Quote from Friends
"You're really starting to creep me out, Malfoy." Harry said, barely looking up from the file he was reading, "You've been starting at that picture of Hermione for the past two weeks."
"I need to get her back." Draco sighed, "I'm going crazy without her. Has she said anything to you about me?"
Harry set down the file and could help the small smile when he saw the hopeful look on Malfoy's face, "Well, she's not as mad at you as she was. Do you have a plan?"
"I figured, after work, I'd pick up a bottle of wine, go over there, and try to… woo her."
"You know what you should do? Take her back to the 1800s, when that phrase was last used."
"That won't be necessary." Hermione said, entering the office.
"Hey, Mione." Harry greeted, hugging his best friend.
"Hello, Harry. I just came by to make sure you didn't forget about your meeting with Ginny and the attorney. I know you don't like that it's come to this, but it needs to happen. She can't keep treating you like this." Hermione explained, handing him the envelope containing the divorce papers.
"I know, I know." Harry sighed, standing up and putting his coat on.
"I'm sorry, Harry; I know how much you loved her."
"I'm sorry, too."
"Good luck. If you need anything tonight, just stop by my flat."
"Will do." Harry replied, not able to hide the smile as Hermione straighten his tie and brush the imaginary lint off his shoulders. He kissed her cheek and left the office.
"Well, it was nice to see you, Draco." Hermione said coolly, before turning to leave.
Draco flicked his wand and the door closed, locking itself.
"We need to talk, Hermione." Draco told her, his voice pleading her to listen.
"You made how you felt about me and our relationship perfectly clear, Malfoy."
"That wasn't me talking!"
"Gee, he sure did look and sound an awful lot like you."
"You know what I mean!"
"Enlighten me, Draco!"
"I love you, Hermione!"
"You're about a month late."
Hermione cursed herself for sounding so broken and for letting her tears escape.
"I love you, Hermione," Draco stepped closer to her and cradled her head in his hands, "I…that was my fear of commitment talking and I said a lot of shit that I didn't mean. You have to know that I love you."
"Well, I don't love you anymore."
"That's bullshit, and you know it."
"Oh, really? How would you know how I feel?"
"You mean to tell me that if I kissed you, right here, right now, that you wouldn't feel anything but anger toward me."
"Yes."
"You're lying."
"You broke my heart, Draco. I don't want to feel anything but anger toward you. I want to be able to see you and not feel like crying, but I can't."
"Forgive me. Please."
"Draco…"
"I'm not afraid of completely falling for you anymore. I just want to be with you."
Hermione stared at him for a moment before capturing his lips in a passionate kiss.
"I love you, Draco." Hermione smiled softly as she rested her head on his forehead.
"I love you, too, Mia." Draco returned the smile before kissing her again.
