You Know You Love me
Chapter 2
Brooke smiled when she heard the response she got. 'I guess it runs in the family,' thought Brooke as she followed Professor Snape to the dungeons. They finally stopped before a large stone serpent.
"I hope that you will behave in a manner that reflects well on your House," said Snape, "or there will be hell to pay. The password to enter the common room is pureblood, your room has your name on it. Even a dunce could find it so I suppose you will have no trouble."
As Snape left, Brooke said the password for the common room and walked in. Some of the students who were sitting in the common room that were around her age didn't bother looking up from their books, and the younger ones only glanced her way. Walking past the doors for the rooms Brooke read some names she recognized because they were names of some friends of her father until she came to a door that had 'Dawson' and 'Parkinson' on it closer to the end of the hall. Brooke opened the door and walked in.
The room was not really small but not big either. It had two beds that were both twin size she would say, with deep green drapes so you could have privacy when sleeping. Also the sheets were an emerald silky green with a deeper green for a comforter. Next to each bed was a night stand/dresser and on the other side of the beds was a desk for each girl. She also saw that all her things were brought to her room, her trunk say in front of her bed and her owl was placed a top the trunk. It was then Brooke noticed the girl sitting on the other bed.
Sensing someone's eyes on her the girl on the bed looked up.
"Hi you must be my new roommate," she said.
"Hi Brooke Dawson," said Brooke extending her hand.
"Pansy Parkinson, nice you meet you," Pansy said shaking her hand.
'Oh so this must be that Pansy girl that Draco hates so much. She is even uglier then how he described her,' Brooke thought with a small smile. Brooke got all her things situated and decided to head out to the common room, and who did she see sitting there but none other than her lovely cousin Draco.
"You are such a liar Draco," said Brooke who sat down next to him on the couch.
"Why do you say that?" he asked truly confused.
"You never said she was that ugly, she was worse than ugly. She was fugly! Gross! And I even have to share a room with her for the rest of the year, nasty!" said Brooke shaking her head as if trying to get the mental picture of Pansy Parkinson out of her head.
"Who are you talking about?" asked Draco who was really confused. Then as if on queue Pansy Parkinson walked out of her room and into the common room. "Oh you mean that thing." Draco said with a laugh after understanding what Brooke had meant.
"Yea that thing is my roommate for the entire year. Yea me! " Brooke said with a bit of sarcasm at the end.
"Oo that sucks, I'm glad I'm not you haha. Well its kinda getting late, so I am going to go back to my room. I will see you tomorrow in class. Hey what do you say you meet me after classes and dinner tomorrow so we can talk about classes and other things, okay?" Draco said whispering the last part so people didn't hear.
"Oh yea that's fine. I will talk to you tomorrow I'm going to head to the showers. Bye" Brooke said to Draco as they headed in opposite directions. Brooke got her things ready and headed for the showers. After she finished her shower she went back to her room where she fell asleep dreaming about a new school year.
…
After leaving Brooke Draco went back to the head common room. He was ready to pass out on his bed he was so tired, but he just had to run into Hermione on his way to the bathroom.
"Watch where you are going Mudblood," sneered Draco.
"You were the one that ran into me Malfoy," said a frustrated Hermione. "If you could only get your head out of you ass then you wouldn't have ran me over."
Draco really didn't want to start anything, for once, because he was just too tired to really care. All he wanted to do was take a shower and get a good nights sleep before the first day of classes.
"Good god for once can you just shut up. I know it's hard for you but you should really try."
"Why don't you make me Malfoy?"
"Fine"
In the next second Hermione was shocked as she felt Draco's lips close onto hers. After the shock wore away she gradually melted into the kiss. His lips were soft but fierce and passionate at the same time. As the kiss became deeper Hermione moved her hands around Draco's neck and was moved to her back was against the wall. It was then that Hermione realized what she was doing, although she didn't stop it, and her next thought shocked her. Hermione actually liked kissing Malfoy, she had kissed other boys before but Malfoy was the best by far. All of those thoughts were just wiped away with the feeling of his lips on hers. Although Hermione thoroughly enjoyed what they were doing she knew it was wrong and they had to stop so she pushed Draco away from her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?!" said Hermione try to sound angry.
"You told me to make you shut up and I did. Don't lie, you know you liked it" Draco said with his trademark smirk.
"No I did not like it. Kissing a Malfoy, that's just GROSS!" said Hermione trying to sound angry but Draco could see she was lying.
"So are you telling me that if I kiss you again then you would hate it?"
"Yes that is exact-" Hermione was cut off by Draco's lips on hers. She tried to not let his kiss affect her but after a few seconds she gave in and kissed him back. Draco pulled away leaving Hermione wanting more.
