Torn || A Dramione Love Story

Chapter 8:

Tingles ran down his spine when she said his name and he smiled, that was the second time shed thanked him today.

He fell into a peaceful sleep one of the first he had since the war

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

Draco woke up the next early the next morning feeling puzzled as to why he was sleeping under a red quilt rather than a silver and green one.

It took him a while but eventually the events of the previous day suddenly came back to him and he sat up rigidly careful not to wake the sleeping figure next to him.

There was a deep hissing from the opposite end of the bed where a giant lump of fur was rising up and down as it breathed.

Draco recognised this to be Crookshanks, Hermione's squashed faced cat.

He smiled, he had never really had a normal pet such as a cat but always majestic and magnificent beasts which were not loveable, he currently still had his beautiful eagle as his chosen pet.

Carefully stretching his hand forward he stroked Crookshanks soft fur and the hissing sound he was making turned into a comfortable purring and he found himself thinking that Crookshanks fur looked remarkably like Hermione's hair did in first year.

He lay back down as he figured there would be nothing to worry about as no one would be able to come into their dormitories without the password.

He let his mind wander to other thoughts and concerns he had when he stumbled across the memory of Ron hurting Hermione, he felt his face heat up as the anger inside him swelled once again.

How dare he hurt Hermione he thought yet again, she had done so much for him, she had been there for him countless times throughout the year.

If it hadn't been for her he probably wouldn't have even survived the war with his lack of knowledge, when Fred had died Hermione had helped him through it she had stayed with him even though he would have been an emotional wreck, thought Draco ferociously

And to make matters worse Ron hadn't just hook up with any old girl, he had hooked up with the school slut, Lavender Brown.

Draco had once had a go with lavender as every boy had wanted to do at least once during their earlier years.

But he found her repulsive and incredibly annoying as all she did was cling onto you like the muggle object Gladwrap.

She had absolutely no knowledge of anything worth making conversation about and so as a result all she talked about was the gossip which was going around within her group of Gryffindor girls.

She also couldn't help but pick out flaws in every person that walked by and she had a stupid theory about Ravenclaw that anyone in that house was just pretending to be intelligent and were really quite the opposite.

Personally Draco questioned why she was even in Gryffindor as she had such a poor character. But Hermione was not like that at all from what he'd seen over the years.

She was caring and kind even to those who didn't deserve it like himself, she was smart and you could at least talk to her and feel like you getting somewhere with the conversation.

Not to mention that she was also witty and quite Beautiful in Draco's opinion, he often learned many things when he ears dropped on her and Potters conversations.

He couldn't figure out why Ron would want to go with Lavender when he had so much already in Hermione.

But Draco did not know all of the horrors that Hermione was yet to tell him about Ron
