Disclaimer: Ok, I'll make this sweet and simple and to the point. I do not own any of these familiar characters that we all love (if you don't love 'em or at least love to hate 'em, what are you doing reading this??) although I'd love to own at least one of these characters.**suggestive grin** Once again; I do not own any of these characters, they belong to JKR. Please don't sue me.

Hermione's eyes popped wide open when Harry all but flew over her and into the other room. She turned quickly hoping to defuse any situation. Harry was yelling loudly over Rissa's squeals. Draco was just smirking, looking up at Harry, who didn't look as if he was going to stop shouting anytime soon.
"---You stupid git, your just like your father---" Harry yelled, bitterly please when Draco's face closed in. He continued to yell and shout insults and accusations, noticing but not acknowledging the dangerous glint that hardened Draco's eyes. Draco made no move toward him; in fact, he crossed his arm across his chest and leaned against the wall.
With a bang, the door flew open (again) and Ron burst threw. Stopping to take in the scene, he let out a curse, his facing darkening at the sight of a pale Hermione, a squealing---er, um a squealing girl with big boobs (Ron couldn't quiet remember her name, truth be told), and a hysterical Harry facing off Malfoy. Moving to stand next to Harry, he took out his wand. And fell to the floor with a well-placed Stupfy charm from Hermione. This caused Rissa to shout once more and make a mad dash to the door. Hermione sighed once and hit her the curse as well. This just left Harry and Draco. Sighing once more, she cast the full-body-bind curse on the both of them, rolling her eyes as they hit the floor. She muttered under her breath as she rolled Draco onto his back, and she cursed them both to the devil and back while she dragged Harry so that the two of them would be propped against the wall, side by side. The task accomplished, she let out a huff of breath and glared at them both.
"Okay, now both of you are going to sit there and listen to me. No interruptions. Understood?" Satisfied with the hint of fear in the eyes of one Draco Malfoy and one Harry Potter, she continued. "First of all, Harry, you are going to have to accept that Draco Malfoy is my half brother. I met my mother, my biological mother, today," Her tawny eyes still carried the glow of magic that moment had allowed her. "That meant a lot to me, Harry, more then you can know. No one can know. No one. Nar-my mother gave me up, gave me to the Grangers, who where and will always be my parents, just as Narcissa Malfoy will always be my mother, one of two. I don't know who my father is: neither does Draco. Narcis-my mother does know, but is keeping that knowledge to herself, as kind of a-" she paused, thinking of the right word. "Protection." She decided finally. "As kind of a protection. I don't blame her for that, or for giving me up." Ah, now there, was something that required farther thinking on her part---but she didn't have to admit it. Not to them, not when they are acting like such children. Shaking her head, to glanced at Draco. "You, Draco Malfoy, are just going to have to deal with the fact that Harry Potter is my boyfriend, my best friend, along with Ron Weasley." Something else to think about. "Get that through your head, and respect me by respecting them. Understand?"
Of course he didn't speak or nod his head. Rolling her eyes she lifted the curse off him. His body shuddered once, and then her stood up. Glaring down at Harry, who couldn't respond, and pouting at Hermione, he nodded once. "Good." She said briskly. "Now go." When he just stared at her, she rolled her eyes. "I need to talk to Harry." Her face softened and she gave him a tight hug. "Thank you." She whispered before repeating, "Go."
When the door shut firmly behind him, she released the spell over Harry. Like Draco's his body shuddered once, before he could stand. Once he did, she gave him a small timid smile. He stared at her for a long while, before closing his eyes on a sigh. "I'm happy for you, Hermione." He muttered, opening his eyes. She stared into the bright green of his eyes, hidden behind his frames. Then she relaxed into his arms, with a happy smile. "Thank you, Harry. That means a lot to me." Now she pulled back, looked him in the eyes again. Her face was serious, sad even. "This isn't all of it, Harry. It's only the beginning." She offered him a small smile. "But at least it's a start."
He nodded, placing a kiss on the forehead before pulling her into his arms once more. Neither one spoke, they just stood there, safe for the moment, from the past, the future, the forgotten, the whispers, the unknown, the unsettling dreams, the hint of death, and the slash of reality. Safe from the happenings around them. Safe within their own secret world, the world they found in each other. Safe.
