"I hate you ron! Can't you ever just be happy for me!" Hermione started yelling at ron, tears welling in her eyes.

"No! How can I be happy for you if you keep doing things that make you cry and me and harry are sick of it!" He shouted back at her.

"Listen to him hermione!" Harry agreed.

"I know whats good for me ron,harry! I am big girl!" Ron had turned and hemione just got infront of him."I can handle myself!"

Suddenly ron's temper had fully broken. "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YOU FILTHY MUD-BLOOD!" He shouted instantly regreting the words.

Suddenly hermione slapped him and harry. She had put all her power into hitting his cheek as hard as possible.

Ron touched his cheek. "Bitch." Ron whispered walking off, harry followed.

"I HATE YOU RON! I HATE YOU!" She shouted at him as he was walking up the stairs. When he was gone she broke onto the floor and started crying taking off her shoes. She hated ron and harry then. She hated them with all she had.

Draco turned to see the golden trio fighting. He smirked to himself. It hardly ever happened and he wanted to make good out of the oppurtunity. He walked behind a statue near the stairs and listened.

"I HATE YOU RON! I HATE YOU!" He heard the mud-blood shout at ron. He chuckled but his laugh soon stopped when he heard her crying.

Suddenly he came out from his hiding spot and saw her on broken down on the floor. He stared at her and smirked.

"Whats wrong? Ron couldn't fufill your needs?" He started laughing.

"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE MALFOY!" Hermione shouted at him.Malfoy. She made it sound like such a dirty word.

It hurt him. Not that he was going to let her know. He just stood there and looked at her on the floor. Suddenly he started to leave and then something grabbed on his tux.

"Wait.." Hermione was there holding onto his shirt, her eyes full of tears. She looked horrible when she cried, she looked anything but the smart innocent girl she normally

looked like. He suddenly felt a burst of guilt go threw him.

"Please don't leave, I hate you but... please." She looked at him with those eyes. Suddenly he looked around and grabbed her hand and turned a corner to make sure no one could see. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in close sitting on the ground with her.

"Its okay to cry, cry all day, tomorrow if you want." He whispered in her ear nicer then normal. She reminded him as a child when his father hit him and his mother died and that made him want to cry and as he had told himself that was the only reason he was helping her.

Hermione was shocked that she had grabbed his shirt and begged for him not to leave. She needed someone to hold her. Someone to say that everything was going to be okay, that it wouldn't stay like this and thats why she was so surprised when he hugged her and said it was okay to cry. That she could cry all night maybe even tomorrow. Suddenly all her tears came out and she let out deep sobs of pain. Draco just stayed there hugging her and she cried. Suddenly after hours her tears stopped and she looked up at draco.

As soon as her tears had stopped he let go of her and started to leave. "Don't expect me to help again, that was a once in a lifetime thing." He looked at her and started leaving.

"Wait!" She looked into his eyes.

"Thank you." She whispered.

"Whatever." Suddenly draco slapped her hand away and started walking. What would happen now . He thought to himself.

The thought of her crying in his arms made him smirk. Maybe he could use this loneliness for his advantage. To make ron and harry wanna cry.

He chuckled at the thought but then frowned remembering her crying face. He hit his head with his knuckle.

What was he thinking, he thought to himself. Suddenly he started thinking back to his advantage and new plan.
