"Hermione, I think that maybe you and Harry are over," Draco confided. Hermione sighed. Lucy was asleep and Hermione was on the couch with Draco in the other chair. Rolling onto her side, Hermione looked at Draco.
"But...I don't know how he can do this to me!" she protested. Draco shrugged.
"I always told you Potter was an ass," he replied, smirking. Hermione scowled.
"Don't you dare start that 'I told you so' rubbish," she retorted.
"But I did."
Hermione sighed again.
"I know. It's just...oh, Draco!" she sobbed, her eyes allowing tears down her face. Draco sat on the couch next to her and laid down, both pressed against each other. Draco slid a hand up and thumbed away her tears. Hermione closed her eyes, breathed deeply and snuggled to get a more comfortable position.
"I miss Harry, I still love him, but I miss his love," Hermione whispered. Draco flinched slightly. He had grown so close to Hermione since Harry had gone away and now she confessed that she still loved Harry.
"I love you too, Draco, don't get me wrong, but I got a child through Harry. But you are one of my best friends in the world, Draco. Thank you," she added. Draco wrapped an arm around Hermione's shoulders and placed a kiss on her lips. Hermione shivered and yawned.
Soon she was fast asleep and Draco left the couch, carrying Hermione into her room. He tucked her in and then set about trying to find Harry. He had a score to settle.

A/N: Ok, if you don't like the Draco/Hermione stuff, allow me to point you in the direction of most of my other fics, they are nearly all Hermione/Draco in some way. There will be a fair bit of Draco/Hermione, nothing really 'intimate' but kisses and hugs and talking, etc. Harry and Hermione will get together but it isn't going to happen next chapter if you want to know. Anyway, on with the story!

Draco tracked down where Harry was staying. Some Muggle hotel, so, saying he was an old friend, the concierge gave Draco Harry's room number. Thanking him, Draco caught the lift up to Harry's floor after a bit of trouble. He soon found the door and knocked on it.
A girl opened it and Draco looked at her.
"Who are you?" Draco asked.
"Who are you?" she retorted.
"I'm a friend of Harry's," Draco told her.
"He doesn't have many of those at the moment. Anyway, my name is Connie, I'm Harry's girlfriend. I believe he went to see his ex a few hours ago but he hasn't come back yet. Can I take a message?" Connie gushed.
"No, I need to talk to him in person. I'll find him, thanks anyway," he replied. Nodding, Connie closed the door. Draco strode back to the lift and went down. He walked outside and down a quiet alley way, then with a pop, he was gone, apparating to the Weasley's house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"Hi, Draco!" Ginny announced happily when she opened the door. "What brings you here?"
"Business," Draco replied shortly. Ginny frowned, her face in concentration.
"What sort of business?" she asked puzzled.
"Is Ron around?"
"Yes."
"Great," he said, pushing past her. Ginny stood at the door, staring after Draco's disappearing figure, still trying to figure out why he had come.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Draco knocked on Ron's door, waiting for an admission.
"Yes? Come in!" Ron called from inside.
Opening the door, Draco peered around the corner.
"Yo, Malfoy!" Ron cried, jumping up and slapping Draco on the back playfully. When he saw Draco's stormy expression, he added, "Sorry, Draco."
"Do you know where Harry goes to get drunk?" Draco responded.
"Huh?" Ron asked.
"Harry, drunk. Where does he go?" Draco repeated.
"Oh, er...he used to go to Lillian McAdams on..."
"I know where it is," Draco said, hurrying out of the room.
"Why do you want to know?" Ron yelled.
"Don't worry!" Draco called back, apparating to the bar.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
Harry sat at a table in the shadows, spinning his beer bottle with his index finger. He was a bit out of it but still knew his surroundings. A girl came over and took his bottle, placing a new one in front of him. He smiled slightly and sat.
Hermione, Connie, Hermione, Connie. Who did he love more? Connie was new, someone young and 'out-there'. Hermione was smart, conservative, pretty in her own way, and was a single mum. His old flame of years and years.
Another girl in black leather walked over to him. Her shiny top was pressed against her skin and showed everything under it. The pants were the same. She had dark eye shadow on and chains hung from everything.
"Hi there," she drawled. Harry ignored her. She pouted and shuffled behind him. Digging her hands through his hair, she wrapped her legs around his chair and Harry's stomach. Harry later wondered how she managed to keep the chair upright but at that moment he pushed her off.
She cried out and stalked off, somewhat put off. Harry heard a crack outside and figured a tree had snapped somewhere. The door opened as a tall man walked into the bar. He strode up to the counter and spoke to the bar tender. Getting him a drink, the man tossed some coins across the table and sat sipping at his drink.
The woman whom Harry had tossed off loped over to the man. She ran her fingers down his jacket and he stiffened. With a sudden movement, she was on the floor. No one saw what happened because it happened too fast, but the girl looked at him alarmed, then ran out of the bar.
The man relaxed again and called the bar tender over and talked with him. The man was pointed in the direction of Harry and he got up. As he got up he realised who it was.
"Draco?" he asked uncertainly.
Draco kept walking to him, his blonde hair picking up light as he continued his journey. When he got to Harry, he heaved him up by his shirt and threw him against a wall, pinning him.
"You'd better be careful about who you choose. You've already broken Hermione's heart twice, you could lose her all together. That slut that you have for a girlfriend is nothing compared to Hermione. Watch out, because I'm protecting her," Draco murmured in Harry's ear. Draco dropped Harry to the floor and walked outside. Harry heard another crack and knew now that Draco had been apparating.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*
"How long have I been out?" Hermione muttered as she got out of bed the following morning. She shuffled out to the kitchen and saw Draco with Lucy.
"How long have you been there?" she questioned. He shrugged.
"Couple of hours, I spose."
Hermione wandered over and picked Lucy up. Giving her a quick feed she put her back to sleep as Lucy kept yawning. Hermione returned to Draco and sat on the couch next to him, tipping her head to rest on his shoulder.
"What's up?" she whispered on his shoulder.
"I just needed a place to crash."
Hermione nodded as Draco moved to lie down. Hermione snuggled onto his chest as Draco held her head up with his hand. She was pulled up closer to him and their lips connected. Hermione responded by wrapping her hands around Draco's neck as Draco cradled her hips.
"Draco...I can't," Hermione said under her breath. Draco pulled off painfully before they fell asleep together.
