Draco was getting all the things he needed together and had changed his clothes. He had everything he needed for his trip... 'Everything except Hermione' he thought.

He decided that when Hermione didn't answer him back when he had said he loved her, that she doesn't love him. So he was off by himself to find that house and figure out what was going on. He knew he had to go, he could feel it, but he also had a feeling that Hermione needed to go to but obviously she wouldn't go with him. Draco decided that she would be safer at the castle by herself other than going with him anyway.

This is when Hermione finally found him. “There you are...”

She trailed off as she saw that he was just starting to walk out the front doors of the school with all of his things packed onto his body in one way or another.

“Where do you think you're going? Especially without me! Get back here!”

Draco turned around and gave her a weird look, like 'what the hell, you have problems' kind of look. Then he realized what she was wearing and couldn't help but to smirk a little bit. Hermione had just gotten out of the shower, obviously, and all she had on was a very small, thin robe. It was like a silky fabric and it was short enough that if she bent over just a little he would be able to see some private areas.

The front wasn't closed all the way up because the tie around her waist wasn't tight enough to keep the whole thing together. “Draco, where are you going?”

“Oh, uh... I have somewhere that I need to go, after I permanently install this image into my brain.”

Hermione looked at herself and realized that more of her was showing than she thought and realized what exactly the image was that he wanted to save. “No, Draco. I need to tell you something. Please, come back up stairs with me.”

Draco wasn't sure what was going on. Earlier that day Hermione was so mad that she could've killed a whole zoo with the looks she was sending out in his direction. Now she's asking him to go back upstairs with her, it made no sense. Draco sighed and looked Hermione in the eyes then asked, “You're not going to hex me or anything are you?”

Hermione looked down and laughed. She looked back up at him and answered, “No silly, I just wanted to talk to you that's all. So come on.”

Draco still wasn't sure if it was safe to follow her but he figured that whatever happens he probably deserves for what he did earlier, even if it was an accident. So he walked over to her to follow her up the stairs but Hermione went towards the back of him and slightly pushed him to go up the stairs in front of them. “Draco Malfoy, you don't actually think that I'm going to walk up those stairs in front of you after those looks you were just giving me. I think it would be a little unsafe for me to be in front of you, on stairs, higher than you. So go ahead, you know where the common room is.”

Draco smirked and started walking up the stairs ahead of Hermione. They didn't say anything the whole way up the common room so it gave them both some time to think. Hermione was thinking about what she was going to say to Draco and he was thinking about what she was going to do to him. He still didn't know what to expect when he got up there.

'Is she playing with me to get me back or is she being serious?' He asked himself as they reached the common room.

Hermione started when they entered and Draco turned around to face her. “I'm not going to search around for the words like you did so here it goes... Draco...I....”

Hermione was suddenly stopped by a silencing charm from Draco. “Did you hear that?”

He asked as he walked very slowly over to her. When he reached her she pulled back a hand and punched him hard in the arm. “Ouch...Hermione stop. I'll fix it; I just thought I heard something while you were talking. I'm sorry.” He whispered.

He reversed what he did and apologized to her even more, beginning to speak normally now. Then they both stopped in silence when they heard something out in the hallway. They both gave scared looks to one another and then they both pulled out their wands.

Draco thought to himself, 'Where did she pull that from?' then they heard something again.

“Uh... Who is it?” Hermione asked loudly towards the noise.

“Hermione what the hell are you thinking?” He whispered, “Whatever it is isn't going to answer you, it's probably going to eat you.”

Just as soon as he finished, a voice answered back, “It's me Hermione, It's me.”

They heard a loud thunk outside the door and they slowly walked towards it to see who this voice belonged to. They cautiously walked out the door and what they saw was a shock to both of them.

It was the youngest redhead in the Weasley family, it was Ginny.

They picked her up and brought her inside the common room and laid her on the bed in the middle of the room. Draco and Hermione walked over and sat on a torn up couch, Draco looked over at Hermione. Her eyes were filled with tears and Draco could tell that she really didn't want to cry in front of him.

“Hermione she's going to be fine. I didn't see anything wrong with her, she's just exhausted. She needs sleep, that's all, don't worry.”

“Draco that's not the problem, I already knew that. What I don't know is how she got away.” She sighed deeply and continued, “How did she get away and not Harry or Ron, where are they, huh, where are they? That's what I would like to know.”

She had finally let her tears go now and they were flowing like waterfalls. Draco pulled her into a hug and let her cry on his shoulder while he thought to himself. 'Why does it always have to be about stupid Potty and Weasel, I bet that if I disappeared right now that she wouldn't even notice or care.”

At the same time, Hermione was thinking the complete opposite, 'What would I do without you Draco. I would be so lost, I love you so much.'

She remembered earlier and lifted her head up to speak to him. “Draco, I was going to tell you about something very important before Ginny showed outside the door way. I'm sorry about earlier when I was so mad after what you told me. I understand that what happened was an accident and that you would never hurt me intentionally.”

She paused for a moment to take a deep breath then she continued, “I went to find you to tell you...”

She paused again and looked him over and realized that he had things packed on his body like he was going to be gone forever. “Where are you going?”

Draco gave her a look before he replied, “You had me come up here just so you could ask me where I was going?”

“Well no but I just realized...”

She was cut off again by Draco, he seemed very angry and... hurt? “You just realized that I was about to leave you here. You just realized that I wasn't going to be around anymore. For some reason I'm not very shocked that you wouldn't notice or care if I left!”

He stood up and as he reached the door Hermione called to him but not too loud so she wouldn't wake Ginny. “Draco, wait, I love you!”

Draco froze mid-walk. He turned around and looked her in the eyes. “What? You do?”

He asked as if something completely impossible just happened.

“Yes, I do. Draco I love you so much...”

Draco looked down and asked her, “What about Harry and Ron? You love them too?”

Hermione stood and replied in a softer voice. “Yes I do love them, but in a different way. I love them like a family loves each other. Do you understand?”

Draco looked up again. “No, I really don't get it. I told you Hermione, I don't know love. I've never truly felt it before now. I don't think anybody in my family has.”

“Come on Draco, not even for your mother?”

“Well, there were times that I thought I might love her but I know she never loved me the same way. If she would have loved me then she wouldn't have stayed with my father. Hermione, I'd rather not talk about this right now if that's alright.”

“Sure, that's fine. But at least try to understand what I mean about them and you. I love you in a much more intimate way, like a couple thing. Me and my friends, I love them like that, friends.”

She looked at him with eyes begging for him to understand.

“Okay, Hermione fine. And I honestly don't know where I was going earlier.”

“Then why were you leaving?” She asked.

He walked back over to where she was standing by the couch and sat back down. Hermione followed his lead and sat next to him. He began to speak once more.

“There is a place that I feel like I need to go; somehow I know how to get there even though I don't remember actually being there before. It makes no sense but I have to go Hermione. I know I have to go. It's important.”

Hermione was the one to be confused now but she didn't show any sign of it towards Draco.

“Well then, I'm going with you.”
