8. Dirty Little Secret!

Draco didn't know what an online diary was.He didn't even know what online meant. But he figured that it had to be some type of diary, for it said diary. So if it was indeed a diary maybe he could find out some stuff about Hermione and then he could make her like him. So he read some of it.

'I really like someone. But he doesn't know I that I like him. I've haven't liked him for a long time. Only since the beginning of this year. But that really doesn't matter. I find him irresistible yet I find him insufferable at the same time. He doesn't hate me but I think he just wants to be friends. But I want to be so much more. My boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend Ron kind of suspected that I liked him. But Ron is the whole reason that I won't pursue a relationship anytime soon. I'm so afraid of him. I think at anytime he could be right around the corner waiting for me and as soon as he see's me do something wrong he's going to punish me as he see's fit. No one has ever been there to protect me from him. Or has anyone ever really care. Yeah I know Harry, Ginny and Izzy care but it's not the same. Ron is the only person that I've ever had a nightmare about. The only person that has ever hurt me so badly that I hurt myself.

'Do you know how that feels. To be so afraid of someone that you protect them even when they've hurt you so bad. Because you don't want them to hurt you any more. So you think that if you can just be the person they want you to be then they will truly love you and the pain won't come anymore. And you wonder what's wrong with you. What have you done that made you have such an unhappy life. To be so afraid you don't want to close your eyes at night. Then you realize that everything is wrong with you. And no matter how many people tell you it's not your fault, you know it is.

As I can recall I've only had one good night of sleep in the past year. It was on the couch with him. I was so afraid that Ron would get me that I made him sleep on the couch with me. Though I didn't really know that I liked him then. I just needed someone to protect me.'

Draco stopped reading. He felt so bad. Hermione was such a tormented person. She had to go through so much stuff with Ron that she wasn't a truly happy person anymore. He couldn't bear to admit it but he missed the old Hermione Granger. The one that loved life and tried to make the best out of any situation. Except with him. She always made things harder with him. He use to admire her determination. Now it seemed that she was just an empty shell of a person who pretends to be happy. At that moment he decided he was going to change that. He was going to make her happy even if it was just for a little while.

Draco had figured out who Hermione was talking about. She was talking about him. So he liked her and she liked him. But the thing was he didn't know was how much Hermione liked him. He couldn't tell if it was just a crush or if it was more. He noted that she always used the word like. She never said she loved him or even that she really liked him. Draco decided that she only had a crush on him, and he was ok with that. He knew that he had been reading and thinking for a while so Hermione would soon becoming back down to get her stuff. So he closed the laptop, put it back in the spot it was in before, the moved to the other couch. About a minute later Hermione came out of the bathroom. She was wrapped in a towel.

Draco's mind immediately drifted into dirty thoughts. Hermione never made eye contact with him but she turned and entered her room. He wait one minute the hopped off the couch and knocked on her door lightly. She didn't answer. Draco could hear loud music coming from her room. So he just opened the door and walked in. She was standing with her back facing him. She was going through her closet. All she had on was a pair of black lacey underwear and a matching bra. Draco stared at her then took a moment to listen to the music that was playing.

Let me know that I've done wrong

When I've known this all along

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away

Find out games you don't wanna play

You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret

Who has to know

When we live such fragile lives

It's the best way we survive

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away

Find out games you don't wanna play

You are the only one that needs to know

He had never heard that song before, but the song wasn't the most important thing on his mind. Hermione was. He walked up to her and tapped her shoulder. She turned around. There eyes locked. Hermione felt a bit insecure but didn't say anything.

"Hermione I'm sorry." Draco said.

"You just called me by my first name." Hermione said smiling. Draco smiled back.

"I did call you by your first name, and I want you to call me by mine."

"OK." Hermione was so fricken happy right now. Draco noticed a long scar going down her stomach, then he noticed my bruise along her body. Hermione felt weird having Draco just stare at her. Mainly because she didn't know why he was staring.

"Hermione your an unhappy person. I can see it in your eyes. You've been hurt so badly and it's made you sad." Hermione nodded. She wasn't sure what to say, but the tears were being to flow again.

"I don't want you to hurt anymore. I want you to be happy. I want to make you happy." Draco said confidently.

"Draco I can't let you make me happy. What would Harry and Ginny think. Not to mention your friends. What would they think." Hermione said unhappily.

"Why does it matter what people think. I've learned now, that it doesn't. All that matters is what you want." Draco said. The song was still playing though no one was really concentrating on it. Though the words were running through Draco's head.

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)

My dirty little secret

Who has to know

The way she feels inside (inside)

Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)

These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)

And all I've tried to hide

It's eating me apart

Trace this line back

I'll keep you my dirty little secret

(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret)

"But Draco." Hermione said

"Let me make you happy. Ok. I'll keep you my dirty little secret. Who has to know?" Draco said. Hermione smiled.

"Nobody has to know." She said. He quickly walked over to her. His lips crashing into hers. They were both in completely happiness as he picked her up and laid her down on the bed.
