Night 18

I'm sitting at the spot, alone. Ron's with Harry, doing Merlin knows what. I'm sure it's something stupid. And besides, I like the peace and quiet.

I sigh and look around. I don't see anyone. I lay down and close my eyes. I'm feeling very rejected tonight. I can't stop thinking about Draco. I can't let him go! It was just a few snog sessions.

So why can't I just leave it at that?

My hikkey still wont go away. Do you know how hard it is to forget about someone when every time you look in the mirror, you see that your marked by them. I've always thought of hikkeys as marking your territory. So did Draco mark me as his own?

I feel tears burn my eyes and I hold them back. I sniffle a bit and bite on my quivering lower lip. I've got to fight back the sobs.

"Granger?"

I open my eyes and look up. Draco Malfoy is standing there. His eyes are filled with confusion. I sit up and wipe my eyes. I can't even at him.

He sits down next to me. "What is your problem?" he asks. I can tell he's trying to be nice about it.

"Nothing that I want to talk about."

I look over at him to see his eyes sort of angry. "Don't tell me that your crying over Weasel." he says, almost disgusted in me.

I shake my head. "No, it's not about Ron." I confirm. "I told you I don't want to talk about it."

He sighs stressfully and he pins me down on the floor. "Why do you always make me pin you down?" he asks. "You could always tell me without having to deal with this step."

Part of me wants to say, 'I like this step' but I hold back. I look up at him and I feel my heart flutter and die all at the same time. I feel something snap inside of me and I begin to sob.

"Woah, what is wrong!" he asks, sounding worried.

I shake my head and the tears still fall. "I can't…tell you." I sob.

What happens next shocks me. He reaches down and pulls me into his arms. "Hermione, please stop crying." he whispers into my ear. His arms are tight around me. "Please stop."

I begin to breathe deep and focus on something else. Once my crying stops, Draco lets go. I look up at him. "You called me Hermione again."

He smirks. "I guess I did."

I bite my lower lip again and push him away. "Why are you here comforting me?" I ask.

He looks away and he sighs. "I just came from Pansy and I noticed you laying here and I had a feeling something was wrong." he explains.

I feel my heart hurting all over again. "Just leave me alone." I say.

"Why?"

"I don't need your sympathy. You've got your girl and I've got my guy. It just so happens that my guy wasn't what I thought he was." I say.

"Hermi-"

I look over at him and look him straight in the eyes. "Stop calling me by my first name." I say. He stops. "Look, I understand that there is nothing in-between us. I got that. But don't make it worse."

"Make what worse!" he asks. I can tell he's very confused.

I shake my head. "Just don't come around me anymore." I say and I stand.

"Granger!"

I turn around and look at him. "Run back to your dormitories. I'm sure you've got someone waiting there for you." I sneer and walk away.
