Dramione-A forbidden Love

Chapter 23

I'm so sorry it took again so long to upload the new chapter! I don't know why, but I have so little time at the moment :( 

But here it is the new chapter! And this time Ginny is here, too! I think someone needs her help... 

Hermione's POV

I looked into my book, puzzled, without reading one single sentence. A few minutes ago someone asked me out. I just didn't really realized who. I was so confused. I couldn't believe it. It was VIKTOR KRUM. The one boy, everyone was so excited about. In my total surprise I said Yes, and don't get me wrong, I didn't deny it. To be honest, I liked Viktor. And you can't deny that he was good looking. But I was worried about the reactions of everybody else. What would they say? That ugly muggleborn girl, with this famous boy? What would Draco say? What would he think about me? And Harry and Ron? Sure they thought that I didn't have a date, but I knew, or I had an idea what Ron would say about me with a boy like Viktor. "Concentrate, Hermione!" I said to myself. "You have to think about something else!" I took a deep breath and read the sentence again. However, I was interrupted. 

"I knew you were here." a well known voice said. I lifted my head and and looked up in Ginny's (here she is! :D) brown eyes. "So, Granger, tell me, what is it?" Confused I shook my head. Ginny sat down in front of me. "Hermione, you know the people I love are the people I understand the most, without words." she explained,as if this was totally clear. "And you are sitting in the library, while outside is the sunniest day ever, and in front of you are like 7 books. Everybody would see that you're not fine. SO what is it, Hermione?" I sighted. It was hopeless and maybe talking about everything would really help. "Somebody asked me out" I whispered. Ginny's eyes became big. "OMG. Who? Did my stupid brother finally take the step?" I frowned my forehead. "What, now!" "Then who is it?", she asked impatiently. "Viktor Krum." I whispered. If it was even possible, Ginny's eyes became bigger. "You lucky girl! What did you say? Let me guess.. You said no, didn't you? I mean you have feelings for Draco. But you would not go with him to the ball, it would be stupid and dangerous, you know and I guess Draco know that, too... So you said... Yes?" she answered. I looked at her puzzled. What?! "You... you know about my friendship with Draco? And that I'm... in love with him?" "To be honest, I guessed. But your connection with Draco, it's not obviously, but I know you. And I figured it out." I smiled a bit. Ginny was the best. She said these things without any blame or anything. She was there for me. I wished her brothers would be the same! "What should I do, Ginny?" I whispered with tears in my eyes. "I think you should go to the dance with Viktor. But I promise you my stupid brother will hate you for that. But you know that, don't you? As for Draco I have no idea how he will react, I don't know him and I have no idea what his feelings are. But what I wanted  to say was that you know Draco's background and the time we're living in." She looked at me with a sad smile. Suddenly I walked towards her and hugged her. I was so glad to have her! I knew I could count on her, no matter what my decision would be. Also decisions after the dance. 

Draco's POV

Without big joy. I put on my dress robe. The last thing I wanted to do this evening was to go to the dance. Additionally, with Pansy. There was only one girl at Hogwarts I wanted to go to the dance with. But this girl was not available. So together with Pansy I walked to the Great Hall. "I'm so excited! Finally the Ball's here! Do you like my dress? Isn't it gorgeous? You didn't told me if I'm beautiful yet, Draco! That's not very kind." "Oh, shut up, Pansy, of course you're beautiful, you know that as good as I do and every other boy at the school!" A bit huffy she stopped talking. I searched for Hermione in the crowd, but I couldn't find her. With the start of the music the doors swung open and the champions walked in with their dates. Diggory with Chang, that was clear, also Fleur Delacour with Davis. And Krum had... No that couldn't be true. Never. "Oh look Krum asked that mudblood Granger." Pansy said. I closed my eyes. No. I couldn't realize it. Next to me Pansy giggled and laughed. All I could think of about was that I should be where Krum was now. 

The whole evening I could think only about Krum and Hermione. I sighted. Maybe it was the time to admit that I loved her. Inside of me I knew this since I kissed her. But I thought, I had to ignore this feeling. She would never feel the same way.
