Chuck is a total habit thing, I do always seem to call you it though don't I? It's not bad it's like when people say chicken, son, dear or something like that at the end of a sentence.
Regrets Chapter 35
"Bye Harry, Luna, Ginny, Bla-AISE!" Hermione said as she was being pulled away by Draco. The group laughed, and Hermione was pulled into a carriage. She waved one last time but was cut off by Draco slamming the door with an exasperated face.
"Typical" Luna said, waving to the retreating carriages,
"Sometimes you'd think they'd make an awesome couple" Ginny paused, "And others, they seem so far apart, like they're in different worlds"
"They are sometimes" Blaise said, "I'm not saying we should let Voldemort separate us still but look at their upbringing! Hermione was like muggle- born princess and Draco pureblood prince"
"Look at you two though Blaise" Harry pointed out,
"No, but think about it, no offence Harry, but Ginny was always shrouded behind you, Hermione and Ron. I was always shrouded behind Pansy and Draco" Blaise said,
"Actually he does have a point Harry" Luna said,
"Yeah, I suppose" Harry sighed, "I just think they both could do with having someone at the moment"
"Yeah" Ginny said, "Yeah, they could"
"I mean, Draco acts as if he doesn't give a shit about his parents dying but honestly... He isn't heartless, he did care about Narcissa to some extent" Blaise said, "Now he's going back to Kent over Christmas. To spend Christmas on his own" Blaise shook his head, "Doesn't make sense"
"Why has Hermione gone?" Luna asked,
"I don't know" Ginny said,
"She changed so much over the summer, no one just changes for no reason at all" Blaise said,
"Yeah" Harry said looking at the pin head size carriages finally vanish from view, "You're right Blaise"
::In the carriage::
"Gonna miss it, huh?" Draco said smiling at Hermione,
"Yeah, if you need me during the holidays, owl okay?"
"I think that question should be the other way Hermione"
"Yeah, still" Hermione smiled, "Promise?"
"Only if you do"
"I promise then" Hermione said grinning,
"I promise too" Draco said, "Come here" He pulled Hermione into a hug, "We'll have two Christmases each. One at home and one together" He grinned at her, "Two for the price of one" He said this, though inside he felt bitter. She would get two, but what kind of Christmas is one with you, a dinner and some fucking house elves for company? They spent the rest of their carriage journey in silence. They soon reached Hogsmeade and they entered the train,
"Head carriage?" Draco asked,
"Why not?" Hermione said,
Hermione sat beside Draco and rested her head on her chin,
"I'll miss you Draco" She said and closed her eyes to go to sleep, she soon nodded off.
Draco spent most of the journey musing, and when the food came around he just shook his head and she walked away. They were already dressed in muggle clothes. Draco some black faded jeans and a black t-shirt. Hermione had on a black pinstriped mini skirt with buckles on it, a plain black t- shirt, some black fishnets and some transmuters with her usual black messenger bag. Soon the train was coming to a halt at Kings cross and he woke Hermione up and they got off the train together, Draco carrying both trunks.
They went through the barrier together, though now Hermione had her trunk on a trolley and was pushing it, along side Draco. They got through and Hermione looked over to the seats down the end of the platform, she had ten minutes to wait for Oaky as they had arranged. They went to the very end of the platform and Hermione took a seat by a grungy old man who took one look at her and walked off mumbling something about a 12inch tuna sub. Hermione looked at the chewing gum stamped into the floor distantly.
"I don't get a goodbye then? How come you're not getting a taxi?" Draco said, sitting down beside Hermione,
"Yeah sorry, I'm waiting to meet Oaky here" She said looking up at him but still not meeting his eyes,
"Still no goodbye?" Draco said pouting,
"Bye Draco" Hermione said weakly,
"I didn't mean like that" He said, "I meant like this" He brought his hand to the side of her face and kissed her on the lips tenderly, he pulled apart and looked into her eyes, using his well placed hand to stop her looking away. She looked at him and eventually smiled, she kissed him back. He licked her bottom lip, and nibbled the corners of her mouth gently, she moaned into his lips and he started to explore the insides of her mouth with his tongue. They heard some coughing but ignored it, Draco put his other hand up the back of her top, gently stroking her,
"Excuse me?" Someone said,
"WHAT?" Hermione turned around and shouted, "OAKY!" She said and jumped up and gave him a hug,
"I see someone has been making waves," He said looking at Draco, "Fine. Don't introduce me Hermione2 He said before she could say anything, "I'm Oaky" He smiled,
"Draco" Draco said extending a hand,
"Don't dilly dally around with that" Oaky said and gave him a hug, Draco looked surprised over Oaky's shoulder and Hermione looked at him apologetically.
"Are you getting a taxi then Drake?" Hermione asked,
"Yep" Draco replied,
"Come on then" Oaky said, "Where do you live?"
"Kent" Draco said nervously whilst pushing his trolley towards the exit, slightly worried about his masculinity around such a gay guy,
"I live in Blackheath" Oaky said,
"Uhm" Draco said, "Cool"
"TAXI!" Oaky said whilst skipping over to one of the many black cabs in the taxi bay, there was loads of cab drivers stood beside their cabs, Hermione and Draco followed Oaky.
Draco grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her into another kiss, they were soon back to where they were when Oaky interrupted,
"As much as I hate to interrupt" Hermione and Draco pulled apart, "Lovebirds, we have to depart"
"Have a good Christmas Draco"
"You too 'Mione"
"Kent" Draco said to his taxi driver, at the same time as Oaky said 'Blackheath'. The taxis sped off, in different directions.
It's not much, but I wanted to get it up to you because I'm about to go to a party and then I'm going out again on Friday night. I am totally ashamed to say I haven't checked this through at all.
Sorry. ::Sheepish grin::
Much loveP.C
