I KNOW WHO BOTH UR KKs R!!!!(I THINK)

I Can't Be With You

I got out of the bath and grabbed my towel and reached for my robes, SHIT!! HOLY SHIT!!

I had forgotten my clothes- they were in my room. Oh no! I'd just have to run out the bathroom with my towel around me since I didn't have my wand! I just hoped Draco wasn't out there.

I made sure my towel was secure and opened the door, rushed out but found my bedroom door was locked. GREAT! Just what I need, to be locked out of my bedroom wrapped in a towel when Draco could walk in at any moment.

I heard the hallway door open behind me and footsteps. Someone came up behind me and put their arms around me, I felt my skin prickling at the touch- I felt electrified. A voice whispered in my ear.

"Need some help?" Draco asked.

I blushed; after all I was in a towel and nothing else.

He had gotten out his wand, "Alohomora," he whispered.

I had been leaning on the door slightly and we both fell forward when the door flew open, I bumped into the bookshelf and fell on my bed- dragging Draco with me because he had his arms around me still.

I moved so I was lying on my bed properly and Draco moved so he was next to me, he leaned over, his leg was next to mine and our skin touched. He kissed me softly on the lips and then leaning in and kissed me harder- properly. It was my first real kiss and it felt amazing. Draco put his hand on my cheek and kept kissing me harder and harder.

My hair was damp and it fell across my face, he brushed it away and started kissing me again.

He unbuttoned his shirt, oh HELP! Oh no, oh no! He can't, he doesn't! Does he?

He lay down next to me again and kissed me. Oh, help, this wasn't the Draco I had seen before, the one who said he'd always be there for me - he'd never be so forward.

I felt the old Draco would, even force someone to something against their will but he had changed- hadn't he?

He just lay there with me, breathing heavily.

What? What was happening? Why was Draco doing this? I looked at his chest and saw once again the dark purple and blue bruise.

But after he broke off he got up and left, closing the door.

I felt strange, what was that? I mean I liked it but what did he mean by it?

I got dressed and went into our common room- Draco was reading Hogwarts a History but I could see tears in his eyes.

I sat down next to him and put my arm around him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm sorry." He said. "I'm sorry I did that before."

"But-" I said but stopped; I didn't know what to say.

He just kept crying, I laid my head across his chest and sat there.

"Draco, what's wrong?" I asked.

"You can't call me that." He said.

"What?" I said, "Why?"

"You have to call me Malfoy."

I was taken aback. "But- I mean, why?"

"I think I love you Hermione."

I was stunned.

"I think I always loved you, when I used to call you a mudblood, when you hung around with Potter and Weasley- that was mostly why I hated them so much. Because you were so close to them. When you went out with Potter last year I hated him so much."

"But you were on our side last year." I said, "You weren't with You-Know- Who."

"It wasn't because of Voldemort that I hated him- it never was. It was because of you."

"I don't understand."

"I love you Hermione, I always have, but I can't be with you."

"Why can't you? Why can't I call you Draco?"

"You just can't."

He started to cry again.

"Draco,"

"Don't."

"Draco-"

"My father."

"What?"

He kissed me slowly and beautifully then broke away.

Tears were rolling down his cheeks, "That was last time I could ever kiss you."

"Why?"

"I have to get married."
