Chapter 14: I Think I Love You
Hermione practically skipped back to the Heads Room.
Her friendship with Ron, and Harry had been fixed. And she had two new great friends.
Malfoy had been right. Harry and Ron really were her friends. He had just been trying to get under her skin that day.
But the thing that surprised Hermione the most was how he tried to make amends for what he did. He tried to make things better. He was the one pushing her back towards her friends. If it wasn't for him she wouldn't have been friends with Carter Anne and Rose, who were helping her immensely. She still would've been fuming at Harry and Ron for 'ditching' her. She wouldn't feel this happy at the moment if it wasn't for him. She owed him a thank you.
Entering the Heads Dorm she looked around.
"Malfoy!" She shouted merrily. He didn't respond. Hermione decided to try again.
"Malfoy come down a need to tell you something!" She shouted.
'That you have a huge crush on him?' A voice whispered in her head. That strangely sounded like Carter Anne. She pushed that thought away.
Draco still wasn't responding, Hermione rolled her eyes at that.
Gathering up all her courage she decided to go knock on his door. Usually he would shout at her for even being near his door. She only went near it when the circumstances were deadly. So never really. But right now she needed to tell him something.
Lightly tapping the door.
"Malfoy are you in there? I need to tell you something." She announced.
"Malfoy come on, I would like to tell you this year." She continued.
Finally Hermione decided to open the door.
"Malfoy don't yell at-" She started but then stopped. First out of shock of what she did.
'You must really like him' The voice continued. Sounding an awful lot like Rose.
Second because of the sight. Draco Malfoy was sitting on the floor. In front of the dimming fire place, sleeping. But he was sleeping at an awkward angle. Which made Hermione flinch.
His face was what people would call the perfect image of calm. He looked so relaxed. More relaxed then she had ever seen him before. In fact some might say he looked cute.
Hermione Granger was most definitely apart of those 'some people' and the thing is. She knew it.
Her eyes widened as soon as she realized what she was thinking. She was thinking that Draco Malfoy, her sworn enemy, cute. But that wasn't all. She was starting to find him sweet, and smart too.
'He's also pretty understanding... I mean that one night.' Her thoughts continued for her.
'No stop Hermione, come on, this is Malfoy.' She battled.
'You're judging him by his last name? How very Snape of you.'
'What do you mean?'
'You're judging someone based off of what their Father is doing. Didn't Snape do that to Harry?'
'I guess...'
'Exactly, the boy you're looking at right now. His name is Draco. He hardly got a childhood, he has no choice. He's being forced by someone to get information out of you. He's just a scared little boy.' Her voice ended.
Hermione stood paralyzed. She was paralyzed by her thoughts, and emotions.
She looked back at the sleeping boy. The light that was being casted on his face was fading away. Hermione sighed.
She was able to pick him up and put him in his bed. Then started making her way out of the room.
"Oh, Malfoy, I just wanted you to know- I think I'm starting to love you." She whispered to herself. Looking down, her face red, before leaving the room.
Draco woke up, in a soft warm bed. His bed.
"How did I get here?" He wondered aloud, as he sat up slowly.
He was still a little sore from his time spent on the floor. But not as sore as he would've been if he spent the rest of his little break there.
Slowly he stumbled out of bed. His flooring was a bit cold, considering the fire went out around an hour ago.
He quickly made his way to the window. The sun was setting in an array of colors. That honestly looked quite beautiful. Especially tonight. It actually made him smile a bit. Then his smile slowly faded away. He still had an important letter to write.
So he sat at his dark wooden desk and began to write.
I have told you I want nothing to do with the Death Eaters. I have a feeling I know what your last letter said. I also have a feeling I did the right thing by burning it before I could even lay my eyes upon the words. My reasoning behind leaving is none of your concern. I can assure you that. I also know that I will be disowned for leaving, which is fine by me. I don't even want to be apart of this family if this is what you think families do. Because I know for a fact this is not a 'family bonding activity'.
Again as I've said before, if you ever try to come in to contact with me again. I will inform the Ministry and the Order where you and your Death Eaters are hiding. Your last letter was the only thing I'll let slide. This is your final warning letter, I do suggest you take it seriously.
Send Mother my apologies.
Draco Malfoy.
Draco sighed as he finished the letter.
He honestly didn't want to leave his Mother like that. But as long as his Father was in charge of the Malfoy's he had to get away. Even if that meant leaving the family. Even if it meant he wouldn't get the money that they had stored up for generations. Even if it meant that he wouldn't have parents anymore.
Now if his Father stopped following Voldemort. It would be a different story. He would reconsider everything. But Draco knew that, that possibility was slim. He knew his Father would do anything for Voldemort, even if it meant disowning his only son. His Father was a weak coward, who was terrified to do right. Afraid to change what he had been doing wrong his whole life.
Draco didn't want to be like that. Ever.
Hermione was sitting, and enjoying a good book when Draco came out.
She decided to pretend not to hear him as he walked out of his room.
Her eyes were focused on her book, but the words in front of her didn't make sense. She was thinking of something other than her book at the time.
"Hey Granger, did you go in my room by chance?" Draco asked.
Hermione shook her head.
"No, I didn't, and none of my friends came over, because I know you're about to imply that they stole whatever your missing." Hermione replied. Draco sat in an armchair near her.
"No, nothings stole, just something was- moved. Speaking of your friends, how did it go with Potter and Weasel?" He questioned. Hermione broke out into a huge grin.
"That went wonderfully. I guess you were right. They were avoiding me because they thought I was mad at them for some reason. Not because they hated me. Thank you by the way." Hermione spoke, blushing a bit.
Her eyes where still focused on the book. So she didn't catch the two grey eyes that were fixed upon her.
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Well because, you had forced me to go talk with them. And if you hadn't done that I would still probably be mopping around."
"Oh, I see." He replied.
"I can get Harry up here by tomorrow evening, if you still want to use that vial on him." Hermione commented. Draco stared at her.
"What time could you get him up here by?"
"Considering I'm Head Girl at any time."
"Ten p.m. would be a good time for me."
"Then ten p.m. it will be."
"Thanks I guess Granger."
"No problem."
Draco got up, with parchment in hand and left to go to the send his letter.
So you probably are really confused. Why does he still need to talk to Harry if he stopped following Voldemort. That's for me to know, and you to find out. Also next chapter should be last chapter!
