Eyes Like Silver Orbs: Chapter 3

She awoke about two hours later. Madam Pomfrey was standing over her wearing a grim look.

"This boy refuses to leave until he has talked with you!" She practically yelled. Hermione sat up, then gasped. Draco Malfoy stood in the doorway, with a genuine smile. The difference in the features of his face was astounding. Hermione thought that he looked too perfect to be real. He seemed untouchable and he glowed with compassion.

He walked over to her with a single yellow tulip in his hand.

"It's beautiful." She sighed.

"I know," he replied "Hermione, I want to apologize for doing what I did last night. I know I went the wrong way with things and I want to make it up to you. Things went horribly wrong…erm…obviously.

Hermione goggled at him.

"No need," She breathed. "Although I would enjoy it if you stayed here and kept me company. It's quite lonely, you know."

Draco looked perplexed but accepted anyways. They chatted for nearly four hours; nearly into the night. Talking sometimes of themselves, sometimes of eachother, and sometimes of nothing at all. Hermione could not recall anytime she had felt so safe and comfortable. Not even with Harry and Ron. Draco could not remember anytime where he was as happy.

"Hermione," He suddenly whispered. "Would you like to join me in the Slytherin Common Room? I could give you the password."

She hesitated a moment, and then answered,

"Of course I would." With that response, Draco leapt in the air.

"Okay, but don't tell anyone that you are coming. We'd be in so much trouble. The password is 'Phantom.' Come tomorrow around 2:00, I'll be waiting."

Hermione laughed at his excitement,

"Don't worry, I'll be there" She winked at him. "You better leave now, it's after midnight."

He gave her a kiss on the cheek and then rushed out. Before Hermione fell asleep, she wondered where Madam Pomfrey was all this time.

A/n: Well, there's the third chapter. We aren't going to post another chapter until we get some reviews peoples! Constructive criticism is always okay! Just review! Sorry that they are so short. They'll hopefully be longer soon!
