Dramione-A forbidden Love

Chapter eleven

Hermione's POV

I looked at draco. I couldn't believe what he just said. "What did you call me?" I whispered stunned. Draco looked shocked, his eyes begged my pardon. I shook slowly my head. I was like in trance. In this moment Ron shouted: "Eat slugs, Malfoy!" The next thing I remembered was that we were at Hagrid's and Ron was vomiting slugs. Mudblood! Draco Malfoy, my first and temporary only friend I ever had, called me a mudblood. Why did he do that? Hagrid looked at me with his friendly eyes. "Don't worry, Mione.", he said. "And don't think about it too much. Malfoy's not worth it and you are the most talented witch I have ever seen in my life. Much more talented than Malfoy!" I smiled weakly. They didn't, no they couldn't understand why I was so upset. It wasn't just the word. If course, it was also the word, but to be hones, I already wondered when it would be said the first time. But I never imagined that it would be draco, who would said it. I thought it would be Goyle, or Zabini, or maybe Pansy Parkinson. But Draco? I was shocked; I couldn't stop thinking about it. Like I was I  trance I walked with Harry and Ron back to the castle. Fortunately, Harry was too much distracted with Ron coughing slugs to pay much attention at me. However, I think he might notice that I was not only shocked because of the insult. I really need to speak to Draco that was sure.

Draco's POV

I ran into my dormitory just after Quidditch practice and threw myself on my bed and closed my eyes. I couldn't believe what I just said! What on earth is wrong with me? I insulted my best friend, with the worst word which is possible. Mudblood! Yeah, I know I use this word but since I knew  Hermione I only used it in front of Pansy or Goyle. So that they aren't suspicious. I couldn't believe I actually said it to Hermione. I will never forgive her shocked look. Like I punched her in the face and laughed. I groaned. Will she ever forgive me? Well, at least pansy or the others can't say I betray my father's honours or something like that, I thought deadpan. And just like my thoughts conjured him, Blaise stood in front I me. "Did you see hee face?" he asked and laughed. "That was great, Draco!" I smiled weakly.  Hearing something like this was really the last thing I wanted to hear. "Yeah, thanks Blaise." I said. "Sorry, I really need to go to..." I made an indefinite gesture with my hand and hurried out of the dormitory. I really needed to to find Hermione. But how much luck did I need so that she will just show herself alone so that we could talk? I snuffled.  However, I had luck. Hermione was at the first place I looked at: the library. Behind a walk of books she wrote fastly sentence after sentence at an already finished homework. Bad sign. "Hermione?" I askes carefully. No reaction. Would've been too easy. "Hermione, please listen to me." I plead. Still no reaction. "Look, Hermione, I'm sorry, really sorry. I don't know why I said that word! I didn't want that! I don't want to lose you, please you are my only real friend! You may pass my friendship, you have Potter and the weasel, but I have no real friend!" I almost cried. At least she looked up. I was terrified because of her sad look. "I don't want to lose you either, Draco. Even if I have other friends." I smiled weakly. "But do you know what's the hardest part?" she asked. I shook my head. "That it was you,who said that word. It wasn't the word, I had counted with the moment when somebody will call me that. But I never thought that it will be you, Draco." Now she really cried. I was shocked. "Hermione ..." insaid quietly. "I will never say it again, I swear." She nodded. "I believe you." she said. I smiled relieved. She smiled back and took my hand.
