Eye to Eye: A Dramione Fanfic

Chapter 6

Draco looked at his silver wrist watch and sighed. "You know what. It'll have to wait, I have to go. See you later."

He kissed Hermione's cheek and walked off.

Ginny looked at her best friend in shock. "Well you could've told me!"

"Told you what?"

"About that!"

"Oh that!" Hermione laughed, causing Ronald to clench his fists in anger. "That was nothing."

"Nothing compared to what? Snogging him in the corridors last night!" Ron shouted.

Hermione fell silent. He saw that? She didn't know what to say! Instead, she stood up and walked back into the school, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall down her rosy cheeks.

That night Hermione couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about the way Draco tried to apologise to her, or about how Ron yelled at her for even considering forgiving Draco. Eventually, she gave up trying to force herself asleep and logged onto the chatroom.

Draco: Anyone there?

Hermione Granger signed in.

Hermione: Hey Draco

Draco: How are you?

Hermione: I would be great, if I could actually sleep.

Draco: It's the same my end too.

Hermione: Draco, about that little thing by the lake today.

Draco: I know I was pushing it, trying to apologise while you were with your friends, but it wasn't that bad! Sure kissing your cheek was too far I know that! But the rest of it?

Hermione: I'm not mad, just please don't do it again. Ginny is convinced that we're dating!

Draco: It's not a bad thing!

Hermione: Not funny! Are you off to the ball?

Draco: Perhaps. What's it to you, Granger?

Hermione: Just wondering Malfoy

Ginny Weasley signed in.

Ginny: Do you mind! I'm trying to sleep and all I can hear are the notifications on my laptop going off like crazy!

Hermione: Gin you're not even asleep!

Ginny: Well I could've been.

Draco: Hello? I am still here you know!

Ginny: Malfoy since Mione keeps lying to me. Perhaps you can tell me something.

Draco: Hermione?

Hermione: Honestly, Ginny! Nothing is going on!

Ginny: Lies! 'Tis all lies!

Draco: Fire away, Ginevera!

Ginny: I will ignore the fact you just called me that and ask you my question: Are you and Hermione dating?

Draco: Jesus Christ! I thought you were joking!

Hermione: No I was being serious! And here's the proof.

Draco: What are you doing for the ball then, Granger?

Hermione: If I tell you, then I'd have to kill you!

Draco: Oh please! You wouldn't hurt a fly!

Hermione: Need I remind you that I fought in a war, Draco Malfoy!

Draco: As did I! But you didn't kill anyone purposely.

Hermione: Likewise!

Ginny: You guys are so cute!

Hermione: Ginny. Go. To. Bed.

Ginny: I bet tomorrow you guys will be kissing! Malfoy?

Draco: Weasley.

Ginny: Do you love Hermione?

Hermione: Ginny!

Ginny: Well? Do you?

Draco: Night girls!

Draco Malfoy signed out.

Ginny: Well that happened.

Hermione: I can't believe you!

Ginny: What? All I did was ask him if he liked you!

Hermione: Exactly! You can't just ask him that!

Ginny: Why not?

Hermione: Because... That's like me asking Harry if he loves you!

Ginny: But Harry doesn't love me - he likes me.

Hermione: Sure...

Ginny: What? What is it?

Hermione: Nothing, Gin.

Ginny: Please bare in mind that my bed is next to yours, which makes it easier for me to tackle you!

Hermione: Once again - Sure...

Hermione Granger signed out.

That night as the Gryfindor Princess was about to shut off her laptop, she received and e-mail from Draco.

From: Draco Malfoy

So what are you doing for the ball? Do you have plans?

She smiled as she read it. She never knew he cared so much. Instead of replying she simply ignored the e-mail just to torment him. After all, she didn't want him to know what she was planning on doing.
