A/N-Thankyou for everyone so far who has reviewed.Most of it has been quite
positive,and i would like to thank those who pointed out a few mistakes
with capitals etc I had overlooked :D
So yeah i'm glad you like the story so far and lets hope it doesn't go too
far downhill from here.
Supper in the great hall had been(as always)absolutely superb.Hermione felt like she wouldn'tbe able to eat for another week let alone fit into her clothes and robe tomorrow morning.
Hermione had already had plenty of time to take in her new,beautiful surroundings before dinner.She was positively thrilled at the idea of having her own common room.
'Well,maybe not my OWN common room' The brown haired girl thought to herself 'There is still the matter of Malfoy the bouncing ferret'
At dinner,Hermione had obliged Harry and Rons eagerness to see her new common room by inviting them up for a look after they had finished packing all of their belongings away.It was now 9:30 and the pair still hadn't arrived.Hermione decided to take out a book and read while she waited for them.Hermione giggled as she read through parts of one of her old favorites,"The Vampire Lestat".She never could get enough of Lestats complete disregard for the rules.
Barely half an hour had passed before she heard a tapping on the portrait hole from outside.As a head girl she couldn't very well go around blurting out the password(Got Wood?) even if Ron and Harry were her best friends. Hermione walked over to the portrait and swung it open to reveal one Ronald Weasley,very much alone.
"Oh hello Ron." Said Hermione,somewhat confused "Wheres Harry?"
Ron looked somewhat uncomfortable standing there by himself,like something important or embarressing was on his mind.
"he uh..umm..he had some..um something to take care of." Ron spluttered "He said he would come another time and that he's really sorry he couldn't make it and hopes he hasn't let you down."
~Flashback~
"But Harry..." Ron spluttered (A/N-he seems to do that quite a lot doesn't he)
"No buts Ron!Get out of this portrait hole now and go and tell her how you feel before I knock you down the stairs and spread a rumour about you having a crush on Snape.GO!"
~Back to the future~
Hermione sensed something weird going on but she dismissed this thought and showed Ron in.She pointed out various aspects of the common room that she found particulary impressive,which of course began with the mutant sized bookcase.
Ron gazed at all this,quite in awe as everything in here was much nicer than anything in Gryffindor tower,but his mind was obviously somewhere else.Hermione,being the smart little cookie that she is,realized this of course.She began to ask Ron what was wrong when he suddenly interrupted.
"HermionewoulditbeokifIsawyourroom" His ears and face instantly went read
Hermione looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What?" she asked,having absolutely no idea what he just said.But then again who would?
Ron took a deep breath. "Hermione,would it be ok if I saw your room?"
Hermione laughed. "Of course it is you silly goose.No need to go all red over asking that,we've been friends long enough not to be embarressed to see where each other sleep." She laughed again. "Men."
Obviously,despite Hermione being a smart little cookie,she didn't even see a lovesick teen when he was right in front of her. She lead him up the hall to her door and opened it to reveal a beautifully crafted room,naturally decorated in Gryffindor's house colours.She plopped herself down on her comfy queen size bed(which she was,like anyone would be,very grateful for) and smiled warmly at her friend.
"This is it.The end of our grand tour if you completely ignore his lordships rooms" Hermione said,sarcasm lacing the end of her comment.
Ron cracked a small smile at Hermiones verbal attack on Malfoy but his brow was wrinkled in thought.They sat there for several moments when finally Ron decided he might as well get this out of the way before the tension choked him.He cleared his throat.
"Listen Hermione...I need to tell you something.Please don't interrupt or make any comments until i'm done,this is hard enough as it is." he started
Hermione opened her mouth to protest but quickly stopped herself.
"Ok here it goes....for a long time now I have been feeling something towards to that is more then what I would call friendship.At first I thought it might be just temporary lust,or something stupid like that..but its not.I've tried to shake off this feeling,out of fear it would ruin our friendship,but i can't.I can't stand anyone hurting you,I can't stand the thought of you being with anyone else.I know its wrong to be so jealous but i can't help it.I love you Hermione...thats what I came here to say...I love you."
Suddenly the room felt a million decibles quiter.As if tension the now filled the head girls room had spun a thick web of silence that nothing could penetrate through.it was horrible.After a few moments went by,Hermione finally spoke up..trying to sound as calm and collected as she could.
"Ron.." she began
*Hermiones inner monologue* oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god
"I appreciate you tell me the truth...it must have been very hard..I mean difficult for you!"
*Hermiones inner monologue* Did I just say that? Kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me kill me
Hermione went red.
"Although I appreciate it and respect you for your honesty and bravery,I can't pretend to return your feelings."
Ron's face fell while at the same time his heart broke.
