Chapter 7~A Hidden Feeling
"Hey Draco!" Hermione said as she walked into the bookstore.
Draco automatically shute the book he had in his hands and put it back . "Hey Hermione!"
"Well, you said you wanted to meet me, so here I am. Again with out meetings, ha!ha! So what is it that you couldn't say in the letter?" Hermione hoped and hoped that it would be what she was thinking.
"Well...umm...you see..." but Draco stoped as he saw something shiny on Hermiones wrist. "Oh, you wore the bracelet?"
*blushes*"...yea," Hermione said in a small tone.
"Oh, wow, well, it looks very nice on you."
"You're only saying that because you were the one that gave it to me."
"No, really, I think it looks really nice on you."
"Well, thank you Draco." they stood quiet for a moment. "Say, let's go sit down." she pointed to a small table near some tall book cases. They went and sat down, and Hermione began, "So, yea, where did you get the bracelet?"
Draco looked at her, "My mother had gave it to me and..."
"Oh my! Your mother? Draco I can't take this. I insist that you take it back..."
"No, no, Hermione, let me finish. This isn't really an important thing. Well, it is, but..." he thought for a moment on how he could explain to Hermione, "Let me finish talking, and if you think that what I have to say isn't good enough for you to keep the bracelet, then you could give it back and I would take it back, no arguments, ok?" she nodded. "Ok, my mother gave me this bracelet. She told me that my father had given it to her. There's this whole story on why and how she have it to him. She went to Hogwarts and so did my father, they were in the same year. My mother was in Gryffindor and my father was in Slytherin. Father fancied mother very much. So her told her, and she told him that she, too, liked him. The next day, he gave her a bracelet, the very same bracelet you are wearing." Hermione looked shocked and confused. She didn't know what to do, she would open and close her mouth, but nothing came out. Before she could speak Draco said, "My mother gave this to me the day before I left for Hogwarts, she told me that I should give it to a girl that I liked. I thought she was crazy, because I was only eleven years old. She said it brought her many years of love with my father, and she wants me to have the same thing." Hermione was now speachless, she didn't know what to say.
Hermione held a blank expression on her face. She thought to herslef, 'OMG! He likes me! He likes me! What do I do? What do I say? Do I like him too? What am I saying, yes I like him too!' Then she finally broke out a small smile that grew every second. "I like you too, Draco Malfoy! I like you alot!" She then reached out to hug him, and he took her into his arms.
"Hermione?"
"Hmm?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course Draco, I would love to be your girlfriend."
Hermione had told Ron and Harry that she wanted to spend the rest of her day at the book store, them, being the Quidditch lovers that they are, decided to walk around looking for more fun things to do. 'Fun things' meant that they went to go look for more Quidditch things at the Quidditch store. She told them that they would meet her at the train at 7:00pm.
Draco and Hermione spent the rest of the day at the bookstore talking about everything. They talked about thier lives, their dreams, and just everything.
"So, you're telling me that both your parents are dentists? They...put their hand in...peoples mouths?"
Hermione couldn't help but laugh at this, "They don't just 'stick their hands' into a persons mouth for nothing, they clean it and look to see if there are any problems with it."
"Ooooohhh. I see. Sounds weird. Cool, but weird." Draco and Hermione go to know eachother a little more and finally it was time to go.
"Omigosh! Draco it's 6:40! We have to get going."
"Don't worrie about it 'Mione," Hermione liked the way he said her name, "We'll get there. Do you want to sit with me on the way back to Hogwarts?"
"Ummm, I don't know. Harry and Ron would get mad, and they might kill you if they see you with me. I just don't want to you to get hurt." she told him. At first Hermione was afraid, because Draco held on expression on his face and stared right into Hermiones eyes.
"Well, we'll just have to explain to them about what's going on with us, won't we?" Draco said with a smile.
Hermione couldn't help but smile with Draco. She hugged him and they walked to the train, hand-in-hand. "I'm scared Draco, what if they don't approve? And OMG Draco! What about your father? What if he finds out? Draco, what if..." but she was cut off by Draco putting his lips against hers.
"Listen to me 'Mione, nothing will happen, ok? I will be here for you no matter what. Your friends will have to accept the fact that you and I are together, and they have to accept the fact that I will never leave you. My father won't care. As a matter of fact, I will owl him once we get back to Hogwarts, that you and I are seeing one another, ok?" he assured her. "I want you to feel as safe as possible Hermione Granger, I don't want you to have to worry about anything, ever. I don't want you to stress about Potter or Weasel, or my father, do I make myself clear?" he said in a commanding, yet sweet voice.
Hermione looked at Draco and then she closed her eyes, and one tear slid down her face. She opened them again, and said, "Thank you," then she opened her eyes agian and said, "And it's Harry and Ron!" They then kissed one more time and went inside the train in search for Harry and Ron.
