Chapter 9) Romance On A Bridge

Hermione was just making her way downstairs, when the main doors opened.  A messenger was standing by the door with a piece of parchment.  A servant by the door collected the parchment and Hermione went over to him.  "That was sure fast…" she said, thinking that it was Harry who had replied.  When she took the parchment, she saw her name written on it, in an untidy scrawl, that wasn't Harry's.   She unrolled it and she saw whom it was from. 

Granger,

            I got this freaky note from someone who told me to stay away from you.  Do you have any idea who sent it? It sounded pretty menacing.  I just want to tell you to be careful where you go and who you are with.  Can you meet me tonight? Did you talk to your cousin? If you did, meet me at the Bridge that's close to your house, at midnight.  Be careful. 

                                                                                                            Draco Malfoy

"That's just weird…" she said.  She tucked the parchment in her pocket and she went to the hall to have a quick dinner.

 Hermione slipped on her robes and her shoes.  She had been training with Mama since after dinner.  She was learning concentration exercises where she would be able to pull out any hidden power in her body.   So far, she had managed to heal a hamster's broken leg and she felt elated at her success after only one day.  Despite the fact that it had wiped her out, she still wanted to meet Malfoy.  She made her way out, passing the guard at the door.  She told him that she was going for a stroll, and that she would be back in an hour or less.  He nodded to her as she made her way to the bridge. 

Malfoy was standing on the bridge waiting for Hermione.  He shivered in the coldness and tried to extract some more warmth for his robes.  He saw a figure making their way with their wand lighting, and he knew it to be Hermione.  When she reached to where he was standing, he saw how tired she looked. 

"You look terrible Granger, what the hell happened to you?" he asked.  She looked at him. 

"Oh, I was…training." She said. 

"Training?"

"Look Malfoy, I'm really tired and I don't have the patients to explain right now, so just tell me what this is about." She said irritably.  He pulled out the parchment and gave it to her.  She read the note and sighed. 

"So what's the verdict." He asked.  She looked at him and smiled.

"Malfoy.  You called me all the way out here at twelve o'clock in the night to show me this?" she asked waving the parchment around.   Her anger was building. 

"I'm concerned--"

"Oh, why all of a sudden?" she asked. 

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.  She put her hand to her head and tried to steady her self.  She fell forward and he caught her in his arms.  "Granger!" he said.  He was holding her around the waist with one hand and touching her face with the next.   

"Hmm…" she said.  She began to awaken and she opened her eyes.  The first thing she saw was Malfoy's eyes staring into hers.   "What happened?" she asked.    He sighed a sigh of relief. 

"You went crazy on me," he said.  She looked at him and then when she noticed the intensity at which he was staring at her she blushed and turned away. 

"I…I did?" she asked.  He nodded. 

"You were yelling at me and then you just…passed out…you scared the living hell out of me!" he said.  She looked at him.  "Are you ok?" he asked.  She nodded and she looked into his eyes. 

*What the hell am I doing? * She thought.

*What am I doing? * Thought Malfoy.  The place was quiet and they were alone.  And Malfoy was leaning forward and Hermione was looking at him.  Their eyes were locked and then their lips touched.

 10) Thinking of It all

Hermione was lying in bed and she couldn't fall asleep.  She had kissed Malfoy about twenty minutes ago and she still couldn't stop thinking of it.  She kept on twisting and turning but she couldn't get his taste out of her mouth.  He had a sort of peppermint taste in his mouth, and he kissed like a boss.  He was perfect.  And she was glad, for some reason, that her first real kiss was someone who knew how to kiss.  She sighed and then her mind wandered on the note that he had been sent.  Who had sent it to him? She began to brainstorm, and only one person came to her mind.  Lucie. 

^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

 "What the hell is wrong with me…" said Malfoy.  He was pacing his room.  "Kissing a Mudblood?" he said angrily.  He went over to his desk and banged his fist on the polished wood.   He sat down on the chair and then he realized something.  He had enjoyed the kiss.  She was fresh, and she had liked it too, despite the fact that she had run off after they had pulled away.  He wondered what she was doing now.  "Damnit." He muttered.  He picked up his quill and he began writing, as he had nothing to do.  He couldn't fall asleep, and he kept on tasting that cotton candy sweetness that was in her mouth.  He kept on remembering the way she looked at him and the way that she had passionately returned his kiss.  He felt the softness of her lips.  "Fuck." He said.  He continued writing on the parchment, not knowing what he was writing at all.

The day was sunny and warm.  There were breezes blowing and Hermione was sitting out by the lake.  Lucie hadn't come down at all and she was alone, except for a few people.  She looked across at the surface and she felt the sun on her face, which was quite good.  She had received a letter from Harry saying that they would be able to come for two days.  That was good enough for her.  She decided that she would leave Lucie alone and she would continue her training with Mama.   She was also trying to forget Malfoy, but apparently he wouldn't let her. 

"Granger," he said.  She turned around and she saw him towering over her. 

"Oh, Malfoy, hi." She said nervously.    He sat down next to her. 

"Listen, I'm sorry about what happened last night." He said.  She rubbed her arm.

"It's no problem.  I'm sorry too," she said.  He nodded and looked out at the lake. 

"It looks great.  Wanna take a swim?" he asked.  She looked at him and he grinned. "Don't worry, I don't bite." He said pulling off his shirt.   She looked at him and then she decided to go.  They raced each other into the water and splashed all around like a bunch of kids.  Who would think that a day would come when she would be swimming with Malfoy?  They goofed around a bit and then he began chasing her in the water.  Hermione ran toward the shore, but he caught up with her and caught her around the waist.  He spun her around and she was laughing wildly, until she realized where she was and whom she was with.  When he let her go the faced each other.  "Malfoy I can't do this, I'm sorry." She said.  He looked at her. 

"What do you mean?" he asked as she walked away. 

"We have hated each other from the moment we set eyes on each other.  You have humiliated me and called me names in front of almost the whole school on countless occasions.  And what am I doing? I'm here, in Paris, with you, at the lake, having fun!!" she shouted angrily.  He walked up to her and put his hands on her shoulders. 

"Aren't you at least going to give me a chance?" he asked.  She looked at him and looked into his eyes.   "I'm suddenly not a human being who has…feelings?" he asked.  She looked down because she knew that he was right.  She looked at him and sighed. 

"Fine.  It all depends on how you treat me tonight at the dinner party.  We'll be at your side." She said.  She wrenched free and went to the shore.  She gathered her stuff and left.

Glancing at the sky

And looking into your eyes

Gave me a great peace.
