Dramione-A forbidden Love

Chapter 22

Hermione's POV

Time went on and Harry accomplished the first task as a winner. Ron talked again with Harry and all was well. Soon there would be the Great Dance. I was very excited, but also very nervous. Nobody asked me yet if I would go to the Dance with him. But seriously not Harry nor Ron asked me and I knew that both of them hadn't had dates yet. Was I so less a girl? I decided not to go to the Dance with one of them, even of one of them would ask me. 

Today I was on my way to meet Draco again in "our" classroom. Honestly, I had no idea what we would do if this classroom wouldn't be empty anymore. Suddenly I thought pooped in my head. What if Draco asked me to be his date? My hands began to sweat and my heart stopped for a second. A few seconds later I shook my head about myself. Draco and I were friends. He would never ask me out for a Dance. And I didn't want to change that. At least that was what I tried to convince myself. Moreover, Draco would never be that risky to show himself on the Dance with me as his date. Not even Ron and Harry knew about us, and the whole school shouldn't never know this. 

I arrived at the classroom. A few minutes later also Draco showed up. "Looks like you'll get a dinner from me, isn't it?" he said. I turned around and smiled. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Harry  will win this thing!" Draco laughed. "We#ll see, I don't give up hope. Krum's still on it." I had to laugh. Draco grinned and walked towards me to hug me. I closed my eyes and breathed in deep his unique odor. He always smelled always like peppermint and fresh parchment and something that was only Draco. I realized that we hugged for almost over a minute, but for some reason I didn't care. I didn't want to be at any other place in the world, just in Draco's arms. I felt safe in here, and could forgot all my worries about Harry and Rita Skeeter and so much more. Finally, I walked a step back. Draco smiled. "You have red cheeks." he said and laughed. "Do I make you nervous?" His eyes sparkle. I showed him my tongue. He laughed even  more. "Say it" I said. He looked puzzled. "Say it, you were impressed about Harry and the dragon!" I laughed. He rolled his eyes. "Okay, yeah maybe it was a kind of a great show and the boy may have a big talent on the broom. Happy?!" "Absolutely!" I answered and had to laugh again. It was always so funny with Draco. "It was impressive how he flew." I said. "I know he will win the tournament." "Maybe your right", Draco had to admit. I smiled. That was one thing I loved most about Draco. He was self-confident and knew what he could and that he had talents, and he was always mean to me. But he could be super sweet and most importantly he could admit if other's were good at things, even when this person was Harry. 

When it was time to say good-bye we hugged again. All over my body was a prickling. On my way back to the common room I suddenly realized that I was a bit in love with Draco. At first I was afraid. But on the other hand I couldn't stop smiling and thinking about him. I was happy. But then I realized who Draco was and who I was. A pureblood and a muggleborn. He was supposed to hate people like me. I knew that the scene at the World cup wouldn't be the only thing. I was in danger. And Draco would never love me. He couldn't. I wasn't even sure if our friendship could survive the dark times which lay ahead of us. I suddenly realized I stood in the middle of a corridor. I hurried back to the common room. Before I entered I took a deep breath. I wasn't allowed to show my feelings to the others. I tried to smile, though I wanted to cry. I loved Draco, but he would never love me.
