Meant To Be

2.15

She inhaled deeply as her hazel eyes sparkled with hope.

“I’m going to fight for him.” Her voice was hoarse but she didn’t care. Not one bit.

Draco Malfoy will be her’s. They will live together. No one could ever separate them apart. Their love will rise above all problems.

It’s time. It’s time to take risk.

"We need to talk." She simply said after  Draco opened to door.

She came to her flat once again, knocked into his door, and then he would open it. But he would always close it again and Hermione would spend the whole day looking the marvelous piece of wood that separates her and Draco, called door.

It was an everyday routine and it has been going on for nearly a month already. Katherine was left to do all her work but she didn't mind 'cause she also wants the two of them to be together finally.

She expected him to close the door that day but he didn't. Instead, he spoke, "Come inside"

Her heart leaped with joy as she sat at the couch in his living room.

"Start talking."He said.

Hermione raised an eyebrow and said, "I said that we need to talk so yoy need to answer my
questions.  This is not a one-way conversation and it could change our lives forever so please take it seriously."

"I am serious."

"Okay. First, why did you forgave Theo and not me?" She asked trying to hold back her tears.

"Do you want a honest answer?"

She nodded.

"I should be thanking Theo for stopping me with the unbreakable charm. If he didn't, I might have done the same mistake again."

Hermione tried to cut him off but she failed so he continued.

"You however, is entirely a different story. This isn't some fairytale that you can go back to the things you've taken for granted. You don't even know how hard it  is to live with a broken heart."

His face still shows no emotions while Hermione was crying too much.

"I know how much pain you've been through. I understand you! I understand the pain you feel but I want you to give me a second chance. If you are having a hard time living with a broken heart, then take mine. I don't need it anyways. You are all that I need." She shouted weakly.

Draco studied her and didn't utter a word.

"Please. I love you." She pleaded.

"For your information, Weasley. If you love someone, you don't leave them hanging." He replied.

"I made a mistake! Don't I deserve a second chance?"

Draco was about to reply when Hermione pulled him closer to her until their lips met.

His lips were so soft so she couldn't pull it away. At first he didn't respond. but he didn't push her away.

After a while, Hermione stopped crying when she felt him responding to the kiss.

And all hope, once again, flooded her mind. It was like a dream. And she never wants to wake up, ever.

But then, she tasted something salty. It was tears. But it was not hers.
