Always

Chapter 9

Hermione
Hours after Malfoy coming to my aid, I'm still pondering what made him come. Maybe he was tired of watching over Rosie and Hugo? Maybe he was genuinely concerned for my well being? I laugh to myself at the lays possibility. Draco Malfoy, caring for me, Hermione Granger? HA!
I think back to our conversation as we were walking back to his house so my kids could collect their belongings.
' Are you okay?' He asked me with true concern in his eyes. But then again after being a Death-Eater and helping the Dark Lord, he must be a pretty good actor. Though, as a girl, I couldn't help but be swooned by his concern for me, even if I was doubting if it was true. I remember nodding my head yes while furiously blushing for no apparent reason. I groan internally recalling that moment. My memories are interrupted by Hugo who informs me that it's supper time. I smile as I push myself off the couch and head to the kitchen. I begin to beat the eggs when my vision gets blurry with tears. I recall being put into a petrified state, which takes a few minutes before the person loses all feeling, and Ron pulling me into the dining room, not caring what I hit on the way. I wince at the memory of hitting walls, chairs, ledges, and anything else on the way. After I was set down on the dark purple carpet, Ronald gave me one hard punch on the jaw and I hear him whisper.' You can't take the money because if you're left with nothing, the kids will choose me over you.'. After a few seconds of pain after the punch and what he said, my body goes numb and my vision blurs so bad that I can't see anything. I don't know how long I was there but the first thing I saw when I woke was a pair of brilliant grey eyes, full of concern and worry, looking down at me. My thoughts trail away from pain and towards heart warming memories, like Malfoy holding be as I sobbed until I didn't have tears left. Harry and Ginny sending an owl to me as soon as I got home, asking if I'm okay and if I wanted them to come over. Then back to Malfoy. Gosh, why does he have to be so attractive, with his bleach blonde hair and his piercing grey eyes, and the way he talks, gosh. I still can't figure out why Draco came for me. Wait...... Did I just refer to him by his first name? What is going on with me!? Maybe I want to be friends... Or maybe something more.... No that's absurd. Friends is already pushing it, anyway he probably doesn't even want that.
