Ch. 2

I woke up the next day, shocked. What had happened last night? It definitely felt as if it was a dream, and I was having a hard time trying to convince myself that it hadn't actually happened. I freaking kissed Draco Malfoy.

A Slytherin.

A possible death eater, in Harry's eyes.

What the hell had I done?

'Well he did kiss you first Hermione', I thought to myself. Oh, as if that was an excuse. But for some reason, I couldn't seem to bring myself to feel bad about it. However I did feel bad for Dra-Malfoy. As much as I didn't want to, I had remembered everything single thing of last night. I remembered my lips being caressed by his soft ones, before hearing Harry's clear, livid voice.

'I was still in Malfoy's arms when I heard him. I turned, to see Harry and Ron standing coldly in front of us both, just a few meters away. I remembered Malfoy strangely tightening his grip around my waist. Ron was practically seething and made a move towards Malfoy with his wand, before Harry stopped him, and instead walked towards us. He tugged tightly on my shoulder, and suddenly I was in his arms instead. Malfoy knew not to cross Harry, and especially not at that moment.

"Now I know what was taking so long.", he said bitterly.

And with that, he turned a way, me having no choice but to follow him. With Harry and Ron slightly ahead of me, I decided to turn around before we turned the corner in the hallway. When I saw his face, I felt something inside me….crumble a little. The way he was looking at me…..it was as if the most inspiring idea he had ever had had vanished and that he would never be able to dream again. I turned away and ignored my wanting to run back into his arms. This wasn't supposed to happen.'

After I had showered and dressed, I decided to meet Harry and Ron down at the great hall for breakfast. Although I was afraid of what they would say, but who else was I supposed to sit with? Lavender and Parvati? I didn't think so. Although they were my friends, they were sometimes so catty I could barely stand it. And of course Ginny would be there, and she would be able to convince the guys to forgive me! Then I remembered she was Harry's girlfriend. So forget about forgiveness for a moment. I pushed open the heavy doors to the great hall, and walked in.

Silence.

Everybody looked at me, and I knew it wasn't because I was extremely late. Maybe it was? I walked quickly, looking down until I reached the Gryffindor table. What was going on here?

"Hey guys", I said, quickly squeezing in next to Ginny.

"Hi.", she said rather briskly, before turning back to Harry and Ron, whom both said nothing. They obviously weren't ready to talk to me, and Ginny was siding with them. It wasn't even fair. All of them hadn't even bothered to hear my side of the story. Well….did I even I have one? I realized I wasn't hungry as I stared at the lonely blueberry muffin on my plate. I poured myself a cup of pumpkin juice instead and resorted to my not so wanted Plan B.

"Hi Lavender and Parvati", I smiled. They seemed a bit surprised, but included me in their conversation happily. Soon enough I zoned out after five minutes of hearing about the latest handbags and shoes, and I began to look around the hall. My eyes scanned table after table, looking at people laughing, talking about classes among other things. Just as I was about to move on to the next table, I bright blonde head caught my eye. I gasped internally, and forgot to breathe momentarily. I definitely wasn't prepared for that. I stared at him for a moment. He wasn't talking, but was turning an unbitten fresh green apple in his pale fingers. Every once in a while, he would look at Pansy and Blaise, who seemed to be arguing, but then would return to absentmindedly playing with his apple and the rim on his cup. I decided to look away before I was caught but-

Then he looked right at me.

Suddenly it felt as if he was right in front of me, his silvery, icy, grey-blue eyes seeping into my body and examining every fiber of my being. My hands tightened under the table. Suddenly, I shut my eyes for a moment, and when I looked again, he wasn't there. My eyes darted around quickly, and I saw a bit of his body before it disappeared behind the grand doors. When he left I exhaled and realized that I hadn't been breathing. I relaxed and slowly uncurled my fists. In each palm, there were five red half-mooned ridges drawn into my skin. I sighed, and looked at the door. It was unfair for a person to have such an effect on me. I didn't ask for this. I wondered if I should go after him, but he would've probably disappeared already. Slowly, my eyes reverted back to where he had been sitting at the table, even though he was no longer there.

But the apple was.
