Just Go For It

Chapter 23

Draco and Hermione had a major big pillow fight for 30 minutes until Hermione was winning.

"Okay Hermione I give up you win."

"What? This isn't about me winning it's about me getting revenge on all times you were mean to me."

"So that's why your hitting me so hard."

"Yeah Draco that's why."

"Well I'm sorry. Look at me I'm saying sorry to you and I've never said sorry to anyone."

"It's okay Draco I've put it behind me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I put it behind me ages ago."

"Okay this is a random question but what did I do to get punched by you in 3rd year?"

"You wanted Buckbeak dead."

"So it was just a what was it?"

"An Hippogriff."

"So what was the over reasons? And I was 13 I didn't know what I was talking about then."

"The over reasons were you called me a Mudblood in 2nd and 3rd year so I wanted a bit of revenge."

"So you, Potter and Weasley all forgave me."

"What do you mean?"

"Last year you, Potter and Weasley saved me."

"That's just because Harry's thoughtful he never likes anyone dying even if you were his worst enemy."

"Why did you save Blaise then you didn't even know him?"

"Because we just did and why are we talking about this the war was tragic and upsetting."

"Says you I got hugged by Voldermort and Dean Thomas was holding in laughter."

"He was? And how do you know if you were hugging Voldemort."

"Whoa Hermione I did not and I repeat not hug Voldemort he hugged me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes when he hugged me I was really embarrassed I just wanted to hit him for humiliating me in front of the whole school."

"Don't you mean what was left of the school."

"I know one thing don't correct me."

"Most of the school was dead."

"Still."

"Draco? Have you still got the darkmark on your arm."

"Why do you want to know that?"

"No reason. But you looked like you didn't want to join Voldermort's side."

"I didn't. And yes I still have the mark."

"Can I see?"

"I don't want you to see."

"Why not?"

"Because then you'll judge me."

"Draco I already know you're a ex-Death Eater."

"I hate looking at it though."

"Why do you hate looking at it?"

"Because I feel like I've betrayed everyone. At first I thought it would be awesome if I became a Death Eater and then when Voldemort told me I had to kill people I realized it wasn't a good idea after all."

"Can I please look?"

Draco looked down at his arm and gently nodded. Hermione gently lifted up the sleeve and saw the Dark Mark. She looked at it for a few seconds and looked at Draco who was looking away not wanting to see what was printed on his arm. Hermione pulled down his sleeve. And Draco and Hermione interlocked eyes. They interlocked eyes for a few minutes then Hermione blushed and turned away.
