Why Me?

Chapter 12

(Draco's PoV)

(7 Minutes Earlier)

"How is she?" Blaise asked, sitting beside me on her bed.

"Not sure. She hasn't moved."

"Is there anything we can do to help her? Or speed up the process?"

"I'm not sure." I answer truthfully.

"Well, try kissing her."

"Blaise, I said I' n- wait what?" Did he really just say that?

"Kiss her." Yes. He really just said that.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, now do it before I change my mind."

"Well, here goes nothing." I say as I lean down and kiss her. As soon as I did, her eyes open and she springs up and runs over to the wall. Blaise and I rise and raise our hands with our palms facing her. It was Blaise that spoke first.

"Hermione, it's me, Blaise. Your twin." she responded by giving her a curt nod then throwing a fleeting look towards the door, and I knew she wanted to run. My turn.

"Hermione? It's me, Draco. Will you please calm down and come here?" She complied and sat on her bed. 'Maybe she still is my mate.' I thought as Blaise and I sat on her bed, me closer to her. Her head shot up.

"Hermione? What's wrong?" Blaise asked, his voice laced with worry.

"Nothing." She said, shaking her head. Something's not right. I can tell.

"I know you're lying Hermione," I said, "good luck lying to a veela."

"I'm a veela too, Draco. I'll take my chances." She said, glaring at me.

"Do you know who your mate is?"

"Yes." We waited for her to elaborate.

"Care to share?" Blaise asked her.

"My mate is.. Nope, not telling." I knew Blaise was going to pester her to get a name, but she was saved when everyone else entered. Perfect. Just perfect. They started bombarding her with questions like 'Are you ok?' and 'What happened?' She cringed at the latter. She shot Blaise and I a look that plainly said 'Help'. Hah, that's not gonna happen. She is one her own. We'd help her if she told us who her mate is. We both shot her a look that said 'No.' She shot us a glare that had us both taking a step back. It was a very well mastered death glare.

"I stubbed my toe and got a really bad cramp at the same time. I bent over double and knocked myself out on the counter by accident." I have to give it to her. If I didn't know the truth, I would believe her. She came up with a brilliant lie on the spot. Of course they bought it.

"What time is it?"

"11:45. Why?" Astoria asked.

"I just wanted to see how long I was out and to see if we could finish the sleepover?"
"OF COURSE!!!!" We all yell at the same time.

"Sorry, damn, I like me eardrums in one piece."

"Sorry, lets go! I want to see if Slytherin parties are all that they are chalked up to be." Ginny said, grabbing Hermione's arm and pulling her up from her seat on her bed. Blaise and I both shot her a loot that said 'this conversation isn't over.' She just rolled her eyes as if to say 'Oh, I know.' Ginny pulled her out the door and they both ran back to the room where we all are going to spend the night. This should be interesting.

"Two minutes head start?" Blaise asked, giving me a sidelong glance. I nod.

Interesting indeed.

Hey guys, this chapter was in honor of my birthday that was Thursday. I'm now 14, and I plan on uploading a couple more chapters as soon as I have them ready. I have them handwritten and all need to transfer them to my notes. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
