I do not own Harry Potter, I wish I did though. The characters belong to J.. Snape, Dumbledore, and whoever else I want, isn't dead...haha. I don't like how J.K. killed alot of the people.
Chapter 1. Caught in a red sheets.
Hermione ran through the corridors, tears streaming down her face. She needed to get to the Head's common room; at least she'd be safe there.
"Unity" she said once she reached the portrait. The second she got through the portrait she fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Draco and Blaise were in the common room discussing problems with the young Slytherins. It was Christmas time and the two seventh years had worked extremely hard, with Hermione, to promote house unity. These little first years were trying to destroy everything.
Upon seeing the Head girl break down, Blaise gracefully left the Heads common room. He wanted to help preserve her dignity. Once Blaise was gone Draco carefully approached the crying girl. He knew there was only one thing that could break her like this; she had caught the Weasel.
"Hermione?" he whispered hoping not to startle her as he knelt down to her level.
"Go away Draco!" oh how he loved the sound of his name on her lips, but that would have to wait for a different time. He knew she needed him right now.
"So…you found out, huh?" Hermione's head shot up, her eyes lit with anger, but her face looked so confused. Then it quickly changed to a hurt expression, but it was her voice that damn-near broke his heart.
"So you knew too." It wasn't a question, she knew. "I'm betting the whole damn school knew." The tears started flowing freely again. "But did anyone think to tell me?"
"Hermione if I had told you, you wouldn't have believed me. You wouldn't have believed anyone." He whispered before wrapping his arms around her, pulling her into his lap.
"How long?" she whispered. "How long have you known?"
"Is it important?" he asked hoping it wouldn't be.
"Yes I need to know." She said looking up into his eyes.
"Since the second week of school. I caught them one night out on patrol. I took points and threatened to hex both of them if I ever caught them again. Weasel then accused me of having feelings for you, so he started hanging out in the common room all the time. I thought he ended it until Potter came to me a little over a month ago. He said he needed an outsider's opinion. He explained that he walked in on them one day. He wanted to go to you but Weasel had begged him not to tell, that it wouldn't happen again."
"What did you tell him?" she asked curling up into his arms more.
"I told him to watch over you so you didn't find out the way you did. I said I would watch the Weasel. Unfortunately I think both Potter and I were too tired after yesterday's game to do our job this morning."
"It's not your fault. I wanted to surprise him this morning, and there she was, laying there in his bed, naked. I couldn't believe it."
"Hermione, I'm so sorry you had to see that. You deserve someone so much better."
"Do you really think so?" she said tilting her head up towards him. She looked so beautiful, even when her eyes were red and puffy. He looked down at her lips, he wanted to kiss her but he knew it was not right.
"Yes Hermione I think you deserve the very best. Why don't you go get freshened up and I'll walk you to breakfast."
"Ok." She said getting up off his lap.
"Wait a minute, does he know that you caught him?"
"No, when I saw I just ran from the room."
"Alright, go on and get freshened up." He said shooing her up the stairs. Draco then went to his desk, and a piece of parchment.
Potter-
She found out. Meet us here in our common room to help me walk her down to the breakfast. He doesn't know she found out, so don't kill him, yet. I have a feeling she'll want some form of revenge. Hurry.
-Malfoy.
Draco handed the letter to his owl and instructed to make sure Potter got the message at all costs. After if flew off, he sat down in his arm chair. A few minutes later Hermione started to come down the stairs, pausing halfway down the steps. It took all of Draco's will-power to not push her up against the wall and ravish her right here and now. She had changed into her shortest skirt making her legs seem endless. She had also put on her tightest shirt. Her robes hung open so you could get the full view. If that didn't scream 'I'm single' the fact that she had taken off the necklace that the Weasel had given her, did. His eyes drifted back up to her face which had his smirk plastered on it.
"You know after knowing you for seven years, I have a feeling you're planning something." Her smirk just got bigger.
Just then they heard someone knocking at the portrait. Draco got up to let in a very winded Harry.
"Hello Harry." Hermione said walking down the rest of the stairs.
"Hermione." He started before catching his breath. "I'm very sorry. I should have told you."
"It's ok Harry; I understand that you were just looking out for me." The smirk was still plastered on her face; Harry looked over at Draco for some kind of help. Draco just shrugged his shoulders, before turning to Hermione.
"Are you ready to go to breakfast?"
"Yes I am." With that they all started to walk towards the portrait. "Oh Draco?" she asked causing him to stop and face her. "Could you do me a favor?"
"Sure what is it?" he asked placing his hand on her lower back, helping to guide her out the portrait.
"Could you sit with Harry and I at the Gryffindor Table?" Draco looked at Harry who only nodded.
"Sure, but are you sure that's what you want?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, I haven't really figured out what I want to do to get back at him just yet, but I would really like you two to be with me when I break up with him." She told them as they walked down the hall, Draco's hand still on her back. When they reached the doors to the Great Hall, Hermione stopped.
