Chapter 7: Confrontation with Herself.

Hermione just sat and stared at her father for what seemed like hours. She fought the urge to cry, scream and just completely lash out at her father.

"I'm sorry sweetheart." He moved to give her a hug.

"No, don't. I just, I don't know, could I just be alone for awhile?"

"Of course, I'm sorry Hermione. I know you really like this boy."

Hermione watched her father leave and then covered up under her comforter. She pushed the pillow into her head and screamed into it. She put a silencing charm on her room and just started crying. She stood up and picked up a lamp and threw it at the wall. Then she ripped open her pillow. She threw her stuffed animals at her door and collapsed on the floor. "Why! Why did this happen to me." She yelled at her father through her tears, "How could you do this to me? I LOVE HIM, how could you do this to me?" She pounded her fists against the floor and screamed at her father.

"Why, why, why. DAMMIT. I HATE YOU! I hate you and I love him. I love you Draco. I have to see him, I have to see him." She searched frantically around her room for her broom. She went searching through her books to find where Malfoy Manor was located. She found it in a book that contained information about Dark Magic, "Figures."

She stood on her windowsill and kicked off. She got into the air and started flying through the night sky. "Don't look down, don't look down Hermione." She pressured herself to stay calm while flying and about two hours later she saw the outline of Malfoy Manor. She flew over the gates that surrounded it and circled the manor. She looked inside the windows to try and find Draco's room.

The Manor was so huge. It had at least seven wings and there was only three people living in the house! She finally came to a window that had a light on. She dropped down some in the air and she peeked over the windowsill into the room. She saw Draco on the opposite side of the room at a desk. She watched him from the side and he seemed very concentrated on something. The door to his room was closed, and she decided just to go for it.

Hermione inched up and knocked on the window. He looked up startled and walked over to the window. He opened it and just stared at her.

"Well do you mind if I come in?"

"Yes, no, I mean come on in."

She flew inside and got off her broom. She placed the broom beside his bed as she sat down on it.

"I'm sorry Draco, I just needed to see you."

"Is there something the matter?"

"No, no, I just really wanted to see you." She smiled to him trying to think of why she lied to him, "Do you mind if I have a hug?"

He smiled at her and shook his head. She walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He responded by hugged her around the waist. She thought to herself, 'There's no way he could be my brother. No way in hell.'

"You know, my father would probably use an unforgivable if he knew you were here."

"I know. Do you mind?"

"Not at all. You can stay if you want."

"I'd like that, don't worry I'll leave early."

He smiled at her and pulled down the comforter on his bed. It revealed his silk black sheets, much like his room at Hogwarts. She crawled into his bed and then he got in behind her. They cuddled underneath the covers and fell asleep together.

Hermione woke up the next morning completely unaware of where she was. She turned her head and saw Draco. As soon as she saw him reality came back to her. 'Oh my gosh, he might be my brother.' She slowed crawled out of bed and began crying. 'Why me, why me?' She mounted her broom and kicked off from his windowsill. She was still crying.

She arrived back at her house and cried herself to sleep. She had never felt this way about anyone before. She wanted to be with him so bad. Why did the world seem to be so against their relationship? No one would ever understand our relationship. Wait, do we even have a relationship? All these thoughts went through Hermione's head as she slept until noon that day.

Draco

Draco woke up that morning alone in his bed. He hadn't slept that well since, well since a long time ago. He groaned when he realized she was gone and opened his eyes. 'I wish I knew what was wrong with her. There was no way someone like Hermione Granger was going to fly over two hours to come see me. Well I flew all that way to see her, but she's Hermione she hates flying.'

"But I love her. Wait I don't love her, I can't."

Draco shook his head and got dressed to head downstairs. He met his mother and father in the dining room for breakfast.

"Good morning dear, only two weeks until your 7th year at Hogwarts starts."

"I know mother, when are we going to Diagon Alley?"

"Today."

"Oh, are you going to be with us father?"

"No, I have some business to take care of."

"Of course."

"Draco, go on and get ready now, we have a long day a head of us and a lot of books to get, I just got your list this morning."

He nodded at his mother and walked back upstairs. He put on a plain black robe over jeans and a black T-shirt and headed back down stairs. There was no reason for him to dress up. Well maybe one...

"Draco let's go, the carriage is waiting." He followed his mother to the carriage and they set off to Diagon Alley.

Hermione

Mr. and Mrs. Granger walked into Flourish and Botts with Hermione for her books. There was a lot of books that she needed this year, and she wasn't sure why. She had run into Harry and Ron while in there and together they all shopped around. Her parents went off with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to talk about Muggle things.

"You look good today Hermione." Ron smiled at her.

"Thank you. I had a stylist show me how to straighten my hair and I got my ears pierced. It's not much, but I like it."

"It wonderful." Harry said to her.

They walked to an ice cream shop together and ordered some ice cream sundaes. Soon after their sundaes arrived Hermione and Ron's parents showed up. They all sat around and talked for awhile until Hermione saw Draco walk in. He smiled and started walking towards her, he only stopped when he saw her shaking her head. He motioned his mother to come inside and they sat down together at a table. Hermione stared at him for the longest time.

Her father noticed her looking at something and looked in the direction of her stare. His jaw dropped when he saw Narcissa Malfoy. She looked up as he saw her and their eyes met for a moment before she turned away. He shook his head and turned back to his wife and the conversation with those around him. Hermione stared on, looking at Draco with a look of longing. "He could never be my brother."

Hermione turned back and looked into the eyes of her father. His eyes showed apology. She pushed away from the table and ran out of the Ice Cream shop. She started crying and she ducked inside an alley between to buildings. Inside the ice cream shop her father reassured her friends she was only upset about a fight they had had and told them not to follow. Immediately following that he saw a young blond-haired boy walk out the door. He knew then it was Draco, the boy who could possibly be his only son.

Draco found Hermione in an alley way on her hands and knees crying.

"Shhh.." He tried to comfort her, "Hermione it's okay, I'm here now."

"Draco, I'm fine. My father just upset me." She couldn't bring herself to look at him. "Besides we can't be seen together Draco, go, go on. I'll see you back at school."

She pushed Draco back into the open only leaving him confused. Only the night before, she came to him wanting comfort and to sleep with him. Now she was telling him to go away. 'Something's not right here.'
