Chapter Three
Disclaimer: I do not own the property of HP.
Summary: Hermione finally figures out who her mysterious runner is and it's not who she expects.
Draco Malfoy
The expression on her face was absolutely priceless. She looked shocked, scared, and even beautiful all at the same time. That last bit threw me off.
"What the hell do you think you're doing," she hissed, her hands on her hips. She had stopped running, since the second she saw me and stood standing before me.
I tried to think of what to say with her beauty surrounding me, and I was at a lost for words.
"Malfoy, are you just going to keep staring at me like that?"
"Um. . .," I said finally coming to my senses. "It's none of your business mudblood what I do." I knew that was lame, but I couldn't help myself.
I watched her face fall and smirked. But really I wanted to comfort her, tell her everything there was to know about me.
"Oh be quiet Malfoy," she said her voice small but loud. "I don't care what you do or what you say. And the next time I run, do not disturb me. I like to be out here by myself." She started jogging back inside Hogwarts, and I just stood there staring at her back.
A small voice at the back of my head, said to go follow the girl. And this time, I listened to that voice. Then I started to run, gaining full speed. When I reached the castle I slipped inside, glad I had my wand with me.
Hermione Granger
Inside of Hogwarts, I felt myself grow weak and tired. My heart was beating fast, thumping madly against my chest. That was the first time anybody ever saw me running, not that I'm positive. Now that I'm older than I started running back in first year, I didn't know this spell that made you invisible from far away. But I only started using it in third year. Plenty of people could of seen me before then.
I moaned in agony, feeling my mouth contort into a grimace. Then I started to walk back to the Gryffindor common room.
Draco Malfoy
I entered Hogwarts, just as Granger started going up the stairs. I didn't react until she was on her fourth step.
"Granger," I whispered, hoping my voice would carry towards her. She looked back, a face filled with disgust stared back at me.
"I'm sorry," I begin walking towards her.
She just stands there looking at me, her eyes big and wide. She shuffles her feet, her hand reaching inside her coat.
"Don't. It's okay. I won't hurt you." Now I'm on the stairs with her. We're only just a foot away.
"What do you want," she whispers into the empty room.
I grin at her though the dark. I suddenly realize how silly this seems. And I place her face in my hands, my heart bursting out with weird emotions gnawing in the inside of my stomach.
Hermione Granger
When Malfoy suddenly took my face and placed it in the palm of his hand, I felt warmth spread through my body and I liked it. I wasn't use to this feeling and I felt my cheeks grow warm. I was glad it was dark, so he couldn't see me.
"You know what I think," he whispered into my ear. I felt myself crumble before him. Why was he making this affect on me? Why not some other girl?
"I think you've been lonely for too long."
And suddenly his lips were on mine. They felt nice like that, and suddenly I felt alive and awake. Even better when I ran so late in the night.
Then he moved his mouth over my neck, planting soft kisses. His grey eyes were shut, his hands over my body. And I let him. It was so weird at that moment seeing my enemy, a.k.a my best friends' enemy kissing me.
Finally after a good minute or two minutes, I pushed him softly away, watching his eyes open surprised. I brought a finger of mine to my lips, glad they could finally move again. And then I mouthed the words 'I'm sorry.' I turned away from him and ran up the stairs, but I don't think he comprehended what I meant.
A/N: How was this chapter? I thought it was sweet, yet innocent. Thanks to all who reviewed so far. :)
