New chapter It's not the best. I might re-write it. But anyways review, tell me what you think!(:
P.s. This chapter takes place a long while after the whole spaz Hermione had with Harry. I just didn't write what was going on in between because it would be very redundant. so enjoy!
Hermione had been doing a lot of crying these days but never in front of Draco. The one person who she never wanted to show weakness to. He though knew that she wanted to cry.
It had hit her so hard.
They were bickering one second and snogging the next.
He would start to say one of his arrogant cocky phrases and she would try to out do him with her intelligence.
She would tell him to stop being such a child and he would tell her to stop being so old.
He would grab her in a hug and she would kiss his mouth.
She would pour her heart out.
He would just listen to her talk. The sound of her voice made him smile.
He would call her a pain in the ass and she would call him an arrogant son of a bitch.
But they still cared and loved each other deeply.
"Well, your favorite food is fruit cake, I have no idea why." He laughed and continued "You love tennis, whatever that is. You are a very connected with your muggle side."
"Yes, and you ar every connected with your magic side." She giggled "You were born June fifth 1980, you love quidditch. You are also a little on the conceided side." She teased him.
"Really? Well at least my nose isn't books all day." He laughed and poked her on her side. She laughed and wiggled because she was very ticklish. He poked her multiple times and she just laughed and laughed.
"Okay, okay, what is your favorite color?" Hermione asked snuggled under Draco's arm.
"Green. What is yours?" He smiled and looked at her with those eyes that said so much.
"Blue, like the sky. It's beautiful and home to the birds. So why green?"
"The slytherin and family color of course." Hermione wrinkled her nose. She was thinking hard about something. He noticed that she did that when she was concentrating and thinking. "What? Your thinking of something."
"Nothing." She smiled.
"Liar I know when you are thinking of other things."
"Okay smart guy, how?" She sat up and crossed her arms.
"You wrinkled your nose." Hermione looked confused and Draco smiled smugly "You do that when you concentrate or when you are thinking about other things. I guess you do that because you want to focus on your thoughts but listen at the same time."
"Okay smart guy you are actually smart who would've thought?" She giggled her innocent giggle and thought of how he knew her so well already.
Strange.
It wasn't like her to get so mental about a boy so fast. Of course Draco was in love with a girl almost every week, but every time it started to get serious he left. He was a definite man whore.
Hermione had gone to her afternoon classes and Draco did the same after their moment by the lake.
When the break for afternoon tea had come they both met discreetly in the back of the library avoiding as many students and teachers as they could.
"What do you mean make up with Harry and Ron?!" Hermione whispered while she was walking around shelves after shelves of books.
"I mean it would make it a lot easier to you know that you were safe and with people." He pleaded.
"When are you going to get through your head? There is nothing to worry about!" She stopped and turned quickly and unexpectedly. Draco ran into her.
Draco was getting serious with this girl and this time he wasn't scared. He was scared but for a whole other reason. This was the first girl he actually cared about. He always rushed into relationships but they were more like flings. This was different. Hermione made him different.
"I just want to make sure that you are safe."
"When has Draco Malfoy ever cared about a girl?" She gave a smirk and small laugh.
"I started caring when I kissed you for the first time." He gave that beautiful smile Hermione loved to see.
Hermione knew that he was sincere. She also knew why he was saying all these things about her being safe. She didn't want to ask about it for she knew that it would just make it harder.
"That is very sweet and all but why?" Draco looked confused at the why part. "I mean why are you worried about my safety?" Again she knew why but she wanted to hear it for herself from his lips.
"It's complicated and I don't want you to run from it." His face saddened.
"When have I ever ran from something? Tell me. Please." She begged.
"I wish I could. I really want to. But I know you know anyways."
"I want to hear it from you." She grabbed both of his hands and looked into his eyes.
"Why? It is a lot easier to not say it."
"No, just tell me."
"Alright." He paused and took and Hermione to another section of the library where no one was. "This year the Dark Lord-" He paused again and looked over Hermione's shoulder. "The Dark Lord has chosen me for a task." Two third years from Ravenclawhadstopped where Hermione and Draco were. Draco took Hermione's hand and they went to the next isle of books and continued to whisper. "I have to assassinate a great wizard." He swallowed hard and continued. "It's the only to ensure my family's safety and guarantees my spot as a death eater replacing my father."
Hermione sat down on the floor and looked up at Draco.
"Who?"
"What?"
"Who? Who do you have to kill?!"
Draco slid down the book shelf and sat down by Hermione. He put his arm around her and held her hand.
