Ch.9 "Too much Love"
It was days before Hermione and Draco finally spoke to one another. Hermione was too scared to face him after she rejected him, and Draco, well . . . gave Hermione her space, he was all to confused to even begin to ask her why she left him standing there.
Hermione was in the library trying to reach a charms book on the top shelf. She hated being 'short' and not being able to reach anything high up. Suddenly a mans arm grabbed the book for her and handed it to her. Hermione turned around to find Harry and Ron grinning down at her.
"Hey guys!" Hermione smiled and hugged her two best friends.
"Hey Mione" Ron and Harry replied at the same time. They all hugged (well, Harry and Ron hugged Hermione) and sat at one of the tables.
"So, Hermione, how's bein' Head Girl? With Malfoy and all?" Ron asked.
"Oh, you know . . . I'm very busy . . . Malfoy fine though . . . we are getting along" Hermione said and flipped through the old book.
"Getting along?!" Harry asked in a loud whisper.
"Oh Harry, honestly, would you stop acting so immature about this. Just because I am getting along with him doesn't mean that well . . . I'm getting along with him, if you know what I'm saying" Hermione protested and glared at the two. "We are simply friends . . . nothing more" Hermione lied. She wanted to be more than friends with Draco Malfoy. She wanted to be his. She wanted him to be hers. To have a relationship.
"You're lying Granger," Ron growled. He never called her Granger, he never called anyone by their last name unless he either hated them or . . . was furious with them. Hermione was hurt. How could Ron do that? Why did he have to call her 'Granger'? And in such a harsh tone?
"Come on Hermione" Harry said "I have seen the way you two look at each other . . . I cant believe you . . . messing around with the one that you very well know me and Ron hate. I thought you were my friend. And why? He has called you mudblood for as long as you have came to this school . . . always putting you down . . . now you're shagging him?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Harry James Potter! Don't you dare accuse me of such things! I know that he has called me names and everything but . . . he has changed! I'm sorry that you two are too thick-headed to realize that maybe . . . he has been there for me when you two weren't . . . who was there when I was crying? Huh? Who? Not you two, I can tell you that right now. It was Draco Malfoy, that's who. You two are too involved with your little one night stands to even realize what is happening to me . . . how I feel . . . what I have done!" Hermione yelled.
"You know we hate him Hermione! How could you! How could you even say such things! We have always been there for you . . . and this is how you repay us?! After all those years we were so close . . . I don't even know you anymore!" Ron yelled back.
Hermione was crying at this point, tears streamed down her face and she stood up, looking down at the boys.
"Of-of course you don't know m-me anym-more . . . you di-didn't even realize h-how I looked on t-the train!" Hermione sobbed "Did you?! Did y- you see me? Did you even realize that I . . . I'm bulimic!? Oh, do not look at me that way Ronald Weasley! You didn't see that I was so sickly looking? You could see my ribs . . . I was so weak . . . I could barely carry myself to do anything . . . and I was scared to tell you two . . . I was afraid that you two would think low of me . . . I thought you would say something to me on the train that day . . . I guess I was wrong" Hermione retorted. "But you know who saved my life? You know who came and rescued me from myself . . . who made me feel alive again? Draco did" Hermione smiled through her tears, "And there is nothing you can do to change the way I feel about him" and with that she left the pair at the table in the library staring at each other.
"I-I had no idea" Harry whispered.
"Neither did I" Ron whispered back.
"But . . . it's so wrong . . . the fact that she and him are . . ." Harry began.
"They aren't Harry don't worry" Ron said softy
"Do you think that she loves that git?" Harry asked
"Dunno" Ron sighed "Hope not . . . that's the last thing we need . . . little Malfoy's with bushy curly hair running around sassing people, and with their nose in a book"
The two laughed. They were not really mad anymore but upset that Hermione did not come to them first . . . they would just have to get over it.

Hermione entered the Heads dorm and started to her room but stopped in her tracks when she saw Draco sitting on the couch, staring at her.
"What happened a while ago? Why did you leave like that?" he asked softly
"Draco, it's complicated" Hermione answered and suddenly became very interested in the floor.
"Mione, I love you"
"I love you too Draco" Hermione sniffed "that's why I left . . . I don't want to hurt you . . . I don't want to get hurt. I have been hurt before and I do not want to go through that again. But I love you so much"
Draco hugged Hermione and whispered in her ear, "Mione, I wont hurt you, whatever happened before, I wont let it happen again. I love you too much to hurt you"
Hermione nodded and pulled him closer to her.
"You love me too much Draco Malfoy" Hermione sniffed again.
