Chapter 13- Nowhere To Go

Hermione ran into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. She collapsed onto the plush carpet. She sat there for a moment to collect her self. She was breathing heavily. She couldn't believe what happened. It seemed that lately bad things were happening to her. Why was everyone out to get her? She stood up and looked in the mirror. Her face was red, but slowly going back to her regular shade. Her cheeks were tear stained with a mixture of black mascara. Hermione turned the tap for cold water. She stuck her hands under the running water and caught a bunch in the palm of her hands. When there was enough water she bent over the sink and through it onto her face to cool down. She added some hot water to get warm water. She flushed her face with water again. She reached behind her for the towel. She wiped her face dry and left the room. She didn't know where to go. She didn't exactly have anywhere to go. It was around 9:00 and getting dark. She was too tired to really do anything. Crying as much as she has can take a lot out of a person. The best thing for her to do right now was sleep.

Draco was still sitting on the couch. Just after Hermione left his mother came in the room once again.

"Where is Hermione?" Narcissa inquired.

"Upstairs, she just left." Draco replied.

"Oh okay, poor girl, who knows where she'll go now."

"What do you mean?"

"Well Draco, her parents recently got divorced. So she goes between parents. She is mostly with her mum though because her father gets pretty busy with his practice. Even though Emily was a dentist as well her hours were more flexible."

"That doesn't mean she still can't stay with her father."

"Yes, that's true. But if her father wont have her is the question."

"I'm sure he would. Do you think he knows about it?"

"Most likely Draco, he was probably one of the first people who were notified. Well darling I'm going to get some rest don't stay up to late." Narcissa leant down and kissed her son on the forehead.

"G'night mum"

Draco decided he would go and check up on Hermione. He was really beginning to feel sorry for everything. Even for what he'd done. He was thinking about all this as he walked up the stairs. He knocked on her door twice. There was no answer..."knock knock"...still no answer. Since there was no lock on the door he choose to open it. He turned the doorknob slowly and stuck his head in. It was pretty dark except for some moon light shinning through over by the window. He saw Hermione fast asleep in her bed. He didn't want to wake her so he slowly closed the door. Before the door completely shut he heard...Hermione mumble...

"Draco"

He quickly stuck his head back in. Did she know he was there? He brought his whole body in the room. He slowly walked over to her bed to see if she was indeed awake. She was asleep! So why was she saying his name? Just then she moved. Draco jumped back. Her eyes fluttered open. She starred into ice blue eyes. Draco didn't move. She slowly sat up in the bed.

Draco began "I'm sorry, I just came to make sure you were okay, and wellsigh to tell you...that...(he couldn't believe he was saying this to her face to face) I'm sorry for the plan and about your mum and everything."

Hermione stood up. "Thank you" Hermione moved closer and kissed Draco. Draco kissed her back wide-eyed. What was happening? He closed his eyes and continued to kiss her back. He didn't want to pull away he wanted to stay there. He couldn't explain it. He hated Granger didn't he? And she hated him after what he'd done to her and how mean he'd always been to her. She suddenly broke the kiss. He looked into her big brown eyes. Her face went a very bright shade of red.

She spoke up. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was doing. One minute I was asleep the next thing I know I'm standing here. Wait a second what are you doing in my room??"

"I came in to check on you and then I saw you were asleep so I was going to leave but then you said my name so I came back in. But since you were sleeping. Were you having a dream about me?" Draco asked with a smirk.

Hermione quickly avoided the last question. She actually was having a dream about him. "You cam in to check on me? Why the sudden interest?"

Draco signed once more before repeating himself "I'm sorry for everything, about your mum and for plotting against you with Pete." Saying it this time wasn't as hard because he's just done it even though she didn't hear it.

Hermione really didn't believe him all that much.

"You probably don't believe me but I truly am sorry."

"Fine, but I'm not letting my guard down again. So if this is some kind of trick again, it won't work"

"Its not. I'm over that now. It's getting late so I'm going to go now but we'll talk more tomorrow because you never answered me whether you were dreaming about me and why you kissed me."

