A/N Well I'm currently writing this on the train (not the Hogwarts Express unfortunately) but there is the most ARROGANT mother and daughter couple watching me accusingly :L anyway on with the story!

Hermione's POV

I slumped down on my bed and my heart ached. I just wanted to cry. I heard a few words passed below but nothing more after that. I sighed and buried my head in my pillow when I heard a light rap on my bedroom door. "Hermione?" I heard Ginny asked, I didn't say anything and just waved her in. It was still and silent for a few more minutes when I felt the bed sink underneath me. I sat up and rolled over to look at Ginny. "I have no luck with boys." I mumbled, rubbing my eye vigorously.

"That's not true Mione." Ginny said shuffling closer to me. I smiled weakly as she used my nickname before I looked up at her. "What should I do?" I mumbled.

"Play hard to get." Ginny said with a smug smile. "You still love him and want him back and you know he wasn't in the correct frame of mind when you two broke up." She formed quotation's in the air with her fingers on the words 'broke up' and I nodded once. "He thinks you don't know that." Ginny shrugged. "So make him work really hard to win you back. I just heard him and Pansy talking now when I was stood by the common room door. He was literally begging Pansy to help him get you back." Ginny said with a smile and I chuckled lightly.

"He has to try really hard then." I said quietly and Ginny giggled.

"Very, now come on Mione, cheer up and lets go down to dinner." She stood up and grabbed my wrist before pulling me up. "One quick thing though." She waved her wand and I felt my face dry. "Much better." Ginny said and she linked arms with me. Feeling a little better about everything I allowed Ginny to lead me out of the dorm and down to the common room. Ron and Harry glanced up at me and I noticed Ron shift awkwardly as he saw me and I frowned, suspicious of his motions. Harry wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly as Ginny and I approached. "You okay now Mione?" He asked softly. I felt him kiss my hair and I nodded.

"A little." I replied before glancing up at him with a weak smile. He stroked my hair before letting go.

"Let's go." Ron said and I rolled my eyes.

"Some things are more important than food Ronald." Ginny scolded and he gave her that goofy smile that I always thought to be cute. Harry laughed and he took his girlfriends hand as she linked arms with me again.

When we entered the Great Hall the whole room went deathly quiet and I looked at Harry, Ron and Ginny, beginning to panic a little. I saw Pansy hurry over to me and she grabbed mine and Ginny's wrist. "Sorry boys I need these two." Pansy said dragging us out of the hall.

"What's the matter Panse?" Ginny asked and I nodded curiously.

"I'm sorry Hermione, Draco is planning something and told me to keep you away whilst he finishes off." I exchanged a confused glance with Ginny who shrugged. "It is really good and may get him in a bit of troble but I advise you to tell him you love he did and respect it and still love him but he needs to try harder, what he did broke your heart, okay Hermione?" Pansy said and I nodded with a confused frown on my lips. Ginny looked at Pansy quizzically before the three of us walked back into the Great Hall. We went to our separate tables and Ginny and I dropped down with Harry, Ron and Neville. "What was all that about?" Harry asked us curiously.

"No idea." Ginny and I said together.

"Hermione!" I heard a voice call and I froze.

"What Malfoy?" I asked trying to keep my voice steady.

"Can we talk, please?"

"No."

"Fine, can I talk and you listen?"

"No."

"Tough." I turned to glare up at him and he stalked over to the Slytherin table and climbed onto the bench. I followed him curiously and I saw Blaise was looking over at us questioningly. "Fellow Hogwarts students!" Draco bellowed and I looked at Ginny in shock. "Some of you may know me as the youngest Deatheater, a traitor, a bully, someone who is all for blood superiority. Yes, I was them, but I've changed now and all because of the girl I love." He pointed over at me and I prayed for the ground to swallow me up. "I love Hermione Granger, I have done for years! Now the one time I got her, I lost her because of a jealous friend. Hermione, I want you to know that I never loved Daphne, ever, she slipped me a potion! A love potion, she slipped me it so I would fall in love with her and she succeeded! But I found out the truth, she made it but had help from someone else to make it and slip me it." I looked at Ginny my eyes wide.

"Who would help her?" I whispered to Ginny who shrugged. The rest of the Great Hall were whispering together.

"You want to know who helped her Hermione?" I glanced over at Draco who had his perfect grey eyes set on me and I nodded once slightly and hoped he'd saw my nod so I didn't have to speak. "Your weasel friend! The cheater." Draco replied and I saw he was still watching me with sympathetic eyes. "For those of you who still don't know, the person who helped Daphne make the potion was Ron Weasley!"

A/N Another (sort of) short chapter I know I'm sorry but I will try and make them a little longer in time. I'm sorry if there are any spelling or grammar error's I don't have word on my laptop so I don't have spell check etc.
