Rain of Tears
Chapter7
A Dinner of Sorts
"Alright, then...Draco. Draco" It was Malfoy's first tutor lesson with Hermione and he wouldn't pay attention to a word she was saying. They decided they would have the lessons in their common room. "Draco, if you don't care I'll tell McGonagall." He turned to her. "Go on tell her." Hermione was confused this was not the Malfoy she knew. The Malfoy she knew always did his best and always wanted to be the best. Hermione thought on this for a minute. Finally she said, "Can I ask you something."
"Ask away" said Malfoy shrugging.
"What...I mean...like...what happened to you. Once you were all...like...you wanted to be the best no matter what the cause. Now, it's like you don't even care. Said Hermione
Malfoy turned to look at Hermione "No reason to do the things I did. They don't matter to me anymore."
"But why the sudden change," asked Hermione still felling like he hadn't answered her question. Malfoy turned away and Hermione noticed that he didn't want to talk about it.
Malfoy turned to Hermione, "Now let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead," said Hermione feeling as if she had nothing to hide.
"What's up with you suddenly beginning to use the Head common room?"
Hermione just stared down at the window she then said, "Lets just say things haven't been going to well with some people I know."
Of course Malfoy knew whom she was referring to. "How could you hang out with those two losers?" asked Draco.
"Good question." Said Hermione. Draco's eyes widen, he had never heard Hermione talk bad about Harry and Ron before. "So" continued Hermione why are you using the head common room."
Draco looked at her as if she was crazy. "Number one, this common room is less crowded. And number two, have you seen all those girl that try to see me. If I stayed in the Slytherin Common room I would never have any peace and quite. It's like...like..."
"You have your own fan club." Said Hermione finishing his sentence for him.
"Ya" said Draco "And at least here, Parkinson and the others can't get me."
"So how does it feel to be famous?" Draco just shook his head and laughed.
Hermione looked at her watch. "Well your lesson ended 15 minutes ago and dinner started 10 minutes ago. So I'm going to go eat dinner. I'm starving, see you later."
She was making her way to the portrait hole when Draco called out "wait" Hermione turned around. "Come here. I want to show you something." Hermione walked back to were Draco was. "Close your eyes." he said. Hermione looked at him as if he was crazy. "Just do it. I wouldn't do anything I promise. If I do you can hex me." He said.
"Promise?" asked Hermione
"Promise." said Draco crossing his heart. Hermione didn't know why but she felt as if she could trust him, so she did what he asked. "Alright now tap your heals three times and say, 'I wish I had a fest.'" She said what he told her while taping her heals. "Alright open your eyes."
Hermione opened her eyes and her jaw dropped as she saw a balcony right outside where a window used to be. On the balcony was a glass table set for two. There were two plates, which held rice with salmon and shrimp. Candles lighted up the table, and there was a black rose on one side. "Dra...Draco this...this is magic!" said Hermione surprised and admiring Draco's work.
"Just a few spells I've picked up here and there," said Draco a bit proud of himself.
"It's amazing," said Hermione.
"Shall we," said Draco pulling a chair at the table for her to sit. Hermione took a seat and Draco sat in front of her.
"Now, I know why almost every girl in the school is in love with you." Draco raised an eyebrow.
"So what are you doing after Hogwarts?" asked Draco
"Mediwitch" said Hermione dully. "How about you?"
"Auror" said Draco
"I was going to do that," said Hermione.
" What made you change your mind?" asked Draco curiously.
Hermione played a bit with her food and thought on his question for a few moments before answering. "I don't know. This year just sucks. I was hopping it would have been the best out of my seven years here, but it's turning out to be the worst of them all." Said Hermione a bit angry
"Not for me" said Draco. Hermione looked up at him curiously. "I mean...It could be better," said Draco.
"I know what you mean. If things were only back to normal." She stopped and looked down at her food. "If I only had friends."
Malfoy looked up at these last words and said, "You do."
AN: I'm sorry again that I took so long . But I hope you liked it. I have up to chapter thirteen written but I get lazy when it come to typing and then a lot of things happened this weekend.
