Chương 15: part 15
She had never talked about them. There were so many secrets she had kept from everyone about her parents, she never wanted to mention them, she never wanted to talk about it. It always bought back memories of them and that killed her. She didn't want to admit that but it did kill her, it still hurt. She wasn't over it like she pretended to be. Every time something good or bad happened in her life she thought about them, it hurt, like a knife in the heart. This was one of those good moments.
Hermione Granger looked to her right, on the other bed lay Draco. She liked being with him, she loved it. Yet she had stuff on her mind that she'd never talked about. He did. He had thoughts and feelings about his father, he had told her so should she tell him? Only if I feel ready... He moved. Hermione looked at him as his eyes opened, they were beautiful.
"Morning," he whispered facing her.
"Morning," she grinned at him.
"You okay?" Draco asked her.
"Yea," she whispered.
"Then what's up with the face?"
"What face?"
"Ok, its not the face but its more your eyes."
"My eyes."
"As beautiful as they are, they look sad, if it's because of me..."
"No!" Hermione said. "No, its not you."
"Then?" Draco asked.
"We're late for breakfast," Hermione got up and walked to the bathroom.
"Hermione," Draco called after her.
"We're late!" Hermione called opening the door.
"Morning lessons are cancelled," Draco said. "Remember, they cancelled it yesterday."
Hermione sighed, "We still need breakfast!"
"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine," Draco said softly walking to her.
Hermione stood in the door way, "I can't talk about it yet."
Draco nodded, "Its ok."
Hermione smiled, she pecked him on the cheek before entering the bathroom. She changed and showered and then Draco did before they both went to breakfast. People were surprised when they entered holding hands, everyone had heard about the fight they had yesterday. Everyone whispered and pointed.
Draco's table was first but he walked Hermione to her table and kissed her before leaving.
"Awww!" Ginny and Lavender grinned.
"Shut up," Hermione blushed.
"So loving the marriage law now, right?" Ginny asked.
"Shut up," Hermione replied.
"You and him!" Ron asked.
"Yea me and him," Hermione sighed. "And no we're not spending breakfast talking about this."
After a few moments silence Ginny spoke, "So why do seventh year not have classes this morning?"
"Because the work load is piling up. We've been given the morning off to catch up, anyone who doesn't get detention," Hermione replied.
"Wait, Detention?" Ron asked.
"Yea Ron," Hermione rolled her eyes.
"We'll catch up relax," Harry said to Ron.
Ron mumbled.
"I'm going to be in the library, where are you three going to be?" Hermione asked Lavender, Ron and Harry.
"Library too," Lavender said.
"Me too," Harry said.
"That means I'll be there too," Ron sighed.
"If you don't want to be there, then don't. Just stop moaning!" Lavender said which shut Ron up.
After breakfast they all headed to the library, Draco said he and Blaise were going to work in the common room. Hermione agreed to meet him a little before lunch. In the library, she was the first to finish, and still had half the morning off. She continued with her revision, her mind wondering to her parent's...the summer...she sighed. Lavender looked at her, Hermione shook her head. Lavender thought she was having trouble with the revision. Hermione looked at the time, it was half an hour before lunch. She said goodbye to everyone and walked to the sixth floor corridor where Draco was waiting for her. He smiled at her and kissed her when she reached him.
"Hey, missed me?" He smirked.
"Not really," Hermione lied.
"Liar," Draco grinned wrapping his arm around her waist as they walked.
"I missed you a little," Hermione replied.
He smirked, "I knew it!"
Hermione laughed at him. They spent some time talking about random things and events. They laughed and giggled and Hermione tried to put her parents to the back of her head. At lunch she ate while Ron complained about N.E. . Hermione kept looking up and every time she looked so would he. They would stare at each other like no one else was in the room. Then her parents entered her mind and she would look away. The same process over and over again.
