Chapter Six: Hermione's Mistake
"What do you mean you know what's going on?", Ron said startled.
"I mean what I said Weasley. Have you forgotten about my father?", Draco asked, "Now are you going to listen to me or not"
"I'm not sure I'd believe anything that came out of your mouth Malfoy", Ron laughed.
"Okay, if you don't want to hear…", Draco muttered.
"No!", Harry shouted.
"Voldemort is indeed back, and stronger then ever. You were tricked Har…Potter", Draco explained.
"Harry! Are you alright?", Ron asked seeing the color drain from his best friends face.
"Give me a minute", Harry said backing into a wall.
"Maybe I should go…", Draco started.
"No…", Harry immediately responded.
"There isn't much more to say", Draco admitted.
"What do you mean I was tricked?", Harry asked.
"I don't know the details…I just overhead my father this summer talking to someone", Draco said.
"Summer was ages ago, you decide to first tell me now?", Harry asked furiously.
"The right time never came up, I didn't know if what I heard was true. That is until I saw what happened to you", Draco answered.
"Why are you telling me this anyway", Harry asked.
"Don't you remember the conversation we had at the beginning of the year? Everything I said was true. That is why I'm telling you this", Draco replied.
"It really doesn't make sense. For six years you hate me, then one day you just wake up and decide you want to be friends? If anyone's trying to trick me, your acting highly suspicious", Harry noted.
"It's your choice whether you believe me or not", Draco answered.
"Come on Harry, let's go", Ron said glaring at Draco, "Don't you think you've said enough for one night Malfoy?"
"I'm only trying to keep your best friend alive Weasley. You should be on your knees thanking me", Draco smiled.
"That'll be the day", Ron said looking towards Harry, "You don't honestly believe him do you? I wouldn't lose sleep over it"
"Oh, he believes me alright. It's just quite the shocker, I'd imagine", Draco explained.
"He's right. You're the one acting suspicious. One minute you act like his friend, the next you act like his enemy. You really need to decide Malfoy, before someone catches your poor acting skills", Ron said before dragging Harry down the corridor behind him.
"I think he's telling the truth Ron", Harry said as they were walking.
"Who Malfoy? You're just a little to gullible sometimes", Ron laughed.
"I'm serious Ron, what else what Sirius want to talk to me so bad about. It's obvious that Malfoy told them what he told us. That's why Sirius was so irritated at seeing you, prolly made him think about how Malfoy didn't tell anyone what he knew all year", Harry continued.
"Snap out of it! This is Draco Malfoy were talking about! Why on earth would Draco Malfoy tell Dumbeldore that you know who was back?", Ron said as they reached the common room entrance.
"I guess we'll find out tomorrow won't we"
"What I have to tell you isn't something your going to want to hear", Sirius said to Harry.
"If it's that I…I didn't really…really kill Voldemort. I already know", Harry stuttered.
"What?", Sirius asked startled.
"Remember last night when Draco Malfoy wanted to talk to me?", Harry asked.
"Malfoy told you?", Sirius asked.
"Yeah", Harry frowned.
"That's not how you should've had to find out", Sirius noted.
"No matter how I found out, honestly do you think it would've made things better?", Harry sighed.
"You going to be alright Harry?", Sirius asked.
"I'd be lying if I said so", Harry admitted.
"Professor Dumbeldore says you should just continue as if you heard nothing. Don't tell anyone besides Ron and Hermione", Sirius explained.
"Does continue as normal mean I can still go to Hogsmeade today?", Harry asked hopefully.
"This time, yes. Next time, it's hard to say. You understand don't you?", Sirius asked.
"Yeah, I understand", Harry said, "Sirius, why do you think Malfoy told us?"
"I'm not sure", Sirius admitted looking at his watch, "but I am sure that I'm going to be late meeting Remus in Hogsmeade, and you'd better get going too"
"Oh, yeah", Harry said seeing what time it was, "I have to run sorry!"
"It's alright, have fun", Sirius smiled.
Harry ran out of the room he and Sirius had been, and tried to figure out in his head the shortest way to the train.
"Harry! Over here!", he heard Ron's voice.
"Hey guys", Harry said jumping onboard.
"Harry, there you are I was getting worried you weren't going to be able to go", Hermione exclaimed, "There's someone I want you to meet, this is Deserea McNeil a friend of mine from Muggle Studies"
"Nice to meet you Deserea", Harry smiled taking a seat next to Ron.
"Desi, everyone calls me Desi", Desi replied.
"Alright", Harry answered.
"So Harry Potter, I'm finally meeting the Harry Potter Hermione's told me all about", Desi said.
"Oh, thanks Hermione", Harry blushed.
"All good stuff of course", Desi laughed.
A little while later, the train began to stop as they reached Hogsmeade. They all quickly and excitedly climbed off.
"Where should be go first?", Desi smiled at Harry who had his mind elsewhere.
"Harry?", Hermione exclaimed.
"Earth to Harry", Ron said giving him a shove.
"Ron, did you see that girl?", Harry asked as he saw Hermione's face get red.
"I wasn't looking Hermione!", Ron laughed.
"Ron, could I have a word with you", Hermione said angrily.
"Sure sweetheart", Ron smiled as they walked away a little.
"Have you forgotten why Desi is here!", Hermione said.
"Hermione, honestly do you think you can match people up like that?", Ron asked.
"What am I suppose to tell Desi, she thinks she's on a date with him!", Hermione reminded him, "and Harry's checking out other girls!"
"That's why you can't set people up like this Hermione. It just doesn't work", Ron explained.
"Ron, you don't get it. Desi thinks she's on a date with Harry!", Hermione said frustrated.
"Hi Harry", Ron suddenly said realizing Harry was standing there, and heard everything.
"One of you has some serious explaining to do!"
