Chapter 8

How Did I Fall In Love With You?

When Draco arrived at the front door his hand went to grasp the doorknob and turn it though something stopped him, instead he crept around the back of the house and saw an open window.

As Draco went to climb through the open window something off to the side of his vision moved and he stiffened, before realising it had not attacked him yet.

Once he was inside the room he walked over to the sleeping figure on the couch and realised it was Granger.

Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone

Draco didn't know what to do. This was the woman he had fallen in love with, though underneath her mask she was his enemy. Though Draco knew that she had done the exact same with him.


Those days are gone, and I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight

Draco gently swept her fringe away from her face, and saw the way her nose scrunched up when he touched it; it was exactly the same way that Diane had done it.

'Though really it was Granger all along' he thought to himself as he sat down on the coffee table a stared at her, this woman in front of him was two women. On he was madly in love with and the other was his most hated enemy the girl who he had lost to all through school. Now he had to choose which one she would be, and who he would be to her. Draco knew it wouldn't be an easy decision, his heart or possibly his life and even then she might still reject him.

"Oh Hermione," he whispered to no one in particular, rather to comfort him in this dark and cold times. "How did I fall in love with you…" he said as he gently caressed her cheek.


What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

&&&

Hermione on hearing this froze. This man had just confessed to himself that he still loved her. Not only had he done it not for her but for himself he had also called her by her real name.

Hermione had to use all her will power not to let the unshed tears in her eyes spill. The only thing that kept Hermione from telling John or whoever he is that she felt the same as him was that she did not know who he really was.


I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble
I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight

&&&

Draco knew that sitting here would not solve this or what he was going to say to Voldermort both about Granger and the Order. As he began to pull his hand away from her cheek, a hand came up and stopped him from moving his hand any further away. As he looked at her he saw her open her eyes and I sat there transfixed by her deep almost never ending chocolate eyes.


What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

I did not know what to do or say until she sat up, still holding on to my hand all the while. This was the most awkward position I was in, even when girls asked about my 'Sex God' status in Hogwarts I had never felt this way. Then a voice in the back of my head replied 'you're in love mate that's why.'

&&&

Hermione knew she had to ask the question; there was no other way to know who he really was. Just as she went to open her mouth and ask him he spoke.

"Hermione," he began and when he saw he look up a look of fear crossed his face for a second before he swallowed and took a deep breath.

"Hermione, you probably want to know who I really am, right." He said, to which her only response was a nod. "Well first I would like you to hear me out before you start jumping to conclusions ok."

Hermione was shocked by this, if he did not want to tell her who he was then he must have been hiding something big. Just as he went to speak she knew that she had to trust him so she kept her mouth shut tight and let him speak.


Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah

&&&

Draco knew he had to tell her he loved her and would do anything for her though he knew that if she knew who he really was then she would not have listened to him and probably run out of the house screaming bloody murder all the way to the order's head quarters.

"Hermione when I first met you I never thought I would ever love you at all especially in this way, though over the last two years you have not only shown me that you care for me, but you have also given me in a way a new life a chance to go on for I knew you and your love was always there. And I do promise you I will do anything for you, I swear that."

With this out he looked up at her and saw the puzzled look on her face, he knew he had to tell her the who he was, no more stalling just the plain bare truth.

I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life

"Hermione I love you and I hope you love me as well." Draco said to her as he placed both of his hands on hers and she whispered to him.

"Who are you?" she asked, Draco knew there was no going back from this. "Draco Malfoy…" was all he said before a look of sheer horror appeared across her face as she suddenly jerked her hands away from his and sat as into the couch as she possible could, as if she was trying to get away from him.

&&&

Hermione's mind was reeling, the man she had loved for two years was none other that the boy who had made her life living hell for 7 years. Hermione was confused one part of her said to run and kill the bastard he had to be lying the other part of her wanted her to just kiss him, it didn't matter if he was Malfoy or John she loved him and he had told her who he really was so he must lover her for that.


What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?

"Show me," she said to him. Hermione knew she could not leave him hanging he deserved an answer no matter how hard it would be for her.

&&&

Draco never expected it though he should have know that Granger would always want proof, so he picked up his wand from beside him on the table and said the spell that removed his disguise. Showing both him and his mark to her.

Draco felt as if his heart was being wrenched from inside of him, the suspense was only making it worse.


What can I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew

Draco had his eyes on his shoes for a full minute after casting the spell before he was able to look up at Granger. When he saw the look in her eyes of disgust and horror he went to stand and leave though her hand prevented him from leaving. When he glanced back at Granger the look on her face had completely changed, and when their eyes met she smiled, before standing up as well.


How did I fall,
in love,
with you?

They stood there for a full minute before Draco took a step towards her and closed the gap, and took her other hand with his. Just before he went to kiss her he whispered in her ear.

"How did I fall in love with you?"

And before she replied to this she captured his lips in a kiss, so different to any other that they had ever shared. This one kiss said everything the passions they felt for each other, the understanding of their love for each other and that they would always be there.

Then she fell into his embrace before leaning up and whispering her reply.

"The same way I did when I first met the real you…"

A/N: I know this is different to the movie; they had violence and explosions like a true Hollywood movie. I just felt that them talking would be more confronting, as Hermione didn't yet know who John really was unlike in the movie where they both knew they were spies for the opposite sides. In the next chapter there is an option for some violence though I wont be between Draco and Hermione more Voldermort or order vs. Draco and Hermione, if you readers would like that though I was thinking of saving that for the war, the options up to you review and tell me what you want or think.

Read & Review please people!!
