Chapter 13 : I am Sorry

(Hermione's POV)

I woke up early in the morning, and it was the day of the Yule ball. Draco was still avoiding me and at this rate I would be attending the ball alone. I haven't talked to Draco in over a week, and no matter how hard I try he will no listen to me. If I could just get him to understand why I talked to Harry first then things between us will hopefully be okay. I stood up and went to my bathroom to get cleaned up and dried my hair and used magic to style it and do my makeup. I put my school uniform on and went down to the common room where I saw Draco sitting there reading a book. This was my chance to talk to him before class, and hopefully get this figured out.  

"Draco can we please talk." I pleaded.

"There is nothing that you can say that can change what happened. You lied to me and in place of talking to me you went to another man." Draco said trying to remain calm.

"You know that Harry is my best friend. I was scared to tell." I said trying to reason with him.

"What, scared that I would reject you. Such faith in me." Draco snorted.

"That's not how it is, I was just worried that you wouldn't take the news to well, and maybe I was afraid of rejection, but that is normal." I cried.

"What's normal is trusting your husband and telling him everything that concerns you." Draco yelled.

"I try to tell you things, but you always get upset and don't listen to me." I said.

"I do listen when you actually talk to me like you should." Draco yelled once again. 

"I do try to talk you, but you are the one that never listen to anything that I say." I shouted. 

"I am done with this conversation. I am going to eat my breakfast alone and going to class." He said.

"So you aren't going to eat with me?" I asked.

"No I don't want to." Draco said and stormed off. 

Great he still won't listen to reason and now he won't even talk to me. I summoned some breakfast and ate my food quickly and disposed of the leftovers. I went to my classes and nothing made sense in my mind. The classes all seemed to be a blur, even my free periods were nothing but a blur. I tried to pay attention, but my mind keep wandering back to Draco and how I could possibly get him to listen to me. I felt this need to be close to him and to have him to understand what was going on. I was going insane without talking to him. 

Ginny was with me and so was Harry and Ron, they were saying something to me, but I wasn't really listening. In all honesty I couldn't get him off my mind, he plagued my every thought and no matter what I did he was in my mind. Everything in this day was just a blur and even the words my friends say weren't registering in my mind. I looked up and saw that Harry was waving his hand in front of my face trying to get my attention. 

"Hermione, are you okay?" Harry asked, and I sighed.

"Not really if we are being honest here." I replied.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Ginny asked in a concerned voice.

"Draco and I are fighting again and it is because of the fact that I turned to Harry to talk about my problems." I said trying to hold back all of my tears. 

"Why won't he just listen to reason?" Ron asked, speaking for the first time.

"We are talking about Draco, he isn't really known for his listening skills." I said with laugh.
