A New Beginning Chapter Six
Hermione sighed and shook her head. She saw Draco went automatically on the defensive and she saw that four pairs of eyes began to turn dark as they looked in Draco's direction.
"Don't even dare! I will not have you fighting like this!"
As Hermione said this she moved so she was standing between the four men and Draco. Her back was to Draco and for a moment the room seemed to charge with energy around it. Hermione sighed a moment and shook her head.
Draco put down his wand and looked at her.
"Hermione move, I don't want you to get hurt! Dammit woman I am going to defend myself and defend you! Are you bloody mad?!?"
As Draco said this he ran a hand through his hair and sighed a moment. He didn't have to see the look on her face as he knew she had used that very disappointed tone she uses when she is not happy about something. This was the only reason he put down his wand other than the fact the woman he loved was standing there prepared to defend him. It was a blow to his pride and ego but spoke volumes to his heart as it was Granger who was defending him.
The same Granger who for years he once tormented then fallen in love with. The same woman who he knew was capable of with just with her words to change a person for the better. True at the moment she was driving him absolutely crazy because he was a man after all and to have one's girlfriend defend him like this.. If it was any other woman he wouldn't have hesitated but start shooting hexes at the four men who had come into his home. Especially at Reid Garwin.
"Move Hermione Danvers or I swear I will move you! He just admitted he was an evil son of a bitch didn't he? Why are you protecting him?!? Can't he fight? He's a pathetic loser letting a girl fight for him!"
As Reid said this Hermione glared at him and she frowned deeply. The next words out of her mouth were delivered in a highly frosty tone that almost made the warm air in the room chilly.
"Touch me again Reid Garwin and I swear I will remove your bullocks! How dare you!?! Caleb you should take care to control your friend before he really pisses me off! Draco isn't any more evil then you are Reid! In fact your both very similar! "
As Hermione said this she stared down the four men in turn and crossed her arms over her chest. As she did so she then looked at her twin brother in the eyes and replied.
"Caleb, I promise you he is not evil. You don't need to protect me from anyone right now. Pogue,Tyler listen to me! I am a adult! I should have the right to choose who I see or make friends with. I have known this man for nine years, I am not one bit diluted or illusion by Draco. Draco was a death eater but also it was to protect someone he loves. He also fought against the side of the darkness along side me in the final battle.
He saved my life and those of a lot of people. You were not there when the war happened and you did not see.. Do you trust me Caleb? Pogue,Tyler? Do you trust me Reid at all? Do you? You say you love me Reid right? So you want to hurt me is that it? Because the only way you are coming anywhere close to hurting him again is through me."
Hermione saw Caleb's eyes going back to normal as well as Pogue and Tyler's and Reid just continued to glare.
" Look Hermione I don't understand what's going on here or why it seems that this dangerous man is here and your protecting him. But I do trust you. You've never given me a reason not to. Your right we weren't there and don't know. You never talk about it either you have to admit that. Mimi, your my baby sister and I love you and we are all we have left. I don't want you to hurt or be hurt. I also don't want to lose you.
How about we all have a nice talk and explain what you mean by you was protecting someone. Aiden, Draco whatever your name is.. What does she mean by that statement and why should we trust you?
As Caleb asked this he noticed for a moment something in the man's expression. He was looking at Hermione's profile. This man named Draco and he could see it clear as day. There was annoyance but also love. He knew then and there that this man wouldn't harm his sister but he wanted to hear the words. He wondered if Hermione knew this. As he noticed pausing Hermione turned to look at Draco and even more to his assumption he saw it. Her eyes, they looked at Draco the same, the annoyance but then she for a second smiled at this man and Caleb sighed a moment. It was as if Sarah his girlfriend was looking at him and he knew that Sarah loved him.
"Come on let's go Pogue, Tyler.. Reid I think we need to go. I'm sorry that we came here uninvited. Look Hermione once things calm down here a bit could you bring Draco by so we can talk properly please? I promise to hear you both out and to listen and truly listen."
