbledore before she is five years of age, she will turn good, and will lose her power as the heir of Voldemort."
"Well that's good. The Order has about four years to find her." I smiled at them.
"Actually, Voldemort took more precautions and her year will pass by in stages of three months. We have to find her in a year."
"Whoa. Well, my holiday wasn't nearly as eventful as yours! Um, I'm sure they'll find her! They are some of the best wizards in the world. Now tell me what else is happened in your holidays?"
I just wanted to get the mood back to its cheery self. They all looked at me and then grinned weakly.
"Look you guys. Go and have a shower and get changed. You're coming to my common room tonight. I bought so many lollies and chocolates the other day and I have a huge pile reaching half way up me to go. I'll see you down here in half an hour." They all smiled gratefully at me. I knew that chocolates, and a shower would get them in better spirits.
I ran to my common room and took a quick shower. Then I changed into white track pants and a peachy coloured jumper. I stuck on my slippers and pulled my hair into two small pigtails. Good. I still had 15 minutes to go. I had told Draco what I was doing tonight, and told him to join us and make friends with the others. He agreed, but half-heartedly. The huge pile of lollies was sitting on the floor just in front of the couch. I put six huge beanbag pillow things around the sweets in front of the fire. I raced down to the kitchen and ordered six large hot chocolates. I also ordered the elves to bring up enough food for a party of six. I came back into the common room followed by about ten-house elves. They put the food and hot chocolates on the humongous coffee table that I had levitated to one side. I went back to the Gryffindor. They were all standing there, dressed in trackies like me. I led them through the portrait to my common room. I opened the door and led them in. they looked around in wonder, oohed and aahed, and then froze at once.
Draco was sitting on one of the beanbag things. They were all looking daggers at each other. This was going to be a long night.
