"Whats all this about Draco," asked Narcissa in a serious tone, that he'd never heard before.
"Nothing mum, god, keep out of my business." Draco walked out of the room, in the direction he saw Hermione go. He pushed a girl out of the way.
"Move out the way red head." Ginny fell into someone's arms.
"What was that for Malfoy, don't touch me again." Draco ignored her and continued to walk out on the porch. He looked around. --Where is she, she ran out here. -- She wasn't there. Draco walked slowly down to the beach, looking in every direction to find Hermione.
"Granger, what are you doing?" Draco asked. She was sitting on the edge of the water and sand saturated in water.
"Leave me alone Malfoy, I thought you were someone else, who actually cared about something rather then himself."
"If you thought actually instead of just saying shit Granger, then you would have realised that it was me." Draco shook his head. --God Granger doesn't know when to shut the hell up, -- Draco thought. He was trying hard not to say it and luckily he didn't.
There was silence between the two teenagers as Hermione sat there still in the water.
"Oh get up Granger, Stop being stupid." Draco walked over to her side and was going to give her a hand.
"Malfoy I don't want to, I don't need your hand and I don't want you." Hermione's face grew redder each second.
"You know you look cute when your angry." -- Oh god what am I saying, Granger cute, get real, well I do have to get her to like me and if I have to then I will. –
"I don't need compliments from you Draco, so piss off."
"Oh so if you want to sit here all alone. I'll be happy to, remember we had a good time." Draco walked off and left Hermione sitting on the wet cold beach, in her brand new dress. --This is going to be harder then I thought; hmm I'll try when school starts least I know im living with her. –
Hermione's POV
--Oh god, what the hell happened to me, he was right we did have a good time well that's was until I found out it was him, if he just stayed that sensitive or should I say less mean to me it be fine, but no he can't do that. And now what will I do sharing a room with him after we kissed, how could I of let that happen and after one night too. – Hermione watched as Draco left and entered the house once more. She sat there dreaming that that never happened, but in her heart it was the truth. She knew she had to tell someone, but who?
Hermione got up with her dress continuing to drip of salty water. She took off her shoes and held them in her hand.
--I know, someone I don't know, someone who can't be here. – She ran into the house with water leaking all over the place. As she ran through the hall as faces stared at her from every direction.
"Hermione wha-wha-? Hermione ignored them and ran continually in to her room. She ran to her draw and took out a small box. She got her wand in her hand and mumbled something as she pointed it at the box. A computer suddenly appeared big and bold on her computer desk. She plugged it in and connected it to the phone line in the house: Internet. She pulled up her chair to the desk and sat down facing the computer with her fingers ready on the keyboard.
"Finally some one to talk to," as the computer started up she grabbed her wand and pointed it at the door. It suddenly was locked and couldn't be opened. She logged onto the Internet and onto her favourite Buddy's list with people she didn't know or thought she didn't know. Her name was "Heartstolen"
"Yes," she said quietly to herself. Ding. A person started to talk to Hermione.
Truthhidden: Hey how are you?
Heartstolen: I would be good if I could talk to someone
Truthhidden: would you now.
A smile appeared on Hermione's once angry face.
Truthhidden: What may I ask is wrong?
Heartstolen: well, it was my birthday party and well you don't know who he is, Draco Malfoy, he tricked me he played me, he was being nice to me.
Truthhidden: Whats wrong with being nice to a young lady
Heartstolen: well, hey how do you know Im a girl?
Truthhidden: it just seems like it.
Heartstolen: right….
Truthhidden: are you going to answer me?
Heartstolen: hmmm I should.
Truthhidden: go on….
Heartstolen: well he's hated me ever since I started at school and suddenly changed his ways.
Truthhidden: maybe you've changed and he's started to like you.
Heartstolen: ha I don't think so
Truthhidden: im just trying to help.
Heartstolen: just forget about it, im so stupid to bother.
Heartstolen signed off. Hermione chucked her wand at her bed as small sparks flew everywhere. She jumped up and was going to change in her wardrobe. When she walked in she tripped over a pair of shoes and hit her wrist on the metal shelf as she fell. It was bleeding badly, all over her clothes and different shoes. She couldn't move she felt so weak with blood gushing out of her wrist. She grabbed an old shirt off one of the piles and wrapped it round her arm tightly so it would try and stop it bleeding. Last she knew it, she was falling asleep with her head resting on another pile of t-shirts.
Hermione woke up to screams the next morning. She realised that she was still in the cupboard lying on the floor. The door suddenly opened with bright light shining in through it.
"She's in her,' shouted Hilary so loud that Hermione had to block her ears Hermione quickly covered her still seeping bloody arm with shirts off the shelves.
"Come Hermione we have to get going we don't want you to be late, hurry up." Hillary was about to pick up all the shirts that were on top of Hermione's arm.
