unexpected

chapter 2

HELLO ITS BEEN A WHILE BUT IM BACK !!!

~narrator pov~

as Hermione stepped foot into the manor all that came to her head was her screams and pleads from that horrific night. she starts to feel goosebumps and takes a deep breath, not seeing where she's going Hermione accidentally bumps into Draco and slightly jumps. Draco quickly grabs the forearms gently as they both make eye contact. he sees her eyes watering up and then realizes exactly what's happening. Draco clears his throat and lets go of her while breaking eye contact. 

"mother do you mind showing ms.granger around, I have a couple things to get done right now." says Draco.

~Draco pov~

he quickly walks away not letting Narcissa say a word and walks up the steps to his office. swiftly making it into his office he closes the door behind him and takes a deep breath, unbuttoning his sleeves and sitting on the chair he runs his fingers through his hair and starts to remember one of his worse nights.

~Draco pov day of the war~

there she was lying on the cold marble manor floors. as much as I hated to think about it I wanted to help her. I know I couldn't, I would be betraying the dark lord and most importantly my family. her screams cling in my head as my father looks over at me and I keep a straight face.

~Hermiones pov~

trying to compose myself I look around avoiding the one room. Narcissa shows me around and begins to talk. all I hear is echoes in my head, no train of thought. it was weird the interaction between me and Draco. we looked into each others eyes and it felt safe. no what am I thinking he's one of the worse people to exist. now that I think about it so is Ron. we had broken up a while ago, everything started to change. he wasn't the Ron of Hogwarts. something changed him or shall I say someone. 

"well ms.granger this is the library which I've heard from my son that it is your favorite place to be" narcissa smiles.

"yes it very much is" Hermiones slightly raises her eyebrow not making it obvious wondering why Draco said that, not even that. the fact that he mentioned her or even thought about her.

meanwhile Draco was upstairs "doing work" he decided to go meet up with the ladies and headed downstairs to look for them. as he made his way down the steps all he remembers is holding Hermione. the way her delicate skin felt like silk and her honey brown eyes glistening. 

Draco pov

I can't feel this way about her, its wrong in so many ways but I can't help it. sometimes I laugh at myself because of this facade I hold only when it comes to her. oh but the way she makes me feel. I hate her so much...no I don't.

a little while later Draco had pulled Hermione aside to discuss. she had been so into the books Draco had to practically drag her out.

"hold on I saw another one-" she said as Draco blocked the doorway. "come on granger don't be stubborn. she rolls her eyes at him. "okay well then say what you need to say" she crosses her arms and looks up at him. "so I was thinking it would be best if you stayed here at the manor as in I give you a room" says Draco as Hermione furrows her eyebrows "oh..well im not completely sure that I can I mean I do have my own place I am capable of waking up early to come here" Draco looks away "right well then let me know if you change your mind" Hermione listens and nods her head "well then I should be heading out now its getting quite late and I have to meet up with someone and don't want to leave them standing" Hermione had no idea why she was telling him all of this when in fact she wasn't meeting up with anyone and it was afternoon. "well then enjoy the rest of your morning ms.granger" Draco held back his laugh as Hermione made her way out of the manor completely embarrassed. he walks to the door seeing her walk out "oh and hope that little meeting with someone goes great" 

Hermione quickly drives off to her place and gets a buzz from her phone seeing the caller. "what does he want now" she sighs and answers. "yes Ronald?"

"where are you?? I've been looking for you all morning" she keeps quiet and takes a deep breath "I was at the Malfoy manor not that its any of your concern..not anymore" she whispered that last part. "now what the bloody hell are you doing at the malfoy's?" Ron practically screamed through the phone. "none of your business, now hang up im driving and I do not want to crash, see you in a bit" she quickly hangs up and sighs.

~a bit later~

Hermione pulls into her driveway as she turns off the car and sees Ron waiting by the porch light. Ron looks over and makes his way to her. "what were you doing over there at that manor do you not understand how dangerous those people are" says Ron. "what are you even doing here? last time I checked you left" she walks to her door and unlocks it as she walks in. "I miss you mione and I messed up" he reaches for her arm and she quickly pulls away "no, you left clearly for something or should I say someone" she walks to the kitchen "that was nothing I promise, but clearly you're too busy with Malfoy now" she rolls her eyes "oh god Ron here you go again, im babysitting his child not sleeping with the man honestly just leave cause I don't think you should be accusing me of being with someone". "right I see how it is, just throw everything of ours away" he grabs his keys and walks out of the house. Hermione gasps slightly as she falls to the floor and tears roll down her cheeks quickly wiping them with her sleeve. she grabs her phone and dials "so about that room"
