Chapter 7 Visiting The Past
Hermione couldn't sleep and didn't know what to do, then she had a thought. She took out her wand and slid it up her sleeve. She thought that Draco was right it was time to confront her past… or at least some of it. She said a spell in her head… the same spell she used five years ago to leave the Granger's house. She appeared out front of the little house on the hill where she was raised. She walked to the door and knocked on it. And to her surprise Draco was the one who answered it. He smiled at her.
"I knew you wouldn't stay away from here." He said as she walked past him. The Granger's were happy to see that Hermione was unharmed. She walked over to Mrs. Granger who was in her bed room, and she gave her a hug. Then she hugged Mr. Granger.
"It's been to long, Hermione, I know we lied to you but to be gone for years like this no call or letters. We still raised you like you were our own daughter!" Mrs. Granger said Hermione nodded. She felt bad for not keeping in touch, they were just part of her past that she was trying to out run. Hermione looked at them.
"I know, you raised me, you are my parents, no matter what anyone else says. I love you both and shouldn't have torture you over the years because I was trying to run from my life." Her parents nodded. She was just happy to be home. She walked out of the bedroom and looked at Draco. She didn't know how he knew that she would come here, but he did.
"So, do you still think I'm running from my past?" she asked him with a smile on her face… he gave her a sly look before he answered it.
"Parts of your past… yes! I never said you were running from your whole past… Just most of it." she let a half hearted laugh escape her lips, she still didn't forgive him, and he still hadn't asked her to.
"Well then I think I should face that part… We need to talk." He just nodded and they walked into her old room. It gave Hermione the shudders when she thought that Voldemort once stayed in there.
"Okay Hermione you want to talk again… Or do we each get our say?" He asked being sarcastic because of their last talk. Hermione just looked at him then sat on her bed.
"So how was the war?" Hermione asked smiling inside when Draco gave her a weird look.
"It was war…" He said not even thinking that she knew the truth, she then let out a laugh. He gave her a questioning look and she just laughed a little harder.
"Yeah it was just a war… Did you see Harry kill Voldemort? Or who did you fight? Anyone I know? Tell me about it…" Hermione said, he then knew she defiantly knew.
"What does it matter Hermione? What is this really all about…" He was going to continue but before he could she just shook her head at him. He sat down and expected the worst.
"I know you weren't there, You were still in this house as the war was raging on outside. You used me again but this time so you didn't have to fight in the war. I'll give you credit for two things one, never risking your own skin and two, for not caring about other people so much to use them over and over again." Draco lowered his head and waited for the rest when Hermione took a pause. "But I don't think your like that anymore… are you?" He looked up at her amazed.
"Hermione I haven't been like that in years I realized how it ended and I knew you were mad at me, I wanted to go back so many times but I couldn't bring myself to. When I found out how sick Mrs. Granger was is when I knew I really needed to look for you and I was hoping by then you would be able to give me a second chance…" Hermione again stopped him.
"I know you sent Harry, Ginny, and Ron to see me and I appreciated it so much! I spent all day talking to them, anyways my point is that it shows me that you have grown up a lot in the past five years or at least the past three years." she let a laugh out again, he smiled at her got up and walked closer to her…
"So that means we are okay?" He asked she smiled at him and nodded.
"Yeah I guess we are okay as friends!" She saw his smile dim a little as he just nodded then she shook her head, wrapped her arms around him and kissed him! He kissed her back and he made sure it was a passionate kiss too just incase he only got one kiss. When they split apart she looked at him, all she could do was smile.