"Hey just leave it I can manage, please just get out of my room." Hillary then left the room in a grudge. Hermione got up and chucked all the bloody shirts back on the shelves. The wound was still open and dripping blood every so often. She went to her top draw and pulled out a handkerchief. Then she took off her shoe and placed it on her bed. Quickly she untied the shoelace from the shoe. She placed the handkerchief on the wound and tied it with the shoelace. Hermione gave a little yelp of pain as she tied it tighter. She then looked at her trunk; everything was packed neatly inside it, everything except her computer. She took her computer with her everywhere, it was like someone's personal diary but to her it was something to tell people you wouldn't know to get stuff off your mind. She grabbed her wand from under her pillow and once again, pointed it at the computer, which it then started to shrink. She placed it carefully on top in her trunk as well as well as her special Tarot cards Ron had given her for her birthday. She shut her trunk and went down stairs.
"Bye Mother, bye father, see you maybe at Christmas that's if I decide to come home then." Hermione then walked onto the train, Her friends were in none of the cabins.
"Both head girl and boy are to stay in the heads compartment until instructed to leave. The compartment is situated at the end of the train." The announcement faded away as Hermione started walking towards her compartment. When Hermione reached there she pushed opened the door and was surprised that Draco wasn't already there. She sat down on one of the big comfy chairs and because she didn't sleep much, began to fall into a doze.
Dream….
"Draco, why would you do this to me, of all people I wouldn't expect you to." Hermione was standing in front of Draco on a dark beach; the tide was coming in fast.
"It's because I love you Hermione." "Love me, why would you love me, when you supposably hated me for 6 years already." Draco lifted his head towards Hermione's eyes. "Listen to me, you're not safe at you parents house, and the only way to keep you safe is by kidnapping you and taking care of you myself." "But why Draco why?"
Hermione's eyes beamed up towards the ceiling. The train was moving.
"Granger, typical, hmm but one thing I want to ask why were you saying, 'But why Draco why' in your sleep it was starting to become scary." Hermione turned to Draco and blushed.
"I was not, you're lying don't put words in my mouth." Draco had a smirk on his face.
"Tisk, tisk Granger, I thought I was someone you hated, but I guess I'm wrong,"
"I do hate you, you're lying, stop it." Hermione lifted up her had to hit him in the stomach and as she did her sleeve rolled down. Draco noticed the handkerchief on her arm; he stared at it in shock.
"What happened to you Granger, who did that?" This was the second time Hermione noticed a change in Draco; he was concerned.
"It's nothing, none of you business I mean." The smirk grew larger on his face and he raised his eyebrows. He walked over to her side and touched the Handkerchief.
"Don't touch me," Hermione said quickly pulling her arm away.
"You know your much nicer when you asleep." Draco sat down on the couch next to her.
"Hmmm, have you ever thought it was because you weren't harassing me there."
"Well it seemed like I was still there, didn't it Hermione." Draco must have realised what he said and then turned away.
"What did you just call me?" Hermione said in an unusual tone.
"Granger, what else would I call you," Draco said embarrassed.
"No you didn't, see your lying to me again." Hermione said with her fierce tone coming back in.
"Ok if you don't want me to lie, I will; just for you, be put under a truth spell and you can ask any question you like." Hermione was confused, but she nodded to agreement.
Draco got out his wand and spoke words with his wand pointing at his head.
"Did it work?" asked Hermione curiously,
"Yes, it did, im not that dumb you know."
"God I was just asking." Hermione stared at Draco in a disappointed look.
"Well go on then, do you worst."
"Do your worst hey, let's see, start off with something easy, huh, got it," Hermione said after a minute of thinking to herself, "Why do you hate Harry and Ron so much."
"That's an easy one, it's because they have you, they have people who respect them and of cause because they hate me." Hermione gazed into his eyes, -- he had told the truth, but what does he mean they have me. -- She wondered.
"Ok…. second one, personal this time, why did you come and dance with me last night?"
"Oh shit I new you'd asked that one, ok damn I have to tell the truth, ok I made a bet with Blaise and he told me to make you fall in love with me, but please wait, I changed my mind I did it because I wanted too." Hermione stood up.
"What I was a bet, is that all you think I am?"
"No, just listen to me." Hermione was thinking to herself. -- Breath Hermione, you can stand this. --
"Ok, Im listening," Hermione tried to pay attention.
"Well, it started off like that but then I don't know what happened."
"Oh my god this is shit im not buying it, why don't you make a bet on Pansy instead of me, why don't you see if you can make her loose weight or something I don't know just leave me out of your life, I want nothing to do with you, I don't even know why im talking to you civilly, oh Fuck you. Im going to patrol the compartments." She adjusted her gold badge tightly onto her robe.
