Guys this one's a bit angsty so sorry for the depressing vibes but it will get better ❤️‍🩹
Draco PoV:
I felt ragged after sleeping in the sofa away from Hermione. I wasn't going to beg for her forgiveness but neither was I going to let it eat at me. I waited for Blaise and requested that we eat breakfast together at the dining hall.
I hadn't really touched my food apart from some eggs and a coffee. My eyelids felt heavy so all black it was.
"What's wrong mate you look like shit,'you know if you need to talk-" I cut him off just saying it because I knew I would do it if I waited.
"Blaise did sorry not just fix everything when you were little?" I explained everything to him and he had listened, this is why he is my best friend. "Blaise if your mother get hit you wouldn't she just apologise and very thing was better, that's what my father did and my mother would also apologise for not coming defence. Isn't that how people apologise?"
Blaise's dad had apologised around a year and half ago a little before the war so I hang expected to hear his name. "No mate. They make it up to you people get angry with each other and in some cases, yeah a sorry does just work but sometimes you got to work for that forgiveness and just a sorry won't cut it. My father taught me that and he did stuck to that principle and that what made our relationship good and healthy." 
My parents and mines relationship wasn't good and even though my dads dead sometimes I do wish I could scream at him for all the times he yelled or hit me. I got up and gave Blaise a hug "Thank you, for never leaving me even though I never apologised to you after our years of friendship." I'll be honest tears were in my eyes but honestly get yourself a friend like Blaise.
I left and he joined Ginny and the rest of our dorm and I went to the shops. Sorry was just a five letter word.

Hermione PoV:
I woke up with his side cold from not being there the whole night. I had seen Ginny talking to everyone and wondered where he was. Turns out him and Blaise had went to breakfast with each other. I dragged Ginny along with me after we had breakfast and sat in the courtyard with her. We had free period in the morning on Fridays. I know it's a bit emotional of me but I did just hug Ginny and cry for a bit in her arms.
"Oh Hermione what's wrong, you can tell me anything you know that." It was true I did know that yet still it made me feel undeniably guilty.
"I kissed him Ginny." My voice was just filled with croaks and sobbing but she never judged me but comforted me. The cold November air stung at my cheeks but it never stopped me. I explained everything to her and she soothed me.
"Hermione you know it's okay and he apologised but it's perfectly fine not to forgive so easily all the time. Then people just walk all the fuck over you!"!I'll be honest it did make me a bit better when she yelled and her cheeks went pink from annoyance.
I released myself from her arms, wiped my tears and faced Ginny, her hands in mine. "Tell me about Blaise, what's he like? Do you think you're beginning to like him? What's happened so far?" To be honest I've felt so distant from Ginny these past few days and I missed her.
I could feel her pulse quicken then the she began to smirk. "He's really kind Hermione, I mean I've been so upset about Harry. I mean it's silly we broke up long ago but it doesn't make me happy seeing him with Pansy even though I am happy for her. Believe me."
I have her a nod to solace her.
"And he's been there to be here me up when I'm down and he's incredibly funny, not like dumb funny but witty funny. God he always makes me laugh the fool. And he's is so handsome, Merlin our children better look like him. He's just GORGEOUS and-"
"You look quite wonderful too Ginny." We both spun around to see a smiling Blaise. Ginny quickly rose crossing her arms.
"Why! How long have you been there!?" I think my heart might've melted at the sight of them and froze also slightly of how I longed there type of relationship as he grabbed her hand.
"That's a secret my little ginger ball." He kissed her nose and turned to me. " Hey Hermione, go easy on Draco trust me it's not easy for him to ever apologise. I mean it's was his first time doing it." And they walked away with Blaise's arm wrapped around Ginny into her pocket.

The school day had finally finished and was I relieved now it was the weekend. I hadn't seen Draco all day and it didn't help that we had no lessons together today but I would see him at dinner probably.
Yet I didn't, was he avoiding me? I walked to the dorm on my own and I thought about Ginny and Blaise the way they were getting on yet we weren't. I walked in our room to see him, and I did.
There he was standing in the centre of the room with a big bouquet and a...picnic basket. What was this? He gave me the flowers the white and red roses with some Lillies. God they were gorgeous.
"Will you come with me to the lake Hermione? I hope you're not too full from dinner." I hand tactually ate dinner because all I thought about was him but now he was here. My mind just felt blank.
"Of course...Draco." I quickly changed into a white dress about to pin up my hair knowing how much he hated it.
But he had stopped me pulling at a strand "Please leave it out if you want, I always liked it like that but of course if you-"
I cut him and let my hair run down my shoulders "I'm glad you like it that way."
And we walked to the black lake where the moonlight lit everything up and we sat and ate. He had sandwiches, muffins, cakes and whatnot.
"I'm sorry Hermione I hope you know that and I will work for your forgiveness for as long as needs be but I won't stop tryin-" I placed my hand on his stoping him from taking.
"I forgive you." He smiled at me and got a little box out from his inside pocket. He opened the little red velvet box.
"It's for you, I know you liked pearls because I've seen you always wearing those petal drop earring so I bought you a necklace."
I was stunning a simple singular pear on the chain of gold. It was stunning, it must've cost a fortune but I did love pearls. I couldn't stop myself and gave him a hug.
"Please put it on me Draco." I was unsure if he had heard me as I half muffled into his chest but he had.
"Turn around then." And I did. My back faced him as I brushed my hair away from my neck and held it at the top while he put it around my neck and secured the chin in the clasp.
"How does it look?" I could feel myself smiling and he gave me a smile back.
"Wonderful." I felt my heart warm and feel fuzzy. "You look beautiful, I hope you know that Hermione." Ok now I think my heart might just jump out and scream.
We walked back together and I felt kinda shy for once in my life and that's when he grabbed my hand and I gripped it back.
We finally got to our room, changed and laid in bed. "Did you enjoy it?" I turned around to face him before placing a kiss on his cheek. He blushed as I turned around and the last thing I heard was a shy whisper of a "wow."
