Chapter Five - Food for Thought
Hermione's POV
Time changes how you perceive people take Malfoy as an example. The pratty, ignorant boy I went to school with, the bully of my first seven years of Hogwarts, my enemy. How can he cause a reaction in me like the way he did with that one look. How could he stand to look at me with lust dripping through his gaze? How could he just look at me that way after seeing his aunt torture me and cave that awful word in my arm.
Why? Why couldn't he have at least expressed remorse before taking up this offer? Why does he have to make me want him? OMG this year is going to be hell.
The jostle of Shadow slowing down brings me out of my internal debate. Dismounting I lead Shadow to the stall at the back; where I go about grooming him and refilling his hay and water. Looking towards my beloved horse I whisper "Wish me luck." Turning towards the door I walk out of the barn towards those people that made my education so horrible. When i get closer to them I notice Malfoy's eyes keep following me; in embarrassment I look down to the ground and try to stop from shifting nervously under his gaze. The rest of the group had turned to leave to the explore there grounds, Malfoy just stays put and keeps looking at me weirdly; "Hey Malfoy you do know what tomorrow is right?"
"Course I do Granger it's Sunday." He replies smugly,
"Well yes it is but its actually your first day of rehabilitation so enjoy the counselling." I said with a huge smirk on my face; with that I leave to go back to the house and let him stew over what I have said.
Draco's POV
9th of May
This day just keeps dragging, that stupid woman wouldn't shut up all through our sessions not that I was paying attention the view through the window was so much more captivating. The way her dress swirled around her body as she danced in the gardens thinking no one could see her, some weird wires protruding out of her ears. The sun reflecting on her hair making a glowing halo, the smile on her face and the look of passion in her movements; what I wouldn't give to be the one to make her smile and laugh, to be the one to make her feel that passion.
"Now Draco why do you think you took the 'Mark' at such an young age?" the stupid bint asked
"Hmm I don't know maybe because it was expected" I bit back at her
"Why do you think that was?"
"How bout you ask my stupid dead beat father" smirking as she looked slightly put out before scribbling furiously in a book thing full of parchment.
"Draco please tell me how you're feeling about this new situation?"
"How bout you tell me how the fuck you would feel?" 'Ha that should wipe that concern look right off her face'
"Why such hostility Mr Malfoy?"
"Why so many questions?"
Finally pushing her patience she dismissed me from the session.
A/N Also i wanted to say that this story will most likely not be sticking totally with the decade in which JK wrote it in there will be mentions of modern technologies, movies and song just because i couldnt find these that i liked for it, clothing will not be for the time period as i hated the fashion. 3 Shaina
