Ginny looked wide eyed at them, she opened her mouth to say something but then closed it, she was literally speechless. Hermione looked at her worryingly before placing a hand on her friends' shoulder.
"Please don't be mad at me for this." Hermione begged and Ginny shook her head.
"No, no, I'm not mad, just confused, it's kind of hard to process all of this you know. Also, it's not everyday you see your best friend kissing her worst enemy." Ginny snapped accidentally, Hermione looked upset. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you." There was a long silence afterwards until someone came through the door. It was Ron and Angelina, they were holding hands and smiling. They noticed the three sitting down and they stopped, Ginny smiled at Ron and gave him a thumbs up. He blushed, that quite surprised Hermione considering she never seen him blush before.
"Sorry, we were just heading, err… somewhere." Ron lied and Angelina laughed. Ginny rolled her eyes at him and smirked.
"Go on, and try not to wake Mam and Dad with all your shagging." She joked, Ron and Angelina blushed.
"We're just going to hand out, nothing like that at all." Ron insisted and Ginny nodded sarcastically while still smirking.
"I'm sure, now off you go." She ordered, Draco started doubting she was the youngest Weasley because she kept on ordering people around. Ron and Angelina walked away upstairs and the three turned back to each other.
"So, what are you two going to do about this Lesso Verti thing?" Ginny asked and Hermione chuckled.
"Lessi Verto you mean." Hermione corrected her, Ginny just shrugged. "Well we're supposed to find our true loves, but it's not very easy. As I mentioned before we both sometimes get these feeling where we have to be with each other, but those feeling can be either love or hatred for one another. Tonight we both met someone we liked and we both kissed that person, but we both walked out after because it didn't feel right. Then when we saw each other the whole love thing came back I guess and we just felt as if we HAD to kiss. Though I was the one to ask, but that goes into even more detail, but I suppose you want an explanation for that to don't you?" Hermione said and Ginny nodded, Hermione looked at Draco.
"You see, sometimes when this happens to people, very rarely does this happen actually, one can feel stronger feelings for the other. They could be love or hate and because of that they put more feeling into the mood they're in. Which is why when we saw each other, well we think it's Hermione that hates me more than I hate her, but when we saw each other we both just loved each other again. Though I'll be honest, I would prefer loving each other over when we hate each other any day, I don't like either but if I had to choose I'd prefer that." Draco explained and Hermione nodded at the end. Ginny raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What are you two like when you hate each other?" She asked, Hermione and Draco looked at each other and Hermione gulped before looking back at Ginny.
"Let's hope we won't find out tonight, but it usually starts after the love affect, I'm surprised it hasn't come yet. The same with the love affect, it usually happens after the hate." Hermione said and Ginny nodded.
"And can you two hate and love each other at the same time?" She asked them.
"Well I'm guessing if that happened there would be chaos and the whole finding our true love thing would then become extremely impossible." Draco said, only half joking.
"What do you mean by that?" Ginny asked and Hermione chuckled nervously.
"Erm, once when we were in the common room the whole love affect came and we started, well err, kissing, and then the hate affect came. Draco took my wand, but I decided to go along with the whole love thing to get my wand back. So started kissing again when I was trying to get my wand back, but for some reason, Evil Hermione, likes Evil Draco while she still hates him. If that makes any sense, but yeah so it was quite enjoyable for me when we hated each other and were kissing. I'm guessing that's what would happen if we loved and hated each other at the same time." Hermione told her and Ginny chuckled awkwardly through some of the story. There was a knock behind them on the door. They looked over to see Harry at the door, Ginny's eye filled with tears as he stepped into the room.
"Ginny, are you okay? I've been looking everywhere for you." Harry asked and Ginny stood up out of her seat and stormed over to him and slapped him across the face.
"How's Parkinson, Harry because she looked pretty fucking happy when you were kissing her." Ginny asked sarcastically, the tears in her eyes threatening to spill. Harry held his cheek where she slapped him and looked at her understanding what she meant.
"Ginny, I can explain." He started and she scoffed and crossed her arms.
"I can't wait for this." She mumbled sarcastically. Hermione looked at Draco, he looked confused.
"I think we should leave." Hermione whispered to him, he nodded but then shook his head before standing up.
"Hold on, what the fuck did Pansy do?" He asked while walking over to Harry and Ginny.
"I don't think it's any of your business, Malfoy." Harry said while glaring at him.
