A twist of fate

Chapter 5 - The way it happened.

    The days carried on like normal for me and Hermione as if the kiss had never happened.  I couldn’t get over the rush and the magic that was there and a wand was not used. Who would have known that you don’t need a wand to start a spark? I loved Hermione I was sure of that but she was still with Ron, the weasel who didn’t even deserve Hermione because he was a complete ass.

   I was lost in thought about the magical kiss me and Hermione had shared. Walking up to the head-boy and head-girls common room after helping a first year with a little problem he had I couldn’t stop my mind from drifting to that magical moment me and Hermione had shared and then pretended didn’t happen. I was almost so lost in thought that I didn’t hear the shouting coming from the common room.

    “You can’t do this; this is my life you can’t just take over it!” I recognised this voice instantly. “Really, Hermione you are nothing without me. Draco is scum, nothing you should get involved with!” This voice I also recognised and wished I didn’t. “Draco isn’t scum, he is a friend. I am something without you… I am me. You don’t own me. Stop trying to control my life!”

“You don’t get it do you? Draco will use you, he will make you feel so small and crush you. I’m here to protect you. I am your boyfriend after all.”

“A true boyfriend would never treat me like this. I don’t want to talk to you, get out of my room.”

“That’s it, you have done it now. We are threw you hear me. O…..V…..E…..R…..OVER!!!!!”

     I heard a deathly scream and knew instantly whose it was and where it came from. Rushing through the portrait hole to mine and Hermione’s common room I saw her and Ron arguing; also I saw his wand pointing straight at her chest where blood was coming from. I instantly recognised the spell he had used. I stuck to the shadows waiting for the argument to stop and Weasel to leave the room:

    “How could you Ronald, I never did anything wrong. It’s not like I get a choice if I stay here all year or not is it??” Hermione’s voice started to crack as floods of tears came streaming down her face. “Listen here Hermione, I will give you until tomorrow to give up being head-girl or it will officially be over! It’s your decision!!” He bent down near Hermione’s severely bleeding body, reached up his filthy hand and smacked Hermione clean round the face. I wanted to go over and hex weasel into a pulp. Smacking Hermione? I don’t know how he could do it. She is the kindest, smartest, bravest Gryffindor I ever meet. I didn’t understand why I was so angry for her; she is my enemy after all, but I also kissed her and love her deeply. The next minute I knew Ron stormed out of the room ruining my train of thoughts. All that is left in the room is a very distraught, devastated, heartbroken Hermione who is bleeding severely.

     I slowly but hastily walked over to where she was lying curled up on the floor. Kneeling down next to her I realised she had dark black rims round her eyes. “Hermione?” I asked her in the most sincere tone I have ever come out with.  “Hermione? What happened?? I hate seeing you cry, what’s happened??” I saw her eyes start to flutter open and heard her moan in pain that was when I realised he had severely hurt her. “Draco, is that you?? It hurts help me please!!” The tears slowly started to fall again. I managed to get her onto her bed and remove the clothing where the bleeding was. Remembering the spell Professor Snape taught me in my 6th year after Potter attacked me; I recited the spell while moving my wand above each and every wound. “Hermione it is me Draco, please tell me what happened.”

“He thinks that because I am head-girl I will have no-time for him, but I said I would make time for him but he didn’t seem convinced, he hurt me. Draco he broke up with me and there is nothing I can do.”

      That night I realised two things. One I was always going to be there for Hermione, I was the one that will from now on be someone to protect and cherish Hermione not hurt her, and two I was in love with her. I wanted to come back to the common room every evening and be the one to hold her.

     When Hermione woke up the next day, I took her down to breakfast and walked her back to our common room; it was a Saturday so we didn’t have any lessons.  Going into our own little kitchen to make me and Hermione a cup of tea I heard her sobs start again. I couldn’t help feel anger towards Ron after everything she gave up for him, and finally she had reached her goal of being at Hogwarts by becoming head-girl he wasn’t happy and wanted her to give it all up to make him better and her nothing.

     I came back in to where I had left her sitting next to the fire; she had tears sliding down her pinkie cheeks. I walked over to her and setting the cups down on the coffee table in front of us, I took one more look at her teary yet glistening eyes and finally plucked up the courage to ask her the question I really wanted too since year three, since the day I really saw her stand up against me. “Hermione I have a question I really want to ask you. Will you honestly answer it truthfully?”

“Of course I will answer it truthfully. Thank you Draco! Thank you for everything!” I heard the gentle tone that I loved so much in her voice. “It’s okay I’m always here for you. Erm….What I’m trying to ask you is……Would you like to go out with me? You don’t have too but, what I mean is…..I really like you and I was just wondering if you would like to give us a go?” I tried to get a glimpse of her face but she turned away and started whispering to herself. The next minute I know her arms wrapped around my neck. “I would love to give us a go, I really like you too Draco. I wanted to tell you but Ron made me swear I would forget about it and made me swear never to mention your name again. Ron forced me to go out with him and then I thought I really did like him, now he has broken my heart. I have always liked you Draco, honest!” I didn’t know what I was to expect. I slowly leant in a brushed my lips across hers and then I planted my lips firmly but passionately on hers.  Suddenly she pulled away. “We have to go down for dinner before people realise we haven’t turned up.”

     We both got up of the floor and proceeded down the staircases to the main hall, I was so nervous but I knew I couldn’t show it. I felt Draco’s breath on my neck, “it will be okay, we will tell people when we are ready okay.” With those words said I walked swiftly over to the Gryffindor table and took a seat next to Ginny. Every now and then I couldn’t help but sneak glances up at Draco, but every time I did Ron’s eyes would glare at me. Suddenly losing my appetite I bided my goodnights to everyone deliberately ignoring Ron and hastily walked out of the great hall and up to mine and Draco’s common room.

     I sat there gazing into the fire and wondering what to do, I didn’t notice Draco’s entrance, and also I didn’t notice him sneaking up behind me. His arms snaked around me from behind making me snap back to reality, but not for long because I got lost in his touch; his fingertips drew patterns down my neck until his lips followed the patterns. Slowly tilting my head I found his lips and all my worries seemed to melt away into nothingness. Draco came and sat right next to me on the sofa and pulled me onto his lap, before I knew it his lips found mine and we were kissing in a way that was passionate for two students that were supposed to be enemies.

      Although I and Ron had only just broke up I couldn’t help but have a feeling that me and Draco were meant to be together. I and Ron were the not the golden couple everyone wanted us to be, we were two separate, different people who hated each other after everything we had been through. I personally think that me and Draco are the perfect golden couple but I don’t know what people’s reactions are going to be. I am not ready to tell people and to be honest I don’t know when I will be ready to tell people that me and Draco are dating. So many questions are floating around my mind causing me to worry even more;

What if people say things?

What if my friends disagree with this?

What if me and Draco can’t be head-boy and head-girl?

What’s it going to be like when people find out?

Are they going to except us being together?

    I was so panicked that I could barely sleep at all that night, luckily the next day was a Sunday so I could spend all day reading and finishing off any homework. I was still really nervous about the situation.
