The Dying Flower

34|Chose

Draco never felt this type of emotion before,but he was confused. Was it brotherly love or was it something else. Was he feeling the weird thing called love? "Nah," he said to himself and opened his bedroom door.

He walked down stairs to the living area, he strolled to the record player and chose a random record.

He hummed to the music, he felt like he was walking on air. He felt like he found something that he lost years ago.

"Morning," a voice yawned behind him, he smiled and turned to face Hermione.

"Good morning, Hermi. Sleep well?" He asked while walking closer to her.

She stretched her arms and yawned. "Not really, but I tried."

"Well at least you tried," He said then jumped on the couch, he patted on the seat next to him, telling her to sit. She nodded and sat.

"I just realized that at a certain age some people stop dreaming," she said then shrugged."Well at least I stopped dreaming, all I see is darkness and then the next second I'm up."

"That's not sleeping, it's more like thinking," Draco said solemnly, slowly wrapped an arm around her. She smiled and snugged into his chest.

"What do you think I think about at night?"

Draco smiled."Well I thought I was suppose to ask you for permission."

"Good you remember."

"I never forget."

"Sure."

"Is that sarcasm I hear?"

"No..."

"Oh shut up," Draco said trying to bring her closer to him.

Hermione took a deep breath and closer her eyes,listening to his heartbeat. "I don't know what emotion I'm feeling right now...."

"Me too."

"...but I think I like it."

Draco smiled."Me too."

"Really?" Hermione said looking up at him with an huge smile.

"Really," Draco said and slowly leaning down to kiss her."Yeah, I think I-"

"GOOD MORNING--oh s-strawberry jam!

Both Hermione and Draco shot up and jump off each other. They look at Valentine with shock. Valentine walked to them while pointing to Draco then Hermione, a Cheshire Cat like smile suddenly grew on her face.

"Oh my Merlin!Oh my Merlin!" Valentine squealed while jumping up and down.

"Shut up woman, do you want all of Hogwarts to hear you," Draco hissed at his cousin.

"Yes! I want all of Hogwarts- no I want the whole wizarding world to know that my cousin found love," Valentine squealed.

"Love?" both Hermione and Draco said in unison.

"What are you a bunch of kindergarteners? Love is when-"

"We know what it means!" Hermione and Draco in unison again, they turned to each and glared. "Stop that! No you stop!"

"Aw that is so cute," Valentine cooed and sat in front of them on the coffee table.

"What is so cute?" They said in unison again, they squinted their eyes at each other.

"I am going to say a number between 1 and 100," Draco said, Hermione nodded."One...two..three."

"Twenty-one!" they said at the same time.
