A/N: people keep telling me this is similar to other stories and yet I
haven't read any other stories like this one.. so you know what they say-
great minds think alike!.. by the way I am working on chapter nine right
now, but I don't have time to post because I write it like in a notebook
and I have a lot of homework *bloody homework happy teachers*
Disclaimer- Hm.. I'm at a loss for a witty disclaimer
Last time on Diet Cola:
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"
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.
Chapter Four- Relief
Hermione woke the next morning and went over the events that had occurred in her mind.
She got out of bed and looked at the illuminated number of her clock that read- 7:16
She walked through the redwood dory to the bathroom and took a hot shower. She felt much better afterwards. She walked into her room and slowly dresses.
When she was clad in uniform, black robes and black makeup she picked up her back and notebook and walked out of her room at the same moment as Draco Malfoy.
"Hey Hermione" he said smiling softly.
She smiled a little and walked across the common room to him and hugged him. He was a bit taken aback by this but he hugged her anyways.
He was about three inches taller than her, and he bent down a little, and kissed her on the head. She pulled back a little and looked at him. She smiled "thank you do much Draco" she said
Her leaned towards her smiled and said "you're welcome Hermione" and he kissed her on the lips. She kissed back a little and smiled. He felt her sweet smile against his face. She pulled back a little from him but his arms still hung around her waist.
She said "we have to go the breakfast" and she winked a little. She picked up her back and dropped things and she walked down the stairs, Draco trailing behind her as they exited the portrait. They walked to the Great Hall. Harry and Ron spotted Hermione and quickly ran over to her. Draco saw them coming and whispered, "don't think they care to see me eh?" and he walked another way to the prefects table. He kept his eyes on her.
Harry and Ron walked up to her and the first thing Ron said was "What the hell was Malfoy doin? Tryin to shag you eh?"
"Malfoy can shag who ever he bloody wants."
Harry said, "never mind that, I need your potions homework Hermione. PLEASE."
"No Harry" she said
"PLEASE DAMMIT WOMAN" he said trying to grab her bag, causing her to drop her things on the floor- her notebook spilling open, to just the page she didn't want them to see. Harry went to pick it up and something caught his eyes. His eyes went wide and he yelled "IT WAS YOU! IT WAS YOU GRANGER! HOW COULD YOU???" he stopped yelling, "you bloody took away my damned chance to avenge my parents. HOW COULD YOU?"
Ron looked at Harry "what?"
"Shes the bitch that did it Ron, she killed him."
"WHAT" Ron yelled. And again everyone looked.
"C'mon Ron, leave the stupid bitch alone."
Tears were now streaming down her face and she said "you ungrateful BASTARDS" sobs chocking her words. She ran out of the hall, and didn't know where to go.
Draco saw everything. He looked around, and got up. He followed her out of the hall and looked around.
He saw her sitting on the floor in a corner, pulling a steady razor across her wrist again and again.
He ran over to her and sat down in front of her.
He tried to take it from her but she wouldn't let go.
"Hermione...Hermione, no Hun, don't cry, don't let them do this to you."
Across her wrist were 4 lines of beaded blood and her hand holding the razor began to shake.
Draco wrapped his hand around hers and took it from her.
"Give it back" she said to him coldly. He put it back in her band and she squeezed it tightly, tears still spilling out of her eyes.
"Please Hermione, don't do this, please"
She abided and slipped the razor into her bag along with her book. The tears would not stop streaming down her face.
Draco put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Come 'ere, come 'ere, don't cry"
She continued to sob hugging him, nearly sitting in his lap, and all he could do was comfort her as much as possible.
In between sobs, she began to speak.
"Its not my bloody fault! He was there and he was the fucking dark lord."
"What the fuck was I supposed to do?"
"Oh Mr. Voldemort, please wait there a minute until the wonderful Harry Potter gets here to fucking avenge his parents."
She cried in hysterics for a few more moments and her crying slowly ceased.
Draco finally understood why she had been so distant. She pulled away a little and sniffed.
"Thanks" she said softly looking at the ground.
He nodded and hugged her. She sniffed a little again and said "we...we have potions first don't we?"
He nodded and said, "which would be about now" He stood and helped her get up.
He gave her a hug and they walked to the dungeons. They took a table in the back together.
"Draco, why are you bothering with me? I mean don't you have other friends you'd much rather be with. You really don't have to pity me. I mean what about Pansy?"
"I don't talk to those people anymore. They're shit, like my past, Hermione." He said a little stiffly
"You..you've started calling me....Hermione, why?"
"That's your name innit?"
He looked at her. She was so beautiful. He wanted to wrap his arms around her and protect her from the entire world.
Just then Snape walked into the room and the rest of the class followed.
Harry and Ron walked by their table and muttered, "bitch" at Hermione. Draco's fist tightened and his jaw clenched. He wanted to hurt them. He wanted to beat them to a fucking bloody pulp. They were hurting someone who didn't deserve it.
After turning in essays, losing 20 Gryffindor points, and 25 Slytherin points, and a simple sleeping draught, class concluded and thus came Potter's detention, for a month.
[A/N: HAHAHAHAHAHA]
Hermione and Draco walked out of potions and said "did you see those looks Pansy threw at you and me?" she smirked and then her face when serious "DRACO!" he looked at her at the near yell of his name.
"Yes...?"
"Well since Harry and Ron hate me I don't have to help them with their damned HOMEWORK! YES!" she exclaimed and did a twirl in the hall.
A/N: soo.. What do you think?