"Dumbledore." Hermione shot up as soon as he said the name.
She looked at him like he was a monster, her eyes wide and hand over her mouth. She shook her head and wanted to run.
Draco got up and tried to calm her down but she pushed him away.
"No." She continued to shake her head.
"Yes. They don't think I will succeed, but I have to. My family."
"So what about us? Everything that has happened will be gone."
"It's been great but-"
"Wait. I know what is going on. It's getting too serious so your leaving. You made up this whole story just so it would be easier for you! You know I actually took everything you said seriously. I'm so stupid." She tried to walk away but Draco followed her. She stopped so no one else will hear their arguments.
"You got it all wrong! It's true and I wasn't leaving you when I said it all. I was telling you because you wanted to know! Now your telling me that I'm lying?!" He stood in front of her and tried to settle her down.
"What?!"She paused and couldn't think of anything else to say.
"I just want you to be safe if anything is to happen. No matter what I'll be by your side. It's not over yet. There is a lot of fighting still to be done." He gave a reassuring smile and hug.
"I just don't know what to say anymore. I knew you had something you had to do but I never would've guessed it." She paused. "So is that what you have been doing when you run off with no explanation, preparing to kill dumbledore with your secrecy and carrying strange packages?"
"Yes."
"You can't do this."
"I have to do this." He said with his eyes glistening and his throat tightening. He looked terrified. "Please. Just put your life back together for me."
"It will never be fully together without you. No matter who I am with my life is incomplete." She walked away to find Harry and Ron. She was doing for her Draco and not for herself. She missed them though.
Draco stood there watching her walk away. He really had no idea what was going to happen. He had to do it. No matter what. He wanted his family safe and Hermione safe. Of course she will never be safe as long as she was a muggle born and friends Harry Potter. No matter she was safer with them than with him. Draco had countless emotions which was stranger because he usually was emotionless. He felt a trickle down his cheek and his eyes burned from holding it all back.
Hermione went about finishing her lessons and found Harry and Ron at dinner.
She walked up to where they were sitting and cleared her throat to make her presence known.
"I need to talk to you two." Harry turned and Ron followed they both looked at each other and nodded. Harry turned back around and Ron kept looking at her and replied.
"Alright then go on." Ron said with a snarky attitude.
"I mean privately." She looked down at her feet embarrassed.
"Fine then." Harry didn't even look at her. But Hermione knew that he was giving her the most dirty look possible.
"If you all will excuse us." Ron said ,mostly saying that to Lavender who wasn't pleased that he was going somewhere with Hermione Granger, while getting up from the table.
The three walked in silence to the entrance hall. None of them didn't say anything for awhile until Hermione spoke up.
"I'm sorry."
"What Malfoy already break up with you?" Harry replied his voice cold as ice. Hermione didn't know weather to yes and lie or no and have them walk away.
"I was very wrong and I need you two. And I was hoping that you need me to."
"Well, I understand that you need us, but we.." Ron waved his finger between himself and Harry. "have been getting along great without you."
"Really? How your marks in classes then?" She wanted to smirk but tried to keep a straight face.
"Well that's not the point." Ron stumbled over his words.
"Oh really. So you have never needed me to help with your homework and of course potions? How are you understanding girls by the way? Getting along great then?"
"Alright you've got a point but, but" Harry couldn't think of anything witty to say. Hermione always beat him on that. The game of witts champion was and always will be Hermione Jean Granger.
"Exactly."
"Fine. If we must forgive we will." Harry and Ron said in unison.
"Oh no don't feel obliged to forgive."
"But you are right. We do need you. Are marks are so horrible. And you need us too."
"You are right I do need you." She smiled. And felt herself welcome again. She missed them dearly.
"Right then back to dinner then?" Harry said with a smile and hugged Hermione like it's been ten years since they have spoken.
They walked back to the Great Hall and caught up on what has been going in their lives. Hermione, though, didn't tell them about Draco. SHe thought it would be better to keep that part of her life seperate.
They enetered the hall and sat down at their house table. Ginny was glad that Hermione was back and Lavender was not pleased and a little jelous with the fact that the trio was reunited.
Everyone can never happy. No matter what happens someone will be unhappy.
A/N: Hermione's middle I believe is Jean. It was Jane but change so she wouldn't have the same name as Dolores Umbridge. Also I'm trying to fit all that happened in the Half blood prince into this fanfic. It's not going so well but I try. If you have any ideas that might fit into here let me know! I could use some help! Please and Thank you(:
Please Review! Ple(:
