Chapter 3: She Gets A Date
The next day, Hermione woke up too early so she decided to take a long bath. She needed it. She needed to relax.
She lit up scented candles and prepared her bath. She got in and closed her eyes. Her body felt relaxed now but her mind wasn't. A lot of things went through her head.
She thought about Harry and Draco and how her feelings towards them suddenly changed. Then her parents came into her thoughts. Tears streamed down her smooth and soft cheeks.
Flashback:
"Hermione! Hermione!" Her parents called her
"What are you two doing here?"
"We wanted to surprise you."
"Go home. Now isn't the right time. Go home!"
"Why what's wrong?"
"The war has started and you might get killed. You can't defend yourselves."
"Okay. We'll go. Take care of yourself! We love you! Bye!"
"Bye!"
But a deatheater had appeared and he stood in front of them and he raised his wand pointing to the two muggles. Hermione's parents said, "No. No. We're not like your kind. We're not part of this war. We're what you call muggles."
"What! You're muggles?"
"Yes."
Without hesitation, the deatheater killed them but before that, tortured them.
Hermione saw this and it angered her. Anger and sadness were mixed together. She casted a powerful curse upon the deatheater and it killed him.
End of Flashback
Hermione rinsed herself and stood up and dried herself. She changed into her uniform and school robes. She went down to the Great Hall and had her breakfast.
Ron and Harry were already there and they were eating like they have never eaten before.
Harry called out to Hermione and she blushed a little bit. She sat down across Ron and buttered a toast.
"Hermione, I was wondering. Will you go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure. Is Ron coming?"
"No. This is more like a date. Will you still come?"
"Of course. I'd love to."
"Thanks!"
"My pleasure."
Hermione left the Great Hall with a smile planted on her face. Draco saw her leaving so he stood up to talk to her.
"Hermione! Wait!"
Hermione heard Draco and she turned around and stopped.
"Hermione" Draco was still trying to catch his breath, "Hermione, are you free this Saturday?"
"I'm sorry but no."
"Really? What are you doing?"
"I'm going on a date with Harry."
"Oh."
"Why?"
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Forget about it. Forget I even asked."
"Okay. Whatever you say Draco."
Draco felt sad. He wanted to ask Hermione out on a date too. But he couldn't since he was too late. He went to class and felt fear on his way there. He thought feared he would be given detention but he was actually fearing something else.
At the end of the classes, Draco went to the common room and he did all his homework. Hermione went in the portrait but she was with someone else.
Draco turned his head and saw that it was Harry. He felt angry. He didn't know why but he felt it. He felt like he wanted to hurt someone.
He tried to focus on doing his homework again but he couldn't. He seemed to be eavesdropping on their conversation. He tried to make out the words they were saying but he couldn't.
He heard them stand up but he didn't turn his head. Instead, he tried to listen more intently.
He heard them say their farewells and Hermione went back to the common room with a huge smile. This smile was the most joyous smile Draco had ever seen Hermione smile ever since he met her.
He knew something good happened between them. Something good for Hermione and Harry but something that could be the total opposite for Draco.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Well… I don't know if I should tell you."
"Come on. You can tell me."
"Okay fine."
