Part 12: pansy and a breakdown
Standing on the other side was none other then, the Slytherin tart, Pansy Parkinson.
"Ohhhh Draco my darling" she drawled while stepping thorough the portrait hole and into the room.
"Hello Pansy" Draco greeted her; he did not look that happy that she was there.
"My smoochie moochie baby! I feel so sorry for you" she exclaimed
"And why is that?" he asked?
"Because, silly, you have to spend all of this time with that," she said throwing Hermione a glare, "Mudblood Granger" she finished off
Hermione instinctively flinched at being called a mudblood; she turned to go into her room.
Draco Looked from Pansy to Hermione and back again; he wasn't going to have one of his friends be talked to like that.
"Look Pansy, I don't think you are particularly wanted here" he said looking at Hermione, "So I think it would be best if you'd leave"
"B..b..but Draco..." She trailed off, looking at both Hermione and Draco. She narrowed her eyes, "I see what's happening here!" she cried, "and if you think your leaving me for this Mudblood YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING DRACO MALFOY!!!" she screamed and then turned towards the portrait hole
"Pansy, we were Never together" he exclaimed
Pansy clenched her fists together, Well, well, well, looks like Granger has finally come to her senses and realised how hot MY Draco is, doesn't mean that she'll get him, he's MINE! She thought to herself.
Cocking her head towards them she spoke clearly and calmly "I wonder what scar face and his sidekick would do once they fine out that you, "she motioned towards Hermione, "are fraternizing with the enemy"
Hermione looked stunned, and Draco paled at the thought that Harry and Ron thought that he had hurt Hermione somehow,
"Look Pansy, There IS nothing going on between us, and what makes you think that they'll believe you over me? After all I AM their best friend" Hermione pointed out.
"Hmmm, well its my knowledge that you three haven't been QUITE as close as you used to. You never know, I COULD convince them, that you've changed that much as to do something like that" Pansy said with an evil look on her face.
Hermione was at a loss for words, was it THAT obvious that things between her and her friends weren't as good as they used to be? Maybe it was... Hermione felt tears forming in her eyes, but she wouldn't let Pansy see that she upset her.
Draco looked at Hermione and saw that she was on the edge of crying, but then he saw her cover up and look Pansy in the eye.
"You BITCH! You think that they would believe you? You have another thing coming if you do!" Hermione was screaming.
Pansy looked a bit scared and was slowly edging towards the exit.
"You have NO right to come into my room and say that to me!"
Pansy was right near the exit now.
"GET OUT! AND NEVER COME BACK!" Hermione screamed.
Pansy turned and ran out ov the portrait hole, it closing softly behind her.
As soon as Pansy had left, Hermione dropped to her knees and the tears she had held back were now coming back.
Draco who had been standing there the entire time, quite shocked saw Hermione fall, and he ran over.
Tears were streaming down her face and Hermione felt two strong arms surround her and she heard a voice whispering in her ear.
She was rocking back and forth with Draco hugging her. She was taking sharp breaths in and she couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Draco looked and the girl in his arms, She's an angel , he thought, at that moment he felt like he would do anything to stop her from crying, if she was ok then everything would be alright.
He hugged her closer thinking what on earth could of happened to make her lose it like that.
Hermione tilted her head to the side and through the tears she could see Draco holding on to her. She didn't want to move; she felt oddly sate in his arms.
Draco felt her move slightly and he could hear that she was calming down slightly. He started to move away.
Hermione felt him move away and held onto him. He looked at her surprised.
"Don't" she said looking at him.
He looked back, then got up, and carried her to the couch. "Alright" he answered.
They sat there on the couch in each other's arms.
Hermione felt like she never wanted to leave and Draco was thinking about how well she fitted in his arms.
Hermione was beginning to feel tired, and she couldn't stop her head from resting on Draco's shoulder as she closed her eyes.
Draco noticed this bout wasn't about to move; she didn't want that so he would stay.
He looked outside and it was pitch black, the stars and the moon the only light source. He pulled her closer to him and he closed his eyes
"Night Draco" he heard Hermione whisper.
"Night Hermione" he whispered back
And with that they fell asleep on the couch in each other's arms.