'She doesn't love me.I've make a complete and utter git out of myself,again.Of course though,why would she ever love me?Probably in love with Harry or something'
*Hermione inner monologue* Oh no...such pain in his eyes.I rejected him so coldly.I could have at least chosen my words better.Idiot.
"Ron." She bgan again "I'm so sorry.You're my best friend in the whole world,and I just don't want to ruin what we have or lead you on,it wouldn't be fair on you in the long run.I do love you Ron,but only as a friend..nothing more.I'm sorry.I can only hope that we can still salvage some of what we had and that you understand." Hermione looked at him with hopeful eyes.
Ron simply nodded with complete and utter disappointment and heartache. 'If she doesn't love me and she doesn't want to be with me I suppose I will just have to try and move on.But I wonder...would she..no not Hermione...but then again if she is feeling sorry enough for me.....and all I want is one'
Ron cleared his throat again.
"Umm..Hermione?" He began softly "Would you mind it if I..uh..if I...kissed you..just once." The last part he added in very quickly
Hermione was taken aback by this and began to utter her disapproval when Ron pressed his mouth hard againts hers.
*Hermiones inner monologue* Oh my !@#$ing god.....this is not happening!
She squeezed her eyes shut to try and force what was happening out of her mind.She felt like she was kissing her brother.
'Don't worry Herm,it will all be over soon' She reassured herself.
Unfortunately for Hermione this wasn't going to happen.
Ron began to become more needy and kissed her deeper,and harder.She didn't kiss back.She tried pushing him off her but to no avail.All Ron could think about was continueing what was happening.He of course was not thinking with his brain right now.
'Well i'll never have this experience again' he thought to himself in his passion driven state. 'I might as well make the most of it'
He pushed Hermione down on her back and was on top of her,kissing her more violently.She struggled againts him with all her might,but he was to heavey and his arms pinned her underneath him like a lion and its prey.She attempted to push him away again,only managing to pry her lips apart for a few precious seconds to let out a blood curdling scream.Ron was blind and deaf to all of this,all he wanted was her.
Hermione's tears were slipping down her face and she continued struggling on and on,even after her scream. 'Help me,oh god please help me' She thought desperately 'Not this way,not with him..how could he do this to me?'
She kicked and pulled againts him,her tears now like a waterfall that never ceased.She pulled away and screamed again,Ron pushing himself harder and harder into her.
Suddenly the door slammed open and a figure sped across the room towards the two on the bed.The figure grabbed hold of Ron and threw him across the room.The head girl laid whimpering on her bed,too frightened from the accounter to move.
She uttered one word only "Malfoy."
Never before has she been so glad to see the Slytherin.
Draco turned his eyes away from the emotional wreck on the bed and spun around to face Ron with his most evil and menacing sneer upon his face.
"Get the hell out of our dorm you filthy prick.If you ever touch her again I will personally ensure that you never walk another day on this earth without feeling immsense,agonizing pain.Just remember..I AM the son of a death eater." he spat at the scared red head,through gritted teeth.
Ron finally awaoke to what he had done..what he had been doing.He felt a wave of guilt and shame wash over him as he thought of what had happened in the past few minutes,what he had intended to do to her and as he looked upon her shaking body,curled up in a self protecting foetal position.
"Hermione..I" He started as he rose from the floor
"I said get out Weasle" Draco glared daggers at him again
"I just need to apologise first..Hermione"
"You heard him Ron" Hermione said shaking...his name making her feel the need to be sick. "Get the hell out of my room."
Shot down and defeated as he was Ron left the room slowly,hating the blonde Slytherin at Hermiones side more than ever and vowing to himself to make everything up to his former best friend. 'God I hope she doesn't tell Harry' he thought to himself selfishly.
The door shut gently behind him as he left the room.Straight away Draco turned his attention back to the tear stained brunette on the bed.He felt pity for her and hatred towards Weasley,yet there was still part of that loathing towards her there simply because she was Granger.
'Think about it later' He commanded himself.
"Are you alright" He asked Hermione as softly as he could muster..he wasn't used to this whole being kind thing.
Hermione nodded slowly,although they both knew it was a lie.Who would be alright after an encounter such as that,with someone who was supposed to be a friend.
"I think I would just like to be left alone to get some sleep..please" She uttered meekly.
Draco nodded,half put out that she was tossing him out after what he just did for her(god bless Slytherin pride) and half understanding that she needed some space.
He spun quickly around and headed for the door that Ron had fled through only moments before.s he reached for the knob and pulled the door open,the head girl softly called his name.
"Draco" he whispered as if about to burst into tears once more. "Thankyou"
Draco nodded and gave her a half smile and closed the door.he walked back down the corridor towards his room...
*Draco's inner monologue* Did she just call me Draco?
