Draco awoke on Tuesday morning feeling like he hadn't slept at all. This was because he hadn't. He tossed and turned all night thinking of Hermione. Ever since he kissed her, which was only yesterday, he thought of nothing else. He hadn't intended it to happen. But they had been so close and she looked so pretty, even in her anger.
Now he was upset. She hadn't spoken to him since the kiss. Now he'd made her uncomfortable. She'd never speak to him again.
The room was already flooding with sunlight by the time he sat up. Hermione was still asleep, her eyelids fluttering occassionally. For some reason, he expected her to be an early riser, but it was already 10:30 am.
Finally, he got out of bed and got dressed. There wasn't much he could do, especially with Hermione asleep, but he wasn't exactly looking forward to confronting her about the day before. He went around the room straightening things up. Just then, Draco's owl zoomed through the window. It flew past him, landing on the far side of Hermione's bed.
"Come here!" Draco ordered in a hushed voice. The owl just ignored him.
"Get you feathery arse over here!" he whispered fiercely, but again, the owl ignored him. Slowly and quietly, Draco reached his arm over the sleeping Hermione towards the letter tied to the owl's leg. Being careful to not touch her, he began to untie it when Hermione's eyes opened. It took a moment for her eyes to focus, but when they did, they nearly popped.
"Ahhhh!!" she screamed, jumping out of bed. He jumped back and held up his hands defensively.
"I was just trying to get the owl. That's all, I swear," he assured her. Breathing deeply to calm her heard, she sat down and nodded. Seeing him leaning over her wasn't half as scary as the real reason she screamed. Yes, he'd scared her. But before she awoke, she'd been dreaming--of him. Of the kiss. Of liking him. And then she'd opened her eyes and seen--him. It was a bit much. Once calmed, she watched Draco struggle a bit with the owl, and then it flew away through the window. He unrolled the parchment and read it out loud.
"Just thought I'd let you know only four more days to go.
And you seem to be doing fine."
He smirked.
"Definitely Dumbledore's writing," he said.
"It's a bit odd that he knows how we are," Hermione said. "But I trust him." Draco nodded.
"Yeah, he's not that bad," he remarked.
After eating some lunch, Hermione stretched out on the sofa with--you guessed it--a book. Draco laid on his back on his bed with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling. At least she's talking to me again, he thought. But he knew he'd have to confront her about the day before.
He lay there, lost in thought, for over an hour. When he realized how long he'd been there, he sat up and glanced around the room. Hermione had fallen asleep on the couch, her book over her stomach. Great, he thought. Now I can't talk to her. As if on cue, Hermione stirred, and her eyes opened. She looked at the clock.
Hmm. I must have fallen asleep, she thought to herself. Draco decided to just go for it, and talk to her.
"Hey," he said casually.
"Did you fall asleep, too?" she asked.
"Huh? Oh, no," he answered. "I, uh...wanted to talk to you about yesterday," he began. Hermione's heart did flip-flops. She hadn't thought he'd be the one to bring it up, and she wasn't entirely prepared for it.
"Yeah?" she said trying to sound casual.
"Well, I...I'm sorry about it, and I hope you're not mad at me," he said quietly. She managed a smile, even though she was so nervous, her stomach was hurting.
"Why would I be mad?" she asked.
"Because...you know...I kissed you. And we got in a fight, too," he said. She shook her head.
"No, the fight was partly my fault," she insisted.
"Yeah, but I kissed you! You're not mad about it?" he asked disbelievingly. She shook her head, yet again.
"No. I guess I'm not," she admitted smiling. Draco was shocked. He was glad she wasn't angry, but he didn't expect her to be happy about it either. But he definitely felt better.
"I'm starved!" she said brightly to ease the tension.
"I still don't understand how you eat as much as you do," he said, shaking his head and smiling. She shrugged and they sat down to eat. They chatted casually, but Hermione couldn't get rid of a nagging feeling inside of her. Why had the kiss just been brushed aside?
**************************************************************************** ********
A/N: Welp, there it is. I have ideas planned out so I shouldn't run out for a while. But I'm not sure how long this will be. I do definitely plan on finishing it, because it is my one story that seems most popular. R/R!!!
