Not letting go

Chapter5: Friends?

DRACOS POV:
After my journey to find granger I was relieved I found her. Shaking my head to leave my thoughts i started to stare at my ceiling with my thoughts returning right back to me 'why do I care if grangers ok?' I thought to myself some more 'why did I get nervous when I was around her?!' After that thought I smiled ear to ear. "I am I-in love with hermione granger" I stated as if there was someone else there. Watching my fan circle on the ceiling in my room as I wonder why? How can one person leave such an impact on me just by looking at them!? Hermione probably hates me anyways although she did really seem appreciative that I comforted her.

*flashback*
"My pleasure"

"Oh um I better be going" she started "my kids will be wondering where I am"

"Oh yea for sure"

She started to walk away until I decided I wasn't gonna let go of her this time.

"Hey! Granger wait up" I said jogging until I was right by her side

"Yes?"

"Can I-I...get y-your number-r you know so when can s-stay in t-touch" I say nervously

"Yea here" she says as she starts to get a piece of paper and begins writing her number down until she hands it to me. 'She looks so.. so pretty' I thought as I saw her writing and being concentrated her hair strings dangling in her face.

"Uh here you go thank you again!" She says as she hands me the piece of paper and walks away until I can't see her

"No granger thank you" I said to myself with a whisper.

*end of flashback*

Wow. She really looked pretty! Ugh what is she doing to me! "Why are you doing this hermione Jean granger! Why?!" I scream as I hit my fists on each side of my bed.

Hermiones POV:

Wow. Ma-dracos really changed since hogwarts. No 'mudblood' or 'bookworm!' Or anything mean! Oh and his eyes. They were so mesmerizing to look at.

"Mom! Where's my coat!" I shake my head leaving my thoughts. I hop off my bed and walk into the living room of the small flat I bought for me and my kids. Today was the day my kids go back to hogwarts. Everyone was stressing this morning rummaging through suitcases and get pets ready. And no call or letter from Ron. Whatever! I never ever wanted to see that bloody bastard again, especially if he's not even going to try to explain himself! I once again shake my head leaving my thoughts behind remembering my daughters question.

"Sweetheart! Rosie it's right here!" I shout as she runs down stairs.

"Thank you mum!" Rose says with a toothy grin. "HUGO! WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" She shouts at the top of her lungs

I chuckle thinking how much rose is like me. She talks like me. She walks like me. She acts like me. She is practically the mini me!

"Ok! Rosie jeez!! I'm ready let's go!" Hugo shouts as he finally made his way to the doorway.

"Be sure to write to me!" I shout as my kids, Rose and Hugo board the express to hogwarts "both of you!"

"Yes mum!!" Rose and Hugo shout back in unison as the train leaves

"Hey!" I flinch than turn around to see draco standing there and I let out a sigh of relief I knew who it was. He looks so amazing. We both start to bore our eyes into on another's me looking into his big stormy grey eyes.

"Oh hey! Scorpius probably just left I assume" I say with a small grin on my face

"Yea" he says as I start to walk away I wave and give a small smile before leaving until I stop and turn my heels at the sound of his voice once again speaking to me "Hey! Granger! Wait! Do you umm maybe want to get some coffee?" He asks with a slight tone of nervousness in his voice.

"I would like that" I say as I walk towards him. Walking to the nearest coffee shop there is a silence between us as if we were just two strangers walking beside each other. I couldn't help but get a few quick glances at him, making sure he didn't notice I took another look at him and examined his features. His big stormy eyes boring into the rim of his eyes being a slight dark silver.  His lips...they look so soft and warm. He looks so calm. So peaceful.

Suddenly he brakes the silence by opening the door which jingled every time you open it.

"So hermione" he starts as I sip my warm tea brought by the waiter about ten minutes ago. "I-I um read about what happened in the daily prophet and-"

"And Ron cheated on me" I said cutting him off knowing that something along the lines I just said was going to come out of his mouth one way or another.

"I- yea. I'm really sorry, so how have you been? I know that was two months ago" he says with a sympathetic tone and smile.

"Im doing really good actually! I got a job...a muggle job" I laugh knowing that he would never ever consider getting a muggle job. "I work in a fashion store just across the street actually, maybe sometime I can show you" I hoped he wouldn't decline my offer.

"Yea, I would really like that" he said with a smile. "So how are Rose and Hugo dealing with this?" He says breaking the slight quietness between us.

I explain to him about how Hugo isn't taking it to well, and how Rose is just like me and helping me through this as though she was my mom. We talked and talked about everything and how he is doing and his job, apparently he is a healer and has been ever since he got out of hogwarts.
——-

"Thank you for coffee draco" I say smiling and unlocking my door to the flat where me and my kids live "you, wanna come inside for bit?" I offer

"You know what? Sure" he says with a big smile plastered across his face

We both ended taking about Ron and how much of a bastard he is. I talk about how he hasn't owled or called in two months and that I didn't care considering I wanted nothing more than to just move on on my life and leave him in my past.

"Ok well I better get going I have to be up early in the morning for work" he said with disappointment in his tone.

"Ok, we'll talk to you soon?" I say walking to the door. He was now outside of the flat.

"Of course" he said with a genuine smile across his face and followed his words with a quick kiss on my cheek making me blush. Than he was gone before I closed the door.

———-

Laying in my bed I just smiled at the thought of draco kissing my cheek earlier. 'How did a simple kiss on the cheek make butterfly's enter my stomach and swirl around a million times?' With that I fell asleep.