As Caleb said this he looked over at Pogue and Tyler and Reid. Reid was still angry and yet his eyes were slowly going back to their usual blue and Pogue just nodded as he too saw what Caleb had seen and knew that the couple in question needed to talk. Tyler was confused but he would do what he was told as he trusted Caleb and Pogue's judgments.
Reid cursed under his breath and shook his head and was about to speak and defy the elder Son of Ipswich when he saw to his disgust the way Hermione had smiled a moment to the young man who was almost completely like himself and for a moment he paused to ponder that fact. This guy was so alike him now he understood and remembered their first meeting and how she had called him Draco.
The realization stung him and his pride for a moment smarted but he bit his tongue. Hermione, Reid knew had never once looked at him the way she was looking at this Draco guy and Reid for a moment just tried to keep his emotions in check. Reid did love her.
Had he really not noticed the way she had never confirmed their relationship? Reid had never questioned before that she had cared for him but did she really not feel the same way he did for her?
Reid wondered if he could step back. He knew he had to assess this and he did not like what he was seeing. He got up and silently left the apartment and walked out into the hall way. He went outside and stood there a moment trying to collect his thoughts and rein in his feelings. Could he,really just let Hermione go? Did he really love Hermione enough to let her decide who made her happy? Also why did this Draco guy look so much like him? Had Hermione all these months now been only nice to him because he was a almost carbon copy of a man she was in love with?
The four men then left and silently each were in their own thoughts as at last Hermione and Draco were now again alone. Hermione hugged Draco to her and placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Draco bent his head down and kissed the top of her head gently and relaxed.
"Hermione, will you be my girlfriend?"
Draco asked and was a little bit nervous as he lifted her chin to look into her cinnamon brown eyes,smiling softly. Hermione just smiled and got on her tip toes and kissed him gently and nodded.
"Yes, of course I will but I already thought that I was at least I hoped so."
Hermione told him with a smile and kissed him again slowly. Draco kissed her back and grinned then he picked her up a moment and held her close so they were forehead to forehead and nose to nose. Draco set her down slowly and took her hands in his and gave them a gentle squeeze.
"Well I didn't want to assume and I had hoped as well. Look I am sorta new at this boyfriend thing, the whole being in love thing and I just don't want to screw it up. So we go at your pace and I'm not going to pressure you into anything. I just am happy you want to be with me and I mean it, I would do anything to make you happy Hermione."
Draco admitted and inwardly groaned as he knew it made him sound rather like a ponce and soft but he meant the words and had spoken from his heart. Draco truly wanted to be honest with Hermione. he was tired of being dishonest with others and himself too.
"I don't have a lot of experience either in dating and I appreciate you not pushing and assuming. I want you to be happy too Draco and your not screwing up anything, if anything your making me lo.. like you more. I know we need to get to know each other again and I'm happy,you have made me happy so far and I have faith in you and I mean it when I say I can trust you with my life.
Thank you for not hexing my brother and his friends. I know Reed can be a bit hot tempered but Pogue,Tyler, Caleb and Reed are good honorable men and I am like a little sister to them even if Caleb is my twin brother. It means a lot to me that you try and get along with them. I'm not saying it'll be easy but thank you for trying. "
" I promise to try Hermione. I promise to never do anything to lose your trust. So how about we go for some breakfast and maybe spend the afternoon together? We can do whatever you like. We can take my motor bike or apparate anywhere you want to go."
Draco offered as he kissed her nose a moment and squeezed her hands back. Hermione lay down on Draco's bed and made him lie next to her and snuggled into his arms.
"How about we take a nap as it's still a bit early and we can decide when we wake back up? I'd love to go on your motorbike with you and all I really want is to spend time with you."
Hermione told him moving to lay her head on his chest and closing her eyes. Draco kissed her forehead and smiled closing his own eyes and soon they both were asleep.
Hermione sighed and shook her head. She saw Draco went automatically on the defensive and she saw that four pairs of eyes began to turn dark as they looked in Draco's direction.
