Something Unexpected (A Dramione Story)

Chapter 6

‘Hello Draco.’ Luna said with her dreamy voice.
‘Oh hello Luna.’ Draco said smiling.
‘I saw you walk with Hermione this morning.’ Luna said smiling.
‘Oh yeah she was upset.’ Draco said.
‘I know, I saw her run away when we ate breakfast.’ Luna said.
‘Yeah…’ Draco said.
‘Though I thought Professor McGonagall’s reacting was pretty funny.’ Luna said laughing.
‘PARKINSON! ARE YOU CRAZY! TO MY OFFICE NOW!’ Draco imitated.
Luna laughed and nodded.
‘How is she now?’ Luna asked.
‘She is fine I think.’ Draco said.
‘You two are so cute together.’ Luna said.
Draco looked down at his feet and blushed.
‘Promise me you’re going to make work of it in the vacation.’ Luna said smiling.
‘Wha… What?’ Draco said.
‘Do you want me to help?’ Luna asked.
‘Aren’t you going home?’ Draco asked.
‘No, my dad is still renovating our house.’ Luna said.
‘And he didn’t want me to see it in this condition.’ Luna said.
Draco looked up at Luna.
‘So I’m staying at Hogwarts as well.’ Luna said smiling.
‘You’re too right, and so is Hermione.’ Luna said.
‘I know.’ Draco said smiling.
‘But I have to go now, have a nice day.’ Luna said and she walked away.

Hermione walked after dinner back to the Gryffindor common room, she had spent, after she had walked with Draco, almost the whole day in the library. When she climbed through the portrait after she said the password. Neville was sitting on the couch reading something.
‘Hee Neville.’ Hermione said smiling.
Neville looked up and sat up straight.
‘Oh hello Hermione, how are you?’ Neville asked carefully.
‘Oh I’m fine.’ Hermione said with a little smile.
‘I saw Malfoy ran after you.’ Neville said.
‘Did he bother you?’ Neville asked.
‘No, he helped me.’ Hermione said.
‘Really?’ Neville asked surprised.
‘Yes, he has changed a lot since…  you know.’ Hermione said.
‘Luna said that too.’ Neville said.
‘How are Luna and you?’ Hermione asked.
‘Great!’ Neville said smiling.
‘You like her a lot, don’t you?’ Hermione asked.
‘Yes, she’s everything for me.’ Neville said.
Hermione smiled.
‘I wish I had someone who thought about me like that.’ Hermione said.
‘It’ll come, I know it for sure.’ Neville said.
‘I’m going to bed, see you tomorrow.’ Hermione said smiling.
‘Good night.’ Neville said.
‘Good night.’ Hermione said and she walked up the stairs to her dormitory.
When she was in her room she went to bed. She thought of this morning, just like she did in the library. She thought about Draco, how he came after he, comforted her, hugged her and almost kissed her. Why? Why on earth would he do that?

Hermione was standing on the train station, she went with Ginny, Harry and Ron so she could say goodbye to them.
‘Are you sure?’ Harry asked.
‘Yeah I’m sure! Have fun all three of you.’ Hermione said smiling.
‘Give Molly, Arthur and George a hug for me.’ Hermione said.
‘If you don’t like it here you can always come over.’ Ginny said smiling and she gave Hermione a hug.
‘It’s okay.’ Hermione said and she gave Harry and Ron a hug.
‘We’re going to write you and sent you something for Christmas.’ Harry said.
‘I’ll write back.’ Hermione said.
The three went into the train and sat down in a cabin. The Hogwarts Express started to drive and Hermione waved at the three of them. When the train was out of side she walked back to the castle with Luna who had said goodbye to Neville. There weren’t a lot students left after the others left, going back to their home for Christmas.
‘How are you?’ Luna asked.
‘I’m fine.’ Hermione said.
‘What do you think about Draco?’ Luna asked.
‘What?’ Hermione asked.
‘I saw him storm out of the Great Hall when you ran away.’ Luna said smiling.
Hermione got butterflies in her stomach when she thought about it.
‘Oh that.’ Hermione said with a smile.
‘Look at you, your whole face lighted up.’ Luna said smiling.
‘What no.’ Hermione said blushing.
‘But you haven’t answered my question yet.’ Luna said.
‘Well, he’s really sweet.’ Hermione said.
She thought about him and recognized he was pretty handsome too.
‘And he’s good looking.’ Hermione added.
‘Do you like him?’ Luna asked.
‘What?’ Hermione asked.
‘You don’t have to answer my questions.’ Luna said smiling.
Hermione smiled. She hadn’t looked at Draco like that but now she thought of it, she liked him indeed.

