Turns of Time

Chapter18

Helpless Tears

Disclaimer: (see before chaps)


"HARRY!"

The door banged open and a red faced, panting Ron barged into the room. He quickly shut the door behind him and barricaded it with the first thing that he could reach, a huge chest of drawers.

Then he jumped onto Harry's bed and hid behind his friend.

Harry was yanked out of his fantasy, involving a certain Head Girl, when the door handle began rattling and Ron frankly got hold of Harry's neck.

"What?" Harry managed to gasp out as he tried to pry the cold and clammy fingers away from his neck.

"Ginny. Bat-Bogey Curse." the pale-faced Ron rasped out. In that moment, the door burst open to reveal a red faced Ginny with bits of chicken on her hair and robes. Harry could make out smoke coming from behind her. There was a huge probability that she had trashed the common room.

"You're on your own, mate." He managed to say, as he wrestled himself free from Ron's grip. Ron gave him a look of pure terror and began dousing himself with protective spells.

Harry slipped out to the common room and sat on a badly burnt chair in the smoking common room. Contentedly enjoying the warmth of the fire and the loud thuds and screams from the upstairs dormitory.

That's when it hit him....holy, his essay! He left it on his bed!


Hermione held her wand up and the small beam of light from it shone at the dark alcove. She continued walking along the corridor.

She yawned and didn't bother covering her mouth, no one was here anyway. It must be about time she meet up with Pansy at the Entrance Hall. She grimaced at the thought and silently cursed Ron for making such a fool of himself. She and Harry had brought a hex covered Ron to the Hospital Wing. After learning what had happened, she reprimanded Harry for not stopping the fight and gave Ron another dose of whacking. Madam Pomfrey had a fit and tutted both out of the Wing leaving a moaning Ron in the nurse's care. Naturally she had to change the schedule at the last minute and Pansy, strangely, easily volunteered for the job.

Walking her way down to the Entrance Hall. She looked at her watch and silently wished that Pansy was already waiting for her. Her back was already aching like billy-o.

She let out a sigh of relief when she Pansy emerged from the grounds.

"No one?" Pansy shook her head and handed her the clipboard.

Hermione nodded and turned to walk away, when Pansy let out a soft chuckle.

Hermione stopped and looked at the girl. "What?"

"You'll never get him."

"Pardon?"

"You're just a muggle-born who's worth nothing more than a pile of shit. You'll never get Draco. He's mine."

Hermione stared after the girl. She opened her mouth but decided against it. Shaking her head, she went back to her dorm.


Once she was in, she found Draco, once again bent over the coffee table.

"Malfoy." Draco looked up from his papers. "Tell your girl to stop bothering me."

"My girl?" he asked.

"Pansy." she replied. Hanging her robes on the coat hook at the back of the door.

"She's not my girl."

"Well then tell her that. Just don't mix my name up with your games." Hermione nodded at the man and was about to close the door to her room when his foot stopped it. With one shove, he pushed the door open.

"What is wrong with you?" she looked at him blankly, then went ahead dumping her books on her desk but found herself facing him a moment later. His hand gripping her upper arm.

"Try to look at me when I'm talking to you. I'm trying to make things work out for us." she took a step back but her thighs collided with the corner of the desk.

"Us? there was never an 'us'." she stated, quite blankly. They stared at each other for a long while his eyes boring into her.

He stepped forward. Hermione placed her tongue at the side of her cheek and looked away. "Look at me." he whispered. Hermione turned to look at him again. Slowly he inched forward and touched her lips with hers. They were still staring into each other's eyes.

His hand left her arm and snaked its way to the back of her head. He tentatively brushed his tongue on her lips and entered it slowly. Hermione held her breath and her hands flung out to the edge of the table and gripped it hard. Supporting herself.

She let out a slow exhale, when he stopped, but his lips were still against hers.

"There was never an 'us'?" she could feel his lips moving against hers. She just stared at him silently not daring to move an inch. Determined not to let him know that she wanted to melt on the spot.

Finally Draco stepped aside and walked out of the room leaving her standing there.

After a minute or so, helpless tears started to trickle down. She angrily wiped her lips and stamped to the bathroom.
