What A Friend Is For:
After just getting into another row with Malfoy about being only a half witch, Hermionie was found by Harry crying in the grifindor common room. He found it his duty as one of her two best friends to help comfort her and relax her when she was upset.
"Hey mionie"
Sniffling she replied, " Hey Harry," trying not let on that she had been crying though she couldn't hide anything from her best friends, "How was your day"
"Eh, you know a little of complaining here and whining their from the team but were really starting to come along, you should come by the quidich pitch some time and watch us play"
"I'd like that, but I unlike you have studying to do"
"Do you ever take your head out of your books?"
"HEY! I don't spend all day reading I'm not a library-" he cut her off
"It was a rhetorical question mionie no reason to take offence but I apologise"
"Thank you"
Being totally humiliated at misunderstanding him and now feeling guilty about and regretting snapping at him but how could she not when the day she went through was so rough, she began blushing which, was fallowed by an irritating silence which was broken by Harry saying, " Hermionie I haven't said anything till now but what as got you all upset and flustered to the point that you were crying when I walked in?"
"I was not crying!"
"Yes, yes you were you can't hide it from me"
"Well if you must know, Draco was teasing me again but this time it went to far, he.., he…" she right then and there burst out in tears and turned her head because she couldn't bare to see her best friend see her cry but Harry would have none of it and said, "Mionie I have a empty shoulder with your name on it, just rest your head on it that what I'm here for"
"Thanks I just don't want to be a bother"
"Your not don't worry just glad I can help now just let it out let it all out"
"Ok" She began telling him everything that Draco had said. Draco had told her that she was a disgrace to the wizarding community and should go back to the muggle hole that she came from.
"Oh My God, Hermionie I'm so sorry he's such a jerk"
"I know, but it still hurts"
"Here, here don't worry just relax and you feel better"
With that they both feel asleep leaning on each other when they finally awoke in the middle of the night Harry surprised Hermionie with a deep and passionate kiss.
"What was that for?"
"To help you forget about that moron Malfoy and to say good night"
While Hermionie was trying to keep herself from blushing and giggling Harry said one final good night and headed up to the boys dormitory and Hermionie to the girls and so ended a good ending to a bad day.
