I'm (Not) Yours

(33)

A few hours earlier

Draco was nervous. Not because tonight was going to be the last night that she was going to be in the same time zone as Hermione

Because he was going to tell her that he wanted to go with her

That he wanted to move across the country to be with her

But he worried about how she was going to react. It could go one of two ways; Hermione agrees eagerly and they officially move in together

Or she tells him to get help because he had officially lost his mind

Either or...

Draco was going to go with her

Because he was so in love with her that he couldn't even imagine his life without her

Even if it was only for a year

Draco took a deep breath as he fixed up his suit. His father may not have been the best father, but one lesson that Draco will take to the grave would be to dress nice even if it's not required

"Because a respectable man is the one who doesn't look like a slob"

Draco finished up with his routine and walked out of his room. He saw Theo and Blaise spawned over in his living room, already making themselves welcomed to the wet bar

Theo whistled as he looked at Draco. The blond wizard rolled his eyes at his friend's idiotic behaviour

"What so dressed up?" Blaise smirked "we're just bar hopping"

"Well...tonight is going to be different for Granger and I...and for all of us..."

"You're asking her to marry you!"

"No!" Draco exclaimed, turning back to Theo who had his hands up in victory "we're not there yet...I'm going to tell her that I'm going to be moving to Romania..."

"WHAT?!"

Theo and Blaise shot up, they gawked at their blond friend who was blushing like crazy

"This—you—so—wow..."

Theo let out a breath

"So...she's the one mate?" Blaise smiled softly

They knew what this meant for Draco. Where once upon a time the blond had said that he never wanted to marry in order to never have a relationship like his parents was now talking about uprooting his life for a witch that he had once despised

"Yes..." Draco trailed off  "she's the one"

Theo and Blaise whooped, they patted Draco on the back before hugging him tightly

Three wizards who had not grown up with love

Had found the family that they needed within one another

"I call best man!"

"No it's mine!"

"Sure Theodore"

"Screw your Blaise"

Draco rolled his eyes at their antics

He'll keep it to himself for the time being that they would both be his best men

After he proposed to Hermione

And after she said yes...

Hopefully

The four wizards stepped through the green flames and joined the rest of the group in Hermione's flat

Hermione Granger! Get your arse out here! We're going to go get wasted before you leave us!" Ginny yelled

Draco chuckled at the red hair witch

Hermione entered the living room with a smile on her face. It was as if his body was put under a spell as he quickly made his way up to her and dropped a kiss on her plum lips

He could hear his idiotic male friends gagging while his idiotic female friends all squealed in delight

When he pulled back. Hermione was looking lovingly at him

He didn't know how he got so lucky

But he thanked the gods above for giving him a second chance

And Draco soon hoped that when Hermione took her Portkey...

He would be beside her

...

Present time

Seeing her heart breaking through her brown eyes was a punch to the gut

This night wasn't supposed to have gone this way

"Get off me!" Hermione yelled, she finally managed to free herself from his grasp

"Draco" Daphne Greengrass whined

Draco was absolutely fuming

But he would take care of her later. He needed Hermione to understand that this wasn't what it looked like

"Hermione please—" Draco whispered desperately

"I trusted you!" Hermione sobbed "I loved you! And you—you—you foul man! Playing with girls hearts and then breaking them when it gets too serious! I thought I was different! I thought you loved me! What?! Did you only play me so that you can get into my pants?! Screw you! Screw you! I hate you! I HATE YOU!"

Hermione ran into the fireplace before Draco could grab her hand and try to explain it

This wasn't right

He felt Daphne wrap her arms around his torso and aggressively shoved her off. He turned to glare at her and she rolled her eyes

"Are you serious Draco? She's nothing but a mudblood—"

Draco didn't know what came over him

But next thing he knew. Daphne was pinned to the wall and he was glaring at her with a look that should have killed her

"You will not disrespect my girlfriend, do you understand?" He seethed "I don't know what the bloody hell was going through your thick skull when you pulled that prank? Were you drunk? Or were you just trying to trick me into letting you in?"

She pouted

"Come on baby, don't you remember those great memories we made in the Slytherin Dorms?" She smiled coyly "we can—"

"Answer me"

She scoffed and rolled her eyes

"No, I wasn't drunk, I'm just a good actress, and I needed you to forget about that mudblood, you're supposed to be with me Draco! Not Astoria! Not that whore! Me! Everyone is trying to take you from me! Come on baby, don't you remember how good it felt when our bodies pressed—"

Draco pushed off her

"You're crazy" he said coldly "you just ruined my life! Just so that you could get into the Malfoy Vaults! I don't belong to you! I don't belong to Tory! I belong to Hermione! You you just drove the one good thing from my life for your own selfish needs!"

He summoned a shirt that didn't have wine stains from where Daphne had 'accidentally' spilled and tricked him to get out of his shirt only to try to jump him

He frantically put it on and disapperated with a angry snap

He landed outside Hermione's flat and knocked violently

"Hermione?! Hermione?! Hermione?! Darling please open the door! I-I-I can explain—it's not how it looks like—I-I love you! Sweetheart please...please open the door and talk to me...please honey open the door..."

The door opened and Draco was relieved. But his relief was cut short when he saw an elf looking up at him with confusion written on his face

"Where's Hermione?" Draco croaked

"Miss Granger has left for the Reserve, Cooper is here to pack what is left of Miss Granger, who are you?"

He slid down the wall behind him

He couldn't have lost her...

Not when he just had her
