A/N - Yep, JK Rowling owns HP, not me (like I could ever think of anything as good!! lol)

Ron had dropped the chess board. "Ron. I think you have to go to detention now,"

Harry said quietly and grabbed Ron pulling him out of the common room. Very soon

followed by Draco. Once they were gone, Harry went back in to see Hermione. "What

was that about?" Harry asked calmly. "I like Draco. Since I had seen him in Diagon

Alley in the summer. It's strange, really," she said. Harry respected Hermione, and he

also knew why Ron was upset by Malfoy - Ron liked Hermione. "I understand, but

neither Ron nor I like Draco. I respect you in your decision. The only problem is Ron. I

know he probably doesn't want me to tell you, but he really likes you," Harry said. "Oh

no. That isn't good. I don't want Ron to hate me, or Draco for that matter," she said.

"I'll try to talk to him when he gets back," Harry said reassuring her. "Thanks Harry, you

are the best friend a girl could have."

Meanwhile, Malfoy and Ron were serving detention with Filch. "Never touch Hermione

again!" Ron exclaimed. "Why, what's she to you?" Draco asked. "I like her, very much, I

don't want you hurting her," Ron said. "I wouldn't want to hurt her. I love her. You are

very dense, Weasley," Draco said. "You what?" Ron asked. "I love her," Draco said

again as they washed and cleaned trophies. They spent the rest of the time working in

silence.

A/N - I do think I wrote nicely for now. yea. I haven't had a good day, I'm disconnected from the internet, so I'm on a different computer! I'd work on it some more, but this isn't my comp! I'll add more later or tomorrow, so I'm sorry it is short. Thanks for the reviews!
