Dramione-A forbidden Love

Chapter 15

Draco's POV

Today was the first lesson of Care of magical Creatures with this oaf Hagrid. I really couldn't understand why Hermione liked that guy. Why was she friends with him? But she was also friend with the Weasel, so why was I still asking? When it was time to go, Crabbe, Goyle and I made our way to the Forbidden Forest. In front of us walked Hermione with Potter and Weasley. I sighted. I really wanted to walk with Hermione, too. Sometimes I really thought much about Hermione, which was really strange. I tried to banish that thought. Hermione must be safe, that was all that matters. I went faster, so that I could pass the three. "Hey, Potter! Did you only take this class to get a good mark? You know because you know Hagrid?" I shouted. Potter ignored me, but I swore I saw Hermione smiling. Only for a very short time and I knew that she would never admit that to me, but she smiled. That was the important thing, because it made me so happy, I had no idea why. "Oy, Malfoy," Weasley shouted suddenly. I looked at him with an annoyed look. "What?" I asked. "Watch out for the big dangerous animals in the forest. They may want to hurt you." "Yeah, remember first year." Potter added with a dry smile.  "Really?" I answered. "You didn't seem that confident either that night. Weasley, I remembered that you screamed a lot, too." Not with me, I thought. One last eye-contact, and Crabbe, Goyle and I hurried to Hagrid's hut.

A hippogriff. That was the first animal Hagrid showed us?  Didn't he knew that they were extremely dangerous? I tried not to show my worry. To be honest, I would be the last one who would be sad if Hagrid would be fired, but I knew Hermione cared about him. So I watched closely how Potter- why always Potter? It was getting annoying.- did best in the task. So I didn't regret how I treated him shortly before the class started with the dementors. Although Hermione didn't seem so happy. But I had to stop to think always about what Hermione thought. Potter and Weasley were jerks and I didn't know a reason why I shouldn't tease with them a bit. 

After Potter was ready, we all should try to get contact with the hippogriff. I was already annoyed because of Potter, my worries about Hermione and my confused feelings. So I insulted the hippogriff. I knew you shouldn't do that but I didn't care at that moment. So I insulted the next living thing I could reach, which was unluckily not Crabbe or Goyle but a hippogriff. And it hurt me, less than I pretended but still it hurt. "Wait, till my father will hear about this!" I shouted in my anger. I looked at Hermione. And suddenly my anger disappeared and I realized what I just did. Even if I changed my opinion and didn't talk to my father, Pansy, Crabbe or Goyle will do. I closed my eyes the moment I caught Hermione's face. Oh she was mad.

Hermione's POV

I stormed into the hospital wing, I didn't care if anybody would see me. All I had to do was to talk to Draco! "You!" I shouted when I arrived in the hospital wing. It was empty except of Draco. "What were you thinking? Because of you, Hagrid might get fired! Are you insane? Do you think I would think that this is okay? Where did you have your brain, Draco?" I had to breath again and  sat down at Draco's bed. He looked at me. "I'm sorry Hermione. I really am. I don't know what was wrong with me in that moment. I didn't mean to make such a circus." "Great Draco, a bit late to regret, isn't it?" I sighted. "I don't want to fight, Draco. But it's getting harder and harder to stay friends with you. I love you as a friend, Draco. But you are bad for my other friends. Look, your father already aid that this will have consequences for Hagrid and we know how your father plays, we learned it last year." Draco closed it eyes. He always did this when I mentioned his father. "Okay, Hermione. I will try to fix this somehow. I swear. But you know it's hard for me, too. I want to be your friend, your best friend. But I must also play my Slytherin role, so that Pansy, Crabbe and Goyle aren't mistrusting." I nodded. Yes, that was clear. Oh god, it was all so much easier in the first year. But I knew, and Draco knew that, too, that it will getting harder the older we will become.
