Chapter 4; Falling Heart

Hermione's POV

I felt the sun shining in on my face through the crack in the curtains. I opened my eyes just a peep and saw the specks of dust dancing beautifully around in the rays of light. I smelt pancakes being cooked down stairs, and noticed how dry my mouth was. It was a fresh spring morning, and there was a slight chill in the air. I got up and went down stairs, feeling well rested and relaxed. I saw a jumper of Harry's hanging on the banister, feeling cold I through it on knowing he wouldn't mind.

Walking into the kitchen I was welcomed with the waft of freshly brewed coffee and pancakes with fresh fruit. "Good morning Hermione. Hope you spelt well?" I was greeted by Harry who had looked up from his Daily Prophet. He eyed my jumper and chuckled before looking back down at his paper.

"I slept very well thank you! And you?" I smiled loving the fact of being with my friends on this fresh spring morning.

"Not to bad" he smiled cheekily an winked at Ginny, who giggled and continued pouring coffee into mugs.

"Oh by the way a letter just came from Kingsley. He wants to see you, myself and Draco Malfoy in his office as soon as we get in this morning", I nearly choked on pancake when he said Draco. I had forgotten about him, and now hearing his name made my heart go into a frenzy of panic. If this was my reaction to his name what will I be like later in Kingsley's office!?

I pulled myself together remembering Harry didn't know what had gone on with Draco in Ireland. I saw Ginny smile at me sympathetically. "Oh, and did he mention why?" I looked at Harry who was considering my reaction with those piercing green eyes.

"No not really. Something about needing to talk to us about a new case, that's all", he shrugged it off not really thinking about it to much. Harry was patient and knew he would find out what was going on with this new case, and more importantly the story behind my reaction to Draco Malfoy's name.

I finished quickly, thanked Ginny and went up stairs to get changed for work. Once I was ready I made my way downstairs. I saw Ginny kissing Harry, with Harry's hand over her stomach. They were so happy, and it made me smile. They totally were in love, but would I ever feel like that with someone, get married and have babies with them. Thinking this, he popped into my head. Draco Malfoy.

When we reached the Ministry we headed straight for the Minister's office. We just guessed Draco would meet us up there. My palms were beginning to clam up with sweat. I felt like just turning around and bolting out the door! What if he rejected me? The more I thought of him the more I wanted to be with him, holding my hand making me feel safe again. But how was I going to tell him, maybe I should show him like Ginny suggested... Hehe I have a plan.

We entered Kingsley's office. "Ah Harry, Hermione, how are you both?" he greeted us smiling and putting his arms in an open gester. "All fine thank you Minister" Harry answered quiet politely.

"Now Harry you know to call me Kingsley, like all my friends" he replied looking at me also. I looked down shyly at my feet. That's when there was a quick knock at the door and in he walked. His platinum blond hair fell effortlessly over his forehead, he had his Malfoy smirk in place and his eyes glistened like diamonds in the sun. Oh he was certainly sexy. I could feel and hear my heart thump against my chest, it's noise surely reaching the ears of those in the room.

"Ah Mr. Malfoy how good of you to join us!" Kingsley's warm welcome to Draco made me jump out of my own little world. "Thank you Minister, so what's this all about?" his smile beaming toward Kingsley nearly stopped my heart.
