Well, I didn't see all those reviews coming. Jeez. Well, don't worry I'm not going to change it into Harry/Hermione. Sorry for those of you who think so, the only person who picked up on quite a few of the hints is Madame Zu Zu, but loads of people managed to guess bits of my plot. But wait to see what happens. Thanks for all your reviews, I'm glad loads of people said they'd carry on reading. Oh, and Yamy, I think it was really unfair for you to say what you did I wasn't making her a whore she has known Harry since she was 11! And, no she didn't have any second thoughts because she was caught up in the moment. You can read the story when you want to, but I'm really hurt by what you said. Okay, this will always be Dr/Hr, because that's what it says it is and I don't want to lie. I just want to spice it up, because life isn't always perfect.
Hermione fell asleep on Harry's chest. She awoke an hour later when she felt she was being looked at. Harry was sat in the armchair by the fire staring at her. She opened her eyes, and suddenly they turned big and the brown started to quiver as tears welled up in her eyes.
"What have we done?" She murmured, she hugged her knees rocking back and forth.
Harry got up and walked over he passed her the negligee she was wearing. She put it over herself and Harry saw she was shaking, which was just what he did when he woke up.
"We made a mistake. We were both a bit shitted, we probably shouldn't have had too much wine at dinner."
"Oh stop making excuses Harry! Like fuck we had too much wine, no one else did that did they?" She glared at him, and he shook his head, "Correct. No one else did! So we can't blame it on that."
"No one has to know!" Harry said quietly,
"I love Draco." Hermione said, tears spilling down her face,
"I love Luna..."
"WHY?! ARGH!" She punched the cushioned bed head, "This was so stupid. So... Ugh. I'm so disgusted with myself."
"Don't be. Sometimes you just can't help it..." Harry paused, "We need to decide what to do together. Do you want Draco to know?" Harry asked, Hermione whimpered biting her bottom lip, she shook her head tentatively, "Well, that's good because I'd rather Luna not know."
"We'll just not mention it ever again." Hermione said shakily,
"Okay if that's what you want." Harry said his face was expressionless,
"It's nothing against you Harry. I love Draco." She shook her head, "You love Luna"
"I know." He said quietly, "It's just weird. It... it..."
"Felt so right?" Hermione asked,
"Yeah, at the time it felt so right." He looked over Hermione, "Now it feels as wrong as can be."
"I know. I need to go and... Think. Sort this shit into files." She looked at Harry, her big brown eyes red and sore,
"Okay. If you ever need to talk... I'm here." He stopped, "And please don't let this ruin stuff between us."
"I would never let it." Hermione said, stood by the door. She opened it still looking at Harry and with one last glance, shut it and crept back to her room.
She opened the door, and looked inside, on her bed Draco was sat.
"Hey." She said,
"Hey." He said quietly, "Where were you?" He asked as she made to sit beside him,
"With Harry." She said putting herself beside him. She was wrong to do what she did, his body felt so right beside hers.
"You've been crying."
"I know. It was kind of emotional talking about James and everything." Her toes were like blocks of ice so she got into bed,
"I'll leave you to sleep" He said, and got up, Hermione reached out and held his arm,
"Stay. Just be with me..." Hermione said quietly, "Just be here... With me." Nothing else needed to be said, Draco got in beside her and wrapped his arms around her cold body, oblivious to the incorrigible pain she felt from her guilt, and betrayal.
They fell asleep together like that.
Draco's eyes fluttered open. It was a grey day, and the sky looked heavy. He stared at Hermione as she slept. Her eyes were still a bit red, and they looked slightly purple were there were rings round her eyes from lack of sleep. Her lips looked red and full, her ringlets pilled across the pillow underneath her. Her arm was wrapped around Draco's body and he watched her like that for God knows how long, just watching the slow rise and fall of her chest as she inhaled and exhaled. He watched as her eyelids gently quivered as her chest rose. How her lips parted every now and again when she inhaled deeper. He looked at her rosy cheeks.
Eventually her eyes slowly opened, and Draco planted a kiss on her forehead. Hermione wrapped both her arms around Draco's warm body, and he wrapped his around hers. They lay like that, just looking each other for at least half an hour. Hermione nuzzled into his pale chest. Loving him beyond words. All the guilt seemed to make her love him even more.
The rest of the day passed slowly. It seemed to drag on, with Harry, Sirius and James spending most of their time in the living room talking, arguing and shouting at each other.
"NO! THIS ISN'T FUNNY" Harry bellowed, "ALL MY LIFE I HAD NO PARENTS STUCK WITH THE STUPID FUCKING DURSLEY'S WERE I WAS TREATED LIKE SHIT. THEN I HAD SIRIUS AND HE WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME AND NOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO TELL ME. TRYING TO GET ME TO ACCEPT IS THE FACT THAT YOU, DAD, WERE ALIVE ALL THE TIME AND YOU SIRIUS MADE ME FEEL GUILTY FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS OVER YOU'RE DEATH WHEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN DIE!"
