ON WITH THE STORY!
After double potions, Hermione made her way back to her bedroom to drop off her books and rest until lunchtime. When she passed through the large portrait of Professor Dumbledore, she noticed that Draco was standing aimlessly in the centre of the common room. She cautiously stepped towards the middle of the room but stopped when Draco began to talk.
"Hermione…" he said.
"Is this about why you've been so nice to me lately?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah actually it is. It has to do with my mum…" Began Draco.
"Narcissa Malfoy? I don't understand," said Hermione, butting into Draco's sentence.
"Yeah, I thought she was my mum as well but it turns out she's not."
"Well who is? Does that mean that Lucius isn't your biological father?" said Hermione.
"No apparently he's my father but he left my mother just after I was born." Said Draco.
Hermione could she Draco was struggling with something and she urged him to continue.
"Yes…?"
"My mother is a mud blood!" Yelled Draco, turning around and running up to his bedroom and slamming the door.
Hermione stood still, completely shocked and slightly amused, this was the complete irony; all those years that he'd spent insulting mud bloods and boasting about his family's long line of pure blood and his mother is a mud blood!
Hermione began to feel sorry for Draco seeing as everything he thought he knew, he didn't actually know. Hermione decided to go check on him to see if he was ok, so she made her way up the stone stair case until she reached his bedroom where she quietly knocked on the door.
She heard some muffled sniffles and a bit of rustling before the door opened revealing a very puffy eyed Malfoy.
"Draco are you ok?" Hermione asked.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK?" Screamed Draco, running into his bedroom and jumping front first onto the bed.
Hermione slowly walked in, taking in the rich and elaborate furnishings in Draco's room, such as the long black leather couch and dark green drapes. She sat down cautiously next to Draco on his bed, neither of them spoke but after a while, Hermione began stroking his back gently. Draco turned his head to the side so he was looking at Hermione, Hermione could see that he had been crying – very strange and out of character for Malfoy but his eyes were red and puffy all the same.
"Malfoy I don't care that your mother is a mud blood!" She said.
"Of course you don't, but think about everyone else! My reputation is ruined!" Draco replied.
"Gees Malfoy, is that the only bloody thing you think about! Your REPUTATION!" Screamed Hermione, standing up and angrily making her way to the bedroom door.
"Hermione wait!" said Draco.
Hermione paused just as she reached the door, she spun around and look at Draco expectantly.
"What Malfoy?" She asked.
"I'm sorry it's just, everything that I thought was stable in my life like my pure blood line and my family has just been completely shattered and I'm just really confused." Replied Draco.
Hermione's expression softened as she tried to understand what Malfoy was going through.
"Yeah I'm sorry Malfoy; this really must be hard for you." Hermione said as she turned around to leave the room.
"Stop" said Draco abruptly "Can you stay here with me for a while? I just want someone to talk to who won't make fun of me."
Hermione made her way over to the bed and sat down next to Draco.
"So how are you going about the whole 'Harry' thing?" Asked Draco after Hermione had made herself comfortable.
"I'm ok, I just can't believe he would do that! He said that he loved me!" Said Hermione, tears beginning to form and fall from her eyes.
"Oh…I'm sorry I asked." Said Draco uncomfortable but to his misfortune, Hermione continued to cry, doing the first thing that came to mind Draco pulled Hermione towards him and held her to his warm chest. At first Hermione's body stiffened but after a few seconds, began to relax as she calmed down.
The two stayed in the same position for a short time until Hermione pulled herself up into a sitting position, as she wiped away her tears, she noticed that Draco still had his arms around her. Hermione looked up at Draco's face and noticed that he was intently staring at her, she blushed and looked down to the side but when she returned her gaze to Draco, she felt his soft lips come crashing down upon hers, kissing her passionately, Hermione moaned and as she did, opened her mouth slightly allowing Draco's tongue to slid gently into her mouth, making her moan again.
After kissing hungrily for what seemed like seconds but what was in fact, many minutes, Hermione realised just what she was doing and broke up the kiss.
"I'm sorry Draco, I have to go…" She said hurriedly, quickly sitting up and running out of the his room and down the hallway into her room before shutting the door as fast as she could.
