Chapter 3: An unexpected visit
Much later that night, Hermione was on her balcony, thinking back at the events. She still couldn't believe her ears (and her eyes)! A Malfoy! That stupid little prick that always insult her family and friends? The one that Ron and Harry always talk about after a fight with him? How? What? Confused thoughts flooded through her head. He had touched her? How dared he? She thought that since she wasn't exactly a pure-blood, he would never ever touch or talk to her… But then again he did… But he didn't know who I was… Oooohh, that's why, she realized. If he knew who she was, Hermione doubted that he would have any contact with her. Whydid he come to the Masquerade Ball? To have fun? She didn't see him dance with anyone but her! But then… his friend… Of course! His friend was there…
A small noise interrupted her thoughts. Something or someone was moving behind the bushes in the garden…
- What are YOU doing HERE? she asked surprised, angry, but she couldn't help but smile a little.
- Shhh! You'll wake everybody! replied Draco (!).
- How dare you say that to me! You're not even allowed to be here! Go back from where you came from!
- Well… he said shyly and hesitatively, if you insist… Okay.
He turned around and walked a few steps, then…
- WAIT!
He stopped. She didn't know why she had asked him to stop. She felt stupid… He turned around…
- Why did you come here? she asked.
- Well, um… hesitated Malfoy, and replied after clearing his throat, uneasy, I… I came here to… to see you…
He blushed.
- Never mind… I'll just go… he said.
He did something unexpected. He climbed onto the wall and reached the balcony where Hermione was standing. She didn't move: she was very surprised. But nevertheless, she reached his hand to help him. Finally, they were standing, facing each other, holding both hands. They were staring at each other's eyes again…
Hermione interrupted the silence:
- You shouldn't…
He leaned in to kiss her. Hermione's mind was racing and, at the same time, her heart was pounding hard in her chest.
OMG! He wants to kiss me! What should I do? Let him kiss me? I would looove that!
Hm… You shouldn't…
Why not? And who are you anyway?
Um… hello? I'm your conscience! You used me a lot more than one time, if you remember! And…uh… He could play with your feelings.
He'd never do that!
How do you know? You barely even know him… I mean it's the second that you've seen him in your whole life!
But this is the chance of my life! What if I refuse and that he doesn't want to kiss me anymore?
Then,he isn't worth it! God, you talk like you were in a relationship already!
Alright, fine, I give up you evil conscience…
You'll thank me afterwards, I'm sure…
This little "battle" in Hermione's mind has last less than half a second. She put the top of her soft fingers on his lips to stop him… He looked confused and embarrassed…
- I'm sorry, she said.
- Don't worry, I understand…
- It's just... we don't know each other, you know?
- Of course, he paused before saying, then… tell me about you.
Her surprised eyes met his.
I told you he'd never play with my feelings! He's so nice, so gentle and handsome! I've never met such a gentleman!
Oh, shut up… You're never too sure…
Hermione started talking to Draco. She told him about her life, how she had been adopted when her true muggle parents died, about her friends… And Draco was listening to every word she said.
- There's one thing I don't understand, she said. Why do you hate us?
- Uh… I guess… Well, my family doesn't really tolerate mudbloods like you, and he quickly added after seeing her angry face, I didn't mean to offend you! It's just the truth! We don't tolerate have-pure blood wizards, or their friends either.
- But why?
- We think you're inferior to us…
- But that doesn't mean that you can't show us respect! Her voice was rising.
- You know, after thinking of it, I don't really know why…
- But then, if you don't know, why do you always get into a fight with Harry and Ron? What have they done to you in the first place?
- Well… he thought a moment, I guess… nothing… but….
- Then, you shouldn't insult them! she exclaimed, almost screaming, or hurt them for that matter! DID YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID TO RON WHEN…
- What would you do if all your life you were taught the way I was? he asked, furious, If I ever even talked to one of you mudbloods, I'd betray my family! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH!
Hermione didn't know what to say… Tears had formed into her eyes…
Suddenly, someone knocked on Hermione's bedroom door…
- Hey Hermione! said Ginny, who's talking to you? I could hear you from my bedroom! You woke me up!
- Um… I'm just watching TV!
- God, then why do you put the volume so loud? Are you deaf? Or do you even care that SOME people actually do sleep? Anyway, now that I'm awake, LET ME IN!
- Draco, she whispered, quick, here's some floo powder. Go!
- Will I see you again? he asked.
- Just GO!
He took some floo powder, walked into the chimney, and said:
- I'll be missing you… MALFOY'S MANOR!
Just as Ginny entered Hermione's room, he disappeared…
Hey! So? Did you like this chapter? I'm sorry : it is quite short, I know. And maybe some of you didn't like the part when Hermione and Draco were arguing, but I thought that if they get along too easily, it would be quite awkward for such different personalities… Please R-E-V-I-E-W!
