"Granger?"(Dramione Fanfic)

"Granger?"

Kings cross station was bustling with busy people and the trolley carts knocked and banged along the bumpy platforms.Platform6....7....8....9...9 3/4 and then she stopped,she had the time to,so she did.She fell into a reminiscent silence and everything blurred around her and all stood still.A single tear escaped her eyes and rolled down her cheeks slowly,she did not rub it away.

She turned around to go back to take the long walk back to her parents London flat.As she walked,She thought of many things Ron....Harry and Ginny's wedding and many more things and hogwarts and all that was in that single word slipped away and was left at platform 9 3/4.Were it belonged.

She turned the corner of the last platform,platform 6.When she heard a all too familiar voice from behind"Granger?".She turned reluctantly and their he was on the last step that led to the inside train,looking at her."what are you doing here,Malfoy?".He strutted towards her cane in one hand like his father and suitcase in the other.He stopped in front of her a few steps away."i could ask you the same question"he stated but did not ask,he probably didn't care.

"do you have time?"he questioned,she did so she nodded."I could do with a latte,muggles are great for that,unlike the house-elves who were rudely taken away from me" he drawled getting quite annoyed and she knew why"well that's not the way to be going,if you want your previous elves back,now is it?Malfoy" she taunted,Hermione never did the taunting but it felt good in a weird way.They walked together to the pretty cafe across the road.

"Why do you carry that around?" She asked him her eyes pointing to the cane it was balancing on the table leg."reminds me of him,my father that is...."he trailed of trying very hard not to look sad and pained.Hermione's heart tore a little
"I heard about your father,I'm sorry"
"It's okay I have my mother,that's all that matters really" he said taking a sip from his coffee.
"What are you doing here anyway"
"Well Astoria and I are together-he's eyes lit up-and so she made me pick up a few bits for her,for the ball"He said simply but Hermione knew he was happy and she gave him a smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that,Granger?"

"Oh!am well I'm happy for you,I heard that your parents didn't like your choice,but I think you made the right one"

"And how is that now?" He asked confused

"Because it was your own choice" she said bluntly and it lingered in the air for awhile.Draco thought and thought for moments on what that meant,but he already knew and she did too.
"A Malfoy in muggle London"
"What can I say...I'd do anything for her"
"So what brings you back to were you belong,Granger."
"My parents,I found them....finally-wait what!?!....What's were you belong supposed to mean,I belong in the wizard's world just as much as you and any pureblood for that matter!" She exclaimed very shocked by Malfoy's choice in words all of a sudden.

He ignored it wearily" your parents?How did you get their memories back?"

"Your impossible,but if you must know I could only get a few memories back,like my birth,my first word,when I got my hogwarts letter....they practically remembered everything about magic once I got them back,I don't know why"

"It seems that it's all the things that caused you pain or great joy,that stuck in their head,maybe that's it?"

"Maybe so, smart observation,Malfoy"

"Anytime Granger"

They sat in silence for a moment and looked at each other across the small coffee table.How did everything change?
He's eyes were still the same stormy grey,hiding he's emotions quite well which always annoyed Hermione she always wanted to know what he was feeling.She could never tap into it, maybe Astoria could and that was alright with Hermione.

Her eyes were brown.Not like her blood like he used to think.Her blood was like he's red and magic flowed in too.Her eyes were dark yet she was the light.Her eyes were open books and he could see everything was she still with Weaselbee?
Time to break the silence,He looked away,he didn't want to tear his eyes away from her's and Hermione flushed crimson red.
"So how's Weasel then?"he looked back,She'd gone redder if that was even possible,she was cute like a little innocent child he thought.Shut up Draco.Shes Granger,bushy hair,Weaselbee Granger...nothing else.That wasn't true though he knew it.He had changed views and she had changed too.He liked her even more now.As friends that is.

"He's doing good why?"
"You know why"
"I don't"
"Granger do I have to spell it out for you?thought you were the brightest witch of our age,apparently your brain it fell out of your ears"

" At least I'm not a egotistical,pureblooded,cane carrying prince!"She exclaimed and what happened next was uncalled for.Draco began to laugh like a little child,He's laugh was like a contagious disease and Hermione joined in too.They both clutched their sides in pure pain like their ribs weren't big enough to expand to let them catch more air.Even a few people glanced their way and gave them strange looks but,Draco and Hermione were too busy laughing with each other and not at each other like before.

Their laughing had slowly subdued.They both rested in looking at each other in deep thought.Taking in this whole situation.Hermione then panicked"What's the time?my parents they'll be so worried"She looked at the clock above them.It was 5 o'clock they had been here for nearly two hours.Her parents would be getting dinner ready now and then her head turned to look out the window.It was quite dark,she didn't think Malfoy would walk her around the corner to her parents flat.
"Granger,relax the last train isn't until 7 o'clock"He said calmly thinking Hermione had gone bonkers in less than a 2 second ratio.That must be a new record even for her!
"No...no you don't understand"-"understand what?Granger"He cut in quickly,maybe I should take her to hospital.Maybe it's from all the laughing!Me and Granger laughing together...abnormal to say the least.
"I have to walk to my parents house"she explained worryingly looking through the window.
"Ohhh....the muggle world"He said plainly looking into his now empty mug.
"Yeah I better go,Malfoy....it's getting very late" she said before standing up and flinging her bag over her shoulder.
"Granger,you can borrow my broom if you want?"He offered but Granger declined.She didn't know if they were good enough friends to say bye,would it be awkward?Then a question hit her!Why didn't she think of this before?
"Malfoy,why?"
"What do you mean,a Granger?"
"We work in the ministry,we see each other at most breaks,we've crossed paths tonnes of times after hogwarts.I just don't understand?"
It took him awhile to find the right words,he still couldn't find them so he resolved to this"why not"He smirked he's superior smirk and stood up towering her.
"Maybe we could...do this again"she asked nervously as she blushed red.

He began to chuckle and her face dropped and she felt a pang in her heart.how was she so stupid?its Malfoy for Merlin sake."Forget it-"of course,Granger"He interrupted her saying his answer finally "What?" They said in unison, he didn't catch what she said and she couldn't believe what he said.

"ill see you around,Granger"

And he did.Time after time again.
