Chapter 2

Listen to the song above when you read this chapter! :)

POV. Ron
I don't know what came over me.
I hit Hermione.
Why did I do that?

I heard Ginny yelling at me, but I was too lost in my thoughts.
I couldn't bear seeing Malfoy looking at Hermione with his dirty eyes.

All he did was hurt Hermione.
He always called her mudblood and belittled her.
He didn't deserve to even look at her!

I got so furious that I lost my senses and took it out on Hermione.
I shouldn't have done that. She didn't do anything wrong.
I feel like I'm a total ass. I am so stupid.

I walked out of the Gryffindor common room to look for Hermione, hoping against hope that she could forgive me.

POV. Hermione
Before I could finish my sentence, I felt Draco's lips on mine.
What just happened? Did Draco really kiss me?

I couldn't think straight anymore so I kissed him back.
After a few seconds he pulled away, looking shocked.
We both were quiet for a while but then Draco said

'What happened to you? And why are you here?'

'Ro- Ron hi- hit me.' I said with tears in my eyes.
I had a lump in my throat when I first said it out loud.

'He did what?!'
I looked at him, and he looked at me, annoyance but also concern visible in his eyes.
I didn't know why, but I couldn't look away from those eyes.

I stayed quiet, not knowing what to say.
Everything had happened so fast that I didn't even know what to think or how to act.
I just hoped that this all was a dream and I would wake up from it.

Suddenly, I felt Draco's arms around me. He hugged me.
It was like he knew how I felt and what I needed at that moment.
I couldn't move at all, I was completely numb.

'WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING HERE?!!'

Why did that voice sound so familiar?
Draco let go of me, and looked at the person whose voice I recognized.

'Weasel? How nice that you're here.'
Draco said with some annoyance in his voice.

I looked up.

'Wha- What are you doing here?' I said with a lump in my troat.

Suddenly, I felt a wave of fear.
I couldn't move my hands or feet.
My heart started beating faster and faster, and I was shaking.
I didn't know what to do.
I was scared that he would hit me again or worse.

"I came looking for you to apologize, but I see you're already with your new boyfriend!"

I could hardly speak.
But I pulled myself together and said

'He is NOT my boyfriend Ron!' 'And why should I forgive you?'
'You just HIT me!?'
