2: you can't explain, as your friends complain.
"Hermione, where were you? You missed our first class." Harry asked her.
"for your information, I was in my room crying my eyes out, if that's alright with you" Hermione
replied, somewhat defensively.
"really? Because I checked. You weren't in there. And from what I
understand, Draco wasn't in his first class either..." Harry
questioned.
Harry had thought there was something up between them for months. He
saw the way they looked at each other from afar. He'd seen them
giggling to each other in abandoned hallways. He'd even begun checking
the marauders map for them every time they missed class. And, much to
his dismay, they were always together in the same room. He needed to
know what was going on, if not for his own sanity, then for Ron's. Ron
hadn't been the same since Hermione began distancing herself from him.
Ron loved Hermione. He loved every single thing about her, and her
distance was killing him. She kept him sane. With every passing day, a
little bit more of his sanity slipped away from him.
"Well, Harry. How am I supposed to know where that foul creature is at
all times?" Hermione spat.
"I don't know. I just thought it was a bit odd that you weren't in your
first class and neither was he, that's all" Harry replied.
Hermione had no way to reply to that. She hated lying to Harry. He was
one of the greatest people she'd ever met. And she hated feeling like
she had to lie to make him happy.
Despite her dislike of having to lie to one of her best friends, she
did just that
"Harry, he followed me to harass me even more. Honestly. After that, I
went back up to my room and cried my eyes out. He's so mean and I
haven't ever done anything to him for him to be this way"
Her explanation was good enough to shut Harry up. He wrapped his arms
around her and stroked her hair, in a comforting manner
"I'm sorry 'Mione. I was letting Ron's assumptions get the best of me.
I know there is nothing going on between you and that git."
Though, Harry had said that, he couldn't help thinking that he just might be wrong.
What if there was something between them? Draco is Harry's worst enemy at Hogwarts.
They've had it out for each other since their first year. How would he handle his best friend having
a little fling with his worst enemy?
There was a point in time when Hermione believed she loved Ron.
However, he was unable to admit that he loved her, which ultimately
lead to her giving up on him and him being stuck with Lavender Brown, a
girl he didn't remotely have romantic feelings toward.
'serves him right, stupid child' Hermione thought to herself every time
she saw them together.
Her thoughts quickly turned from Ron to the interrogation Harry had put her under earlier.
'He knows nothing. There is no concievible way that he could have any idea what is going on between Malfoy and me"However, the one thing Hermione didn't take into consideration that Harry is just as clever
as she is, and he has his ways of finding out information about people.
