Chapter Four: The Needs
The day went by quickly for me. I can never get enough of school. But today, I wanted it to end. We were already at the end of potions, and Snape wasn't acting himself. Oh well. I couldn't wait for the time that I could be with him. Dinner dragged on. I couldn't be patient. It really sucked. I don't know what it was either. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and left the Great Hall. I guess Draco saw me leave, because when I got out of there, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and there wasn't anyone in the section that I was in. I frowned and turned back around. There he was. How did he get ahead of me? Oh well. He stopped and waited for me to catch up. I smiled for the first time in hours. 'I guess he needed to be with me as much as I needed to be with him.' I thought to myself. He looked at me and smiled at me, then said,
"We need to talk."
"I know." I answered.
We walked to the trophy room together, not saying word.
Hermione was growing restless at dinner. I was watching her, like I always do. I could tell that she was anxious to leave. I was anxious to just be with her. When she left, so did I. We bumped into each other in the corridor and walked to the Trophy Room together. When we got there, I really wanted to hear what she had to say.
"We need to talk." She said.
" You can go first."
She took a deep breath, "I…I…I…I've been thinking about you a lot," she looked at me "and I think we need to do something about this.
" You see, when I'm away from you I'm in agony. And I'm just so confused. I need," she stopped suddenly. The trophy room was a large room with one door. The door was opening slowly.
To my and Hermione's relief it was just Harry and Ron. They were probably wondering where Hermione was.
"Oh, sorry."
"You scared me!" Hermione said.
"What are you two doing?" Ron asked.
"We are talking, Ron Weasley, is that okay with you?"
"Yeah." Ron and Harry left, I swear, Harry winked at me.
"Where was I?" She asked me.
"You need," I prompted.
"Oh yeah. I need you."
Ron and Harry came in giving me a fright. As soon as I finished talking, Draco started.
"I need you too, Hermione." He said. God he has a beautiful voice. "And," he hesitated, "I want you to be my girlfriend."
I know it was rude to look bewildered, because he was being truthful, but I couldn't help it.
" But… but…" I stuttered, "What will everyone think? I mean, I want to be and everything, but… it's kinda common knowledge that we were enemies for five years."
"We could keep it a secret." He said.
"From everyone?" I asked.
"Everyone you wanted to keep it a secret from." He replied. "You could tell everyone if you wanted to." He said.
Then it happened. He did what I wanted him to do. He kissed me.
"I'm still confused, " I whispered.
He laughed. "So am I Hermione. So am I."
"I'm still confused." She whispered.
"So am I, Hermione. So am I. " I said.
So I guess we kept it a secret. Some found out. Like Harry and Ron. Those two freaks, oh well they're nice so… hmm… well I don't know how we kept it a secret from people. Rumors spread like wild fire here. Oh well… I'm kind of surprised myself. Thank goodness that when we had a dance thing, it was a masquerade. That was the beginning of the good luck. Then things got bad again, well not for me but for my father they did. They found a lot of his dark arts stuff. He tried to tell them that he didn't know how it got there, but… this isn't supposed to be funny but I find it hilarious, they gave him that truth potion thing and then sent him to Azkaban. No more killing for him. And now, even if he finds out that I love a muggle born witch, he can't do anything about it. I started laughing like a loon when I realized this. Right in the middle of class too. Every single person in Transfiguration looked at me like I was crazy. But in a way I am crazy so... ha.
A.N. Yeah I hate this chapter. it's lame!
