Stay the Night
Chapter 7
That's right, thought Hermione. Take a sip of that potion. She honestly thought that she would get caught. Draco Malfoy, being one of the most powerful wizards in all of the Wizarding World had to take precautions about what he drank and who he let into his house. I guess he must trust me.

Over the rim of his cup, Draco suspiciously eyed Hermione. She was never a good liar, he thought as he smartly pretended to sip his drink.
"Aha! You are so gullible Malfoy- and I say Malfoy with the utmost dislike. Didn't you think I might put Veritaserum in your drink. This is classic, monumental even- I have finally gotten you! So, shall we let the questioning begin? Ha, like you have a choice!" She was beaming with pride at her trickery.
I knew it. Draco retained his composure. He then rolled his eyes as if he had been tricked- trying all the while to hide the smirk on his face. "Alright, Granger, you've got me. What in the hell do you want to know." I hope this works.
"Well, down to business. Why did you leave me that morning?" That did it.
"Because I fucking wanted to Granger! Can't you just let sleeping dogs lie! Honestly, what in your life is so screwed up that you have to know the miniscule details of everything? To come into my house and put Veritaserum in my drink like I don't know you enough to see when you THINK you are being sneaky. Bloody hell Granger, aren't you supposed to be first in our class? Are you that stupid!" The blood rushed to Draco's head in a fit of anger as he yelled at Hermione, who now had tears in her eyes. Oh hell, what have I done now, he thought with a feeling of guilt creeping into his stomach.
Hermione's voice was low and accusing as she spoke. "You are a git. I tried to deny it- I tried to say you left me after you took my virginity because you had a pressing reason. You did not talk to me for three years, and one morning you just apparate into my flat. Do you understand how badly you broke my heart. Do you get it? Do you fucking get it?" She ended at a loud yell with tears steadily streaming down her face.
"I want to ask you a question Granger. How was I supposed to talk to you if you fucking left for America, France, Russia, wherever the hell you went? You obviously didn't want to be found, or you would have told your little friends where you'd gone off to. Why I left that morning was MY business, not yours; and if you had bothered to stay at the graduation ceremony maybe five minutes after it had finished, maybe I could have seen you and announced our engagement to the whole school. But NO, when Granger doesn't understand something, she runs away from it. How were you a part of the Golden Trio- how did you even fight the Dark Lord if you can't even handle LIFE!" He was panting after such a long rant. Anger was raging through Draco's blood, and in one second
POP!
He was gone.

Hermione stayed in his kitchen for a good ten minutes, just looking into space. I can't believe this- I can't believe this. All this time. She opened all of his cupboards looking for a strong drink, and after a few glasses of straight vodka, she apparated to her flat, where more persistent letters from her 'friends' were waiting for her.
A/N: Well that was a long wait, for not such a long chapter. I can't help but make them short, but I'm trying! This time I ran into some trouble with the Post-Classical civilizations, but school is school and I am leading towards the GRADUATE side. . .Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to leave reviews with comments/suggestions/etc
