What we weren't

"Hermione what the bloody hell?" Draco let it out as loud as he could just to make sure people in the area heard.

She spun around and pushed Ron towards the common room. But Ron used his strength against her and held her still. "Hermione what's going on here?"

"Ronald… I love you, but as a friend." She couldn't bear to look in his eyes. Mostly because she knew they would be filled with hurt and disappointment from the girl he loved.

"Mione, are you telling me you like him?" His voice was rough and filled with disgust. He tilted his head to look at her. "Hermione answer me."

"No, Ron I love him."

"What! Nice try mud blood." Spit Pansy sounding like a chipmunk on helium.

"Pansy please believe her and if you don't believe me. I love Hermione. Ronald I'm sorry."

Pansy's mouth dropped open. Ron nodded at the three of them. "Draco piss off, Pansy burn in hell, and Hermione have a nice life, but don't be too happy."
