Please have a look at my new fanfic called 'Seventh Year'. it's about James and Lily and i'll put up the next chapter for it once i get some reviews.


HPOV

'Are you bloody mad Hermione?'

'I'm not listening to you Ronald.'

'And what the hell was up with your little stunt at breakfast?'

'Not listening.'

'Please don't be so immature Mione. I could really use your support here.'

'You could use my support? Where the fuck were you when I needed you to listen to what I'd found out about my family and to help me?

'That's different.' I was sat under the big oak tree next to the lake. It was unusually sunny so I'd taken the opportunity to ask Draco if we could meet outside at lunch to get some air. Unusually classes had resumed as normal after the events of last night.

'It's no different Ronald. You need support? Look elsewhere.'

'Mia! I couldn't see you but then I saw the back of Weasley's head and figured you might be here, or at least he'd know.' I closed my book and stood up. Completely ignoring Ron I melted into Draco's arms and we became immersed in our own world.

'I only came to tell you that Ginny was looking for you.' With that Ron turned and left towards the castle.

RPOV

'Stupid bloody git.' I muttered as I entered the entrance hall. Ever since Malfoy knew that I knew about him and Hermione he'd done nothing but rub it in my face. I was going to show him up for exactly what he was; an evil self centred bastard. The only question was exactly how I was going to do it. Maybe Harry would help me; he wanted Hermione with us as much as I did. Ginny would be next to no help at all I don't think Mione was even planning to speak to Ginny even though she sat with her at breakfast.

'Ron? Are you even listening mate?' I hadn't realised Harry had appeared next to me at some point.

'Sorry. Tried to speak to Hermione and all she did was shout and scream at me and then reject me once Malfoy appeared.'

'She'll come around, you know she will. It just might take some more time than usual. Remember last year when you were with Lavender and she didn't speak to you properly until after you and Lavender had finished? It was because she loved you. She was feeling exactly how you are now.' He said to me.

'Funny way of showing it.' I mumbled as we headed towards Gryffindor tower.

'Hmm.' was all Harry had in reply.

'I need to show her what a git Malfoy really is.'

'What did you have in mind?' Harry asked with a grin. I knew he'd be game if it involved showing Malfoy up.

'Well......'

HPOV

'Are people still looking Draco?'

'Yup.'

'Isn't it annoying you yet?'

'Not really.'

'Did you see Blaise this morning?'

'I sat with him at breakfast and saw him in charms but that's it. Why?'

'I still need to speak to him. More to find out about home and stuff.'

'We can go find him now if you want.'

'But then I don't get to spend time with you.' I complained.

'We can spend all evening together in the common room if you want.'

'Promise?'

'Promise.' He flashed his gorgeous smile at me knowing full well that it made my heart melt. I stood up, with Draco's help, and we walked back towards the castle in search of Blaise. Draco thought he'd probably be in the library because he had some work to finish for tomorrow and he wasn't going to have much time that night.

'I'll leave you to speak to him alone, I'm sure I'd just be in the way anyway.' He kissed my cheek and turned to walk in the opposite direction of the library. I pushed the familiar door open and looked at the few tables that were in front of the first shelves, no sign of Blaise. I searched the vast library for the next five minutes hoping he would be there before finally spotting him at a table close to where the Restricted section started.

'Blaise!'

'Hermione! Were you looking for me?'

'Yeah I wanted to speak to you properly seeing as we'd not really had a chance before.'

'Sure,' he smiled at me, 'have a seat I was just looking over my Charms homework anyway.' I sat in the chair directly opposite him so that I was able to look at him whilst we spoke.

'What do you want to know?'

'Everything.' Realising I wasn't being very specific I tried again, 'I want to know what the house is like, what our parents are like, how long you've known I was your sister for and I want to know about our family.' Suddenly Blaise's small smile turned into a huge grin.

'I thought you'd never ask!' He launched into the story of finding out I was his sister and how he vowed to our parents that he'd look after me as best he could. I had to admit that I was lucky, he was really dedicated to making me feel welcome to our family and I couldn't help but feel relieved when he told me that everyone in the family had been waiting for me to come home.

An hour later we left the library, both of us glad that we had a free period before Transfiguration.

'So you and Draco are together now?' Blaise asked as we walked down the corridor.

'Yeah, I was actually surprised he didn't tell you sooner.'

'I think he wanted to wait until you were ready to tell people, he didn't want anything to jeopardise your relationship.'

'That sounds about right. Can I catch up with you later? I need to go find Ginny.'

'Course, I've always got time for my sister.' He beamed at me.

'Thank you B! Love you!' I kissed his cheek and ran off towards Gryffindor tower. Just as I reached the sixth floor I heard voices.

'What the hell?' the first voice said. I recognised it as Draco.

'I saw them sticking out of your pocket.' The second voice retaliated, it was Ron.

'I've never seen them before in my life!'

