Hey everyone! In my other story, 'Prince and Princess Diaries' I suddenly got so many bad reviews. All because I e-mailed this girl. I deleteaded the story and I still get reviews for it. Well it doesn't matter what they say as long as my other readers like this story. Well, as you know I don't own this stuff so lets get to work.
Hermione arrived at her parent's house. Her father was outside getting the morning paper when she stepped out of the car.
"Hi darling. Where's Draco?" asked Simon, looking behind her.
"He's not here. Is Mum up yet, I have to speak with her." Said Hermione, her eyes and nose red from crying.
Simon nodded and followed his daughter inside. Daphnie was sitting on the couch sewing patches to a blanket. She was obviously making a quilt.
"Hermione sweetie what's wrong and where's Draco?" she asked, standing up.
Hermione broke down in tears again and Daphnie walked with her to her room and they closed the door.
"Alright sweetie tell me what's wrong." She said, resting her daughter's head on her shoulder.
"Well when I got off the train and Draco wasn't there I guess he was still sleeping or something. I took a cab home and when I walked in and checked his room..." stated Hermione, she had begun to cry again.
Daphnie waited for her to calm down before asking her to continue.
"Well this girl that was in his house, Slytherin, was lying in bed next to him as though they were together or something. And she didn't seem sorry at all. But why am I not surprised, she's always liked him." said Hermione, wiping her eyes.
"Well what did Draco do?"
"He told her to leave and he tried to stop me from leaving but I had to. It was all so depressing and I couldn't stay with someone who was going to be with someone else. I gave him his locket back and now he has to prove that he loves me. Then I'll take him back...Maybe." said Hermione.
"Well I don't blame you Hermione, but I'm sure you'll forgive him. Your father and I had a ton of fights before we got married and then before we had you we had a few fights. It's all in growing up. The more time you spend away from him the more you're going to realize how much he really means to you." Said Daphine.
"Ok, but until I actually feel this can I stay here. I'll be gone most of the day training more and studying. But right now I'm tired." Said Hermione, yawning and lying back.
"Of course sweetie. Stay here as long as you like. I'll come up later with something for you." Said Daphine covering Hermione up and closing the door.
Draco ran back inside when he finally calculated everything that had just happened. He had to find a way to get Hermione back. He took a shower, got dressed, ate a bite of toast and went to work. He stormed passed Lila and passed his boss and straight into his office. Pansy was about to come in when he locked the door.
He didn't feel like talking to her. It was practically her fault that the love of his life no longer wanted anything to do with him. He set straight to work on his new article about what the Minister of Magic was going to do about opening a magic movie theater.
(Knock, knock)
"Who is it?" asked Draco, typing.
"It's me, Pansy."
Draco used his wand to unlock the door, but continued to work.
"I'm really sorry Draco. I was going to leave sooner but I was just so tired. Please forgive me." Pleaded Pansy.
Draco didn't answer. Instead he was deadly silent; not a single sound was heard through the room except for their light breathing and the click of the keys on the keyboard.
"I'm really, really sorry. I know how much she meant to you, but believe me I didn't want that to happen." Said Pansy, walking closer to the desk.
Draco remained silent. His brow was furrowed in anger and concentration. It didn't look like he heard a word that she said. Pansy took a deep breath and walk back out of the room. His article was half done when lunch came. He was going to visit Hermione, try his hardest get her back.
(Knock, knock)
Hermione was watching TV scrunched in a ball on the couch with her dads sweats on, Simon was out that day with the twins fishing, and Daphnie was in the kitchen and running around cleaning the house. Hermione went to answer the door.
"Hi Hermione." Draco said, holding out a sunflower.
He must have made it from magic because it was so cold out there wasn't even grass. Hermione accepted the flower and allowed him inside.
"Hello Draco dear, so nice of you to drop by. Would you stay for lunch or no?" asked Daphnie.
"It depends on if Hermione wants me to stay." Draco said, looking at Hermione with questioning eyes.
"You can stay." Answered Hermione taking his coat and other stuff.
"Thanks."
Daphnie wanted them to have time to talk so she went upstairs to clean.
"Are you any better now?" asked Draco, sitting near her on the couch.
"Well if you mean have I stopped crying, that's a yes. And has my heart stopped hurting, that's a no. Draco how could you?" asked Hermione, folding her arms over her chest.
"It's not my fault, honest. Pansy came over for dinner with her daughter and I was too tired to drive them home so I said she could stay with me. I wouldn't let her sleep in your room and my room was big enough for the crib so I let her sleep with me. Nothing happened, I love you more than anything." Said Draco.
"That explains that part but, If I'm so important why did I have to take a cab to your house?" asked Hermione.
