Torn || A Dramione Love Story

Chapter 6:

OK so here's chapter number six

************************************************* **************************************************

Draco's POV

There was a pain shooting up all of my right side, it was burning me and I felt like screaming but my mouth wouldn't move.

I felt something squeezing my good hand tightly. I managed to open my eyes slowly but all I saw was a blurry picture of the ceiling.

Not knowing who had my hand was driving me crazy, but I just couldn't seem to form the words to ask. I hardly even remembered what had happened.

With great difficulty I turned my head to the side and my eyes and ears focused on one sobbing Granger.

I'd never thought I'd see the when Granger would be crying over someone like me. But I felt sort of happy, that someone could care for me even if this was a thing of guilt.

I felt sorry for her so I managed to give her hand a reassuring squeeze. She sniffed and looked up at me, I gave her a little smile.

"You OK Granger?"

I don't think either of us could believe what she did next. She got up and slowly rapped her arms around my torso and hugged me close.

"Of course, I'm fine."

I think i may have lost my breath there for a second, but she pulled away.

"Sorry" she muttered

I opened my mouth to say something, but when the words wouldn't form she turned around and walked out of the hospital wing quietly.

I sat there thinking, I had way to much time to think these days. My farther had sent a letter upon the night of our arrival, it read

Draco,

Your mother and I have come to an agreement

That you are to bring the partner of your choice to Malfoy manor during the first semester holidays.

We hope that you are still keeping up with your classes

Don't let us down,
Luscious and Narcissa

I don't know if my parents were ever taught how to be good parents, but if they were they must have failed pretty badly.

I tried to think of some possible girls I could take back to the Manor. I could have basically have any girl of my pick, but I had to admit nobody really seemed to strike my interest.

I wanted a girl who I could talk to, smart, witty, pretty but not one of those stupid fake blonde bimbos because I don't think I could ever live with that.

I didn't understand why it had to be so soon it's not like I was going to get out of Hogwarts and just die before I could produce a heir.

I bet Pansy would just love to be the one I took home, of course she knew I had to choose someone because of her parents.

The Parkinson and Malfoy family's have been friends for over four generations, unfortunately for me. Pansy has always had a huge crush on me ever since first year, but I find her repulsive.

Madame Pomfrey came in, about ten minutes after Hermione left, to give me the required medicine i could need to fully heal all my broken bones.

After I took some horrible tasting liquid I was allowed to go. I got dressed and headed out of the hospital wing.

I was allowed to have the day off because apparently it was important for me to rest. I went back the head students dorms, I had nowhere else to go.

Normal POV

Hermione had had a long day, after she left Malfoy in the hospital wing she had gone straight to her advanced Charms class. from there she had several lessons which she was not particularly keen on.

After the day was finally over and shed finished talking to Harry and Ron she went back to the portrait of Snape and went inside to the common room.

The first thing she heard was light snoring from over in the far corner of the room. She looked over to see Malfoy fast asleep with the book he had been reading still in his hand.

She smiled, when he was in this, his most vulnerable state, he almost look like a nice guy. Hermione shook her head, it never occurred to her that she could even think that.

***

Draco woke with a start, he was groggy from sleep and his vision took a minute to focus. He remembered he was reading quite a good book about muggle fairy tales.

They always seemed to end happily with a couple who ended up married or something similar. He scoffed, the bad guy never got the girl he didn't need a book to tell him that.

He stood up and stretched but he heard something fall to the ground, he looked down and at his feet was a green blanket. Funny he thought, he didn't remember getting that.

Hermione came out of her room at 6:00 in her robes, as did Draco. Together the headed down to the Great Hall for dinner, they walked in silence most of the way until Draco spoke up,

"did you put that blanket over me?"

"yes"

"why?"

"You looked cold"

Malfoy didn't replied for a while. When they reached the doors of the Great Hall he said almost non-existent

"Thank you"

Once inside the hall Hermione and Draco, as always, went their separate ways to either side of the room where their tables sat.

Magonagall make a quick note to be careful when using magic outside of class, some first year had been hurt.

Hermione rolled her eyes, when she was in first year she would have rather died than be expelled. But yet it always seemed like her Ron and Harry were always in the middle of all the trouble.

This thought brought Hermione's attention towards the fact that her and Ron were becoming more distant every day that their relationship went on.

She sighed, she really did like Ron but she didn't think he felt the same way. She would have to talk to him about it, maybe after dinner.
