Chapter 4~A Change of Heart
It was around 11:45pm when Hermione decided to go meet Draco. She snuck into the Gryffindor boys rooms to get Harrys invisibility cloak. She looked at him and said to herself, 'I promise I'll bring it back later Harry.' She gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. It was just a little 'thank you for letting me borrow your invisibility cloak even though I didn't ask you while you were awake, but I knew you would get mad, I mean it is....' Well, I think you get the point. Hermione then left the room and went out of the common room and out to the Quidditch feild.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Draco was waiting at the Quidditch feild for Hermione. While he was waiting he was thinking about his plan. 'Hmmm, how am I going to do this. I should just be nice for a while and since she is a sensative little bitch I'll break our 'friendship' off and leave her to cry. HA! That would make her misrable. I mean she'll see me as the old bastard and things would go back to normal, but she will always have that memory of the time she was friends with the enemy and the enemy broke her poor little mudblood heart.'
Draco thought on and on about other things, but what Draco didn't know was, something's to happen this night and it would change his plan, his life, and most importantly, change him.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Hermione was nearing the Quidditch feild when she saw Draco there by himself. He looked so deep in thought. 'Wow, he looks pretty good from here. I mean the way the reflection of the moon hits his gorgeous silver hair, and even from here you could see his eyes blending in with the stars in the sky, and he jus-WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING ABOUT! This is MALFOY! UGH! Bad Hermione, very very bad! I guess it's just the setting, it looks so nice. It's so romantic. *inward sigh* I guess I better go talk to him now.'
Hermione removed her cloak, (more like Harrys cloak!), and showed herself to Draco. "Alright Malfoy, I'm here, what is it that was to important that you wanted to tell me that you would make me sneak out on school grounds at this hour?" She questioned him.
"Well, Gra-Hermione, I just wanted to make sure that you forgave me. Do you forgive me?"
"Ummm...So you made me come out here just to ask me if I was sure that I forgave you?"
"Yea, and something else, but I want you to answer that first."
"Ummm...yea I do...I guess."
"Good, now I want to do something for you just to show you how much I really am sorry. Accio broom."
"Ummm...Draco, what are you doing?"
"I just want you to trust me." He positioned himself on his broom and stuck out his hand to Hermione and asked, "Do you trust me Hermione?"
She looked at him and she saw something in him that said 'yes trust me.' Then she felt something inside her saying 'Don't do it Hermione! Don't do it!' So she did the only thing she could think of doing at the moment, Hermione took his hand. Draco helped Hermione on the broom and once she was on he kicked off the gound and they were off into the clouds. Hermione held on to Draco with all of her life. Once they were high above the castle he stopped his broom right above the lowest cloud. It seemed as if they were riding on the cloud. Hermione then spoke, "Wow, for a second, I thought you were gonna push me off and watch me die."
Draco turned around to face Hermione, still holding on to the broom. "Well, I told you that I really was sorry and I wanted to show you that I really meant it." He then added in a sarcastic voice, "Why? Would you really want me to push you off?"
"NO!" she felt her face burn, then it went back to normal, "Well, I guess now I know you wern't lying to me." She smiled. "So you wanted to show me that you were really sorry by taking me to a cloud?"
"Yea." He laughed, and so did she. 'He has a nice laugh.' They stayed on the cloud for a few minutes doing nothing but looking around. Draco looked at Hermione and thought to himself, 'She looks nice. Wow, she really looks nice. She has really pretty eyes. How come I have never noticed this? I think there's something in the air that's getting to me. ERR! Stupid cloud air!'
'Hmmm, he looks so hot. I wonder what it would be like to kiss him. NO! Don't think that, Hermione he's your enemy...or...well, he was my enemy.' She smiled and let out a big sigh.
They sat there for a few more minutes in complete silence, both lost in their own thoughts. Then Draco did the most unexpected thing. He put his hand on Hermione's face and looked deep into her eyes. 'She's so beautiful. How come I have never noticed this? Argh! Stupid Draco, you asked yourself that already! She looks so amazing in this light. Her eyes blend in well with the stars.' (A/N-Hmmm...that sounds familiar...???)
'Omigosh! omigosh! omigosh! What is he doing? His hand feels so soft. Awww, he's so sweet. NO! YES! Stop denying! Ok, I guess so.'
Draco thought to himself about the plan, 'Screw that stupid plan!' He then said the first thing that came out of his mouth, both were shocked as he asked the same question, "Do you trust me Hermione?" This time Draco meant something else.
