Draco didn't understand why Hermione didn't want him to leave, but he sat down on the bed. Hermione sat too.
"Draco, how come you didn't want me to tell anyone about that night?" Hermione asked.
"Wasn't it obvious? I didn't want anyone to know that I slept with you," Draco replied.
Hermione eyes filled with tears at the answer. Then she became angry.
"I understand, you didn't want anyone to know that you did anything with the mudblood! You can go Draco! I don't care anymore!" Hermione yelled as she pushed him out the door.
"Hermione don't do this," Draco said softly as he turned to her.
Hermione wasn't listening anymore. She hated him. She shut the door in Draco's face and locked it. Draco banged his fist against the door, making Hermione jump.
"Hermione, open the door," he said.
"Just go away!" Hermione yelled.
Draco growled in frustration and walked to his room. He didn't understand why she was doing this to him.
The next morning, Draco found Hermione in the kitchen making breakfast.
"It'll be ready in about ten minutes. You can sit down," she said.
Draco just stared at her and continued to stand.
"Hermione, I want to talk to you," he said.
"I'm busy, if you'll just wait until we've finished with breakfast, then maybe we'll be able to talk," Hermione said.
Draco sighed and sat down. He ate quietly and offered to help Hermione with the dishes.
"No, they can wash themselves," she replied.
With a flick of her wand, the dishes started to wash themselves. Hermione nodded toward the living room and Draco followed her. They sat down and Hermione sighed.
"I'm sorry for my outburst last night. I was upset," she said.
"Don't be sorry, you had every right to say those things to me. You were right; I didn't want anyone to know I had been with you. But the reasoning behind that is, every other girl I had been with had been gone after by a lot of the other Slytherins. I planned to keep you to myself; but as the year dragged on, we saw less of each other," Draco said.
Hermione didn't know what to say, she stared at Draco for a moment. Before she said anything, Draco left the room.
"Hey wait!" Hermione exclaimed.
Draco turned around to look at her. She was obviously upset about something.
"What?" he asked.
"I… I just want to say that I felt the same way about you when you told me that you loved me," Hermione said, softly.
Draco smiled slightly and walked up to her. He took her hand and kissed it.
