Our Scars - A Draco And Hermione Story

Chapter 5

Draco -

A few days after I engraved the ring, Hermione, Ginny, and I were eating breakfast. Headmistress McGonagall had an announcement "Good morning everyone! I would like to announce that we will be having a ball this Saturday, so please dress accordingly and have fun!"

I looked over at the excited Ginny and Hermione. They were already talking about going to Hogsmeade for dress shopping.

...

That night, Hermione was reading by the fire and I was secretly sketching her. "So, did anyone ask you to the dance yet?" I asked akwardly. "Well, no, but hopefully someone will soon." She said, never lifting her head up. She was blushing.

I admired her features as I drew her. The way her hair fell on her shoulders, and how her face looked so focused.

It really doesn't get any better than this.

"Would you maybe want to go with me?" I asked. Hermione looked up at me and met my eyes. Grey staring at brown.

"Yeah, of course!" She said with a smile.

...

She fell asleep in the chair, so I carefully picked her up and placed her on her bed. Our height difference made it really easy for me to carry her. We were a whole 7 inches apart. Hermione liked to say "It's only 6 and a half!"

I fell asleep easily, and dreamt of her.

We were in a meadow. We were laying down in the grass. Having a picnic I believe. We were just talking. It was such a lovely picture. I never wanted it to end, but unfortunately, it did, and I had to face reality.

Hermione -

The last thing I remember was reading in my chair, and somehow I ended up in my bed. Draco. I got dressed and woke him up. "Draco? Time for breakfast!" I said as I ruffled his platinum blonde hair. He rolled over and mumbled "Fine."

I blushed at his sexy "just woke up voice". I went out to get common room and waited for him. When he was ready, we walked to the Great Hall together.

As we ate, the owls started to fly in. "Mione! Harry and Ron sent me a letter!" Ginny exclaimed as she proceeded to read it out loud.

Dear Ginny and Hermione,

We heard about the ball coming up and wanted to attend. We talked with Headmistress McGonagall and she said it was okay. We are both so excited to see you soon.

Love from,

Harry and Ron

"Won't that be so fun?!" Ginny said as she sighed dreamily. Probably thinking of Harry. I on the other hand was not excited. When Ronald and I kissed, I assumed it was just from the emotional things going on, but he took it as something more. We dated for a bit, but I broke up with him. I couldn't help but feel like I was kissing my brother and not my boyfriend. He took it okay, but things were never the same afterwards.

"Are you okay Hermione?" Draco asked as he put a hand on my shoulder. Fireworks again.  "Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.