"Are you ok Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Is he in there?" she whispered
"I'm not sure, he wasn't in the room when Draco's bloody owl pecked me to death." This made Draco laugh. Hermione took a deep breath and opened the doors. Draco led her in, and towards the Table. Her eyes found Ron immediately. His face was turning the same shade as his hair, as he was watching all the male students ogling his girlfriend. Then he saw Draco's hand.
"HERMIONE! WHY THE HELL IS THAT FERRET TOUCHING YOU?" he screamed as he jumped up from his seat to rip her away from Draco. The whole Hall was silent as Hermione stepped away from Ron.
"I don't know Ron, why was that slut naked in your bed this morning?" she asked pointing towards Lavender. The color drained instantly from his face as he watched Draco lead Hermione away.
"Hermione!" he yelled as he ran to where they were seated. "I am so sorry, please forgive me. It won't happen again." At this statement Draco stood up and punched Ron in the face breaking his nose and knocking him out. Upon seeing Ron knocked out Lavender screamed and rushed to his side.
"Malfoy how could you!" she screamed as tears came to her eyes. In the mean time the Professors were coming down from the Head Table.
"Mister Malfoy! Detention!" cried Professor McGonagall.
"Professor," Hermione said standing up, "I must ask you to reconsider." The Professor stared at her star-pupil in complete shock.
"Why Miss Granger?" she asked regaining her composure.
"Because Draco was just protecting me."
"Do explain Miss Granger." Professor Dumbledore said interrupting.
"Ron has been cheating on me all school year. Draco and Harry have both caught them together and each time Ron swore to end it. This morning I found Lavender in Ron's bed, naked. Draco punched Ron to save me from hearing the lies that were spilling out of his mouth. So I must ask that you please not give him a detention."
Professor McGonagall looked at Professor Dumbledore who merely nodded.
"Unfortunately Mister Malfoy, no matter how noble your actions may be, we cannot let you go unpunished. 50 points from Slytherin, but no detention." She smiled towards Hermione before turning around and walking back to the Head Table, where she started to talk to Professor Snape.
Professor Dumbledore bent down to pick the still unconscious Ron up. "Mister Malfoy, Miss Granger, Mister Potter, and Miss Brown, please follow me" The four students followed the professor out of the Hall and towards the Hospital Wing, not saying a word. After dropping Ron off, they all made their way to the Headmaster's office.
"Lemon Drops." Once in his office, the Professor conjured up two extra chairs for the students to sit in.
"So, will somebody please explain to me what happened?" Lavender sneered before speaking.
"Hermione wouldn't sleep with him, so he came to me."
"When did it start?"
"On the train, when Hermione was at her Head Girl meeting." Hermione gasped, she knew it had been going on for a couple months, but on the train? Draco leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Keep your emotions in check, she's trying to get a rise out of you." Hermione nodded, showing she understood, and kept her eyes on Lavender as she continued her tale.
"At first he felt bad about cheating on her, but he still came back. He said she had left him unsatisfied because of something she had to do with Malfoy. About a week later Malfoy caught us out on patrol, which really disappointed me because I thought it was her night to patrol. Well, Ron swore that he'd end it, but Malfoy didn't seem pleased. Ron put two and two together and figured out that something must be going on between the two. So he started hanging out in their common room more often to keep an eye on her, and then he'd come and bed me, every night." Her sneer was one to rival any Slytherin.
"Miss Brown, what happened last night?" Professor Dumbledore asked wanting to cut to the chase.
"Well Gryffindor was partying about their win against Slytherin, and Miss Goody-goody over there left not even half-way through. Ron and I were the last two up, and well Professor, I'll spare you the dirty details. Let's just say I satisfied him in a way he's never been satisfied before, and then we fell asleep."
"Thank you Miss Brown, please go to Professor McGonagall's office." Lavender stood and waltzed out. Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione as she started to cry, her sobs echoing throughout the Professor's office.
"Mister Malfoy, I know your main concern is Miss Granger at the moment, but I need you to tell your account of what happened."
"The night I caught them it was supposed to be Hermione's patrol. For some reason we switched at the last minute, though I don't remember why. Well I was almost done with my rounds. I rounded a corner on the fourth floor and they were in plain view. When I confronted him he got scared and begged me not to say a word. He swore he'd end it. I threatened to hex them if I ever caught them again. Ron then started hanging around the common room on almost a daily basis. I figured his fling was over until Potter came to me a little over a month ago." The Professor raised his hand to stop Draco before turning to Harry.
"Mister Potter, your story please." Harry, who had been staing at the floor the whole time, looked up and met the Professor's eyes.
"They were at the Quidditch Pitch. When I walked out with my broom, they were snogging on his. He claimed it was an accident, they had gotten over excited while he was teaching her to fly. I can't believe I just let it go."
"You didn't, you came to me." Draco interrupted.
"Both of you were looking out for a friend. That is all that counts, beating yourself up in not going to help Miss Granger." All three men looked down at the girl in question only to find out she had fallen asleep in Draco's arms.
well that's the first chapter, let me know what you think :)
