Chapter 14:
Pansy's eyes flashed with fire before turning cold with ice. Her hand gripped her wand so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Before even she could think she spoke a dark spell and flicked her wand in Hermoine's direction.
Draco noticed pansy's intentions a moment to late. The spell had already been cast. He watched helplessly as it got closer to hitting its target. A spell popped into his head, but what it was and what it could do was unknown to him. He bent down swiftly and gripped his wand tightly.
Hermione saw Draco bend down again and grab his wand, and for some reason she felt as though she was in danger and that he was trying to warn her. But she quickly cast that thought aside as she found herself melt just by looking at his movements. They were swift and delicate and made her want him to kiss her again.
Ron and Harry felt like racing over and pushing Hermione out of the way before the spell could hit there best friend, but instead they were both held by a tight body-bind which was placed on them by Crabbe and Goyle. Flustration and disgust was planted on their faces and all they could think about was Hermione. They were about to call out but were both cut off by a familiar voice.
Draco motioned his wand and called out the spell that had been planted into his mind. 'Exmontylay.' (a/n made it up, don't hate me!) The spell flew with great valance and tackled against pansy's one. Unfortunately for Draco both spells flew his way instantaneously and he was unable to prevent himself from receiving the powerful hit.
Hermione fell to her knees and covered her ears. The painfilled cry was loud and intense; it shook her body completely and made her head spin. It suddenly stoped and she dreaded the worst. 'Draco.' She said quietly under her breath.
'Draco,' Pansy squealed but found herself stuck on the spot from fear and disbelief. She turned her head to Hermione and glared daggers at the Griffindor. 'Next time Mudblood, next time.' She snarled but only so she could hear.
He slowly positioned himself into a sitting placement. He wiped the perspiration from his forehead and slowly, but steadily, made his way into a standing position. His eyes were vacant and distant. With one step at a time he gradually made his way across the field and towards the Slytherin common room.
Ron's eyes followed Draco's form for a while longer before he turned his head and vaguely witnessed the crowd and their expressions. Each and every person stood there wide-eyed, all but one whose tears and sobs was heartbreaking. After finding out that the tight body bind was off, Ron gently placed his hand on Hermione's shoulder and was glad when she turned and embraced him gently. Her shoulders shivered and shook as she cried and lent deeply into the warm holding.
'It will be alright Mione.' Ron said gently as he rubbed her back. 'You'll see.'
Hermione looked up at the statement and looked deeply in his eyes. They shined like the sun and his red, flaming hair had turned deeper and darker over the six years she had known him. His shape was tall, toned and lean. She smiled sweetly as she remembered all the fights she had had with Ron since first year and how ironic it was that she was now in a tight embrace with him.
'You look absolutely beautiful Mione.' Ron whispered in her ear. 'You have been beautiful since first year.' He lowered his head and tilted it slightly waiting for his lips to be covered by hers. But the sensation never came and instead Hermione just whispered in his ear back. 'I love you as a friend, A best friend, I don't want to change that.'
Ron squeezed Hermione delicately before letting her go. 'Then I shall the greatest best friend,' He plastered on a fake smile. 'And any decision you make is probably the right one. You're smart and beautiful and don't forget I'm here for you if you need me.'
Hermione smiled and kissed him on the cheek lightly before running after the Draco. 'Thankyou Ron.' She said quickly.
Pansy and the Slytherins made no motion into moving to class. All stood as if they had been struck by lightning or glued to the spot. Harry and Ron just left and made there way back to class.
'Where was Hermione going?' Harry asked Ron knowing all to well where she went too and whom she went after.
'She went after Malfoy.' Ron stated back. His head was lowered in defeat.
'Are you alright with that?'
'I suppose I'll have to be, but who ever said that I can't win her back,' A cheeky grin spread across his face and his eyes brightened up. 'I will just have to get her to realise that she's the one for me and not that git Malfoy.' He laughed and pounded his fist playfully against his other palm. 'I'll do what ever it takes, I'll show Malfoy not to take her away from me. us.'
Harry suppressed a grin before turning and walking steadily back to class. 'Watch yourself Hermione, you have no idea what you're in for.' He muttered under his breath kind-heartedly.
~~
Perspiration dripped from his forehead as he made his was towards the Slytherin common-room. He clutched his side and made a soft, vertiginous moan as pain ripped throughout his body. His ears caught the sound of soft footsteps and robes brushing against the cold, stony ground coming that were towards him.
'Draco'. Hermione pleaded as she desperately tried to catch up to him. 'Draco wait.' To her discomfort Draco turned to face her with piecing, cold eyes that seemed to freeze her soul.
A minute went passed and no movement was made until Draco turned and began to walk, once again, away from her. He was stopped quickly when a soft, delicate hand cupped his cheek and turned it to the right. His face brushed against hers quickly before taking his own hand and grabbing the soft delicate one. 'Like to be the dominant one do we Granger?' he spat. A small smirk crept onto his face as Hermione stepped back in fear. He still had her hand in his and he squeezed his gently. 'Who would have guessed? Granger has the hots for me.'
'You wish Malfoy.' She replied one hand on her hips as the other one was being occupied by his hand.
Her eyes longed and pleaded for another kiss and he knew this. He bought her hand up and placed it around his neck and then in one swift movement his pressed his lips against hers and became swarmed in the passionate kiss. He felt her go limp so he held her waist to support her.
The kiss held passion that she never thought possible. Hermione's knees buckled under her and she felt strong arms support her into position. Suddenly the strong arms let go and she collapsed to the ground. 'Hey,' She said breathlessly. She looked up and found Draco to be shaking violently. Panic surged throughout her body and she quickly stood up and held him tightly. 'Are you alright? What is this?' She said still holding to comforting him. 'You need to go to the hospital.' she was cut off when Draco placed his index finger on her lips.
'No.' He said painfully. His arms encircled around her as his body trembled madly. They were embraced for what seemed like hours but in reality were only minutes. His trembling subsided soon after and he now found himself leaning into the tight embrace. 'Thankyou,' He said and released her gently. 'I think you better go to class.' He moved around the corner and spoke the word to the portrait and entered the Slytherin common room.
The door shut behind him and he flopped onto a verdant couch. His chest ached and he quickly removed his robes, which revealed his bare chest. A yellowy, purple bruise had formed around his upper rib. He touched it mildly and his body tensed as he felt a slight amount of pain form around that area. 'Hermione what are you doing to me?' He muttered shaking his head side to side. And thinking about the kiss and the way he had been acting.
'That's what I'm here to find out Draco.' A voice spat from behind him.
~~
Well. this is a confusing chappie... Wasn't it? (hehe) Well I suppose the love is formed. but of corse Draco wont be all romantic all the time, but I had to make them kiss in this chapter and I had to make Hermione see (at one stage) that Draco shakes, so I decided this chapter would be the one where all this happened.. soz if this chapter makes you feel that this story is turning for the worse, but I'll make it p to you in the next two chapter. yes lucius is coming up. WHO HOO!
