CHAPTER 6 I'm sorry
Draco stood there in Miss Madems staring in to space thinking about what just happened a few minutes ago. Draco's thoughts were disturbed when he heard a loud sniff coming from his left. Draco turned around and found him looking n to the eyes of the sales woman. What's she fucking crying for!
"What?" Draco asked harshly.
This made the woman cry more than before. "I'm sorry. I just don't understand why people can't be with the people they love!"
Draco looked at her like she had just been hexed by someone. Draco shook his head and left the shop to go and look for Hermione.
After about forty-five minutes Draco had looked everywhere. He even apparated to Hogsmeade but he couldn't find her anywhere.
Just when Draco had given up and had just started walking around from the corner of his eye he spotted Hermione sitting on a bench under a big oak tree. Draco wanted to reach Hermione as soon as possible that he even jogged a bit. Draco finally reached Hermione and sat on the bench trying to catch his breath. Hermione looked at Draco for a second and then turned around again.
"I'm sorry." Hermione whispered Draco had to really listen carefully to be able to her what she had said
"Hermione I don't understand what you're sorry about. So what if you kissed me I'm your husband. You're supposed to kiss me."
Hermione slowly turned her head and looked Draco in the eye "I know but I mean this is still all new to me. Well for me it was the first time I kissed you."
"What?" Hermione asked when she heard Draco chuckle.
"Well Hermione this first kiss was much better than are real first one."
Hermione looked puzzled and asked "Why? What happened?"
"Ah you see it was in the middle of are seventh year, we had just had dinner and while we were leaving the hall you bumped in to me and Blaise so me being Draco Malfoy I had to say something back about a few seconds of arguing professor Mcgoienal came and told us off and on top of that she gave us detention I remember you were really upset because it was the first detention you ever got in Hogwarts. Anyway we were in detention I was sitting on the desk and you were sitting in a chair than suddenly something hit the window I got up and looked out the window but I can't see anything so I turned around but when I did I didn't realise that you were standing right up in face and I tripped over you. We both fell on to the floor but I fell on top of you. When I lifted my head my lips can on top of yours. And that is how we shared our first kiss." Draco ended with a smile.
Hermione laughed "I can't believe I didn't slap you."
"Yer that's what you think I still had your handprint on my face when I woke up the next morning."
Hermione stayed silence for a minute not saying anything that's when Draco noticed a tear slide down her face.
"Hermione what's wrong?" Draco asked sliding next to Hermione even more and wiping the tear from her face.
"Nothing I'm just being silly." Hermione tried to smile but she didn't do a very good job of it.
"Hermione come on you can tell me anything."
"It's just that we have all these nice memory's together like our first kiss, our first date or even worst our wedding day but I can't fucking remember any of them." Hermione started really crying now.
Between the tears Draco heard Hermione say "I can't even remember how I fell in love with you."
Draco felt like somebody had ripped his heart out and teard it up in to tiny pieces when Hermione's last words left her mouth.
"Hermione I don't care if you can't remember anything because I know that one way or another I'm going to make you fall in love with me again even if it kills me. And I know that I'm going to succeed it."
Hermione's tears increased even more. "AHH Draco can you stop it please!"
"Stop what Hermione?" Draco got a bit annoyed that Hermione raised her voice all of a sudden.
"Stop saying that everything is going to be ok because it's not I'm not going to be able ever be the same as before."
Draco felt anger fill his body instantly "For fuck sake Hermione do you think this is only hard for you. Well it's not I'm suffering just as much as you are. I don't think you know how it feels like to lose someone you love!"
Draco was standing in front of Hermione now looking down at her with anger.
Hermione rose from her seat and looked Draco in the eyes "As a matter of fact I do if you don't remember I lost Ron too. He was someone I loved."
It wouldn't hurt this much if somebody killed me right now. Draco looked at Hermione and shook his head "Wow Hermione, thanks a lot." And with one final glace at Hermione Draco apparated.
Hermione stood in front of the bench and kept seeing the look of disappointment on Draco's face. I can't believe I said that. I have to find Draco. I have to make things right again. And with that final thought Hermione apparated to Malfoy Manor.
Hermione ran to the front door and it opened immediately by a house elf.
"Have you seen Draco?"
The elf nodded his head and said "Yes Madem Master is in his study."
"Eh thank you but do you think you can show me where it is."
Without hesitating the elf nodded and motioned his arms to the left so that Hermione could follow.
After a few seconds Hermione found herself staring at the big brown door that lead in to Draco's study.
Hermione softly knocked on the door and waited for Draco to answer. Hermione waited for a few minutes but when she didn't hear anything she opened the door a crack and looked in. She saw Draco sitting in his enormous brown leather chair holding a bottle of fire whiskey looking out of the window. Hermione slowly walked and stood next to Draco. Draco lifted his head and looked at Hermione for a second and then turned his head back to the window.
"Draco." Hermione said softly making Draco's insides flip. Hermione waited for Draco to answer but he still carried on looking out of the window.
