Chapter 9: We can do it together.

Our happiness in this world depends on the affections we are able to inspire.
- Duchess Prazlin


“You are a very amusing person Granger.”

“I am not pulling your wand.”

“Well I do think you are a very funny lady.”

“Only you will find the situation amusing. “

“To be honest at first I tought you were trying to make me laugh; now I see you are very worry about this whole major problem.”

“You still think is funny, don´t you?”

“Yes, I do.”


Pansy, good Pansy is laughing at me. Can you believe she is crying…Wait because she can´t stop laughing.


“Would you stop that?”

“No, Granger it´s really a very funny history. You will see it as it is with time.”

My bad I know, of all the people I could have told about IT I told Pansy Parkinson. The thing is I can´t tell Ginny she will kill me. Harry I am afraid I will disappoint him and Ron will kill Malfoy.


“Care to tell me when I will ever find Draco Malfoy kissing me funny?”

I really did my best to sound annoyed but I failed miserably.


“When the hearing is over and you are done with Draco and Narcissa. Ten You will find everything funny.”

“I don´t think so. But I will find peace in my mind thank you.”

“By the way. I´m only assuming that you haven´t read the paper this lovely morning?”
I turn to look at Pansy when she said that. Because you see she is in my opinion a very annoying, smart (had to think about it and she really is) honest and beautiful woman. But at the same time she has this way of telling things that make me to want to rip her head off of her body and throw it by the large and ridiculous window at the new Malfoy Home.

“No.” The less talk I do the better. I think most Slytherins are snakes and can find a double mining in every word that comes from your mouth.

“Well, you must. They are only and purely talking about you, Narcissa and Draco.”
I made a sneer and talk ever so camly to Pansy.

“Let them talk, is all they can do. They know nothing about Narcissa or Draco. I myself know nothing but what they told me. And is not like I´m about to jump into marrying the Prince Evil.”

“Prince Evil?”

Dear Lord, The Prince himself said it and now I have two snakes by my side.


“Hermione dear…”

Back to Pansy crying her laugh off and Draco smirking at me. Why do I have to be in a house full of evil people always laughing? (Minus Narcissa, I actually like her)

“I´m sorry Draco I was not talking about you.” Is all I can say but I fell like choking my own saliva and my throat is closing every minute he is looking at me with questioning eyes.

“I know you were. Marriage is something I look forward to avoid. Now Hermione don´t forget you have a private meeting tonight.”

And just as he enter the room he left. Leaving a very red in the face Hermione and a very entertained Pansy Parkinson.

***********************************************************************************
I had a meeting today to which I was late. Imagine I had to go and tell the Minister that aside from the favor I already asked him I have another one. A favor that will cause more issues than what he needs right now.
It´s the only good thing about being me. Hermione Granger, smart witch, helped Harry Potter at the War. Top student…and also the girl that erased her parents memories and send them to live to another place very far away from the magical London that could very easily track them down. Yes is a great pleasure to be me right now. The Minister agreed to help (Again) and will do everything do bring Mom and Dad home.

He never forgot to tell me it will be money involved and that I will of course have to pay for everything. Time to talk to Malfoy.


Narcissa went to Andromeda´s house. Said she needs to fix and mend unfinished business. I understand her honestly. And just like she has unfinished business to mend and fix I have my own business to attend.
The hearing is next week. We have everything ready (only for Draco´s memories) we´ll stop the healing ritual on Monday giving time for Narcissa to look sick and ill. Harry has his speech ready too. And I have the presentation set up, it only needs the final touches with the memories. That´s why we are having a meeting. So business like… Yes I have to see and review the memories before I can save Malfoy´s wand.

The room is ready, the pensive is sat on the table and the elf took the liberty to made snacks. Funny little elf she is. I hear the door opened and Draco walking slowly to the center of the room. Since a week ago that he kissed me I can´t stop thinking about it. I even had some outrageous dreams…my dreams are very vivid as well I can feel Draco’s lips kissing me all over me and his soft skin touching mine.

“Hermione. Hello I hope your afternoon meeting went well.”

“It did, thank you. We can talk about it after we finish with your memories. I have everything set up so we can just start. And remember Malfoy you have to show only what you want and have to.”

He nods his understanding and made his way to the pensive. I am only here to make sure he is not cheating and the final result is not a fraud. I still don´t trust his Slytherin head.

He is closing his eyes and slowly pulling his memories from his mind. I can see he is looking at them and the pain from some is showing in his handsome face. His is handsome even I can say that. His eyes I think are what make him beautiful and different from the rest of humanity.

He´s over before I had the chance to stop staring. He chuckles and is my cue to wake from my daydreaming.

“You can take a look now.” I know for experience that pulling your mind and forced it to reveal you most private thoughts is tiresome.

So I take my first look at the memories.

Draco must take the mark. But he is so young.

Draco must kill the Head Master. But he is not a killer.

Draco must find the way to let the Dark Lords servants to the castle. But he
doesn´t want to.

Draco has to Kill Dumbledore. But he is not capable of killing.


“Is the highest honor son, you will have glory and power and if you will fullfil his wishes. Draco don´t you want to make the Our Dark Lord happy?”
“Does he have other feelings the hate?”
“Lucius he is only a boy.”


Draco has the way to let in the Death Eaters to Hogwarts.


Draco knows Potter knew. But the mudblood thinks otherwise.

Draco is hurt by Potter. And he has more pain.

Draco is about to kill a human. And he doesn´t like the feeling


It´s over now. Snape did it. I am not a killer...but I´m not a good man either

Draco wonders where are Potter, He red and the Muggle with magic.

