Chapter 6: Harry Finds Out
The next day, Draco sat down and ate breakfast. He looked over at the Gryffindor table to see if which girl is lucky for him.
He looked at all the Gryffindors and no one had attracted him except for one person, Hermione Granger. The more he thought about her, the more she seemed perfect.
What will I do? I can't find anyone. No one can ever compare to Hermione. She's perfect. There is no girl in this world that can compete with Hermione. He finally gave up his search so he stood up and went to the portrait. He said good morning to the lovely couple in the portrait and he said the password.
He went in and he walked up the stairs leading to his room. He went out to the balcony and sat down.
For the first time in his life, he was able to hear the beautiful song that birds sing. He loved watching the clouds slowly move. He liked the feeling of the cool breeze that was caressing his face. But there was still something missing. The first girl he ever loved wasn't with him. Hermione wasn't there beside him.
Hermione went to pay a visit to the lake. She saw a man sitting on the side. She wasn't sure who it was but she was definitely interested to find out.
As she stepped closer, the face of this man grew more familiar. When she was beside him, she realized it was Harry.
She took a seat beside him and she sighed.
"Hi Mione!"
"Hey Harry!"
"What are you doing here?"
"I came here because I like this place. When classes come, I won't have the luxury to visit this wonderful place anymore. Why'd you come here?"
"Same as you."
Hermione rested her head on his right shoulder and she closed her eyes.
"Harry, you know, I never thought you'd like me."
"Hermione, I don't like you."
"What? Why?"
"I don't like you because I love you"
"Aww… I love you too."
Harry took Hermione in his arms and he gave her a hug. Hermione kissed his cheek softly. Harry. Stood up and he gave his hand out, "Let's go back inside."
Hermione took his hand and Harry helped her stand up. They went to the Head's Common Room and they sat down on the couch.
Hermione cuddled up to Harry as if she was looking for warmth. Harry placed his arm around her waist in a protective manner.
They didn't talk but the silence wasn't uncomfortable, it was actually comforting. Harry broke the silence when he whispered to her ear, "I love you."
"I love you too." Hermione whispered back while getting closer to Harry.
Draco went down to get a glass of water but he saw Harry and Hermione sitting down on the couch. He sat down on the other end and waited for them to notice that he was there.
He couldn't wait any longer and he was starting to get jealous again. Especially since Harry had his arm around Hermione, the girl he loved. He cleared his throat and this time, the two looked at him.
"Hi Draco!"
"Malfoy." Harry said but he was still shocked that Hermione had called him Draco.
"Hey Mione! Harry, please. Call me Draco. I have a name too, you know."
"I know. But, are you actually being nice?"
"Yeah. I've changed. Ask Hermione. She knows."
"Hermione, is it true? Is it true that Draco Malfoy has changed?"
"Yes it is. He never wanted to be mean to us. He was mean to us because his father had told him to. If he didn't follow, his own father would have hexed him."
"Oh okay."
"Do you believe now Harry?"
"Yes but not fully yet."
"Draco, give him time. He'll fully believe you soon." Hermione said then she winked at him.
Draco nodded and he went back to his room. His thought once again started devouring him.
Draco was glad that Hermione winked at him but a wink didn't really mean something. Although there was joy in his heart, but did that wink have love in it or was it just a friendly wink? That was the question his mind had.
He couldn't answer the question himself. He wanted to ask her but his second thoughts would always interfere. He loved her, yes it was true. But she only saw him as a friend. He liked her and he didn't want to lose her. Even if it meant if he stayed in the friend zone for the rest of his life.
"Bye Harry!"
"Bye Mione!"
Harry had to leave since he promised Ron that they would hang out in the Gryffindor Common Room. As much as he loved Hermione, Ron was still his best friend and he couldn't leave him alone. Ever since he and Hermione started going out, Ron had been out of place.
Hermione went to Draco's door and she knocked. Draco answered it and Hermione went in.
"Am I disturbing you?"
"No. I'm not doing anything at all."
"Good. Can I talk to you?"
"Of course. You can talk to me about anything. Come in."
"Thanks!"
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"Wait, can we go out to the balcony first? I want some fresh air."
"Sure." The two stood up an they went to the balcony and they sat down on the couch.
"Better?"
"Better."
"What were you going to talk to me about?"
"Well……"
