Loving the Enemy
Chapter 9
Draco pulled her in the empty classroom and immediately sat down. They sat there in silence for a couple of minutes; Hermonie was really interested Draco had definitely caught her attention. She really wanted to know what had this little slytherin boy so worked up and conflicted.
"Hermonie…" Draco started but then stopped again. He looked up at her and she saw on his face a look of pure anguish, she wondered what had Draco so torn up; she was actually a little concerned. "You know Malfoy you don't have to tell me anything I mean I wont force you. You obviously are having some second thoughts about sharing, and I'm totally cool with that, I understand if you change your mind." Hermonie said gently.
Draco laughed dryly to himself. " You know I've been going over this all day in my head, you know preparing myself and figuring out what I was going to say to you and now that you're here and in front of me, its just so hard to find those words and now I've lost all my courage that I had earlier. Isn't that funny?" He said and then laughed again.
Hermonie sighed and said. " Trust me Malfoy I know where your coming from I know exactly where your coming from. I do that everyday I rehearse over and over again in my head until its perfect and I couldn't possibly screw it up and I think to myself everyday this is the day I'm going to tell someone. Today's a new day and I can do it I can tell someone. And everyday I change my mind at the last minute, convince myself no one cares, no one will listen, but I never try and test those theories. I find it more sad than funny actually." Hermonie said quietly.
Draco smiled at her; it was more of a sad smile though rather than one where you can tell it produced out of happiness, more of a fake smile. " You know Hermonie I think we have more in common than you realize. I do that a lot too. And yes it is pretty sad pretty pathetic actually."
Hermonie laughed. " Me and you? Have anything in common? Please Malfoy don't try and kid yourself. You're a narcissistic prick who's posing as a nice guy, which by the way is the most pathetic thing of all time. Maybe you should think more about that than trying to trick me into telling you something that is none of your business." Hermonie spat out coldly. "Honestly I was falling for it I really was Malfoy, but then I did a reality check and realized what the hell I was doing."
Draco glared at her for a second and then opened his mouth but closed it again and then he spoke. "Really Hermonie, I'm not just sure what to do to convince you that I want to help I mean I'm sorry I give a crap and yeah I know how selfish of me to try and change and actually give a damn about someone. No you're right Hermonie I'm so sorry I tried to help. My god Hermonie grow up. You know what's really pathetic is that your so scared of giving people a chance and as soon as you open up to someone you just shove them and there chance away, that's what's really sad. How you just box up and every feeling and just deal with it yourself and probably not in a good way, I saw the marks on your arms Hermonie were those accidents to Hermonie? Huh, were they?" Draco stormed out of the room leaving a very stunned and unhappy Hermonie.