"See I told you, you liked it. I bet I'm better than the weasel at kissing."
Although Hermione wouldn't have known how good a kisser Ron was, she blushed. "I have never kissed Ron so I wouldn't know"
"Aww poor weasel, he can't even get any from his lady that's sad."
"I'm not his lady"
"Yea but I bet you he wishes you were."
Hermione was getting more angry at Draco every time he opened his mouth. Him with his cocky attitude and saying that she was or is together with Ron; she doesn't and never has had any inclination to be with Ron.
"Ron and I have never and will never be together. Trust me he doesn't want that and neither do I."
"Sure whatever. He wants you and you can't deny that. Now we can stand here all night and fight about this but I am going to take a shower and go to bed, Good night."
"Mhm" Hermione mumbled as she went to her room in a huff. She couldn't believe his nerve, kissing her not only once but twice! Oh she could just go over there and kill him. Malfoy kissed her! Hermione wanted that to be disgusting and revolting, but she liked it, 'no' Hermione thought, 'I really enjoyed it. In fact I want to do it again. OH MY GOD what am I thinking?! I want to kiss Malfoy? I'm supposed to hate him, not want to kiss him."
Hermione tired to get all of that out of her head and just go to sleep. But try as she might her dreams were full of Draco and her kissing and she woke up too early, even for Hermione and knowing she wasn't getting back to sleep she got up to take a shower.
…
As Draco left Hermione and headed into the bathroom to take his shower his thoughts were filled with how he had actually like kissing her. He hadn't meant for it to go as far as it had, but he didn't mind at all. Although he had thought that it would have been a one time thing Draco found himself wanting to kiss her again. 'I can't like her; she is a fucking mudblood for god sake. Liking her and wanting to kiss her is not an option' thought Draco as he finished his shower and put his pajama's on. He climbed into his large king size bed. Draco fell asleep and dreamed about what had happened with Hermione and himself. What he didn't know was that Hermione was having a similar dream across the hall.
When Draco woke up the next day he looked at his clock that read 6:30. Figuring he wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep and he had to get up in an hour anyways he decided to go and get ready for breakfast and his classes. Rubbing his sleepy eyes he didn't see the bushy haired girl come out of the bathroom and ran into her knocking her over.
"My god Malfoy do you ever look where you are going? You are such a pain in my ass!" said an angry Hermione who had been reminded of last night and looking at a half naked Draco with only pajama pants on was not helping her problem. "Ugg, I hate you"
"Yeah but you weren't saying that last night now were you. You know you like it" said Draco smirking as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms.
"As I said last night I hated it and I hate you! What gives you the right to think you can kiss me?" Hermione was trying to keep her cool but Draco was making her lose it, fast.
"I can do anything I want. If I wanted to kiss you right here right now I would and could do it. Besides what makes you think you can tell me what I have the right to do or not?"
"I do have that right when its about me"
"Oh yea?"
"Yes I do-"
Just to prove his point Draco kissed Hermione, but just as sudden as it started Draco pulled away. He gave Hermione his trademark smirk and gave her a look of 'I told you so' and went into the bathroom. Fuming Hermione just wanted to slap that smirk off his face. Still angry Hermione went to her room and got ready for the day and then went to the Great Hall for some breakfast. All the way down she kept on replaying the kiss and the more she thought about it the angrier she became.
Breakfast went by fairly normal although Ron and Harry were wondering what had Hermione all frazzled she managed to convince then everything was fine. Hermione looked to her schedule and saw she had Defense Against the Dark Arts class first, she wanted to get a head start as usual and told Harry and Ron she would meet them in the class after going to the library first.
When Harry and Ron left the Great Hall Harry noticed that Brooke was helping a small first year Gryffindor who had dropped his books and papers all over the floor, he also noticed that she was wearing a Slytherin tie and crest. 'A Slytherin helping a Gryffindor now that is something you don't see every day' thought Harry to himself, and with that he felt a new appreciation for her. Anyone, especially a Slytherin, who would help a small first year Gryffindor got points in Harry's book. 'Maybe she isn't that bad after all' thought Harry as he walked past her giving her a small smile which she returned.
Harry and Ron made their way to Defense Against the Dark Arts where Harry sat down in his assigned seat and noticed that Ron's seat was somewhere else. Those thoughts were pushed away when Brooke came and sat down next to him, and then right before the class started Harry felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He looked up to see who it was and he saw Brooke looking at him.
"Harry I just wanted to say I am really sorry for what I said on the train. I didn't mean it, you seem like a really great guy" said Brooke who seemed as if she was really sincere when apologizing to him.
