Chapter Fifteen: Please Forgive Me
---Draco's POV---
Hermione was exhausted. She'd been running around the castle all day, attending to her needy friends.
Draco's many cuts and bruises were beginning to heal. Hermione cast different spells on him every night and morning to try and clear them up. She'd even brewed several potions for him, hoping that he would recover faster.
Parvati wasn't in good shape either. She spent most of her time very upset. Apparently during the holidays she had dated a 'Hot Guy' and they had now lost contact. He was a muggle, so Parvati couldn't exactly go sending him and owl.
She finally had a moment to herself and sprawled herself out on the couch opposite Ginny.
'How were your holidays, Gin?'
'They were all right. We're kind of stripped for cash, so I can't so much shopping. Looking but not buying gets a little boring, how about you?'
'I stayed with my cousins, Claire and Samuel. Samuel is THE BIGGEST FREAK! He read my diary and went through all of my stuff! At first I thought he was going abuse me or something!'
'You mean he wanted to get into your pants?'
'Err, if you want to put it that way...'
Ginny laughed. 'Well, how about Claire?'
'Claire is great. She's so nice. She looks like me when I was her age, shame she's not a witch...'
'You mean the whole bushy hair, large teeth thing going on? No offense...'
'Yeah. None taken, times have changed since then.'
Schoolwork was to resume the next day, so Hermione headed towards her dormitory. She had to care for Draco again anyway.
When she entered he was sitting on the couch, eyes wide and fearful. His blonde hair was very messy, and he had dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep.
'Look...' Draco choked. His voice wasn't back to its normal self yet.
He passed her a note.
Dearest Draco
Hope you have arrived at Hogwarts safely. Your mother is suffering a lot. I know you feel she deserved it deep down no matter what you told me.
You better do well in your NEWTS, Draco. You have to keep up the family's reputation.
The real reason I have written to you is to keep you posted on when you will be receiving the Dark Mark. I'm sure you cannot wait. I'm still negotiating with the Dark Lord when you will get it. He wants you to wait, but I can see great things in you Draco.
I better let you get on with your studies. As for your mother...she's Barely Holding On.
Lucius
'Draco, this is terrible. Please, you have to show it to Dumbledore! It could be the difference between life and death for your mother!'
'I can't, Hermione. If he ever finds out, he'd kill her right away.'
Hermione sighed loudly.
'When will you tell him then?'
'When Lucius actually makes a date.'
Hermione decided not to keep arguing about it. She didn't want to have a fight, caused by Lucius.
He didn't deserve the satisfaction.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
---Hermione's POV---
Hermione had told everyone she had broken up with Draco, and Hogwarts believed her tale.
Many people had approached her, congratulating her on her decision. She was pleased to be gaining more friends, although unhappy for Draco, who was still traumatized by what went on in the holidays.
Hermione was sitting in History of Magic taking notes. She always had to force herself to concentrate; it was so hard when Professor Binns used such a boring tone.
Harry was passing her a piece of parchment. She took it carefully from his hands and unfolded the message.
In neat writing was:
Dear Hermione,
Since you have come to a decision to...forge ties with Draco Malfoy, I was wondering if you would like to become friends again?
I'm very sorry about the immature manner I used when you were dating him, but I'm sure you now understand.
Harry Potter
At the end of the note was a very messy message.
Hermione
Yeah, what he said
Ron
Hermione smiled. She pulled out her own quill.
It was hot pink; she had purchased it in the holidays. Hermione felt she deserved a special treat; after all, her old quill was getting very...old. She needed something new, perhaps to make her concentrate more on her studies.
In perfect handwriting she wrote.
Ron and Harry,
Thank you very much for your note. I would be happy to become friends with you again, as long as you promise to NEVER act like that again!
Hermione
P.S: Ron, what happened to Lavendar?
c
'Hermione!' Draco whined.
'Draco, they apologized, what more can they do? After all, it was a mistake, and I forgive them. They always have been such good friends, don't you think?'
'Name ONE good thing they have done for you!'
'In first year I would have been KILLED if it wasn't for them. Remember, with the troll and all?'
'And...'
'They always stood up for me when you called me a mudblood too!'
'Why can't you just forget about that? It's in the past now Hermione! I can't exactly...go back and change it all! I was raised really wrong, I didn't know any better!'
'I wasn't saying that Draco!'
