From One Affair

Chapter 4

Draco went home and started throwing stuff around his room. His mother came home at the end of the gala and heard banging upstairs. As she got closer she realized it was coming from Draco's room. She didn't quite know what it was, but it had to be stopped.

Cautiously she walked in and asked, "What are you doing?"

Draco yelled, "We've worked together for months and we fought about stupid stuff, but after making a momentary connection with her she still thinks I am nothing other than a rotten death eater! She makes me so furious!"

His mother told him, "I think you are mistaken."

He spoke calmly, "I kissed her and she told me that we were too different to be together."

She argued, "I am almost positive that she didn't mean it that way when you see her at work ask her about it."

Draco said, "I am tired of trying, Mother. She'll never love me."

"If you are sure then there is no arguing with you. If you want to give up trying doing so, but you'll never know if you don't try," responded Narcissa.

Draco looked at his mother and asked her, "What else can I do?"

She answered with wisdom, "You must be her friend before you can do anything else."

Draco told her respectfully, "What would I do without you, Mother?"

Narcissa laughed, "You'd be as you were before."

He shook his head and they bid each other good night. Draco went into his bathroom and hopped into the shower. The water dripped over his head and shoulders calming him. He knew that if he gave up he really would never know and he needed to keep trying.

He spoke to himself, "I am not giving up just yet. I will have you, Hermione Granger."

He smiled and cleaned his body putting on a pair of boxers and lay in bed. Draco looked up at the ceiling and started to feel drowsy until he slipped into a deep sleep.

Miles away in her flat Hermione sat at the table in her kitchen drinking some tea. She couldn't stop asking herself what she had done. Before leaving the gala she hadn't said goodbye to anyone. Harry and Ginny were probably."

Draco told her respectfully, "What would I do without you, Mother?"

Narcissa laughed, "You'd be as you were before."

He spoke to himself, "I am not giving up just yet. I will have you, Hermione Granger."

He smiled and cleaned his body putting on a pair of boxers and lay in bed. Draco looked up at the ceiling and started to feel drowsy until he slipped into a deep sleep.

She finished her tea and got into a pair of pajamas and lay under her purple comforter turning towards the window where the moon was shining in. Even six years after the war it felt strange to be able to relax and sleep without worry of being attacked. The wizarding world had returned to normalcy like it was between the wars or close to it.

Hermione closed her eyes and drifted to sleep, but she woke up in a deep sweat at 3 am. For the first time in years she had the flashback of her time in Malfoy Manor. It was more vivid than ever, almost like being trapped in that situation all over again. She drank some dreamless sleep potion so she wouldn't have a repeat nightmare.

Hermione awoke the next morning at 8:30 am ready to start the day. She yawned and started the day. She decided to write an owl to Draco to apologize for what had occurred.

Draco,

I'm sorry for what occurred last night. I didn't mean what you thought I meant. I just meant that despite which sides we fought on during our younger years. We fight more than we agree I just don't see how it would work between us.

Hermione

She sent it off with her owl and got a reply an hour later while she was eating. She gave the black owl a treat and took the letter from it.

Hermione

All I want is the chance to prove to you that you're wrong. I know you are usually always right, but think with your heart and not with your head for once. I used to be a bad person, but I've changed. I can give you more than Weasley could, but it has nothing to do with wealth. See you on Monday

Draco

She looked at it and she'd never been so confused. They'd had sex, but was there anything else to the ministry. If they were friends could there be more. Hermione contemplated the idea.

Hermione told herself, "No matter who he was everyone deserves a second chance."

She stayed in her house and decided to read and clean the house to pass the day, then, relax with a chick flick. (What other kind of movie would she watch lol) Hermione again reread Hogwarts a History and before bed she watched Pride and Prejudice, a movie based on a romance novel she had read.

At Malfoy Manor he awaited a reply, but he didn't get one so he thought it was a bad sign or she was waiting until they would see each other again on Monday. He was seeing a friend today so there was no time to fret. At noon time his friend Blaise showed up.

Blaise asked, "Why do you look so distraught, Draco?"

"I fought with Hermione at the gala last night," said Draco.

Blaise told him, "She won't be able to resist you, Draco, you are a Malfoy remember."

Draco replied, "Let's just go out to eat and get a drink."

Blaise laughed, "Now you are talking."

They went to a club to get some drinks and relax. They ordered their drinks and Draco sat at the table while Blaise went out to the dance floor to be promiscuous with a ton of chicks. They stayed there until late at night when Blaise left with a blonde chick. Sitting at the table a little woozy Draco was approached by a dark haired girl. He wasn't thinking very much because he was under the influence. All he could picture was Hermione.

Draco brought her back to Malfoy Manor and he almost had sex with her. When he finally noticed it wasn't Hermione he backed away from her.

Draco said, "You need to leave."

She asked, "What's wrong?"

Draco admitted, "I can't do this. I want you out of my place."

She told him, "You'll wish you hadn't told me to leave."

He laughed, "I'm sure I won't."
