Chapter Twelve ~ Find The Needle In The Haystack

HARRY POTTER DOES NOT BELONG TO ME.

Hermione had gotten through Snape's scary Potion Class, today it was made even scarier because Proffesor Snape would give her a stern look every time Amora cried. Hermione was in her dorm with Ginny, Ginny was holding Amora, she loved helping Hermione look after her. Amora tossed and turned as if something was annoying her and she was becoming difficult to hold, Ginny tried to fix her blanket when two folded sheets of paper fell to the floor.

"Hermione? Did you put this in here?" Ginny asked as she gave Hermione the baby to hold so she could open the papers. Hermione rolled her eyestalks Ginny's nosiness, "What does it say?" Hermione asked, standing up and putting Amora in a more steady way and going to see what Ginny was reading. "It's from Malfoy." Ginny said, looking at Hermione with concern.
"Here hold Amora, I will read it." Hermione told her and start unfolding the paper that read Purple Otter, Hermione smiled as she saw the name- ironic. She started reading the letter from Draco.

Dear Hermione,

I know you are mad at me- you have every right to be. I shouldn't have rushed into things so quickly, that night in the ROR, we should have been more careful. I don't want you to think I broke up with you because I don't like you, I love you. Yes, you read correctly, I love you. I broke up with you because of that, I know it sounds strange-

"Very strange indeed." Hermione said aloud.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Oh, nothing, just reading," Hermione said, taking a deep breath in then reading more.

-but I had a reason to and that reason is my father. I know he is in Azkaban but that doesn't matter, if he finds out. Which he will, he will kill you and our daughter. Sounds silly but read. A weeks ago, when we took that short break, I talked to my father, I sent him a letter. I told him about us, in anger, I said that I hated you now and that you made fun of me and treated me like a joke. He replied, now he wants to kill you and it's my fault. He said he is going to escape Azkaban and if he finds out about the baby, it will make things worse. There is a house, in the countryside. It is magical and it will only let you and I in and since the baby is from both of us, it will let her in too. I made it when we thought we needed to run away during the war. But now when your ready, you can live their with our girl, without me. I hope you can forgive me.

Sincerely,
Foul Loathsome Evil Little Cockroach.

Hermione gasped, he called himself, a cockroach? She gulped she felt a lump in her throats and it hurt, she felt her eyes puffing up, she was going to cry. She was crying, more than she ever had before. Her hands were wet and her face was red. She took deep breaths, she felt so bad, she had only let him have five minutes with his daughter. "I forgive him, Ginny." Hermione said, still wiping tears.
"So are you getting back together?" Ginny asked giving Hermione as much tissues as she could with one hand.
"I don't think I'm ready for that yet but I forgive him." Hermione said, sniffling and wiping the remaining tears in her eyes.

The Astronomy Tower

Draco had received a not from Hermione it was short and simple and read:
Meet me in our secret meeting place.
Hermione

He had kept reading the note while walking up the stairs, hoping for more but it was the same. He met Hermione with her arms folded, looking like she had been waiting for what seemed like forever, "Look who decided to arrive." Hermione said.
"Sorry I took so long to come." Draco said, coming closer to Hermione, "Ready to get back together already? I knew you couldn't resist, Granger." Draco said secondly, smirking while leaning to kiss Hermione.
"You wish," Hermione scoffed, placing a hand in front of her face, then she turned around and picked up Amora out of her baby carrier, "I brought you here to stay with Amora for a bit."
"Really, what changed? You couldn't resist my hair? My eyes? My muscl-"
"Your letter."
"My what?"
"The letter you put in Amora's baby blanket, it made me realise I wasn't fair and that..." Hermione said, trailing off.
"And what?" Draco said, smirking waiting to receive his apology as if it was candy.
"I am sorry and I forgive you." Hermione muttered, reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you, what was that?" Draco asked, making his hand a cup and putting it next to his ear.
"I'm forgive you!" Hermione shouted as she put her hand over mouth then everything went silent.

"Do you think Filch heard that?" Hermione asked, looking around.
"I sure hope not, for our sake." Draco said, "But anyway is that all you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Yes." Hermione said, giving him the baby, Draco looked at Amora with happiness but he thought of Hermione and he was sad, she was really mad at him.
"So, what about us?" Draco asked, looking in despair at Hermione while she looked away trying not to face him, clearly it was too much for her.
"You said it yourself, we can't be together." Hermione said, "Take Amora to your room, I can't do this now."
Hermione left the room, she held her tears until she left the room, she didn't want Draco to see her being weak or for him to be cheeky and crack a stupid joke.
She turned back, Draco couldn't take Amora to his room, that would be stupid she needed to go back.
"I realised that your incapable of taking care of her." Hermione said as she wiped her tears and sniffled.
"Were you crying, Granger?" Draco asked as he rocked his daughter.
"No." Hermione said.
"Don't lie, I know you, Granger." Draco said, looking at her, demanding an answer with his eyes.
"I- I still love you and hurts because," Hermione took a deep breath, "I don't want to."
Draco looked at his feet, that stung- harsh much?
"I don't want to because I want the pain to stop," Hermione said tears rolling down her cheeks and dropping on to her night clothes, "I can't stop pretending that I'm fine. I'm not fine, I can't do this, Malfoy." She cried and breathed heavily as she came up to him and gave him a hug, being mindful of Amora.
"I can't do this." Hermione cried, she let the tears fall, she needed to let it out, she couldn't hold it, Draco placed the baby back in the carrier and hugged Hermione tight.
He could hear Hermione's sobs, her heavy breathing her grabbed her face and force her to look at him, she was broken. He didn't want her upset, he wanted her to be happy.

Draco kissed her lips, Hermione pulled back, she wasn't ready she couldn't do this- not right now. "Malfoy, I appreciate the comfort but now we are nothing more than...friends." Hermione said.
"Bloody hell, Hermione!" Draco yelled, "Don't do this!" Draco said, starting to cry.
Hermione looking at him with lost eyes, she couldn't leave him but she couldn't help it, the feelings were mixed and confusing she had a pain in her heart that only increased when she was near Draco. Hermione kissed his cheek and grabbed Amora's carrier then fled the Astronomy Tower.

Draco stayed in the tower, he looked up at the stars, they never looked so far away before, never. Filch came up the steps, Draco didn't move he couldn't be bothered.
"Mr Malfoy, maybe you'd like to come with me." Filch said, taking Draco by the arm and escorting him out of The Astronomy Tower. Draco didn't try to escape or even argue, he just followed, he was still in shock, Hermione was gone.
"Not talking, eh? Easy job for me." Filch grinned, as he pushed him into Snape's office.
Draco took detention silently, not even Snape took the time to scold him and tell him how disgraceful his actions were. Snape could see that Draco was a man with his heart broken.
