Chapter Seven: The Way Things Have To Be
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione curiously turned around and walked cautiously to the classroom door. "Who is it?" she called lightly. Just then a dazzling blonde head poked from behind the door.
"It's me, I thought that it would be better to talk in here then out where people might get suspicious," answered Draco as Hermione walked in. Draco bent down and lightly grazed the top of Hermione's lips with his own. But before Draco could deepen the kiss Hermione pulled away.
"We need to talk Draco."
"Ok..." he said with slight apprehension in his voice.
"First, I am so so so sorry for the way that Harry, Ron, and Neville beat you up..."
"It's ok, what else do you expect from them? But did you tell them that I never really hated or liked them?"
"What? I thought you said that they were all 'kind'." said Hermione in a mocking voice.
"I did say that, but I have had more time to think it over. I don't like them, but I don't hate them. And I don't really want to be their friends because I find it annoying the way that they always feel the need to save the day."
"Ok, whatever, but I don't think that we should be together anymore, even though its only been like not even 24 hours yet. I think we should be friends first and nothing more then that. We barely know each other and then all of a sudden we are dating! It's not logical at all if you think about it" finished Hermione as she looked up at Draco trying to see what he felt by his face. But it was blank. They stood in silence for about a minute until Draco finally spoke.
"You know your right 'Mione, you always are, I don't really want to do this but if you really want to then fine, we can just be friends," said Draco with a dejected voice.
"I'm sorry, but this is the way it should be, and you know it Draco. Maybe later in the year we can try a relationship out."
"Yea, ok...well umm...I gotta get to breakfast...I'll see you later," Draco replied. He went to walk out the door, but Hermione caught his arm before he could go.
"Wha..." Draco tried to say but he was not able to finish his sentence because he was pulled into a rib cracking hug. "I am really sorry." Hermione whispered in his ear. Before she pulled away, she gave him a peck on the cheek and let him go.
Draco looked into her eyes once more before leaving.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After eating breakfast with Harry and Ron, and getting through Transfiguration and double Arithmancy. Hermione was exhausted and decided to skip lunch to go sit outside and relax under on of the trees by the lake.
"Aww come on 'Mione," whined Ron. "It's the first day back and you are already ditching us to read!"
"Ron, I am not ditching you, nor have I ever, I simply want to go and read! Why are you being to difficult?" said Hermione in a patient voice, acting as if she was talking to a five-year-old kid.
"I am not being difficult! You are! Can't you just stay for like five minutes? And besides! You need to eat something!" retorted Ron. Hermione then grabbed an apple, took a bite and set it back on the table
"There! Are you happy now! I ate! Can I please go?!"
"That is not what I meant Hermione, and you know it!" shouted Ron. Hermione was about to shout back at Ron when an annoyed Harry stood up and screamed.
"Will you two shut up? All you ever do is fight fight fight! Ron let Hermione go outside if she wants! It is NONE of your business! And Hermione take the rest of the damned apple and eat it because you do need to eat! Now go if you want to so badly!" Hermione and Ron stared at him. Before anymore was said Hermione turned and walked quickly out of the Great Hall.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Hermione stepped out the entrance hall doors and onto the Hogwarts ground, she was immediately enveloped with warmth. It went through to her bones and seemed to warm her heart as she slowly walked down to the lake.
It was a beautiful day. The sun was warm and welcoming, the Forbidden Forest seemed to loose its mysterious air about it as the sun shined on it and the light breeze ruffled the trees as well as Hermione's hair. She made it to the one of the trees and settled herself there.
Hermione had just finished reading a chapter when she felt someone's eyes looking at her. She looked up to find Draco standing in front of her. She gave him smile as he sat down next to her.
"I see that you didn't listen to what Potter told you," drawled Draco.
She looked at him with questioning eyes. "What are you talking about?" she asked.
"He told you to eat that apple, but you didn't." Hermione looked at the forgotten apple that sat next to her. It now had a few little ants crawling on it.
She gave a little chuckle. "You are very observant Mr.Malfoy. But you did not come out here to talk about my apple."
"No I didn't. There are two reasons why I came out here. One, Potter was right, you do need to eat, it's the first day of class and I can tell that you are already stressed out." As he was saying this he handed her a small turkey hoagie with lettuce, hot peppers, American cheese, and a small bottle of pumpkin juice. She took it gratefully only now realizing that her stomach was growling.
"Thank you so much, that was kind of you," thanked Hermione as she bit into the delicious sandwich.
"And two, now its my turn to want to talk."
"Ok...about what?" questioned Hermione.
"About us, I really want to get to know you more, A lot more. I know that we'll be doing that in the Room of Requirement when we meet there, but that won't be often enough. Is there possibly another day that we could get together and just talk?"
"Of course we can do that, and don't look so shy Draco it's just me!" said Hermione lightly. "So let me think here. Ok I have got it! How about for the rest of the month we come out here and eat our lunch together? That would be fun, and when it gets to cold we could eat in another classroom or in the Room of Requirement.!" exclaimed Hermione very proud of herself.
"Ok sure that sounds great. And I'll bring the food 'Mione, don't worry about bringing that. But I have to go and get my books for my next classes, I'll see you in Potions." said Draco.
"Ok...see you later." They both stood up and hugged, and Hermione once again pecked him on the cheek 'His skin is so soft' Hermione thought as she did this. 'Her lips are so soft, I could stay like this forever' thought Draco at the same time. Before Hermione pulled out of the hug she whispered something in his ear.
"Thanks for understanding that this is the way that things have to be..."
"Your welcome, and thanks for giving me more time to see you"
They pulled apart and they both made their way back to their dorms to get their Potion books.
* * * * * * * * * OK hope you liked this chapter. Ohh and I forgot to say that in future chapters there will be MAJOR spoilers (ex: like who dies!) so now you all know! Ok well you know what to do! REVIEW!!!!
