Chapter 6 of Immortal Love:
Disclaimer: I do not own anything regarding Harry Potter.
Summary: I can't believe that idiot Krum cursed me! He was supposed to be my ex boyfriend. Now I can't regain my ability to perform magic until I find my true love. Oh great, I guess I'll find him after I date ever guy on Earth!
Recap from Chapter 5:
"I don't need your pity, Granger," he said coldly, before shutting the door on me.
How dare he? He tells me his whole life story and then shuts me out of his life?
Well Draco Malfoy, this isn't over. Not at all.
You think I am some girl who will give up? No, I will help you until the very end…
Chapter 6 of Immortal Love:
The next day, when Dumbledore appeared in the fireplace, I immediately asked him about the potion that could reverse the spell, which was placed, on me.
Dumbledore nodded his head, "Yes, I too have heard about that spell. However, the last time I checked, it was banned because it did not work. The girl who used it died a very horrible death."
I gasped, "Died?"
"Yes, she died, I'm afraid. The only cure is kissing your true love … Perhaps if you open your eyes a little more, you'll find that finding your true love is not that hard. In fact, he may be standing right in front of you for all you know!" Dumbledore chuckled, and he was gone from the fireplace.
I turned around and immediately, Draco's tall figure was upon me.
"Malfoy! What the heck are you doing?" I asked.
"Poor Granger," he crooned, "No hope in finding your true love because one look at you and all the guys flee."
"Piss off!" I said, and I stormed off into my room.
I heard him faintly call, "Too bad you're so ugly Granger…"
Did I ever tell you how much I hated Malfoy? I hate his guts. Well, okay, he may be very cute … er, very hot but still, I hate him.
I opened my door and went outside to work on my Ancient Ruins. I sat down in my chair, and took out my quill and a fresh bottle of black ink and began translating a poem that Dumbledore gave me a couple of days ago.
I felt somebody breathe onto my back, and I immediately groaned.
"Malfoy, go away!" I hissed.
"No."
"Then stop bothering me!"
"Didn't I tell you to call me Draco?" he asked, twirling a strand of my bushy brown hair in between his fingers.
"Stop! So, don't like having the same last name as Daddy Dearest?" I cooed sarcastically.
His gray eyes hardened, and he took a threatening step towards me, "Shut your mouth. You don't know anything…"
"Then quit teasing me and making me mad Malfoy!" I screamed.
"You think you're so good, don't you?" he sneered.
With a flick of his wrist, he pushed over the jar of ink onto my carefully written and thoughtfully planned out Ancient Ruins homework.
If there is one thing that makes me mad, it's redoing perfectly good homework.
I wanted to slap him, but I held the urge and instead, to my horror, tears started to leak out of my eyes. Frustrated, I brushed them away.
"You know what, Malfoy?" I asked him, "I hate you. And worst of all, I pity you. You have such a pathetic life and horrible parents. When I compare myself to you, I actually think that I have a better life than you. Even though I don't have my magic now, at least I have my dignity and I know that I have a good family."
He took a step back and said, "I'm going to get you for that Granger. Somehow … someway … but you're going to regret saying that."
He paused as he drew in a breath.
"You should be happy that you're not a guy … I would have killed you right away."
He turned around and plopped himself down onto the couch.
The couch squeaked as he sat upon it, and if the situation weren't so deathly scary, I would have laughed.
"Malfoy…" I hesitantly said.
He made a big show as to look everywhere but me.
Humph! Two could play this game…
I grabbed the closest thing that was next to me, which happened to be a pillow, and hurled it across the room at Malfoy.
It hit him dead in the head and I smiled … well sneered.
"Never mess with Hermione Granger…" I hissed, and I walked into my room, banging the door shut.
I woke up the next day bright and early.
As I walked out into the kitchen in my pajamas, I realized that Malfoy had fallen asleep on the couch.
I sighed, and immediately felt guilty. After all, it was my fault he was on the couch. I had probably provoked him so much, that he fumed on the couch until he fell asleep.
I walked into my room, and grabbed a big, heavy, and warm blanket that had the Gryffindor seal emblazoned onto it, and gently placed it on top of the shivering blond.
Malfoy could look really sweet and innocent while he was sleeping. Without knowing what I was doing, I planted a soft kiss on Dra… I mean Malfoy's forehead.
I snapped back and blushed. Thank goodness he wasn't awake!
Then all of a sudden, I heard him speak …
"Did you miss me that much?"
My whole face started to heat up and I planted my eyes firmly on the floor.
"Hermione…" he breathed.
My eyes looked into his gray eyes, and I saw longing in them. Realizing that I was staring at him, his eyes immediately narrowed before he looked away. When he planted his eyes back on me, he had the cold gray eyes he had always had.
I started to stutter, "Uh … Mal… Dray… I … I can explain!" I gasped.
He raised one eyebrow.
"Really now? Then explain to me that kiss…" he said, giving a yawn.
"I'm sorry for kissing you Malfoy. It was an accident and I never should have done it. It won't happen again…" I blurted out in one breath.
"An accident, huh?" he asked.
I nodded.
Draco … Malfoy stood up and looked at me … "So that kiss was an accident?" he asked.
I nodded again, not trusting my voice.
My heart was screaming "No! I wanted to kiss you! You're so freakin' hot…"
"I see," he said icily, and he walked back into his room.
"By the way, Granger, thank you for the blanket. It was good while it lasted…" he laughed.
What have I done? One minute he was yelling at me. The next minute I was kissing him. And then we're back to the yelling again. What is wrong with me?
Author's Note: Hello, I'm so sorry for the long update. It's been quite awhile, hasn't it? Lately, I've been really pressured by the swimming practices, homework, school in general and all. I haven't had the chance for myself to take a break.
Please read and review.
