It's too good to be true
Chapter 10 – Opposite sides
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy wanted to keep their new found affection for each other as "low-profiled" as possible. Draco Malfoy was a pure blood, and somehow, it was impossible for him to deal with the social stigma. Hermione on the other hand, wanted the relationship to be kept a secret so as not to anger her two best friends.
Hermione woke up early the next morning, in a terrific mood. She could hear Draco's even and peaceful breathing from her room. She had an idea. Softly as possible, Hermione opened the door to Draco's room, and stepped in front of him. Giggling slightly, she waved her wand and muttered something under her breath. Almost immediately, a large amount of cold water splashed on Draco's face.
"Holy sh…" Malfoy jumped out of his bed and fell on the floor ungraciously out of shock. He scrambled up to face Hermione, who was practically rolling on the carpet with laughter. Draco was irritated at being woken up so early, and especially being woken in such a …unique way. But seeing Hermione, he could not stay mad for more than a second. However, he pretended to be furious. "HERMIONE! What the heck do you think you're doing! It's not funny…stop laughing!" Hermione at that point of time was already choking with laughter. "You looked so cute when you are shocked! You should have seen your own face," she snickered, trying her best to stop laughing.
Draco smirked. He had a plan. "Hermione Granger, you ought to be punish…such behaviour from the Head Girl is intolerable!" He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her with all the emotion he got. Hermione's legs went weak, and she leaned onto his well-built body for support. Draco shaped her body towards his, never once breaking the kiss. The two teenagers went on kissing as if there was no tomorrow. Draco's tongue was exploring Hermione's mouth, and she moaned, loving it. Draco's passion heightened, and slowly, his hands reached under her shirt. Just then, his magical alarm clock rang.
"BRRRRRRIIINNG!"
The two of them broke away immediately, shocked. Hermione cleared her throat, and whispered, "It's time for class." He frowned.
"Dun go…"
"We got to get ready for classes, I am not going to be late just because of you."
When they were out of the Head's room, Hermione and Draco had to make special effort not to always look at each other, or get distracted with each other's actions. They had to keep their minds focused on their lessons, but somehow, in a way or another, they just would think of each other. Hermione constantly shot glances at Draco, but Draco always seemed to be engaged in a serious conversation with Blaise and Pansy. There was a tinge of jealousy and curiosity growing inside Hermione, but after some time, it was forgotten.
Draco and Hermione met in the library every night at 8 to discuss about their Potions project. Harry and Ron were very disapproving of her spending so much time with Draco. "Really, Hermione, " started Ron, " You shouldn't spent so much time with that ferret. We dun want you getting influenced to the DARK SIDE now, will we?" Hermione laughed at Ron's naïve statement. However, something hit her hard. Draco Malfoy was a pureblood, and his father was sent to Azkarban Prison for being such a loyal servant to Voldemort. Hermione walked to the Head's Room, thinking. She would never want to be with a Death Eater, nor a follower of the Dark Arts. It worried her very much. Draco's family background was going to affect her relationship with him greatly.
When class ended at 5pm, Hermione went straight to look for Malfoy. She spotted him among a group of girls, who were swooning over him. She rolled her eyes, and walked over to grab him away. He smirked, "What Granger? Jealous?" Hermione gave him a strained smile. " You wish! Draco… I need to talk to you about something important."
The smirk disappeaered from his face. Hermione was looking very worried and disturbed. He followed her to a quiet room.
"What's the matter, Hermione?"
"Draco, are you going to join the Dark side? Will you become a Death Eater eventually?"
The boy heard this, and his heart pumped very fast. He ought to be frank with the girl standing in front of him. For some reason, he could not lie to her.
"Yeah…."
Tears welled up in Hermione's eyes. This was the end! "Why? Can't you reject to being a Death eater? I can't carry on a relationship with a follower of Voldemort's!" She started sobbing.
It pained him to see her cry like that, especially because of him. Draco reached out to hug her. "I'm sorry Hermione, this is what that is expected from me. I am a Malfoy, remember? You just have to get used to it, then it would be fine in the future."
She pushed him away. "How can I just get used to it? I won't like someone who is going to help Voldemort destroy Harry!"
Draco felt anger welled inside him. "So its Potter that you are concerned about! He means more to you than me!"
Hermione sobbed even harder. Why didn't he understand? I can't possibly like a boy who was going to be a Death Eater!
"So if you are given a choice, you would rather be a Death Eater than be with me?"
Draco was furious with Hermione. Why didn't she understand? I have to be a Death Eater, its my future…Father planned this for me, I can't disobey.
"Yes! I would choose to be a Death Eater. Its either you can deal with it or not!" he yelled at her.
Hermione felt extremely hurt. She was so happy with him, and now…
"FINE! I have nothing to do with you from now on. Dun ever bother me again!" she shouted, and stomped out of the room, wiping her tears on her sleeve as she went.
Draco sweared out loud. He hated how she just chose to leave him because he had to be a Death Eater when he grew up. It's not my choice…It's Father's.
Draco Malfoy was upset that Hermione left. He liked her a lot. He was not sure if he loved her, but he knew he really liked her. Sitting in the room for about one hour, he thought and thought about only her. It gave him a terrible headache, and his heart felt very heavy. He shook his head… I go through all this for a mudblood…Of all people to like, Draco Malfoy, why her?
