Chapter Five – I Miss You
"Should we wake them up?" someone asked
"What do you think they did last night?" another one asked with a mischievous grin
"Ew! You stupid pervert!"
"Excuse me!"
Harry and Ron came squishing through the crowd. They squished to the front and looked at the horrid sight. Ron clutched on Harry's robes and fell backwards.
"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!?"
Everyone turned around and saw McGonagall and Snape striding towards the crowd. They cleared out a path for them.
"Good gracious!"
On the floor, were Draco and Hermione asleep, hugging. Harry and Dean took Ron to the Hospital Wing. Draco's eyes suddenly opened and screamed as he saw the crowd looking over them. Some of them were giggling.
"Hermione…wake up" Draco whispered
"Hmm?" Hermione scratched her eyes and sat up. She opened them and was shocked to see, McGonagall, Snape and other students hovering over them.
"No need to answer Ms. Granger! 20 points will be taken off from Gryffindor and Slytherin!"
"Excuse me, professor. But Hermione happen to be crying last night and I found her in the broom closet. I went to comfort her and we ended up sleeping here"
McGonagall sighed, "Alright. 15 points will be taken. You may go now. All of you!" she snapped, "And you will have detention"
The crowd cleared and both Draco and Hermione groaned.
"Well, thanks" Hermione said, giving back the handkerchief
"No problem. Keep it" Draco said, smiling
"Um…see you around?"
"Yeah. See you around" Draco smiled again making Hermione smile too
Draco walked the other direction and almost slammed into the wall. Hermione giggled.
"Be careful" she called out
"I will"
Hermione shook her head and went to the Hospital Wing.
"Harry, I was dreaming, right? I'm hallucinating, right!? Tell me I am! Tell me I did NOT see Hermione with that scum on the floor! Hugging like they were sweethearts!!!" Ron wailed, grabbing onto Harry's robes, and shaking him back and forth
"Ron?"
Harry and Ron turned to the door and saw Hermione standing there
"Hermione! I was dreaming, right!? I didn't see you and Malfoy hugging together on the floor!"
Hermione's face fell and stayed silent.
"I did? I DID!?!?" Ron began screaming again
"Calm down, Ron!" Harry and Hermione yelled at the same time
"How can I calm down!? I saw Hermione with that Slytherin scum!"
Unexpected, Hermione suddenly slapped Ron.
"Hermione!" Harry gasped
"Thanks. I needed that"
"You better clam yourself, Ron. I'm not dating Malfoy anymore. So, don't worry"
"Yeah, you're right"
"I have to go. If you need me, I'll be in the library, doing my Charms essay" Hermione said goodbye and went to the library.
"I need a bath…" she said to herself and headed first to Gryffindor Common Room.
She took a bath and dressed in a black skirt, a white top and sandals. She looked at herself in the mirror and headed for the library.
Draco was in the Slytherin Common Room, taking a bath. After that, he placed on khaki jeans, a green shirt and shoes. He sat on the couch, thinking about the events that occurred last night and today. He sighed and stood up from the couch. He was about to step outside of the room when the statue moved and Pansy came in screaming.
"DRACO! YOU NEED TO BE CLEANSED!! YOU WERE WITH A MUDBLOOD!! TO THE BATHROOM!!"
"Shut up Pansy!"
"What!? You're telling me to shut up!?"
"Yes! Now, do it!"
Pansy pouted and sat down. Draco gave her a glare and went out of the Common Room. He walked briskly to the library. He pushed the heavy doors and went inside. He surveyed the room and found Hermione sitting on one side of the room. Draco smiled and went towards her.
"Hey" he said as he sat down
Hermione looked up, "You startled me"
"Sorry. So, what are you doing on this lovely Saturday?"
"I have a Charms essay to do"
"Well, why don't you give it a rest and have some fresh air?"
Hermione placed her quill down and looked at Draco, "I guess I could…"
"Please…" Draco started pouting and gave her puppy eyes
Hermione laughed, "Alright. I just can't resist that cute face of yours" Hermine pinched Draco's cheeks
"Ahh…you find me cute?"
"I did not say that!"
