Loving the Enemy
Chapter 10
Hermonie didn't talk to Malfoy again for two weeks and those two weeks were the most miserable two weeks of her entire life. For the first week Every time she saw him at the dinning hall he'd be looking down or talking to some of his friends, she desperately hoped he would meet her gaze, and she wished he would pull her into an empty classroom and talk to her. She felt awful about what had happened and what she had said to Malfoy. He was just trying to help and she had to be stupid and be mean to him and push him away. She also had reflected a lot on what he had said to her and she knew it was right, she knew that he knew her better than most people and she was quite frightened by that because she didn't know how he had figured her out, she was hoping he hadn't figured out anything else. And she wondered how he'd seen her arms she very careful to cover up those scars.
By the second week Hermonie had begun to lose hope. Maybe he would never talk to her again; maybe she had upset him that much she really hoped that wasn't the case. She had to do something she thought.
During the two week period Hermonie and Draco didn't talk, Hermonie didn't talk to anyone kept to herself didn't pay attention in class, didn't do her homework and by this time her friends were very worried. Ginny kept trying to talk to her but Hermonie just kept pushing her away and even started avoiding her. Ginny was concerned but also very hurt by this, she loved Hermonie dearly but she didn't know how long she could take this. Ron and Harry just gave up completely; they just weren't sure what to do and didn't want to upset her more than they already had.
Finally Hermonie decided that she would be the one to pull Draco into an empty classroom. She just had to build up the courage to do it. And find Draco and an empty classroom. So Hermonie began to wander the halls looking for Draco. She wasn't really sure where she could find him it was dark by now and people were heading up to there dormitories and Hermonie was afraid that she might have missed him, but she kept wandering anyways. Finally she heard his voice her was talking to one of his friends. She turned the corner and she caught his eye.
"Well I should be going so ill se you later." He said with eyes on her the entire time. By now Hermonie's heart was racing and she was now officially freaking it out. She had lost what she was going to say. Draco walked up to her "so was this an accident or did you come looking for me?" Hermonie's eyes widened. "Looking" She whispered quietly. "Lets go somewhere a little more private" Draco said and then pulled her down a hallway into another empty classroom.
"So why did you come looking for me?" Draco demanded. Wow he really wasn't going to make this any easier for her was he? Hermonie thought about it for a few seconds and tried to figure out what she was going to say. She wasn't going to utter a single word until she was ready and Draco understood that, so he waited patiently for Hermonie to get her thoughts together and in order.
Finally she started to speak and then stopped. "Well… Umm…. I…" She hesitated thought for a minute that took a deep breath and started again.
"Well I just wanted to say I'm sorry because I know how hard your trying and I know your not trying to play a mean joke on me and that at your just trying to help me but I'm more trouble than I am worth." Hermonie said and than took another deep breathe and looked down at the ground and started up again " I didn't mean to push you away I just cant help it sometimes and I' sorry. I'm trying to but you know it's just hard." She stopped and sat down.
Draco sighed and then said, " I know your trying Hermonie, and I know it's hard but you'll get through it, you want to know how I know that?" He asked
Hermonie nodded yes.
"Because you're strong Hermonie and us being here right now proves that and how strong you are." Draco said confidently.
"Thanks Draco but that's not entirely true, I am quite weak actually, and like you said before I am quite pathetic and sad and that's all very true and I know it." Hermonie stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Hermonie that's not true I was just really angry when I said that I really didn't mean it. And I am sorry about the things I said before they were all wrong. I was just so angry at you that's all I really didn't mean it." Draco said sincerely.
"Look Draco its kind of getting late maybe we should head back to our dorms." Hermonie said quietly.
"Sure lets go." He stood up and opened the door for her and then they walked out together and Draco walked her to her dorm and they both said goodnight and agreed to meet again tomorrow night.