Hermione tried again "Draco, I'm really sorry for what I said I didn't mean it like that."
"Look Hermione I really don't fell like talking right now."
"But Draco I'm so-"
"Hermione get out."
"What?"
"Get out."
Hermione looked at the back of Draco's head while he looked out of the window. Hermione slowly walked towards the door and took a final glance at Draco before she left the room and closed the door behind her. Leaving Draco along.
Hermione walked along the black marble floor and up the stairs. And entered her bedroom. Hermione went to her walk in closet and changed in to her pajamas. Hermione curled up on her bed and cried softly.
Draco still sat there bottle in hand but this time the bottle of fire whiskey was finished. Draco heard a knock on the door and someone saying "Master can I enter?"
"Come." The elf walked in and closed the door behind him "Master Draco, Master Lucius and Madam Narcissa are downstairs waiting to see you and Madam Hermione."
Fuck this is all I need now.
"Fine tell them we're coming."
A hour later Hermione woke up from a sleep she didn't realise she had fallen in to. Hermione heard a knock on the door and slowly sat up.
Draco entered the room and coldly said "Get ready my parents are downstairs waiting to see us."
"Err ok. But Draco I think we should talk about what happened in the park today."
"Look Hermione there's nothing to talk about ok just let it go."
" Draco I-"
"Enough Hermione can you just please get ready."
Draco fixed his clothes and headed downstairs. Draco found Lucius and Narcissa in the sitting room. Narcissa jumped up quickly when she saw her son enter the room. She hugged him and asked about Hermione. Draco said that she was upstairs taking a shower. Lucius got up and shook hands with his son. Draco sat down and made small talk with his parents while waiting for Hermione to come downstairs.
Hermione got out of bed sleepily and went to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and entered her walk in closet. She chose black jeans with a black tank top and a light pink cardigan on top. She pulled on her black boots and headed downstairs feeling nervous.
Hermione walked in to the sitting room and greeted everybody. Narcissa hugged Hermione the same way she hugged her son, Lucius however just nodded form where he sat. Hermione walked and sat on the two person couch next to Draco. Draco looked at his mother and then grabbed Hermione's hand. Hermione looked shocked for a moment but then remembered what Draco had told her. "My parents don't know what's going on".
Hermione smiled at Draco and squeezed his hand.
"Hermione I would love to see the dress you bought today for my birthday dinner." Narcissa said smiling.
"Ah the dress I would love to show you but, well the thing is Draco and I were in the shop and there was this sales woman sh-."
"And she said that the shop was closed for the day so we went outside we realised that it was lunch time and we got hungry so we decided to have lunch after we had lunch Hermione got this terrible pain in her stomach so we decided to come home. When we got home Hermione felt very sick so she went to bed." How did I lie that fast
"Oh well I'm very sorry to hear that dear I hope you are much better now. How are you feeling?"
"Thank you I'm feeling much better I think I just ate too much." Hermione ended with a smile.
"And what about the dress." Lucius asked coldly.
"Well I've got plenty of dresses upstairs I don't feel the need to buy another dress . I 'll just wear one of them."
"Don't talk nonsense everyone has seen the dresses in your closet. You need to buy something that nobody has seen before."
"Hermione I have got plenty of dresses in my closet that I haven't worn before. I would love to give you one of them."
"Eh thank you very much I would love that."
"OK than you can come over with Draco around five o'clock so you have time to get ready. Draco dear have you sorted out your black suit for tomorrow night?"
"Yes mother I got the suit that you sent to my office. I'm all set."
"Would anybody like any tea?" Hermione asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes thank you I would love a cup of tea."
"Lucius?"
"fine."
"Hermione dear I would love to hear about Italy some more do you think you can tell me?" Narcissa smiled.
"Italy?" Ah but I haven't been to Italy fuck. "How about we go to the kitchen and make some tea?" Hermione asked softly with a smile on her face.
Narcissa agreed and followed Hermione in to the kitchen.
Lucius studied Draco for a moment. "Draco I see you have a problem. What is it?"
"Father I'm fine nothing's wrong."
"Draco I can see it in your face you were never good at lying."
"Father I-"
"And the fact that you are drunk answers my question."
"Do you think mother noticed me being drunk?"
"No she's too busy lately thinking about that ridicules trip to Italy. And your little wife made her excited about going the muggle way. By a plank or plant or something ridicules like that."
"The bloody muggle way!"
"Yes. Anyway tell me why you are drunk and moody."
"Really father nothing is wrong. We just had a little misunderstanding with Hermione that's all."
Before Lucius could answer Narcissa and Hermione were back in the room pasting around tea. Hermione passed Draco his tea Draco took the tea without even looking at Hermione.
Forty minutes later Lucius and Narcissa got up to leave. Hermione and Draco followed as they walked to the door.
"Hermione dear I look forward to seeing you tomorrow." Narcissa smiled.
"Yes me too."
After Lucius closed the door to the manor Hermione turned around and said "Draco." But she realised that she was just talking to herself because Draco was nowhere to be seen.
