About an hour and five minutes later Hermione arrived outside of the Malfoy Manner. She rang the doorbell and waited for Draco. When Draco finally answered the door, he was overly happy at seeing Hermione. For a minute he just stood there frozen in place. She looked almost exactly as she had in the dream. After a moment or so he snapped out of it and moved forward. He embraced Hermione in the biggest hug humanly possible, which was odd especially for him. "Hermione, Love, I am so happy to see you. I've missed you so much." "Draco, sweetie, you're crushing me." "Sorry love, I just couldn't be happier to see you. Come this way, I have the tea ready." Hermione and Draco walked down the hallway and turned right into a large room. The tea was there at the gorgeous table waiting for them.
"Hermione, what happened to you? You look like you've been through a terrible ordeal." "I have Draco, but I don't wish to tell anyone just yet." "That's fine; you can tell me whenever you're ready." They sat in a while for silence and just drank their tea pondering. I wonder if he still likes me. It's been a few years, but he did call me love and give me a hug when I got here. I should ask him if he's been seeing anyone, Hermione asked herself. At the same time, Draco was pondering very similar thoughts. I hope she still likes me. I know it's been a few years, but maybe she still does .I should ask her if she's been seeing anyone, Draco thought to himself. "So have you been seeing anyone?" they both asked at the same time. I kind of did for awhile, but that has to do with what I've been through so I tell you later, Hermione stated. "I haven't seen a single soul. Hermione, do you still like me like you did back in seventh year?" "Of course I do Draco. I don't like you, I love you." "I love you too. Would you like to spend a night here or I can go back to your apartment with you." Thank you Draco, I think I'll stay here tonight. First can I make a few phone calls.
