"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY COME BACK HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT OR I WILL HEX YOUR SORRY ARSE INTO OBLIVION!" Hermione yelled, holding back tears, clenching her fists.
Ron, who was hiding behind a stack of books, mumbled, "Mione I'm sorry. I'm really sorry! I messed up!"

Hermione swished her wand fiercely, changing the colour of Ron's hair to a bright lime. Ron cringed, "Bloody hell He-"
Before Ron could finish his sentence, Hermione stormed out of the common room.

She just burst into tears the moment she stepped out, and wiped them again and again but they just wouldn't stop.
She wasn't aware of where she was going, she just kept walking towards nowhere in particular.

The only thing that brought her back to her senses, was bumping into a certain gray eyed blonde.
"Christ don't you have eyes, Granger?" He quipped, and Hermione quickly brushed her tears, hoping Malfoy hadn't seen them.

But he had.
He frowned, "Uh-" not really sure what to say.
As if on cue, tears started falling down her cheeks again, and she tried to walk away, not wanting to be seen by Malfoy at her low points, but he grabbed her and dragged her inside an empty classroom.

"Hey! Stop!" Hermione attempted to free herself from his grasp but he held her tight.
"Not until you tell me what happened." He said, calmly.
"Why the f*ck do you care?"
"When did you start cursing?" He asked, surprised.
She kept quiet and he released her from his grip, but blocked the door.

"Granger." He said her name in an authoritive voice, sending chills down her spine.

"Malfoy." She retorted.

He rolled his eyes. Why does she have to be so difficult? He moved closer to her, making sure she wasn't uncomfortable with that, and sighed.

"I'm trying, Granger. I really am. I was a terrible person, but I am changing. I've apologized to you, Potter, and even Weasley, and I want to at least be civil. So if I see someone I bloody regret tormenting all my life crying, excuse me for trying to help her out!"

Silence followed his words and he lost hope that she didn't hate him anymore.
"No."
"What?"
"You were not a terrible person. You just needed your father's approval. It was his fault. Not yours. And I've accepted your apology, so, well, my point is, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be mean." She sighed, looking Draco in his eyes.

"Ron was cheating on me." She finally said.

Draco's eyes widened, as more tears spilled out of hers.
He reached out and cupped her face, wiping her tears. "Hermione, he's a d*ck. I'm sorry this happened, but don't cry over him. He doesn't deserve you, let alone your tears."

"Why would he do that?"

She looked so sad, Draco just wanted to scoop her in his arms and reassure her that everything would be okay, but he couldn't.

One step at a time.

"Because an idiot is what he is. He's crazy to let you go like that. You're smart, beautiful, badass, and kind. You're every guy's dream girl, Granger. Don't cry over one who didn't treat you the way you deserved to be treated. You're a goddamn queen and that's how he should have treated you."

Hermione was suddenly aware of how close they were, and how Draco had just called her beautiful. Her heart beat quickened, and she wasn't crying anymore.

"Draco-"
"Hmm?" Draco mumbled absent mindedly as he lost himself in her eyes.
"Thank you."

Malfoy blinked at her, unsure of what to do next, but before he could ponder more, Hermione pulled him closer and hugged him. He, on instict, kissed her on her head, and she nuzzled her head into his chest.

One step at a time.
