Draco Malfoy woke up with a grumpy start. He got up and got changed into his Hogwarts uniform and got ready for the day then went out of his room. As he was about to leave the common room, he looked at the door that was opposite his room.
Her room.
Draco sighed and trudged to the Great Hall to get some breakfast. He was sure that she would already be there as he didn't hear her along his way out of their common room. As Draco arrived at the Great Hall, the room erupted with whispers from the students. Draco glared at the student population which led to them stopping their gossip. Draco took his usual seat next to Blaise at the Slytherin table and loudly banged his fist on the table in annoyance, startling Blaise slightly.
"Is it true mate?" Blaise asked as soon as Draco sat down.
"What are you talking about?" Draco replied, trying his best to sound nonchalant as he placed some toast on his plate. He already knew what Blaise was gonna ask him.
"Did she really break up with you?" Blaise asked once more. It was the rumour that all the students were talking about since Blaise went to the Great Hall and he wanted to know if they were true.
Draco let out a loud sigh and nodded. "She ended the relationship last night near the common room when she came back from dinner. We were quite loud so some students heard."
Blaise was surprised that it was actually true. They were very much in love. Even a blind person could see that they love each other. Blaise never really expected their relationship to end. The two were an unexpected match but they worked well together so it was a shame that their relationship was put to an end.
"Speaking of her, where is she?" Draco asked his Italian friend.
"Over there." Blaise pointed at the Gryffindor table as he ate his cereal.
Draco's eyes followed the place where Blaise pointed and saw his ex girlfriend.
Hermione Granger.
She was staring at Draco with puffy eyes. Her nose was red and stuffy, her eyebrows were furrowed to show her anger, and her hair was simply put up in a messy bun. Many would think that the bookworm looked like a complete mess at the moment but Draco thought she still looked beautiful.
Hermione saw Draco looking back at her and hurriedly covered her face with a book, hoping he would lose his gaze at her. Draco simply stared at her and her poor attempt of hiding. Ginny Weasley came in the Great Hall and approached Hermione as she sat next to her.
"Have you and Malfoy broken up?" Ginny demanded, cracking her knuckles as she glared at Draco Malfoy over at the Slytherin table.
Hermione nodded, muttering a quiet 'yes' to the redhead as she shot a look at her former boyfriend. Hermione quickly held Ginny's arm as she knew she was going to Draco to give him a piece of her mind and Hermione didn't really want to add more drama into the situation. "It's not worth it, I'm alright." Hermione reassured her fiery friend.
Ginny looked at Hermione as if she grew two heads. "Okay? Hermione, you look far from okay. I mean no offence but you look like an emotional mess right now."
Hermione sighed. "I know but this break up has been worse than the one I had with Ron. Draco and I have been together since the war ended. It's been more than a year since we've been together and I truly don't know why he initiated a breakup. I thought we were fine and that nothing was wrong." she ranted.
"Wait, he broke up with you? I thought you broke up with him?" Ginny wondered.
"He broke up with me when he came to our common room last night. He asked me to step out the portrait hole with him then broke up with me. There were some shouting involved so I think that's how the students found out." Hermione explained.
"That's strange. Why would Malfoy go telling people around that it was you who broke up with him?" Ginny wondered.
"He's either done it so I would end up looking like the bad person or to make the females feel sorry for him." Hermione indicated as she stared at Draco Malfoy still staring at her while being surrounded by girls comforting him.
Hermione felt disgusted and quickly fled the Great Hall and went to the Potions classroom early. As much as she wasn't fond of the dungeons underground, it was better than Draco Malfoy staring at her while girls cooed at him.
Draco tried to dismiss the girls that were surrounding him as he realised that Hermione left the Great Hall. He tried following her but was stopped by Blaise.
"Give her some space mate. Wouldn't want to confront her while she's in that state. Things might get worse." Blaise explained as he firmly held onto my arm. Draco sighed helplessly as he realised that was a reasonable point and sat down, longingly looking at the doors of the Great Hall hoping that the Gryffindor would come back.
Please review!
