Here is Chapter 6!
Hermione and Draco have been spotted, kissing. Hermione is going out with Dean, who doesn't know. The whole love triangle thing is soooooooooo complicated. Keep Reviewing!
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione turned around, panicked. She saw Parvati standing in the doorway, more angry than she had ever been.
"That's right Hermione, I saw you that night! I never said anything because I was having trouble believing it had actually happened." Parvati snapped.
"You don't understand-"
"I understand perfectly! Not only have you betrayed Dean, but you betrayed Gryffindor house! I can't even look at you." Parvati turned away in disgust and added, "Don't worry, I won't tell Dean, because I don't intentionally hurt someones feelings."
Hermione's good mood dropped. She had known all along that she hadn't deserved Dean, but he had picked her. He liked her alot. She reached into her trunk and pulled out the truth potion. Then walked up to the boys dormitory to see Dean.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione put the drops of truth potion in some water for Dean. She watched him drink, wondering what she would soon find out.
"Dean, I need to ask you. Why do you like me?" Hermione asked.
"It's hard to explain. That day, I saw you upset, I couldn't bare it. I realised that I wanted to make you happy and that you wanted the same thing for me. We've been friends for years and it's only recently I've seen the real you." Dean explained. "You're so independant and I admire that."
"That's nice." Hermione said, smiling.
--------------------------------------------------------
After nearly two weeks of panicking, Hermione realised Parvati still hadn't told Dean about the kiss. Hermione felt closer to Dean than ever. They were walking together to Care of Magical Creatures, her head resting on his shoulder with Draco watching them from behind.
"Hagrid said he has a real intresting lesson for us today." Ron explained. "Then again, his lessons are always intresting."
"I'm not sure intresting is quite the word for it." Harry pointed to the paddock at some very strange creatures. They looked like overgrown slugs with hair and two arms.
"I've read about these, they're called Desicumphs. Quite friendly creature until someone threatens their family as they don't defend themselves."
"I'm sure Hagrid will tell us all about it." Ron said.
"Now you see why I like you?" Dean whispered. "You're so smart and independent."
Oh Dean, Hermione thought, I'm not as smart as you think. She turned back to look at Draco, who was trying to look at the Desicumphs.
The lesson went on. The class was watching the nervous creatures in the paddock. One lifted up it's arm and waved. Another came over to the fence where Pansy Parkinson was standing. It offered it's hand for her to shake.
"Yuk! It's trying to touch me! Go away!"
The Desicumph whimpered. Another came over and spat a hot green substance over Pansy, who started to scream.
"Draco, do something! Eurgh!"
"I told yer not ta threaten 'em." Hagrid said before taking Pansy up to the hospital wing.
"Trust them to ruin a lesson for us." Ron said angrilly.
"It wasn't them, it was Pansy." Hermione corrected him. She thought she should stick up for Draco.
"Whatever! We have fifteen minutes until lunch." Harry stated.
"I'm going to the library then." Hermione kissed Dean goodbye. "See you later."
--------------------------------------------------------
In the library, Hermione tried to study, but she couldn't. She had the feeling that someone was watching her and sure enough a crumpled piece of parchment was thrown on her desk.
-Meet me in the astronomy tower after Potions-
Hermione knew she shouldn't, but she felt the need to, she had to explain how things were now.
The lunch bell rang, Hermione stuffed the note in her bag and walked to the hall.
"Have a good time studying?" Dean asked her as they met at the table.
"Swell." Hermione replied bluntly, staring at Malfoy at the Slytherin table.
"You two. Such a cute couple. So trusting and honest with each other." Parvati said in a mock supporting voice.
"We're just lucky." Dean replied before kissing Hermione.
Parvati glared at Hermione when Dean couldn't see. Harry, Ron, Seamus and Lavender joined the table. While they were all chatting away, Hermione sat deep in thought, throwing in a sentance or two. She stood up.
"I left my books in the dorm. I'll see you later."
"Want me to come with you?" Dean offered, squeezing her hand.
"It's okay, Dean." Hermione kissed his quickly before walking off.
Just before she reached the stairs, she pulled out the note from her bag and held it to her chest.
I have to see him one last time, Hermione thought, no kissing, no love. Just talk.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Draco pulling her into a classroom. A shocked Hermione looked at him and said, "You can't pull me into classrooms like this."
"I couldn't wait any longer." Draco said. "I have to talk to you. You have to know how I feel."
