A/N Sorry I would have updated this sooner, but I have been sick and missed like a week of school and then this week I have a lot of make up homework (Fun) So thank you for being patient. Anyways on with the story. Chapter 11 Tears and Surprises Draco's point of viewDraco went to bed that night very light headed, not because he was drunk, but because he was thinking about Hermione and how tomorrow they would spend the whole day together. However his thoughts were soon interrupted by,
" Hey Draco look what we got" said Crabbe. He was holding up a bottle of Jack Daniels. Draco' s personal favorite. However tonight it didn't look very appealing to him. Tonight all he wanted to do was think about Hermione.
" You gonna come join us?" Goyle asked.
" No I'm too tired" Draco said and crawled into bed and closed his curtains, not even bothering to look at the expressions on Crabbe and Goyle's face.
Just as he was about to drift off to sleep he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. A strong sent of perfume hit him. He didn't need to look and see who those arms belonged too because there was only one person he knew that wore that much perfume.
" Pansy what in the bloody hell are you doing here?" Draco asked annoyed
" I'm here to see you baby." She squealed.
" Go away"
" You don't mean that" Said Pansy as she began kissing his neck. At this Draco jumped up.
" What is wrong with you? What don't you understand about go away?" he yelled
" You don't want me here?" Pansy asked. Draco just rolled his eyes. Some people were so thick. Draco began to go back to bed when Pansy suddenly grabbed his arm.
" Pansy look you stupid…." But stopped at look in Pansy's eyes. She was glaring at him with a glare as cold as ice.
" I know why you don't want me around anymore. It's because there is someone else. I can smell her perfume on you."
At this Draco remembered him and Hermione's recent date in the astronomy tower and couldn't believe that her perfume was still on him.
" It doesn't take me seeing someone to not want to be around you, I never want to be around you." Draco said with a smirk.
" Oh say whatever you want Draco, but I know that your little bitch is the reason you don't want me around anymore." Pansy said. Then her face spread into a smile. " I never thought I would see the day when Draco Malfoy was whipped."
" I am not whipped." Draco yelled. Pansy smiled.
" Struck a nerve did I?"
" Get the hell out?"
Pansy just laughed but still got out. Draco got back into bed angrily. Whipped. He thought. He was defiantly not whipped. Malfoy's were not whipped. Just because he didn't want to have sex with any girl other than Hermione did not mean he was whipped. It just meant he cared about Hermione. But how could he care about Hermione. She's a mudblood.
Hermione's point of viewThat morning Hermione hurried down to the Great Hall feeling very cheerful. She was going to spend the whole day with Draco. As they were eating breakfast the mail came and as an owl flow toward them her heart leapt thinking it could be a note from Draco, but the owl landed in front of Ron.
" Finally mum's sent my new shoes." Ron said excitedly as he unwrapped his new pair of shoes." Wow those are really nice Ron." Hermione said.
" Yeah especially compared to my old ones. They are practically ancient." Said Ron.
" I'll say there ancient." Drawled the familer voice of Malfoy. They turned towards him.
" I expect they were really nice once, but after all your other brothers used them I would expect for them to get a bit worn. So tell me Weasley, do you wear your brothers hand me down underwear too?" Draco smirked. Hermione grabbed Ron's arm.
"Just ignore him." She said. She couldn't believe that the Draco she had just done stuff with last night was standing here acting like the Draco she had once hated.
" Oh yeah, better listen to the mudblood. You don't want to get into trouble do you." Draco sneered and walked off. Hermione's heart dropped. How could Draco call her a mudblood. They had both agreed to not let their relationship be known, but he still didn't have to call her a mudblood.
"Hermione" Harry said
" What" Hermione said as her voice shook with anger.
" Are you ok?"
" Yeah, it's just why did he call me a mudblood?"
" Because he's Malfoy. But there is no need to get all upset about it I mean he has called you a mudblood lots of times and you never let it get to you." Said Harry.
" Yeah well I guess it was just one time to many because it got to me this time." Hermione said
Draco's point of viewDraco patiently waited for Hermione inside the shrieking shack. He was starting to get worried. Hermione was suppose to meet him there a half an hour ago and it wasn't like Hermione to be late. Just then he sensed someone behind him. He turned and faced the doorway. It was Hermione. He felt relief wash over him.
