Chapter 5 Late Night Talks
~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione had refilled her mug of coffee and was sitting, staring into the fireplace. All the elves kept trying to offer her food, but she waved it away. The pie had made her a little sick. She heard the portrait swing open behind her, and suddenly she was terrified and she spun around.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco entered the kitchen quietly, not wanting to scare Granger. She had been really jumpy lately. He saw her standing by the fire with a look of terror on her face. Looking a little harder, he realized she wasn't just scared, she was terrified.
"Whoa, relax Granger. I'm not that scary." Draco said, unable to suppress a chuckle. He watched her visibly relax, and the look of terror trickled out of her face. Now she looked tired and slightly scared, possibly upset. She was an open book, and Draco grew concerned, but his own face didn't show it. Suddenly, Dobby realized who he was.
"M-master Malfoy! What is it you be wanting? Dobby is more than happy to get it for you."
"I'll take a cup of coffee, Dobby." He was about to insult the elf, but remembered SPEW. Granger looked like she didn't need any more strain. He sauntered over to the table and picked up a doughnut. Dobby rushed over with a mug of coffee, and Draco perched himself on the edge of the table, looking at Hermione.
"Miss Hermione, where is the great Harry Potter? Why is you not with him? He never comes to see Dobby anymore." Draco saw Hermione wince at Harry's name. He was really confused now. He realized Potter must have done something to Granger, but he didn't understand what yet.
"So Granger, are you going to the Halloween Masquerade Ball? I mean, you've planned the entire thing, are you going to go?"
"Probably not. In case you haven't noticed, Malfoy, I'm not even eating in the Great Hall. Why the hell would I attend a Ball? I don't have a costume anyway, so why bother?" Draco realized she was trying to be sarcastic, but because she was tired it wasn't working. Now he wanted to see how she would react to Potter's name again.
"Whatever happened to you and Potter? You two were the "Dream Couple" for almost two years. Now you avoid him like a bad disease." He saw her flinch and tense up, but he kept talking. "He tried to follow you down here, but.." He stopped. Granger's face was white and she looked terrified, worse than earlier.
"H-he was..following m-me?" she stuttered it out in a whisper, looking deep into Draco's eyes, trying to tell if he was lying.
"Yeah, but he was 'reminded' of the hours Prefects are allowed out of the common room." He watched Granger's face gain a little color. Draco glanced at his watch. "It's almost our curfew. I need sleep. We have that Arithmancy test tomorrow." Hermione nodded slowly and turned to Dobby.
"Thanks Dobby. I'll visit again soon."
"Bye Miss Hermione, Master Draco." Draco swept out the door and started walking quickly down the hall.
"M-Malfoy!"
"What is it Granger?" He turned around, making his voice sound annoyed.
"Wait up, please." She said it really quietly. He waited until she caught up, then they walked down the hall together, a bit more slowly.
"Granger, why are you so afraid of Potter?" he asked, watching her face for a reaction. She paled.
"W-what do you mean?"
"Don't play stupid with me. We both know your not, now answer my question." Her face grew red with anger.
"It's none of your business!" She ran to the portrait and yelled the password 'Bloody Hell' the portrait swung open and she ran in. Draco followed, and as he stepped inside, he heard her door slam shut and music float down the staircase. Shaking his head, he climbed the stairs, went into his room, and tumbled into bed.
