All I Have revised Chapter 3: Hermione's Hatred, a harry potter fanfic

A/N: Hey! Thanks all for the reviews. Love you all! Here's Chapter 3 now, and it's called Hermione's Hatred.

Chapter 3: Hermione's Hatred.

The first week of classes passed by quickly. Because of his good mood, Snape had been treating his students fairly, much to the Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's surprises. He didn't favor Slytherin much anymore, in fact, he loathed them. (A/N: Sorry, Draco, sweetie. I had to do that for the plot. Hope you'll understand.)

Things were also great in the Head Boy & Girl Common Room. Harry, Cho and Professor Halliwell are in good terms, and helped each other a lot. Blaise and Draco were also getting along just fine.

But what wasn't going right was between Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. On Thursday evening, after coming from a prefect's meeting, Hermione had gone to Gryffindor Common Room and found Ron...snogging... with a half-naked Claire Harris, a Gryffindor 5th year.

Hermione stood motionless at the doorway, still in shock. Neither Claire nor Ron noticed her. Tears flowed down from her eyes silently as she watched the scene. When she found her voice, she said, "Ron... how could you?" her voice shook.

Ron looked up, while Claire glanced at the doorway. Claire's eyes were frightened, while Ron's was guilty. "'Mione... I can explain..." he said huskily.

(A/N: [Ron] {Hermione})

{It's such a shame, but I'm leaving. Can't take the way you mistreating me. And it's crazy, but oh baby, it don't matter, whatever, don't phase me}

[I don't believe you wanna leave like this. I don't believe I just had my last real kiss. I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce. Wait a minute, don't bounce baby. Let's talk about this miss.]

{Well I'm bouncing, and I'm out son. I gotta leave you alone. Cause I'm good, holding down the spot, and I'm good, repping the girls on the block, and I'm good, I got this thing on lock, so without me you'll be fine, right?}

{All my pride is all I have} [Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have.] {You'll be needing me but too bad.} [Be easy, don't make decisions when you're mad] {The path you chose to run alone} [I know you're independent, you can make it on your own] {Here with me you had a home} [But time is of the essence, why spend it on your own?] {Oh yeah}

{The nights I waited up for you. [Oh boy] Promises you made about coming through. So much time you wasted, that's why I had to replace you...}

[It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settling down. Especially me, I was creeping all over town. Thought my tender touch could lock ya down. I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds. The way you used to giggle right before I put it down. It's better when you're angry, come here, I'll prove it now]

{Stop playing, you gaming. I gotta leave you alone. Cause I'm good, holding down the spot, and I'm good, repping the girls on the block, and I'm good. I got this thing on lock, so without me you'll be fine right?} [Here we go]

{All my pride is all I have} [Pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you have] {You'll be needing me but too bad} [Be easy, don't make decisions when you're mad] {The path you chose to run alone} [I know you're independent, you can make it on your own] {Here with me, you had a home} [But time is of the essence, why spend it on your own?] {Oh yeah}

[People make mistakes to make up, to break up, to wake up, cold and lonely. Chill baby, you know me. {Oh...} Love me, I'm like you're homie. Instead of beefing, come hold me. I promise I'm not a phony. Don't bounce baby, console me]

{Ain't nothing you can say to me that can change my mind, I gotta let you go now. And nothing will ever be the same, so just be on you're way. Go ahead and do your thing now. There's no more you can say to me, you know. I know you're game, and feeling what you'll do. And I'm bouncing, and I'm out son, I gotta leave you alone, yeah yeah yeah!}

Meanwhile, Claire was watching the scene. She went mad at Ron. "Ron! Hermione, I'm sorry. It's all Ron's fault. He... he seduced me. I thought he didn't have a girlfriend. So I... I agreed." Tears spilled down from her eyes.

(A/N: ~Claire's part~)

~ Can I go now? Say what you have to say. Happy you've got your way, there's nothing to discuss. Can I go now? Giving your point of view, say what you want it to, so what's the point of love. Can I go now? Oh say what you have to say, happy you've got your way, there's nothing to discuss... Can I go now? Can I go now?~

"That's okay, Claire. I understand." Hermione replied with a look of determination in her eyes. "We're through, Ron. To hell with you." She said, wiping her tears away. With a swish of her cloak, she exited the common room.

"Granger? Is that you" a voice drawled.

Hermione looked up to see Draco Malfoy looking at her. "What is it, Mal- ferret?" she said coldly. Just my luck! The King of Ferrets himself appeared here to see me cry..., Hermione thought wryly.

"Hermione... what's wrong?" He said calmly and caringly. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a white handkerchief. Hermione took it, and wiped her face, not caring if he was her nemesis.

She could only stutter. "Ron... Claire... in the common room..." her voice faltered, and she sobbed again. Draco felt anger rush to his insides. "Hermione, honey, did he hurt you?" he asked.

"He betrayed me... he was snogging with Claire." she replied, still sobbing.

Draco's heart reached out for Hermione. "I'm sorry what happened. Please don't cry anymore." he coaxed. He took Hermione in his arms and held her for a long time, after Hermione stopped sobbing.

"C'mon Hermione. You have to go back to your room now. It's getting late." He said. Hermione nodded. "Thanks, Malfoy. Good night."

Draco planted a kiss on Hermione's forehead. "Good night, sweetheart."

In the Head Common Room, Harry, Cho and Professor Halliwell were laughing to Cho's jokes. A knock came, alerting the three heads. Professor opened the door to reveal a tear-striken Hermione with the king of ferrets, Malfoy.

"Hermione! What happened? Why aren't you in bed?" Cho asked worriedly.

Draco helped Hermione get inside the room. "Potter... I'm just here to take Hermione to you. Now, good bye." he exited as quickly as he could.

"Miss Granger, are you all right?" Halliwell asked, wiping away Hermione's tears. On Harry's orders, Cho made a cup of coffee.

As Hermione drank the coffee, she felt a bit better. "Harry, Cho, can I spend the night here?" she asked timidly.

"What happened, Hermione?" Cho repeated. This time, Hermione answered.

"Ron... he was snogging with" she gulped "Claire."

"What?!" Harry spat while Cho said blankly. "Claire who?"

Hermione answered Cho's question first. "Claire Harris." She sobbed again. "Malfoy saw me at the library and took me here.

"Of course you can stay here." Halliwell said warmly. Hermione smiled gratefully at her.

A/N: Well, there's Chapter 3. I'm very tired. Spent the night with Draco Malfoy (just in a dream) after he escorted Hermione to Harry. So now, I guess I own Claire and Halliwell. Hmmm... Malfoy, can you be mine? *Sighs* Good night, peeps. Gonna sleep now...