Harry could tell Brooke had actually meant what she said, "Thanks and you seem like a great girl too" he said with a smile.
As class started and Professor Crêpe introduced herself and passed out notes Harry couldn't help but stare at Brooke. 'She is really beautiful,' thought Harry. Harry hadn't noticed how long and noticeably he was staring at Brooke when he heard Draco say something behind him.
"Potter, you have flies swimming laps in that pool of saliva on your desk" said Draco smirking but slightly annoyed. Brooke looked up from her work and looked at Draco and then Harry. At that remark Harry blushed and sent Malfoy a dirt look and continued, or more like started taking notes.
When class ended Professor Crêpe gave out some homework and asked if she could see Harry after class for a few minutes. She wanted to talk to him and ask him for a favor.
"Professor you wanted to see me?" asked Harry who was hoping it wouldn't involve anything bad.
"Yes I understand that you had started a Defense Against Dark Arts club of sorts and I wanted to talk to you about starting up another Defense Against the Dark Arts club. I wanted to see how you would feel about the idea, and if you would want to be the head of the club" said Crêpe as she looked Harry in the eye.
That was the last thing Harry had expected to hear, not being prepared Harry didn't answer right away, but after the initial shock was gone he told Crêpe what he thought.
"Yeah it would be incredible to start a Defense Against the Dark Arts club. I think it would be a great thing to start up again. We can talk about it later I have to go to class."
"Yes absolutely. Now you are late for class. I'll walk you and explain why you are late, alright? What class are you going to?" said Crêpe as she got off her desk and headed towards the door.
"I have potions" said Harry who followed his teacher to the dungeons. When he got there Harry opened the door and walked in. Snape looked up from the blackboard with a greasy smirk planted on his face but before he could say anything to Harry Professor Crêpe walked in and Snape's expression changed to one of embarrassment.
"Hello Professor Snape I apologize for keeping Mr. Potter. I needed to talk with him about some important business. I hope you will understand." Crêpe said with a smile.
"H-he-hello P-Pr-Pro-Professor Crê-Crêpe" said Snape stammered with a bright red face. The class started snickering and Snape became more embarrassed. "Go-go-good by-bye"
"Good bye Professor, again sorry for the intrusion" said Crêpe smiling at Snape as she turned to head back to her classroom.
Snape forgot about the notes as he told his class to read silently, as he went out of the room to his 'office' . Harry sat down next to Ron and saw Hermione and Malfoy were paired up together as lab partners. Thinking that was a bit strange he asked why they were sitting together and he found out that Snape had actually made them sit together. It was all about the Head students being civil and how Dumbledore is trying to have unity between houses and he likes to begin with the Head Students.
The next class they had was transfiguration with McGonagall and the Hufflepuffs. When they got their Ron sat down with an empty seat on each side of him. Thinking both Harry and Hermione were going to sit there, Harry sat down next to Ron but Hermione chose to sit elsewhere. The next thing he knew Ernie McMillian sat down next to him, and gave him a smile. Ron couldn't help himself so he smiled back, ' for some reason Ernie is looking really good today,' thought Ron as he turned his attention to McGonagall who was lecturing the class. When class was over Ernie asked if he could have a word with Ron before they went to the Great Hall to have lunch. Ernie led Ron and himself to an empty classroom a little further away from the Hall and walked inside.
"Okay Ernie what's up?" asked Ron confused as to why this boy he never really talked to all that much suddenly wanted to have a private conversation with him.
"Well… Ron… we have known each other for going on seven years now, although we don't know each other extremely well, and well I have something to tell you" Ernie said this with a slight blush creeping on to his face as he moved closer to Ron. "What I am trying to say is I like you and I think you are really hot" and with that Ernie kissed Ron, full on the lips. At first Ron was shocked at what was happening but then he started to relax a little and he kissed him back. Ron got this weird feeling in his stomach, and every time Ernie would touch him it would grow. Ron had never felt this good in his life. Kissing Ernie made him feel like he was floating on air but soon he realized what exactly he was doing, he pulled away.
"Ron I am so sorry. I didn't mean anything…" Ernie started.
Ron's brain was working overtime trying to wrap his mind around what just happened. 'I liked it and I like him,' thought Ron 'I…I think I might be gay'. As Ron came back from his thoughts he saw that Ernie was about to walk out of the classroom but Ron grabbed his wrist and turned him around to kiss him. Ron didn't know whether what he was doing was right or not but it felt right to him so he didn't stop. They stayed in that classroom for almost all of lunch when they finally realized it would look weird if they didn't show, so they went into the Great Hall, but not before planning to meet again that night.
