Chapter Six – Take Me Somewhere I've Never Been
"C'mon Draco. What's your surprise?" Hermione asked, getting impatient
Draco and Hermione were in the courtyard and Draco had his broom in his hands. He mounted on it and looked at Hermione.
"C'mon. Ride in front of me"
"I'm afraid of heights," Hermione blurted
"Don't worry. I won't let you fall" Draco held out his hand for Hermione to take
Hermione looked at him and smiled.
"I'm trusting you" Hermione moved forward and sat on the broom, in front of Draco
"Don't worry" he smiled
Draco's broom moved and went higher. Before they knew it, they were out of Hogwarts. Hermione looked around and saw land and water. They hovered for a few minutes and stopped on top of a hill. Draco set aside his broom and Hermione gazed at the sunset.
"Oh Draco, it's beautiful" she said and smiled at him
"I'm glad you like it" he smiled too
They sat on the ground and both watched the sun go down, deeper and deeper, until it was nightfall. Hermione smiled and leaned on Draco. Draco smiled and put his arm around her.
"Draco?"
"Hmm?"
"Why me?" Hermione asked, sitting up
"Well, um…I think you inspire me? No…well, its because you're-…"
Hermione cut him off by giving him a kiss on the lips.
"Because I'm?"
"Because you're beautiful"
"And you're the sweetest guy I ever met" she smiled and he smiled back at her. Both stared at each other's eyes for a while. Their face drew closer to each other and finally, their lips met and kissed again.
"I love you Hermione"
"And I love you Draco"
They flew back to the castle, when it was already dinner time. Everyone was there, except for the two of them.
"Harry, where's Hermione?"
Harry wasn't listening, he was too busy with Lavender.
"HARRY!" Ron screamed
"Huh? What did you say Ron? I wasn't listening."
"Where's Hermione!?"
"Hi guys"
Hermione suddenly appeared and sat across them.
"Where were you all day? We checked in the library but you weren't there. Your Charms essay was there, but you weren't. Where were you?"
"Um…I was…" Hermione stopped when Draco's face distracted her from speaking, "Um…I was…with Dumbledore…" she lied
"Oh…okay" Harry and Ron shrugged and went back to eating
At the Slytherin Table, Pansy was pestering Draco.
"Oh Drakie, where were you?"
"None of your business!" he snapped
"But it is my business, after all, we are getting married in the future. So I have the right to know." She batted her eyelashes at him
"We are NOT getting married! Never in my life! I would just do matrimonial suicide than to spend my entire life with you!" he yelled at her
"You don't have to yell and you're just acting"
"Ugh…I have to go, I still have detention" he muttered
"I'll take your place…" Pansy said, grabbing his arm
"NO!"
He yelled, retrieving his arm back and stormed out of the Great Hall.
"I have to go guys, I still have detention" Hermione said
"Okay. Be careful. You have detention with Malfoy. I don't want him hurting you" Ron said with a frown
"I will" Hermione said, getting up and leaving the Great Hall.
At the door, Draco was waiting for her.
"I thought you'd never come" he said
"I wouldn't miss detention with you" she said and both walked away going to Filch's office.
"We're here" Draco said as they got to Filch's office
"Good. Follow me"
They followed him to the trophy room. Draco groaned, he knew what was going to happen.
"You will clean these trophies, without the use of magic" he said and walked away with Mrs. Norris
They began cleaning the trophies when Draco suddenly got tired.
"How do you keep up with these?" he groaned
Hermione laughed, "Patience. It takes patience to clean all of these" she said
Draco sighed and tried to do 'patience'.
After two hours, they finally finished cleaning the trophies.
"There, we're done" Draco said
"Good" Hermione yawned, "Let's go. I'm tired and I want to sleep"
They both walked hand in hand towards the Gryffindor Common Room. They got there and stopped by the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Thanks for the surprise"
"No problem. I just want to see you happy"
"And you did it"
She smiled and both gave a goodnight kiss.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Cole folded the letter and placed it back in the envelope and stuffed it in his bag. He pushed the door open to his school and walked towards his locker.
"Hey Cole!"
Cole looked around and saw his best friend, Adam Wright.
"Hey Adam" he sighed
"What's with the long face? Oh, I heard that you and Nina broke up. What happened?"
"Nothing's wrong and it's a long story"
"I have time" Adam said
Cole sighed again. He told Adam the long story when suddenly Adam's girlfriend, Angel Buchanan approached them.
"Hey Cole, I heard you and Nina broke up. Well, she is a bitch anyway. You deserve someone better. Like that girl…what's her name again?"
"Hermione?" Cole said
"Yeah her"
Cole sighed and got his notebooks, "Just look at my notebooks! It's filled with Ione's name!"
"Wow Cole. You must be obsessed with her. What happened to her?" Angel asked
"She had to go to this foreign school that I don't know about. And she won't tell me. And look at this letter! It crashed onto me" he said, retrieving the letter he got earlier
"This letter 'crashed' onto you?"
"An owl delivered it and it crashed onto me"
"Oh…"
They began reading the letter when Angel almost cried.
"Aw, don't cry baby" Adam said, kissing her forehead. Cole rolled her eyes
"I have to go. See you in English Class"
He grabbed the letter back and walked to his class.
After English, Cole got Art class with Adam and Angel. Ms. Burnett, the Art teacher told their project for the day.
"I want you to paint a person, who's very important to you, besides your family. Okay? You may start. You have the whole period to do it"
Cole stared at the canvas in front of him. He grabbed his paintbrush and dipped it with black paint. He began doing the outline of Hermione's face on the canvas. After the outline, he can already see Hermione's face painted on it.
Cole grabbed another paintbrush and dipped it in with brown paint. He began doing Hermione's hair and eyes. He washed the brown paint off with water and dipped his thin paintbrush with pink and mixed it with a bit of white paint and did the lips.
After an hour, before the bell rang, Cole was finished with his painting of Hermione and left it to dry. Ms. Burnett went to his station and looked at the painting.
"That's an excellent painting, Cole."
Adam and Angel looked and saw a painting of Hermione.
"Who is it?" Ms. Burnett asked
"Hermione…Hermione Granger" Cole replied
"Hermione Granger? I've never heard of her. Does she study here?"
"No. She studies in a foreign school"
"Oh. Great job on the details" Ms. Burnett said and walked away
"Nice painting, Cole" Angel said
"Yeah." Adam agreed
"Who did you guys paint?"
"Her" Adam said
"Him" Angel replied
All three of them began to laugh. The bell rang and everyone was dismissed.
