Chapter 9: It's All Over

"It was just a dare," I repeated to the closed portrait door. Gryffindors were staring at me, a confused expression on their faces. Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs were drinking down this bit of new, juicy information. And I saw Blaise Zabini give me a nasty, disgusted look and headed out after his friend.

My eyes were stinging and after looking at Harry and Ginny's sympathetic looks, my tears began to slowly trickle down my cheeks. Ron looked quite pleased and I finally pulled myself together and ran out after Draco. My footsteps were echoing through the halls and I didn't care that I was making so much noise and that a teacher might catch me. All I wanted to do was reach Draco and explain.

I came across an engraving of a snitch, pulled one of it's golden wings and waiting until the wall separated so I could walk through the secret passageway that led to the outside of the Head rooms. I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and ran as fast as I could down the rarely used hallway and finally came upon the dead end. Tapping my wand against the cold stonewall, the stones parted like in Diagon Alley and I walked through and landed straight outside the portrait of a sleeping James and Lily. Lily's green eyes fluttered open and she asked for the password. "Temporary," I said and walked through.

My gaze went straight up to the silhouette of two figures at the top of the spiraling black marble staircase that led up to Head Boy's room. I quickly grabbed the handle and began to climb up, skipping a few stairs and climbing into twos or threes. "Draco!" I called out, but when my voice echoed through the hallway, I heard the door slamming shut.

"I can't believe you of all people did that, Granger. Draco was actually starting to care about you, and broke his heart," Blaise Zabini told me coldly.

My tears were falling harder than ever and I was too shocked to speak. Blaise was the only person who knew about my relationship with Draco, before I told Harry or Ginny. He knew from the beginning, because Draco always had to use the excuse he was at his house when he was actually meeting me. His words tore through me like a dozen arrows and before I had a chance to explain, he left me. I ran down the short hallway that led to the door to Draco's room. I tried turning the handle of the silver serpent, but it was locked. "Draco! Please listen to me! It was just a dare, honest! It didn't mean anything!" I shouted, hoping he would hear me. "Please Draco open the door," I pleaded, my eyes were hurting from crying so hard and I let out small whimpers, my body trembling from all the weeping. I banged my head against the doorframe, in frustration. There was light from under the door. "Draco I know you're awake. Please listen to me," I said one more time. It wasn't fair. Why wasn't he listening to me?

The lights turned off and I cried harder than ever, my knees were trembling and pretty soon they gave way and I was falling on the floor. I curled up at the front of his door, my sobs were louder than before and my throat was hurting, but I still called out his name one more time, hoping he'd listen to me.

It must have worked because I saw the lights turning on and footsteps coming towards me. I didn't bother to dry my tears and waited hungrily for his door to open. When it did, I saw him towering over me. "Draco?" I said, my voice hoarse from all the crying. I hoped that he would pick me up and say that he was sorry for not listening to me, but he did none of that.

"You don't have the right to call me that." His steely, gray eyes pierced my soul. "This is all over. We're through. From now on, I'm Malfoy to you. Got it, Granger?" he told me.

His words shattered my heart into a thousand pieces. The way he called me 'Granger' was so cold and icy I just cried even harder and the door slammed shut in front of me. I leaned against the frame again, hugging my knees to my chest and rocking myself back and forth the whole night.

In the morning, I woke up because the door to Draco's room opened and I feel backwards, my head falling on top of his feet. "Granger, get up," I heard his cold voice tell me and my eyes fluttered open to see Draco's piercing gaze, looking over at me with disgust. I lifted my head and stood up wondering where I was and why Draco was looking at me with so much hatred.
"Draco?" I called out, getting up to my feet to come up to my full short height of 5 feet 2 inches. My throat was still hurting, my mouth felt dry and I wanted to drink some water.

"I already told you to stop calling me that," he said, walking past me and down the steps. I looked at his back, confusion written all over my face and then I remembered what happened tonight.

"Wait Draco. Please let me explain," I pleaded again. I didn't want to loose him. I didn't want him to look at me like that anymore; it hurt too much. I scrambled down the steps after him and grabbed on to his hand to stop him.

"What the fuck do you want, Granger? I saw you with my own eyes, you slut! You were kissing Longbottom out there for the entire world to see. Who knows how many other guys you were out with, snogging your ass off. No, wait; you must have shagged half the school. No wonder you're so good in bed you mudblood whore!" he yelled at me.

Suddenly I felt anger rising. My whole body was shaking and I was so frustrated, I couldn't take it anymore. "What the fuck is wrong with you, Draco! You're not even listening to me. How many fucking times am I going to tell you it was a fucking dare! I didn't do that on purpose and if I did want to cheat on you, there are tons of guys out there I could use. I don't need Neville. And for your information, the only person I've been with was you. You were the one to take my virginity. You were the only man in my life. And if you don't believe then it's just fucking fine with me. I don't need to be with someone who doesn't trust me! Did I ever sneak up on you when you went to a party? Did I ever accuse you of shagging another girl? No. So why the fuck are you being like this? You're so bloody jealous, you won't even think to reason. I fucking love you, but if you won't listen to me, then maybe..." I took a deep breath and then said, with more force, "Maybe you don't deserve my love!"

My eyes seemed to regain their moister and I was crying harder than last night. I put my hands over my face and just began sinking down on my feet.

"Hermione, You don't mean that." Draco said. I felt his presence near me. His hands were on my shoulder but I jerked him off. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I yelled, and sobbed harder. "You said it was over, so no more..."

I felt Draco stay there, just watching me. Then I heard him punch the wall. "Fuck Hermione. What do you want?" He stayed there for a moment longer and when I didn't reply, he left me there to cry on my own.

When I walked to the Great Hall for lunch, I felt everyone's eyes on me, again. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" I yelled. "THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE!"
The students blinked, and then stopped staring at me, but I heard their whispers and murmurs. My eyes were all red and puffy from crying all night and I finally found my way over to the Gryffindor Table. No one talked to me, and I was glad for that. When I took a seat next to Ginny, she looked at me with concern. "Hey what happened to you?" she asked me softly. "You weren't here for breakfast." I felt my eyes stinging again but I blinked back my tears. My eyes scanned over the Great Hall and my gaze went over to the Slytherin Table. Blaise was glaring at me, but I noticed that Draco wasn't there.

"Hermione you all right?" Harry said, sitting next to me. I nodded my head, but I knew I wasn't convincing anyone. I picked up an apple and bit into it. It tasted stale, but I ate it anyway, my stomach feeling really empty. I felt everyone's eyes on me, but I ignored them. When I took my last bite, I sat up. "I'm going to go back to my room," I told Harry and Ginny.

"I'll come with you," Ginny said and stood up. I nodded my head and Harry and Ginny followed me out the Great Hall. Then I remembered that Draco wasn't in the Great Hall for lunch. I assumed he was in back in the Head common room. Not wanting to see him anytime soon, I asked Harry and Ginny if I could go to the Gryffindor common room.

"Of course," Ginny told me, her voice gentle. When we got there, the place was almost deserted. I sat in the corner of a large scarlet sofa and sighed, letting the warmth of the fire calm me. "So what happened? Did Draco listen to you?" When I didn't answer, they understood and Harry took me up in his arms and began stroking my hair and again I found myself overflowing with tears. I heard Ginny telling me things like 'It's all going to be okay' or 'Don't worry he'll come through soon', but I didn't believe a word of it. I knew I shouldn't have gone to that party. Now, Draco and I are through. I still couldn't believe the fact that it was finished. My relationship with Draco was temporary after all.

I buried my face into Harry's chest, crying my heart out, and then I whispered,

"It's all over."
