The comfort of Rain----Chapter 10, Regret and Betrayal

Another month passed by and things seemed like they were going fine. Moments were coming fast, and Draco couldn't keep ignoring his father forever.

Hermione was almost always absorbed in her studies. Seemed like she got back on the right foot, but the moments with each other were great too. Late walks at night, or just seeing each other from across the room.

Sometimes a thought would come across her mind that it's too good to be true. This is Draco Malfoy we're talking about. How did all of this happen so fast? Maybe, he really did change. What will happen after school?

But something was terribly wrong.

Draco still couldn't get his father's voice out of his head, and he didn't know how to tell Hermione either.

The sky looked as about to rain in a short period of time. Hermione sniffed the scent of fresh air. She was on an evening stroll. Something didn't seem right to her.

She shrugged the feeling off.

It was cloudy out, but wasn't dark yet.

Hermione was thinking plainly about Draco. He was acting so strange lately. She was getting along with Harry, Ron, and Ginny perfectly. She couldn't be any happier.

She felt so happy because she finally had something to live for.

Nothing else mattered. But what she didn't know was that her heart was yet waiting to be broken.

The sky seemed misty and had the full scent of rain coming. Draco was out scanning the grounds for Hermione, he hadn't seen her in a while. She was nowhere to be seen. Disappointment filled Draco's emotions.

He turned around and there stood Larissa. She didn't look bad at all.

Last time he saw her was about a year ago. They had a fling, and that was about it. He knew his father must have sent her by the look of sweet seduction on her face.

"Well, Draco, you grew up," Larissa crooned in her sexy voice that sent shivers up his spine.

He brought up the courage to keep a straight face, and ask, "What are you doing here?"

"What does it matter?" She asked.

They were close now, and Hermione was in the middle of her deep thoughts when she stopped in her tracks.

Larissa captured a passionate kiss, but Draco wasn't pulling away. It seemed that time stopped for Hermione.

The moment heated up and it started to downpour with rain. Silent tears rolled down Hermione's flushed cheeks. She turned away and stood straight up, "Don't mind me," She cried between lashes of lightning and thunder that struck the sky.

Draco struggled to push Larissa away. Students were milling around to get inside to keep from getting soaked. Some were still there staring at the two.

Larissa vanished in thin air. Hermione shook her head, "I can't believe I trusted you."

Draco fought back, "You know I don't love her, she pushed herself on me!"

"Yeah right, and I thought you loved me," She struggled with the words, "So you pretend to be a shoulder to cry on to have me, and I'm just another piece of trash for you to use and dispose of?"

"You know it wasn't like that, I still love you, I'm sorry," He whispered.

Hermione barely heard him because of the storm.

"How could I be so stupid? You just wanted to fuck me, you sick bastard!" Hermione sobbed. Her words stung him.

"Well fuck you Draco!" Hermione walked up and kissed him quick and hard on the mouth, "Remember that."

Hermione ran away, she was soaked from head to toe, words played in her head.

I tried to kill the pain, but only brought more.

I lay dying, and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal.

I'm dying……praying……bleeding……and screaming

Am I too lost to be saved? Am I too lost?

Hermione laid sobbing on the ground; millions of memories running through her mind.

"I trusted you! I loved you! All I wanted was love!" She screamed out to the rainy sky. She buried her head in her hands and cried. She cried for her mom, she cried for being raped, and above all, she cried for Draco. She didn't want to believe that what just happened was reality.

Why?

Hermione found her way to her room and collapsed on her bed in the dark and played a slow and painful song to capture her dreams.
