Chapter 7: Second Thoughts
"I'm just kinda having second thoughts" Hermione said while looking away
"What do you mean?"
"Don't get me wrong. I love Harry so much. I'm so glad that we're together. But I'm just afraid. We've been through many things, yes, but as friends and not more than that. He is my best friend."
"Then?"
"I'm scared that one day we might fight and our friendship will be broken. But if we do become friends again, it'll never be the same. It'll be uncomfortable when I'll be with him and when he'll be with me. I don't wanna lose Harry." Hermione said this while a few teardrops made their way down her cheek.
"That's understandable. You love him right?"
"Yes. I love him so much."
"If you love each other, then you'll withstand anything that'll come your way. If you break up, you'll always be friends. Even if it will seem uncomfortable in the beginning, later, the awkwardness will be gone."
"Are you sure?"
"A hundred percent."
"Thanks Draco. I really needed to talk to someone about this."
"My pleasure. It's my way of saying thank you for the time when you let me open up to you. It was a load of my chest. Now, I'm returning the favor."
"Draco…"
"Yes Hermione?"
"Well, you're a really great friend. I wish your father didn't want to hex you before. I could have used your friendship to comfort me these past few years."
That's when it struck Draco. He'll only be a friend. He'll never be anything more in the eyes of Hermione. Hermione will never see him as anything more than that. Better a friend than nothing at all.
"I wish that too. Hermione…"
"Yes?"
"Nevermind."
"Tell me."
"It's nothing."
"If you say so. I better be going now. Thanks again."
"Your welcome."
Hermione left Draco in the balcony and she went somewhere else.
The minute Hermione left, his tears were falling one by one. He was supposed to tell Hermione how he felt. But he didn't because it would be wrong.
She was with Harry and she just told him he was a great friend. Maybe they could be more than that but look at Harry. It took him six years before Hermione had any feelings for him and only God knows how long it'll take for Hermione to love him back. Maybe never.
Every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was Hermione. He was definitely in love with her. For the first time in his life, he felt love. A love that only he felt. A love that she would never return.
He walked around his balcony and he sat down again. He looked at the amazing view. He admitted it was beautiful but its beauty could never compare to the beauty of Hermione Granger, the first girl to take his breath away.
Hermione thought, Talking to Draco isn't really bad. He is such a great friend. He knows what to say and what he says comforts me. I can really open up to him. Harry and Ron were always there for me but Draco seems to be the kind of person who I feel more comfortable around with. I was stupid to think that maybe I had a crush on him. He's just a new friend. Maybe Harry's the one.
She was in her room lying on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling then she grabbed her wand and her ceiling was decorated with a lot of stars. It looked beautiful.
Draco looked at the time and it seemed like he had skipped lunch without noticing. He was still in the balcony thinking about her. It seemed like when he thought about her he didn't really care about what happens to the world.
He stood up and he went to the Slytherin Common Room. He sat down on the couch. A sixth year boy saw him and asked him, "Who are you looking for?"
"Blaise"
"Wait here. I'll call him."
A few minutes later, Blaise came down.
"How are you Draco?"
"I'm fine."
"You?"
"I'm great. So, what do you want?"
"I have to talk to you about something."
"What do you need to talk to me about?"
"Before we talk, can we go to the lake first? I'll feel better there."
"Sure."
They went down to the lake and they sat on the grass 1 meter away from the lake.
"Draco, it seems like it's been so long since you and I actually talked."
"I know. Sorry about that. I just have a lot on my mind."
"I understand. We're near the lake now, will you tell me what you want to talk about?"
"Yeah. Something's bothering me. It's…"
