Chapter 13

Realization

Draco watched Ron leave the Head common room, anger and hate swirling deep inside of him. Looking back the unconscious woman in his arms, he pulled her body closer to him and brushed a stray piece of hair away from her eyes.

“Hermione, baby, please wake up,” He whispered as a single tear made it way down his flushed cheek. Hastily brushing away that tear he picked Hermione’s limp form into his arms and carried her up the stairs towards his bedroom. Carefully he placed her on top of his green and black bed sheets before pulling the comforter over her so she didn’t get a chill. Draco pulled out his wand and magicked a bowl of warm water and a cloth. Dipping the warm cloth into the water he began to wipe the dried blood away from her forehead. It was when he did this did her eyelashes flutter open. Confused she looked around, before clutching her head as pain exploded behind her eyes.

“What happened?” She asked him, Draco carried on wiping her forehead with the warm damp cloth before he answered.

“Weasley hit you,” He answered tersely, Hermione gasped.

“No, he wouldn’t have done that,” Hermione said shaking her head furiously, not wanting to believe what he had revealed. It was only when her hand touched the side of her face did she wince as the pain invaded her cheek. Draco took out his wand and made a bowl of ice and a towel appear; carefully he put two of the ice cubes into the towel and slowly pressed it to the red mark on her cheek bone.

“What happened?” Hermione asked as she winced in pain as he pressed the cold cloth to her cheek. Draco signed not really knowing how to explain the events that had just happened.

“He came in and saw us, he screamed at me and then I punched him, for making you cry. Then it got all out of proportion and you tried to pull him back and he just lashed out and punched you.” Draco said sighing then looking back into her dark honey colored eyes.

“I lashed out, I’m sorry I was mad. God he hurt you Hermione, I just saw red and punched him.” Draco admitted, looking away guiltily. Hermione let a small smile play across her face as she watched him.

“Thank you,” She whispered to him, Draco’s head snapped back looking confused.

“What?” He asked

“Thank you for admitting you were wrong, it means a lot to me. I know you didn’t mean to do it and I’m glad you defended my honour,” Hermione said a giggle escaping her mouth, Draco smirked at her humour.

“Anytime, princess,” He said before dipping her head and capturing her lips into a kiss, Hermione clutched his head to hers prolonging the kiss.

“I need to talk to him Draco.” She said to him seriously, Draco gave a sneer but nodded understandingly. Hermione smiled and pressed a soft kiss onto his lips.

“You owe me,” He murmured before chuckling and pressing his lips harder into Hermione.

_~*~_~*~_

Harry glanced for the forth time at the clock, then around behind him. Where the hell is Ron and Hermione he asked himself.

“Mr Potter!” Professor McGonagall screamed at him, Harry jumped when he heard her scream his name.

“Yes Professor?” He squeaked, Professor McGonagall just tutted and sighed and turned her attention back to the board to carry on teaching.

Harry sighed and tried to focus on what Professor McGonagall was saying, but took a chance to look behind him only to see 2 vacant tables where Hermione and Ron should have been sitting.

“Where are you guys?” Harry whispered to himself.


_~*~_~*~_

Ron sat down on the bed and began to rub away the tears that had fallen. Sniffing, he looked towards the nearest clock telling him he was already 25 minutes late for his Transfigurations class with McGonagall.

“Fuck.” Ron muttered as he stood up and headed towards the bathroom. Guilt sat heavy on his shoulders as he thought about what he had just done, but what he could get his head wrapped around was why the hell Hermione was kissing old ferret face? Ron’s mind concluded that she must have been forced into that situation thanks to Malfoy. Yeah, She wouldn’t kiss Malfoy intentionally right?

“Yeah right, Hermione kissing Malfoy” Ron snorted then looked into the large mirror in the bathroom. His eyes were puffy; he cheek flushed bright crimson and his red hair scruffy, groaning he looked at his knuckles which were bright red for where he had hit Hermione.

“Oh Merlin,” Ron whimpered before burying his head into his hand, ashamed to see his face at the moment due to what he had just done to his best friend.

