Story so far: Hermione realises that she loves Draco and Dean. As much as she doesn't want to two-time, she doesn't want to dump one either.
Happy reading.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione was walking up to her room after dinner. She had so many thoughts and questions in her head that she just needed some alone time.
In her room, she was working on some assignments. After a short while, she stopped. No matter what, she couldn't take her mind off things.
Pacing back and forth, she thought. Then she began to write in her journal.
-How could I have done this? I am meant to be the smart one. I guess I am so desperate to be able to kiss and love someone without fear. But that's not the only reason I like Dean. He cares about me, like I care about him.
Yet, there is still Draco Malfoy. I'm not one of the guys with him. I'm me! Hermione Granger!
As much as Dean understands and comforts me. Draco knows what I want. I think I love Draco more, but I trust Dean more. It's so complicated not even I can explain it.
Maybe I can find out if Draco really does love me, or if Dean is over Parvati. No, it's stupid, but I find myself saying the words.-
"Accio, truth potion." Hermione cried out. Snape always kept some on his desk. Hermione concentrated and opened her window. Quicker than she expected a bottle of clear potion flew through her window.
"What are you doing?" Seamus asked from behind her.
Hermione quickly placed the bottle behind the water jug.
"Seamus, hi. I'm just getting a glass of water." Hermione said rather hesitant which caused Seamus to have a questioning look.
"Well, goodnight." Seamus said.
"Wait! I'm really sorry about before. You didn't say anything. I don't want you to hate me. I had a bad week and sometimes I say things without thinking." Hermione explained.
"I've been told I do the same. I don't hate you. You're my best friends girlfriend now. Whatever he likes, I like. Goodnight."
As Seamus walked away, Hermione couldn't help but feel guilty. Then she suddenly realised.
"The astronomy tower! Oh shit!"
Hermione ran out through the common room, heading towards the tower. Halfway there, she met Draco in a deserted hall.
"I'm so sorry. I really am. I ran as fast as I could." Hermione said, guiltily.
"It's okay. I missed you though."
"Draco, we can't keep meeting like this. It's too risky. People are suspicious already, but I'm in too deep now." Hermione wished she could tell him just how complicated it was for her.
"I know that you want this as much as I do, just without the fear. I don't want to lose you, just when we've realised-"
"I know, but maybe it's better to end it now before things get out of hand." Hermione said.
"I guess. Just give me one more kiss, for this one week we were together." They kissed. Without fear of anyone seeing them this time.
"Bye, I guess I'll see you around." Hermione said, almost in tears.
"Take care of yourself." Draco replied before they walked their seperate ways.
--------------------------------------------------------
A week passed. It seemed long and slow to Hermione. She had nothing to feel guilty about. She was with Dean and there was no-one else anymore. No matter what, she still couldn't help feeling guilty.
Her and Draco had shared a weeks worth of moments which erased five years of hatred. She couldn't forget it and for once the solution was not in a book.
Hermione once again wrote in her journal.
-This week has been frustrating. I have done all my school work and yet, I feel there is something else I have to do. Dean has been so sweet. But sometimes I find myself nearly running to the astronomy tower in hopes that....I know it's stupid. Maybe this whole thing was a lesson. I truly understand how Dean felt now. Wanting someone you couldn't have. Maybe this whole thing happened to help our relationship grow. After all, he found someone better, so I guess I have done the right thing. Dean is better for me.-
Hermione felt happy at her leap of realisation. Feeling ready she felt she could put the past behind her and put down her journal, smiling.
"I knew there was a reason for all this. I mean, how could I be so desperate for someone after one week. Stupid Hermione! You have Dean now."
Hermione realised she spoke too soon as she heard the voice behind her.
"After that kiss with Malfoy I wouldn't be too sure."

Chapter 6 will be up soon. So Malfoy may not be completely out of the picture.
Happy reading.
