Chapter 18: Do you want me to?
Hermione woke up to the sound of some voices heard outside her room.
"Hermione? Can I come in?" a voice asked.
"Yes." she said in a sleepy and slightly croaky voice.
"Hey, Mione. I'm here to take you home. Ron and Ginny are here too." Harry said as he walked briskly into the room.
"Harry? Did Draco let the three of you into the apartment?" Hermione asked and Harry nodded.
Hermione turned to look at another tall figure, Draco.
" Look, Hermione. If you want to go then just go back home. You don't have to stay with me if you don't want to." Draco said and Hermione stared at him.
" Draco... Do you want me to leave?" Hermione asked, glancing at Draco.
"I... It doesn't matter what I think." Draci said firmly, not daring to meet Hermione's eyes. Yet they both knew what his real answer was.
" Do you want to go home?" Draco asked the same question he had asked the day before.
Once again both of them knew the answer before Hermione even parted her lips.
" I don't... I don't want to go back, Harry. This IS my home." Hermione said, standing her ground.
She got up from her bed, ignoring Harry's shocked look and walked downstairs to the living room, where Ginny and Ron were sitting on the couch. Harry and Draco followed her down.
"Hey, Hermione." Ginny said brightly.
" Hey," Hermione replied in a bittersweet tone.
There was a moment of silence as Ginny observed Hermione.
" I need to have a word with you. ALONE." Ginny suddenly said, getting up and pulling Hermione to the nearest room.
" Do you really love Draco?" Ginny asked and Hermione nodded.
Ginny sighed and took a deep breath before continuing, "I heard from Harry that the ministry wants to put him in Azkaban and I know that Harry is not going stop until he either catches Draco and puts him in Azkaban, or accept your love for him and try to clear his name. But we both know that it will be a long time before he accepts your love for Draco... Harry told the ministry that Draco kidnapped you and that you're both in Malfoy Manor... Your best solution, run."