Draco walked back over to the door and finally left. Hermione sat down on her bed. She couldn't believe his timing and that she actually talked in her sleep and of all things to say. But the mot shocking of all was that he apologized. Hermione couldn't keep her eyes open any longer so she lay back down and fell asleep.

It was bright and early the next morning when there was a loud knock. Hermione jumped at the noise. So got out of bed and opened the door. No one was at eye level; so she looked down to see a house elf "Ms. Granger you will be leaving along with Master Malfoy to the Jerardi's in hour hours time."

"Thank you"

Hermione shut the door and got dressed. She wore a pair of jean shorts with a white tank top and left her hair down. She went down stairs to find everyone sitting in the living room.

"You hungry darling?" Narcissa asked.

"A bit yes." Hermione answered her.

"Here have a muffin." There was one set out on a napkin.

Hermione smiled and took the blueberry muffin. The only seat that wasn't occupied was next to Draco. She sat down beside him and quietly ate her muffin.

"Watch the crumbs girl." A cold voice snapped.

This gave Hermione goose bumps.

No one really said anything. They weren't really a very talkative bunch they usually kept out of each other's business. This was very unlike Hermione's home. Her parents and her always talked together. Time seemed to pass by very slowly. Narcissa read the daily prophet while Lucius starred at Draco, and Draco starred at the floor. Finally a voice spoke up.

"Let us go."

They all left the house and got in the car. Even though the Jerardi's lived close enough to walk, Lucius wouldn't be caught walking. They pulled up tot the mansion in no time at all. They all got out of the car and headed for the front door where Mrs. Jerardi was eagerly awaiting them. They stepped inside to see Pete and Mr. Jerardi sitting in the living room. Lucius greeted both adults. He rarely paid much attention to children. Even though they were almost adults. Pete directed Hermione and Draco out to the patio. They all sat down around a table.

"How is everyone?" Pete asked first

"Pretty good" Hermione replied

"A little curious" Draco said.

Hermione felt her stomach drop.

"About what?" Pete questioned.

"Oh a little incident between Hermione and me last night."

Pete raised an eyebrow. He still didn't like Draco since what happened in the park. If he touched Hermione he would kill Draco instantly.

Draco began talking about what happened last night. Before he could get out the second word Hermione punched his arm.

"Owe." he said jokingly. It really didn't hurt.

Hermione shot him a playful evil glare and quickly changed the subject.

"So Pete, how's it going?"

Pete laughed and answered "Fine and yours?"

"Not so great, last night I found out my mother died."

Pete's face froze with shock. "What? How? When?"

Hermione's eyes began to water. A tear escaped her eye.

Draco began for her. "Her mother was coming home to surprise Hermione because she felt bad for leaving Hermione here for the summer. But unfortunately the plane she was returning home on crashed before it was able to land."

More tears rolled down Hermione's cheeks. Draco put his hand over hers, which was resting on her leg. Pete was sitting across the table so he couldn't see. It's a good thing to because Pete really did like Hermione and was a very jealous person. Hermione didn't move her hand she just looked and Draco. Who smiled at her. She soon stopped crying. After a minute or so Draco began to feel uncomfortable to he moved his hand. He wasn't used to being so nice and close to g.r-hermione. But as the day went on he saw that she wasn't really all that bad and that well maybe he liked her. But it was too soon to say such serious things. It hadn't been long since they argued. The day went by pretty fast Hermione was actually having a good time laughing and talking. Dinner was delicious and she hadn't had a day like this in awhile. She didn't want it to end. But all good things do come to an end sooner or later. Unfortunately in Hermione's case it was sooner. An hour after dinner the Malfoys and Hermione left. Pete hugged Hermione good-bye and as for Draco they didn't do so much as a handshake. A few glances and they were gone. Pete watched Hermione and Draco leave. As they were walking down the few steps to the stairs, Draco put his arm around Hermione's waist before she got into the car. Pete saw this and he became green with jealousy. Before Draco got into the car he turned around to Pete and gave him a smirk followed by a wink......
