Our Beautiful Insanity

Chapter 5, is that all I am to you?

(Hermione's POV)

The halls were empty, and all the students had gone to bed. Since Hermione was a prefect this year, she was doing her rounds. Chuckles were coming from behind the old lion statue. Her face stunned after the look of what she had seen. Ron and Lavender. Together. Making out.

Ron's face was shocked. "Mione, ehm. I'm sorry I didn't." -"You didn't mean to cheat on me" she continued his sentence. "Please forgive me sweetie, please I'm so sorry."

This was ridiculous; he actually thought she would take him back. Honestly, did he know her at all? Git. "Obviously, I won't. Who do you think I am?" She said matter-of-factly. "Come on Mione". Ron stuttered.

"You heard the lady, move." Draco come up from behind the corner. He must have been there for a while. "This has nothing to do with you Malfoy. Go away," Ron barked. "Please, Mione." She was angry now. "I asked you if you knew who I am. obviously you don't. So please let me tell you. I AM HERMIONE FUNKING GRANGER."

(Draco's POV)

The Granger girl really knew how to speak for herself. He really was impressed. How could the weasel boy cheat on her? Moreover, with that disgusting Gryffindorbimbo Lavender. Granger was excessively too good for that boy. In fact, she was too good for any boy. Even himself.

"I'm a school prefect, so I suggest you two leave immediately if you don't want to spend the night in the dungeon, that is?" Draco raised his eyebrow questionable, and waited for an answer. "Fine," Ron spat. "Come on lavender."

As Ron and Lavender made their way to the Gryffindor common room, Draco and Hermione stood there for minutes in complete silence.

He finally found some courage, and broke the silence. "You okay?" he tried to sound friendly, but not to friendly. She looked at him with a tame look. "Yeah, its fine. Really" she assured him. "Why don't I believe you, then?" He asked.

She smiled.

Oh God. I had just made her smile. For the first time something he did mad her smile. He wasn't sure why she was smiling though. It made no sense.

(Hermione's POV)

She shouldn't be smiling, but she couldn't help it. It was just that he acted as if he cared, and it felt good.

"You know." She paused, just to breath. "I don't know what's worse. That I just found my boyfriend cheating on me, or the fact that I don't really care that he did." The words just came out. She had never meant to open herself for him. It was just that he was there, and she felt almost compelled to talk to him. "Both sounds pretty bad to me." He smiled.

He is quite handsome when he smiles. He should do it more often

*She mentally slapped herself with the thought*. Hermione stop. He is not handsome. He Is Draco Malfoy, for God's sake. Nevertheless, he is still handsome. No, he is not Hermione. Focus!

"I should probably go." She really needed to get out of there as quickly as possible. "Thank you... Draco" She knew that using his first name was more than enough of a thank you alone. It was the perfect way to show that she was grateful.

(Draco's POV)

He watched as she walked away. When she was almost at the end of the corridor, he dragged out himself out of his trance. "No Problem... Hermione." He whispered her name to himself. Although she could not hear him, he needed to say it. Her name, to return the favour. Hermione... It was all he could think.