"I said yes already." she blushed slightly and turned away, but Draco put his hands to her face again and made her face him.
"That's not what I meant, I mean would you trust me if I...if I..."
"If you what? Wha-" but she was cut off by Draco lips against hers.
At first Hermione was shocked, but she was to into the moment and allowed herself to kiss him back. The kiss was so passionate. From when he put his lips on hers, to now, she felt that it was sweet and emotional. The two of them finally pulled apart.
"Sorry, I'm sorry." He then turned around and began to fly them back down safely to the ground. Right when they got down Draco tried to walk away, but Hermione was quick and grabbed his hand. He turned to face her, but he realized that he couldn't look at her at all. 'What is this girl doing to me? Argh! She's supposed to be my enemy!' But he just pushed that thought aside and finally looked at her.
"What are you sorry for? I mean I did it too. It wasn't just you. I mean I kissed you too..."
He then realized what she was saying. "No, Hermione, no. It's not that. I'm not sorry for kissing you. I wanted to. I mean, I didn't want to then, but...I mean...I did, but I didn't." Draco was stuttering. He wanted to tell her, but would she be mad at him? He didn't know what to do, so he just said what came to his mind. (There he goes using that mind of his again.) "I'm sorry for being such a bother to you."
"Oh, you're not a bother. I'm glad that you did all this. Thank you. I really appreciate what you did."
"Well, yea." They stood there for a while waiting for one or the other to say something. They stayed silent just looking at eachother. Finally Draco spoke. "I think we should head back in. I don't want you to get in trouble." he smiled at her.
'Holy cow! What a cute smile! He never smiles, well not at me at least. Well, it makes him look even hotter.' she blushed at the thought. "Yea, I think we should head back in too." She started to walk when all of a sudden Draco stopped her this time.
"Hermione, ummm, would you like me to fly you back up to your room. I mean that is if you could see if your window open. It's faster and you won't get caught that way." he looked at her as if he was asking her to say yes.
"Draco," she whispered, then she looked at him with no emotion on her face. A small smile took over her lips, "I would love it if you would do that."
"Ummm, cool, ok...yea...uh...let's go?" Draco and Hermione got on the broom once again and began to fly up to Hermione's window. It was open. They were almost there, when Draco spoke. "Hermione, would you mind if we took one more stop before I take you back?" She smiled at him and nodded. Draco then turned the broom around and headed to the lake. He was flying towards the lake like he was about to crash it into the water. Hermione had a terrified look on her face when all of a sudden they came to a stop. She opened her eyes and saw the most amazing thing. Draco had taken her to the middle of the lake. She looked into the water and it showed her reflection, but before she could take another breath her reflection spoke. This startled Hermione. "Hello! Wanna know something? Anything, really, come on, ask me anything that you want to know."
"Ummm..."
"Go ahead, ask anything. It will show you or tell you." Draco said.
"Ok...uhhh...What are Harry and Ron doing at this very moment?" All of a sudden, Hermione's reflection disappeared and it showed Harry and Ron in their room sleeping. Harry was half on and half off the bed, and Ron was looked like he was drooling out a river. Hermione laughed at this. She asked a few more questions and then they left. "Wow, Draco, that was so awsome! Thank you for showing me that. How did you know about it being there?"
"I don't know I was just flying one day and I decided to go to the lake and I went to the center of it, because I wanted to see what it looked like from there, and so I heard someone talking and it was my reflection and I think you could figure it out from there."
"That's cool!"
"Yea." They had finally reached the window again and Draco helped Hermione off the broom and into the window.
"Thank you Draco. For all this, I mean. You didn't have to do it. The letter was enough..." she was cut off again by Draco's lips on top of hers. They kissed passionatly again and pulled apart. Both had wide grins on their faces. She watched as he flew away into the night sky and went to her bed.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"YES! YES! YES!" Draco was yelling as loud as he possibly could. "AH! She's so amazing! That's it! Evil plan is off! I can't believe that I fell for her. And HARD! Argh! Well, she knows now, and I feel GREAT! I've never felt like this before." Draco headed back to his room with a wide grin on his face and fell on his bed with thoughts of Hermione.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Both of them were in bed thinking of one another. Neither of them could sleep. They both didn't know it, but they were thinking the same thing...'Gosh, I don't know about this. All I know is that I all of a sudden have a quick change of heart and I like it!'
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
