The Bitter End

Chapter 10: So Cold

Draco's PoV:

Draco was finally relieved once he was in his own body. The hell he went through in Hermione's body. "Never again," he thought. While he was starting to like her charm another side of him didn't. She was much different than he expected her to be and he liked what he saw. But that other side didn't. It didn't trust her. It didn't trust anybody. It was filled with hate, nothing more or less than that. Then after they talked he stared at her. The way her skin glowed with the amber flames, she was beautiful. He couldn't control how he felt, but the next thing he knew they were kissing. Her skin was so soft and pure. She had innocence written all over her and he liked this. The way her hair smelled like apples, her scent entranced him. Hearing her moan when he asked for entrance aroused him. She liked what he was doing. He did too. Then that darker side came to him, causing him to stop the kiss. He saw her still standing there with her eyes closed as though she were cherishing the moment. He turned and left the common room. He walked out to the lake and sat on the soft grass feeling the night chill around his body. He stared into the lake. "What have I done?" he asked himself. "I kissed her...and I liked it," he said starting to feel angry. "How can I? I mean she's just Hermione, no Granger," he thought. Then he remembered about the kiss and felt himself get aroused again. This made him even more angry. The cold side was beckoning over him. The more he thought of her the more hate he felt. "It's got to end."


Hermione was almost screaming with joy. Hope was running through her blood. She might now have that chance to be with him. To make Draco hers. Then she saw Draco walk though the portrait.

"Umm, where did you go?" Hermione asked starting to blush.

"Why should it matter to you," Draco snapped and Hermione's blush faded immediately.

"What happened?" she asked walking over to him.

"This can't happen," Draco said pointing his finger towards Hermione and himself.

"What do you mean?" Hermione said frowning.

"I mean us, Granger," Draco said sternly. "We're not meant to be friends. We never were."

"You don't mean that," Hermione said feeling her heart break.

"I do and please let that thick head of yours understand it," said Draco.

"Why? That's all I want to know," Hermione said feeling her eyes water. "Why can't we be just friends?"

"Because I don't want to," Draco said coolly. "So snap out of that silly dream yours."

"Okay. It's like that then," Hermione said with her voice breaking. "So be it."

He then smirked and growled. "You'll always be a filthy Mudblood."

"And you'll always be a cold hearted bitch," Hermione snapped and started walking to her room.

"Sweet dreams, Granger," Draco growled.

Hermione heard his last comment and she wanted to make sure 'sweet dreams' were what he had. She turned around feeling all kinds of emotions surging through her body. She was heading straight towards him. Draco's eyes widened as he watched her get closer and closer. Hermione then extended her arm and grabbed Draco's head and placed a hard kiss on his lucious lips. He then moanded out load and their tongues faught together. Hermione then stopped the kiss and muttered "Sweet dreams, Draco."

Draco stood rooted to the spot. "Whoa," he thought. It was a hard kiss but he felt the power it had. He closed his eyes, "Don't even start to think about that," he grunted. He wanted to keep his mind off of that kiss and Hermione, the only way he could do that was to read. So he got a book and sat on the sofa and sighed.

Hermione couldn't believe what happened. One minute they're friends then next it's back to being enemy's. Why did he have a change of heart? Was it the kiss? Was she that bad? Then she remembered about his remark. 'You'll always be a filthy Mudblood.' Was this about her bloodline? Hermione's tears began to fall from her big brown eyes. She was heartbroken. Both hate and anger rushed through her. She was falling in love with him and she thought he felt the same way. Obviously she was wrong. Now she lost two friends. Ron and now Draco. She had to tell someone about who she liked. She couldn't hold it in any more. There was only one person she could count on and that person was Harry.

Hermione ran down the spiral staircase at full speed. The anger she held was now out. She spotted Draco sitting on the sofa reading a book looking as though nothing happened between them. She paused to look at him. Two things went through her mind. One, go to him, throw the book and snog him like silly. Two, hex him to death. Draco then looked up from his book and gave her a cold stare. She then scowled and walked out of the common room. She began to run through the cold dark corridors. "'Hocus Pocus'," she yelled rudely at the Fat Lady portrait who was angry with Hermione's attitude. When Hermione walked inside she spotted Harry doing his homework in his favorite chair by the fireplace. He then looked up at her and stopped writing.

"Hermione what's wrong?" Harry asked.

"Harry I have to tell you something," Hermione spoke quickly.

Hermione reveled everything to Harry. Her feelings, dreams and everything about Draco. Harry wasn't happy to hear this, especially when she told him about the kiss.

"I don't know 'Mione," Harry said doubtfully. "You're playing with fire and lots of it."

"I know. I can't help it though I mean, I hated him at first but now its different," Hermione said and then thought an idea.

"Harry are you willing to do me a favor?" Hermione asked.

"Sure." Said Harry.

"It's a big one. That's my warning," Hermione said cautiously.

"I'm willing to take the risk, I mean look who I have as my enemy," Harry said sarcastically.

"Don't joke about that Harry," Hermione snapped. "Anyway, would you be my boyfriend?"

"What!?" Harry exclaimed.

"Would you b-,"

"I heard you the first time," Harry said cutting Hermione off. "Why?"

"Revenge," was all Hermione replied.

"Revenge? For what? Malfoy or Ron?" Harry asked.

"Both," said Hermione.

"Okay," Harry sighed deeply. "If that's what you want."

"It is," said Hermione. "As of now you are my boyfriend."

"I knew it," said a male's voice. Ron then walked into the common room.

"Knew what?" Hermione asked feeling annoyed by his presence.

"That there was something between you two," Ron said pointing at her and Harry.

"What's wrong with that?" Hermione snapped.

"Nothing," he growled. He then walked up to her and Harry stood up.

"Don't worry Harry, I'm not going to hurt your precious," Ron said coolly. He then whipered in Hermione's ear. "This game is going to be much more interesting than I thought." He then turned around walked back up the staircase. "Night mates," he said then disappeared.

"What was that about?" Harry asked.

"Remember the favor," said Hermione.

"Yeah."

"It's part of a game that I'm playing," she sighed. "Looks like we really got to make this look real."

Harry looked at her but didn't say anything. "Well Harry, thanks for the talk and for helping me. I appreciate it," she said getting up and giving Harry a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight," she said leaving the common room.

"Goodnight," said Harry. "This is going to be one hell of a show," Harry thought.

While Hermione was walking back to her dormitory she smiled. This so called 'game' she was playing is hard to get. Ron started it by taunting her. She's playing it by having Harry as her boyfriend. It also helped her because of Draco. If he really liked her maybe he would show it by trying to win her love back. Like Harry said she was playing with fire. Hopefully she wouldn't get burned.
