Dramione – Part One

Draco Malfoy always hated Valentines Day, he never told anyone why, but for some reason this one was worse. For starters, he had Pansy Parkinson drooling all over him at any time possible, not that this was unusual, and he was surrounded with couples kissing. As he sat in the Slytherin Common Room he looked around in search of something to do. There was the fire crackling directly opposite him, there was Zabini Blaise with some girl, he couldn’t see her face, there was the chocolate that Pansy had given him and he hadn’t touched, and Crabbe and Goyle talking about something. Draco caught a few words like ‘shake’ and ‘hippogriff’. As he looked around again he didn’t notice that Pansy was coming though the portrait hole.
“Drackie,” she whispered “guess who”
“Pansy not now I’ve got to go to the...” he paused to think on what to say “the library, I need to catch up on some homework.”
“Oh, ok, I’ll see you later then?” she said then she saw the chocolates that lay, unopened, on the side table. “Will you have a chocolate before you go?”
“Sure!” and he grabbed one and walked as fast as he could out of the Common Room so she couldn’t catch him.
When he was out he through the chocolate to floor and carried on walking to the library. “The chocolates were bound to have some sort of love potion in them!” He muttered to himself.
At the library he saw an odd scene. There at the centre table was a girl, with her head in her hands, crying. As he got closer to her he realised it was the mudblood, Granger. He turned to walk away but something stopped him, so he walked over to her and sat down opposite her.
“What’s up?” he asked.
At this she looked up. She looked surprised to see him and then said “Leave me alone Malfoy, it’s none of your business.”
“Yeah I know, I was just asking.” He replied, His voice was softer than he meant it to be.
“Why, I thought you hated me?” Granger snapped.
“I do, it’s just that-”
“Then why are you even concerned?” she said
“I don’t know.” Draco was confusing himself now. “I’ll just go, shall I?”
As he walked away Granger got up and ran over to him.
“No, please I could really use somebody to talk to, if you don’t mind?” she looked a bit uneasy as she said this.
Then Draco felt something. He felt sympathy for her he also noticed that she was smiling at him. She had a beautiful smile. Wait, what did he just think? No no no, he did not think that about the mudblood. Although before he knew what he was doing he said,
“Sure.” and they were sat at the table once again.
“It’s all Harry’s fault, I mean, the first valentines is supposed to be special and all he wants to do is play Quidditch. It’s supposed to be a day of romance and he didn’t even get me some chocolates or flowers or anything. It’s all a total mess!” She finished and Draco didn’t know what to say. Eventually he said,
“Pansy got me chocolates but I didn’t eat them.”
“Pansy? Pansy Parkinson? Really?” Granger asked,
“Yeah, she never gives me a moments peace, I mean, give me some space to breathe” He exclaimed
They both started giggling and Granger had stopped crying. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the bell went and they both looked around. Draco had got to his feet, and with one last smile and Granger, he walked quickly from the room.

When Draco got back to the Common Room, the smile that had been on his face all the way back from the library disappeared in an instant. Pansy ran over to him and said,
“You’ve been forever, Drackie, what happened to you?”
“Nothing, I just needed some fresh air, that’s all.” He told her, although he didn’t look at her. He couldn’t look at her. “Excuse me, I’m going to go freshen up!”
Up in the Dormitory he lay on his bed and drew the green hangings round. What was going on, first he talks to Granger when she’s upset, then he has a laugh with her and now he can’t stop thinking about her.
He must have been there for at least an hour, maybe longer, when the door opened. Then he heard Blaise.
“Dray, Dray?” the hangings opened “what are you doing up here?”
“Nothing, what do you want?” Draco asked
“Pansy wanted to know if you were coming down for dinner in the Great Hall, that’s all.”
“Yeah, I’ll be down in a minute!”
As he got ready for dinner his thoughts wandered, once again, to Granger. He didn’t know why he was always thinking about her, nor did he care. He went down to the Common Room to find Pansy waiting for him.
“Blaise has already gone.” She informed him.
They walk into the Great hall and his eyes automatically went to the Gryffindor table and he saw her looking back at him, Granger, and she was smiling at him so he smiled back. When he left the Great Hall with the Slytherins, he made an excuse to stay behind and he waited for Hermione, Wait when did he start calling her by her first name? Never mind. About 5 minutes later she stormed out of the Hall and it looked like she was crying again. Draco tried to catch up with her but she was practically running along the corridor so he ran after her.
“Hermione, Hermione, wait!” he yelled “Hermione please slow down, stop!”
She slowed down a little and when Draco got to her she collapsed into tears in his arms. He held her tight as to be comforting and she put her arms round him to. Somehow, thought Draco, this felt right.
“Hermione, what happened?” he asked
“Harry and Ron,” she said through her sobs “they saw me sm-smiling at you, a-and they asked what I-I was doing, and before I c-could answer them R-Ron went completely mad at me!” She tried to calm herself down and then went on “I’m sorry to dump all this on you Draco, especially twice in one day, you must think I’m a total wreck.”
“No, not really,” Draco replied. She’s so pretty, he thought. “I guess I’ll see you tonight anyway.”
“What? Why?” she asked. It was obvious she was confused.
“Prefect Duty, you didn’t forget did you?” Draco said with a giggle.
“Actually I did, I’ll meet you by the one eyed witch ok?” Hermione replied also giggling.
“Ok.” And he turned and walked away.

Draco was sat in the Common Room with Pansy lying on him and chatting to Blaise about something that had happened earlier in the day when he noticed the time. He jumped up out of his seat, almost pushing Pansy to the floor and ran through the Portrait Hole. He waited for Hermione where she said to and 15 minutes later she showed up.
“Hey, what took you so long?” Draco wondered aloud.
“Ronald!” She replied with a look of annoyance on her face,
With that they set off. About 10 minutes later the lights all went out, leaving them in complete darkness. Hermione slapped Draco on his chest in a playful sort of way.
“Draco, put the lights back.” She giggled
“I didn’t do that, it must have been Peeves or someone else but it defiantly weren’t me!” Draco told her as he rubbed where she had hit him.
“Well, we have to go somewhere and get a lantern, do you have your wand on you?” Draco could tell she was getting a little worried, her voice was shaking. As he lit his wand Hermione squealed and grabbed his arm.
“Did you hear that?” She demanded
Although Draco didn’t hear anything he agreed and he held her closer to him. He liked how this had turned out. Hermione looked deep into his eyes and ever so gently pressed her lips against his. “This can’t be happening” Draco thought to himself “this has to be a dream” but before he knew it he had his hands around her waist.
“We shouldn’t do this,” Said Hermione as she pulled away from Draco “What will Harry think?”
“Why should we care?” Draco pointed out and he kissed her again.
