The Bitter End

Chapter 14: Crazy Feelings


Draco's PoV:

Draco waited patiently for Hermione could come through the portrait so he could tell her about what's he become. Then he heard the portrait move and his heartbeat rose rapidly. "Don't be so damn nervous," he thought. Once he saw her, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack. But she was with someone and he walked inside with her. "Fucking hell. Why did she bring Potter?" Draco thought furiously. While he was arguing with Potter, his anger intensified breaking the glass vase. He felt the darkness rising over him. But when Hermione left with Potter and he calmed down. He then thought about Potter's warning. 'I know what you've become, Malfoy.' Of course, how can he forget, this was Harry fucking Potter. He knew everything. He just hoped that Potter didn't tell anyone, especially Hermione. "Who the hell am I kidding, he told her. I know he did," he thought feeling his blood boil.

As Draco continued to contemplate, a soft knock was coming from the portrait.

"Who the heck is that?" Draco thought. "Probably Weasley followed them here, stupid git."

The knock continued and Draco readied himself with his wand just incase. Once he opened he pointed his wand at the visitor.

"So you're going to hex me huh?" Alexa said standing in the hall. "What took you so long?"

"I didn't know it was you, sorry about that. And how did you know I was here?" Draco asked looking at Alexa.

"I followed Potter and the Mudblood here," Alexa sighed. "So are you going to let me in or are you going to keep me out here?"

"No, you can come in," Draco continued to look at her. "Why was she following Hermione?" he thought.

"You're sharing with the enemy," Alexa chuckled. "I have an idea for you. One day while she's sleeping just visit her and punish her for what she really is."

Draco sat down and began to rub his temples. "I'll make sure to remember that."

"Please do," Alexa said and then sat next to him.

Draco was beginning to hate how Alexa treated Hermione so he decided to change the subject.

"So how was it in Durmstrang?" Draco asked.

"It was okay," said Alexa. "I like it here more though."

"Do you?" said Draco asked now relieved not having to hear anymore about Hermione.

"Yeah," said Alexa. "No one was really friends there. I mean it was work, work, work. But here you can actually get some rest. And I've already made a new best friend."

"Well I'm glad you like it," said Draco. "Looks like I'm that friend," Draco thought glumly.

"Draco," Alexa started. "Did you want to become a Death Eater?"

Draco heard a gasp that sounded like it was around the curtain. His stomach sunk deeply. "She's here," he thought.

"Did you hear something?" Alexa asked looking over her shoulder.

"No," Draco said bluntly hoping he didn't sound worried due to the new hidden visitor. He watched Alexa continue to search the room. "The question! Answer the question!!" his mind screamed. "And to answer your question. Yes and no."

"I can't just be yes and no Draco," said Alexa. "You have to pick one or the other."

"Why do you have to be so damn difficult," Draco thought. His gut wanted him to say the truth, but he couldn't trust Alexa. He didn't want to. So he lied. "Yes."

"Why?" Alexa asked.

"Power," said Draco honestly. "I want to be very powerful."

"How powerful?" Alexa asked.

"Do you want to know everything?" Draco thought angrily. "I want to be able to be more powerful that the Dark Lord himself," Draco said almost reveling the real reason why he wanted to be a Death Eater. "I not only want to be more stronger. I want to kill him," Draco thought.

Alexa sighed. "That would be interesting."

"It most definitely would," Draco sighed at the thought. "Why did you want to do this?"

"I cherish the Dark Lord," said Alexa. "To have such control over people I think is amazing. I also want to battle against Potter."

"Now I really can't trust her," he thought.

"Don't we all," said Draco and Alexa chuckled.

"What does Granger do?" Alexa asked and the room went silent again.

"Can't she talk about anything else? Why does it always come back to Hermione?" Draco thought.

"Granger," Draco started. How was he going to finish this? He couldn't blow his cover his feelings. So he tried his best to lie. "Granger is a meddlesome person. She can really get on someone's nerve at times."

"You've got to know more than that," Alexa didn't sound pleased by his answer.

"Gods, please help me," Draco thought.

"Granger and I," Draco started to talk but Hermione cut him off.

"Oh so now you're talking about me," Hermione said angrily.

"Thank goodness," Draco sighed with relief. Hermione however, didn't sound happy at all.

"Oh hi Alexa," Hermione said venomously. "Having a nice chat?"

"Hello and in fact I was Granger," Alexa said with just as much fierceness in her voice.

"Good, well it's kind of late. Shouldn't you be getting ready for bed just about now?" Hermione snapped.

"I feel just fine," Alexa said coolly.

"I'm glad you do," Hermione growled. "But I must persist that you leave."

Draco loved watching this catfight but he had to make a point. He didn't want to be suspicious so he reacted how Hermione earlier.

