Hermione Granger knew she was ruined

Draco's silver eyes bore holes into hers and even though they looked cold. Hermione could feel the heat on his eyes

Hermione felt her cells exploding with each blink

She didn't want to pull away

She couldn't pull away

Hermione knew that she was screwed

She had fallen for her best friend

At first she could kid herself with thinking that she only liked him

But the way he was looking at her

As if he was imagining a whole life with her...

Hermione knew she was in love with Draco Malfoy

And she wanted to tell him

She was going to tell him

"Draco..." she whispered

"Yes?" Draco whispered softly

"I—"

"Mister Malfoy, your Portkey will be leaving soon"

Draco pulled away and Hermione blushed with embarrassment

She saw how everyone was looking at them

Hermione realized that she was only wishing to see something

Draco was a flirt

He was a womanizer

He didn't do relationships

As he so often told her

Many reasons why witches shed tears for her friend

Why many have asked if she could help them out only to leave with their hearts broken

Draco doesn't do relationships

And Hermione began to worry that she fell prey as his next victim

But she had to keep reminding herself that Draco wouldn't do that to her

That the look in his eyes was genuine

He wouldn't play her like some common witch

He slid his hands off her hips and took her hands in his. He led them to the desk and took the Portkey's pocket and led her to the Departure section

His hand was still intertwined with hers

Hermione couldn't stop looking at their hands. How perfectly they mended with one another

Like two pieces of a very complicated puzzle finding their way home

They reached the Departure and Draco turned her back to him

"Ready?" He asked

She nodded mutely

He pulled out the Portkey and pulled her into his chest before winking

Hermione rolled her eyes at his behaviour

He chuckled and pulled her closer. Immediately the Portkey whisked them away and in a blink of an eye, they were back home

And back to their normal life

But Hermione knew that nothing about what she was going through in this moment was not normal

Because she knew what she needed to do

She needed to tell Draco that she was falling for him

Even if it ended with her heart broken. Which would be the most possible outcome that she knew
