Dance of A Lifetime
Chapter 3
"Draco, you haven't told me exactly HOW you came across that beautiful unicorn…" Hermione pointed out as Draco headed towards his room.
Hermione continued to pester Draco about the matter and he said, "I had her specially ordered from a sanctuary in Britain. I ordered her special for you. Just for you Hermione dear."
Hermione heard what he said but she didn't believe him. Over the years she had witnessed his ability to 'buy' just about anything he wanted thanks to his father's reputation. She looked at him and said, "Are you telling me the truth Draco? Because if she's stolen, then I wont be able to accept the little filly even thought you meant well about it" Hermione stopped before she began a new sentence as she noticed the look of heart-wrenching pain on his face.
Draco shouted, "Do you not trust me Hermione? Do you not see that I have changed nearly my whole being to make you happy? Or do you CHOOSE not to see it because of my past? Because if that is how you have been feeling then I don't know what I will do with my life…." He finished his last statement as he pushed past Hermione and ran towards his room. Draco ran into his room and sat down on his bed. He flicked his wand at his chandelier and the lights dimmed to near complete darkness.
Hermione stood stalk-still in his doorway and her mind raced to find the answer to his question… She had fallen mentally when he begun yelling and she was only beginning to stand when he ran from her.
Draco did not stop Hermione from entering his room and did not even look at her when she sat down next to him and draped her arms around his shoulder and chest. When he did look at her, he looked as though he would start screaming again but instead he smiled and leaned into Hermione's embrace fully.
This took her completely by surprise and she nearly fell backwards. The two began swaying side-to-side Hermione whispered a poem into Draco's ear. The poem was this:
Never thought I'd see the day
That somebody cared
Not for my problems or my pain
But for me and who I am
Never thought I'd see the day
When someone understood
Not the contemplations of every thing I say
But the love I share in every day
Never thought I'd see the day
Where my sky was blue
Not with clouds or smog or smoke
But a beautiful gleaming sun
Never thought I'd see that day
That is until it came
It came the day that you arrived
Now my life has changed
Because of you
And now I know no matter what
You're here to make my dream
(Of perfect day) into reality
At that, Draco turned towards Hermione and pulled her into a large smothering hug. He stood up swiftly and tugged Hermione up with him. She looked into his steely silver eyes and wondered why she'd never told him that poem before. Then she remembered all those years of him calling her 'Mud blood'. She decided then and there to put that past behind her and to look only towards her future with Draco.
At that same moment, Draco was thinking nearly the exact same thing. But his version was more like, 'I wonder when she wrote that poem…' He stopped wondering and swept her into his arms like a parent carries a small child as he kissed her on the forehead.
In response, she looked once again into his eyes and pulled him into a kiss so long that both of them were gasping for air by the time they parted.
Draco carried Hermione to her room and laid her down on her bed. He lay down on the other side and they sat there for hours just wondering what the other was thinking. After about two hours, Draco got up, tucked the sleeping Hermione in, and tiptoed back to his own room.
The next morning, Hermione awoke to flower petals on her blankets and a note on her bedside table. She read the note and it said,"
Hermione,
Please get dressed and come join me in the Dining Hall, for I have another surprise for you here by the breakfast table. Seeing as I'm sue you miss Hogwarts quite a bit, I assume you will enjoy today's surprise….
Love,
Draco"
Hermione was completely baffled as to what Draco could have done, but she assumed that he would, at this point, do just about anything to please her… Hermione donned her favorite teal sundress and waltzed down the stairs to breakfast.
Draco was waiting near the table so that Hermione wouldn't see her surprise hiding on either sides of the door.
As Hermione entered, Draco gave a signal towards either side of the door and soon all Hermione could see was the Dark Blue robes and flaming red hair of Ron and Harry jumping out at her. She screamed: first in surprise, then in delight as she hugged her two best friends. She squeezed them both half to death and then stopped cold in her tracks. She looked at them sternly and said, "Hello Ronald, Harry, how have you been since the Dance hmm?"
Harry was the one who answered first, while Ron looked as if he was going to explode. "Well Hermione, we are both glad that you are happy and I at least, am sorry for the way I acted the other night."
Ron just stood there turning red and trying to look sincere, but failing. Ron opened his mouth to speak but instead, he just pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill. At which point he wrote,
"Hermione, I would tell you I was sorry if Harry would take this blasted bloody silencing charm off me!"
Hermione poked Harry in the ribs and released Ron from the charm herself. She hugged Ron as he began to string curses together and Hermione ended up taking both Harry and Ron's Wands.
Draco didn't have time to explain himself before one of the families' house elves appeared and 'poofed' breakfast on to the table.
