"Harry!" Hermione slapped Harry hard on the cheeks that made his face turn red from pain.
"How 'dare' you do that to him!" Hermione feeling very angry from the pain she feels in her heart, burning with anger, disgust and pain.
Ron, coming to Hermione's side calming her down.
"Hermione!"
He said in a shocked manner.
Harry and Hermione ignored Ron's presence and continued with their conversation.
for Hermione Granger, P for Harry Potter and for Ron Weasley.
"Why did you that to him?!? WHY?!?"
"Because he was dam hurting you!" P
Both of them were loudly shouting at each other.
"For your information HE IS'NT!"
"I 'thought' he was!" P
"Even if you thought he was, you didn't have to beat him up like HELL!"
"It was a mistake!" P
"That was no mistake HARRY POTTER!"
"Now you accuse me as a liar?"
"I know your smarter than that! I know you'll NEVER do such thing! Well, not that I meant counting what you did today."
"Well I'm sorry Ms. Perfect! I'm 'very' sorry that I don't live a perfect life with perfect grades and a perfect everything!" P
"How dare…….." Hermione whispers (Well, not really whisper but it's a bit loud.) to herself but loud enough that Harry could hear.
Harry suddenly turned his back at Hermione.
"How dare you treat me like that!"
"I thought people change Granger." P
With that, Harry left Hermione and the speechless Ron going towards the others at Hogwarts for they were far behind.
When Harry was out of sight, Hermione cried intensely and fell to Ron's comforting hands.
"Ron!!!!! How could he!?!"
"It's ok Hermione, it's ok. Calm down."
"How can I calm down when that bastard treats me like shit!?! I'm his best friend!"
"Harry's just in his mood's. That's all."
Ron could think of anything else regarding Hermione's position.
"Well, he could keep his moods! Tell him I never want to speak to him again!"
Hermione was in her hottest mood, the mood that no one ever seen, even Ron nor Harry.
"But he's your best friend."
"Some best friend! I don't think best friends beat up other friends! OR…. Or calls me names after all that I have done to him! Is his how best friends treat each other?!?
Ron, understanding her position, saw that he was speechless. After all, she was right, Harry wouldn't do anything preposterous like that and specially called Hermione, Granger or Ms. Perfect. All that Ron could do is to comfort Hermione, wiping of her tears, hugging her closely towards the gates of Hogwarts.
*************************
Every one was looking at Ron and Hermione walking through the corridors toward the Gryffindor dormitory.
Hermione was still shy and hid her tears in Ron's chest until they reached the dormitory.
While they were walking, Hermione saw that Draco wasn't there, she thought that he might be in the hospital wing. Apparently, the sorting ritual was already done as the new Gryffindors followed the Gryffindor perfect to the common room.
As they arrived, Harry was not to be found in the crowds, probably in his dormitory.
Ron assisted Hermione up the stairs and left her on front of the girls dormitory. Saying one last comforting sentence to Hermione.
"It will be aright Herm."
Ron smiled and walked away concerned for his best friend.
********************
Hermione felt relived now that she was comforted by some one but yet, she had a heavy heart for one of her most trusted best friend betrayed her and placed scars in her heart that was once full of joy.
She ran inside her dormitory and sat near the window and wept softy that tears fell one by one. Each tear shed pain and sadness. She didn't know what to do, suddenly some one held one of her shoulders.
"Lavender!" "Wha… what are you doing here?" wiping her tears away
"Well, first, checking if you guys are comfortable cause as you know, I am a Prefect and second, to help my best friend in the world in times of hardships and trials of coarse!"
"Well, thanks Lavender."
"It's ok. So, why turn on the water works Hermione?"
"Um, It's about Harry!"
"What about Harry?"
"He……. Punched one of my friends and called me well….. Ms. Perfect and Granger! He never called me Granger since we met!" she collapsed on the arms of Lavender and held it tight.
"It's ok Herm, I'm sorry. It's not like Harry to do that sort of thing to someone. I know that Ron's more of the type that would do that but certainly not Harry."
"I KNOW!!!!!!!!"
"Calm down Herm, your getting hysterical!"
"Sorry, I just can't help it! "Hermione, letting go of Lavender's arms.
"Um, Herm, who was your friend?"
"I……. I"
"Come on, you know I would always keep our discussions secret."
"I know that, but please don't exaggerate too much if I tell you ok?"
"Sure, I know its not Draco Malfoy."
Hermione went silent.
"Oh no! Don't tell me it's him?"
"Ok, I won't tell you."
"Oh my god! It's him? Why????"
"Well, I'm not so sure but he seems nice."
"Malfoy nice?!?! You must be out of your mind!"
"Draco's….."
"Wait! Now you call him Draco?"
"Well, ya but its not that bad!"
"But that 'Malfoy is a prick, bad ass, damn, stupid….."
Hermione place her hand at Lavender's mouth to keep her quiet.
"Amazing, loving, nice, cool, pretty, cute and sexy boy. You know that it's true, you had a crush on him before."
"I know but….."
Hermione stared at Lavender as thou telling her 'admit it'.
"Ok, ok, so it's true but how come he's your friend and Harry punched him."
"I told you! I don't know how or why but all I know that Harry said that he thought that he was hurting me but I know that he knows better than that."
"Maybe he was really hurting you?"
"I don't think talking to him was offensive?"
"Oh, that's weird, well anyway, thanks for talking to me and trusting me. I'll try to check up on him."
Hermione grabbed her arm and tugged her.
"No!"
"Herm, don't worry, I won't make it obvious, promise. Now, stop crying cause your ruining you pretty face. You don't want Mal… I mean Draco see you like that ey?"
"I guess not." She hugged her.
"Thanks again."
