Suddenly, there was silence in the room. The only sound you could hear was everyone breathing. It was the calm before the storm. The calm didn't last very long though. Ron pulled his wand and threw a hex at Draco. Luckily, he ducked just in time but Harry had pulled out his wand. Before anyone knew it, Harry, Ron and Draco were all duelling, but it was two against one. To Harry's surprise, he found that he worked quite well as a team with the bouncing ferret. Before the duel ended however, Professor McGonagall came running towards them.

"Well, never before in my life have I ever seen such horrifying behaviour from Hogwarts students! Especially from grown men like yourselves! Mr Potter and Mr Weasley, you are war heroes. Out of everyone I would of expected you to promote unity within the Wizarding world!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed furiously. Suddenly, Professor Weasley appeared and her whole body was shaking with fury.

"Ronald Weasley! How dare you be so rude? I thought your father and I had raised you better than this. So what if Mr Malfoy decided to give Hermione a gift? You should be happy that this programme that the Minister of Magic has set up is working! I am very ashamed of you! If you dare have such a horrible outburst again, you will be sent straight home!"

Ron's ears turned bright red and he quickly stormed out of the Great Hall to escape his embarrassment. The situation in the Great Hall was really tense so Harry, Hermione and Draco excused themselves to get away from the silence. Once outside, Draco surprised both Harry and Hermione by sticking out his hand.

"Look Potter, I know we had our differences but today I realised that we work really well as a team so I would like to call a truce." Harry shook the offered hand before Draco left. Hermione was still slightly stupefied for this act of friendship without being asked to. Inside she was feeling giddy with excitement. Her best friend and fiancée were friends!

"Let's take a walk along the gardens," Harry suggested.

While they were walking, there was a gentle breeze blowing so it was a really nice atmosphere, to just get away from the stress of the new Parenting Class law.

"Do you like Malfoy now, Hermione?"

"I don't know Harry, sometimes, he's so romantic and sweet. He buys me pretty gifts and makes me feel so special. I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world when I'm with him. With Ron, even though he hugged me and kissed me, I didn't feel special. I just felt normal. With Draco, I feel beautiful."

"Ron loved you, you know."

"If he loved me, he wouldn't have cheated on me," Hermione explained bitterly. "If you love someone, you don't cheat with on them with your ex-girlfriend."

"Even though he did cheat on you, he did love you. He thought you were beautiful but sometimes he thought that all you did was complain about Malfoy. He was jealous and couldn't help but feel a bit bored with your relationship. It was just the same as when you two were best friends and he wanted to feel like a super hero. You know Ron, he is always overshadowed by his brothers and he just wants to stand out and be the one everyone looks up to."

"Since when did you become so wise Harry? Still, doesn't he know the sacrifice to be looked up to? There is so much pain in it. He's a selfish git and you know it Harry."

Harry just looked sadly at Hermione, not saying a word.

"Thanks for talking to me Harry. I'm so glad you and I are still such close friends." Then with a kiss on the cheek and a smile, Harry walked away. Hermione decided to continue walking for a bit, delighted by the peacefulness of the night, something that was now rare. She was now walking down towards the lake when she heard someone sobbing. It sounded like a grown man and she was curious who was crying by the lake. To her surprise, it was a man carrying a black letter. It was Draco Malfoy.
