Chapter 6: Tear Stains
Hermione's thoughts
Draco's thoughts
Hermione's POV
The cool breeze gently tickled my face and blown through my hair. How I love coming down to the lake. It always seems to calm me down. I was standing by the edge of the lake and was watching the sun set. As I watched the tantalizing view I felt someone's presence behind me. I didn't turn because before I could I felt that person's strong arms snake around my waist and hug me gently. I felt safe and at peace with that mystery person. We both watched the sunset. When the sun had set completely I turned around to found out who the mystery person was, but once I turned around no one was there in sight. It was as if I was alone the whole time. I turned my head back towards the lake but instead of seeing the lake the person who had embraced me was standing right in front of me with their back to me. But before I knew it the person had quickly turned around and put their hands on my shoulders. When I tried to look in the person's face I really couldn't figure out who it was. The person's hair was shadowing their face and it had gotten pretty dark then so I really couldn't spot what color hair that person had. Suddenly the person had said something but I really couldn't hear what they said. It was as if I was deaf because all I saw were that person's lips moving. Then the person started inching closer. I was glued to the spot. I panic but couldn't move. I knew what was going to come next but then ...........................................
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.................
" Arrgh........" Groaned Hermione.
Why is it that when the good or important parts in a dream are about to happen, I wake up.
Hermione's alarm clock was still beeping, so she turned it off. She saw that it was 7:30 and panicked.
Oh shit classes are going to start in an hour!
She then relaxed when she remembered that it was only Saturday.
Geez I can be so stupid at times!
She decided to get up anyways and prepare for the day. She got up from her bed and headed towards the bathroom. Once she walked through the door she closed it and walked across the huge bathroom and went straight towards Draco's room. She locked his door that led to the bathroom. I mean who wouldn't be careful. Hermione then grabbed a fluffy soft bathrobe and put it by the pool-sized bathtub. She the then turned the tab that was shaped likes a pink violet. She then turned those tabs for the water and brought it to a perfect temperature of warm but a little hot water. (Just the way she liked it) she took off her pajamas and slipped into the warm water. The bath smelled heavenly of fresh violets and sweet pea, which intoxicated her nostrils. She relaxed at one side of the bath a laid their to think.
If only life can be like this. A warm bath that relaxes and soothes you. It always helps you out on those really bad days and brings comfort to all. I wonder what I should do today. Maybe I'll go for a walk by the lake and then go to breakfast. I guess I'll just hang out with Harry, Ron, Angela, and Ginny the whole day. Sounds perfect, a calm walk by the lake and a day with my best friends, and mind you I don't have to run into the ferret.
After soaking for a little while longer Hermione go out of the bath and put the soft bathrobe on her. She drained the bathtub and went towards the sink. She brushed her teeth and dried her hair. After that she went to her bedroom to change. She opened her walk in closet and tried to decide on what to wear. She then chooses a red quarter sleeved sweater and a pair of long gray sweat pants. She then put on her robe. She looked in the mirror and combed her hair. It was a little frizzy but what difference would it make. She was about to put on her shoes when there suddenly was a rapid knocking coming from the bathroom. She went inside the bathroom and heard it coming from the ferret's door. She then stood on the other side of the room with her arms folded on her chest.
Let's just make him wait a little, waste a little time and see what happens.
Hermione giggled a little when she heard the knocking on the door get louder.
Draco's POV
Draco opened up his sleepy eyes. He was used to walking up this early, even on weekends. But instead of getting up he just laid there staring up at the ceiling. It was his first time to be back at Hogwarts without his father living with them at the Manor.
His father had been sent to Azkaban after the Great War. The Ministry had been looking for death eaters who had survived after the war. It was said that someone had told the Ministry that Lucius had survived and was hiding. He was trying to become the next dark lord but someone had told them his secret. By that of doing he got caught and sent to Azkaban. Who would of thought that one person would be able to get the now dead dark lord's right hand man in jail. With this thought Draco grinned (in a good way) to himself. It had been devastating when he was sent to the prison, but it was for the better. Draco was finally free, from a man who would physically and verbally abuse his son and wife. But now every thing is at peace. His mother, Narcissia, is as happy and at peace. This is what made Draco feel better at times. That his mother is happy and doesn't need to worry about his father anymore. Draco can still be a prick but that was just to keep his reputation. He would show his soft side ever so slightly but he still had that scornful, discriminating side in which his father had brought him up with. But still the words his mother said were still evident in his mind since he left to come to Hogwarts.
" Draco, my son, you needn't need to always hide your true soft side, you must embrace your heart and melt down the ice-cold barrier that your father forced you to make. I want you to be happy also. It is your final year and I want you to make the most of it."
Draco let the words sink into his mind, he would try to change, but change wouldn't come till a while. That barrier is still frozen around his heart, but someday, something or even someone will melt it away for him.
" If only things were as easy. Easier said then done I guess." Draco thought out loud.
Draco then decided to get up and start his day by getting a shower. He headed towards the door that led to the bathroom. He tried to turn the knob and noticed that it was locked. Draco tried to listen to see if Granger was still in the bathroom.
Hmmph, no sounds of a shower running, or the bathtub. She must not be in there, but why the bloody hell is the door locked.
" Granger!....." shouted Draco
He started knocking loudly on the door. After knocking for about a minute or two there was still no response.
" What am I doing all the banging for, I should just use my wand. Alohomora!..... Alohomora!! What the bloody hell is up with this, I can't use magic in our dormitory." Said an aggravated Draco.
He then resorted back to banging on the door hoping granger or at least someone would open it up, for he really had to use the loo.
Regular POV
Hermione had been standing there for two minutes at least. She tried to stifle the laughter that had wanted to escape from her. After hearing Draco call for about the 10th time she finally decided to open the door for him. But he wouldn't get it that easily. Hermione walked very slowly towards the door making him wait in more anticipation. Finally she had reached the door and unlocked it. She took some quick steps back knowing what was about to come next.
After banging on the door for about an hour, Draco finally heard a click, telling him that she had finally unlocked the door. Draco burst in with anger shown in his cold eyes. He then saw Hermione standing a few feet away from the door with her arms cross and a small grin on her face. It seemed that she knew that he had been banging on the door for at least 5 minutes now.
" Granger what the bloody hell do you think your playing at?" Yelled Draco
Hermione just stood there with an innocent look on her face.
" Whatever are you talking about Malfoy?" Hermione asked innocently
" Oh bullshit, I bet you had just stood here this whole time basking in glory as you made me wait so impatiently. No mudblod like you can ever do that! You should be very lucky that I haven't strike yet. But right now I want to use the bathroom so get the hell out Mudblood!" Yelled Draco, it really seemed he meant that. Hermione shot him daggers. Fury was in her eyes how dared he call her a Mudblood. Without another word Hermione quickly turned around and ran to her room. She didn't want Draco to see her cry. Once that single tear fell she knew that it wouldn't just end there.
It was very unusual for Hermione to break down and cry, just because of what he said. She was used to him treating her that way, but what was different about this time?
Hermione closed her door shut and locked her door. Hermione couldn't take it anymore. Tears started to flow down her cheeks. She walked to her bed and sat down on it. Her head was in her hands, she sobbed into them. She tried to calm down but her emotions got to her.
Draco's POV
Hermione then glared at him. To Draco's surprise she didn't say anything. She quickly turned around but there was something he noticed. When she turned around he saw that something slid down her cheek. As she ran he noticed that something dropped from were she was. He watched her shut the door close and heard it being locked. The smirk on his face had started to disappear. He looked down to the white marble floor. There was a tearstain in the place of where Hermione stood not long ago.
