Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns it all.
Oh yes I forgot to
apologize for my scene last time aka the kissing scene. I'm under
experienced so please bear with me.
Yes the sadness of
it all. I'm turning 15 and I have never kissed anyone. I warned you
people! I'm not a romantic in real life!
Recap:
He
turned to face the girl of his dreams and kissed her.
Lightly at
first but he deepened it, nibbling on her lip for encouragement.
She
kissed him back knowing that it was wrong but her desire for him over
ruled her head. She did not think of the past, present or future.
Instead, she focused all her energy on him.
This is how life is supposed to be. She thought to herself and smiled.
She knew that from the first kiss, she loved him.
Chapter 8
For the rest of the night, all the duo did was to sit there, look up at the stars and talk.
Hermione finally fell asleep in Draco's arms.
The next morning, she woke up, not it the arms of the man she loved but in the common room alone. At first this all felt normal until the events of last night came back to her.
I wonder if it all was just some kind of fantasy I dreamed up last night. She started to assume that her thoughts were true until she saw that she was sleeping with a green blanket. This put Hermione's mind to rest. She jumped up to her room to freshen up for the day
Draco was walking down the corridor but he felt like he was almost floating. The previous night had been like a dream for him. He had held the girl of his dreams until she had fallen asleep. He knew that they could not fall asleep here in the tower because of suspicions yet he did not want to go. He wanted to stay in that moment forever. After the clock struck 12, Draco picked up his brunette love and cast a charm on them so as not to be seen. He knew that he would not be able to put her in her dorm since she had bewitched so he softly laid her down on the sofa, whipped out his blanket and sat there watching her sleep.
The next morning Malfoy left early, afraid of Hermione's reaction. He went to patrol the grounds and eat breakfast. Draco was walking down the corridor but he felt like he was almost floating.
As Hermione walked into the Great Hall, she couldn't stop smiling which was odd for Hermione because she usually was concentrating on a certain piece of homework or reading a book. It looked like somebody had pained a clown's smile on her. This did not change throughout the day. It confused her friends and fellow house mates. Nobody had ever seen Hermione this upbeat in years. Nobody decided to question her just in case she would turn back into a foul mood. Nope Hogwarts were fine with the Hermione they had for today.
Draco however was a lot better at hiding emotions so nobody suspected anything wrong with him except, maybe, Blaise. Malfoy had soared through the day not caring what others would say. He was considerably kinder that day to everybody. There was a lot less teasing from him and not a word about the pathetic trio. Blaise enjoyed his company because he was like this with Blaise when nobody was around. He had no complaints hence he did not bother to ask.
For some odd reason, both love bird did not see each other till lunch. This time Hermione sat facing the rest of the school and so did Draco. They had both caught each other's eye and smiled. This was a sight to see because Malfoy did NOT smile. The most you would get out of him would be a smirk but he had put out a real, genuine smile. This surprised her because of the damage it could do to his bad boy reputation yet she was pleased with it.
Draco could no wait to get out of class that day. He made a lame excuse and rushed to the common room. To his dismay, Hermione wasn't there. He waited for an odd hour or so until he realized that she wasn't going to come any time soon.
HGPOV
All throughout the day she was thinking about him but for some reason, she could not bring herself to meet him at the end of the day. There was still a certain fear that something would go terribly wrong. She hated the fact that he was waiting for her and she was not there with him. Instead, she decided to go with Lavender and Parvati who were begging her to help them with their homework.
She did not participate in the girl's gossip and had left straight after helping the two.
Instead of going back to her room, she decided to go up to where Draco had taken her last night.
Once she was up there, she felt like the whole world beneath her had stopped. Like time had been frozen. It calmed the young woman and could not help realize why Draco loved this place so much.
She felt a certain pang of guilt when her thoughts wandered to the blonde haired boy. She was ecstatic that their feelings for each other were mutual but she could not bring herself to face him. She was still afraid that he would turn back to the mean, obnoxious bay he had been the start of the year.
Little did Hermione know that she was being watched by a dark figure hiding behind on of the statues on the tower.
Damn you Hermione! I will kill you! You are nothing but a filthy little mud blood that wants to steal the only good thing in my life. Your kind has already taken away my family, my friends and now my love. I will find the right time to get rid of you.
Hermione heard a sound behind her and turned around to see who it was. At that same moment, the trap door was opened and out climbed Draco. He had a worried look on his face that softened when he saw her.
"I thought I might find you here." He smiled. Not a smirk but a real, genuine smile.
Hermione smiled back. Butterflies had taken over her stomach and she was unable to speak.
All she could do was stand there like a prat and smile
.I know it isn't the best of chapters. Personally I don't know where I was going with this one but never mind. Please review. Constructive criticism is much welcomed. Same Bargain with the next chapter.
