Hermione Pov

We had talked a lot on the train, and ate quite a bit of sweets. We cheered Ginny up a bit, and had very interesting conversations with Luna. We were hopping of the train laughing about something Neville had said, when I felt a strong arm grab my shoulder. I instinctively whipped my wand out and spun around, only to see Draco Malfoy standing there.

Everyone stopped to look. "G-Hermione, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Why so you have a chance to call her a mudblood? No way in he-"
"Ginny, it's ok" The fiery red head looked at me in awe. "Your too nice Hermione. But-" She snapped her neck towards Malfoy.
"I swear to god if you touch her, game over" she hissed. I had to hold in my laughter. She was so overprotective; she walked towards the castle yelling over her shoulder, "We'll see you at the dining hall!". I nodded at her and turned towards Draco. Everyone had left now, we were alone.
"Hermione I-" Then I watched the pale haired boy burst into tears.

Draco's Pov

I couldn't contain myself. I threw myself onto her and started bawling. All my emotions came pouring out, the ones that I had been keeping for 4 years, came out infront of Hermione Granger.
At first she stood there, frozen in place, I was scared she was going to do something to me. I didn't know why, but she then held me. She put her arm around my shoulder and hugged me tightly. After a few minutes, I was able to contain myself.
I looked up to see her with sympathetic eyes. "Hermione I-I-"
"I know"
"Wait, what?"
"And I forgive you"

Hermione's Pov

I was so astonished when he started crying. Why? Why why why? Then it clicked. I remembered. I remembered how he didn't have a choice. I remembered how he was alone. He had to take it out somehow. Unfortunately that was mainly on me Ron and Harry, but I understood. He was pressured, bullied by his own father, alone... I guess there was more to that little ferret than I thought.

"And I forgive you"
The words rolled off my tongue, it was the truth. Draco looked up at me like a little kid, with big eyes.
"Y-you what?" He let go of me.
"W-why?"
I took a deep breath in. "Because I know what you've been going through. I understand how you must have felt. Torn between two worlds of evil and good, pressured, alone, -"
I was suddenly attacked by Draco's warm embrace. He wasn't bawling anymore, but when he let go of me, a single tear ran down his face.
"Thank you"

I smiled and gave him a small kiss on the cheek- but suddenly Draco swooped around and planted a small kids on my lips. I was petrified. I wasn't angry or sad, I was just in shock.

I was about to open my mouth to say something but Draco almost whispered, "I'm so sorry Hermione, I-I shouldn't have done that" and he sped away into the night with his head down. Not knowing the words Hermione were going to say was,

                     "I love you".

Should I be mean and leave it there? Or should I continue? I'll leave it up to you.

Guys. I am about to explode. So I was writing this at 1 Am like a normal being when suddenly: My Wattpad crashed. EVERY FLIPPING THING GOT DELETED! Ok maybe not everything, BUT THE ENTIRE CHAPTER! So now I'm gonna take longer and you can blame Wattpad for that.
