Chapter 6
Throughout the whole movie Draco kept trying to keep Hermione's attention off CJ, which was pretty hard until he said, with a smirk,
"Do you really think that Blaise would appreciate you hanging all over this Californian, Hermione?" That did the trick! Draco thought with satisfaction as Hermione grew red and turn her attention away from CJ.
"Who's Blaise?" CJ asked.
"Oh, he's just Hermione's boyfriend from back home. But, don't worry you're not the first to be caught in this…" Draco took in a breath and looked at Hermione. Then he continued, "…there are two other guys in London that she is juggling right along with you and Blaise."
Just then Hermione whispered in Draco's ear, "We need to talk." Oh! She sounds mad! Draco thought.
"We'll be right back." Hermione told the others as her and Draco walked down the aisle and out the theater. As soon as they were out of ear-shot, Hermione burst out at Draco,
"What the bloody hell is wrong with you!" But Draco didn't say a word; he thought she was hot when she was mad. He just looked at her and smirked. He suddenly got this weird feeling deep down inside. He then grabbed Hermione's arm, pulled her around a corner, pushed her against a wall and kissed her. He was half expecting her to push away but was surprised to find that she was kissing him back.
Hermione couldn't believe what was happening. This is exactly what she had been wanting without even realizing it. Hermione was in heaven. She was floating on a cloud with Draco and wouldn't let go. But then she came to her senses, she pushed him away and slapped him hard across the face.
"What was that for!" He cried placing his hand on the tender, red skin which was now throbbing.
"You know perfectly well what that was for Draco! How DARE you kiss me!" Hermione was furious! How could he manipulate me of all people? This is the same Draco Malfoy who had been giving my friends and me a hard time since first year! She thought.
"If I recall correctly, Hermione, you kissed me back! So don't go yelling at me! Hell, Granger! I don't even know WHY I did it! Maybe I have feelings for you!" Draco couldn't believe what he was saying, he was a Malfoy! Malfoy's did NOT have feelings for mud bloods. But, here he was pouring out his feelings to her that had been confusing him for the longest time.
Hermione was shocked. She couldn't believe what he was saying. She thought that he was just kissing her to keep her away from CJ…but now she finds out that, that wasn't it at all, "Are you serious?" Draco Malfoy? Draco Malfoy has feelings for me? She thought, the same Draco Malfoy that all the girls wanted to be theirs and he has feelings for me?
"Yes Granger," Draco panted. His hand was still on his burning cheek. "Yes I admit it. I have feelings for you! Gosh, why do you always have to think that I am just an arrogant jerk all the time?"
"Because you are…" She replied without looking at him.
"Maybe sometimes, but never when it comes to my feelings about another person." Draco told Hermione, sounding a little offended.
"Oh," That was all Hermione could say…she felt so bad, "Do you want to try again?"
Draco was really surprised at what she just asked. But, of course, he had no objections. So he moved closer to her and pulled her lips to his. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever and then they pulled apart and looked deeply in each others eyes.
"We should go back now." Draco panted after a while. He put his hands on her hips and walked with her back to the theater. They went and sat down and Draco put his arm around Hermione. She responded to this by leaning up against him.
They then suddenly remembered exactly what movie they were watching and got really nervous again. Throughout the whole thing they slowly got more and more surprised, everything that was happening actually had happened in their life and they thought that they were just going crazy or something. This wasn't very good. Muggles know about magic but they just don't think it's real…even though it is. Both Hermione and Draco wanted to tell their new friends the truth but, they knew that they couldn't.
When the movie was over, Hermione and Draco walked out of the theater hand in hand, quite nervous about the fact that pretty much every one in California knew who they were...what if someone figured it out? Draco stopped thinking about it long enough to realize how mad CJ looked when he saw Draco with Hermione. Draco was very pleased with that and then thought of Blaise. He wished that Blaise could see him and Hermione now. Right then they got to the cars and Hermione and Draco went their separate ways with the others.
On the way back to the dorms, Heather suddenly said,
"Hey! Let's go to Starbucks! I could really use a nice ice cold coffee!"
"Sounds great!" Sarah Beth replied enthusiastically.
So, they went to Starbucks. When they walked in…
"Heather!" Someone shouted, "What's up?"
"Oh! Hey Caitlyn! Nothing much, we're just taking our new friend on a tour of California." Heather replied with a smile. "She's from London."
"Hey! How yah doin?" Caitlyn asked Hermione with a smile. "I'm Caitlyn."
"I'm doing fine, thanks. Oh and I'm Hermione." After the introduction they got their coffees. Heather got a Café Vanilla Blended Cappuccino that looked very good. Sarah Beth got a Carmel Mocha Blended Cappuccino and Hermione decided to get the Pumpkin Spice Blended Coffee which tasted amazing!
"Thank you guys so much for everything." Hermione said after a while. "You have been great friends."
"Ah, no sweat Hermione." Heather said, "It's the least we could do. You are a very sweet girl. Oh and by the way! We start school tomorrow." She finished with a grin.
"You'll be very popular with the guys Hermione. Trust me." The way Sarah Beth said it, made Hermione trust her. Now Hermione was nervous. She couldn't help thinking that if she was going to be popular with the guys…what about Draco and the girls?