"Calm down Harry" Sirius said,
"NO I WON'T! YOU.... HOW COULD YOU! I JSUT... ARGH! I DON'T GET HOW YOU COULD BE SO COLD!"
"IT WASN'T ABOUT BEING COLD!" Sirius shouted, "IF YOU LISTENED YOU'D UNDERSTAND IT WAS ABOUT TWO GROWN MEN MAKING MISTAKES AND TRYING TO PATCH THEM UP. BUT YOU'RE NOT LETTING US! ANYONE WOULD THINK YOU WANTED US DEAD!"
"OH FUCK RIGHT OFF SIRIUS. THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT." Harry stood up, "ALL I'VE EVER WISHED IS THAT I REMEMBERED SNAPE EARLIER, THAT I LOOKED AT THE MIRROR, THAT I HADN'T BEEN SO FOOLISH TO BELIEVE THAT DREAM, TO NOT ALWAYS ACT THE HERO OR HOWEVER PEOPLE PUT IT, I CALL IT BEING LOYAL BUT WHATEVER! ALL I EVER WISH IS THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN BORN!"
"Snape is obviously getting one up on you!" Sirius said,
"AT LEAST SNAPE WAS THERE WHEN I HAD TO FIGHT VOLDEMORT! AT LEAST HE WAS BACKING THE LIGHT SIDE HE WANS'T PRETENDING TO BE A FUCKING MUGGLE!"
"Harry. Sit down." James said calmly,
"Fine." He said furiously and threw himself down.
"Harry, it wasn't that we didn't love you. It wasn't that we didn't care. It was just me and Sirius being fools and messing up badly. Mainly it was me, I don't have an excuse, and Sirius does so if you want to take your anger out on someone let it be me."
"I don't want to take it out on anyone." He said quietly, "Sorry Sirius. I just.... I'm finding it hard to cope and I messed up last night and everything just got on top of me. And I'm so sorry I didn't mean to it just happened and we couldn't help it."
"Couldn't help what?" James asked concerned,
"If I tell you....."
"It won't be repeated" Sirius said,
"I still shouldn't tell you." Harry said, "I just need to get it off my chest,"
"Well do then." James said, "No-one is going to know you told me or Sirius.."
"Well... Alight." He paused, "Me and Luna have been having problems recently...."
"What do you mean by problems?" Sirius said, trying to look wise whilst stroking his chin, but doing a very bad job,
"General."
"Can you... Y'know not get it up?" Sirius asked jokingly,
"He's my son Padfoot, please stop insulting me!"
"No. Nothing like that." Harry said with a wonky smile, "Just generally we keep arguing and stuff like that. So we decided it best if we had a few days break. Not like anything Sirius just not sleeping together and stuff." Harry looked a bit red but carried on, "And anyway last night I was sat on my balcony thinking about you guys and Hermione came in. We chatted a while and I said about me and Luna and she said she understood. Then I was just giving her a hug and I mean we had a friendly kiss."
"Define friendly kiss?" James said grinning,
"Just a brush across the lips, we do it occasionally it's a comfort thing but this time it was different. There was this bolt of electricity and suddenly we were all over each other. My hands were all over the place and before I knew it so were hers and we just... Well everything happened so quickly, so passionately and it felt right at the time so.... I just nailed her." He said, "Afterwards we both felt so guilty and we said we'd never speak of it again to anyone, not even each other."
"Ahhh." Sirius said,
"That's a galleon for me Padfoot." James said, "Sorry Harry it's just we had a bet on, I said you and Hermione would get it together but would really regret it and he said you guys would get it together and end up a couple."
"Oh. Great." Harry said, "Thanks for the support." He said sarcastically, but not angrily he was just a bit peeved,
"No. We understand Harry. It's just it had to happen once, I mean otherwise you never learn. Now here's my advice, you regret it real bad don't you?"
"So bad." He said shaking his head,
"Then go find Luna. Do not tell her. Just tell her you love her. Tell her everything you feel for her. Why you like her personality. Why you like her looks. Then go do something romantic like have a bath together, or go on a nature walk or something." James said,
"It's the only way Harry, she has to know you care. But" Sirius said sternly, "Do not by any means do it too obviously in front of Hermione because it's just going to hurt her feelings."
"God, how do you know all this?" Harry asked,
"Experience. We were the marauders." James said,
"We had an abundance of girls clinging to our every word but that doesn't mean we hadn't had the odd few we loved." Sirius added,
"Talking about the marauders. What about Remus?" Harry asked the two men,
"Well Harry old chap, we are going have to reveal ourselves to him." James said,
"Soon. Moony was such a great pal." Sirius said,
"Indeed. I haven't seen Lupin in a good few months. I could do with seeing him soon." Harry said,
"Okay, well we'll talk more later Harry but I think we should make an appearance."
"Indeed." Harry said and got up and walked out, "I'm going to find Luna."
Well. Tell me what you think should happen. Should Draco/Luna find out? Should Hermione fall pregnant? I don't know what you guys think, but give me some suggestions and I'll take them on board. I already have plans, but I'd like to know what you guys are thinking.
Thank you guys so much for reviews,
