It's been a few days since Hermione officially moved into their dorm. Things are going pretty well between the two. They are being civil and friendly to each other which really helped with their situation. Doing their homework together, talking in the class, patrolling the castle at the curfew were the things they did alone.
And unknowingly Hermione was getting drawn closer to Draco. She felt like a true lioness that she was with the snake. Draco had finally grown onto her. But complications start when Draco gets a message from Dark Lord about a mission.
A mission which would be highly impossible for any 16 year old. Murdering his headmaster. Even the evilest of the evil would not be able to do such thing.
Frustrations,stress,anxiety,anger occupied Draco. Being the boy who had no choice and support at all was difficult. A year was all he had.
Draco's pov:
Today Mother and Father wanted to meet me urgently. I went at the black lake where we decided to meet.
"Draco,how are you doing my dear?" Mother asked hugging me. "We don't have time for this Cissa, just get at the point!" Father said in a raging voice. My mother sighed.
"Draco, once the dark lord finds out that you are destined to be with Granger, we will be considered as traitors... We will be killed without thinking. And even if he decided to spare us, he won't do that to Hermione. She is a famous muggleborn.. We cannot even make up a lie about that. We don't know what to do about that son. We are in grave danger. The situation would have been so much better if she would have atleast been a half blood..." And my mother started crying.
"Mother, don't cry... We will find a solution somehow." I assured her in a false confidence. Because deep down I knew that this was messed up.
"We need to talk to Dumbledore about this.. He cannot harm you until you are at hogwarts.. But he is the mission.. We will be betraying him." My father said running his hands through his long hair. "You go back Draco until we sort this out." My mother said planting a kiss on my forehead.
I reached our dorm and came face to face with Hermione. I wanted to hug her,cry in her arms, tell her the whole problem and get her help to make everything right but I have troubled her enough. She is so innocent, she did not deserve to be dragged into this mess. She does not deserve to be killed. I can never forgive myself. Just related to me now gets her in trouble.
"Draco? What are you thinking?" She asked smiling. Should I tell her? I mean sooner or later we will have to tell her. Plus she got brains.she might get a solution. Or she might talk to filthy potter about this. No I can't make her do this. She has already beared enough. She doesn't need to know until Mother and Father sort this out. I quickly changed my mood.
"You never answered my one question." She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. I laughed. "What question? I mean you probably ask something everyday.." She trailed looking in my eyes.
"Well let me give you a clue..um.. The first ever question I asked to you this year?" I asked holding in a smile and raising an eyebrow. She looked deep in the thought until her cheeks turned pink.
Gosh Ilove her. "The hogsmead one?" Ahe avoided my gaze and looked down. "Yeah, I mean tomorrow's weekend so I thought this will be a perfect opportunity.. You don't have plans right?" I asked quickly.
"No, I um.. I will go with you.." I chuckled. "So tomorrow at six.. Be ready.. Wear something formal because baby you will be experiencing one of the finest nights of your life." I said smirking and kissed her cheek and went into my room.
Hermione's pov:
How does he do that? I stood there dumbfounded. I shook my head and walked into my room. I instantly started thinking about what to wear tomorrow. You don't need to impress, he already loves you, remember?
I walked towards my wardrobe. You are such a tomboy Hermione, no wonder nobody noticed you before. I sighed looking at my clothes. I just have a red lacy dress which was too much for the evening and a navy blue one which I was not sure about. Do I need to go dress shopping? I should borrow something of Ginny's. She is going to lecture me so much on this.
I looked at the clock. Its 7 pm. I should just go dress shopping. I quickly changed into something presentable and apparated into diagon alley. I went into Madame Malkins shop.
"How may I help you Miss?" The woman at the counter asked. "I just want a simple yet elegant dress for an evening.. Not too pricey.." I trailed off looking at some in the hangers. "Don't worry Miss, we have all sorts.. Any colours in mind?"
What would draco like? I'm not in for bold colours... Maybe should choose a lighter shade. "Umm... A light pink or peach would be great." I looked at the lady.
"Yes, that would look good on you.. Just wait until I gather all the dresses." She brought all the dresses and I started looking at them, hoping that I would find one quickly. Then a beautiful dress caught my eye. It was an embroidered light pink skater dress.
This should be fine and plus it was in my budget. I tried it on and was really satisfied with how it looked. This dress was perfect. I thanked her and paid her. Shopping really makes a woman happy,doesn't it? I apparated outside the castle and rushed to my dorm before anyone sees a bag in my hand. I can't wait for tomorrow. ---- Her dress>>
