Chapter 10: Forceful Kisses and Sweet Love
Draco smiled at the sight of Hermione asleep in his arms. ' I don't care what my father-dearest thinks of her, she's mine. And I love her.' He gazed up into the stars, and thought of what it would be like at the dance. He knew Hermione's costume would fit a prince costume, but what was it? It might be a Princess. ' That's gotta be what it is.' He thought to himself as more and more people returned to Hogwarts. 'Its getting late, and we need to eat…' " Hermione," Draco whispered, and shook her shoulder slightly. " Huh?" Her head lifted a few inches off his shoulder, and then realizing where she was, placed her head back in its previous place. "I think we need to get something to eat." She looked up into his eyes, and smiled sweetly, " Okay, just a few more minutes?" Draco nodded, and she snuggled closer to him. He held her close for a few more moments, wonderful moments he (and hopefully Hermione,) wouldn't forget. Then he smiled, pulled her to her feet, and guided her to the Castle.
Harry and Ron were waiting for her when she entered the Great Hall. " Oh no… Lord, please help me deal with these idiots!" She said as Draco pulled his cloak back on, and took his arm off her. She smiled at him as he headed towards the Slytherin table, and she towards Gryffindor.
Harry saw Hermione FINALLY enter the Great Hall. He nudged Ron in the arm and jerked his head towards Hermione and Draco. When she sat down, Harry glared at her. " What?!" She asked defensively to Harry. He still just glared at her. "Harry, why the hell are you glaring at me?!!" Hermione was already pissed at him as it was, but this was just plain upsetting her. Ron looked at Harry, then to Hermione and shrugged. He mouthed to her, ' I have no clue what's wrong…' Hermione understood, and she knew why he was mad. He must've seen her and Draco outside on the grounds. Suddenly, Professor Dumbledore stood up, and clinked his spoon against his glass, " Please, please, settle down." He smiled at the students then continued after the silence, " I must thank a couple of students before I continue. As you know, the night before last, a terrible tornado hit the school. And I owe all my thanks to the two people that helped the most, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Miss Granger informed me of the storm, if she had not come, most of you would most likely be dead. And my thanks to Mr. Malfoy, as he informed the Slytherins of the storm and got them all into the main dungeon. Thank you both! I must also thank the rest of you, for cooperating." Hermione turned to look for Draco, and she caught sight of him. He was smiling brilliantly at her, and she smiled in return. When all the clapping stopped, professor Dumbledore continued, " Now, The Halloween ball isn't far off, and I would like to inform that this dance will be about 10 hours long. It will be from 7 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning.. I know, I know… Its going to be exhausting. But, I want you all to know, that we all want you to return to your happiness, as that Tornado was quite devastating. Oh, yes, and speaking of that, The Gryffindor girls will stay in the main dungeon, Hufflepuff girls in the left main dungeon, and Hufflepuff boys in the right main dungeon." Dumbledore paused, and then continued, "Now, you may continue to your dinner." As the people clapped, Hermione glanced at Harry. The damn idiot was still glaring at her. As the clapping died down, Hermione tried to talk to him. " Harry, stop glaring at me!" Harry merely looked away, but she could tell he was still giving her looks out of the corner of his eye. " Okay, Harry. Me, you, convo. Now!!!" Hermione said, grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the Great Hall, leaving Ron staring at them.
" Okay, Harry, why the hell were you glaring at me?" Hermione, outraged, asked as they walked over to the wall near the large marble staircase. " You know damn well why." Harry said, the look on his face burning into her memory. It was the first time he had looked at her like that. His eyes filled with hurt, love, anger, hatred, and most of all, jealousy. Hermione backed into the wall. " I know why, but you don't have to look at me like that Harry…" Hermione trailed off. Harry moved closer to her, and soon had her pinned against the wall. " Harry…" Hermione tried to say, But Harry's fingers pressed against her lips. When he pulled them away, Hermione said, " I love him." She said it quietly, carefully, and caringly. " Dammit, this isn't about him." Harry whispered a deadly whisper. Although he knew it was about 'him'. Hermione tried to look away, but Harry placed a hand on her far cheek and forced her to look at him. He leaned in and kissed her. Hermione pulled away, but he forced another kiss. Tears streamed her face, as he tried to kiss her again. But it was no use, she was helpless, she couldn't reach her wand. " What the Hell!!!!! Potter what the fu-" "Draco!" Hermione yelped, thankful. Draco had distracted Harry long enough for her to get away. She ran into Draco's arms, buried her face in his chest, and cried. " Potter…" Draco growled. Harry stood there, looking horribly angry. Draco stroked Hermione hair, " Hermione, are you okay?" He asked silently. She looked up into Draco's storm eyes. He could see hurt, pain and shock, from what potter had done. But then he saw past that, and saw the love and care for him. " Are you okay?" He asked again. She slightly nodded, and buried her face in his chest again, crying.