She got up after lunch and they walked to Potions together. Snape was in a foul mood as usual. He yelled at them and barked orders. Hermione nearly made a mistake and if it wasn't for Luna (yes Luna), she would've had detention. Her mind was wondering, she felt dizzy.
"Hermione," Luna asked. "Hermione are you ok?"
"Luna," Hermione whispered before fainting.
Draco ran to her side. Snape had used his wand to conjure cushions on the floor.
"Hermione!" Draco whispered. "She's not moving!"
"She's unconscious," Snape said. "Take her to the hospital wing! Levitate her there."
Draco nodded as he levitated her to the hospital wing. His heart was racing, he was petrified that she wasn't breathing.
"Madam Pomfrey...fix her!" Draco begged.
"Calm down. She'll be fine," Madam Pomfrey reassured him before closing the curtains and looking at Hermione.
Draco waited. Please be okay. Why had she fainted? What was wrong with her?
"Mr Malfoy, she's fine, overwhelmed and fainted," Madam Pomfrey said.
"Can I see her?" Draco asked. Madam Pomfrey nodded.
Draco entered through the curtains.
"You okay?" Draco asked.
Hermione was sitting on the bed, "Yea. I can go."
"Yea I know," Draco offered his hand, she took it. "Hermione please talk to me."
Hermione nodded, "Not here, can we go somewhere...private?"
Draco nodded and led her to the Room of Requirements. He opened the door. There was a warm fire and large comfy black sofas. He closed the door behind Hermione, who sat down slowly.
"Its about my parents," Hermione said not looking at Draco. Draco waited. "Their...not in this world, you know that. I guess you don't know half of it though."
"Then tell me," Draco said softly holding Hermione's hands.
"They died because of Voldermort. He killed them, and I wasn't even there to protect them. I was out fighting and when I came back...my house had a dark mark above it...they were gone," the waterworks had begun. Draco moved towards her and let her lean on his chest.
"I said I got over it, to Harry and the others, and I thought I was," Hermione said. "But I wasn't. Every time something happens in my life, I think of them, I know its normal to think of them but...and then this summer."
"What happened?"
"This summer, I stayed at the Burrow since my parents...and this summer in the last week I was meant to go back to the house...I went to the street...I couldn't go in, I couldn't! I had to get the neighbour to check the house...I couldn't face it!"
Draco hugged her as she cried.
"I'm meant to be brave! I couldn't even face it! I'm fake!" Hermione complained.
Draco didn't understand why she fainted until the next sentence.
"They must be disappointed in me," Hermione admitted for the first time in her life.
"Is that why you fainted? Is that what you think?"
"Yea, it is."
"Then you're stupid."
"What?" Hermione stared at him.
"You're stupid Hermione," Draco repeated. "How can they be disappointed with you? You're perfect, you're a great person! You fought in the war, you avenged their death! Your kind! Your sweet, no one in the world is disappointed in you."
Hermione was in tears again and she hugged him tightly, "Draco..."
"I know I'm sweet but I'm being honest. You're perfect, especially to me!"
She kissed him lightly, "Its just I feel lost, alone with out them!"
"You have me, Mione, I promise I will never leave you! You will never be alone! You're stuck with me!" Draco smirked.
"Mione?" Hermione asked. Draco shrugged. "Draco that's sweet but..."
"But nothing, I'm here for you whenever you need it!" Draco held her tightly, "I mean it, when ever you need me."
Hermione kissed him hungrily, "Thank you," She said, inches between them.
"For?"
"Listening to me, being here," Hermione whispered.
"Makes us even," Draco smirked as he kissed her neck. He moved down and planted a few butterfly kisses down her neck.
Hermione pushed him away.
"Sorry," Draco murmured.
"No I didn't mean stop," Hermione whispered. "I mean let's go back to our room."
"Oh," Draco smirked. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean it's your first time right?"
Hermione nodded, "I wanna, now come on."
Draco grinned as Hermione pulled him up. Maybe they could live together...