"Because I slept in. I had a really busy day and I was really sleepy. But I never forgot about you, I talked about all that day and I have two pictures of you on my desk. I'll show you tomorrow if you come by. Or if you went out with me or something. Please Hermione believe me." Draco pleaded.
Hermione kind of liked this being on the other side of this whole messed up heart thing. Instead of her pleading the guy was pleading. She thought over everything Draco said and decided to forgive him.
"I forgive you, but that doesn't mean that everything is back to normal. I'm still mad at you and I'm going to stay here for a while. That means, no kissing me, holding my hand or anything that we used to do until I'm completely sure about you. You broke my heart and that's going to take a while to repair." Said Hermione, smirking but still very serious.
Draco's features lit up with happiness. He would have kissed her but she said he wasn't allowed to do that anymore.
"So that means I have to start all over again with you? Going out on dates and getting to know you all over again?" asked Draco.
"That's right buddy. And right now you've just been dropped from ex-boyfriend to my gymnastics coach. We have training tomorrow afternoon when you get off work or ask for an early day. You can come back in now mum, I know you've been listening." Said Hermione, tying her hair up into a messy bun.
Daphnie came from around the corner and into the kitchen. That gift Draco had for Hermione was going to have to wait until after New Years. Daphnie served a kind of cheese and potato soup. Afterwards Draco had to head back to work.
"Bye Draco dear. Thank you so much for coming to see Hermione. You're really special to her and I can't stand to watch her so unhappy. She'll warm up to you again in a few days or knowing Hermione probably in a few weeks." Said Daphnie watching Draco leave.
Draco smiled popped back to work. Hermione ran upstairs to take a shower and get dressed. She and her mother were going shopping for Christmas presents and new winter clothes for Hermione.
When Draco got into work he stopped to talk to Lila, he was no longer in a bitter mood.
"You're feeling better now I hope? What was the cause for the bitterness this morning?" she asked.
"Well Hermione came home yesterday and something happened. We're not exactly going out anymore, I've been demoted from boyfriend, to ex-boyfriend and now I'm just plain coach that is the lowest I can get at this moment. But it's ok now sort of, she's forgiven me after I explained what happened." Said Draco.
"That's great. Keep it up." Said Lila as Draco began walking for the elevator.
Hermione and Daphnie went to the mall and did a lot of shopping, then they went to get their hair styled and their nails painted. So you could basically say it was a girls day. And with Hermione a lot more cheerful made the day a whole lot more fun.
"So 'Mione have you told your friends about this whole situation yet?" asked Daphnie taking a sip of her banana smoothie.
"No. I couldn't, Ron and Harry are super over protective. They told Draco that if he made me upset just once they'd kill him and I'd be even more upset if he died." Said Hermione.
Daphnie caught her words and smiled. Hermione might be mad at him now but she really, really loved him. She couldn't believe how much her little Hermione has grown up.
"Mum, why are you staring at me like that?" asked Hermione, raising one eyebrow.
"Um, nothing. Ready to go, we have to sort these things out and we've got to wrap some stuff." Said Daphnie.
Before they left Hermione remembered she forgot to buy something. She ran to a baby store and picked up a few things.
"Where were you all afternoon, or are you still upset with me?" asked Pansy, walking into his office.
"I'm not completely upset with you. But I can't really blame you for my mistake can I? Besides Hermione's forgiven me and that's all that matters." Said Draco, returning back to his work.
"You've got some messages on lines one and two." Said Pansy before going back to her small desk.
The first message was from Ron and Jill.
'Hey Draco, no one answered at your house so we called your office. Great job on your last two articles. Can't wait to read your next. We wanted to invite you and 'Mione over for Christmas dinner next week on Tuesday. You'll have the chance to meet family before the rehearsal dinner thing. Hope to see you guys soon. Tell Hermione we said Hi.' Said the two voices.
Next message was from his mother.
' Hi son! With Christmas next week you and Hermione will probably want time alone so come for an early Christmas dinner on Monday. Can't wait to see you both. Lots of Love.'
Draco smiled and shook his head lightly. He wrote both things in his planner and continued with work.
Mr. Granger didn't come home until late that night. The girls had everything wrapped and packed away. For dinner they just had some leftover soup from lunch with some steak and veggies.
"Are you feeling better Hermione dear?" asked Simon as both he and his wife tucked Hermione in.
"I'm a lot better. I'm meeting Draco tomorrow afternoon actually. Go to bed the both of you, I've got to get some sleep and so do you. Go on, you can leave me." Hermione said, smiling at her parents.
They nodded and before they left they both placed a kiss on her forehead.
