Chapter 4: Telling Ron
"Well, what did you and Harry talk about that made you smile so much?"
"Let's sit down for a while" Hermione led Draco to the couch and they sat down.
"Okay. Will you tell me now?"
"Sure. Harry told me that he liked me and not as a friend but more than that. He said he had a crush on me since 5th year and it was only this year that he had the courage to tell me he liked me. I said I like him too and then he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend."
"What did you say?"
"I said yes."
"I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks."
"Hey, umm… I should probably sleep now. I'm quite tired today. Goodnight Hermione!"
"Goodnight."
Draco went to his room. But instead of going to bed, he went to the balcony and took a seat.
Draco couldn't help but feel jealous. He envied Harry for he has Hermione as his girlfriend and best friend. He wished he was in Harry's place.
He started to cry. He was in love with Hermione and he was too late. Hermione was already taken. Taken by Harry Potter, the boy who lived. He could never compete with that.
He went back inside and took a peek at the common room. Hermione wasn't there already so he assumed she must have slept.
All night, he was awake. He was awake, thinking about Hermione. She was the first girl to ever melt the ice in his heart. She was the first girl to make him feel like this. She was the first girl that ever showed him true love.
Morning had come and he still wasn't able to sleep. He took a quick shower and went down to the common room.
It was still dark outside so he didn't leave yet. He sat in front of the fire and kept thinking. His thoughts devoured him.
He stood up and went back to his balcony. He looked at the sun going up and enjoyed the view. It was beautiful to his eyes. He could have enjoyed the view more but his heart and mind wasn't at peace.
He heard a knock and he opened the door. He saw Hermione and she still looked lovely even though she didn't take a bath yet.
"Draco, I was wondering, will you wait for me? I mean, I want to go to the library and it's still pretty early and there will be no one there. I just want someone to come with me. But if you don't want to, it's still okay."
"Of course. What will you do in the library?"
"I want to look something up."
"Oh okay."
"Thanks!"
Hermione left Draco's room and she took a quick shower herself. She went down to the common room and Draco was waiting for her by the couch.
"I'm ready. We can leave now."
They left and went to the library together. Not much students were awake and no one was in the library.
Hermione found a book and she started reading a small article. After, she signaled to Draco that they could leave.
"So, what did you read?"
"Something you wouldn't be interested in."
"Just tell me. You never know. I might be interested in it."
"It's about our new lesson in Transfiguration.."
"Okay. Now that, I'm definitely not interested in."
"See? Told you so."
They went to the Great Hall and they entered together. Only a few first years were there so they didn't really care.
After a few minutes, students of all years came barging in the Great Hall. Hermione saw Harry and Ron so she waved at them.
"Hey Mione!" the two boys said in a lively tone
"Hey Ron! Hey Harry!"
They started eating pancakes and toast.
"Harry, did you tell Ron yet?" Hermione whispered to Harry
"Not yet."
"When should we tell him?"
"How about now?"
"Okay. You tell him"
"Fine."
"Ron, we have something to tell you."
"What is it Harry?"
"Hermione and I are you know, together?"
"What! Since when?"
"Since last night."
"How?"
"I dunno. It just sort of happened."
"What do you mean it t sort of happened?"
"I mean I like Hermione and I asked her to be my girlfriend last night and she said yes and tomorrow, we're gonna go on a date."
"I'm so glad for you guys!"
"Thanks!"
"Have you kissed yet?"
"No"
"When are you planning to kiss her?"
"Dunno yet. But not now."
After they ate breakfast, they went to their classes as usual and did what they usually do.
At the end of the day, Hermione and Draco went to the common room and did their assignments together. They ended quite early so they just talked.
"Draco, who do you fancy?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Come on. Tell me."
"Why do you want to know?"
"I dunno. Out of curiosity, I guess."
"Fine. I fancy no one."
"What!"
"Yes. What's wrong with the fact that I fancy no one?"
"Unusual. You have a lot of girls running after you and you fancy no one."
Draco didn't want to tell Hermione who he really fancied. If he did, it could ruin their growing friendship. If he couldn't have her, then he wanted her to be his friend, at least.
