I watched you and it seemed like you froze, but it didn't last long. Soon, you were back to your usual polite self. "Do you want anything?" you asked me, motioning to me to sit down.
I did sit down, folding my arms across my chest. "No, I don't need anything."
You nodded, but it was very slightly and sat down across from me.
I watched you twitch. You rung your hands, clicked the nails of your thumbs together, bit your lip, but said nothing.
I cleared my throat and you jumped. "I want to know about your daughter," I repeated.
You for a moment looked stern. "Why?"
I shrugged. "I just do. Do you have a problem with that?"
"Perhaps."
"Her name is Danica, isn't it?"
"How do you know?"
"A friend of mine told me," I answered.
Your turned away and looked out the window. The rain was falling down harder than before. "Hermione?"
You jumped at the sound of your name. "What?"
"Who's Danica's father?"
You stood up and started to pace. "That's none of your business, Draco Malfoy!"
"If she is how old I was told she was, then I have a right to know."
You kept looking away from me. At the wall; the floor; out the window; at your hands.
I stood up and grabbed your shoulders. "Tell me who's the father, Hermione."
"Leave me alone."
I looked at her face for a minute. "You aren't telling me because she's mine, aren't you? You don't want me to know that she's my daughter."
You looked at my face for a second and then pulled your self away from me and looked out window.
I stood there frozen for a minute. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You have no right to know," you whispered.
"She is my daughter! I have every right to know that she exists! What were you thinking? Did you think I would hurt her or something?"
You spun around and your face was full of anger. You were glaring at me harder than I had ever seen you glare before. "I was afraid you would hurt me again! If you hurt me then it would hurt her and I wasn't going to let that happen! Don't you get it? You are the worst thing that ever happened to me and the best thing and it kills me! Danica is the only good thing that came out of our relationship! I wasn't about to let you take that away from me. I wasn't going to let you take her away from me."
I almost flinched at your anger. "I wouldn't have tried to take her away from you."
"You already took everything else away from me."
I reached out to touch you but stopped. "Hermione......I......I never meant to hurt you. I really didn't.......I never would have tried to hurt you and it kills me that I did." I stopped and took a breath. "Hermione, I love you."
You stood there frozen for a moment. "You what?" you whispered.
"I love you."
And you started to cry.
It killed me to see you cry, mostly because I wasn't sure if I had made you cry because I upset your of because you were happy.
I decided, either way, I wasn't going to let you stand there crying.
Slowly I made my way over to you and wrapped my arms around you.
You struggled for a moment but soon relaxed, crying into my chest.
I ran my hand up and down your back and held you close. "I have always loved you Hermione," I whispered and kissed your forehead.
You pulled away to look at me. Your cheeks were red and tearstained. You were more beautiful than I had ever seen you before. "I love you, too."
I wasn't sure at first if I heard you say that, but then it sunk in.
I leaned down and kissed you lightly and whispered, "I want to be with you. I want to be there for Danica."
