Chapter 10
There are just too many
Times that people
Have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
And I protect you out of courtesy
Hermione was laying face down into her pillows crying her eyes out. She couldn't believe Harry had done that. Of course she should have expected it, but she hadn't! She acted as though it hadn't bothered her so it would get to him. She just couldn't believe him! The fucking little bastard he was! Harry Fucking Potter... Dumped the smartest witch of their generation, for a muggle! Who knew nothing of his world! What are they gonna do if they have kids? 'Oh Taylor dear, I forgot to mention, I'm half wizard, so that means our children are quarter magic. Is that alright with you?' Hermione laughed, she could just see the day.
There was a tapping noise on the window; it was Jade with the response from Mrs. Weasley and Ginny.
Dear Hermione,
We truly regret not being able to have you over,
Harry is bringing a 'surprise' he said he was stopping
by their first so we're sure you have already seen
or heard about it you lucky little thing! We should
arrange to have lunch sometime next week, will you
still have time off from work? This is Ginny now
'Mione. I heard about your parents from mum, she said
it might have been why you were owling us. So, how
is everything over there in Scotland? I've always
wanted to visit... I ought to apparate some weekend
and we can have a girl's night out! Oh! What is this I've
heard about you being engaged to Malfoy? I figure its
just a hoax for Malfoy to get more publicity, I just
don't understand why he would use you! Please do
explain if I come over there soon for that girl's weekend!
Please reply and tell me what weekend you are free!
Mum wants to talk now! Oh Hermione! How are you
dear? Arthur told me about your betrothal to Draco...
How truly sorry I am, I do hope everything will be
alright... I didn't explain it to Ginny, I figure you
would like to yourself. Now please don't be mad at
Arthur, he went through files at the ministry to make
sure nothing like this was to happen, the day he
found it was in the newspaper and he figured you
must have already known about it for it to be there.
The Malfoys were never ones to keep things very
quiet! Well, I must go, I hear Harry knocking at
the door! Please do come visit us, and when Ginny
visits again take pictures! I would love to have
keepsakes of the two of you girls together!.
Love,
Ginny and Molly Weasley!
P.S. Do take time off from work! What Arthur said in his last letter was quite true!
And I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've
Held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Hermione smiled, she would write back to both of them. She would love to spend time with Ginny again, she also wanted a few pictures of them together, preferably the muggle kind, wizarding pictures gave her a headache, but there were spells to change them back and forth! If only Collin Creevy had known that... Poor chap used a dangerous potion his very first time trying to make them move, almost blew his head off, good ole' Madam Pomfrey fixed him right up though. Hermione thought about her Hogwarts days... remembering when Ron sacrificed himself on the chessboard while they were trying to save the precious stone. (A/n I can't remember how to spell the fricken name... and my books are nowhere to be found... they ran off with a pair of 3 year old legs...) The time she was petrified by the basilisk. 'Oh my Gods!! If I was truly pureblood why did the basilisk get to me?! Oh my... should I ask Mr. Weasley or Malfoy... Malfoy should know... he's like the God of all dark things...' Thoughts raced through her mind, she wondered if she really was a Verona or not, she doubted Dumbledore even, not even sure if they got the right girl! A stern yet gentle voice come out of nowhere and snapped Hermione out of her daydream of thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?"
She recognized the voice without even turning around. "Get out of my house Malfoy."
"Why, is that anyway to treat your guests?"
"Your not a guest, you're an intruder, now get out!"
"No, there is something I should show you."
"There is nothing I want to see that you could ever show me."
Too many
Things that you've said about me
When I'm not around
You think having the upper hand
Means you've got to keep putting me down
But I've had too many stand-offs with you
"I beg to differ."
"Don't beg Malfoy, it doesn't suite you."
"Arguing doesn't suite you."
"It seems too, it's all I do with you. Thankfully."
"It makes your face contort, it makes you look too cute. Makes me want to kiss you, too bad I won't ever do that."
It's just about as much as I can stand
Just wait until the upper hand
Is mine
"Why not Malfoy? I'm not a Mudblood any longer. It's safe to kiss me." Hermione drawled on in a low voice.
"I don't care... well I do care... just... never mind! What's wrong with you? You were crying, I ought to know, seeing as how you will be Mrs. Malfoy in just a few months!" Draco smirked at her, knowing that would get to her.
So many people like me
Put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think
To just say what we feel inside
"Malfoy! Get out! Just because you comfort me once and talk to me doesn't mean you are allowed in on my personal life!"
"Is it something about Potter?"
"H-how did you know?" she stuttered her eyes filling with tears again. She couldn't take just a simple thought of Harry with another woman besides herself, let alone letting it happen for years behind her back!
So many people like me
Walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want
Is to feel like I'm not stepped on
There are so many things you say
That make me feel like you've crossed the line
"I have my ways. So what is it? He pregnant with that Weasel's baby?"
"No! JUST GET OUT MALFOY!!" Hermione screamed, he was hitting a nerve and he knew it. She didn't want to allow him to do this to her. She didn't like it one bit. The man who she hated for several years, comes into her life, and expects her to act like she has been buddy-buddy with him since she was a child. How could he?
"Ohh... looks like I pushed something there let me try harder. Oh! Does it have something to do with the nasty muggle Taylor James?"
"Well, now that you have figured my entire life story out, why don't you try figuring out how to get out of my house!"
"I think there is something you need to see Granger... You may want me afterwards."
"For some reason... I highly doubt it."
What goes up will surely fall
And I'm counting down the time
'Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you
It's about as much as I can stand
So I'm waiting until the upper hand
Is mine
"Come here."
"What?" Hermione said with a confused look on her face. What would he want with her? She didn't know... it could be anything... this is Draco Malfoy we are talking about. 'Sex God of Slytherin.'
"I know you don't have a hearing problem, now please come over here."
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
The next you're not
Missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won.
Draco said it so softly and the fact that he said please was enough to make her trust him enough so that she could sit next to him. He had taken the liberty of sitting on her bed and making himself comfortable. "Will you trust me to do something?"
"Depends on what it is?"
"Will you trust me to alter your memory to remember?"
"Remember what?"
And then its all gone.
"Us, the days we used to play for hours together."
"Why would I want to remember that?"
"Because, its what made me come here, its what made me love you Hermione Verona."
"You don't love me Draco, whatever we had when we were younger was just a puppy love, and there is no way it could ever true love."
"You will know that it was true love once you see, I promise you."
"Fine... just get it over with, I want you out of my house as soon as its done though!"
"That works, I doubt you will want me too after you remember though..."
"I doubt that..."
"Wait! First... I want to show you something."
"Dra-" Was all Hermione got out.
I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us
But you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating
Up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
