Chapter Two- Seeing You Again
She didn't see Draco again until night. She could see him across the hall, chatting to some Slytherins. McGonagall stood up and announced to all that Dumbledore was going to give his usual speech.
Then Dumbledore stood up, cleared his throat andsaid, "Good evening students. Another blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blabitty blob (you know what he says here) blah blah blah Miss Granger and Mister Malfoy are Head Girl and Head Boy, a round of applause for them. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Eat up".
Everybody began eating. After half an hour, McGonagall made her way towards the Gryffindor table and told Hermione to follow her. As soon as she stood up, she saw that Draco was behind McGonagall. She avoided eye contact.
They went upstairs and they stopped in front of a gargoyle.
McGonagall said "Chocolate Frogs are getting old and we decided to come up with a new password and until we figure that out this will be the password. Wait, we don't have one, so repeat what I just said" , and the gargoyle moved to a side and there was a door behind it.
They went in and found out that it was a small but comfortable apartment. As soon as you went in it had two couches facing each other. To the left there was a small kitchen, to the right a bathroom and behind the couches there was a stairway that led to the rooms. At the side of the stairway there was a monkey cage and a birdcage with a little green parrot called Picasso (Others understand why the animals are here, don't freak out).
McGonagall turned and said, "I'll leave you two now" and turned to leave when Draco suddenly said "But what's the password?"
"You heard all I said. All that is the password, it's for extra protection" and she left.
Hermione stood staring at the apartment but she could feel Draco staring at her so she faced him. They stood staring for a long time until Hermione spoke.
"I'm going to find my bed", and began making her way towards he staircase.
Once upstairs, it wasn't hard to tell which room belonged to who since one had the Gryffindor emblem and the other one the Slytherin one. Hermione went inside her room, changed and went to bed, without bothering saying good night to Draco.
Draco went into his room and sat on his bed. She looks more beautiful than ever. He missed Hermione so much, it felt like he'd been stabbed over and over again. He missed her smile, her scent, her lips…Draco closed his eyes and envisioned the times they were together, her warm and shivering body pressed against his naked form. Draco began to feel the tightening in his pants and took a deep breath to control his thoughts. He stood up and left the room.
She stayed staring at the floor for a long time until she heard her door opening. She closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep. She couldn't hear anything for a minute but then felt his hand rest on her cheek. She didn't dare move. Draco stared at her face for a long time and he realized that she could wake up at any moment. He pressed his lips against her forehead. Hermione wanted to cry. He stayed for a couple of seconds, and then he stepped back and left.
Hermione opened her eyes and felt a tear on her cheek. She missed him so much and Ron could never replace him. She hoped things would have been better and less painful.
