Disclaimer: I yet and still own nothing. Though one day in my dreams I know
I will.
Draco: notice she said "in her dreams."
Fireangel1589: you know what... (Picks up bat and smiles evilly) come here Draco.
Draco: uh. ( Backs up while shaking his head. )
Fireangel1589: come on. I won't bite. (I'll just break your neck.)
Chapter 10: The library and The Couch
Hermione sat in the library. She knew it was late but she couldn't help it. Books just called to her. Not to mention she was trying to get away from Draco. But something about being in the library at this time of night gave her the chills. She wasn't alone. There were a few 6th years there. Gramming in some last minute notes, and a couple of 2nd years. Snogging each other in the corner where they thought no one could see them. Hermione just sighed and rolled her eyes. Yet, she also sighed. She wanted to do that with Draco. She probably never would again. Too much at risk. She thought defensively. But god, if she could. "If only..." she said dreamily.
"If only what?" a voice said fro behind. It was Harry. She smiled. Then made a face. "What?" he said.
Hermione's POV
"What are you doing in the library?" I said. "You never go to the library. Are you on a dare or something?" he rolled his eyes at me.
"No its just Ginny got a load of homework from Snape and Ron's in detention so I'm here. Looking for you in most likely place you would be." he shrugged. "And it's no surprise that I was right. I snickered. "What is it now?" he said in a tone that reminded me of Draco.
I do my best to hold back a fit of laughter. He sounded just like Draco. He would hate if I told him that though, watching have a fit would be fun as well. So I gathered up my books and left the library with Harry.
As we walked down the hallway, back to the heads room. Harry was uncommonly quiet. "What's wrong with you Harry? Why you so quiet."
"Huh? ... Oh. Nuttin I just got a lot of things on my mind lately." he mumbled. I nudged him so he would look up, and he did.
"Harry what's a matter. You're usually not this pale unless he-who- shall-not-be-named. Is around or your having a dream." I said worriedly. He looked at me. Then looked down. "Harrrrrrry." I dragged out.
"Alright. A-alright." he said sounded like Draco again. I coughed to cover up a laugh. "I just don't understand why Ron so mad at me lately, and...." he was trailed off.
"Well I can take care of your first problem. You asked me to the spring ball, as you know." he nodded letting a small smile come through. "And it seems he would have a slight thing for me. Or at least that's what his note tells me." I said smirk. Harry's jaw dropped. My smirk grew to a smile.
"Really." he said. I nodded. "Oh...wow. I had no clue. He never mentioned it to me, or maybe he did and I was staring at Ginny. Hmmm. No clue, anyway." he said quickly. Now it was my turn for my jaw to drop.
"You have a thing for Ginny!" I nearly shouted. Harry looked around even paler than he was before. He nodded, but told me to quiet down. "Oh, wait a minute. I think I see what happened. You mention something about the spring ball to Ginny. About a certain girl, and she took it that you were talking about me?"
"Yeah actually that's basically exactly what had happened." he said stunned. "How did you know that?" he asked sounding completely weirded out. (A/n I always wanted to use that word.)
"I know Ginny. That's how I know that. And it is said that I am to be the one of the smartest witches in this era. So I'm pretty sure that I would be on to know. And seeing how that is true. I think your scared Ron would kick your arse if you dated Ginny. But you shouldn't worry about that because if Ron knows any better he won't lay hand or foot on you cause he'll be serving detention for a month with Professor Snape." I said.
"Oh. Yeah, I knew that." he said sheepishly. I rolled my eyes. "So... uh... you do realize that this means I will be asking Ginny instead of you right.... Unless you want to go..." I put a finger to his lips.
"Harry. Stop. You should go with Ginny. Especially if you want to and she wants to. And I'm pretty sure she does." I winked. He smiled and gathered me up into a warm hug, and kissed me on the cheek. We just stood there for a moment. A perfect moment. Then I gasped out, "Harry, I can't breathe." I squeaked. He immediately let go.
"Sorry. Guess sometimes I don't know my own strength," he said. Then turned to go. But turned back around. "Thank you, Hermione." he said and ran off towards the Gryffindor common room.
I just shook my head and said the password for my room and went inside. Wondering what I would do with Ron. I kept wondering that as I sat down on the couch to read my book in front of the fireplace. It may have been spring but it still got fairly cold in Hogwarts.
I guess I had gotten really into the book. It was on famous witches and wizards that had disappeared into the muggle society. I was finding this terribly interesting. I kept thinking how maybe one of these people was my real parents, and not Patricia and him. Oh I couldn't even stand say his name. So may things he had done wrong to me. I hated him for it, and swore upon my grandmother grave I would get him back.
"What are you reading?" Draco said from beside. I jumped slamming my book closed, and nearly dropping it.
"Draco... where the hell did you come from?!" I yelled. He shrank back. "Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. You just scared the shit of me."
"It's cool. I've just learned never to piss you off any father than I most likely already have. Though most guys would consider your punishment enjoyable. It's just I don't want you... fainting anymore." he said obviously changing his words. I just shook my head.
"Whatever." was all I let get out. Then scooping up my book with me I went up stairs to go to bed. Then suddenly stopped. I was scared to sleep alone in my own room. Maybe I could get Draco to stay up until he accidentally fell asleep. I knew it was dangerous and not the smartest thing to do. Seeing how Lucius could be watching at anytime. But I couldn't sleep alone again know that he could come after me at anytime. I may not have let anyone else know it but I was terrified to do that. I turned around and went over to sit down again. "Hey Draco, what's it like to...be rich." I said. I kinda wanted to know that anyway, and it made a pretty good conversation for a while. So I figured all would work out perfectly. Until he decided to ask me a question.
"Are you scared to sleep alone?" he asked out of the blue. I had been laying my head on his chest. He was one of my close friends. That Harry, Ron and no one else but Ginny knew about. I lifted my head up to look at him.
"Why do you ask?" I said trying to avoid an answer.
"Mione. Please... you haven't done this since that time you had those 3 cup of spiked punch, you 'claim' you didn't know about. And that was when we first started being friends." he said annoyed. That reminded me of Harry. I snickered. "What?" he asked. Reminded me of Harry. It was amazing how two people who hated each other so much sounded so much alike.
"Nothing... it's just... nothing." I said. Snickering again. I looked up to see him make that face that I honest to God could not resist. "Cheater." I grumbled. "It's just you sound like Harry does. I looked up at him again. His jaw dropped. Eyes full with fiery hatred. Damn! He really does hate Harry. I thought. "I'm sorry. But it's only at time you two sound alike. Not all the time though." she said quickly. He seemed to calm down slightly from this.
"It's fine. I just really can't stand potter," he said. Then went back that I was trying to avoid. "So... are you scared to sleep alone?" He asked yet again.
"Are there other forms of life out in the universe?" I asked. I looked up at him.
"Well, no one actually knows the answer to that answer Hermione." He said.
"Well, it's basically the same thing for your question." She said. Her eyes were now closed. And she was starting to drift slowly off to sleep.
Regular POV
"Huh... oh wait a second. Herm..." he started to say. But she was already asleep. He just ran his hand through her hair, and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Then laid there staring up at the wall. As he had done not long ago.
End chapter 10! Wow that was pretty good time. I know I used that before. But I kind of had to use it again. It's hard to explain. But at least I'm finished. Well it's not one of my best chapters I know. But hey the next one will be better. Review please. I hope you like it.
