Forbidden Love (A Dramione fanfic)

Chapter 7 - saviour?

Hermione's pov

It's been nice being back in classes even though I now I have to concentrate a bit harder because I missed everything we've covered so far this year. It's even nicer Draco not being there. I always feel really cautious when in his presence, especially when I caught him threatening those younger children, I was really worried then that he'd lash out or something but luckily he didn't. Sometimes I just don't understand what's going on inside his head.

Draco's pov

Professor Mcgonagall is pretty much holding me prisoner. It was horrible having to spend all day with that wrinkly old b***h. I can never concentrate on my work because I always feel like she's staring at me and I find it overly creepy. I've only spent two days in this punishment and already I'm going mad. This is definitely the worst one yet. The only time I have away from her and from Dumbledore was before eight when we weren't in lessons or at meals. Luckily it was the weekend today. After breakfast I went outside with Blaise and Goyle, I didn't care if they were making fun of me, it's than talking to no one.

We were outside, sitting not far from the whomping willow, yet not so close that it would attack us. Looking up, I saw Harry, Ron and Hermione sitting by the lake, with their cloaks off due to the immense heat.

Hermione's pov

It was just look like the old days, Ron, Harry and I sitting in the sun by the lake, simply chatting about normal things.

"That essay for Slughorn will take hours" began Ron "it was so much easier when you were in our house Hermione because then I could just copy of you in the common room"

"Yeah, I do miss Gryffindor, but still, it's fun sharing with Luna"

It then went quiet for a minute so I stood up and decided to balance on the rocks that bordered the outside of the lake when suddenly...

Draco's pov

She was falling and to my recollection she couldn't swim. The black lake was deep and filled with a whole variety of monstrous creatures. She wouldn't survive alone.

Harry's pov

Ron and I couldn't swim but tried our best to help her by reaching our arms out for her to grab but it wasn't working.

Hermione's pov

I couldn't breath. I couldn't swim. I tried my best to grab Harry and Ron's arms but they were too far away. Deeper and deeper I was sinking and I was helpless, when suddenly something grabbed me...

Draco's pov

I couldn't just sit and watch her drown. Before I knew it, I was running at top stop speed towards the lake and jumping in. I grabbed her and pulled her back to the shore

Hermione's pov

I was pulled out of the water by a hero who I couldn't quite make out through the coughing and spluttering. I could see a crowd around me now and I could here many voices asking if I was ok but I wan't paying much attention as I was so cold. Madam Pomfrey came out and told me and the amazing hero to come inside and change before we got hypothermia. It wasn't until I was changed and showered that I found who saved me and I was completely shocked at the answer. I don't understand how Draco can act so horrible one minute and then be saving my life. It just made no sense.