He shook his head.
'If you don't agree with the fact that I HAVE friends and you don't this will never work!'
'What I can't AGREE with, is the fact that you won't stick to your guns. You just keep forgiving! They've done so much to you, how can you just take them back like that?'
'It's not like you were so perfect, and I accepted you!'
'Why would you want to be friends with Potter and Weasley anyway? Potter and his famous scar!'
'You're just jealous!'
'Weasley is a good for nothing idiot! He has nothing going for him. He's poor too!'
'You think you're rich? Draco, there's more to life then money! Ron has so many people who love him; he's rich in that way! Ron's probably one of the richest people on earth if that's how you classify rich!'
Draco raised his hand at her, about to hit her, but he stopped himself.
'I know I have nobody who loves me; you don't have to throw it in my face! It's not like you have relatives surrounding you!'
Hermione gave Draco a really hurt look. She had tears in her eyes.
She ran to her room and slammed the door. She never thought Draco was like that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'But you want to continue dating though, don't you?' Ginny asked after Hermione had finished telling her the story.
'I...don't know. He really lost his temper, and as much as I tell myself he's different, what if Lucius has taught him the wrong ways for too long? What if he really can't help himself? What if he tries for a while then loses it and abuses me? I can't help thinking he's too far gone to do things right now...'
'Hermione, he's just stressed about his mother and all. I bet he didn't MEAN to hurt you in any way...'
'You don't KNOW that Ginny. Narcissa is abused all the time. She locks herself up just to get away from it all. Her life is...wasted.'
'Hermione Draco is NOTHING like that! He would never do that to you, he's head over heels for you. Don't ruin it, Mione!'
'I guess I could talk to him about it. But he doesn't talk about anything. Not his father, his mother, how he's abused, Voldemort, anything. He just simply says what's going on, and then won't let me help him.'
'He's just secretive...'
'It's like Lucius has locked all his feelings up and thrown away the key!'
'Talk to him!'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione had had a rough day. She was wondering what to do about Draco. As much as she hated to say it to herself, she knew that Narcissa would never be free from that hell.
She knew once someone was a prisoner in Lucius's mind they could never escape. Never struggle out and make a new life for themselves.
She didn't want to be locked away in fear of what Draco might do to her. If she lived with him she didn't want to live in fear.
Hermione didn't want to take the chances, but the other side of her wanted to give him a chance.
Gathering all of her strength together, Hermione entered the common room, swinging the portrait hole open cautiously.
Draco was lying on the couch, reading a book. He seemed surprised when she entered.
'Hi,' he said slowly.
'Hi,' Hermione answered.
'Sorry about before, what I said was really out of line.'
Hermione didn't know what to say. She couldn't say anything.
'Hermione?'
'Err...yeah?'
'I just apologized.'
She knew he was expecting her to say 'I forgive you Draco' but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Instead she just nodded.
'Do you forgive me?'
'I guess...'
'That's a no then.'
'Draco, I need time to get over this. You may think it's no big deal, but you almost HIT me!'
Draco got up and left.
Hermione buried her head into the pillow next to her.
After a while of thinking of each other, they both fell into a restless sleep.
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
An' no one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain an' woe
Can show through
No one knows what it's like
To be mistreated
To be defeated
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows how to say
That they're sorry
An' don't worry
I'm not telling lies
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
In the close
All the gray
I'll stay if you
Go away
Concrete
Tall as the sky
Movement passin' me by
And you blush
What a rush
A reminisce
Cold crush
Next door
Ear to the wall
All the tension
Wait for the call
I wish I wish, I wish I wish
I wish it was all that easy
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: That's the end of Chapter Fifteen!
Will Hermione forgive Draco? Will she leave him forever? You'll just have to keep reading to find out!
Some of you wanted Ron and Harry to be nice, so they're acting better now.
About the whole Draco and Hermione break up, I'm sorry! I'm trying to make the story more interesting, and it can't just stay with them for the next seven chapters or something.
It's a Hermione/Draco fanfic, and it would be stupid if I kept them apart, they'll get together in their own time!
I WANT REVIEWS, LONG ONES PLEASE, I LIKE LONG ONES! PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT ME SPLITTING THE TWO UP! IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OF HOW THEY CAN GET BACK TOGETHER THAT WOULD BE EXCELLENT! PLEASE SHARE! R&R!
