I'm Just Better Than You
Hermione stormed to the Gryffindor Common Room. She went straight to Ron and slapped the boy to his cheek.
"How dare you? I never would've thought you'd go that low!" Hermione yelled as tears of rage rolled to her cheeks.
Ron watched his girlfriend alarmed. What was wrong with the girl? "What are you babbling about?" Ron asked and received a grimace.
"You know what I'm talking about. You and Sara... What's the deal with you two?" Hermione snapped.
Ron went pale. "That... It… wasn't anything… Just a mistake…" Ron stuttered.
"Just a mistake… You see, Sara told me this mistake has been going on quite awhile already." Hermione hissed.
"I... You were always so busy and distant... And... I just somehow ended up spending time with her." Ron exclaimed.
Hermione shook her head. "So much that Sara got to fall in love with you? Why didn't you tell me anything? How am I supposed to trust you anymore?" the girl screamed. Harry wandered to the Common Room also and watched the scene with amazement. "This thing of ours is over. Feel free to go and cry against Sara's shoulder!" Hermione screamed and dashed out from the Common Room. Ron grimaced and walked to the boys' Dormitory.
Hermione stormed onwards, not even looking where she was going. The walk ended as she bumped into somebody. Hermione just wanted to stop and bawl against that somebody, but when she lifted her eyes from the boy's body to his blonde hair, she came to another conclusion. Draco Malfoy. Hermione grimaced and backed away. The boy was wearing black trousers with a studded leather belt. Upper part of the body was slightly damp and there was a white towel on the boy's shoulders. His hair was tangled from the shower, but it still looked extremely stylish.
"Well well… What do we have here?" the boy asked bantering and seemed to enjoy making Hermione blush.
"What's it to you?" the girl snapped and turned around to leave, but the boy's hand clasped hers.
"Don't go running away so quickly… What's troubling, girl? Got heartaches? It seems like that..." Draco said sneering.
"So what? It's not your problem! It has nothing to do with you! You'd just mock me some more!" the girl snapped and turned to face the boy, eyes burning with anger.
"So full of energy and passion… I could make you feel better", the boy hinted.
"I'd never sink that low… With you of all people", Hermione hissed and slapped the boy to his cheek, continuing for the stairs.
"Your choice, your lost", Draco grinned and started to leave for his own Common Room. He just reached the doorway, when Hermione returned, biting her lower lip.
"I'm sorry", the girl piped and casted an apologetic look to the boy. Draco just smirked and took the girl by the hand, guiding her somewhere they wouldn't be disturbed.
At the same time in Gryffindor's Common Room, Ron sat on a sofa and watched the flames. He had screwed up a big time. He should've put a stop to his and Sara's relationship in the first place. It was Hermione he loved, not Sara. Or was it? Boy's face darkened. Hermione hadn't returned the whole evening and it worried Ron. He didn't even notice Harry, who slumped down to the other sofa.
"Why did you cheat on Hermione?" Harry asked, not sounding accusing.
"I don't know… Hermione just never really was there, you know, and suddenly Sara was there and it kind of got out of hands", Ron sighed.
"Which one do you love?" Harry asked rationally.
"That's what I'm trying to find out. I love Hermione, I really do, but Sara has become so close during these weeks. She's there and she doesn't have her nose in a book all the time", Ron said sounding miserable.
"You should really think this over, before you do anything", Harry stated and stood up. He took a towel and headed out.
Draco sat up lazily from the soft carpet and smoothed the cheek of a sleeping girl. He got dressed in the few clothes he had at the time and stepped out from the room. The steps took him back to the bathing areas, where he bumped into Harry. For a moment the boys measured each other with their eyes.
"We'll meet again… At the quite same spot", Draco drawled.
Rebellious fire was burning in Harry's eyes. "So it seems… But I was here first and I'm going to have a bath now, so if you could just move a bit." Harry stated as calmly as possible.
"You would't happen to want something, would you? Ginny really gives you the satisfaction you need? You look rather… numb, for what I can tell", Draco said calculating and got a grimace from Harry.
How does he do that? Reading people like nothing.
"Well, to speak you the truth, she hasn't got me... She just doesn't have... the thing... I want..." the boy answered and before Draco had a chance to say anything, Harry had already reached out to kiss him.
Slowly Draco opened the door to the bathroom and pulled Harry in. The door was locked and soon the room was filled with quiet moans and panting.
