Chapter Six
The two teenagers didn't notice that a green eyed wizard that was practically red from inside out was standing outside of the compartment, ready to attack anyone. But while Harry was exploding from the inside, he couldn't say anything, he tried speaking out, but his voice failed him. So he miserably had to watch the two having an intimate moment together. Hermione couldn't believe that she was actually snogging Draco Malfoy, the stupid Slytherin who kept on bothering her and her friends for the past years, the same guy who tortured her by calling her mudblood and making her feel lower than dirt. She couldn't believe this. But while she was thinking about this reasoning, she didn't do anything about it. Draco gently pulled Hermione closer into him, well more like, him moving closer to her. He snaked one of his arms onto Hermione's waist while one arm was behind the Gryffindor's head. He too was thinking thoughts like Hermione, why was he even kissing her, was this all because of rage? He highly doubted that, and it seems as if Hermione's been wanting this too if she didn't slap or hex him by now. (A/n: him and his big egotistical thoughts :P )
Harry couldn't take this, his enemy was kissing the girl whom he loved, and he needed to stop this. So he walked rather aggressively towards the two teenagers, and pulled back Draco's shoulder. Draco and Hermione, were obviously shocked that they were pulled apart, nevertheless kissing.
"What the hell do you think your doing, Malfoy!" Harry asked viciously to the Slytherin while pointing his wand just a few inches away from the blonde's face.
"I'm not so sure either," Draco replied, still in a state of shock, but quickly pulled together and responded quite viciously back.
"Why, what are you going to do about it? This isn't the first time you've seen us together though, right? Is somebody a little jealous?"
"Why I ought to-"
Hermione grabbed Harry away from Draco and pulled him outside of the room. Harry pushed Hermione's off and started to walk off in a very angry manner, but Hermione reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Wait- let me explain."
"You don't need to explain anything! I saw what you and Malfoy were doing, having a little snogging session," Harry spat out the word 'Malfoy' as if it was contaminated.
"Harry, he came onto me!"
"And you didn't do anything to pull away, though."
Hermione couldn't reply to that one, Harry was right. She didn't do anything to pull away from Draco; she probably even liked snogging with him. But Hermione still didn't give on her grasp on Harry.
"I might not have pulled away, but Harry, you have to understand, Draco just came onto me, and I didn't no what to do. I was completely shocked that he would even snog me."
Harry pushed off Hermione's hand off his arm, and started to walk off, but then stopped abruptly and turned around.
"And you know what! I'm tired of waiting here, hoping that one bloody day, you'll actually recognize me as a guy and maybe even like me for Merlin's sake. But now I see what type of guys you like, guys like Ferret Boy over there. I can't take this anymore... I'll see you back at Hogwarts," Harry shouted, then left.
All Hermione could do was fall down on the floor and start crying hysterically. She really thought that Ginny was just kidding about Harry liking her, and back at the inn Harry was just overreacting because he couldn't possibly imagine that Draco was helping both of the Gryffindor girls out without hexing them, like he had thought. But now everything was coming true, what was she going to do? Now she can't even face Malfoy anymore again, or she might find herself snogging him again. She doesn't even like him, but she wants to be with Malfoy, she couldn't believe this was actually possible for happening. Hermione didn't hear footsteps in the background; she just kept on crying, waiting for something to happen.
"- Granger?"
She didn't answer.
"Come on Granger, talk to me, I'm- ... sorry, okay? I didn't mean for that to happen, it just did," Draco explained, hoping that this might make the young woman feel a little better, but when the Gryffindor didn't budge, he knelt down in front of her. He lifted Hermione's chin up and looked into her tear-streaked eyes; Hermione quickly turned her head around to look somewhere else. Out of all the people in the world, she didn't want to look at this blonde headed Slytherin right now. Draco didn't say anything, but guided her head to face towards him again. He cupped Hermione's face, with his rather large calloused hands, due from Quidditch, and wiped the tears away from her face.
"Don't. touch. me." Hermione said in a low menacing tone.
"I said I was sorry," Draco tried to reason.
"Will it fix my friendship with Harry? I don't think so."
Hermione looked away from Draco once more, and started to get up, but then Draco grabbed Hermione's hand. She immediately tried to grab her hand away from Draco's grasp but it didn't work.
"I told you don't touch me!"
Draco didn't reply but grabbed Hermione closer to him, wrapping his arms around her. Hermione started to beat Draco on the chest, each time getting weaker, her sobs grew louder and louder, until she stopped beating against his chest and slumped into him. Her shoulders shook heavily while crying into Draco's chest, he didn't mind though. Draco cautiously reached from behind and stroked Hermione's soft brown curls that tamed over the years. Hermione didn't lash out at him, so he continued to stroke her hair, hoping this would sooth the teenage girl.
"Shh... It's all right."
"No -hiccup- it's not all right -hiccup-," she replied back into his chest.
Draco didn't try and say anything; he thought it would be better if it was quiet for awhile. A few minutes passed by and she still didn't move from Draco's grasp, Hermione was thinking that it was rather comfortable in the Slytherin's strong arms. (A/n: Just so you know, both of them are still on the ground.) But soon enough he started to get up, loosening his arms around the girl, he moved back a little. He found Hermione, a little puffy eyed from crying and her cheeks were red from the confinement of Draco's chest. He first got up and reached out his hand towards Hermione, she grabbed it hesitantly but he pulled her up. He gently carried her back into the compartment that they were staying in the train ride towards Hogwarts.
"I still mean what I said earlier..."
Hermione had a questioning look in her eyes.