"Granger," Draco said. "She is my guest and she can leave whenever she wants to."

"No, it's ok Draco," Alexa said getting up. "If the Mudblood wants me out, I'll get out."

"Okay, bye," Draco thought furiously. "I and only I can call her that!"

"My name's Hermione," Hermione grunted.

"Yeah, whatever," Alexa said walking over to Draco.

Draco watched as alexa walked over to him. "What's she doing?" he thought.

"Thanks for the good talk." Alexa said then kissed Draco on the lips.

Draco was shocked at how Alexa kissed him in front of Hermione. He was also shocked at how the kiss felt so strong. He actually liked it. But then Hermione popped back into his mind. "I'm so fucked now," Draco thought.

"Bye Draco," Alexa said sweetly. Alexa then walked by Hermione. "Muddy," Alexa spat out and walked out of the common room.

"Who does she think she is?" Hermione said darkly.

"You don't mind when I say it," Draco smirked, feeling a little happy at how Hermione reacted towards Alexa for saying Mudblood.

"What are you smirking about?" Hermione snapped. "I heard everything."

Draco's eyes widened. "She was there!" Draco thought.

"Hermione, I was going to tell you." He said honestly.

"Yeah, but Harry beat you with that information," Hermione growled. "He told me everything as soon as I came back. I didn't believe it. I didn't want to, but hearing come out from your own mouth disgusts me."

"I knew it. Potter never keeps his mouth shut." Draco thought angrily.

"Did you hear when Alexa asked me if I wanted to be a Death Eater?" Draco said sitting down on the chair next to the fireplace hoping Hermione would listen to what he had to say.

"Yeah? So?" said Hermione.

"So the real answer is no," Draco said quietly letting the truth out. "I thought I wanted to be a Death Eater. There's your key word thought. I realized I don't want to be, but...I meant it about the power."

"Draco how can I believe you? For all I know you could be lying to me right now," Hermione sighed deeply. "Let me see it."

"Let you see what?" Draco asked disappointed that she didn't believe him.

"The Dark Mark, I want to see it right here right now," Hermione commanded.

"If you say so," Draco thought and raised the sleeve to his robe exposing the Mark. Hermione gasped and stared at his arm. She then reached out for it and touched it softly. Draco felt the heat rise in him when Hermione touched him. He wanted her so bad now. She then touched a sensitive spot on the Mark and Draco winced. "It still hurts."

"I can't believe you. Why Draco? I have to go think," Hermione said and pushed past him starting to walk to her room.

"Hermione wait! Hermione!" Draco pleaded but she still kept walking. "Do it, you know you want to," His mind spoke to him. So he walked up to her and kissed her. Draco felt life come back into place. All the bad thoughts from the initiation left. He then realized it...he was in love with Hermione Granger.

All his feelings rushed through him until Hermione pushed him off. "I told you I have to go think," she said and walked to her room. Draco felt hurt. He wanted her, couldn't she read the signs. His anger was back.

"Why Hermione? Oh I see now your acting like your usual 'golden' self. Well go back to your perfect Potter. Go ahead," Draco said angrily.

Hermione then shook her head. "To think I fell in love with you. How the hell did that happen? Goodnight Draco," Hermione said walking into her room and slamming the door.

Draco stared at Hermione's door. "Did she just tell me that she loved me? Maybe this 'game' isn't so bad after all." Draco slowly walked into his room. He then lied down on his bed.

Draco thought about how Hermione sounded when she said those words. She sounded hurt but had a feeling that she meant it. "I can't believe that she loves me," Draco thought to himself. Then a smile, a true smile came onto his features. He began to think about everything about Hermione. "I must be going crazy," he said to himself as he felt his growing arousal. "Silencio," Draco said and pointed to the door silencing himself while he took care of his 'problem.'

Hermione sat on her bed feeling miserable. Draco was a Death Eater. She heard and seen it with her own eyes. Apparently Alexa was a Death Eater also. Draco claimed he didn't really want to be a Death Eater. But could she believe him? She then thought of when Alexa kissed him. "That should've been me," Hermione whispered to herself. She then changed into her nightgown and lied down on her big soft bed. Her big brown eyes stared at the dark ceiling as though looking for answers. "Gods, I love him so much," she whispered feeling tears fall from her eyes. "I believe you Draco," she said softly as though he were right next to her. She felt her heart break once again. And this was for believing him. Did he love her? She didn't know. Was he telling the truth? She didn't know. She didn't know anything. She then made a mental note. "The weekend we should be free. I'll make sure to find out then," she thought. She then wiped the tears from her eyes and closed them. Once closed everything came back into sight. Alexa, Draco, Draco's Mark, Harry, Dumbledore, Voldemort. Hermione then fell into an uneasy sleep dreaming about both, the good and the bad.
