A Love Worth Fighting For - Dramione [ON HOLD]

Meet ups

Draco's POV

"Draco, there's an owl down here for you! I think you will want to see it right away!" My mother calls from the stairs. I groan as I roll out of bed. Yes it may be 10:00 am but I am recovering from a cold I recently had. I don't really know who would send me a letter. I got accepted back into Hogwarts to my surprise so I shouldn't get any from them. Blaise, Pansy, Theo, and Astoria are all with their families and I saw them last week so they wouldn't send me a letter. The only other person who has sent me a letter since the war was Hermione. She asked to meet up with me after my week in Azkaban was over. My heart skips a beat as I think of her. Yes. I, Draco Malfoy, have a crush on Hermione Granger. And it doesn't bother me. I run down stairs at the thought of her sending me a letter. "Someone's eager for this letter" my mother laughs and continues "are you expecting a letter from someone special?" My mother questions. I roll my eyes. 

"Mother I have no idea who this is from. You know as well as I that there is no one more special in my life than you, father, and my friends." I say and give her a kiss on the cheek as I always do when I come down stairs. I take the letter quickly and don't even bother to see what the owl looked like since I can't remember who belongs to who. One thing I do recognize though... The hand writing... At that moment I realized it really was a letter from Hermione. I quickly read what it says and don't waste a second on writing a reply. Now we wait and see if this will work out or not... 

Hermione's POV

It must be about 30 minutes after I owled Draco when I heard a tap on my window I open it up and recognize the owl as Draco's! I open it to see what he had to say. 

Dear Hermione,

I would love to meet up! Whenever works for you works for me. I have some questions for you and I assume you have some for me as well and I will try my best to answer those questions! Actually, would it work to meet up for lunch today? I'll take you to that muggle sandwich shop you like and then we can go to that coffee shop we met up at earlier this summer. If that works, maybe 11:00 am?  See you soon!

-Draco Malfoy

Aww! I write a simple one word reply (besides my name of course) and send it right away, not really bothering to do much to my appearance except perhaps add a little makeup. 

It's 10:55 so I apparate to a wizard run shop in the muggle world and walk out the door to find Draco already there! "Hey" he says. I smile. Typical Draco. "Hi Draco!" I decide to risk it a give him a hug as I say my greetings. He seems shocked at first but soon he relaxes and hugs me back. We hug for what he probably thought was too long so I pulled away, he was probably just being nice. We walk to the sandwich shop and just make small talk until we get there. 

"So... I never really did say thank you for speaking on behalf of my mother, father, and I. I really do appreciate it. My mother never did anything wrong and she even helped win the war by saying Potter was alive. I want to say thanks to him but I really do still dislike him... Anyway,  thank you so much for speaking for us all. Because of you and Potter, my mother didn't have to spend any time in Azkaban and I only had to stay for a week! My father is only there until January 1st... That's insane! I know he only did what he did to save my mother and I just as I did but he did much worse than I ever did. I hope you know that he really appreciates you as well and can't wait to thank you in person... That is if he can ever talk to you again. He doesn't know how yet but he wants to let you know he has much gratitude for you, especially for saving my mother from any time in Azkaban." I. Am. Speechless. How do you respond to someone when your best friends hated for 7 years and here they are saying thank you as if you had been friends for years? I don't have any words to describe my shock, especially after what he said about his father. So I don the only thing I think seems fit at the moment. I hug him. Like tackle him hug him. What else was I supposed to do?! He literally just made those long days of fighting for the Malfoy family worth the fight in about 2 minutes. How does he do it? He waits a moment and then hugs me back. I can tell he's smiling and is glad he got that off his chest. That's one of the things I love about him. 

Author's note 

Hey guys! So this is the second chapter and I just wanted to take a minute and say how cute Draco and Hermione are like how?! Also did you see that thing Hermione thought in the last sentence? Hint hint *wink* *wink* Next chapter we'll see if she realizes what she's thinking :D Also I promise there will be lots of drama happening when they get back to Hogwarts :O Bye!

Have a good day! Love Ruby Jay <3
