Chapter 14:
I stood looking out my window at the grounds below. When I looked out the window I felt as if all my problems were as far away as the stream in the distance, but when I turned from the window they were there staring me in the face. I couldn't run or get away from them and I was tired of running. I didn't realize this until I talked to that woman the other day that I had always ram from my problems. Hogwarts is where I would run to. There the problems I faced I had to meet head on because they were life or death situations most of the time. I couldn't avoid those, but the problems I faced at home weren't. At home my problems were all ones I didn't talk about, to anyone. Problems I thought if I just ignored they would go away. "Hermione," a voice said from the other side of the door. "Come in," I said. Draco walked in looking more handsome than ever. "Hermione I brought you some food," he said looking genuinely concerned at my having not eaten dinner last night of breakfast this morning. "Thanks just set it down," I said pointing to my bedside table. "Are you all right?" he asked. "I'm fine just a little shaken up is all," I said which in part was true. "All right," he said. The gave me a hug. "Can I come in?" Harry asked standing in my doorway. "Come in," I told him. Draco let go of me. "Today Maddie had guests she wants you to meet," Harry told me. "There muggles so dress in muggle clothing." "All right," I said. "I'll eat this and then get dressed and come down, give me about ten minutes," I said. "Okay," Harry said. "Come on Malfoy." They left me to my solitude which I had come to love over my lifetime. I stuffed the turkey sandwich into my mouth. (Not all in the same bite I assure you.) Then ran upstairs to get dressed. I put on a periwinkle skirt that came down just above the knees with a white top. I had to always look presentable to guests and that is what is considered presentable. I hurried to the elevator and went down to the tea room where guest normally were kept. "Hello," I said as I entered. "Hermione these are the Burnquists," Maddie said. "They are our neighbors." "Nice to meet you," I said politely. "Nice to meet you too," they said. Just then Draco, Ron, and Harry entered. "Mr. and Mrs. Burnquist this is Draco Malfoy, a friend of the family, and this is Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, friends of Hermione's from school," she introduced. "Harry, Ron, Draco these are these Burnquists." "Nice to meet you," they all said. Tea was incredibly boring. The Burnquists were wearisome people on the planet. After what seemed like a century they left. "Oh my god," I said. "I don't think I have ever met people as boring as them." "Be nice Hermione," Maddie scolded but I could tell she agreed. I went up to my room and a little while later Draco came in. "I see you ate," he said. "You don't have to worry about me," I told him. "I'm quite capable of taking care of myself." "I'm sure you are," he said. "Well I am," I told him. "Of course," he said with a laugh. "Quit teasing me," I scolded jokingly. "Fine," he said and kissed me. "What the Hell?" Ron said in my doorway. AN: Hope you like. REVIEW
