Touching Hands Part Two.
Personal Thoughts.
They popped out of the darkness finding themselves in front of Number 12 Gimmauld Place. Hermione was still in her bikini and as she set her bag down she began to rifle through it for a t-shirt. Draco chuckled and reached for her jeans. "You might want to button these." Hermione tried to push his hands away but he already had them buttoned and zipped before she could. Pulling a white t-shirt over her head it was huge on her but she didn't mind. She picked her bag back up and held out a t-shirt for him. Pulling the black thing over his head he reached for his hand and laced her fingers with his own. Draco looked at his lady with a smile and tried not to think about what they were doing. They were being stupid, but he wasn't about to tell her that what kind of boyfriend would he be? Pulling him across the street Hermione jumped up the steps and let them into the house. Draco looked around in fascination as another house appeared on the street in front of him.
They were faced with wands pressed in their faces as they went into the house. Hermione was jerked from his hand and he vaguely heard her scream before blackness blanketed his vision and he was passed out cold.
Blinking he slowly opened his eyes and the room around him spun for a moment. His mouth tasted coppery and he pushed himself up from the lying down position as someone shoved something in his hand. " 'ere boy it will help with the taste…" the person muttered. There voice was scraggly and as he looked at the person he noticed it to be mad eye moody. Taking a drink of the concoction he was weary of passing out again. "Sorry 'bout that." without waiting of a response he clunked away with his cane clicking violently on the floor. Hermione was suddenly in his line of vision and he scrunched his eyes at her.
"Told ya this was a bad idea…" He muttered and from the look on her face he could tell she suddenly felt bad. He reached up and kissed her cheek. "It's okay. I understand why you did it." He told her with hopefully a convincing smile.
"Hermione!" The shout came from the door and the poor Weasel was standing there with a face as red as his hair. "Wh-what is going on?" He shrieked like a girl and Malfloy couldn't help but smirk.
"Well Ronald, like I told you just a minute ago that Draco and I are together. You were obviously too busy stuffing yourself with food to pay too much attention. Am I right?" Ron's face turned redder and he turned toward the door.
"Harry!" The shout echoed through the house and Harry came stumbling into the room with Ginny right behind him. "God, what have you two been doing? Snogging again?"
"Oh shut up Ron!" Ginny hit her brother in the back of the head before heading farther into the kitchen. "Hermione!" Hugging the older girl Draco watched silently as the girl looked her over. "Where have you been? You're like tan, and in short shorts…" Ginny commented turning back toward the other two confused. Harry looked at the ground and Ron shuffled his feet. "What's going on?"
"Why don't you ask Hermione, considering we haven't seen her in two months." The spitefulness coming out of Harry's mouth took Hermione aback and she just looked at him a moment.
"I'm sorry Harry I had things to work through. You of all people should understand that." Harry's green eyes burned into her and Draco couldn't help but notice the electricity that was clearly heating between them.
"It's not the same Hermione! I thought you were dead and here you looking like you just back from a sweet little beach vacation with the person who has hated you for…" Draco watched as Harry's eyes drifted down to the ring on Hermione's finger. Draco didn't have time to do anything but watch. Ginny put a hand over her mouth as Harry grabbed Hermione's wrist and pulled the thing up to look at. "What is this?" The hiss was bone crunching as it echoed through the kitchen. Ron was staring blankly hatred boiling in his eyes and Ginny looked genuinely scared for Hermione's life. Harry's green eyes' flashed with anger and Hermione's mouth was hanging open. "It's his ring isn't it? What have you done? What have you been doing Hermione traipsing all over the country with this Death Eater?" Everyone was silent no one was talking and there was no breathing as Hermione cringed away from the boy who she thought was her best friend. Her brown eyes danced over Draco's face and Draco held her gaze for a minute.
"You listen here Harry Potter! I don't care how great you are! I am not some little pet following you around all the time! You don't own me and what I do has nothing to do with you! If you're still going to be my friend I need you Harry." The last words hung on her lips and were barely audible. Harry looked at her and Draco waited. Forgiveness flashed across his face and then the anger was back and he dropped her hand the other hand raising and pushing her away from him. Hermione fell to the floor and Draco jumped off the kitchen table and fell to her aid. Harry left the room with Ron trailing silently behind him. Ginny stayed behind for a moment and then left them there alone. A tear fell down Hermione's cheek. "I have no one…"
"You have me." Hermione's lips lifted into a smile and then fell back into a frown. A pop filled the kitchen and Fred and George were standing in the doorway. They were both laughing.
"They are such…"
"Gits. Why would they leave…"
"Such a pretty girl?" Fred and George asked as they came closer and nudged Draco out of the way to help Hermione up. "Sorry man, can't let you always help the damsel in distress." Hermione chuckled as Draco let them pull her into their arms.
"Sorry about my brother and stupid Harry."
"It's alright George." She said with a smile as the two released her and Draco protectively grabbed her hand.
"Oh don't worry…"
"We got girl's of our own."
"Yeah they're waiting in there." Fred hooked his thumb toward the other room. "We did want to talk to you though Hermione. Harry said you just left and didn't come back. He thought you were dead." Hermione shrugged.
"Please tell us what happened." George pouted at her and Hermione chuckled as Fred motioned toward the table sitting down himself. Hermione sat next to him and Molly putted into the kitchen sneakily.
"Sorry dear, I swear I wasn't eaves dropping but I really do want to know what happened. I'll make some tea." Fred and George rolled their eyes but let her.
After telling the whole story the twins and their mother were just looking at her. The sweet woman had her hand on Hermione's silently comforting her as the twins reached out hands to rub their backs. "Stupid blokes. That's so annoying that they didn't even notice!"
"But hey! You're hot now so getting away from them was probably a good thing!" Hermione chuckled and shook her head at the twins. She noticed Harry standing in the doorway and she moved to say something but he just walked off shaking his head. Hermione rushed to go after him but when he turned from her she shouted out at him.
"Harry Potter! You pay attention to me!" Harry turned toward her with tired eyes.
"Why should I? You betrayed me! You're not one of us now. I don't even know why you came back here."
"Hey don't even go there man!" Fred called out being held back by George.
"Look all I'm saying is Hermione is that apparently you can just leave me in my time of need so I don't need you anyways."
"Harry! I've known you for years and you didn't even know something was wrong so you're the one with the problem." Harry glared at her.
"Stupid mudblood go home!" Harry cursed and Hermione took a step forward connecting her fist with his jaw. Harry looked taken aback and Ron came around the corner with Ginny in tow both looking shocked. Draco came up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"It had to be done."
"That felt good…" Draco nudged her as he remembered in third year when she had gotten his nose.
"You always did have an arm on you." Molly poked her head out the door of the kitchen took one look at Harry and then looked at everyone else with a bright smile.
"Dinner's ready dearies!"
