Authors note: I do not, unfortunately own Harry Potter.
The next morning after washing and dressing, Malfoy and Hermoine walked down with each other again. They had decided that people will just have to get used to it.
Hermoine sat down next to Harry with Ron across from her. Ron glared at her. "What was that for?" Hermoine asked Harry after Ron said he wasn't hungry anymore and got up and left.
"Well, since I don't want to tell you alone, and Ron should be here when I tell you, hurry up and eat so we can go to the Gryffindor dorms and tell you?" Harry said.
"Okay, whatever." Hermoine said wonderingly.
Once she was done eating Harry and Hermoine started towards the Gryffindor common room. Once they stepped past the Fat Lady, Ron gave Hermoine another glare.
"Okay, last night…." Harry began, but was cut off by Ron.
"We kinda-sorta saw you snogging Malfoy." Ron said, amazingly calm.
"WHAT YOU GUYS FOLLOWED US?" yelled Hermoine.
"Who said that?" Ron asked.
"Well, how else did you see me 'snogging Malfoy'? Besides it was one peck on the forehead!" Hermoine said, trying to regain her composure.
"Fine maybe we followed you. But I also heard you talking about me!" Ron shot at Hermoine.
"WELL, NOW I KNOW IT'S TRUE! JUST BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT YOU, YOU GO AND GET MAD AND FOLLOW ME?" asked Hermoine, not even trying to keep quiet. She could see Ron turning red. Everyone in the common room was staring.
"Hermoine…Ron…calm down…." Harry pleaded.
"I AM NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN!" Hermoine said. Tears streaking down her face. Behind her she heard Ginny say "I told you not to follow her, Ron!"
Hermoine ran as fast as she could; hiding her face, back to the Head Common Room.
When she stepped into the Head Common Room she saw Malfoy's friends. Malfoy saw her, too. She ran to her room and through the door she heard him announce "Okay guys, time to pack up, yes, now." After she heard them all leave she heard a knocking on her door "Hey, mind coming out here and telling me what happened?" he asked. She stood up, opened the door and walked into the common room. He took her hand and led her over to the couch and sat down.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Ron and Harry followed us last night." Hermoine said, still crying.
"They did what? Those little twerps." Malfoy said.
"Harry didn't want to, Ron made him. He got mad at me for turning him down and then leaving with you. They said they saw you 'snogging' me, but you only kissed me on the forehead." Hermoine said trying to calm down.
"Well, you're away from them now, your safe right here with me," Malfoy told her. "No one can take you away from me."
Hermoine didn't say a word. She just layed her head on his and listened to his heartbeat. She soon fell asleep. When she woke up, she still had her head on Malfoy's chest.
"Hello, sleepy head." Malfoy said.
"Hey, thanks for helping me calm down." Hermoine replied.
"No problem. I was just wondering… you want to go to Hogsmeade with me? There's still time." Malfoy asked.
"Sure. It sounds like fun, and anything I can do to keep my mind off Ron." Hermoine said, surprised Malfoy asked her to come. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! He does like me.
Before she knew it, she was having the time of her life. After they drank some butterbeer and went to get some candy, they went to the joke shop.
"Let's get some tricks to play on Ron!" joked malfoy.
"Hey, Ron might be an annoyin, two-faced, twerp, but I don't want to sink that low. Okay, maybe I do, but I won't." Hermoine said.
Once they were back at the Castle, they went straight to the Head dorms to go to bed.
