Chapter 5 is mostly a flashback. I was gonna wait till tomorrow to start
this, but I just got a wind of inspiration.
Chapter 5
"They've been in there forever."
"Well, I am sure he has a lot to inform Dumbledore of. The more we know the better."
"I guess you are right Hermione, I just hate waiting."
Just then, the phoenix statue revealed Professor Dumbledore and followed quickly by Draco Malfoy.
"Ah, hello Hermione, Harry, Ron. Well, Mr. Malfoy here has just informed me on quite a bit here. I am sure he is quite tired and would like to retreat to his bed at the moment," Professor looked down to Draco who nodded. "Right then, so I believe it would be best if you three head back to your common rooms."
"With all do respect Professor, after what we have been through tonight, I think we deserve to go to sleep with a bit of an understanding," Hermione was not going to bed without any answers.
Dumbledore looked from Hermione to Ron and Harry. "I am sorry Miss Granger but this best be put till morning," Hermione huffed in disagreement, "Miss Granger, I'm sorry. Goodnight." He turned around and headed back up the stairs to his office.
"Well, aren't you going to tell us anything Malfoy," Ron spat at Draco.
"Weasley, you heard Dumbldore, best to go to sleep," he looked over at Hermione, "besides, I believe one of you knows the truth, they just need to realize that that is exactly what it is."
He gave a long hard stare at Hermoine, turned on his heels and walked away.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" asked Ron angrily towards Draco's back, but he did not respond, "Oh this is unreal!"
"Hermione, do you know what he is talking about?" asked Harry in a quiet voice.
Hermione was still staring as Draco disappeared around the corner, "Huh? Oh, um no. Not a clue. Look I left some of my things down in the library. You two go back to the common room, I will see you in a bit."
"Well, we'll come with you."
"No Ron, it's alright, you two look exhausted. I will see you in the morning head to bed," And she began to walk away.
"Hermione?"
"Just go to bed, I am fine!" and she kept walking.
"What in the bloody hell?"
"Not sure Ron, let's just go to bed, the back of my eyelids are calling my name."
"Alright Harry, let's go."
And they headed back to Gryffindor Tower.
Once she was out of sight of Ron and Harry, she sped up her walk. She was about to give up when she finally saw a figure near the door to the History of Magic classroom.
"Malfoy? Are you alright?"
"Oh yes, just fine. I knew you would come after me. Took ya long enough Granger." He walked over to her, "You believe me right? Everything I told you, about my father and Voldemort and what they tried to do and how I don't want anything to do with them and...."
"Shhh..." and she placed her finger over his mouth. She moved it quickly, "I, I do believe you Draco, I really do."
He smile, "You just called me Draco, you have never called me anything but Malfoy," he moved closer to her.
"Yes well, now I know you are human after all," she breathed as he walked closer, closing her in between him and the wall.
"Am I? Human, huh?" he place his hand on her neck, "That's good to know," he leaned in and placed his lips on hers. Gentle at first, then deep and strong. Hermione moved her hands up to his chest, enjoying every moment. She then quickly pushed him away.
"I...I need to get back. To Gryffindor shower, I mean Tower. Don...I mean Ron and Mary, I mean Harry are waiting for me," and she quickly walked away.
He shouted after her, "Right then, well, send Don and Mary my love!" and he walked towards the dungeons with a rather large grin on his face.
