Author's note: Thank you for all of the wonderful reviews! Here is chapter 2. And again, please review!
After dinner Ron stormed off to the Slytherin table.
" What do you want now?" asked Draco in a tone that showed that he was annoyed with Ron.
" I want to talk to my friend, is that alright?" said Ron.
" And what if it's not?" said Draco getting up.
" Well too bad!" said Ron as he took Hermione's wrist. Draco grabbed Ron's wrist and dug his nails into it.
" Let go" Draco said through clenched teeth. Ron glared at Draco then punched him with so much force that he was sent to the ground. Draco got up and struck back.
" Stop it!" yelled Hermione. " Come on, break it up!"
Goyle got up and held Ron back. " Stay away from her Weasley" Draco warned.
Ron glared at him. " Don't count on it Draco. She deserves better than you."
" Come on Hermione" said Draco.
Hermione followed him out of the Great Hall. Ron tore himself from Goyle's grip and followed the two out of the hall. He followed close behind being careful not to be seen.
" Draco where are we going?" asked Hermione.
"Some where to keep you away from the weasel." Draco answered.
They went down to the dungeons. Ron had never been this far down in the dungeons before. The two slipped into a stall with a barred windowed door. Ron couldn't hear what they were saying.
(Inside the stall)
" Just a word of caution sweetheart. If you ever leave me you'll regret it dearly." He kissed her then went back outside and locked the door. Ron waited for Draco to disappear, and then he moved up to the door.
" Hey Hermione" said Ron.
" Ron! What are you doing here?"
" I followed that boyfriend of yours down here. I'm gonna try to get you out."
"Don't! I'm fine." Exclaimed Hermione." I'll just get in more trouble."
" How long is he keeping you in here?" Ron asked.
" I don't know. Ron just get out of here!"
"No. Hermione you deserve better than him!"
" NO! He loves me! He just gets a little mad sometimes. He's gotten better at controlling his anger.
"Yeah, I would really call locking you up in a cell controlling his anger."
" You don't understand! He just wants to keep me safe! I cant…I ... I shouldn't be talking to you" said Hermione.
" Why? Because your boyfriend said so?" said Ron.
There was no answer. He continued…
" Fine, be that way. But if he hurts you again you can always come to me."
There was a pause of silence again. Then Hermione silently said…
" What makes you think that he's hurting me?"
"It's a little obvious with all the bruises you come back with after your dates with him" said Ron.
Silence again.
" Why are you doing this for me?" Hermione asked.
" B-because I care about you Hermione. I love you" Ron said. Then he left.
After the quittich game was over Draco came down still in his quittich robes. He let Hermione out of the stall,
" Sorry 'bout that. Ready to have some real fun?" said Draco.
" Yeah" Hermione answered. When Draco wasn't mad he was really fun.
The two walked out of the dungeon and to the quittich field. Harry and Ron were also on the field. The whole school was in the stands and Harry was still in his robes.
" So, you finally let her out of her cage then" said Ron.
Draco
gave Hermione and Ron a suspicious look the said, "I don't know what you're
talking about. Do you Hermione?"
"No.
What's going on out here?" said Hermione.
" Well, Harry caught the snitch. But, we tied anyway. So we decided to have a race to see who wins. Harry and I get to choose someone to represent out house. We'll also be racing though." Answered Draco.
Marcus Flint the Slytherin captain handed Hermione his broom.
" Wait! She can't represent Slytherin. She's a Griffendor!" bellowed a Griffendor named Lee Jordan.
" She's my girlfriend. Therefore she can represent Slytherin. Anyway Snape gave her permission." Draco replied.
The four mounted their brooms and took off. Harry was in lead with Hermione on his tail. Draco and Ron were behind, mainly because Ron tried knocking Draco off of his broom. So now they were fighting. Hermione sped up and started to pass Harry.
"'Lo Harry!" said Hermione cheerfully. "Having a nice flight?" Then she blasted ahead and won the race. Slytherin cheered. When Ron and Draco came down, Draco put his arm around Hermione.
" Wonderful darling! I knew you wouldn't let me down." Said Draco.
" How could I?" said Hermione. " I love you to much"
" I love you too" said Draco leaning down and kissing her.
Ron looked disgusted. He thought ' I can't believe her! After what he did to her.'
Chapter 3 coming soon!
