When I came back through the fire place, I found Hermione sleeping on the couch. As I walked across the hearth floor, the clicking of my shoes must have woken her, because she started to stir. She opened her eyes and they immediately focused on me. She stood up quickly and walked over to me.
" How did it go?" She asked quietly. I shrugged my shoulders, I couldn't come out and say it. " Can I see?" She slowly reached for my left hand. She lightly grabbed the sleeve of my robe pulling it up revealing the ugly mark. I watch her as she begins to cry. I got a sudden nauseous feeling and had to run to the bathroom, I made to the toilet just in time for the vomit to rise up into my throat. Hermione walked in after, I could feel her rubbing my back, telling me everything was going tot be ok. For some reason that comforted me. " Come on Draco why don't you take a shower. I think that might help." I nodded my head and she began to pull my robes off me. She unbuttons my pants and shirt and let them drop to the floor. She reached into the shower and turned the water on.
" Come with me." I started pulling her close off. We both stepped into the shower. She instantly leaned up, and her lips met mine with another mind-blowing kiss. She pushed me back so the hot waters pour on me. Her hands ran over my chest and down my arms, she carefully ran her hand over the mark. I winced slightly from the pain but didn't stop her. She turned me around and I could feel her hands running up and down my back, it felt like she was wiping away all the bad. I turned off the shower when we were finished. I didn't even bother grabbing a towel, I just picked her up and carried her to my room. I laid her down on the bed. My heart was pounding, it wasn't like we hadn't done this before, it was because this time I knew I loved her. I want to tell her, but I was afraid of being pushed away. I pulled her up on the bed so that she her head could lay her head on the pillow. I kissed her hard on the lips and she moaned loudly. I could feel her hips pushing up against me. " I need to tell you something first." She said looking at me. " I need you to know that even though you might not feel the same, I still love you." I could tell that took it a lot for her to come out and say that.
I leaning down and whispered in her, " I feel the same." She looked at me shock and then pulled my head down into a searing kiss. I couldn't believe it, I finally told someone that I loved them and they didn't push me away. Instead I was embraced. Her legs wrapped around my waist in attempts to tell me she was ready. I felt her hand wrap around me and guide me to her opening. I pushed quickly into her and she moaned loudly. She was the perfect lover. Her hips met with every thrust. She was throwing off so much heat I could barely take it. My hands roamed her still wet body. Her head was leaned back and I took the opportunity to lick and suck on her neck as her hands ran up and down my back scratching me. I was so close to coming that it hurt, but I held back making sure she came first. Finally I felt her shudder and I let go, spilling myself inside her. I lay on top of her, her chest pressed hard into mine. When my breath finally slowed, I rolled off. Hermione turned to her side and smiled at me.
" Did you mean it?" She asked. I nodded my head, receiving another smile. She reached under and pulled the covers over us. Huddling closer to me. She ran her hands through my hair pushing it out of my face. " Everything is going to be all right. We can fix this." She said looking at my arm again. I nodded my head. I kissed her on the forehead, before relaxing my head on the pillow. I soon heard her breathing slow, signifying she had fallen asleep. This would be a night I would never forget.
The next morning I woke up alone in the bed. Had I been dreaming? I looked around the room looking for some proof that it actually happened, it wasn't until Hermione came barging back into the room wearing one of my tee shirts that I knew it was true. I laid back down on the bed. Hermione walked over to the bed and sat down next to me.
Before she could talk, I said something, " I was thinking about going to Professor Dumbledore." I told her.
" That's good." She said grabbing my hand and squeezing it. " He's not the enemy Draco. He can help you. He will believe you, maybe you can even help the light side." I didn't know if I was willing to do that, maybe in time. " Come on get dressed. We'll go before breakfast." She left the room to go get herself dressed. After I was dressed, I walked out into the common room and she was waiting for me. I walked slowly toward the headmasters office. We were careful not to be seen 'together', we still weren't willing to let everyone know about this. Besides Hermione had a boyfriend. I was just her lover. She quietly said his password (Jelly Beans) and stepped onto the revolving staircase. I walked across the main room and knocked on the oak doors.
" Maybe you should wait here." I said. She smiled and gave me a hug. Just then the door opened. I quickly pushed her away, but I think Dumbledore saw it anyway. I saw his eyes twinkle in excitement.
" Can I help you?" He smiled at both of us.
I nodded my head, " I need to speak with you about something." I told him.
" Yes you do." I could tell he already knew. I stepped into his office and took a seat. Dumbledore slowly walked around his desk and took a seat. " I already know what you're here for." He told me. " I must say that I am slightly disappointed you didn't come sooner. We could have prevented this." He glanced quickly at my left arm and then back up to me. " This can be a good thing though."
" Why?" I asked. I was some what expecting him to expel me.
He smiled, " We need people like you." He said. " I'm guessing that your coming here to tell me you really don't want to be a part of this." His hand waved at my arm. " I know you were force into this. But you can help the people who are fighting against him, do you want to." I shrugged my shoulders. " Take your time and think about it. Tell me when you're ready." I nodded my head and stood up.
" Thank you." I said heading toward the door.
" And might I say be careful, you wouldn't want something as precious as her slipping away." His eyes twinkled. Was there anything this guy didn't know?
I nodded my head again, " Don't worry, she won't" I waved goodbye and left the room. Hermione was sitting there patiently.
" That didn't take long." She said, " How did it go?"
" He believes me." I told her.
She smiled, " I told you he would. You see every thing is going to be ok." She grabbed my hand and we head back toward the spiral staircase. Only separating when we walked out into the hallway. " See you tonight" she said. I nodded my head and went the opposite way. I only hoped she was right.
A/N: I'm so happy right now. I really hope you like this chapter. I took the chance and made them tell each other how they felt. This chapter is a bit longer then the rest of them. The next chapter is going to be the last one in Draco's POV, then it changes to a normal POV. Please Review and tell me what you think!
HD Fan 1: I am sorry for the short chapter and lack of sex scenes. It's just that things needed to be done, so I had to put Draco's member away for a couple chapters. I'm glad you still liked it, hopefully this chapter made up for the last two.
CrazyChild18: You finally got your answer about whether Draco was getting the Dark Mark or not, but now you know!
Hidden-Me-05: So sorry about the short chapters, but I hope you understand I didn't want to put to much in one chapter. I am still glad that you like the story and I hope you enjoy this chapter. It is a bit longer then the last few and the chapters coming should be long as well.
Ag2u4ever: I must say your kind of annoying, first you insult me by calling me pathetic and then you try to tell me how to make my work better. I think there is something wrong with this picture! Anyway I wanted to tell you that if you had been paying attention to the story you would know why it is only Draco POV . . . here let me help you, maybe it's because he's telling the story! Wow can you believe it.
To the rest of you: I absolutely love your reviews. Keep the suggestions coming. I love seeing them. I am sorry if you catch my spelling errors and things like that, I am not perfect, but if you do see something tell me. I will probably go and change it. Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed the new chapter. Kisses