_~*~_~*~_

“Oh my god! Draco we are soo late for lesson!” Hermione screeched as she looked at the clock, frantically she got up and began rushing around. She only stopped when Draco huffed and picked her up and put her over his shoulder.

“MALFOY!” She screamed as she was hoisted over his shoulder, Draco had a firm grip on her legs and waist to make sure he didn’t drop her and made his way out of her room and down the stairs.

“Let me down!!” She huffed as she wailed around.

“I suggest you stop, unless you want me to drop you down the stairs,” Draco said sternly as he made his way down the stone stairs. Hermione immediately stopped after his comment and blew a piece of hair out of the way as he continued to make his way down towards the common room. Draco smiled and smacked her playfully on the arse.

“Hey!!” Hermione yelped as she felt his hand collide with her left arse cheek. Draco let out a laugh as he made his way towards the black leather couch.

“That’s sexual harassment Mr Malfoy, I should report you.” Hermione said in a serious tone, but with a tone of amusement under it.

“It’s not sexual harassment if you wanted it,” Draco replied huskily and gently placed onto the black leather couch. Hermione smiled up at him as he took care of her. He perched on the side of the couch and examined her head again where the cut was.

“I’m taking you to Madame Pomfrey.” Draco said seriously, Hermione moaned in protest.

“What? Draco, no I don’t need to go, I am perfectly fine.” Hermione protested, but gave up when she realised she wasn’t go to win this against him.

“Fine!” She said finally giving up as she watched him cross his arms over his chest and narrowed his steel grey eyes onto her.

_~*~_~*~_

By the time Hermione had visited Madame Pomfrey and visited all her teachers to explain for her and Draco’s absence and catch up with the work they had missed it was already dinner time. As she walked in her stomach gave a growl, laughing she headed towards the Gryffindor table where Ginny and Lavender were already, deep in conversation.

“Hey” Hermione greeted them, both girls looked up and smiled, but it was Ginny who noticed the deep red mark across her cheek bone.

“What happened?” Ginny gasped as she saw the forming bruise on her cheek, Hermione’s hand came up to her cheek and nodded her head as she sat down next to Ginny.

“Oh nothing, I’m fine I just hit the side of my face on table when I fell over a pair of my shoes, thus knocking my self out and having a shiner on my face as war wounds,” Hermione said giving the girls a soft smile.

“Are you sure?” Ginny asked sceptically, “Because if it was Malfoy, all you have to do is say the words and Harry and Ron can beat the living shit out of him.” Ginny announced, Hermione smiled at her friends concern.

“No, really I’m fine. Actually it was Dr- Malfoy who found me knocked out,” Hermione grinned sheepishly “He took me to Madame Pomfrey and made sure I didn’t have a concussion or anything.” Hermione revealed, Ginny frowned still sceptical of Hermione’s reply.

“Are you sure?” Ginny asked a final time, Hermione nodded and turned here attention to the mouth watering food in front of her, her stomach growling appreciatingly as she began to pile up the food into her empty plate.


Ron headed into towards the Great Hall, needing to talk to Hermione. Needing to make things alright again between them, even if it meant begging for forgiveness.

Ron’s eyes located her the instant he walked through the wooden doors, she was sitting next to Ginny but her eyes……her eyes were somewhere else. Following where her eyes were Ron’s eyes widened, her gaze was directly at Malfoy and for some strange reason they seemed to be making eye contact, but the odd thing was that Malfoy didn’t have his usual sneer imprinted on his face as he looked at Hermione, it was soft of a …..smile. Ron had to look again, just to make sure, Malfoy? Smiling? That couldn’t be right could it? It was then he looked at Hermione who was blushing profusely, and her eyelashes fluttering seductively at him while a small smile played on her lips.

“What the fuck?” Ron asked himself. It was then everything clicked into place. This morning, Malfoy hadn’t forced himself onto Hermione, no, they were kissing . And the other night when he had kissed her and she had pushed him away, it was because she was with him.

Hermione, Gryffindor Princess was fucking Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Pureblood Prince.
