Chapter Three- The truth behind the tough face
Hermione opened her room door to find a rather plain room. She put her stuff down, retrieved her wand and began her interior decorating. She covered the ceiling with posters of her favorite bands and made the floor and walks black marble and the sheets, and curtains black too. The furniture and doors were a dark redwood, which accented the room.
She was now satisfied with her room. She opened her door to the bathroom and looked around. The floors were tile and there were lots of plush mats on the floor. She charmed half the robes and towels black. All the counter tops and the tub and stuff were all a cream marble. She kind of liked it even though it wasn't black.
She walked back through her room and took her notebook off of her bed and walked out to the common room to see Draco sitting in one of the plush, squishy armchairs. She sat down on the other and stared into the burning embers. There was something so intoxicating, so entrancing about the flames.
She shook her head coming out of the trance. Draco looked at her and raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. Hermione began writing in her notebook and stopped just moments after starting. Draco was looking at her as though she was bloody insane.
"What Malfoy?" she asked looking at him with a bit of fury in her eyes.
"Hermione, can you tell me, what the hell is wrong?"
"Oh everything" she replied as though it was obvious.
He stood up, walked over to her, got down on his knees in front of her chair and said "Hermione please. You are REALLY freaking me out. NO ONE has EVER succeeded in doing that before."
She looked at him, tears again flowing down her face. She fell forward on to him, hugging him and sitting on his lap and bawling. She cried onto his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her and she continued to weep and all he could do is hug her, knowing that she needed someone there for her right now. Draco put a hand on the small of her back and on hand on the back of her head, gently rubbing the back of her head. When her sobbing ceased he kissed her head and asked, "Are you ok?" she nodded slowly and then shook her head and again burst into hysterics. She again buried her head in his chest and bawled.
[a/n: can you tell I was running out of words for "cry"]
He knew that she was hurt underneath the tough front she put up. She needed someone there for her. She needed him.
When her bawling again ceased she pulled away a little and looked into his eyes and said "thank you Draco"
He genuinely smiled and said "you're welcome Hermione" she sniffed a little and realized how they were sitting.
Draco was sitting now, on the floor and she was sitting on his lap her back against his right arm.
"Draco, no one has ever done anything like that for me before."
"Really?" he asked in response "Really really" she said in reply.
She tried to stand but Draco instead kissed her cheek lightly and said "if you ever need me, I'll be her for you" she nodded and hugged him for his kindness. When she stood she asked "why are you doing this for me? I mean for the past 5 years you've treated me like, lower than shit"
He looked into her eyes and said, "because no one except you has ever succeeded in scaring the shit out of me like that. Because you needed a friend and good for nothing potty and weasel wouldn't give a damn. And because. well I never had a REAL reason to hate you."
She smiled and said "thank you" He hadn't seen her smile at all since he began talking to her today on the train. They both stood and Draco hugged Hermione.
Draco said, "I'm exhausted I think I'll go to bed" she nodded and said, "I agree"
They walked their separate ways and Hermione suddenly felt so much better than she had that morning. So relieved.
"Thank you Draco Malfoy," she whispered under her breath.
A/N: its short because the next two chapters are LONGGG and I didn't want to break up the parts that need to stay together. Ok so maybe the next two chapters aren't but you know short because I'm the author here. :D