" I was afraid you weren't gonna come." He said as he rushed over to hug her, but as he tried to hug her she pushed him away.
" I almost didn't come" She said angerly.
" Why what's wrong?" He asked confused.
" You know I don't think you should be hugging a mudblood." Hermione said coldly. Draco almost laughed. Leave it to Hermione to get upset over something stupid like that.
" Hermione you know I only said that because I had to act like I usually do around you."
" Yeah well you didn't have to call me a mudblood." She said angrily.
" I'm sorry I didn't know it upset you so much."
" Well it does and it always has. You have no idea how much you hurt me in the past by saying it."
" I never knew it bothered you so much."
" Just because I didn't let it show doesn't mean that it didn't bother me. God how thick can you be." Hermione yelled.
Anger burned inside Draco. How dare she yell at him and call him thick. Especially after he apologized and told her why he had done it. At her last comment he lost control of himself.
" Oh I'm thick am I? I least I know what I am."
" What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Hermione said and Draco could tell she was getting really angry, but he didn't care. He was really angry and he wasn't about to just let her talk to him that way because he wasn't as Pansy called it, "Whipped"
" You are a mudblood Hermione. I wasn't aware that telling someone what they are was a crime." Said Draco and by the look on Hemione's face he knew he had said too much.
" You bastard" She whispered. " And I actually believed that you changed. You know what your right. You most probably will turn out to be just like your father. You stupid arrogant asshole."
Draco lost complete control and he grabbed Hermione by the arms. She tried to squirm free, but it was no use.
" I could kill you for that comment you little bitch." He said as he shook her violently.
Hermione's point of viewHermione was paralyzed with fear as she was held tightly in Draco's strong grip. He began shaking her, but she barely noticed. He had just said he could kill her. Suddenly she burst into tears.
" And to think that I thought that I loved you." Hermione sobbed.
That stopped Draco from shaking her, but he didn't let go of her. He just starred at her in horror as she sobbed. After a few minutes of Hermione crying she looked into his eyes and when her eyes locked with his something very unexpected happened. Draco's eyes filled with tears. Hermione stopped crying at once. Suddenly Draco let go of her and walked across the room and leaned against the wall with his back turned to her and began sobbing violently.
Draco's point of viewI'm crying Draco thought. He couldn't believe it. I don't cry. He hadn't cried in years and now here he was leaning up against a wall crying like a baby and over Hermione at that, but he couldn't take it. Hermione's words had touched him so much. She had thought she loved him. After a few moments he felt her hand touch his shoulder.
" Draco" She said. Draco didn't react. He just continued to cry.
" Why are you crying?" Hermione asked quietly.
Actually that was a good question Draco thought. Why was he crying? He guessed it was because of everything that happened. Him starting off trying to make Hermione fall for him to get info about Harry. Then he starting to actually like her. Then all he could do was think about her, then they get into a fight and he upsets her and that hurt him so bad and he never felt bad about hurting anyone before, but mostly because he knew as much as he didn't want to admit it and could hardly believe it, he knew he couldn't deny……
" Because I love you too." He said as he looked into her eyes. She just starred at him with an open mouth.
" I try not too, but I can't help it. I'm sorry I hurt you. It just scared me that I could care about someone so much and I didn't know how to act. So I guess I just acted the only way I knew how."
"Like an asshole." Hermione said seriously.
Draco couldn't help but smile slightly.
" I know you and me don't make any since and no one will except us, but I just can't stop loving you." Draco said amazed at how well the word love rolled off his tongue when he had spent his whole life never using it.
Hermione's eyes filled with tears and she smiled.
" Oh Draco I do love you. I also try not too, but I can't stop." Draco smiled at her. Then he put his arms around her waist.
" Draco" Hermione said as she looked into his eyes. " Lets not worry about our future. Lets just worry about now. We love each other and like being around each other so lets not think too much about this. Lets just be together now and not worry about later."
Draco smiled at her again. " Sounds like a plan. Your so smart." He said with a smirk.
" You whip that smirk off your face." She said playfully.
" Or what?" He said playfully back.
" Or I'll do it for you."
" Well by all means please do."
She smiled at him, leaned forward and brought her lips to his.
