Chapter Nine- Can't Have Both
Hermione woke up in Draco's arms early in the morning. At first she was slightly disoriented, but then remembered last night. She smiled to herself and gave him a small kiss on
his cheek, careful as not to wake him up. She rose from the bed, took a shower, and went to her room to dress herself. When she was done putting her bra on she turned to her
closet, but found Draco standing there with his bed sheets wrapped around his waist. He looked like a god in Hermione's eyes. She gave a small gasp and he grinned. "Morning" he
said. "Morning" she said, "Did you sleep well?" he asked with a small smile playing on his lips. She blushed a little, "Very well, thank you". He came forward and wrapped his arms
around her. "I'll take a shower and we can go to breakfast" he said, kissed her forehead, and turned to the bathroom. She resumed dressing but stopped abruptly. She couldn't
show up with Draco in the Great Hall! She was still with Harry too, and Draco knew that! She waited in the living room till Draco was ready. When he came, she stood up and
sighed "Draco, I'm still with Harry" she said. His smile quickly left his face "Aren't you going to break it up and be with me?" he said. Hermione bit her lower lip. "Draco…I don't
know what to do, I really don't. I mean, I like him so much and he hasn't done anything wrong and…there's you…too…I mean, I also like you a lot too and I just…" she didn't
know what to say. She was screwing up AGAIN things with Draco. He looked at her and then lowered his eyes "That's fine, then. Stay with Potter" he said with a defeated tone.
He made his way to the portrait, but Hermione quickly grabbed his arm with tears in her eyes "Draco, please! You don't understand that I need you!" she cried. He looked at her
and took hold of her shoulders "Then leave Potter!" he pleaded. She was crying now, "I need him too" she whispered. Draco backed away and sighed. "I just don't understand
you, Hermione. Look, I don't know about what you want, but it's me or him. That's all there is" and he kissed her cheek and left her standing in the middle of the living room,
confused and in deep thought.
A/N: Very short chapter, I know, butI have a lot of essays for summer school, so even if its little, I'm trying to post a new chapter every day. Come on guys, leave a review and let me know what you think (If you're going to critizice, let it be constructive critisism)
