The Train Ride
Hermione woke up the next morning feeling like she hadn't slept at all. The whole night she kept reliving memories she didn't even know she had anymore. Then there were also all the memories of her and Draco. She got dressed silently, as not to disturb Amy and headed to the cafeteria. About 15 minutes later Amy sat down right next to her.
"So sleep well?" Amy questioned.
"Yea," Hermione lied.
"It's weird isn't it."
"What's weird?"
"The way you told me you hated Draco and yet when you talk about him, you have this look in your eye. I don't quite know what it is, but it certainly isn't hate."
"I don't want to talk about Draco right now."
"Ok, well group starts in about 10 minutes. So I'll see you there," with that she got up and left. Hermione ate the rest of her breakfast not talking to anyone. She walked slowly to group. When she got there she realized she was the last person to arrive.
"Its fine," Claire said, "Hermione please continue with your story."
Hermione started where she had left off, about the talk in the Three Broomsticks and the train ride to Hogwarts.
Flashback
"Good acting Hermione."
"Thanks Draco, you didn't do so bad yourself."
"Aw, what can I say? It just comes naturally." Hermione laughed. Just then the barmaid came over and they ordered the drinks and talked about Hogwarts. Hermione looked around and saw Pansy coming up the street through the window.
"Hey, we could get both people in one day." Draco turned around to see where she was looking. And sure enough there was Pansy.
"Why not," with that he took Hermione's hand and walked out the door, practically running into Pansy.
"Hi Drakie," Pansy said in a high pitched voice.
"I prefer you don't call me that." Pansy then noticed Hermione. She looked down at where their fingers where intertwined.
"What are you doing hanging out with mudblood scum like her?"
"Please Pansy I prefer if you don't call my girlfriend a mudblood." Pansy's face fell at what Draco had said.
"You mean you're dating her?" Pansy said in almost a whisper.
"Yea, but anyways Pansy we must get going we still have to pick up our robes."
"Oh, ok, see you later than Draco." They started walking down the road hand in hand.
Even though Pansy couldn't see them anymore they kept their hands together.
End of Flashback
"The train ride there is where things started to get a little serious. We'd been pretend dating for two weeks and like we would owl each other and stuff. Sometimes we would owl each other mushy stuff just to laugh at it. So on the train..."
Flashback
"Hey, Hermione!" I turned around to see Draco waving me over.
"You guys I'm going to sit with Draco, I'll come sit with you guys in a little bit ok?"
"Yea that's fine," Harry answered. Ron didn't say anything. I made my way over to Draco and we went and found an empty compartment.
"So is Pansy off your back yet?"
"Not really, she's always like you could do so much better and crap like that."
"I see Ron has been avoiding me, whenever I try to talk to him he always leaves."
"Why?"
"Because he's being an immature asshole."
"Hey I see them coming down the train looking for a compartment. I think it's time we..." he never got to finish his sentence because Hermione knew what he meant. She practically pounced on him. After the initial shock wore over he started kissing her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she put her arms around his neck and they pulled each other closer.
They heard the compartment door open and heard is shut with a slam. No doubt, Ron had seen them. But they didn't pull apart. Finally Hermione pulled away for a breath of air. "Well, that was interesting."
"Yea," Draco replied. They sat there looking at each other then they saw Pansy walking down the aisle looking for a compartment. "Ready," he asked.
"As I ever will be," with that he pulled her close again and kissed her when she slid her arms around his neck he deepened the kiss. Hermione couldn't help but moan. They heard the compartment door slide open but they never heard it close. Draco pulled away.
"Do you need something Pansy?" Draco asked, she looked almost shocked to see them there.
"What, oh no, I'm just leaving." When she had left they burst out laughing.
"I better go, I promised Harry and Ron that I'd come to their compartment later."
"Ok, I'll see you later." Draco blew Hermione a kiss, but then she remembered the compartment door was open.
"See you," Hermione set off down the hall in search of Harry and Ron. She finally found them near the end of the train.
"I have to go talk to Seamus," Harry said. He didn't even wait for them to say good-bye, he just strode right out the door.
"What's up?" Hermione asked Ron.
"Not much, listen Hermione I have a question for you."
"Really what?"
"Well, why were you afraid to go public with me, but yet you can go public with Malfoy?"
"Well, I wasn't ready to let our relationship out yet, our relationship was way deeper than Draco's and mine."
"So basically, your just using him?"
"No, I happen to like Draco, quite a lot."
"It seems weird doesn't it, that we break up one minute and the next hour you're hanging off Draco Malfoy's arm. If I didn't know any better Hermione I'd say you're up to something."
"Well I'm not Ronald Weasley, I like him a lot and I wish you would just be happy for me."
"How can I Hermione? We used to go out. Sure we broke up but then the next second you're with Malfoy. It's just hard, especially when I care about you so much. But you obviously don't care how I feel about all this. But it doesn't matter. I'll talk to you later."
Hermione walked out of the compartment fuming. She reached the compartment Draco was in, but found that he wasn't alone. Hermione walked in and saw Pansy trying to push Draco down. "Parkinson! Get off him!" Pansy was obviously shocked to see Hermione there. She just ran strait out. "The nerve of her."
"Yea, well that's just how she is. She never really thinks anything's off limits to her." He looked up at Hermione, "thanks for saving me."
"Anytime, that's what girlfriends do right?"
"Oh, how did your meeting with Weasel go."
"He's pissed that I'm going out with you. He's like we break up one second and then you're with Malfoy the next. And stuff like that. He then told me he though I was up to something since I wouldn't go public with our relationship but that I would go public with you."
"Ah, I see." He then looked up at Hermione, "Hermione."
"What?"
"Well, you know I'm kind of tied down now."
"Well, yea."
"It's just that, I don't get any action if I'm tied down to you."
"So you're saying you want to be able to snog other girls. Go ahead."
"Hermione, I do not cheat on my girlfriends."
"Well, Draco you've never really had a girlfriend before have you."
"Well no, but still I don't cheat."
"Well what are you getting at."
"I'm saying I'm not going to get any action at all. So I think that it would be only fair if you gave me some action." Hermione almost hurled.
"What!" She shrieked.
"You heard me."
"I know, but that's disgusting."
"Shh, people will hear you."
"Oh, well I'm still not doing it."
"Please, Hermione, you never said how long we are going to do this, and I plan on sticking this though, please?" Draco was giving her the puppy dog eyes. She really couldn't resist that.
"Fine," she snapped. "But if I don't like what we're doing then I'm not doing it."
"Fine by me, as long as I get a snog every once in a while."
"Well then you should be okay, for a couple more days."
"No I won't, see Hermione this is why I don't have girlfriends very often."
"Fine, once a day is all I'm going to give you."
"Fine, if that's the best offer."
"Well we're almost there I best be changing into my robes."
End of Flashback
"That's all the time we have for today." Everyone filed out of the room. Amy and Hermione walked to the cafeteria. That night, she went with Amy to the game room and played a game of wizards chess with her. That night when Hermione was just about to fall asleep she had another flashback.
Flashback
"Hermione, I don't think we should be together anymore."
"What, why?"
"It's not you, it's not even me, it's my father, he'll kill you and me if he ever found out about us."
"It's okay Draco, I'd rather die happy with you, then die old and lonely someday without you."
End of Flashback
Hermione was even to tired to cry after that flashback. She fell right asleep and had dreams of memories that she shared with Draco.
