Hermione's PoV

I held Draco's hand as we walked to Herbology together.

'I know he says we love each other, but something just doesn't feel right. I mean, shouldn't there be some kind of connection or something?'

Draco looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, but when he looked away, my face fell again.

'I should believe him. If I love him, I love him... but I can't help feeling like there's something wrong here.'

We entered Herbology, and I felt eyes staring at us.

'Why are they all staring? Don't they have some clue I love him? Unless... No, Draco wouldn't do that to me. Or maybe he would. I really don't know him all that well. The only things I know about him is what he tells me. How do I know he's telling the truth?'

"Hermione?" someone said, bringing me out of my thoughts.

I looked up. Draco was staring at me. "Yes?"

"Class is about to start."

"Oh. Right." I said, looking across the table. Ron was glaring at us. He seemed to be alot of the time, actually.

"I'll talk to you after class, Draco." I said over my shoulder, focused on Ron as I walked over to him.

I heard Draco say something in protest, but I didn't care.

"Hi Ron." I said, walking up next to him.

"What do you want?" his voice was cold.

"I thought you could use a partner. That's all I'm good for these days. It's the only thing I didn't lose when I hit my head."

"Why don't you go be your boyfriend's partner?" he spat, his voice still cold.

"Well I haven't talked to you in awhile. I thought we could catch up."

"No thanks. I'll stick with Harry."

I turned him towards me. "Ron! Is there a reason you're acting like this towards me?"

He looked into my eyes. They were as cold as his words. "Acting like what?"

"Don't play dumb, Ronald. Why are you acting like you hate me?"

"Maybe I do."

My chest hurt when he said that. Right where my heart was.

"Fine then." I said, playing it off like it didn't matter, like nothing happened. I started to walk away.

I felt a hand grab my arm. "Hermione, wait."

I turned back to face him. "What?" Now my voice was cold.

"I'm sorry. I don't hate you. It's just... you and Malfoy together isn't normal. You despised him before you lost your memory."

"That's not what I've heard."

"Of course you haven't. He wants you to think he's a good guy, but he's not."

I stared at him. He motioned to the seat next to him. "Want to be my partner?"

"Hmm I don't know. I'll have to think about it."

"Alright."

I stood there for a bit, pretending to think.

Ron pulled a bag out of his pocket. "I'll give you a Red Vine if you be my partner."

"Are you trying to bribe me, Weasley?"

"Depends. Is it working?"

I laughed and sat down next to him. He pulled a Red Vine out and held it out to me.

"Later. Let's get to work."

The assignment was to get pods out of a plant, but it fought you for them.

"Alright. Here I go." I said, getting my arm ready. I shoved my arm into the plant and searched for a pod. When my hand found one, I grabbed it and pulled. I felt something wrap around my wrist, pulling me back towards the inside of the plant.

"Ron, help!" I said, pulling harder. He gently grabbed my arm and started to pull.

"It's not working!" I said, starting to panic a little.

He reached his arm in the plant and grabbed my hand. He pulled and successfully got my hand and the pod out of the plant. I dropped the pod on the table in relief. After a few seconds, I realized Ron was still holding my hand. I blushed, but my mind didn't know why.

'There's something about Ron... I don't know what it is. He makes me feel something that no one else can. Could it be because...?'

"Well, we got them all out." Ron said as we walked out of the greenhouse together.

"With a few scratches." I said, looking at my hands. They were slightly pink and had small scratches on them.

Ron took my hand and kissed the top of it. My face went red and I looked at the ground.

Suddenly, the hand he was holding was smacked down and someone wrapped their arm around me. I looked up to see Draco standing next to me. Ron was glaring at him, and Draco returned his glare.

"Hi Draco." I said, then kissed his cheek.

Ron looked even more upset at this. He turned away from us and started to walk away.

"Ron, wait." I said, making a move to follow him.

Draco wrapped both his arms around me, keeping me back. "Let him go. Besides, we just had a whole class period away from each other." he said, turning me towards him.

He leaned down towards me and kissed me softly on the lips. I opened one of my eyes to see Ron staring at us. He looked like he wanted to smack someone. He abruptly turned around and almost ran back into the castle. I contracted my brow in confusion. I still didn't understand anything, really.

Draco broke off the kiss and smiled at me. I smiled back, reaching my hand out to take his. He gripped my hand firmly and started walking again. I followed him, as I had all day today.

'I'm putting too much thought into everything. Everything will work itself out... right?'
