So, sup. I'm aware you can't aparate within Hogwarts.. twisited the rules a lil bit (; Draco's a rebel anyways :L
Draco's POV
I lowered her onto the Gryffindor couch in front of the fire, she was turned away from me, but still shivering.
"Mione⦠I'm going to get you some dry clothes.. are mine Ok?
"Whatever"
I sighed and Apparated myself to my room, quickly picking out some dry clothes for her.
Hermione's POV:
I felt Draco's dry clothes land on me and I looked up at him. His green eyes were gleaming like they always did. I went to the girls dorm and changed quickly then quietly made my way back to the common room. I sat down in front of the fire. "Thank You" I said shyly.
"No problem at all, Mione." After a moment of slience he spoke again. "Can we talk?"
Draco's POV:
"No."
I placed my hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry Pansy did this to you. She had no right too, and I didn't know."
"That's not what I'm mad about Draco.." She whimpered, sliding herself to the floor to get closer to the fire, hugging her knees to her chest. Her straggy hair drapped limply over her shoulder. "I mad at you because since that one day, you stopped talking to me, you stopped being my friend. You stopped being you."
"I'm so sorry Hermione. "
"It's like you forgot everything we did together, JUST because I told you that I loved you.
I ran my fingers down her thin arm to her soft hands, her skin was even softer because of the rain. "I tried changing. I tried being with you. Today, when I wanted to be with you...I did, really."
"Right when it was too late. Right until I reached my limit."
I pushed my fingers into the spaces in between hers. I just went right out and said it, slowly and softly. I wanted her to her what I had to say. "I flipped the coin. The one my parents gave me.. you remember? Right before the Yule Ball? I was choosing between talking to you and another girl, which ended being Pansy. And when you told me you love me.." I exhaled heavily. "Hermione, that changed everything. I was scared. And I didn't know how to hande it all. I felt her try to free her hand.
"And I thought that love was too big for us. Too soon. And I've been living high school in fear of you because I didn't know what would happen. I'd hate to break your heart because I care about you. Much more than you think I do."
She was on the verge of tears. I had no idea if they were happy tears. "I believe you."
Shivers went through my arms so I let go of her hand. "I threw that coin out in the lake right after that dance."
Hermione bent down near the fire, to find a old quarter. She blew it lightly so the dust would fall off. I smirked. She positioned it on my hand palm side up, then clapped it into my hand.
"Go." She smiled. The sight made my mind soar. She's so beautiful, and I can not even believe I was so stupid to only realize it now.
"Heads, were friends again, tails it's your choice." Hermione nodded once. I sighed contently and flipped it. As soon as I felt it in my hand I crashed it on my arm and I looked up at her for a reaction. She just stared at my hand as I uncovered it.
Heads.
I laughed. "I think this coin is much luckier than the other one."
"I can't believe you base your friendships off COINS, Draco, it's so stupid..." I heard her laugh for the first time in years. I watched her face glow and her smile grow. Her expressions were glowing and her eyes were just...breathtaking.
"I love you," I told her hesitantly.
"Hm..." She picked the quarter out of my hand. "Heads, I love you too, tails, get lost." She let it fly up in the air.
I swatted it away, while it was in mid-air, and kissed her.
THE END. :D