"Yes you did…don't even try to deny it" Draco was grinning wide
"Alright fine…I said it. It's true anyway" Hermione smiled
"C'mon. I'll show you something"
"What is it?"
"You'll never know until you find out" he smiled
Draco grabbed Hermione's hand and both went out of the library.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"What the hell am I doing!?" Cole screamed
In front of him were 5 pages of his Math notebook, filled with Hermione's name on it. Cole was doodling her name instead of doing his homework.
"Crap…I'm having a HO! (Hermione overdose)"
He placed his pen down and opened his English notebook. On the first page was Hermione's name on it, in big red bold letters.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"
"Cole! What's with the screaming!?" his mom asked, coming in the room
"Mum! Look! Look at my masterpiece!" he said sarcastically and the two notebooks, "In my Math notebook are 5 pages filled with Ione's name!! In my English notebook, on the first page of it, is Ione's name again!!! And look! It's written in big red bold letters!!"
"Son! Calm down!"
"I can't! I have HO! Hermione overdose!"
"Cole! Relax! Inhale! Exhale!"
Cole sat on his bed and breathed, "How many days more, mum? I miss her…not only that, I love her"
"I know Cole, I know…" she whispered and left Cole's room
*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione and Draco were walking down the hallways, towards the Slytherin Common Room. Draco had to get something for the big surprise. He told Hermioen to wait outside. Hermione sighed and looked at the window, then she saw Porky, her owl outside of the window. She gasped and let her owl in.
"Where have you been!? I wanted you to deliver another message to Cole for days!"
Porky gave a loud cry, "Oh no you don't. You're not going anywhere, until you deliver it!"
Porky hung its head low and stuck out her leg. Hermione took out a parchment from her pocket and tied it around Porky's leg.
"Bring it to Cole" she said
Porky hooted and flew away. Just in time, Draco came out of the Common Room.
"Sorry, I kept you waiting. Couldn't find it"
"You need your broom? What are we gonna do? Play Quidditch? I don't think so"
"No, we're not playing Quidditch. Let's go"
He took Hermione's hand and both of them went to the courtyard.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Cole wasn't in a happy mood as he got to school. He was about to open the door when Porky crashed on him.
"Aagh!" he tumbled on the sidewalk. He groaned and looked up, something was landing on him. It hit him. It was the letter Hermione had sent him. He unrolled it and began reading.
Cole,
It's me again, Ione. First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU! Thanks for being there all my life! Thanks for being a special and great friend! I still can't tell you where my school is. Because it may break the friendship we have now if I told you. Anyway, how are things going with you and Nina? And how's school?
Anyway, I'll be back in the summer. Don't worry. You'll see me again and we can see each other again. A distant friendship is hard to keep, but I struggle to keep it. I hope you do too. I know you miss me. I'll write to you as often as I can. I have to go now, classes are about to start.
I Miss You…
Love Always,
Ione
There was another parchment enclosed with the letter. It read:
Hey Cole!
Here's a song dedicated to you. You know her. She died two years ago in a plane crash. So, here goes.
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What I'm gonna do
Said I've been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same but who's been with you
Is your heart still mine, I wanna cry sometime
I miss you
Off to college, yes you went away
Straight from high school, you up and left me
We were close friends, also lovers
Did everything for one another
Now you're gone and I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live it and make it somehow
Come back to me, can you hear me (callin')
Callin' for you (for you)
Coz it's been too long and I'm lost without you
What I'm gonna do
Said I've been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same but who's been with you
Is your heart still mine, I wanna cry sometime
I miss you
Now I'm sitting here, thinking bout you
And the days we used to share
Is driving me crazy
I don't know what to do
I'm just wondering if you still care
I don't wanna let you know, that it's killing me
I know you got another life, you gotta concentrate, baby
Come back to me, can you hear me (callin')
Callin' for you
Coz it's been too long and I'm lost without you
What I'm gonna do
Said I've been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same but who's been with you
Is your heart still mine, I wanna cry sometime
I miss you
There. It's Miss You by Aaliyah. I gotta go now. See you in the summer!
Author's Notes: I feel like crying, coz I was writing this while listening to these songs:
