Chapter 14: Malfoy's Grudge

"I can't believe that Diggory caught the snitch," Hermione said.

"Hay, I hoped out too," Harry told her.

"I know but you have to admit that he did most of the work," Hermione said and Harry groaned.

The next Hogsmead visit was coming and Harry had to admit that he was very excited. True most believed that Diggory had helped to win the match but in the end people still looked up to him for other reasons. Ron was with him when he told Harry that if it hadn't been for Harry, along with everyone else, then Diggory wouldn't of won the match.

"I don't see what's so great about Cedric," Ron said, as they all got ready for Hogsmead.

"Well he's a pretty boy," Harry told him.

"Which is important only to girls," Ron said.

"I don't understand why you seem to want to contact Snape and his stinking wife," Malfoy said to Dumbledore.

"Because it's important that they know that two more have been destroyed," Dumbledore said, "That's the reason why they sent those things to Harry."

"Oh wonderful," Malfoy said, "All the Snape's going to do is gloat and you know it."

Dumbledore gave him a look and he looked away. "I'm doing what is right."

"Well don't include me," Malfoy told him and stormed off.

"I can't believe that he's acting like this," McGonagall said.

"He hates the idea that Severus chose Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus over him and the other Slytherins."

McGonagall shook her head.

"I keep on telling him that it's the choices that we make but it doesn't seem to sink in."

"It will never sink in with him," McGonagall pointed out.

Dumbledore sighed. "I'm afraid that you might be right."

"I know I am."

He took a box out and opening it, he took out the stone. Instantly Severus and Lily Snape appeared.

"The cup has been destroyed but Remus bit Harry and turned him into a living vampire," Dumbledore reported.

Lily gasped and Severus shook his head.

"Is he alright?" Lily asked.

"Yes but I'm afraid that he might be afraid to tell anyone of what happened," Dumbledore told her.

"Because of people like Umbridge," Severus said and Dumbledore nodded.

"What are you going to do when Harry has to return home?"

"Well there isn't much that I can do," Dumbledore told her, "But I will provide him with more protection then he's getting."

Severus crossed his arms. "I don't like the idea that my son is living with the Dursley's," Severus told him.

"I know but Lily's sister provides blood protection."

"Even at the cost of his safety from within," Severus asked him.

"I'm afraid so," Dumbledore answered.

"So where are we going first?" Ron asked when he, Harry, and Hermione had arrived in Hogsmead.

"I'm going into the sweetshop," Hermione told them.

"I'm going in as well," Harry said, "I'm thinking about sending my Aunt something."

Ron groaned and Hermione asked, "What's wrong now?"

"He's using his money to get his Aunt things, which by the way the woman didn't care anything for him."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "If Harry wants to get her something then he can," Hermione told him. "It's his money after all."

"I know that but I still don't have to like it."

"I know but you have to accept it," Hermione said and then joined Harry in Honeydukes while Ron went off to the joke shop.

"I'm sorry that you had to hear that," Hermione said to Harry when they were alone with the sweets.

"It's alright," Harry said, "I don't think that he fully understands what this means. I mean, my Aunt has magic and she's off learning how to use her powers. I had to help her with that and I feel that as long as she can still go there then there might be a chance that she'll be nice to me when I come back for the Summer Break."

Hermione looked at him. "I know how important that is."

"Thanks," Harry said and then he cleared his throat. "Hermione, I have something that I want to tell you."

Hermione looked at him. "What are you talking about?"

"Well I want to admit something that I've been holding back since the moment that I met you."

"What is it?"

She could tell that Harry looked uncomfortable. "Hermione, I have feelings for you."

Hermione stared at him, not sure if she heard him right.

"You what."

"I have feelings for you," Harry repeated, "I mean, real feelings and I was afraid that if I didn't tell you then I would lose you to someone that was much quicker."

Hermione bit her lip. "Harry, you know that I feel something for Professor Lupin."

"I know but I just wanted you to know how I feel for you and if it doesn't work out with Lupin then you know that you can come to me and I'll be here for you."

Hermione smiled at him. "Thanks for telling me."

Harry smiled in return and then they went back to the sweets.

Both Harry and Hermione didn't return until much later and ran right into Professor Malfoy. He glared at them and Harry had a funny feeling that he was going to see the nasty end of the Potions Master.

"Get going Miss Granger, I'll tell Professor Sprout what you've done, your coming with me Snape."

Hermione gave Harry a sympathetic look and Harry followed the Professor.

He took Harry to his office where he forced him to sit down and then he leaned over him.

"You think that rules don't apply to you, don't you?" Malfoy said.

"I have no idea what your talking about?" Harry said.

"Don't give me that, Snape," Malfoy snarled, "Your father thought he was so much better then the rest of this fellow Slytherins just because he hung out with Potter, Black, Lupin, and Pettegrew."

Harry couldn't believe he was bring up his father.

"Sir, I don't think of myself as better then anyone else," Harry told him.

"Like hell you don't," Malfoy countered. "Detention and a hundred and sixty points from Hufflepuff."

Harry stared at him and then he got mad. "Don't think that you know me," Harry said, "You go on and on about how much I'm like my father. Well let me tell you something, sir, I don't like being called a liar and I don't like it that your treating Hermione like she's done something wrong. And you can tell me that you weren't but I know you were. You have hated me from the moment I arrived and I've done nothing wrong."

Malfoy moved his face so that they were inches apart. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TELL ME THAT. YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING WRONG SINCE THE MOMENT YOU'VE ARRIVED. OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT WHAT YOU DID TWO YEARS AGO."

"I was saving the school!" Harry told him.

"You were acting like your blasted father," Malfoy spat, "Because that's the same exact thing that your father would of done. Now get out of my sight before I have you suspended for wasting my time."

He pointed to the door and Harry decided to leave.

When he got back he told Hermione and Ron what had happened. Both of them couldn't believe that this had happened.

"But you didn't do anything wrong?" Ron told Harry.

"I know but he likes to think that I did," Harry said, "And I'm afraid that he might try something else to get me suspended or expelled."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Well I'm sure that Dumbledore would sack him if he tried anything," Hermione said.

"Oh really, Hermione, like he would do something like that just because Malfoy is being bad to Harry for something that's only in his mind. Personally I think that he doesn't get any so he takes it out on people."

"Ron, that's is gross," Hermione commented.

Ron rolled his eyes. "Hermione, I was just saying."

"Don't," Hermione snapped, "You know there is more to life then sex and how much you can have in one week."

And she stormed off.

"What did I say?" Ron asked.

Harry didn't have the heart to tell him the truth.

The next day Hermione was not talking to Ron and even though Ron tried to ask her why she wasn't talking to him Harry had a very good idea why. This caused him to complain about women.

"They don't make any sense," Ron told him.

"Ron, leave it," Harry said.

He had just admitted that he cared for Hermione and he wasn't about to ruin any future chances that he might have by opening his fat mouth.

"Why?" Ron asked.

"Because you don't want to hurt her feelings," Harry told him.

"Harry, I was just pointing something out," Ron told him.

"And Hermione didn't like what you were pointing out," Harry said, "Look, it's clear that he hates my father and the reason I think that not a lot of people are willing to tell me. But I don't think it's fair to say that the reason that Malfoy doesn't like me is because of something that's personal."

"Okay, so why won't anyone tell you the truth about this grudge?" Ron asked him.

"I don't know," Harry said, "But I'm determined to find out."

"How?" Ron asked.

"I don't know but I will."

"I can't believe that you gave Mr. Snape detention," Sprout said.

She had seen the sudden reduction of points and saw that Malfoy's name was next to the spot that listed who had taken the points off and who he had taken the points off from.

"What I do with Mr. Snape is my business," Malfoy told her.

Sprout crossed her arms. "Like hell it is."

"Are you telling me how to do my job?" Malfoy asked her.

"Yes, I am," Sprout said, "You've hated Mr. Snape the moment he arrived. He's done nothing wrong to you but you make it a point to site him for something that that he did that happens to be only in your mind."

"I'VE GOT NOTHING GOING ON IN MY MIND!" Malfoy roared.

"Whatever you say," Sprout said and then stormed off.
