(Disclaimer) I do not own anything remotely related to Harry Potter…sad isn't it? All I own is…um…THE PLOT!! MWAHHHAHAHAA! Although, I'd love to see what people come up with for a fic by making Draco muggle born…hehehee…
A/N: Yay! A quicker update…although it still was really slow…sorry for the long wait again…I still love you reviewers! Anywho, onto the fic! YAY! Sorry it's not very long…
Last time on The Last Chance!…
ME: Draco got punched in the face!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
clears throat Anyway, what really happened…
The real..no I'm not kidding anymore…Last time on The Last Chance!…
"I'll tell you what's changed about me this year if you tell me what's really wrong." Draco said turning her chin back to face him.
They stared at one another for a moment until Draco dropped his hand.
Hermione nodded still looking deep into his eyes.
"I don't love Harry." Hermione blurted out.
Draco's face contorted into a look of confusion.
"What?" He asked hope filling his eyes.
Now on The Last Chance!…
"I don't love Harry…" Hermione repeated still staring into the gray depths of his eyes.
Draco just stared at her.
Hermione blushed slightly.
"I mean, I love him but I love him like my brother. I don't want to ruin our friendship but I…" Hermione stopped mid-sentence and stared shocked at Malfoy.
"What?" Draco asked worriedly.
"No, I can't…" Hermione said with worry…her face however showed a slight smile.
"Hermione we made a deal…" Draco said watching her stand up.
"I can't do this to Harry." Hermione said sadly as she turned to leave.
Draco stood up and grabbed her arm to turn her back around.
"Do what?" Draco asked her as he locked on to her gaze.
Hermione's mouth quivered as realization hit her.
"Love you." She thought to herself.
Draco still held her arm in a firm grip as he stared at her. He knew what the conflict was that was running through her head. He had the same problem but for some reason right at that moment, staring into her chocolate brown eyes, he didn't care.
Nothing mattered. Not his reputation, not her friends, nothing.
Hermione saw the look in his eyes.
The look of want.
She leaned closer glancing at his lips briefly before pressing her own against his.
Hermione was expecting a quick kiss at the most but Draco immediately ran his tongue over her lips.
She obliged and soon they had their arms around eachother in a close embrace.
Harry stood in the Astrology Tower looking up at the stars.
Now he had Hermione mad at him.
"All I wanted was for her to be happy. I just thought she'd be happy with me." Harry thought with a sigh.
"Even Ron would have been a better choice than Malfoy!" Harry thought with venom.
Harry got up quickly to take his mind off Hermione.
He left the Astrology Tower and headed back to the Gryffindor common room.
Draco and Hermione separated and just stared at eachother shocked.
"I can't believe you did that." Hermione said after regaining a steady heartbeat.
"Me?" Draco asked with a smile.
"I didn't know you had it in you Granger." Draco said with a smile as he sat back down on the wall.
Hermione smiled but blushed lightly.
Her smile left immediately and she sat down next to Draco.
"Why are you so nice to me?" She asked in all seriousness.
"I know it can't be just because you like me because you've been nice to me since the beginning of this year and we only got to know one another a few weeks ago." Hermione explained.
Draco frowned and stared at her for a few moments.
He nodded and opened his mouth to speak.
Harry was on his way back to the common room where he heard a noise around a corner.
He sighed not wanting to deal with anything other than the problems at hand but his curiosity got the best of him as he walked over to the dark corner.
The closer he got he knew it was someone crying.
"Um…are you alright?" Harry asked the shadows.
"Huh!" A voice gasped.
"Harry?" The voice asked.
Harry distinctly recognized the voice as Ginny Weasley.
Ginny crawled out of the shadows after wiping her face and stood up.
"Ginny, are you ok?" Harry asked glancing at the girl to make sure she was ok physically.
"I'm fine…" Ginny trailed off.
"You wanna talk about it?" Harry asked.
Ginny shook her head no.
"Please don't tell Ron, I don't want him to worry." Ginny whispered sadly.
"I won't tell Ron if you tell me what this is all about. I can't just tell Ron nothing's wrong if you don't tell me what's not to worry about." Harry said with a half smile.
Ginny's lower lip quivered.
"I can't tell you Harry. If you haven't figured it out yet then you'll never know." Ginny mumbled while looking into his eyes.
A look of hope shone through to the young wizard with the lightning shaped scar.
However, spending as much time as he did with Ron, his red headed friend seemed to be rubbing off on him.
Harry continued to stare at Ginny blankly.
Ginny shook her head.
"I'm sorry Harry." Ginny said after bowing her head down to hide the fresh tears forming.
"Sorry? For what?" Harry asked about to reach a hand out to his friend.
"I'm sorry you don't see it." Ginny said after lifting her head.
She ran down the corridor back to the Griffindor common room to try and escape the pain.
Draco sighed once more.
"You can tell me." Hermione said comfortingly.
"I know, it's just…" Draco trailed off.
"I made fun of you all those years and I never knew why." Draco began.
Hermione looked at him questioningly.
"My father hated 'mudbloods' more than anything in the world." Draco began with a hurtful laugh.
"I never saw it." Draco whispered as though he were still trying to sort his own problems out.
"It's so obvious now. The way they talked about mudbloods as though they were some sort of disease that could infect you from just being in their presence." Draco continued angrily.
Draco turned to Hermione.
"He never told me. I looked up to him and he never bothered to mention…hint…anything!" Draco yelled.
Hermione stared in shock curious as to what he was talking about.
"I never meant anything to him." Draco whispered.
Hermione didn't know what to say.
It's hard to comfort someone when you don't know what's going on or what's troubling them.
She looked up at Draco and put a hand on his shoulder.
"If you don't want to talk about it. It's ok." Hermione said hoping this would calm him down.
"No, don't you see? I've been dying to tell someone. You should know the truth. After all these years of teasing you, you have a right to be the first to know." Draco said taking her hand.
Hermione continued to stare at Draco as he sighed once more.
"Hermione, I was muggle born." Draco said with a frown.
"What?" Hermione asked shocked.
"My 'parents'." Draco began with venom.
"…told me mudbloods were horrible people so I'd never question where I came from." Draco said sadly.
Hermione stared blankly at Draco in complete shock.
"You…you're muggle born?" She finally asked.
Draco nodded sadly.
Hermione's eyes narrowed as she quickly stood up.
Draco stared at her confusedly as she looked down at him.
"So that's it?! That's why you've been so nice to me?! You just find out you're a 'mudblood' and figure…hey! Since I've been such an ASS for the past few years I might as well be nice to muggle borns because I just found out I am one!!" Hermione yelled angrily.
Draco stood up and stared at Hermione shocked.
"I thought you'd be the one to understand…" Draco began also getting angry.
"Oh I understand Malfoy…I understand perfectly! You couldn't get to know me before because I was a mudblood but now! Oh ho! The big bad Slytherin prince is muggle born as well! And you want sympathy?! I traded my friends to find out that secret and all you're saying is sorry I can't still be the ass I was before…"
Hermione was cut off.
"I didn't mean it like that…" Draco began angrily.
"Then what did you mean? It sounds perfectly clear to me!" Hermione yelled crossing her arms.
"Fine! Say what you want!" Draco said crossing his arms as well.
"I WILL!" Hermione yelled turning to walk away.
"You are a MUDBLOOD!" Draco yelled his anger getting the best of him.
Hermione turned back around and slapped him across the face.
She quickly stomped away while Draco stood there glaring at her disappearing figure.
