A/N: Okay, thanks sooo much for all of the
reviews I'm getting. They encourage me to keep
writing! Hahaha. I would have updated earlier, but
my internet was broken so I was bored out of my
mind and decided to write this and I guess that I'll
update it later when it's working again, I guess.
Melora Brockert: Thanks for suggesting that website, I joined (:
SarcasticProcrastinaton-AMLF: Thanks for the song suggestion.

Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
Is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet
Hermione and Draco were still sitting in the boys' bathroom half an hour later, when someone decided to actually use the bathroom for it's intended purpose.
Unfortunately, that person was Ron.
They had stopped kissing by the time Ron had walked in, by now, they were just holding each other, glad to share the company with the other's presence.
They were laughing at Pansy Parkinson when Ron burst through the bathroom door rather so quickly he almost failed to notice Hermione and Draco until he tripped over them.
He turned around to see what had tripped him and he saw Hermione and Draco sitting together in each other's arms.
"Hermione, what the bloody hell are you doing with that snake?" Ron asked rudely.
"Ron!" Hermione scolded. "He is not a snake!"
"Yes he is!" Ron said. "Or was he not the boy who hurt you so much that you could barely sleep?!"
"Ron, he had to do that." Hermione said.
"He had to hurt you?" Ron asked.
"Yes! He was doing it to protect me!" Hermione shouted.
"Protect you from what?" Ron asked.
"From my father." Draco said.
Ron looked at Draco with an incredulous look on his face.
"What's your father got to do with any of this?" Ron asked.
"He wants to kill me." Hermione answered.
"What? Why?" Ron asked.
"So that he can use her death to weaken you and Potter." Draco said.
Ron thought for a moment.
"What are you going to do?" Ron asked.
"I don't know." Hermione answered honestly.
Now dance fucker dance
Man he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
They looked at Draco.
"As much as I don't like this idea, I think that we should and talk to Potter." Draco said, "But I'm only in this for Hermione's sake."
"Right then. I still don't trust you, but as long as you keep Hermione safe…" Ron said.
"Let's go to the common room then." Hermione said.
"I don't think I'm welcome there." Draco said.
"It's okay, most people are probably in the Great Hall." Hermione said.
"Let's go then." Draco said.
"Wait!" Ron said.
"What?" Hermione and Draco asked as they turned around to face Ron, who was holding his bladder with a grim look on his face.
"I've still got to take a piss." Ron blushed.
"Um, we'll be outside." Hermione snickered.
Hermione and Draco walked outside.
No one else was in the corridor, so they could talk privately.
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Hermione looked at Draco.
"Look, if you have to kill me, can you just do it?" Hermione asked.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Because, I don't want to lose you." Hermione said.
"And how do you think I'll be able to live without you?" Draco asked.
"Well, there's lots of other girls out there." Hermione said.
"Like who?" Draco asked.
"Like…Pansy." Hermione smirked.
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
So play it out I'm wide awake
It's a scene about me
There's something in your way
And now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want
Well it's all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance
Man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
Draco looked at her.
"I don't want to be with anyone except for you. You mean everything to me, Hermione and I won't be able to bear losing you." Draco said.
"I can't lose you either." Hermione said.
"We can get through this." Draco said.
"I hope so." Hermione said, letting Draco engulf her in a hug.
"Okay lovebirds, let's get going." Ron said.
Hermione and Draco grinned at each other. At least Ron finally accepted them.
But what would Harry do?
"What is it?" Ron and Draco asked, seeing Hermione's worried look.
"What do you think Harry's reaction will be?" Hermione asked.
"Shocked. And probably angry. And then he'll think up a plan that he thinks Malfoy there is using to get to us." Ron replied.
Hermione laughed, that was so Harry.
And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust, deceived!
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
When they arrived at the Fat Lady's portrait, Ron spoke the password and they went inside the common room to see Harry and Ginny snogging.
"Harry!" Ron shouted.
Harry and Ginny sprung apart.
"Please don't do that in front of me…with my sister." Ron said.
"Sorry." Harry said.
Looking up, Harry finally noticed Hermione and Draco.
Although, Ginny didn't look even slightly surprised to see Draco and Hermione together, Ron noticed. Had she known about this the whole time?
"What is he doing here?" Harry asked angrily.
"Relax, Harry. He's with us." Hermione said.
"What is he doing here?" Harry repeated.
"He's going to help us." Hermione answered.
"With what? We don't need his help!" Harry shouted.
"He's going to save Hermione." Ron answered quietly.
Harry looked at him.
"What?" Harry asked.
"He's going to save Hermione/" Ron said again, louder this time.
"Save her? From what?" Harry asked.
"From…" Ron looked at Hermione. "From his father."
"And the Dark Lord." Malfoy added.
"How? His father is not a threat to me." Harry said rudely. "And what about Voldemort?"
"Harry, Draco was ordered to kill me." Hermione answered.
"What?" Ginny asked.
"Then we just have to kill him!" Harry shouted, walking towards Draco.
"No!" Hermione shouted, standing in front of him.
"What are you doing, Hermione? He's going to kill you!" Harry shouted at her.
"Harry, I love him." Hermione said.
Harry gaped.
"You…you what?" Harry asked.
"I love him." Hermione repeated.
"But…but he's going to kill you!" Harry shouted.
"He could have done it while they were in the bathroom, but he didn't. He could have done it while I wasn't with her. But he didn't He could do it anytime, but he won't. I can't believe I'm doing this Harry, but I think we can trust him." Ron said.
"They were in a bathroom?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." Ron answered.
"Alone?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." Ron said.
"She could be under the Imperius!" Harry shouted.
Hermione, Ron, Draco and Ginny rolled their eyes.
"Look, Potter. If you don't want to help us save Hermione, then we're probably better off." Draco said.
"What? Don't talk to me Ferret boy!" Harry yelled.
"Harry!" Ginny yelled.
"He's probably right." Ron said.
"Let's just go." Hermione said.
"I'll come!" Ginny said.
"All right." Ron said.
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away
Nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Draco were just about to walk out of the portrait hole when Harry started to give in.
"All right! All right! But I'm only doing this to save Hermione!" Harry shouted as he started to follow him.
Hermione walked out of the Gryffindor common room with a smug look on her face.
