Love Sick

Chapter Twenty

"Granger?"Hermione quickly turned around to face the person who had called her name and her eyes met the dark black eyes of Blaise. He stood there waiting for Hermione to reply and all she could do was stare at him.

"Granger?" He asked again and this time Hermione came back to reality.

"Ah..yea?" Hermione said quickly rubbing her neck. Blaise looked behind him and then turned back to stare at Hermione.

"Can we talk for a minute?" Blaise asked. Hermione nodded and gestured towards the seats she and Ron had earlier sat on. When they both sat down Blaise looked Hermione over once with so much concern in his eyes.

"What is it?" Hermione asked confused. What would Blaise possibly want from her? Blaise leaned back against the chair and stared at the tiled floors.

"It's..umm...you see its about Draco." Blaise stuttered. Hermione wondered why he was so hesitant, its not like she was going to knock him out or anything if he said Draco's name. But don't forget you gave him a slap, which might be why, a inner thought said.

"What about him?" She asked ignoring her inner thoughts.

"You and him have to work things out." Blaise said. Hermione glanced at the doors away from Blaise.

"What's up with everyone telling me to talk to him? You seem to be forgetting I'm the victim here." Hermione said calmly.

"I know, but he loves you. Can't you see that?" Blaise said. Hermione glared at him, his eyes had so much honesty in them.

"For someone who's in love he sure does fuck around." Hermione said annoyingly.

"So your going to hate him for the rest of your life because of that?!" Blaise said a bit irritated. Hermione gave him another glare as she narrowed her eyes.

"Slow your roll! I have every damn reason to hate him! You got some nerve to come here and tell me to talk to him." Hermione said angrily. Blaise got the message and got up to leave when he suddenly stopped and looked at Hermione.

"I started the bet, I dragged him into it. It's not his fault he fell in love with you." Blaise said and walked away quickly before Hermione had the chance to process what she heard.

Hermione watched Blaise leave as her mind replayed what he had said. Its not his fault he fell in love with you. Hermione couldn't believe that, her head and heart began to pound vigorously. She ran inside the room Harry was in, the only person who can make sense out of her situation. Harry was lying back staring at the cieling when she walked in.

"Harry?" Hermione asked looking at him. He looked down and smiled when he saw her as he sat up. He looked over at his wrapped leg and then at Hermione.

"Hey, thought you left me." He said. Hermione sat next to him on the small chair.

"No..of course I wouldn't. Ron went to tell the rest of the guys to continue practice." Hermione said as she stared down at cover ends of the bed. Harry grabbed her chin and studied her.

"That's not why you came..what's wrong?" Harry said worriedly. Hermione took a deep sigh, how was it he knew everything? For god's sakes he's a player himself. He never stays with a girl in a relationship longer then a month.

"Umm...Blaise and I talked." Hermione said quietly. Harry rose his eye brow as he dropped his hand from her chin.

"Really? Why?" He asked curiously.

"He wants me to umm..talk to Draco." Hermione answered.

"Oh..so its Draco now?" Harry asked. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Okay, well..he's right you know." Harry said changing the subject quickly.

"And so what the hell am I suppose to do?" Hermione asked.

"Come down, little one. You have so much to learn." Harry said jokingly. Hermione rolled her eyes again irritated.

"If you won't listen to me, listen to Zabini. He knows about love." Harry said. Hermione narrowed her eyes. Oh my god, he knows?!

"You know about him and Ginny don't you?" Hermione said quietly.

"Well, now I do." Harry said winking at her. Hermione put her hand to her mouth, oh shit!

"No, I'm kidding Hermione! I already knew. I found out. Saw them kissing near the broom shack." Harry said taking her hand away from her mouth.

"Does..does Ron--"

"No, he doesn't know a damn thing and when he does all hell will break loose!" Harry said jokingly.

"Your not going to tell him are you?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Tell me what?" Ron asked confused as he walked in. Hermione looked horrified and speechless. Harry had the same expression but recovered before she had.

"Tell you that I don't think I'll be able to get better for the game." Harry said quickly. Ron nodded his head.

"Umm..yea I was going to ask that." Ron said jokingly. Hermione had finally recovered and looked at Harry. Harry gestured her to go.

"Find him and talk to him, Hermione." Harry said as he turned away from her. Ron looked at both of them confused again.

"Who's him?" Ron asked. Harry waved it off.

"Don't worry, how was practice?" Harry asked. Hermione took that as a cue to leave her two best friends. Hermione ran out of the room quickly. How can I talk to him, should I? Can't I sleep on this? Urgh..Why me?!

