I just want to thank Vic92091 for reviewing again… hehehehehe…
Disclaimer: JK owns every character here. I just own the plotline.
After drying her tears, Hermione decided to sleep. But she can't sleep because she knew that she'll just dream of Draco. So she decided to go out instead in the afternoon. She took her coat and bag. It was a sunny but windy day.
She walked toward the park. She passed a few fancy restaurants she and Harry used to dine in on special occasions. She didn't expect to see someone in one of those restaurants. Harry is with Ginny.
"Ginny and Harry?" Hermione asked herself. "I thought she loved Draco." Clouds suddenly made the sun disappear.
Harry was holding Ginny's hand. Ginny smiled at him sweetly.
This broke Hermione into pieces. She ran away and headed into the park, crying. No one noticed her tears since it started to rain. Everyone in the park had umbrellas except her. She was drenched until someone noticed her.
"Hermione? Is that you?" someone said. Hermione looked up. She was o surprised. It was no other than Draco Malfoy. "It is you, Herm." Then, he noticed her tears. "You're crying? Why? What's wrong?"
Hermione wiped her eyes. "It's nothing, Draco."
"There is something wrong isn't it?" Draco said. Then, he saw her clothes. "Stand up, Hermione." Hermione was too sad to object so she obeyed. Draco handed Hermione the umbrella for a moment and took off his coat. He placed his coat over Hermione's shoulder. Then, he took the umbrella. "There. We better find some place dry or we'll both get sick. Do you know a place near here?"
Hermione shook her head. She didn't want to go home at that moment.
Draco answered, "We better go to my place. It's just about six blocks away. I hope you can walk that far."
Hermione nodded. Draco took her hand and guided her all the way. Hermione just let him take her. He led her into his grey apartment. "We're here."
Hermione asked, "You live here alone?"
Draco nodded. "Yeah."
Draco handed Hermione the umbrella again and opened the door. Draco let Hermione enter first. Draco closed the umbrella and placed it on the cabinet. He also took his jacket and hanged it in the cabinet also.
Draco said, "You better remove your clothes, Hermione. You can remove it in the bathroom near the kitchen. I'll get you dry clothes."
Hermione removed her wet coat and headed to the bathroom. She entered the green tiled bathroom and removed all her clothes and underwear. She wrapped herself in Draco's bathrobe. She inhaled the scent of Draco's bathrobe. "It smells so heavenly. It's the scent I miss."
Hermione went out of the bathroom, still in his bathrobe. She saw his living room. It had muggle appliances like television and a component. She saw some pictures on a lamp table. Her picture on their yearbook was there. She stared at her picture.
Draco came back with a green shirt, and shorts. He was surprised to find Hermione there, in his bathrobe. "Hermione…" he stammered. Hermione looked at him. "Here. This will keep you dry for a moment."
Hermione walked toward him. She stood in front of him. Then, she touched his face and kissed him. Draco dropped the clothes and embraced her. After a minute, they let each other go.
"Hermione… is it okay for you to do that?" Draco asked.
She nodded and kissed him again. Draco kissed her back and he started to open his bathrobe on her. They kissed while they walk toward Draco's bedroom. Draco removed his shirt and continued kissing Hermione. Hermione kissed back.
She slept soundly beside the man she loved the most. Draco was embracing her while she slept.
Harry got home after meeting Ginny at the restaurant. He can't find Hermione anywhere. So he waited and waited and waited until he fell asleep on the couch with an empty stomach. He did prepare dinner but he wanted to eat with Hermione.
Hermione woke up in Draco's arms. She kissed him. Draco said. "Hi, Hermione."
"Hi, Draco." Hermione said. "What time is it?"
"It's ten in the evening, honey." Draco said, kissing her neck.
"Wait." She suddenly said. "I got to go home." She suddenly stood up. She found out that she was naked so she took the blanket with her.
But then, Draco pulled her back. "Don't go now. Not now that I finally have you in my arms."
Hermione pulled back. "Draco, I really got to go. Someone's waiting for me."
"It's Harry, right?"
Hermione nodded. "I'm engaged to him five years ago." She stood up.
"You're still not married? Why?"
"Because I can't stop thinking about you, about us." Hermione answered as she walked away.
Draco was surprised. He wasn't able to stop her from leaving. He even heard the door close. 'She still loves me all this time.'
Author's Notes: Wow… this turned out quite well… I didn't expect that it would end up like this. Please review.