Ron sat down next to Harry at their table and was just in time for some dessert. "So where were you?" asked Harry digging into a piece of pumpkin pie.
"Uhh Ernie wanted to talk and then I had to go and get the books I forgot in the classroom" Ron lied not sure if he could, or should, tell Harry the truth. "So mate have you thought about when you are going to have the quidditch tryouts?" trying to change the subject, Ron wasn't sure how Harry was going to take it so he didn't want to say anything.
"I think I will have them in a few weeks, but Ron listen I'm not going to put you on the team just because you my best mate. If there is someone who tries out and is the best then I'm going to pick whomever is the best one. Okay?" said Harry making sure that if that did happen Ron would understand, hopefully.
"You do what's best for the team. Alright there won't be any hard feelings" Ron said even though he hadn't been listening to Harry at all.
Soon thereafter Ron and Harry said good bye to Hermione as they went back to Gryffindor Tower, halfway there Ron said he forgot something and had to go back to get it and he would meet Harry later.
…
Hermione sat down at the table in the Heads common room to start on her mass amounts of homework she had received that day. Being unseen from behind the mountain of books Draco didn't notice she was sitting there as he looked around and ushered his cousin inside and up to his room. Hearing voices Hermione looked up from her work to see Brooke and Draco walking into his bedroom. At first she thought nothing of it but then when she heard laughing coming from upstairs she began to have this feeling. It was then Hermione realized that Draco was laughing, actually laughing.
Originally she thought she might be hearing things but then after listening for a few minutes she knew it was him laughing, with Brooke. 'God what makes that girl so special that she can make him laugh,' thought Hermione, 'oh my god I sound like I am jealous'
Fuming at not only herself for being jealous but also because she wasn't the one making Draco laugh like that. 'Oh my god I really do like Draco… That's frightening,' thought Hermione. Not wanting to think about it anymore she set out to do her homework.
About an hour and a half later Hermione was finishing an essay for potions and she heard Draco's door open, and someone coming down the stairs.
"Bye Draco. I'll talk to you tomorrow" said Brooke as she descended the stairs. Before she left Brooke looked and saw out of the corner of her eye Hermione sitting at the table almost glaring at her. "Hey Hermione" Brooke said a bit hesitantly, afraid of the look in Hermione's eyes.
"Don't hey Hermione me! You little whore not even one day and you already are all over Malfoy. You disgusting little skank" said Hermione. She was mad that this girl she thought was her friend turned out to be so nasty.
"Hermione you don't know what you are talking about. Trust me I was not all over Draco. I wasn't even a little on him, we were just talking" Brooke managed to say after the shock of what Hermione said wore off.
"Yea right like I believe you. You two were probably upstairs doing god knows what and I thought you were different from all the girls who fall all over Malfoy. You make me sick!" said Hermione who was now standing giving Brooke the death glare.
"Even if I try to explain myself to you, you probably won't listen to me anyways. Besides, I don't owe you an explanation. So good bye Hermione and try to do something about that crush on Draco its getting obvious" Brooke said as she went back to her common room leaving a stunned Hermione in her wake.
Hermione couldn't believe it. 'Not only had that bitch lied about being with Draco but she even claims I have a crush on him. Ugg I hate this I am going to take a shower and go to bed' thought Hermione as she packed her things and went to her room.
Three weeks later
Harry sat in the stands watching the team play quidditch. It was the day of tryouts and he had to pick people for his team. So far Ginny was the best chaser and he picked a few other players. The thing that was bothering him was that Ron wasn't doing as well as he had hoped. Also there was someone new trying out, his name was Sirius Lee Wood, and he was really good. Harry hated to have to make such a difficult decision but it had to be done.
When the tryouts were over Harry told them the results would be posted in the common room by the end of the night. Also Harry asked to speak to Sirius Lee before they went to the locker rooms.
"Hi Harry" said Sirius Lee extending his hand.
"Hi. I was wondering if you have a brother?" Harry who thought that if he did then his brother might be Oliver Wood the guy who taught Harry quidditch.
"Yea I do, you know him, Oliver. He thinks you are great and loved playing with you" said Sirius smiling.
"Well I can see playing great quidditch runs in the family. Tell your brother I say hi. You can go get cleaned up now. Don't forget to check the board tonight okay?" said Harry as he patted him on the back and started to walk back to school.
As Sirius Lee walked towards the locked room he doubted he was going to make the team. 'With his friend as my opponent, I bet he will choose him over me. Although I did better throughout the entire game,'
Later that night after Harry finished making the new team list he posted it on the board. The list was comprised of who Harry thought was the absolute best to make up a great team that he was sure would succeed throughout the year.
