Previous Chapter: "Yes... I forgive you but I am happy that it was you, and thank you for being honest with me..." Hermione said leaning to Draco.
And they just sat there, just two of them under the moon light and they saw themselves reflecting on the lake. Hermione was so happy and so did Draco.
8.Hermione's happiness didn'tlast long.
Hermione felt very tired and sleepy when she got up next morning. "Oh...I must go to bed earlier..." she muttered, standing up. She took a shower with icy cold water to make her feel less tired and less sleepy. She shivered when the cold water touched her soft skin, but she felt very fresh and didn't feel sleepy at all. When she changed her clothes and went down to common room, she saw Draco sitting on the sofa. Draco smiled at Hermione when he saw her. Then Hermione remembered Draco putting his arm around her last night which made her blush.
"Good morning..." Draco said to Hermione, standing up.
"Good morning..." Hermione replied, trying not to show her blushed face.
"Didn't you catch cold last night?" Draco asked, still smiling at her.
"No... but I think I did this morning..." Hermione answered thinking of having a shower with icy cold water which made her shiver again. "How about you?" Hermione asked.
"I am a man... I am okay..." Draco said. "So... are you ready to have breakfast?" Draco asked sweetly, looking at Hermione.
"Yup... I am starving..." Hermione said cheerfully.
Then they went to Great Hall together. The corridor looked beautiful by the sun light even it looked old and dusty, or maybe their happiness made them think the corridor looked beautiful.
Walking with Draco made Hermione extremely nervous. 'How can a person change so much in just short period? or was it only me who thought he was bad? I mean he was one different person last night...' Hermione thought looking at Draco who was walking beside her. His eyes were shining by the sun light. 'Wow...' Hermione just couldn't take her eyes off him. '...he is gorgeous... didn't know why Slytherin girls were dying to date with him... I can see the reason now...' Hermione thought looking at him and she felt more than happy.
Draco was thinking about Hermione, too. 'Why didn't I see it before? I mean she is beautiful. How could I haven't noticed it before? I just can't believe a girl like her could change my life... I never thought I would be myself again... But I know now that, she isn't just any girl... she is Hermione Granger, the girl of my life...' Draco thought and he was so happy to feel that she was so close to him.
"Hermione... I have been thinking..." Draco said first, breaking the silence. "... If you don't have any plans tomorrow, maybe we can go to Hogsmeade together..." Draco said.
"But we can't go to Hogsmeade tomorrow... We aren't allowed... We can go only on weekends..." Hermione said.
"Tomorrow is weekend, tomorrow is Saturday..." Draco said smiling.
"Oh... really?... well... okay then, I will go with you..." Hermione couldn't believe what she said, and it seemed liked this made Draco surprise, too.
"Okay then..." Draco said very happily.
'Oh my god... I can't believe what I just said... How can I tell something very important like this, without even thinking and so easily? But I do want to go with him... oh no... what am I going to tell to Nick?' Hermione just remembered Nick asking her out. 'I am in trouble... oh yes, maybe Ginny can help me...' Hermione was happy and she didn't want anything more than that.
When Draco and Hermione entered Great Hall, every body looked at them but they didn't seem to find it interesting since they live in same dormitory. Nick was smiling at Hermione but his smile faded when he saw her coming in with Draco. Draco went to his house table where Zanabi, Blaise, Ben, Jake(remember his new friends? chapter 1) and Nick were. All of them gave Hermione disgusted look except Nick. Nick looked angry. Hermione went to where Harry, Ron and Ginny were. They looked quite surprised, too.
"Did you just come in with Draco?" Ron asked.
"I think I did..." Hermione answered bitterly. She didn't want them to say bad things about Draco anymore.
"Ron, have you forgotten? They are living in the same dormitory..." Harry said.
"Bloody hell..." Ron said eating chicken wings.
"So is everything alright?" Ginny asked to Hermione, grinning very widely which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Yes..." Hermione responded uncertainly because Ginny looked happy, but too happy. "Is everything alright?" Hermione asked.
"Yes... But I think Ginny knows something we don't..." Harry said looking at Ginny.
"Hermione, I need to tell you something... Do you have time after breakfast?" Ginny asked.
"Oh yeah... I have something to tell you, too..." Hermione said starting to eat her breakfast.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked, giving Ginny and Hermione a suspicious look.
"Well... It is just a girl talk..." Ginny said very simply smiling at Harry.
When they finished their breakfast, Ginny and Hermione went to outside where they went last time. The weather was perfect like before.
"So Hermione what did you want tell me? I also have a good news for you..." Ginny asked first.
"Umm... Draco asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him tomorrow and I said I will... but the problem is..." Hermione said.
"Nick..." Ginny said and she didn't look happy at all but looked worried about something.
"Yes... how did you know? I really don't know what I am going to tell him." Hermione said hoping Ginny will give her some ideas.
"Hermione... That is really great and you were really brave to say something like that, but..." Ginny said.
"But?" Hermione said looking at Ginny who now looked terrified.
"Hermione... I am really sorry... I really am..." Ginny said frowning.
"What is it?" Hermione asked to Ginny who looked very nervous, and she knew something was wrong.
