Heyyy so I updated yesterday, and I thought hmm why not get started on Chapter 4 after all Chapter 3 was pretty short for my liking. I just hmm how do I say it I'm not that good making long Chapters! But hey as always I'm open to any suggestions that any of you guys may have.
Chapter 4: The Enemy is my Friend?
I woke up to find myself on a huge king-sized bed, with silk emerald green sheets, and a silver comforter. Many black, silver, and green pillows were arranged around me. In a Crib like manner, as if I'd fall off the edges of the bed.
The room was humongous, almost the size of a lounge. All around the room-like-lounge where things one would only be able to see in a Muggle- Magazine of famous peoples rooms and houses.
I sat up in bed to get a better view of my surroundings. There in the end of the room was a giant book black bookcase filled with many leather bound books, with a spinning globe on to, made of what I could only guess was silver and Glass. There were also two emerald couches with a hint of black. in the room as well as one love seat (Link: https : / / market place . second life . com / p / emerald - silk - furniture couch - chairruglamppillow - sittable / 1182214 take the spaces out), with a an emerald and black center table.
Also there where three doors in the room that could lead to what I could only guess was as walk-in-closet, bathroom, and probably corridor or hallway.
There were two double doors made or glass, that lead to a balcony, beyond its railings I could make out a clear blue sky, as well as a lot of blue.
Intrigued I left the comforts of the bed, and walked towards the balcony. I noticed I was still in last night's clothes, but my shoes were missing. As I got to the balcony I noticed that all that blue was an ocean, crystal blue, and breathtakingly beautiful. I opened the doors and stepped out, taking a deep breath, and a look around. The sand was white, and clean, and as far as I could see no people where near it.
I didn't have an idea of where I was. So I walked back into the room, and noticed someone was asleep on the couch. Just as I was about to go take a look, I noticed my wand was missing.
"Oh Sh-," I was cut off as the sleeping form on the couch turned over to face me. Only not the sleeping form had a name, Draco Malfoy.
Just then, last night's events came flashing back before my eyes. Me getting to be head girl, the club, Ron and-and Lavander, seeing Malfoy at the muggle club. Our moment of bonding. Me basically trying to get into his pants! His rejecting me, which lead to him, comforting me over Ron.
Yes, Draco Malfoy, former death eater comforted me, Hermione Granger, muggleborn.
"Oh Gosh," I sat down on one of the nearest couches. As I remembered aparating here. Him telling me this was the Malfoy Beach House, to which they came on vacations. Him hugging me, whispering soothing words into my ear until I fell asleep in his arms.
Tears brimmed my eyes, but I wiped them away. Since when was I such a sentimental person?
"No Hermione, No, NO More crying over Ron," A sob made its way across my lips. Then I stopped perplexed as I heard a yawn coming from the neighboring couch.
I looked over to see that I had woken Malfoy up. Great now I really had done it. He was probably going to shoo me away, now that he didn't have any alcohol in his system.
I was unwanted everywhere!
I just let the tears fall as I furiously wiped them away. Suddenly I felt an arm around me, and I welcomed the embrace even if I knew it was from Malfoy.
"Why?" I asked between tears. Seriously what was wrong with me! Part of me welcomed Malfoy while the other part wanted him far away as possible.
"Why what?" He asked in a caring tone. I snorted. As if he cared about me!
"Why did you bring me here if you have a girlfriend? Why are you comforting me? Why are you, being so nice to me?" I spat.
He looked taken aback. But I could hear the sincerity in his voice as he spoke, "I-I don't know Granger, I don't know"
"Thank you," I wiped the last of the tears from my eyes. He looked at me questioningly, "Thank you, for being there for me when no one else was."
He smiled tentively at me, as if I was some deer about to run away at the slightest show of aggression. "That's what friends are for? Is it not?"
"So where friends?" I gave a small smile of my own.
"Well are we Enemies?" I shook my head, no he wasn't my enemy not anymore. Although I wasn't ready to let go of the past. "Are we acquaintances" I shook my head yes, and then no.
"Sooo Maybe we're in-between acquaintances and… friends?" I smiled
"Yeah, I suppose." I then laughed. "Wow I can't believe it."
He laughed with me, "Yeah well you're not the only one you know."
"Yeah I wonder how my friends are going to take these news, but speaking of them I think I should get back to the Borrow." I only have a couple days to finish getting packed to get back to our last year at Hogwarts. I was making a mental list of things I had to pack.
"Yeah, I owled Potter." I gave him what I suppose was a surprised look. "I- uhh- I hope you don't mind that I told him you were spending the night here." I gasped,
"Oh no they must think we-"He quickly cut me off.
"Don't worry I explained, well I described the state you were in, and I don't think that he would assume you and me would you know"
"Thank you, so much." I grimaced, great now I was going to have to explain the while thing to Harry and Ginny. "I think I should be on my way, could I have my wand? And shoes?"
"Oh yeah I took your wand and hid it, just in case you didn't remember anything from last night and wanted to hex my balls off," I laughed, he was right I would have.
"So why'd you hide my heels too?" I asked
He looked at me incredulously "Bloody hell woman you could have used those as a weapon against my handsome self."
"Hmm I never thought about them as a weapon but thanks for the tip Malfoy."
He left me alone in the room, as he went to retrieve my things.
"Thanks" I slipped my heels on, and put my wand away in part of the dress which my mom had sewn just to be able to put my wand at an easy access for me.
"Could I use the Bathroom" I wanted to make sure I looked at least half decent, before I showed up at the Borrow.
"Make yourself at home." He said as he walked into the closet to change.
I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was sticking up in all directions, my eyes were bloodshot, and my make-up was messed up.
Yup, I looked like shit.
So transfiguring a nearby hand towel into a brush I wet my hair, and began to tame my hair. After that was done I transfigured the brush back into the towel, and washed my face with soap, and water. After straightening out my dress, and deciding I really should have used a bra.
I walked out of the bathroom to see Malfoy was dressed in black pants, and a wine red shirt. The first couple of top buttons left purposely undone. His hair was also done, he looked at me expectantly.
"Ready?"
"You know you don't have to take me." I insisted before, I began walking in his direction.
"Yes, I do. I gave my word to Ginevra that I would return you personally to the Borrow. Now I know we'll arrive late, but at least ill still keep my word and take you myself." He gave me his smirk, and lifted a blond brow as if asking me to argue with his logic.
"Fine," He grabbed my hand, and I apparated us to the Borrow.
