Scenes from A Hat
Ch. 6
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, though I do wish I owned the book Draco, and Sirius... That would be grand!
Draco and Hermione walked into the bathroom. She turned the shower on, and walked over to him. Steam poured out, and Draco wanted to see her, but unfortunately she had put her robe back on.
"Accio robe!" He commanded. Almost immediately Hermiones robes flew to Draco's outstretched hands. He caught them with a mischievous grin.
"That's not fair. I'm naked AGAIN, and you have your clothes on." She whined.
"Well you have nothing to be ashamed of." He said.
"Uh, hello? You're more perfect than I am!"
"No, I have scars... You don't..." Draco turned as if ashamed.
"Look Draco, I don't know what you've been through, but if you want to talk, I'm here. Besides I think your perfect just the way you are. They give you character, and I promise to kiss them all better." She tried to pout her lips seductively. It worked because Draco stared at her, and then went to her.
Harry and Ginny walked up to the Weasley manor hand in hand. They stopped at the doorway glancing at each other.
"Wow seems like this place gets bigger and bigger." Harry drifted off, watching Ginny closely.
"Yea, but we have a nice house also."
"Yea...I just wish that Ron let Hermione work, I miss her at the office."
"And on the field, she was one of the best Aurors, the ministry has ever had!" Exclaimed Ginny.
"Yea...Well shall we go inside"?
"Sure, why not" She giggled. The knocked, and within seconds the door was opened by the servant girl.
"Hullo Harry, Ginny" She gave a nod. "Mistress Hermione is in her room. Shall I get her?"
"Yes please" Harry said.
"Wait here, I'll be back soon." She walked away.
"Well," Harry said with a sigh "sit down sugar."
"Hahaha Harry, stop that. You're so silly." She blushed. She went and sat next to him kissing his cheek. He turned to her putting his hands around her waist.
"Now you know where that will get us honey.." He smiled.
Meanwhile..
"Hermione" Draco gasped. "You're amazing... I can't breathe.. I just want to be here, with you. I want to feel you forever, see everything about you. Let's go away from here, forever, just us somewhere alone. We can dance under the stars. I'll buy you anything, the moon, the stars, everything, and everything.." With that he moved his wand and a miniature moon and galaxy appeared swirling in his palm. He threw them in the air and they sprinkled little stardust and moonbeams down on Hermione. She giggled with joy.
"Draco.. I don't know what to say this is all so...So sudden." She sat stunned, no one had ever committed themselves to her like he had. "Are you for real?" She touched his chest and felt his heart. She set her ear against his heart to hear it beat. Then she kissed it and looked up at him.
"Yes I am. I have wanted to tell you how I feel for so long. Watching you marry Weasley was the hardest thing in the world for me. Hermione you're stunning, and he's holding you back. You deserve to be treated like a queen, and I'm the man to do that for you."
"I don't know.. Ron and I, there's so much there. I've known him for so long, and he's known me.." Her voice faded, and a lump developed in her throat. Did she really have feelings for him, even after everything?
"Hermione I want you to be happy, but I just want you to know that you were the only thing keeping me here. After my parents arranged for me to marry Pansy I just died. I got this for you, for a graduation present. I've had it ever since that night..." He turned and set down a beautiful silver necklace with ruby and emerald stones. The pendant resembled a dragon, and then a lion entwined together.
"Draco this...This is beautiful. You got this for me?"
"Yes I planned on giving it to you, but then well you know.." He wasn't looking at her.
"Yes I do, I'm so sorry." Her eyes now welled up.
FLASHBACK:
Draco sat by the window in the Head Boy/Girl common room. Today was the day that he would tell her everything. His hands were shaking, his mouth was dry, and his heart was racing. How would he know if she would accept? He held his present tight as if it were his death if he let it go. The sky was dark, and many students were crying and saying their last goodbyes. The night was winding down, but soon it would be just him and her. Like always.
There were many times when they were so close, yet so far away. She slept in his bed when she had bad dreams, they wrestled, and they talked about anything and everything, and laughed. They knew each other too well, and they had fun. By the end of the year they were finishing each other's sentences! He knew when she held his hand that she was the one, yes Hermione Granger was the one. She sent chills down his spine, and made his heart do flips! Yes he would tell her tonight.
Draco continued to wait, he had asked Hermione to meet him in the common room at 12:00, after their shifts were done. He had finished early, and Hermione had said she would be honored to meet him. 11:50, where was she? She's usually early. Maybe detained by her duties. 11:55 ok this was getting a little odd, she was normally in bed by now, but no. No one has been in here he was here all day. 12:00 no Hermione. Draco continued to wait. He would see why she was out so late.
1:00 the painting on the wall moved open, sending in a stream of light. He stood up, covered by the shadows; he smiled in her direction. Until.. Who could that be? Weasley? No it couldn't be maybe he was hurt, yes that must be it. Hermione leaned forward onto Ron, he cupped her face and they shared a long kiss. He gave her a hug, and pulled her close smelling her hair. "Your room? Or should I take you right here pussycat?" "Ron! Not right here! You're being too loud! Draco might...Oh no Draco!" "What about him? I'm right here baby that's all you need to know!" "I was supposed to meet him for something, Head Boy/Girl probably." "Ha! Well now were here all alone" He leaned in and kissed her.
Draco's heart shattered. He cared so much and yet it was HIM she preferred? He would get her in the end he vowed. "Ron seriously not here, you know I don't want to wake anyone up" "c'mon baby, who cares? Honestly?" "No need to worry Mione I'm stepping out, uh I'll see you around? Oh and by the way your uh late. Bye" He emerged from the shadows the pendant in his pocket. Wearing his usual smirk, he turned to go.
"Draco wait. Please!" She felt something for him, but Ron.. "Don't worry about it Mione, it's cool." With that he stepped out, and slept in his old common room.
End Of Flashback
They sat down holding each other tightly remembering all the good times and the bad times. There was a knock at the door. Hermione got up and went to get it only to feel Draco's hand on hers. She looked into his pleading eyes.
Don't go they screamed at her. "I'll be right back, ok?"
"Alright, I'm not worried." He said coolly. She walked out of the bathroom and into her own room to open the door.
"Yes, what is it?"
"You have company Madame." She peered around into the doorway, and saw the handsome stranger walking into the room with nothing but a towel on. Glancing at Hermione she noticed nothing but a robe on. She quickly looked away.
"Thank you, you may go. I'll be right down." With that the servant girl left, and went down the hallway.
Hermione turned to face Draco who had made his way to the bed was smiling at her.
"What was all that about?"
"We have guests so lets get dressed!" She exclaimed.
"We? Don't you think that it will be odd seeing us emerge from the same room, you know."
"Hmm, maybe. Get dressed, and we'll see!" She walked over to him and straddled his body and kissed his neck and collarbone.
"Ok...?"
Hermione went to her closet and opened it up. Draco went to the balcony and gathered his things remembering what all had happened, and never forgetting it all.
