The Trouble With Weddings

A Harry Potter Fan Faction Story

Chapter 21:

I had had eventually transfigured my sundress into black running shorts and a black halter running top. I needed to clear my head and figure what was really going on and what I was really feeling. I had to look at the facts. Ron had told me that he had made a mistake, that he missed me and practically wanted me back. That was the original plan that I had made with Draco to make him jealous, feel the pain he caused me and come crawling back. Mission accomplished, but why don't I feel like it is? I should be able to just move on and satisfied that I could make Ron feel this bad. There was another problem that I refused to acknowledge. I wanted to ignore it and not believe it was really there. I closed my eyes as I kept running. I kept seeing his face and feeling the way his mouth tastes, and how my whole body seems to go numb with him around. I suddenly stopped running when I came just outside the cottage. I was trying to steady my breathing. I have feelings for Draco. I gasped and tried to fight it but it was there. Some where when we were pretending to make Ron jealous and be in love I wasn't pretending any more. I just stood there for what seemed like hours until I saw some one behind me. I quickly turned around.

" I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" Ron stood there staring at me. He had a hurt expression on his face, and I knew he wanted to finish our previous discussion. He wanted me to fall into his arms and tell him that he was always the one and I have been waiting and always will wait for him, because we belong together, but I couldn't say that at all.

" Ron.." I started to slowly back up.

" Did you run the whole way here?" I nodded and he kept inching toward me. " Hermione I meant what I said."

" What about Lavender?" I tried to look around for her but she was no where in sight. That figure the first time she isn't glues to his hip, she isn't around. I couldn't see Draco either, not that he would save me, he might consider this a triumph for me and figure I would want to handle this on my own.

" She isn't you Hermione, she never was…" He sighed. " I never realized what I had until I lost you" I closed my eyes and could feel my insides feel like they were tearing apart. I felt like screaming, or running again. I was so confused.

" Stop" I whispered. Then I repeated again louder as he kept talking and saying how wonderful I was. " STOP IT!" He stopped talking and stared at me. " I can't handle this right now!" Which was true I had to figure out if this thing with Draco was real or just a really good act that even I was starting to fall for. " Just leave me alone" I started to walk down the path to the beach. I was starting to get dark, and I needed to get away from him. I stood my the shore just staring out into the water, as it started to rain. The wind started to blow and I closed my eyes just soaking in the misty water and smell of the ocean, as the water hit my face.

I suddenly felt something change. I looked down and some one had transfigured a shear white dress on me. I looked up and saw Draco staring at me on the edge of the property by the cottage. As soon as I looked over at him he was gone. I couldn't help but feel disappointed as I continued to stare at the spot that he stood so briefly.

" Looking for me" I heard his husky voice behind me ,and I turned around to see him standing there in the same clothes that he wore earlier.

" What are you doing here?" I yelled through the pouring rain, and the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore. He walked closer to me. I could feel how warm his body was.

" I was looking for you" I felt my heart speed up again.

" What for?"

" You looked hurt when we left the dance studio, and then I saw you talking to Weasley, then you were off again. What did he say to you?" I could hardly hear him.

" What?"

" I said did Weasley hurt you?"

" He admitted every that I had wanted him to" I sighed and closed my eyes. " I made him feel what I had felt when he left me for Lavender, but I kept thinking about something else more important." He came closer to me where he was just inches from my face. He reached his hand to brush my wet, cold cheek.

We stood there staring at each other, soaking wt in the pouring rain. I couldn't take it any longer I wanted him so bad, and my emotions were running wild. He ran his hand under my chin, and I sighed under his touch.

" What was missing Hermione? Tell me.." I looked up into his eyes and let a tear fall down my cheek slowly. It was unnoticed through the pouring rain.

" You" I whispered, but I wasn't sure that he heard me, then all of a sudden his lips crashed down on mine, and I wrapped my arms around him. For several moments our mouths fought for dominance and I could feel the fire burning from with in me. I moaned with in his kiss. I could feel him smirk and lift me up off the ground and started to carry me away still snogging me senseless.

He carried me all the way to the light house in the distance. We made out way all the way up to the top of the light house. When we got to the top he set me down, and I tried to catch my breath.

" Hermione…"

" Draco…" I sighed and looked him up and down.

" What is this?" Draco whispered

" I don't know, I just know I want you" I felt all of my barriers float away, and within that instant he closed the gap between us again. His lips were back on mine ,and we started to slowly undress each other. I felt safe, and for the first time in a very long time I was doing exactly what I felt. I felt so much passion and I was feeling it for Draco Malfoy. Draco laid me down gently on the floor, and we made sweet love.
