Chapter III
The next morning, Hermione did nothing but relax. She started of with a long morning bath then went down to eat a hot and hearty breakfast. After that, she couldn't think of anything to do. Just then, the door bell suddenly rang.
"Finally! Someone to talk to for even just a fraction of a second." Hermione said all the while heading for the door.
When Hermione started open the door, she didn't expect who she would see at the door. But she opened it anyway and was surprised at what she saw.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco was in the bath having a nice hot shower when suddenly the phone rang. He then sighed and got the phone in the bathroom.
"Hello?"
"Drakie?"
Draco rolled his eyes with the nickname. "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to tell you that we can't push through with our date today."
Draco almost audibly sighed in relief but restrained himself by trying to sound disappointed.
"And why, pray tell, could we not push through?"
"Well...the girls and I...um...have a little project to do, so...maybe you could just pick Mione up?"
"Whatever you say. Can I hang up the phone, now?"
"No, wait! I have to give you her address."
Draco then got out of his bath, put on a bath robe and got a piece of paper and pen.
"Tell me then."
Pansy blabbed out Mione's address, Draco jotted it down hurriedly. After the long and annoying phone call, Draco put the phone down and sighed. 'This is going to be a long day.'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione saw an obviously upset Pansy. She was looking at the ground. Then she looked up and Hermione gasped. Pansy Parkinson was crying!
"Pansy, what's wrong?" Hermione said while she let Pansy inside and set her down on the couch. "What happened to you?"
Pansy cried a little more before answering. "I-it's...D-Draco."
Hermione was a little surprised. "What happened to Draco?"
"Draco suddenly changed." Pansy started, "I don't know why, but I just feel that he doesn't want me around anymore."
Hermione sighed and patted Pansy's back, letting her cry on her shoulder. She then started to think. 'Why would Draco change rapidly like that? What suddenly interrupted their relationship? It's not me...is it?' Now, that's when Hermione started to panic. What if it was her that was the cause? What would she do?
"What should I do, Mione?" Pansy suddenly asked which caused Hermione to snap out of her thoughts. "What should I do to make him like me again?"
Hermione looked down at Pansy and said, "Talk to him during your date."
Silence. Pansy started to cry for the third time that morning. Hermione was alarmed at this. She didn't know what she said wrong.
"Shh. It's okay, it's okay." Pansy then slowly stopped crying.
"Why? What's wrong? Can't you talk to him during your date?" She asked after Pansy stopped crying.
Hermione looked expectantly at her until she simply said,
"I postponed it."
"What?!"
"I said, I postponed the date." Pansy said standing up and walking towards the window. "I called him earlier this morning while he was taking his shower-..."
"How did you know he was taking a shower?" Hermione cut in.
"Oh, that. He takes a shower every morning."
"Oh."
"So, like what I said, I called him earlier this morning while he was taking his shower and postponed it. But don't worry, he'll be picking you up. I gave him your address."
"Why?" Hermione asked following Pansy up.
Pansy sighed a sarcastic sigh while looking away from the window and turned to face Hermione.
"I gave him your add-..."
"No. Not that. Why did you postpone your date?"
Pansy sighed yet again and looked back at the window.
"I just wasn't ready to face him. I was scared that he might..."
"That he might just ignore you or something like that?"
"Yes." Pansy answered and looked back at Hermione.
Hermione stared back at her and saw the sorrow and need of help in her eyes. Pansy suddenly looked away and said, "He even forgot our date last night when I called him."
"Hmm." Hermione said nodding. She then came to a conclusion, "I'll talk to him."
Pansy looked at her with wide eyes and cried, "What?!"
"I'm going to talk to him, Pansy. If he won't listen to you then I'll give it a shot."
Pansy smiled and confined her in a bear hug. "Thanks, Mione."
"No problem. What are friends for anyway?"
They stayed like that a little longer until Pansy pulled away.
"Thanks again, Mione. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Anytime, Pansy. Anytime."
"Well, I better go," Pansy said while looking at her wrist watch. "Draco will be here any minute."
Hermione looked at her own watch and gasped. "You're right! I better get ready."
"Yeah. I'll go now. Okay, Mione?"
"Okay! Be careful."
"I will."
Pansy went out the door and left while Hermione ran straight up the stairs to get changed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A few minutes later, a black Jaguar parked in front of Hermione's home. A blond haired male youth wearing shades stepped out of the vehicle and put his shades on top of his head. The young man looked at a piece of paper and looked up to check the address. He went up the stairs to Hermione's door...
'Well, here goes nothing.'
...and rang the door bell.
Dreamaker: So, how as it? I think it was longer than the first two chapters. I know it's mostly girl talk. For me, I think this is where the plot begins. But not really the climax. the climax will be the reason as to why this fic was rated R. Well, until the next chapter. Please review.