'Tell that to Hermione.'

'Tell me what?' I couldn't stop myself and before I knew it I was marching towards them.

'I was walking out of Potions behind him and I saw this pink fabric sticking out of his pocket. Knowing it obviously didn't belong to him I Accioed it and it turns out that your precious Draco's got some explaining to do.' Ron held up the thin piece of pink lace that was obviously supposed to be classed as underwear. I scrutinised it before deciding it wasn't mine. It wasn't mine. Draco had some stupid slags underwear in his pocket. What the hell was going on?

'It's not mine.' I said quietly. 'It's....not....mine.' My chest started to hurt with every breath that I took and I slid to the floor, clutching my knees as if to hold myself together.

'Who's are they?'

'I don't know, I've never even seen them before!'

'Who's are they!?' I screamed at him between sobs.

'I don't know!' Draco yelled back at me.

'You're fucking so many girls behind my back you don't know!?' I cried.

'That's not what I meant!'

'Well what the hell did you mean?'

'I meant I don't know because I've never seen them before!'

'How am I supposed to believe that? You've always been a player Draco and this could easily just be you getting caught.'

'You know I've changed Mia.'

'There's evidence against you!' I shrieked angrily at him.

'Mione lets go, you're really upset, you have to calm down.' Ron said.

'Th-thanks Ron.' I said as he helped me to stand up.

'Mia please!' He reached out to grab my hand.

'You stay away from me Draco!' His face fell instantly. He looked as if I'd hit him across the face. I couldn't bear to look at him a moment longer. Ron led me back to the main staircases and several passers by watched as I was half dragged towards Gryffindor tower with my mascara and foundation running down my cheeks.

'How could he!' I shrieked as I sat in front of the fire. 'He told me he loved me Ron and I believed him.'

'Shhhh its ok Mione. I told you he'd hurt you.'

'Don't give me "I told you so" Ronald. I'm seriously not in the mood.' I said angrily.

'I wasn't trying to say that.'

'Why'd you have to take them Ron? Why couldn't you leave them and let him get rid of them or whatever the hell he was going to do?'

'You'd have wanted him not to tell you he had some stupid tarts knickers in his pocket?'

'If it meant I didn't know then maybe yes.' I said raising my voice slightly. The common room was beginning to fill up with students; I hadn't even noticed that afternoon classes had stopped.

'That's stupid Mione. Why would you prefer being lied to?'

'I didn't say I preferred it Ronald!'

'You didn't have to! You still said you didn't want me to find it and that you didn't want to know about it!'

'But I know he can't have meant it.'

'How can you be so sure? You said yourself that he's a player.'

'I love him Ron!'

'You don't.' Why was I hurting everyone today? Ron looked like someone had died, like he would burst into tears the moment he was left alone. Guilt washed over me instantly.

'I think you should go Hermione.' It was Harry that spoke. I hadn't realised just how many people had witnessed our argument. The common room was lined with first years that'd been taken up to drop off their books and a few seventh years and other people from other years.

'Harry leave it.' Ginny said.

'I stood by Hermione before when Ron overreacted but this time I'm standing by him Gin.' I heard Harry saying. I barely noticed. My eyes were still on Ron who'd taken a seat on the sofa, holding his head in his hands.

'I need to go.' I whispered to myself.

'Where you going to go Mione? Malfoy's gonna be in your quarters and we're here.'

'I'll go see Blaise. He might actually not take a side in this stupid thing.'

'Blaise Zabini?' someone whispered from the side, Neville Longbottom.

'You mean people know about you and Malfoy but you haven't told anyone apart from us about you and Zabini?' Ron retorted in reply to Neville's comment.

'Don't say Zabini like it's something to spit on.'

'I'll say it however I bloody well want! They're a bunch of Death Eater lovers! I'd be surprised if Mr Zabini wasn't one of You-know-who's henchmen!'

'Don't you DARE insult my family again!' I smacked my hand across his face and instantly understood why it's important to hit properly. My hand stung like I'd been sat on it for a good few hours. I heard all the whispers as I ran from the common room and for once I didn't care. Being Head Girl had many advantages. One of which was knowing the location and passwords to all the common rooms of the four houses. I ran straight to the dungeons without thinking twice about what any of the bloody Slytherins would say.

'Salazar.' The door opened to reveal the common room situated underneath the lake. The eerie green glow was strangely calming as I looked for Blaise.

'Blaise!' I called into the dimly lit room.

'Hermione?'

'I need to speak to you.'

'What's wrong?' He'd obviously heard the hysterical edge to my voice and seen the streaks of tears running down my face. I launched into the story of what happened and watched as the anger filled into his face.


Thanks again to all who reviewed. This chapters taken me a while to write and i'm sorry it wasn't put up sooner but surprisingly being back at school's given me less time for fanfiction. i'll trya nd get as much done as i can but it won't be so regular updates.
