Chapter Four: Secret Meetings
Draco walked to his dormitory, seething in anger. How could she do this to him! He was her boyfriend and instead of going out with him, she was going with that weasel Ron!
He asked her first. You just chickened out.
But he was her boyfriend! Didn't he deserve to go out with her even though he hadn't asked first?
Ron's her best friend. And she knew that she had to go with him so that you and she wouldn't be found out. Besides, he was disappointed that Hermione would not go with him. Do you know it feels like to have to please best friends all the time?
But still!
She even bothered to apologise to you, and you just left her like that. What were you thinking? How many girls actually talk to you like that? Doesn't she deserve any respect?
Draco knew that was right. He had been such a prat. What was worse was that he had just left her at the garden without even listening to her! He had acted selfishly and inconsiderately. Stopping at one of the windows, he peered outside at the garden, and saw Hermione still there. Her face was buried in her hands, and her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably. His heart twisted in pain. She was crying. And he had to do something.
He started to run from where he had just returned.
Hermione wiped the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. She felt upset that Draco had just left her like that. She did not want to disappoint him, but she had no choice! Why couldn't he understand!
"Why don't you understand?" she sobbed loudly, rocking the swing that she was sitting on.
"Cos' I am stupid, I'm an idiot, and I was jealous. I am sorry," she heard a voice, and spun around to face Draco.
"Didn't you just leave?" she asked, as she brushed off the tears on her now tear-streaked face.
Draco shuffled his feet as he sat on the swing awkwardly. "Yeah, but I knew what I did was wrong. I'm sorry. Please, forgive me. "He said softly, as he stared into Hermione's eyes. Hermione smiled weakly. "I am sorry too; I didn't really want to go with him. But, I had no choice."
Draco smiled as he traced her cheek with his finger, as she shivered. "It's alright, babe. I have a better idea. In order to liven up your date with that boring Ron, meet me at the back of the Three Broomsticks, at 3 pm. You're probably going at one, right?"
Hermione nodded.
"Well, you know what to do two hours later," he said. Leaning forward, he whispered into her ears," We will have some fun." Hermione giggled, as she hugged him, stroking his hair. Draco kissed her, and hand in hand, they strolled out of the garden, and into Hogwarts, together.
It was at that very moment that Hermione and Draco knew that everything was going to be just wonderful.
It was a new day, and Hermione, Ron, and Harry walked down from their dorm to the boisterous hall. As Harry and Ron argued about the Quidditch Championships, Ginny and Hermione discussed about the latest news and gossip, when suddenly Ginny asked Hermione where she had been last night.
Hermione was startled. "Wh-what do-do y-you mean?" she stuttered, knowing that she was in a dangerous position.
"Well, I had forgotten to lay out my clothes for today, so I woke up at about 12.45. I also wanted to ask you whether you had seen my new scarf, but when I checked your bed, you weren't there. I was too tired to search for you, so I went back to sleep. Where were you?" Ginny asked curiously.
Quick, think of something before she gets suspicious!
Hermione thought hard. "Well, uh, I was not feeling sleepy, and, uh, I needed to get some, uh, fresh air. Yeah. So, I, uh, went for a walk at the garden outside.
"Oh, "Ginny said. "So, you are coming to Hogsmeade with Ron, right?"
Hermione nodded, faking a smile.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world," she lied.
That's it for Chapter Four, guys! Hope it was good. Remember, the more you review, the faster I update! Thanks, and hope you enjoyed it!
