Chapter 12!
Thanks for your reviews, I have a real twist lined up for you guys.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione sat on the train back to Hogwarts. She could feel people staring at her, pitying her. Wishing they could take back all the nasty things they said when Draco was her only companion. Hermione sat looking out the window, Seamus walked into the compartment.
"Hey, how are you holding up?"
"I've been better, Seamus. But thank you." Hermione said not even looking at him.
"I wasn't mad at you for Malfoy, you know. I just didn't like my best friend hurt." Seamus explained.
"Well, you could have told me that when everyone was against me! Now he's dead you think you can just come up and say all those things..." Hermione started but was too frustrated to continue.
"I was true to you! Dean still loves you!" Seamus roared a little too loudly as Parvati passed the open door, pausing at what she heard.
"He does not, he can't still love....HER!" Parvati said, pointing at Hermione as though she was covered in bacteria.
"Has he ever told you that he loves you?" Seamus shot back, not liking Parvatis attitude towards Hermione.
This made her pause and finally she said, "Of course! Don't be stupid."
"Thats right, Parvati." Hermione turned around and glared at her. "Keep telling yourself that."
Parvati ran off in tears, Lavender was right behind her. She glared at Seamus, coldly. "So thats another boyfriend you stole from someone. Well, take him! He upset my best friend."
Hermione felt enraged. Draco had just died and now Lavender was going on about how he could be replaced. By Seamus of all people. Hermione stood up and ran at the speed of light, pushed Lavender into a door of a compartment.
"My boyfriend just died. I want you to remember that. I'm not out to steal Seamus because I believe love can't be replaced that easily. I'm so sick of you fucking around like the glorius one. Atleast I could keep my boyfriend, while you dump yours for talking to me! It's pathetic." Hermione let go of a shaking Lavender and walked through the people staring at her.
--------------------------------------------------------
People were staring at her in the halls for weeks. Thinking, that maybe she did it. Thinking, what if they hadn't loved each other. Pitying her, talking about her, what she did. Each person having no idea what she was feeling.
Hermione hadn't really forgotten Draco, she knew she never would, but she was getting on with her life. No-one good or bad would fall in love with her now, so she wouldn't be in trouble. She didn't want to fall in love again. The reason she didn't know, maybe because she had a feeling Draco was still out there, it was a ridiculous false hope she held on to.
Hermione sat down in Potions, looking at the empty seat where Draco usually sat. Everyone was avoiding her, until Seamus came and sat beside her. She smiled at him, glad she had one friend that was sticking by her and making sure she wasn't alone. Dean sat with them, a shock for Parvati who still believed Dean loved her. Hermione smiled at Dean, hoping one day they could really resolve things and she could move on.
--------------------------------------------------------
Everything was reflected in the crystal ball. Draco had always been experianced in Divination, so he never took up the class. He saw Hermione, everyday. What she was doing, who she was with. He wanted to be close to her but he knew that the only way they could be together is if his father believed he was dead. Unfortunetly, he couldn't send a letter to Hermione for fear of it getting intercepted and he wanted to tell her in person, to try and make it less of a shock. Draco didn't know what Hermione would think. He heard all the things she said to the decoy. He had done the spell so they could be together, but he didn't want her to be so upset. Once again, he looked into his crystal ball, watching Hermione at Potions.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hermione could feel eyes on her, watching her closely. She turned slightly and saw Seamus staring at her, with a look of concern on his face. She knew she had been looking like hell the last few days and if she didn't love him so much, she would have blamed Draco.
"Im fine, Seamus, stop worrying."
"It's not that, you just cut your horned slug by mistake." Seamus pointed at her tray.
"Oh, fuck." Hermione put her head on the desk. Seamus gave her shoulder a squeeze. Dean came over and helped.
Hermione and Dean sat making each others potions. There was a moment when they both grabbed for the cutting knife at the same time and their hands touched. Niether of them pulled away for atleast five seconds.
"I'm sorry for everything." Dean said, staring into her eyes.
"I'm sorry too. You just have to understand how much you and he both meant to me." Hermione said.
"Okay, since we're all a happy reunion now, can we get back to making potion before Snape uses our heads to make dinner!" Seamus said. Even though Professor Snape was so devistated about losing his favourite student, he wasn't punishing anyone.
Hermione and Dean went back to work, unaware that Draco could see everything they were doing.

Okay, so I've upgraded. Now where do you think the story will go? Only time will tell.
