Fanfiction100 – Sneaky Griffins
Chapter 26 Teammates
Draco took the towel out of his head and left the changing rooms.
He grabbed the snitch he won on that game and played with it as he walked away.
He ha not given two steps when Ron bumped into him, also leaving the same room, buttoning his shirt.
"Malfoy! How do I look?"
"Like trash."
"Ahah. Come on, I have to go."
"Fine. You look like you just shagged some Veela in the shower, happy?"
"Shit, I do? Hermione can't know that! Don't you dare to tell her!"
"She wouldn't believe in me anyways, would she?"
Ron laughed "I know, right? For the smartest witch of her age, she sure can be a dumbass sometimes.(1)"
"Don't – don't talk about her like that!" Draco closed his fist, one squeezing the snitch.
"Oh, I forgot, you're her friend, right?"
"Ron!" they heard before Draco could answer.
"Hermione!" Ron ran to her, hugged her and kissed her.
Draco watched them from afar, released the snitch and caught it again.
He hated to see them.
He hated that Ron had to be in the same Quidditch team as he, why couldn't the idiot chose those Canons he loves so much?
He hated that because of that reason he had to spend more time with Hermione.
He hated that they became friends.
He hated that he cared for her.
He hated that he had fallen for her.
He hated that she wouldn0t believe in him when he told her what was going on with Ron.
He hated Ron Weasley.
Draco sighed frustrated.
He also hated Harry. He believed in him but hadn't the guts to tell Hermione or confront his friend.
Draco rubbed his head with his free hand and recalled that day.
Draco looked up and saw Hermione walking in the café and sitting next to him.
"Draco, Draco, I just read this amazing book! Here." She took it out of her bag and handed it to him "It's a muggle book, but with magic tendencies. It has an animagus in it. And there's this guy who really reminds me of you."
Draco read the title, 'Blade of Fortriu(2)' . He slowly put it in his bag.
He looked at her again. He had been tormented with what he found out a few days ago. He had spoken to Ron and Harry, but neither had wanted to do the right thing. Who would have known that he, a Slytherin, would do it instead of two Gryffindors?
He didn't want to be the one would do that, he didn't want to see her face when she realised...but he had to. He couldn't let her in the dark, not about this.
"Hermione..." his voice sounded nervous, even for himself "There's something you need to know."
"What's the matter? Are you alright?"
"Ron's cheating on you."
"Wha-what? What are you saying?"
"I found him with Wendy on the other day."
"Wendy? That beater from your team?"
"Yes."
Hermione stared shocked at him.
"I'm sorry. I know this is hard to-"
"You're lying."
"What? No, Hermione-"
"You are! Ron would never cheat on me! He loves me! You want us to break up! How dare you, Draco?" she got up.
"I'm not lying! Ask Harry, he'll-"
"I thought you changed, Draco, I thought you were my friend."
"But I am, Hermione! I am!" he also stood out from the chair.
"How could you? Were you planning this all along, all this time, to revenge on Harry and Ron? Thought it was funny to mess with us? I trusted you, Malfoy!"
"No, Hermione, Hermione!" he yelled as she ran away.
Moments after he sat again. Now what?
He continued to try, of course. But she kept avoiding him since then.
"You smell different, Ron." Hermione grabbed his hand.
"It's the new shampoo we have on the showers." Ron started to walk away with her.
"Really? It smells...good, I guess." She laughed "Reminds me of Fleur, for some reason."
"Ron put an arm around her shoulders.
Draco let go the snitch again and watched it as it got higher and higher in the sky.

(1) – sorry, couldn't help it xD
(2) – The book exists. The character Hermione mentions is Faolan, he's he...how can I explain it, 'advisor' of the king of Fortriu, but he's usually seen as a cold person, a hired killer and a betrayer to his kind (his uncle is the king of the kingdom Fortriu is fighting). He's a spy for Fortriu. The king orders him to take Ana, a captive princess (but she's like family to all) to marry a tribe leader. Ana and Faolan hate each other. On the trip he falls in love with her and she sees he's not the bastard everyone thinks he is and they become friends. She falls in love with her fiancé's brother (the animagus) and Faolan helps them to run from the tribe leader and get married. Oh, and when he was little, the king of his homeland forced him to kill his older brother in order to save the rest of his family. Yeah, that's why he's so quiet and betrayed his uncle.
...Don't kill me for this one-shot x.x
They can't be all happy, right?
