*Thank you Cyarsonix for telling me about some of my errors. I meant to say 4th year, and Hermione actually went from Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade village, but I forgot to put that in there! Silly me lol. Glad you are sticking with me though! <3*
For the first time in what seemed like forever, Hermione awoke to the warmth of the sun shining through a window on her back. She stretched in Draco's oversized guest bed and snuggled her face into the pillows. His sheets smelled nice, like Fabric Softener. She breathed in the nice fumes and let herself wake up naturally.
Within 5 minutes of her picking her head of the pillow and sitting up in bed, Hermione heard a slight knock at the door. "Come in" she said through a yawn
Draco slowly opened the door as if he didn't want to frighten her away. Their eyes met for a brief moment and Draco blushed. "So I see you're up"
"Yeah" she said running her fingers through her messy hair.
"Do you still remember the spell to apparate your clothes over here?"
"Yes, I do. Well... I would, but I only wear two things. This outfit and a work outfit and I slept in this outfit, so I am already kind of dressed"
"Hermione, that is just dreadful"
The messy haired witch giggled "Well, actually I went out yesterday with the intention of buying new clothes. There is a nice little shop in Hogsmeade Village. But I got a little preoccupied"
Draco smirked "Well how about after breakfast we go shopping?"
"Oh Draco, the coffee shop opens soon and ...I don't know if I have the money"
Draco rolled his eyes "Blow it off. And I will buy the clothes for you. I am no longer an heir to my parent's fortune but Hogwarts pays pretty well and I did have a bit of a trust fund of maybe jeez a few million... Actually when my parents kicked me out I had completly forgotten about it. Then McGonagall offered me a job here, and I didn't learn until after a year into it that I still had some money." Draco trailed off
"Why didn't you leave? From what I can tell you find nothing but misery here"
"Atleast I get to be around people"
Hermione's expression softened "I know the feeling. I am usually alone in that dank little coffee shop"
"Then quit" Draco said, his expression blank
"I can't... Muggles depend on me"
"For what...? A caffeine nightmare" Draco faked a shiver
"Come on you are a wonderful witch. Move down here. Open up shop in Hogsmeade, trust me the witches and wizards will think that coffee you make is magic, i mean that damn sugar was just as good as a hyper active potion, and I had withdrawls"
Hermione smiled softly "But where would I live. I have no money for a place right now"
Draco took in a long breath "You could live here. With me"
"With you?"
"I do have this extra bed"
Hermione smiled and she felt color come to her face "Yeah. Yeah I could do that"
"Well come on. You did promise you'd get breakfast with me"
"But I have nothing to wear!"
Draco pointed his wand at her "Emmaculatus!"
Hermione was instantly transformed, her wrinkled clothes appeared perfectly ironed, her hair fells in loose curls around her shoulders and her teeth were brushed. She even had the minty after taste of toothpaste in her mouth
"You are really good at that spell" Hermione said with amazement
"Lots of practice" Draco smiled "Now let's get going"
*******
Hermione walked with Draco down the halls of Hogwarts. The paintings greeted her, and McGonagall just about wouldn't let her go upon seeing the once bright witch. Even old Dumbledore cracked a smile when Hermione came to say hi.
Draco felt a pang of jealousy within his chest. Hermione was supposed to be his, and sit with him and make fun of how vile Ron Weasley is. He scowled at the floor as if he were a 1st year not getting his way. Finally Hermione returned to Draco and they sat at a table, surrounded by excellent food and drink and Hermione ate more than she ever thought she could.
"Draco this is so wonderful"
Draco rested his hands on his chin watching her eat. It was satisfying to him somehow, watching her smile and be filled with what she truly deserved. A nice hot meal, and someone to pay attention to her and what she said.
In fact he was so busy listening to her go on and on about the quality of food in the wizarding world that she'd forgotten about, he barely heard a disgusted grunt come from behind him.
"Hermione!" Ron Weasley's voice pierced through hers and she became very quiet. She sunk into her seat
"So this is what you do after I dump you? You go crawling to scum like this!"
"Hey!" Draco said standing up "Who do you think you are talking to her like that? We were enjoying a nice breakfast"
Ron's face twisted in anger "Like you could truly enjoy anything. Hermione come with me! I will take you away from all this rubbish!"
Hermione looked at Ron shocked. Draco and Ron looked at her expectantly. Draco knew this was coming. Everyone left him. And Ron had just blatantly implied that he would take Hermione back. And who was he to compete with the star of Hogwarts, Professor Weasley. He hung his head and whispered a curse before Hermione finally spoke.
"I am actually all good where I am thank you very much"
Draco and Ron shared a shocked expression on their faces
"Draco is actually a nice guy.. And you left me, Straight up left me all those years ago"
She stood up and grasped Draco's hand. "Now if you don't mind us, we were going to go shopping"
Hermione stomped off with Draco clasped tightly between her fingers.
Draco thanked his lucky stars he didn't have a class today or he would have to rush off. After they had walked to Hogsmeade without a word, Hermione stopped outside the sign that said "Hogsmeade Village". Draco made eye contact with her and she stroked his face.
"Why didn't you go with him?" Draco asked
"I think the answer to that is pretty obvious"
"Well can you explain it to me, because I am clearly lost here"
Hermione acted purely on instinct and she sewn her fingers through Dracos, pulled him closer and kissed him. At first it was awkward as Draco stood there in pure shock. But the shock began to wear off and Draco fell into the kiss. He pulled the witch in his arms and let his tongue explore the inside of her warm mouth.
After a couple of minutes Hermione reluctantly pulled back. "I have literally been face to face with the most vile woman on the planet and had to push her off of me, but that was still the most nerve racking thing I believe I have ever done"
"Well, you could use some practise" Draco said jokingly "But I think I can help with that"
Hermione pushed him a little then pulled him into another kiss. The kiss ended up falling into Hermione with her head buried in Draco's chest and Draco's head on hers, smelling her rose scented shampoo.
"You know" Draco began "When I first walked into that coffee shop of yours, I was sure no good would come from it. But this has been the best thing to have happened to me in quite a while"
Hermione nodded into his chest in agreement. She pulled back and their eyes met
"I can't believe how much you've changed Draco"
"People don't ever really change Hermione, they just sometimes have a social status that hangs over their true personalities"
"Wow that was deep" Hermione said biting her tongue
They pulled out of each other's embrace quickly when they heard a whistle, one that came dauntingly from behind them
Ron rested again the Hogsmeade sign "How cute" he said "A Mudblood and A pure blood. I am sure the papers will just love this!"
"Ron. What did you do?" Hermione asked in shock
"Well let's just put it like this... The Daily Prophet will have everyone in town know how low Hermione Granger has sunk from her drinking problem to dating this ferret"
Tears welled up in Hermione's eyes and she ran. Draco stayed behind and looked Ron dead in his eyes before taking a step forward and decking him right in this face.
This caught Ron off guard as he fell to the ground. "I am telling Dumbledore you assaulted his prize professor"
"Well you can tell that old prune I quit!" Draco yelled back as he ran after Hermione
"Just wait til your parent here about this!"
Draco paid no mind to the angsty redhead, nor to the fact that he had just yelled a resignation that would probably get him banned from Hogwarts grounds for good. The only thing he was focusing on was finding Hermione.
