The War is over and everyone is returning to Hogwarts to retake their seventh year, hoping for a quiet year. But, come on, this is Hogwarts … when have they ever had a quiet year? When Ron and Hermione have a fight and Harry takes Ron's side, who will Hermione turn to?

Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling, if it belonged to me Fred would still be alive and married to Hermione. (Or Hermione would be married to Draco and Fred would be off doing whatever the Weasley twins do)

"Hey, Granger!" Draco Malfoy called.
Hermione spun around, ready to hex him at a moments notice, "What do you want, Malfoy?" She spat, ignoring the other four Slytherins behind him.
"Put the wand down!"
Hermione glanced at the wand she was pointing at Malfoy. She hadn't even realised she'd taken it out of her pocket. Sighing, she lowered it and looked at Draco questioningly.
"So…we heard that you and Potter had a fight…"
Hermione grimaced, "I had a fight with Ronald, actually, Harry just took his side!"

*Flashback*

Hermione was quite happy. She'd been released from Potions early because of her good work, she hadn't had any run-ins with Draco Malfoy, and she had a date with Ron that evening. She smiled at the Fat Lady as she said the password and stepped through the doorway. She hadn't noticed them at first, as she placed her books on the table. She may not have noticed them at all if she hadn't glanced in the corner as she sat down. She gasped, causing Ron and Lavender to spring apart. Lavender blushed while Ron gaped at Hermione.
"Mi … you're back early!"
"Slughorn let me go five minutes early … what's going on?" She asked, knowing full well what had been going on.
"Nothing!" Ron said quickly. Too quickly.
"Don't lie to me, Ronald!" Hermione yelled, "Oh, and by the way … Lavender?"
"Yes?" Lavender squeaked.
"Are you aware that you're still sitting on Ron's lap?"
Lavender squeaked and sprang up, just as Harry hurried down the stairs from the boys' dorms.
"What's going on? I heard yelling!"
He spotted Hermione and groaned.
"I'm assuming you knew?"
"Uh … no .. I mean … I don't know what you're talking about!"
Hermione snorted, "You're a terrible liar, Harry Potter!"
"I'm sorry! I knew!" Harry blurted out.
"Harry!" Ron cried.
"And you never told me?" Hermione said, trying to remain calm.
Harry shrugged while giving her an apologetic look, "Ron's my friend!"
"Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, Harry … so am I!" Hermione cried. And, scared she was going to lose her temper, she hurried out of the common room before the tears started.

*End flashback*

When Hermione came back to reality, she was surprised to find tears rolling down her cheeks, Pansy Parkinson's arm around her and four boys looking at her awkwardly.
"Look," Draco said, "I know we've had our differences … but we … are willing to help you."

Damn, this looked a lot longer when I was writing it by hand ... at 1am this morning (so if it's terrible ... that's why!)
