Chapter 10: The Picnic
Draco kissed Hermione one more time and then they got out of the bathroom. When they got in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady they said their bye's to each other and Hermione went through the portrait, Draco went toward the stairs.
There was only Ron in the common room and he was working on something in front of the fire. Hermione went over to him.
"What's up?" asked Hermione as she sat down next to Ron.
"Oh nothing. I'm working my brain off on this potion's essay. Where were you anyway?" Ron asked.
"Oh. Um. I was at detention." Hermione informed Ron.
"Hermione does Malfoy harm you?" Ron exclaimed.
"Oh, no Ron. It's fine." Hermione said fast.
"Um. Hermione, I know that things didn't work out between us. But I don't want that to have effect on our friendship." Ron said in a worried tone.
"Yes, I understand. I don't want it to either." Hermione replied. "Ok. I'm going up to bed. Bye" said Hermione as she got up.
"Bye." Ron said back.
Hermione lay there in bed thinking about how great the picnic was going to be tomorrow. She couldn't wait to be with him again, in his arms. Hermione thought about what happened when Draco had kissed him in detention. Even though she didn't expect it, she really liked it. And as Hermione thought this, she fell asleep.
When Draco entered his common room, Pansy Parkinson was sitting on the couch, reading a book. She was probably waiting for him, because these couple of day Draco had been trying to avoid Parkinson. Draco tried to pass without her noticing, but just as he was about to put his foot on the first step. Pansy said, "I missed you Draco." in a sexy tone. She got up, went over to Draco, and tried to kiss him but Draco turned his head. "What's wrong Draco? You used to want me."
"You know what Pansy, why don't you get lost! I never wanted you. Don't ever come near me again." and with that he went.
Draco lay in bed and he too, thought about how wonderful the picnic would be. He couldn't wait to spend these days with Hermione. Draco knew that Hermione was pleased when he had kissed her in detention. He couldn't wait to be with her again.
The following morning Hermione got up soon and went down to the common room. Harry, Ginny, and Ron had all gone to the burrow. So she went to the Great Hall alone. She went and sat next to Lavender Brown, and they started to talk. A little while later Hermione said bye to Lavender and went towards the Great Hall doors. When she got out of the Great Hall, she saw Draco standing there by the door. She went over to him and hugged him.
"Ok. Let's go." said Draco.
"Ok." said Hermione.
They got out of the castle and headed towards the lake. When they got there, they put the blanket and sat down. Hermione leaned against Draco and put her head on him.
Draco looked at her and said, "Hermione, you're so beautiful!"
Hermione looked at him with a smile and they started to kiss again. Hermione put her hand in Draco's shirt. They kissed for a while like this and when Hermione broke the kiss, both of them were panting like they had just run a mile.
"Draco. Do you want to have a walk?" asked Hermione.
"Sure." said Draco. "Anything you want."
And so they started to walk. They talked about their families, Hogsmeade, and a lot of other stuff. After a while they sat back down and Draco said, "Hermione, you're such a wonderful person, and I'm really glad that now you know what my feelings are for you."
"I love you." said Hermione with a smile. And their lips met again.
As they began to kiss again, Hermione's heart pounded. Would Draco do that thing that he did yesterday at detention? She wouldn't mind if he did. And yes, Draco did indeed do it again. He slipped his tongue into Hermione's mouth. Hermione gave a little hum of satisfaction.
Two minutes later, Draco said, "The trees on this spot are blocking the sunrise. We should go near the castle for a better view."
Hermione and Draco were holding hands as they walked towards the lakeside near the castle when all of a sudden Pansy and Lavendar rush towards them and yelled at the same time, "DO YOU GUYS KNOW YOU"RE HOLDING HANDS?!" and Lavendar grabbed Hermione away from Draco and dragged her towards the castle. Hermione looked back at Draco and blew him a kiss. Unfortunately, Pansy saw this and was horrorstruck!
She said with a horrified look, "Is this the reason you've been avoiding me? For. for. THAT MUDBLOOD?!"
Draco yelled in a fierce voice, "DON'T YOU EVER DARE CALL HER A MUDBLOOD, YOU BITCH!!!" and walked away.
Pansy thought this was the perfect opportunity to get Draco back. She said in a loud sarcastic voice, "I wonder what Lucius would think about his own son dating a mudblood."
Draco turned around slowly, "I warned you about called Hermione a mudblood! I do not care about father! He is a evil man who deserves to stay at Azkaban!" and with that, he simply turned around and ran towards the castle.
When Draco got to the castle, Hermione was no where to be seen. However he was not worried. He figured she'd be in the Gryffindor common room. It must've been around dinnertime but Draco was not in the mood to eat. So he set off to the library to check out some books for potions class. Lately he had been so into Hermione that he was falling way behind.
He was disappointed that he did not see Hermione there. He went to the Potions aisle and took out a few books. It must've been five minutes that Draco had been reading. He suddenly didn't feel like reading anymore. All he could think about was when he would see Hermione again. So he headed out to find a secret place where he could meet Hermione tomorrow. Then, he remembered that in their fifth year he heard about something called the Room of Requirement. He also heard that Dobby (his previous house elf) was the one who had tipped off Harry about that room for the D.A. secret meetings. So Draco headed off to the kitchens. He scratched the pear on the portrait and went into the kitchen.
Dozens and dozens of house elves were in the huge kitchen. He spotted Dobby quite quickly since he was the only elf with clothes on. When Dobby saw Draco he went into something that looked like a seizure. Dobby then said, " Thou shalt not come near Dobby. You are no longer my master."
Draco rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, shut up, Dobby! I am not here to take you back to the manor, I am here to ask you where the Room of Requirement is!"
Dobby eyed him suspiciously, "What requirement is Mr. Malfoy seeking?"
Draco turned red, "I need somewhere to meet Potter's friend, Hermione Granger."
Dobby's eyes were now as big as watermelons. "You may not harm Harry Potter or any of his friends!" Dobby said in a high squeaky voice.
"Calm down, Dobby! I like Hermione. In fact, I like her a lot!" Draco's voice was very soft now.
Dobby calmed down a bit and said, "Very well, Dobby will show Draco Malfoy where the Room of Requirement is."
When Draco got to the location, he did not see any door. Dobby then told him to think of what he would like the room to be equipped with. Draco thought this was the best location to meet the next day.
It was now one o' clock in the morning. Draco was really sleepy. No one was in the corridors. He went straight to bed.
