Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Maybe

They arrived at the front of an extravagant looking restaurant.

" Malfoy." Draco said confidently to a waitress, as if that were a password.

As though on cue, the waitress led him into the restaurant. Hermione saw that there were gold decorations, mostly simple yet elegant designs. She and Draco were led into a private room, where the door was then closed in on them.

" What-" Hermione started but Draco cut her off.

" I was originally going to come here with Astoria... But seeing as we broke up... Well, I decided to bring you here instead." Draco muttered, looking at Hermione right in the eyes.

Hermione looked down for a moment before smiling.

" What do you want to eat?" Draco asked.

" Uh..." Hermione trailed off as she looked at the menu, which was in Latin, a language she didn't understand.

" That?" She pointed to a certain dish uncertainly.

" Okay..." Draco said, and with a press of a button, a waitress was summoned.

After they ordered, Draco and Hermione sat on silence, both trying to avoid looking at the other's eye.

The food soon came and as Hermione took the first bite, she resisted the urge to vomit. She swallowed it and being caught up in her thoughts, she didn't catch Draco staring at her.

" You don't like it, do you?" Draco asked, grinning.

Hermione shook her head.

" Neither do I... I thought girls liked this kind of thing... Though it might just be Astoria." Draco said. He grabbed Hermione's hand once again.

" Come on. " he said, pulling her out of the restaurant, ignoring all the stares he got, giving the waitress a hundred dollar bill for the food as he went.

" This is good." Hermione took a big bite out of her burger. The two were sitting on the ground outside a fast food restaurant.

" Uh huh." Draco replied, before getting serious.

" You haven't answered my question yet... How did you get injured?" Hermione asked again, yet slower and softer this time. She saw Draco tense up, taking in a deep breath.

" My father. He... Inflicted pain and torture on my mother and I... He was crazy." Draco said, his eyes closed.

" But why?" Hermione asked, her eyes burning with concern.

" I can't say." Draco said, looking away.
" Draco... Will you be okay?" Hermione asked, even though she knew it was a stupid thing to ask.

Hearing Hermione say his name soothed Draco.

" Maybe."
