A/N: This is a Draco and Hermione post-Hogwarts story. There are 4 chapters total, with the first acting more as a prologue. The following chapters are also short, but not as short. I begin each story with lyrics of a song. I edited the lyrics to fit my story a bit better. If you want to know the artist or song, just let me know. Enjoy!

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Ron was pacing back and forth across his living room. He was going over what Hermione had said over and over in his head.

"You know I love you."

Of course she loved him. Ever since the summer before seventh year she loved him. Ever since that moment their eyes met and lips touched for the first time.

"You know I love you."

But her eyes. Her eyes told a different story. The golden specks that freckled her hazel eyes stopped shining as she told him that. The same way they stopped shining whenever she lied.

"You know I love you."

Why would she lie to him? Why would she lie to him about their love? Why?

Ron's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door. He tried to shake the haunting words away as he opened the door to find Harry standing there.

"Hey mate, how's things?"

Ron stood dumbfounded for but a moment before he answered, "Fine, just fine."

Harry looked at Ron intently, knowing everything was indeed not fine.

"What's wrong, Ron? You and Hermione get into another row?" Harry asked as he walked in and shut the door.

Ron hesitated before he answered. "No, it's just, well you're both of ours best mate, right?"

"Yeah, of course."

"And you would tell me if you thought Hermione was acting, well, a little out of sorts, right?"

"That goes without saying."

"Right then. Well, um, I don't think Hermione loves me anymore."

Harry stood for a moment, confused about what was just said. "What?"

"I said I don't think that Hermione loves me anymore. When she told me she loved me earlier, I could swear she was lying."

"C'mon Ron. You can't be bloody serious. Of course Hermione loves you."

And then Ron saw it again. A lie in the eyes of his best friend.

"Harry, you and Hermione aren't…" Ron looked at his friend closely, a hint of broken heartedness in his eyes. "Are you?"

"Bloody hell Ron, of course not."

"Then why are you lying? Why are both of you lying to me?!" Ron was starting to get angry now, and it showed in his voice.

"Because Ron, no one wants to hurt you. Now know this, I'm not with Hermione nor have I ever been, but she has been seeing someone else."

Ron stood there, looking slightly defeated.

"Okay Ron, just sit down. I tell you, I'll tell you everything, even though Merlin knows I wish it wasn't me who has to say this."

Ron's anger was coming on full force now. "What if I don't want to bloody sit down?!"

"Then don't, just listen to me." Harry began walking around, avoiding his friend's gaze. "Hermione has been seeing someone else for a couple of months now. Me and Ginny found out three weeks ago, but we didn't want to go to you right away. We talked to Hermione first and she said she'd end it. She swore that. But apparently she hasn't."

"WHO IS IT THEN?" Ron roared.

"Ron," Harry said before sighing, "It's Draco. She's been seeing Draco Malfoy."