"Any time Hermione."
With that, Lavender went out through the door leaving Hermione with a happy thought…. Draco.
************************
Ron stomped inside the boy's dormitory looking for Harry.
When he saw him, he quickly grabbed his shoulder.
"Harry!"
But Harry shrugged his hand away and started to pace faster down one of Hogwarts' corridors.
Ron chased him trying to keep up with his speed.
Ron tried the second time but this time it was harder.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Harry became irritated.
"WHAT?"
"What the hell did you do to Hermione?
"Oh, Granger? Nothing, why?"
Ron went on front of Harry.
"Now you call her Granger? When did you start calling her Granger? Huh? Since when?"
"Since now."
"Oh, that's……… that's just bloody great! Harry? What happened to you Harry? Your not the same anymore. I mean, how could you? Hermione is our best friend since……. Since forever! Then you just insult her because of Draco?"
Harry kept his silence.
"Harry, she loves you very much as a friend, don't ruin our friendship. Please."
Harry started crying, tears of guilt fell down his face.
He passed Ron and ran as fast as his legs took him.
Ron cried out loud, "You just lost one of the many treasures in your life Harry!"
Ron went back to he dormitory to check on Hermione.
******************
Harry found himself in the middle of the Quidditch field under a light shower of rain, weeping quietly for a reason.
"What have I done!?!"
Harry's tears hid in the rain. He looked up in the sky and took of his glasses and started to cry once more in silence.
Just then, a hand shook him in his shoulders.
"Hey Potter, are you ok?"
Harry quickly realized whose voice was that. He placed his glasses back and faced him.
"What do you WANT 'Malfoy'?"
"Just checking you out. You might be lost in this rain and couldn't find your way back."
"Haha…. 'very' funny Malfoy! My eyes are popping out just laughing."
"Good, now you realize that you're really blind."
Just when Draco was leaving, Harry called for him.
"And just what do you mean by that?"
"You know, I should have beaten you up in the train badly, but your Mud-blood friend Granger just stopped me."
"I could see that, I just took advantage of the opportunity."
"Ha! Well, we do have a twisted ending to that opportunity, and it serves you right! Unlucky shot ey Potter! I think jealousy has gone in your way."
As Draco started to walk back but then, he said to Harry.
"Oh yeah, If I catch you hurting Hermione once more Potter, it will be the end of the line for you. I hope we cleared things up here a little bit."
Harry knew his twisted faith but he cannot lose to that ferret boy Malfoy.
"This is just the beginning Malfoy."
******************
After Ron checked out Hermione, she went outside to the upper balcony of the castle grounds where she usually go alone since she found it by accident in their 4th year at Hogwarts. There, she found peace and quiet all to herself. Then suddenly………
"Care to share a space there princess?"
Some one called out from behind.
Hermione felt afraid but still very reassuring when she heard a voice at her back.
When she looked around, she was happy to see this very special person, namely…
"Draco!" Hermione ran to Draco's arms and cried softly in his chest.
Draco lifted up her face and wiped of the tears in her eyes by his thumb.
"Hey, I'm ok princess, no need to cry. I'm ok… see. You mind if I call you princess?"
Hermione let go of Draco and felt very happy.
"It's ok and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that to you. I…… I was just worried that…….."
Draco places a finger in her lips tenderly to stop her from talking.
"It's ok. You know, you should never worry that much about me when I get hurt. I'm Draco Malfoy for Heaven's sake! Nothing could kill me and specially not that Potter!"
Hermione came to a halt when she heard Harry's name. Draco now knew that it hurts her.
"Oh, I'm sorry princess. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Draco slid under Hermione's arms and hugged her softly cradling her gently side by side.
"It's ok, it's just that he…… I don't know what to think of him Draco."
"Well, maybe you should forget him for awhile and live your life. I know that he means a lot to you and……. a lot to me too."
Hermione froze to the thought that Draco liked her in a way.
Draco felt her insecurity.
"You don't have to be afraid of me anymore princess, I'm always here for you."
Draco, inch by inch went to her cheeks and Hermione can feel the hotness of his breath then finally kissed her tenderly and lovingly on her cheek.
"You know that. Don't you?"
"I guess."
Hermione released herself from Draco's hug.
"Draco, why are you doing this to me?"
Stunned by the question, Draco nervously answered her.
"Well, I think you're an interesting girl with a huge successful future, beautiful, pretty, has great fighting spirit, thoughtful, giving and a loving, tender, caring heart to top it all of."
Hermione was left speechless and couldn't think of any word to describe her emotions.
"No… no one has ever said anything like that to me before. Not even Harry or Ron!"
"As I told you, you don't have to be scared of me anymore."
Hermione gave him a smile that said everything.
Draco went to her and place one of his hands on her waist and they walked of to the great hall for dinner.
As they were walking near the Great Hall, Hermione sprang a thought.
"Wait! Draco, we shouldn't enter together."
Draco let go of Hermione.
"What? Why?"
"Well, that would ruin your image with me… particularly a mud blood."
"Oh, don't think about that princess! I don't care what they think!"
"I know! I don't care too but it's just that seeing us together would be weird and too fast for them don't you think so?
"Well, kind of. I'll miss you."
"Draco, it's just dinner and were right across each other."
"I know, but can you meet me at the balcony later please. I need to talk to you."
"Um, ok, well see you there then."
After that, they went to there separate ways to the Great Hall. Hermione's insecurity with Harry vanished at the sight of Draco.
As she arrived at the Great Hall, Draco was already seated between Crabbe and Goyle. As for her, she was seated in between Lavender and Ron. They were about to eat when suddenly; Prof. Dumbledore gave an announcement that made a great commotion in the Hall.