"Hey, I'll come with you. Draco said running to the door.
"No Malfoy I think you've hurt me enough for one day, don't you think."
She walked out the door and strolled down the compartments to find at least Ron and Harry.
Draco's POV
-- What am I thinking, damn I blame Blaise for starting this thing, I know what will get Granger's mind confused if I apologize. How would she react? -- Draco gave a small sarcastic laugh. "Let's see how Granger reacts to this." Draco walked out of the Heads compartment and down the corridor between all compartments. At last the 2nd from the very end Draco spotted a Brunette Straight haired Figure that was standing at the door of the Compartment.
"Hermione," She turned around and faced Draco.
"Oh god, what do you want know."
"I've come to ap-Apologize." She gave a small a laugh, as did the rest of the compartment now standing up and peering around the door.
"Ha, apologise, hmm I never thought that was something you would do, ever." – God I can't stand this. –
"Well, if you don't want me to then don't listen but, I am sorry for what happened at your party, even know I wasn't acting, but I suppose you don't give a shit in what I have to say so good bye." He walked off back in the direction of the Heads compartment until someone grabbed him on the shoulder.
"Draco," It was Blaise, "Hows the bet going with Miss Granger.,"
"Well actually Blaise it It's progressing slowly." Draco lied.
"Oh but I heard you two yelling before was that about love."
"No, that was personal, family matters," he lied again.
"Sure," Blaise raised one eyebrow, then left and went back into his compartment.
"God, why doesn't anyone believe me," He hit himself in the head and then headed back to the head compartment, this time without being disturbed.
Hermione's POV
Hermione had walked into Harry, Ron, Ginny and This new girl's Compartment – hey who is she- Hermione wondered as she sat next to Harry.
"Hi, my name is Patrina, how are you?" The girl asked like she was reading Hermione's name.
"Oh, um hi my name's Hermione, im fine thank um you?"
"Yeah not to bad I recon, oh yeah im new I moved from America to England, but I went to a magic school there to, but I think this one is better, well from what I've heard about from these three." She looked around at Ginny, Harry and stopped for a while a Ron. Ron blushed and had turned as red as his hair.
"I see," Hermione said then looked at Ron weirdly. He turned away quickly and began to stare out the window.
"Did you here what Malfoy did at the party?" she asked Ginny who was listen intensely.
"What, do you mean to you?" Ginny stared back at Hermione seriously with the expression let's talk outside.
"Yeah hey come for a walk." She stared back at Ginny as if to say yes please come.
"Ok sure," Ginny got up and so did Hermione, they then walked out into the corridor and shut the compartment door.
"Lets go to the toilets to talk," Ginny said quietly.
"Ok but come to the heads one they're nicer."
"But what if Malfoy over heres?"
"Forget about him, he won't here anything, if he does then he will know how I feel about it."
"Ok." Ginny said nodding her head at the same time. Ginny followed Hermione down towards he head compartment. Hermione pushed open the door and walked through to the bathroom ignoring everything.
"Granger listen to me, please I said I was sorry, god why don't you talk to me." Ginny just smiled at the sight of Draco. Malfoy smiled back but stopped as Hermione walked out of the room.
"Oh my god Hermione, how can you not forgive him, he looks totally hot this year." Ginny said as they entered the bathroom.
"Ginny, you've said that each year, you don't see my part of it, he hurt my feelings, he's hated me for so long."
"Ok, whatever Hermione, now tell me what happened."
"Ok it started like this…" Hermione's told her every detail, what happened that night everything up until she awoke this morning.
"God Hermione, you could of told me earlier, how could he do that to you, but you must admit that if you knew who he was in the first place you would never of accepted the dance, and the kiss." Ginny winked at her.
"Yeah but-"
"But what Hermione, you no what to do, a you say sorry and it works out fine or b, you tell him to get lost and never speak to him again and remember this each night you go to sleep." Ginny gave Hermione a hug and whispered, "You know what to do, follow you heart."
"Yeah," Hermione busted into tears as Ginny's arms were around her. Bang. The door swung open and Draco stood there puffing.
"What's wrong, hey Hermione." She lifted up her head as she heard her name being actually spoken by Draco again. –God, I really like her- thought Draco as he walked over to Ginny and Hermione.
"Draco she's fine, just needs a friend." Draco stood there just staring at them without blinking.
"But, Hermione I am your friend."
"Friend, friend god I thought you were a little smarter."
"Give me some respect Granger, do you see the point you don't care if I have feelings either, just throw stuff back at me when you feel like it, yeah that be right always thinks she's right not letting people change from who they were to who they are,"
"Malfoy I know who you are, the person who hates me and who always will hate me, as long as you keep away from me I'll be fine."
"But Granger I can't do that," He winked at her…
