Chapter 4: Hermione: Decisions
Hermione stared at Draco without much concern.
"Sod off, Malfoy! She heard Harry say but she and Draco remained connected at the eyes. There was a new mystery added to the shallow waters of Draco's eyes. She thought. He was staring at her strangely, like he was seeing her in a new light. Feeling very uncomfortable she tore her eyes away from his piercing glare.
"I said leave!" Harry yelled.
Draco turned and walked to the door without a word. At the door he turned his head and looked at Hermione once more. She glanced up and gave him a arm smile so unlike her mood and her feelings towards him. Stupid, stupid, stupid thing to do! She scolded herself. Something about him makes something in me happy! She thought.
Hermione shook her had and stared out the window. She had five minutes before she had to go to the Heads Compartment to give instructions to the prefects.
She sighed as she bid her friends goodbye. Walking lazily down the train to the compartment she had always wanted to sit in. She used to think it glowed. Now it was just a burden to have to arranger her day around the damn thing. Plastering a fake smile onto her pale face she slid the door open and stepped inside.
The eight prefects sat in a row, looking apprehensive. She nodded knowingly. One of these eight might be a Head Boy or Girl in two years.
"Is the Head Boy here?" she asked the fifth years.
"I'm here Granger!" said a voice from behind the compartment door. Instinctively Hermione twirled the ring on her finger. Surprised she saw Draco make the same vulnerable motion. Once again Draco's eyes bored into Hermione's. he was staring at her trying to see if she knew their parent's secret. She stared back equally hard trying to solve the new mystery in his beautiful grey eyes.
"As prefects you are to patrol the corridors at intervals. Give the passwords to the students. And show the first years where they are to sleep. The password for Gryffindor is: Fairy Lights. Hufflepuff: Herbology. Ravenclaw: Black Raven. And Slytherin: Serpent tongue. You are dismissed." Draco said not taking his eyes off Hermione once. An empty feeling that had been threatening to take over Hermione began to leek through as she stared at Draco.
Hermione suddenly felt numb. Like nothing could affect her. Like nothing in the world mattered. She tore her eyes away from Draco's wanting that feeling to go away. Hermione stayed standing still until the prefects left. Immediately after their departure Hermione sank into an empty seat.
"Do you know about our parents?"
Hermione looked up at her ceiling. Why would my mother want to be with Draco's father! She flicked her wand at her stereo and Ashlee Simpson blared the common room that she shared with Draco.
You can dress me up diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts
Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You can meet me on an aero-plane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boomerang
I'll come back and beat you up
Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wana la la, la la la la
"Can you turn that down? I'm trying to study!" Draco yelled coming down to the common room. Hermione turned to look at him with tears pouring down her cheeks. Concerned Draco turned the stereo down and sat on the couch near Hermione.
"I have to tell me dad, Draco! I mean if my mother and your father are... are... well then I can never tell you how much I like you!" Hermione clapped her hands to her mouth and made to run for her bedroom but Draco pulled her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid!" he whispered into her ear. As the first beat of Love Makes The World Go Round sounded from the speakers Draco leaned over and kissed Hermione. Hermione's heart began beating very fast as Draco wrapped her thigh around his back. He laid her on the couch and rubbed his hands up and down her side. She moaned knowing that she would give him whatever he wanted.
She ripped his shirt off over his head and raked her nails into his back. She wanted him so bad. Everything was ripped from her mind as she felt the ecstasy between her legs, her stomach, her mouth, her breasts.
"Do you wanna?" she moaned as he kissed her neck. Draco only grunted. She could see the sweat beading on his face as he kissed her. Draco then lifted his lips to meet hers and she tasted his sweat. The scent of him drove her wild and she began tugging at his pants. Draco stood up quickly and with the flick of his wand they were both naked. Draco climbed back onto Hermione and lifted one of her legs so that is was wrapped around his waist.
He slid himself into her with ease. Hermione arched her back to deepen the thrust.
Hermione woke up the next morning next to Draco. She smiled sweetly at the memory of the night before. She knew now that she had to tell her father and her mother and Draco's father. It was the only way that she would be okay with sleeping with Draco.
Hermione crept to her bedroom and sat down to write a letter to her father.
Daddy,
I don't know if this is the right thing to do but I feel that you need to know. Mom is having an affair with a man named Jimmy. Please don't allow this relationship to go on any longer. But Daddy promise me that you won't hit her or yell at her. Take her on a second honeymoon. Rekindle the magic that the two of you used to have. Make her fall back in love with you so that I can have the relationship that I want to have. If she continues to date Jimmy the love of my life will walk away from me and you guys will lose me forever.
So please Daddy! I await your owl giving me your word!
With Much Love
Hermione
Hermione walked to the owlery later that day to deliver her letter. She sat there watching the owl fly away into the sun. She watched it until it was only a tiny black speck in a field of yellow, pink, and orange. She sighed and walked back to her common room hoping for another night like her last