Hermione screamed inside her head as she made her way outside. There was a light rain coming down upon her. Her hair began to get wet and stick to the sides of her face. But at that moment she didn't care that her body was becoming drenched all she could think about was the grey soft eyes, the well defined body and that lovable at the same time annoying smirk of Draco Malfoy.

As she struggled to walk on the lawn that was becoming very wet, she cursed herself for wearing heels. Half way between the Forbidden Forest and the school she heard someone call her name. Hermione turned around to find Draco running up to her, trying to cover the rain from his face by putting the hood of his robe above his head.

-------------------------------------------

Draco found Hermione after searching for her an hour ago. He suspected that she would go to the Hospital to get herself checked that day after all she was acting strange towards him. Her calmness when she woke him up was eerie as though she couldn't remember ever being mad at him. After he went to the Great Hall to eat that morning, he decided once and for all to talk things out with Hermione. Even if it meant she would end up being his past and nothing more.

But now seeing Hermione soaked wet lazily walking in the rain, it was time he needed some questions answered. "Hermione!" Draco yelled once more thinking she hadn't heard him the first time. Hermione walked over towards him slowly.

"What?" She asked squinting from the rain.

"I need to talk to you. It's important." Draco said calmly. Hermione nodded and hugged herself making the shirt tighter around her chest causing him to see the visible lines of her bra underneath.

"Can we head inside and talk about this?" He asked. Hermione shook her head.

"What do you want?" She asked a bit annoyed. Draco took a deep sigh, he might as well get it over with before he caught a cold.

"Us. Hermione, you and me. I want to know if you'll ever give me a second chance." Draco asked. Hermione looked down at her black heals then back up at him.

"I don't know if I can, Draco." Hermione said honestly.

"Do..do..never mind." Draco stuttered. Draco decided it was pointless to talk things out with her after all and began to leave but Hermione grabbed his arm before he can turn away.

"What?" Hermione asked. Draco hesitated for a second then looked into the deep chocolate brown eyes he adored so much.

"Do you love me?" Draco asked. Hermione let go of her hold on him. Her face looked like she was thinking, then she bit her lip to ensure she was definitely thinking.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Hermione replied back. Draco nodded.

"I don't know anymore." Hermione said looking down once again at her shoes.

"Is there anyway for you to ever love me again?" Draco said. He was now beginning to get cold jitters and wanted to go inside badly.

"Do you think three words would change what you did." Hermione said a bit astounded. Draco let go of his hood and embraced Hermione in his arms.

"Merlin! I said I was sorry. What do you want me to do?" Draco asked. Hermione didn't make a move, she didn't even say a word. Draco could feel her body tense. Am I holding her too tight? Draco loosened his grip on her and Hermione did something he didn't expect her to do. Hermione wrapped her arms around him and leaned in to kiss him. Hermione's wet lips brushed lightly against his. Draco had forgotten how good her lips felt, how good she tasted. Hermione's arms crawled slowly around his waist. She didn't move into the kiss but just stayed in that position, lips locked.

Draco lightly licked her lower and upper lip seeking for entrance, hesitantly Hermione obliged. Her tongue wasn't feverish as before but soft and gentle as though her tongue was forgiving Draco. The rain continued to pour down on them but he couldn't feel it, his whole body, mind and soul was into this one kiss the he didn't know would even come. Please, Hermione. Forgive me.

Slowly Hermione's lips disconnected the kiss and Draco watched her face a bit flustered like this morning in the bathroom. "We..we can't be Draco." Hermione whispered. Their face were very much close that he could see the sparkle in her eyes. Draco raised his wet hand and brushed the hair that fell across her cheek. He couldn't believe after a kiss like that she would still not want him.

"Your heart belongs to me." Draco whispered back. "I need you." Hermione's lips began to quiver, he could tell she was crying although he couldn't see it with all the rain drops hitting their face. Hermione's eyes looked down, away from him.

"No..look at me. Please don't shut me out like this. I care for you." Draco pleaded. Hermione stared into his eyes once more.

"How can we be when you have Pansy? Your going to get married Draco. How can I be apart of your life when it's already set for you." Hermione said as she let her arms drop from his waist but he still held her in his arms. Hermione's hand came around his and she slowly let his arms drop to his sides.

"If only there was a way." Hermione brushed his blond hair from his face and gave him one last lingering kiss. Then Hermione turned around and walked off as quick as her heels could carry her. Draco watched as her hips swayed and disappear into the entrance of the school. Draco wanted so badly to run after her but she was right. As much as he hated to remind himself, Pansy was his future, not her. What was he thinking?
