The Dying Flower

26|Remember

"No, Malfoy I will not let you ruin a cute couple's first date," Hermione said pulling back on Draco's arm to make him stop walking.

The halls was deserted, not a single student walked in the hall. The sky was cloudy, but the sun still showed though. Students were either still eating or already in Hogsmeads having their fun.

"Cute couple? Yeah I know Theo is one of my best friends, but he is an idiot and he had more than one girlfriend at the same time."

"People change."

"You said that about me, but look we aren't friends."

"Because you didn't change!"

"Well I know that am a better person then a few years ago. My younger self would have laughed at us being friendly to each other."

"Oh so you're saying that fighting is friendly?!"

"No I didn't mean it like that."

"Malfoy if you dare ruin their date I will ruin you."

"How?"

"Easy, gossip."

"What would you say? That I have a unicorn for a girlfriend."

"Nope, I can just ask Valentine what happened in 1987 and believe me she will tell me, because you ruined her first date?"

"Huh I'm blackmailed by you again," Draco said while running a hand though his white blonde hair.

"Yes, yes you are," Hermione said and let go of Draco's arm, making it fall to his side.

"So we're still not friends?" Draco asked leaning on the wall, looking at Hermione.

"Nope," Hermione sighed and leaned against the wall next to Draco. She closed her eyes and then she took a deep breath.

"Why is that?"

"You shouldn't be the one asking that, I should. I should be asking you why you said what you said back on the quidditch field, but I already knew the answer."

"And what is the answer?"

"I knew that you probably didn't want your friends and my friends to know that we were friends, that you were ashamed to call me your friend in front of them. But aren't I just a filthy Mudblood and you a rich Pureblood?"

"Don't call yourself that."

"What? A Mudblood, Malfoy I will call myself a Mudblood till I die, because that what I am. A filthy Mudblood."

"Please, stop calling yourself that."

"Why does it remind you of all the times you called me that or does it remind you of my screaming in your house when it was permanently printed on my flesh?"

"Stop, please.."

"Stop telling the truth? Aren't I a stubborn Gryffindor, who is a pain?"

"Hermione..."

She opened her eyes to see that Draco was in front of her, both of his hands on the wall, blocking her way out. His eyes were directly on hers, his eyes were also on the edge of tears.

"Hermione I am so sorry for what I did to you and what I called you. For all the times I called you that word and I'm so sorry for not keeping the promises that I was supposed to keep. I was a prat, a git and a jerk."

"Huh you still remember that we were once friends, I thought you would forget."

"I would never forget that you were the smartest first year and that you were a great friend, but I treated you like rubbish. I don't blame you for being friends with Potter and Weasley," Draco sighed and then turn so he was leaning against the wall again.

"Huh you do you remember what the first promise you broke?"

"Yeah I remember you told me, the day after we got sorted, that we could still be friends even though we were in different houses, I pinkyed promise I believe."

"Again I thought you would forget."

"Again I would never forget."

They both turned their heads to face each, their eyes locked as they made eye contact. Both lost in their own world, smiling to both them selfs and the person next to them.

"No freacking away is that Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger,"a voice yelled from the right end of the hall, Hermione knew that voice for she only heard it a few minutes ago.

"You're right Abi it is Malfoy and Granger,"another voice said, but it wasn't one of the girls from her group it was a teenaged boy.

"Way to state the obvious Comingham," Draco said, breaking the eye contact with him and Hermione so that he can glare at the two people in front of them.

"It's pronounced Cunningham," the teenaged boy said in a-matter-of-fact way.

The teenage boy was an average height boy with dark brown hair almost black hair and his eyes were a dull blue. The girl named Abi was next to him with an arm around his. Hermione didn't realize her appearance till now, she was shorter then Draco and the Cunningham guy,but she was an inch taller then Hermione, she had an unnatural shade of blonde hair and her eyes looked like she put very bright blue eye contacts on to make her look like a rejected​ model from Witch Weekly or something.

"And you Bardou," Draco said looking down at the Abi,"why don't you shut your mouth if you want to live another day."

"Are you threatening my girlfriend Malfoy?"Cunningham said, getting his wand out and pointed at Draco.

"In a matter of fact I am,"Draco said and got off the wall with his own wand out, pointed at Cunningham.

"10 points from Slytherin for agreeing to duel and 10 points from Ravenclaw for offering to duel the head boy," Hermione said, making Draco and Cunningham put their wands back were they were.

"How do you know which house I'm in? It's not like am wearing my uniform," Cunningham said either amazed or curious.

"I have my ways Cunningham," Hermione said and got off the wall as well.

"You think you're so clever don't you," Bardou said in a disgusted way to Hermione.

"Oh I know I am," Hermione smirked.

"Any one would know that Hermione Granger is 'the brightness witch of her age' and I thought you two were Ravenclaws," Draco said frowning at the Ravenclaws.

"WE ARE RAVENCLAWS!!!"the couple yelled in unison.

"Then how are you two so...stupid," Draco said with a smirk, once he said that the two Ravenclaws dropped their jaws at Draco's words.

"Come on Draco," Hermione said and grabbed his wrist, forcing him to leave the two speechless Ravenclaws.

Once the head boy and girl were far enough from the Ravenclaw couple they bursted out laughing. Hermione was surprised that Draco's laugh didn't sound out of hate (and she heard him laugh out of hate many times before), but he seem to laugh, because it was funny.

"Wait," Draco said calming down from laughing," how did you know that Cunningham was from Ravenclaw, I didn't even get to tell you his house?"

"Elementary my dear Watson," Hermione said smiling up at the Slytherin in front of her.

Draco only chuckled softly at her words.

"Let's go to Hogsmeads together and get some butterbeers," Draco offered with a smile."As friends not like a couple or anything," Draco added hastily after he realized that is offer sounded like a date.

"I'd like that," Hermione said calmly.

"Really?"

"Really."

"So are we friends again?"

"I thought we become friends back when you said sorry to me?"

"Really?"

Hermione rolled her eyes."Really."

"Brilliant!"
