Chapter 11:The Admirer

Draco just stayed in his bed for the next three days. Hermione didn't visit him, not once. He laid in bed thinking about the information he had gotten nights before.

Flashback

"BECAUSE YOU COULD BE MY BROTHER DRACO. You could very well be my damn brother." She turned on her foot and ran out of the hospital leaving a stunned Draco to fall back on to his bed.

End

He wouldn't accept it, there was no way that this could happen. Every possible reason why it couldn't be true ran through his head. She's a mudblood, I'm a pureblood. She's a Gryffindor, she's a brunette, she's nothing like me, were too good of friends, she likes me, I like her. "I love her." 'I just can't sit here and do nothing.' He thought. Then Draco Malfoy started devising a plan.

Draco got out of the hospital the next day. He walked through the halls with his usual arrogance, even though his mind was racing over what to do with Hermione. He wasn't gonna let her go without a fight. That whole week Hermione avoided Draco like the plague. They never passed each other in their own dorm. She sat on the whole opposite of the classroom and avoided any eye contact with him at all, even in the halls.

Draco sat in his room writing a letter to his mother when he heard a knock at the portrait. He walked over and opened it only to find a dozen roses and a note addressed to Hermione. He picked them up and carried them to her door. Hermione gasped when she looked up at him, "Oh my goodness."

"It's seems you have a secret admirer, mudblood."

"They're not from you?" She sounded disappointed.

"Hell no, I have my own ways on how to get girls."

"Well give them here then."

Draco walked over to her and handed them to her, she took the note and read it and then looked back up at Draco. "What?"

"Well what does it say?"

"Oh, Hold on." She passed him the card.

My dearest Hermione,

You are very special to me, whether you know it or not. I felt that you deserved someone who really cared about you, so here I am. Although I am not ready to reveal myself to you, I will someday in hopes that I could have you as my own.

Your Romeo

"Romeo, ha! What a dope Granger. Have fun with him, night."

Hermione watched him walk out of her room and then lay back on her bed with her flowers.

"Wow, someone likes me." She smiled to herself and then conjured up a vase for her flowers.

Back in his room, Draco sent off his letter to his mother. He tried to sleep but all he kept doing was tossing and turning. He couldn't take his mind off of what his mom would say to his letter.

Dear Mother,

I heard a claim the other day that I was related to a Mudblood. I would like you to shed some light on the fact that she could possibly be my sister, her name is Hermione Granger. Thank you.

Your Son,

Draco

He was also worried about his situation with Hermione. He had come up with some ways to try and get her to come back to him.

Hermione walked into the Head's common room the next day and saw Draco staring into the fire. When he noticed her presence he got up and walked over to her. He took her hand and kissed it and then brought out a single white rose from behind his back.

"Would you do me the pleasure of eating dinner with me tonight?"

"Uh..sure, but Draco.."

"Not now dear, now we eat."

Draco waved his hand over the table in the study and their dinner appeared. He pulled out the chair for Hermione and she sat down.

"Draco, we really shouldn't be doing this."

"Doing what Hermione, it's just an innocent dinner."

"I know what you're trying to do, and it's not going to work."

"Why not?"

"You know why."

"It's not true."

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do."

Hermione stood up, "No Draco, you don't. I can't do this, WE can't do this, so just give up. JUST GIVE IT UP!"

Hermione ran into her room and slammed her door.

Draco threw his glass at the bookshelf, "Dammit." He walked over to his room and grabbed Hermione MP3 Player. He had put a song on it that he wanted to dedicate to her, so he left it in front of her door with a note.

Later on when she knew Draco would be at Quidditch practice Hermione stepped out of her room, narrowly missing her MP3 player that was on the ground. She picked it up and read the note attached:

Thanks for letting me borrow it. I added a song for you.

She put the headphones on as she headed for Gryffindor Tower. A song called Lose it All came on and she knew it was the one Draco had left for her to hear.

"Take what you need
'Cause I can't hold my breath
Say what you feel
'Cause I got nothing left"

"Oh no." She wasn't sure she wanted to listen anymore, but she couldn't shut it off. 'I really need to talk to Harry.'

"I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it if it's wrong or right
And if I lose it all
There'll be nothing left to lose
And I would take the fall
'Cause knowing you are out there breathing
It's so wonderful"

A tear rolled down her cheek as she kept walking.

"It's a chance I'll take even if I break
And I lose it all, if I lose it all
It wouldn't matter anyway

Don't change a thing
You're perfect as you are
Time has a way
Time is all I've got"

She didn't even know it but she had started to run.

"If my heart should shatter watching you
That'd be one less thing I have to prove

Heaven will be waiting
When I fall into your open arms
I'll believe you'll find me there
You'll find me there"

Hermione reached the Fat Lady's portrait and mumbled the password. She walked into the Gryffindor Common and saw Harry sitting on the couch, with his arm around a certain Weasley.

"Excuse me for interrupting."

Ginny Weasley jumped up first and then Harry stared at Hermione wide-eyed, "I'll see you guys tomorrow." Then Ginny turned and ran to the Girl's dormitories.

Hermione walked over to where Harry was, "What was that all about Harry?"

"Oh um.."

"I didn't know you liked Ginny."

"I..well.."

"You don't need to explain Harry. I really need to talk to you know though."

Harry looked relieved, "All right, go on then."

"Well you see there's this boy that I like, but there is a really big reason that we can't be together, well more than one actually. Anyways, we're so different but I want to be with him so bad."

"Hermione, are you talking about Draco?"

"How did you know?"

"Well I am your best friend," He rolled his eyes, "and well I am Harry Potter."

Hermione laughed, "Yes, I guess so. Draco and I, we're so different Harry, but we want to be together. I know that I am the only one to see this side of him, but I don't care. I told him we couldn't be together, but I don't think he's gonna let go so easy."

"Then be with him Hermione."

"I can't."

Harry took her hand, "If you want something bad enough Hermione, you can have it."

Hermione smiled at him, "Thank you Harry, I'll remember that. Oh yeah, I got flowers from a secret admirer."

"O really? That sounds exciting."

"Oh yes, Draco was mad though. So tell me about you and Ginny.

Hermione spent another hour in Gryffindor tower while Harry explained about him and Ginny. They weren't together yet, as he said. He needed to talk to Ron first.

"Harry, you don't think it was Ron, that sent me the flowers do you?"

"I don't know Hermione."

Hermione stood up and gave Harry and hug, "Thanks Harry see you later."

When Hermione reached the Head's portrait, there was a box of chocolates on the ground.

"Love give me strength."

She smiled to herself after reading the note and walked in the room. Draco was sitting on the couch and frowned when he saw the chocolate in her arms.

"Aw, more from your Romeo, mudblood."

"Like you care. Goodnight Malfoy."

Draco watched her enter her room and then sighed to himself. 'This is going to be a long year.'

Danish Pastry: Thank you for the comment. I feel special. Yes i did read your whole review lol and Yeah I guess it's understandable for people not to realize that J.K. is just giving the characters more depth. I'm glad she did though, but I hope he does end up going to Hogwarts for something. I'm still on the fence with the whole Snape thing. I really don't know what was going on between the lines, and I have heard people saying that R.A.B. is who you think it is.