"Yes, because she's going out with my best friend. So yes it is my fucking business, now tell me what she done." Draco ordered, Hermione grabbed his arm.
"Calm down, Draco." She said and he took a deep breath before taking a step away from Harry.
"Okay, so what happened was I was annoyed at Ginny for inviting you, Parkinson and Zabini. So I went to go for a walk out in the field to clear my head for a while then Parkinson came out. She started being really nice to me then I told her to go away, she didn't do that, instead she kissed me. I pushed her away and then she just started laughing then walked away." Harry explained and Ginny looked at him while Draco started to clench his fists.
"I'm going to kill that bitch." Draco mumbled before walking out the door, Hermione ran after him.
"Draco, wait!" She shouted after him he stopped and turned around to see her running over to him, she stopped in front of him.
"Please don't do anything you'll regret." She warned him and he scoffed taking out his wand and pointing it at her.
"Don't tell me what to do." He said and she realized she wouldn't be able to get her wand because it was in her bag, which she left in the house. She put her hands up slightly and took a step towards him.
"Draco, calm down, I don't know if this is anything to do with the moods but I know that hurting anybody is not going to go down well." She advised, he just scoffed again. She knew it couldn't be the hate affect, because she didn't feel it, if it was the hate affect she would have been affected herself.
"I'm not under any affect at the moment, Granger. I don't think you've noticed that when I get mad, I get VERY mad." Draco said slightly lowering his wand. "And I DON'T like being questioned about it."
"Look I'm sure there's no need to hurt Parkinson, well there is, but I don't think you should." Hermione said and he sighed frustratingly.
"But she cheated on my best friend, how did you feel when you heard Weasley giving out to Potter." He said and Hermione's head went down.
"I understand what you mean now, I didn't feel very happy about it and right now I hate Parkinson even more than I did before, but I don't think hitting her or throwing spells at her is going to do any good." She answered, just then Ginny came storming out of the house. Hermione and Draco watched as she walked back to the party, they followed her. She walked through the crowd of people who were dancing until she came to the person she was looking for. Pansy and Blaise were dancing together and smiling, Ginny narrowed her eyes at her. She pushed her away from Blaise who stepped back in confusion.
"Ah! What's the hell is your problem Weasley!" Pansy screeched, everyone around them was looking now, including Harry, Hermione and Draco. Ginny grabbed Pansy by the hair and pulled her forward then moved out of the way before letting go and letting Pansy fall on the floor. Ginny grabbed her hair once more and pulled her back up to her feet and slapped her across the face. Pansy held her cheek in pain and looked up at Ginny like she was crazy, Ginny just smirked.
"Never go near my boyfriend again do you hear me?" Ginny said and Pansy nodded. Ginny then looked up at Blaise who looked confused and slightly hurt by what Ginny said. "I'm sorry, Zabini, but your precious girlfriend here cheated on you, she kissed Harry." Blaise looked at Pansy who looked back at him and then shrugged, she really didn't care about him. Ginny then walked away back to Harry and everyone started dancing again like nothing happened. A friend of Blaise' walked up to him, she placed a hand on his shoulder for comfort.
"Don't worry Blaise, a whore like that, I'm positive you will get over." She said and smiled at him, he smiled back, she held out her hand. "Want to dance, it's kind of boring without someone to bring with you." She asked and he chuckled and took her hand and they danced together. Pansy then looked over at Draco while taking he hand away from her cheek. She smiled at him, he only glared, Hermione still stood beside him.
"Draco, I was wondering, since now I'm single, if we should be more than friends. I've been wanting to ask you for a while but you know, I was with Blaise, but now, I'm single." Pansy asked while stepping closer to Draco. Hermione narrowed her eyes at her, Pansy didn't notice that is until she took another step closer to him and Hermione stepped on her foot. Pansy squeaked and looked at Hermione and glared.
"What do you think you're doing, filthy Mudblood." She asked while stepping back away from her.
"Back off Pansy." Was all Hermione said, Pansy gasped and looked at Draco who stood there in confusion.
"Are you WITH this Mudblood!" Pansy asked in shock and Hermione laughed.
"No, he's not." Hermione answered for him, then she stopped laughing and froze. "I err, I have to go." She said before rushing off to the house. She looked on the sofa and found her bag. She opened it and took out her wand then closed it before putting it around her again. She then disapparated away back to the common room without even saying goodbye to anybody. She walked into her room and closed the door behind her, she slid down the door to the ground and started to cry.
