Forbidden Love [COMPLETED] (A Dramione Fanfic)

I LIKE YOU, I REALLY DO.

I  was lying in my four poster bed and replaying today’s events in my head. And I suddenly remembered about my father’s letter so I reached out in my pocket and found that the letter was still there .I didn’t want to check it but a thought circulated my brain, what if he was not okay;what if something terrible happened to him? I was about to read the letter, suddenly Blaise stopped me saying -
“I know somewhere in your heart you still love him as a father, hatred is a small thing in front of your love  but trust me he is only trying to manipulate you.He doesn’t deserve your affections.Please mate don’t make him manipulate you this time.”
“I know Blaise but what if he is not well?”
“You have a heart of gold, you know right?”
“I know. And you know that my father is my bogart and someday, somewhere I have to stop getting scared of him. I am ready to listen what he has to say.”
“I’m proud of you, Draco. You’ve really changed yourself. Go on and let me know what he wants.”
I nodded and opened the letter.It reads–
Mr. Malfoy
This Message is to let you know, that your father Mr. Lucius Malfoy has passed away today morning before his Interrogation session, he tried to attack one of our officers and was about to run. But his heart failed working and died on the spot. We’ve Buried his body in our burial grounds.
Regards,
Azkaban Prison Officials.

I was speechless.This was something I have never ecpected. He was known for his dark stuff, and died doing one, escaping the prison.I was not heartbroken. It’s just that I am more worried about my mother’s deteoriating health.
I crumbled up the paper and threw on the floor, Blaise asked–
“What’s wrong?”
“He died, he tried to escape and had a stroke. I need some fresh air.” I said and left.
I went to the Astronomy tower and saw the person I was wishing to see.My Princess, my Hermione. She was lost in her book. I let out a little sigh, and said–
“Found a secret place?”
She was shocked to see me there but replied quickly–
"Yeah I love the tranquil environment of this place . It’s so beautiful out here, the stars, the moon, everything.”
“ It is.. This is my favourite place too, I usually come here to relax and take in the amazing view".
“What’s stressing you out right now?” She asked putting her book aside.
“Err It’s probably nothing”
“Draco, you do know that you’re a bad liar right?” she continued “–is it about the letter which came earlier. Draco what is it?" She had a concerned look all over her face.
She was looking so adorable, her eyebrows all scrunched up.I couldn’t help but chuckle. I moved closer to her and sat right beside her.
“Well do you know that your worried face is too damn cute?”
“As a matter of fact, I do. Now don’t change the subject, tell me.”
“He died today.”I blurted out
“Your father? How?”
“Tried to escape but his heart failed working.”
“I’m so sorry to hear it Draco.How are you holding up?Have you talked to your mum yet?”
“I am alright, I’m kinda relieved that he’s gone.I know it is a bad thing that I not feeling heartbroken after my father’s death but I can’t help it.And about my mum;I haven’t yet talked to her neither has she sent me a letter or anything.But I will talk to her first in the morning.”
“I can understand,I hope that your mum doesn’t take the news badly but I can tell that there’s something else that’s bothering you.”
I gather all my courage and said the things that I longed to say to her.
“Yes there’s a thing that’s bothering me since the first time I insulted you;in our second year and I truly regret it--” I sighed and continued “I let my father control my entire life, he made me walk on the darkest roads. Hermione I’m truly sorry for all those mean memories and scars I gave you. I’m really sorry. Please forgive my deeds. I truly want to change and be a better person. And for that I need you.”
I said while looking directly into her eyes, remembering everything I’ve said and done to her.
She stayed silent, I thought she won’t forgive me, so I was about to get up and leave when suddenly I felt a gentle grip in my hand. She got up and I saw a tear dripping down her face I wiped the tear, and cupped her face in my hand and looked into her browny eyes and said–
“I promised myself that I won’t let a single tear of yours fall down, even it’s for me or anyone else. I want to be a better person and for that I need you to forgive me first and then I need you by my side.”
I poured my heart out.
She broke down and hugged me tight, Her teary face strained my shirt. I wrapped my hands in her waist and she was leaning in my arm.She felt so fragile that one wrong move and I’ll loose her forever.Moments passed before she replied, without breaking our contact –
“I’ve never said anything before, I have forgiven you a long time ago. It wasn’t your fault, it never was.”
I let out a sigh of relief. I was relieved to hear that she had forgiven me. I stroked her hair and said–
“Hermione, there’s also a thing that I wanted to say–
“I like you,I really like you Hermione. From the very first day. When I saw you for the first time; you were helping the round face Neville to find his toad.You were being bossy and cute as usual. I knew since then,that there was something unusual about you.I really admired you and your know-it-all attitude too.I was a coward for not confessing my feelings before.”

When I stopped talking more or less blabbering; she was staring into my eyes like she was reading my soul. Then she chuckled and kissed me on my cheeks and left. Without a single word she just left.And left me staring at her like a lost puppy.
I went back to my dorm room, confused and didn’t know what to make of her behaviour. As I entered my room I saw Blaise waiting for me.
“What took you so long?”
“Well I think you should sit down first, it’s gonna be a long story.”

I explained everything to Blaise, Hermione sitting there, our hug,my confession, her leaving, everything. At the end Blaise looked shocked and said–
“Wait wait wait....so she just kissed you and left? Without a word. I don’t get it.”
“Me either.”
“Mate are you sure it was Hermione or did you just hallucinated all of this? Maybe it was Filch whom you might have thought Hermione!”
“Shut up Blaise.  It’s no time for your lame and absurd jokes.”
“Just lightening the mood. You can go ask her about it.”
“Actually you’re right, tomorrow I’ll go straight to her to ask about her weird behavior. But until then I don’t think I can sleep. Would u like to stay up with me?” I asked.
"Nope; unlike you I have quidditch selections to attend. Now I’m going to bed and if you disturb me again, I swear on Merlin I’m gonna hex you."
“Goodnight to you too Pal” I chuckled.

The next morning after writing a letter to my mum,I went straight to the Great Hall.I saw that there weren’t many students in the Great hall so I waited outside. Blaise went inside and saved a place for us.
After few minutes Hermione came in, without any hesitation I grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to me. She didn’t show any sign of surprise on her face. I pinned her by the walls, I looked straight into her eyes and finally said–
“Are you going to ignore me now Granger?”
“Oh no, I’ll never Malfoy”
“Then why did you leave without any words last nighy?”
“You’ve to wait for that, besides I can’t just pour out all my feelings which I have kept inside of me for Seven and a half years so easily...can I?!.”
“So you wanna play the wait game now Granger?”
“I sure do.”
“Very well then you might get ready for your reply because it’s a hard work to stay away from me.” With that I gave her a chaste kiss on the side of her lips and left without a word,  just like she did. With a huge smile in my face.
