Chapter Four – Can't Stop Thinking About You
"Cole, what are you muttering about!?" Nina demanded, tapping a foot on the ground
"Huh? I'm not muttering…"
"Yes you are! And tell me! Now!"
Cole sighed, "Alright, if you want to know the truth. I miss Hermione. It's been…I don't know! Months since I last saw her!"
"Cole! It's only October! You last saw her last month! Jesus, get a hold of yourself!"
"I am Nina! It's just that, I've known her for a long time and I don't want our friendship to end…and I think…" Cole paused and looked at Nina
"You're in love with her? Damnnit Cole! We've been together for almost a year now and you're breaking up with me!?"
"God Nina! Stop being jealous! She's only a friend!"
"A girlfriend's more like it! And I'm not jealous!"
"Oh yeah? Prove it!"
Nina fell silent. She couldn't take it anymore and slapped Cole
"It's over! We're through!" she started walking away
"And I'm glad it is!" Cole said placing a hand on his cheek. Nina shot him a glare and walked back home.
Cole walked the other direction and opened the door. His mum greeted him.
"How's your date with Nina?"
"She broke up with me" Cole said
"Why? How come?"
Cole sat on the couch, next to his mother, "I just told her that I miss Hermione and I told her that she was jealous. And the usual stuff and then she slapped me on the face and broke up with me"
"Cole, Nina is a sensitive girl. She's really jealous when it comes to guys talking about their friends or the ex-girlfriends"
"I know that mom. But I really miss Hermione"
Ingrid sighed at her son and hugged him, "She'll come back…I know she will"

This silence is getting to me Hermione thought
"So…" Malfoy started
"What?"
"What you wanna talk about?" Malfoy asked drinking his butterbeer
"I don't know" Hermione replied
Could this girl get any worse!? She's bloody boring! Malfoy thought
"Um…you look beautiful…" BLOODY HELL! Where did THAT come from!?
"Um…gee…thanks" she blushed Is this the evil Malfoy or did someone possess his sexy bad boy attitude into a…Oh my God! I did not put sexy and Malfoy into one sentence!! This can't be happening!!!!
"You wanna dance?" Malfoy said
"Where?"
"There's place just across this"
Hermione shrugged, "Okay" she smiled
Malfoy stood up and waited for Hermione. And then they walked together across the Three Broomsticks.
Malfoy pushed the door open. Hermione's fell to the first couple she saw. Lavender and Harry!
"Oh God!" Hermione twirled around so they can't see her
"Don't worry" Malfoy grabbed her hand and darted to the dance floor
The lights dimmed and a slow song [Miss You – Aaliyah] was being played. It suddenly reminded her of Cole. Malfoy placed one hand around her waits and the other on her hand. Hermione felt a pink tinge on her cheeks. She hoped that Lavender or Harry won't see her.
They danced and Hermione even rested her head on his shoulder. It wasn't much later when Hermione ran out of the door and Malfoy chased her out of the door.
"Hey, was that Hermione?" Lavender asked Harry
"Couldn't be" he said and Lavender shrugged
"Hermione! It's not that bad!"
"Yes it is Draco!" tears suddenly fled down her face, she turned to him, "It isn't about Lavender and Harry seeing me with you! It's just that…ugh! Personal reasons!"
"Did you just call me Draco?"
"Yeah, so? You did call me Hermione"
"Anyway, you can tell me."
Hermione opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out, "I'm sorry. I just can't"
Hermione twirled around and ran back to the castle.
"Malfoy!"
Malfoy turned around and saw Harry with Lavender following behind him.
"What do you want, Potter?"
"What are you doing here? I heard Hermione's voice. So, where is she?"
"I'm on a date with her!"
"YOU!? I thought it was somebody else!"
"It was. My cousin! He had to leave for reasons that I can't tell you. And he told me to take his place! I had no idea it was Herm–Granger! was his date!"
Harry said no more and went back to the castle with Lavender, leaving Malfoy there. He ran a hand through his blonde hair and also ran back to the castle.
Malfoy arrived in the castle and was looking for Hermione.
"Crap. It has been hours and I still can't find that girl!" he told himself
He suddenly heard cries coming from the broom closet, just beside him. He raised an eyebrow and opened the broom closet and found a weeping Hermione.
"Hermione!"
"Leave me alone!"
"You can't stay inside here forever!"
"Yes I can! Watch me do it!" she grabbed for the handle and was about to slam it shut, when Malfoy stopped her.
"Stop it Hermione. Just relax and you can tell me what's bothering you."
Hermione shook her head, "I can't."
"You want help, right?"
"Yes"
"I'm gonna give you HELP if you tell me what it is!"
"I just can't! That's all! I can tell you if I feel like telling you"
Malfoy sighed and reached out for his pocket. He took out a white handkerchief and handed it to her.
"Thanks" she said
"It's okay"
He sat beside her and placed an arm around her. Letting her tears drop on him.
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
"Well, I'm not usually like this, but I guess…I don't know"
Hermione sniffled, "Underneath that Slytherin guise is a nice Malfoy?"
"I guess…stay quiet about it" Hermione nodded. He hugged her and both sat on the cold floor.
Nina sucks. LoL. I'm criticizing my own character! And I have this sweet imagination of Draco and Hermione sitting on the floor! Anyway, review! D/Hr Forever!
