CHAPTER FIVE: Bad News

Draco and Blaise finally sat in the restaurant tired and confused.

'Why was I calling her Hermione?' Draco thought.

'Why does Jade pick Potter over me?' thought Blaise.

"I guess we should get going?" Draco finally asked. Blaise nodded. They picked up their things and were about to leave when Draco spotted something on the table that wasn't his: a small, black purse.

"Is that yours?" asked Blaise.

"No you asshole! I'm not gay!" Draco said obviously offended by Blaise.

"Oh…you aren't?" and Draco smacked him on the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for!"

"For being an idiot, as usual!" Draco opened the purse and the wallet inside it had a picture of a girl. Hermione Granger. "It's Granger's," he said coolly, making sure he was back on the last-name basis. He picked it up and hid it in his coat. "Let's go."

Hermione was deep in thought as they drove home. 'Why was Draco calling her Hermione? I mean, it is my name but its pretty startling hearing it from Draco. Wait, since when have I been calling him Draco? And since when did I start thinking of him?'

"Hermione? Are you okay?" Harry's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh yeah, sorry. I was just shocked that the Draco Malfoy ate in a Muggle restaurant in a Muggle city!" she lied.

Harry chuckled. "Yeah, that's pretty interesting." They limo stopped and they walked out.

Jade yawned and said, "Okay well I don't know about you guys but I'm tired. Night!" and she walked off to her room.

"Yeah, night Jade!" Harry called. "I'm going to go too, Hermione," said Harry. "See you tomorrow!" he said and walked off to the opposite direction.

Hermione sighed. It had been a long night. First Jade winning the Gold and then seeing Draco Malfoy in a Muggle restaurant. She was about to have herself a nice cold shower when she found a letter on her bed. It was from her parents.

Dearest Hermione,

I hope you're having fun with Jade and Harry. We're still on our honeymoon and we enjoyed it but we also took this time alone to think about some things. Just remember that whatever happens we always love you and that you shouldn't blame yourself for any of this. It's just the fact that you are a witch that bothers your father. He doesn't really approve of you studying witchcraft. But I, on the other hand, think you should continue going to Hogwarts. I think whatever makes you happy is best for you. But your father and my opinions are opposite and have been getting in the way of our relationship. We have decided it was time to take a break from each other since we couldn't live happily if we're always arguing. What I'm trying to say is that we're filing for a divorce. I'm very sorry, Hermione, dear. Just remember that we both love you very much and we are very proud of you. Please don't let this get in the way of your summer and have a good time in Greece.

Love,

Mom and Dad

Hermione was already in tears. She could tell her mom had written the letter and just signed for her dad. 'This is my entire fault!' she thought and ran out her room and into the dark streets, not knowing where she intended to go.

"Hey, Blaise , I'm going to go return this to Granger," said Draco replied as they got to the Plaza's lobby. Blaise just grunted in response, already about to fall asleep.

Draco walked down the hallway and to the elevator. He reached Hermione's room. He knocked several times with no response. He sighed. 'I'll just return it tomorrow,' he thought. He walked back to the elevator and was about to go back to his room but decided he'd rather take a short walk. Quickly he exited the hotel.

He wandered aimlessly into the streets. It was raining but he didn't care. He just wanted to take a peaceful walk away from his worries. Heading for nowhere in particular he turned the corner and bumped into someone.

"Oh I'm sorry," said a female voice. He recognized it immediately. He looked up and saw Hermione's tear-stained face.

"Granger?" he asked. He forgot he still had her purse in his cloak.

"Look, Malfoy I don't have time for this. My parents…they…they…" she broke off in tears. She slumped down to her knees sobbing in front of Draco. Not knowing what to do, he just sort of patted her on the back hoping she would stop crying.

She didn't. She just continued to sob in front of him until he thought she couldn't cry anymore. He bent down and pulled her closer to him involuntarily and could feel her shaking. Opening his cloak, he put it over her shivering body while hugging her tightly.

Finally she stopped and looked up. He looked down. There faces were inches apart and Draco suddenly wanted to close the gap. Before he had a chance, she stood up and ran away. Draco sighed. Part of him was glad she had run off but he also wanted to feel her in his arms again.

"I forgot to give her the purse!" Draco mumbled to himself getting up.

Hermione didn't know what had happened and wasn't sure she wanted to know what happened. She had bumped into Draco, again. She couldn't help from crying even if it was in front of him. She didn't really care at this point either. But what really scared her was that he had comforted her. You would expect a Malfoy to leave them there in sorrow and maybe they would even laugh at you for being so weak, but Draco had held her. For some reason being with him had relieved her. She didn't feel alone anymore.

Sighing she decided she should take a warm, relieving bath. She made her way over to the tub and stayed there for only fifteen minutes. She didn't hear the front door creak open. Wrapping a towel around her body she didn't bother to brush her hair just yet and went out of the bathroom to get her pajamas.

Right out of the door stood a very wet Draco Malfoy.

oooo cliffy -laughs evilly- review!