Luna knew it but she just wanted Hermione to realise it, want her to find it out herself. She wasn’t going to say anything to Hermione because Draco had to take care of it. She would talk to him but further he had to do it. She knew he could it. He liked Hermione for such a long time. When Luna had found him in the hallway back in his fifth year, when he sat there with his face in his hands she had asked him what was wrong. He had told her everything, about his family and how he really felt about Hermione.

Hermione and Luna arrived back at the castle and went to the Library. They stayed there the whole day and read some books, studied and talked with each other.
‘Shall we go to Hogsmeade tomorrow?’ Hermione asked.
‘Yes, sure would be fun.’ Luna said smiling.
‘Okay shall we go to the Great Hall to eat some dinner?’ Hermione asked.
Luna nodded and after they had put their books back in the bookshelf they walked towards the Great Hall. When they came there, there was only one long table standing in the middle of the room.
‘Hello miss Granger and miss Lovegood.’ Professor McGonagall said smiling.
‘Come sit down. I thought it would be more fun if we all sat together on one table.’ She said.
Hermione and Luna smiled and sat down. After a minute Draco walked into the Great Hall. Hermione was talking with Luna and Draco sat down next to her.
‘Hi.’ Draco said smiling.
‘Hello Draco.’ Luna said.
‘Hee.’ Hermione said smiling.
‘What did you do all day?’ Draco asked.
‘We first went to say goodbye to Harry, Ron, Ginny and Neville and then went to the library.’ Hermione said.
‘You?’ She asked.
‘Didn’t do much actually.’ Draco said.
‘Draco would you like to join us tomorrow? We’re going to Hogsmeade.’ Luna asked.
‘Well if you don’t mind it.’ Draco said to Hermione.
‘Of course not.’ Hermione said smiling.
After they all finished dinner they stood up.
‘Good night.’ Professor McGonagall said smiling.
‘Good night.’ Hermione said and she walked with Luna and Draco away.
‘I’m going to the Ravenclaw common room now, I’ll see you two tomorrow with breakfast.’ Luna said smiling.
‘Okay, good night Luna.’ Hermione said smiling.
‘Good night.’ Draco said.
‘Sweet dreams.’ Luna said smiling before she walked away.
‘What are we going to do tomorrow in Hogsmeade?’ Draco asked.
‘Oh just drink some butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks and go to some shops.’ Hermione said.
‘Have you said goodbye to someone this morning?’ Hermione asked.
‘No.’ Draco said.
‘Not even Pansy?’ Hermione asked.
‘No I don’t like Pansy.’ Draco said laughing.
‘Who does?’ Hermione said laughing.
‘Indeed.’ Draco said smiling.
‘You helped me a lot after Pansy said those things you know.’ Hermione said blushing.
‘It’s okay.’ Draco said.
‘No it’s not, not everyone would of done what you did, I needed someone and you were there.’ Hermione said looking to the floor.
Draco smiled and felt happy.
‘Why weren’t you going home?’ Hermione asked.
‘I wanted to stay here.’ Draco said.
‘Why?’ Hermione asked.
‘Because.’ Draco said smiling.
Draco didn’t want to say that it was because Hermione stayed.
‘What are you going to do during the holiday?’ Draco asked.
‘Study. You?’ Hermione asked.
‘Relaxing. Trying to accomplish my dream.’ Draco said.
‘What is your dream?’ Hermione asked.
‘I’ll tell it later.’ Draco said smiling and he looked at Hermione.
‘Why not now?’ Hermione asked.
‘It’s not the right time.’ Draco said.
‘I’ll tell it when I accomplished it.’ Draco said.
They were now standing in front of the portrait of the fat lady.
‘I’ll see you tomorrow with breakfast.’ Hermione said smiling when she turned to Draco.
Hermione looked in Draco’s eyes, he had really pretty eyes. She had never noticed it before.
‘Okay sweet dreams.’ Draco said smiling.
‘Good night Draco.’ Hermione said smiling.
Draco watched Hermione walk through the portrait hole and then the portrait closed.