"When I said sorry, I didn't really mean for it to happen, it just did."
(A/n: SORRY AGAIN! If you're wondering if they are in school uniforms or not, they're in their school uniforms.)
"Oh, okay, well I guess thanks?"
Draco smiled, and looked back down at his robes; there was a slight wet place on his chest. Draco smirked and pointed his wand towards the spot and said a spell to clean the spot up. Hermione gently sat down on the velvety red sofa like seats, but soon just ended up lying down. She watched Draco cleaning up his robes, then looking around everywhere to make sure everything was quite in place. It sort of looked like a dog trying to catch a glimpse of his tail, but of course, there was nothing on the back of his robes. Him being a little perfectionist checked anyways for any spots or dirt of any kind, by finishing the whole thing, he ran his fingers through his hair. For the past years, Draco stopped using hair products in his hair, it looked better, and it made the girls swoon over him even more. Hermione started to giggle slightly, Draco turned his head slowly towards Hermione. He raised one of his eyebrows, but thought better of wanting an explanation, so he just went and sat on the seat in front of Hermione.
"Why are you being so kind to me lately?"
Draco looked astonishly at Hermione, "You think I'm being kind?"
"Well, not when the professors were here, but just a few minutes ago, and back at the inn. You were- .. Nice," Hermione hesitantly replied back.
Draco quickly sat up and took two big strides and stood in front of Hermione. He roughly grabbed Hermione on the wrist and pushed her up against the wall, they were in the same position that they were when they were kissing earlier.
"You still think I'm kind?" Draco growled under his breath.
"Ahh, I'm so scared," Hermione replied sarcastically
Hermione moved around Draco and sat back down on the seat. Draco turned around and looked at Hermione, then sat back down next to her. Draco looked outside the window and noticed that the castle was coming near. It had a great presence surrounding the moors around it, but in the inside, it was different. Hogwarts was practically like his second home, more like his real home, nothing was waiting for him back in the Malfoy Manor. Hermione smiled at Draco who was still looking out the window, that's when rain drops slowly dropped, soon enough it was raining pretty hard.
"Poor first years," Hermione muttered.
When the train lurched to a stop, Hermione immediately ran out the door. Draco smirked at Hermione running, but didn't chase after her. He walked rather slowly and waited for Blaise and Pansy to catch up with him.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Hermione ran towards Harry and Ginny, she said hi to Ginny and Harry. Ginny replied, but Harry didn't respond. Ginny had a questioning look in her eyes; she thought it had to do something with Harry and Hermione fighting again.
Harry slammed the door of the compartment really loudly, Ginny looked up in shock at the green eyed wizard.
"Bloody ferret" Harry muttered under his breath.
"Harry what's wrong?" Ginny asked, rather concerned that Malfoy had done something to Hermione and Harry.
"Nothing," Harry answered gruffly and turned away from her.
When Ron came in though, he started to talk in a whispered tone towards Ron, but didn't include Ginny in this. Obviously he didn't want her to listen, so Ginny shrugged it off and continued reading her book.
She sighed, but when her friend came into sight, she jumped up and down and ran towards her.
"HEY LUNA!"
"Hello Ginny. I haven't seen you in a while," Luna replied in a mystical voice that she had always had.
"I know, so sorry, but I was busy over the summer," Ginny replied while thinking of what happened back at the inn.
"Ahh,.. Well if you don't mind, do you want to come and join me in my carriage to Hogwarts?"
"Um... sure, I need to tell Ron though, he'll go ballistic if I don't tell him and go," Ginny told her friend. Luna started to blush when Ginny's brother was put into topic; Ginny noticed and asked, "You don't like him do you?"
"Maybe..."
Ginny smiled faintly, and then looked back to see Harry and Hermione facing away from each and Ron trying to consult either one of them. She told Luna to hold on, and ran towards the trio.
"Ron, I'm going to be with Luna okay?" Ginny told her brother, but then gave him a questioning look. Ron shrugged in response.
"Whoa, wait, Gin, I thought you weren't really friends with Luna. I just figured that you were with her because you pitied her. I guess not, right?" Ron said jokingly.
Ginny scowled and replied, "You are such a prat."
The fiery red head ran off in the rain towards her blonde headed friend. While he watched his sister leave, he noticed that Hermione and Harry still weren't talking to each other and they were really wet.
"Er- why don't we go get a carriage?" Ron asked awkwardly.
Hermione just started to walk off towards an empty carriage, Ron and Harry followed just a few steps back. Once they reached the carriage, drawn by the invisible thestrals, they were stopped by Malfoy.
"What do you want ferret?" Ron asked in a menacing tone.
"Granger, you need to come with me, we need to ride in a separate carriage. Snape just told me," Draco lied.
Hermione looked back at Ron and Harry; she sighed and went along with Draco. She followed him to another line of carriages and climbed in, and then she asked, "Why'd you do that?"
"Well, you looked pretty miserable with Potter, and Weasely looked like he didn't no what to do. So me, being a chivalrous knight, came to rescue you," Draco joked.
Hermione giggled a bit, and then went to drying her clothes. Draco looked around and saw Blaise mouthing something, he told the Gryffindor girl that he'd be back and walked out.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Blaise yelled at the blonde.
Draco looked taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"Damnit, are you fucking blind! You're sitting with MUDBLOOD GRANGER! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!" Blaise repeated.
"Look, I'll explain later, and don't talk to her, she's a little... confused," Draco warned.
"I can see why," Blaise muttered without the other Slytherin knowing.