Now Draco knows. Granger is screaming like a Banshee.

Aunt Bella is heartless. Am I too?


Draco´s mom lied to the Dark Lord. And now his family is together again.

Potter killed the halfblooded bastard. And maybe we can be happy.

Draco´s wand is like joke. Can do magic but only so little.

Draco is talking to Granger. His Mother needs her...So does Draco.

Draco is happy. His Mother looks healthy and so beautiful. Granger is a mess.

Draco talks to Pansy. Now is getting everything they are doing.

Draco is making love. To a cinnamon colored girl.

Draco is kissing Hermione. And his heart feels full.


When I left my eyes from the pensive I can feel Draco’s eyes on my own.

“Do you really think I´m a mess?”

Is the only thing I can ask. Because I saw more than I ever asked for.


“Only some days. Funny how my mother looks better when you look your worst.”


“Funny.” My Good Lord he knows. I did not want him to know.


“Why you or my Mother never told me. I can take you place you know.”


“That´s one of the reasons why.”


“One of the reasons, so there are more?”


“Yes. You already want to pay me. Imagine if you knew... well now you know.”


“I was never talking about money.”


I felt my face hitting the floor. I do need money now. I have some saving but I don´t think is enough for what I need. And he saw it.


“Do you need ... money?”


“Now I do. I was going to tell you everything, I am.”


“How much?”


“Don´t you want to know why I need the money?”


His face is very telling. He does not need a reason his love for his mother will make him do everything and beyond.


“Do you need a reason to help someone that has done more for your own mother that you can possibly think she will?”


I have no words. This is a first.


“Do you need reason to help someone you care for?”


I have to see his face now. If I don´t I will miss the way he is looking at me. And for some odd reason I love the way Malfoy looks at me in time like this. Desire, passion and care. He does care about me, some way.


“I thought so. Hermione I know I can´t find a way to pay you for everything you have done so far. And you are not even over with.”


Why is he walking towards me. Is he about to kiss me again. I can die happy right here and right now. Please don´t stop. I said it at aloud. And he is not stopping thank you.


Stop now. I can see the memory in my head. The girl he was making love to It was me. Don´t stop it was lovely and glorious.


We need air. We have to stop. We have to breathe. We need to. We need this. We need each other. Now I see it. I need it passion in my boring life and even if I can feel a headache coming its way I need him. Now.


“I need you.” He said it. He needs me too. I know...


“But we have to stop.”

I want to ask why. But I guess now he can all but read me as an open book.


“Nor the time or the place. Not that I don´t want to... do it. I do.”


I only nod and we start walking, holding hands? Well we just kissed but somehow it feels more private to hold hands.


“Where is Mother? I have seen her since this morning.”


“She went to you aunts house.”


“Why on earth will she needs to go to Bella´s house?”


I laugh, he doesn´t think Andromeda as his family.


“Granger why are you ...stop it now.”


“Did you only have a crazy bitch psycho horrid waste piece of human as an aunt?”


“Language Granger...tsk tsk.” But he is smiling and is better that smirking.


“Andromeda...Tonks, you mother´s sister. Muggleborn lover and grandmother of Teddy Lupin? Rings a bell?”


I can clearly see his understanding now. Family and his is small.


“Draco, can I ask you something?” I say carefully because I don´t want to ruin the moment.


“How much money do you need?” And he did.


“It´s not about that...it´s something I saw in your memories.”


He let go of my hand I knew I shouldn´t have asked him.
But the way he is staring at me makes me wonder what he´s thinking and feeling, and my head hurts like someone hammered a thousand times.


“Ask away dear Granger but maybe you won´t like the answer.”


“In your memories I saw you making...”


“Yes?”


“Well having...” Why can´t I say it? I feel my face heat up like water in a sunny day.


“Having?” He is evil, he is enjoying my displeasure. Great!


“You were making love...who is she?”


“My dear Hermione I think you already know how you are.”


I knew that. He is walking away again. He always does that. The pretty bastard.


“See you in half an hour.” I should have looked confuse because he said next: “Dinner, remember a meal you eat at night.”

***********************************************************************************

Dinner was an awkward affair for me I felt like burning the whole time. Due to Draco´s looks, due to the massive headache I had.

But otherwise a pleasant meal. We talked for hours and we found out we like some
things alike. Draco can enjoy a good book but he is not a vivid reader. He is into classic music like me. He hated the pumpkin pies on Friday at Hogwarts like me; we agreed it was the only day they did not make a good job at the kitchens.


While I still think his mother is more kind than beautiful he thinks she is the most gorgeous woman to ever set foot in this planet.


We have interests in common and we both want to go away for a year to discover the world.


“We can do it together. It will better than going alone.” Big one and good too Malfoy I thought.


“Do you really want to go with me?” I had to ask. I don´t like being play but I think Draco Malfoy is playing with me now. If he is I will enjoy the game too. “Yes I do, it will much better to have someone to talk to, to share the most beautiful places in the world. I will love if you can come with me.”

I have a lot to think about and I want to call it a nigh so I told him. But he stops me and kissed me good night. But it did not stop there. He only stops when I need it him the most.

“You are not ready.” I´m not but I will. He better be as well.

***********************************************************************************


My night was not a peaceful one I had so much to think that my head only hurt more and even I felt my eyes red and dry because I couldn’t close them for so long. I need to talk to Pansy again. She is the only one I can go to. Even though I trust Narcissa I can´t tell her I want to do her son. And they will never understand the need I feel. The need to feel alive. I was in a different kind of pain when I first got the Malfoy Manor almost a month ago.

Only one month has change a lot.

My life has change in one month.
