Chapter Six
Delilah
Delilah still hadn't said a thing to her parents. It had been three weeks since she got sorted in to Gryffindor, and she had ignored every owl her parents send her. How could she ever tell them that their only daughter got sorted into Gryffindor house, how will they react to that! They probably send her home right away, and she didn't want to go since she was having so much fun!
She loved the lessons, the professors and above everything else, she loved hanging with Ron, Harry and Hermione.
Hermione still wasn't very nice but was at least opening up to Delilah, but Delilah thought Hermione had to process the whole Ron thing first, so she let Hermione be.
Ron, on the contrary, didn't notice a thing about Hermione, and only had eyes for Delilah. He even asked her on a date, well, on a sort of date.
Ron asked her if she would like to join Harry, Hermione, Ginny and him to the Three Broomsticks next Saturday.
Delilah wasn't surprised really, but she didn't expect them to be going with other people.
She thought that Ron was shy, perhaps, and didn't want to do something alone with her (or maybe he just didn't know how to be alone with a girl) at least the first time they got to be outside the school grounds.
Before she knew it, it was Saturday. Delilah got up from her bed. The others were still sleeping, and Delilah silently got into her clothes and got a few things she would need in Hogsmeade.
After that she decided to go to the Great Hall and have some breakfast, it would probably be a long day.
Hermione
Hermione heard that Delilah got up and walk around. She heard the girl opening her trunk and getting dressed. After that she heard the door open and close, and the silence returned to the 5th year's girls dormitory.
Hermione got up too, but didn't get out of bed. She sat there for a while and quietly thought about the past three weeks.
The biggest thing was that seeing Delilah and Ron together didn't bug her as much anymore. She sort of got used to it, and besides, she found she only had room for one boy in her mind. And it wasn't Ronald Weasley.
After that first day at school Hermione couldn't stop thinking about what Draco was about to say, before Harry, Ron, Delilah and Ginny stumbled in on them.
Not to mention the feast on the day they arrived at Hogwarts, the glare, the staring, and even the strange feeling she got. It was like he hexed her. Put a spell on her or something.
But why, would Malfoy put a spell on her to make her think of him.
He hates Mudbloods, and he hates her the most.
Hermione had searched in the library for spells or potions that can do that sort of things, but every spell has one condition. The one putting the spell on someone needs to touch the 'someone.' And Hermione was absolutely sure that Draco hadn't touched her.
So, it had to be something else. Hermione sighed and got up.
She got some jeans and a nice thick sweater out of her trunk. It was already very cold outside, and she didn't want to be chilled till the bone at the end of the day.
Hermione put on the clothes and got her toothbrush, walked to sink and started brushing her teeth. She liked the smell of toothpaste. It always reminded her of when she was younger and her mother would brush her teeth, just before it was time to go to bed. After that her mother would tuck her in, read her a bedtime story, always about tall blond princes saving the damsel in distress. Hermione loved happy endings. She still does, but happy endings seem just a bit unreal lately.
She sighed and put away her toothbrush, got a bag with her wallet and went downstairs. She couldn't put meeting up with Delilah off, forever.
Delilah
Delilah saw Draco walking into the Great Hall. He looked happy and concerned at the same time. Delilah was wondering what he had been up to last weeks. She hadn't seen him that much, she only saw him during the classes they had together and at dinner. Most of the times he ate very quickly, and after that he would leave.
She did see him somewhere else, two weeks ago. He was at the library and he was reading a book about love, how to make love potions, or use love spells. When he discovered that Delilah was watching him, he didn't yell at her, as he would have done at Malfoy Manor, but he put the book in his bag and walked out of the library.
Delilah sighed and took some cereal. How strange it was to have a brother, and not being able to tell anyone about it.
Though she realized she almost gave away her secret to Ginny. Ginny hadn't said a thing about what happened in the hospital wing, but Delilah got a feeling that Ginny would speak to her about it in the near future.
Delilah looked up and watched her brother again, he was looking at something else, or someone else. Delilah followed his gaze and found Hermione walking into the Great Hall. Hermione was looking at Draco as well. There was something between them, but Delilah couldn't put her finger on it.
Finally Hermione started walking again and came towards Delilah. She sat down across from Delilah and started taking foods from the plates on the tables.
'Morning, Delilah.' Hermione said, while trying to suppress a yawn.
'Good morning Hermione!' Delilah said cheerfully. 'Did you sleep well?'
Hermione nodded and added: 'Yes, quite well.' She looked around and Delilah noticed that Hermione looked a bit longer than necessary in Draco's direction.
'No one else is up?' Hermione asked. 'No.' Delilah said while eating the last of her cereal. 'But I think they'll get up soon! I think everybody wants to go somewhere, after three weeks of school!' Delilah smiled at Hermione and the brown eyes girl smiled back a little.
'Guess so.' She said. Hermione looked around again. After watching Draco again she looked at the entry of the Great Hall again. Harry, Ron and Ginny just entered the Great Hall. Hermione sighed. Delilah waved at them.
As Ron, Harry and Ginny took their place at the Gryffindor table Hermione got up.
Everybody looked at her confused. 'Sorry, I remembered I forgot to take something with me!' Hermione said. 'I'll be right back, I'll meet you guys outside!' Hermione continued as she walked away.
Delilah looked at the others. They all looked at her with a curious expression. 'Don't look at me! I don't know what got into her!' Delilah said, trying to defend herself.
She looked at the brown curls that just disappeared around the corner of the Great Hall. It couldn't be something she said, because they nearly said a word. As Delilah turned her head again, something, or someone caught her eye. Draco was also looking in the direction where Hermione just disappeared.
Draco
Draco watched the girl who had occupied his thoughts for the last three weeks walk out of the Great Hall. He had to stop himself from getting up and going after het, though he longed to follow her.
He had the urge to follow her everywhere she went since the day they arrived at Hogwarts.
He turned his head again, not noticing Delilah was watching him.
Draco sat at the Slytherin table next to Pansy, to whom he'd be stuck with all day.
Pansy asked him if they would go to Hogsmeade together, and Draco said yes, accidentally.
Draco ate his toast in silence while Pansy was talking cheerfully to him. He didn't understand a word of what she was saying. Sometimes he heard some words like 'clothes', 'classes' and 'magazines.'
But Pansy suddenly said something that did get his attention. 'Hermione Granger.'
Draco's head snapped up. 'What did you say, Pansy?' Draco asked. Pansy was startled by the sudden attention of her companion and was silent for a few seconds, before she remembered her talking subject.
'Hermione Granger, she's wearing such ugly clothes! And her hair. It's awful. Looks like she gets out of bed, puts on any old clothes and walks straight out the door.' Pansy said.
Draco swallowed, he felt a sudden rush of blood to his cheeks.
'I don't think that. I like her hair, actually.' Draco said it before he realized what he said and Pansy looked at him in disbelief.
'You didn't just say that!' she almost screamed at him. Draco mumbled some words, and got up.
'I think it's better if we get going now. I have to go to a lot of shops today, and I don't want to be away to long.' Draco said.
Pansy got up and walked to the doors of the Great Hall.
Girls! Draco thought as he followed her.
