Chapter 2: Confirmation

Disclaimer: Harry Potter's not mine. But Draco totally is.

Just kidding.

Author's Note: This one came up really quick because of the review! Thanks, by the way! And also, I forgot to tell you guys this in the first chapter. I'm copying everything we're writing from the pieces of paper we wrote it on previously. So there may be some references to pens and papers that will sound weird, but the other Kimberly told me I had to put them in. Haha. So, yeah. Enjoy reading!

It was almost noon the next day when Hermione finally woke up from her deep sleep. She rubbed her eyes groggily – walking into that sunset with Draco the day before had nearly blinded her.

"Hey, Herms." Parvati beamed from the next bed. "Is it weird that I just only thought of that nickname for you?! But, whatevs. Do you luh-v it?"

Hermione frowned. It was like she had woken up in a very bad Clique novel. "Um, Parvati? What happened to your British accent?"

Parvati shrugged. "Like, I woke up, and, like – "

"HERMIONE!"

"Dang, it's that dumbo Harry again." Hermione sighed. "Sorry, Parv, I have to go."

She dressed hastily then hurried down the stairs into the Gryffindor common room. Harry was standing at the bottom of the steps, his face red from yelling.

"What's up, Harry?" Hermione asked, using her 'Oh-Harry-your-scar-again?-I'm-so-concerned!' voice.

Harry sighed nervously. "Okay, see, I kind of found this note in your book yesterday – "

"Which book?"

"Um, the one you were reading yesterday?"

"Oh! The latest edition of Hogwarts: A History?"

"… no. Breaking Dawn."

Hermione's mouth dropped open. "No. Freaking. Way."

"Hermione, are you secretly dating Draco Malfoy?"

"I, uh – we just – he didn't – you – well, see – um, someone – I couldn't – YESDAMMITWEAREDATING!"

And with that, she fled.

ooooooooooooooooo

Tears blurred Hermione's vision as she stalked toward the wall that concealed the Room of Requirement. Harry wasn't supposed to find out about her and Draco – now he'd hate her forever.

She paced in front of the wall, muttering under her breath, "I need a place to get away from it all."

Just as the door appeared, she heard footsteps behind her and spun around, not wanting anyone to follow her into the room.

Draco grinned at her, but his smile disappeared at the sight of her miserable expression. "What's wrong?"

She rushed toward him and melted into his embrace, tears sliding down her cheeks. "Harry found out about us! What do we do?"

Draco frowned. "You could always Obliviate him."

Hermione glared at him. "I would never do that! The 'Obliviation' spell can have nasty side effects, you know."

Suddenly, they heard a high, squeaky voice from behind them. "Romeo, oh, Romeo! Where fort art thou, Romeo?"

Draco turned and stared. "I don't care about the side effects – I'm definitely Obliviating myself after this."

Ron was prancing around in the corridor wearing puffy red pants and a ruffly white shirt. He was holding a thick book and his voice alternated between high and low, depending on his line.

Hermione gasped. "He can read?"

Ron stopped prancing at the sound of her voice and turned red, his eyes widening. "Hermione!"

He glanced at Draco, and it was ten minutes before he registered what he was seeing. He gaped. "What's going on here?"

Hermione racked her brains for a logical explanation for being with Draco in a random hallway. "We were just, um, discussing our Head duties!"

Ron looked confused. "But you're not Heads."

"Damn!" Hermione muttered. Stupid fanfiction! It was seriously confusing her.

Draco sighed. "Okay, listen, Weasley. Granger and I are secretly dating. Don't tell anyone, or we'll tell everyone about your little Romeo and Juliet thing. Okay?"

Ron fainted.

A/N: And yes, that is a sort of cliffhanger. MUAHAHAHA! Kind of crack-y (or maybe not. But I tried!) specially for the Pawan. I guess you should do third chapter on the other side of this piece of paper. Otherwise it'd be wasting paper. =D

And I know. I kind of totally forgot about the Room of Requirement. But whatevs. =D