After Hermione got it all out, and let go of Draco. They turned to Harry. He was still just standing there. " Potter……please enlighten me, by telling me exactly what you did to Hermione." Harry stood enjoying the silence he created, then spoke, " Nothing much…" " Potter, what the hell did you do to her?" Draco turned to Hermione, " What did he do to you?" Hermione's face was streaked by tears again. " Please, Hermione, tell me…" "H-he kissed me… he forced me…" Draco was outraged. He slowly walked towards Harry. " Well, Potter, I bet you won't do it again." Draco raised his fist, and punched Harry. Hermione turned and gasped. Harry's forehead was bleeding. " Draco… please…" Hermione pleaded. Draco didn't want to upset her, but he was pissed, and I mean pissed! Instead of hitting Potter again, he slammed his fist into the wall, leaving a large bruise on his hand. He shook it, " Dammit!" He turned, grabbed Hermione's hand and took her to the Charms corridor.
" Draco…" Hermione whimpered, " Where are we going?" " You'll see." Draco was still mad at Potter. He lead her to end of the charms corridor. He took her hands in his, and squeezed them slightly, " Do you trust me?" He asked. " Of course." She smiled, pondering why he asked that. " Well, don't be afraid…" He took a step back, and walked through he wall, and he pulled Hermione with him.
Hermione smiled at him. " That was…quite interesting. I never knew it was there before." Draco smiled at her. " Well, which room shall we go?" He asked, and showed her each room. She gazed intently upon each room, and finally decided, " Let's go to the 'glass room'" Draco smiled and opened the door for her. As she entered, Draco put his arms around her waist from behind. " You like?" He whispered. " Uh-huh!" Hermione whispered. She felt that if she talked too loudly, the glass would shatter. Draco walked to the couch, and motioned for her to lay down with him. As he took her in his arms again, he told her, " This is were I was the night of the twister." Hermione smiled. " I never would have imagined this was here." " So you're saying that I'm smarter?" Draco asked, teasingly. Hermione giggled, " No. No one is smarter than I, one day, all shall bow down to me!" Draco smiled. He loved it when she played around like that.
It was late when Hermione and Draco said their goodbyes. She still had the bag, with her costume. As she made her way into the main dungeons, she thought to herself, ' Now I really CAN be Draco's princess…'. She thought about what all had happened the past few days. The tornado, Harry calling her Mudblood, shopping for the costume, sitting under the stars with Draco, Harry forcefully kissing her, and lastly, the secret rooms in the charms corridor. She sighed deeply, finding her sleeping bag beside Lavender and Parvati. As she climbed in, she heard a voice. " Cam, I told you not to come down here!" "Alex. You know this is SOOOO serious!" Or at lest she THOUGHT she heard them. One she knew. It was Camryn Barnes, a fellow Gryffindor. The other one Hermione had no clue who it was. She kept listening in on the convo. " So what's up now? You broke a nail," the other voice asked sarcastically. " No! Well actually I did, you see we were playing volleyball and-" "Cam! Shut it! What's up?" " Oh! Yah! Well, I heard that Hermione's going to the ball with Malfoy!" " Oh really now? Well, I'll just see about that… I know of one person who could break them up, even though he's already tried." " Uh, Alex. I feel like someone's listening." Cam said. " Well then, who is it? Only we can read each other's mind." The other voice said and Hermione gasped. She was listening in on a telepathic conversation. ' What the heck?!' Hermione thought. " Huh? Who was that? Alex, I don't think we're the only ones." Cam's voice echoed through Hermione's head. " I don't think so either." The other girl, her name was Alex. Hermione had seen her before, but hadn't paid attention, as Alex was, as one would call, an Outcast. 'O my god….. I can read minds???' Hermione thought silently, as Cam and Alex stopped their conversation.
