Forgive and Forget

Summary: Draco and Hermione bump into each other, but soon those meetings aren't so coincidental anymore. But don't they have better things to do than talk to each other?

The Eighteenth of December - Hermione

Hermione and Draco both blushed as they entered the Great Hall holding hands. Everyone's eyes were on them, and almost everyone was clapping and/or wolf-whistling.

"ABOUT TIME!", one Ravenclaw girl yelled and Ginny laughed.

"THEY'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR TWO DAYS, SU!", she yelled at Su Li.

Draco and Hermione were about to go to their respective house tables, but their hands stopped them. They looked at each other in silent communication.

"You, Draco Malfoy, will come to the Gryffindor table with us", Harry said and they jumped. They hadn't noticed him coming in.

"No way, Potter! They'll roast me alive! Hermione will come to the Slytherins with me."

Harry and now Hermione shook their heads. "You haven't gotten Ginny to approve of you yet, Draco."

Draco paled as Hermione and Harry laughed. "B-but then she could join us at the Slytherin table?"

Hermione's eyes went wide in realisation. "Draco? Are you scared of the lions?"

Draco blushed. "Of course not!"

Hermione laughed, but inside, she was thinking. Should she sit with the Slytherins? She saw the Gryffindors everyday, and she supposed Ginny could join them at the snake's table.

"HEY, GINNY!", she yelled over the continuing wolf-whistles and claps as she moved towards the Gryffindor table. Ginny looked at her. "Move your arse over here. We're eating with the Slytherins."

Ginny grinned. "Okay. I'm so excited to talk to Draco about your relationship. Are you excited, Draco?", Ginny said innocently as she looked at him.

Draco paled and held back a retort. He had heard of and experienced Ginny Weasley's lungs and hexes. He didn't want to know how much she improved since her fourth year.

Ginny strutted past them towards the Slytherin table as she flipped her hair back, winking at Draco with an evil smirk.

Draco looked at Harry and Hermione. "Should I be scared?"

Harry shrugged. "I'm sure she'll approve." Draco breathed a sigh of relief. "But you have to survive being threatened with the most gruesome fates if you ever hurt Hermione, so be warned." With that, Harry left them and followed Ginny to the Slytherins.

Hermione tugged at Draco's arm. "Come on, Draco. You said we were going to eat with the Slytherins."

Grumbling, Draco followed her.
