Seven rolled around the corner and soon Harry, Hermione, Snape, and Filch
were all in the Great Hall. "Your detention is to clean up this mess, and I
have to be somewhere so Filch has volunteered to supervise and keep an eye
on you two," Snape said. The Great Hall was a total mess. There were
streamers everywhere and glitter all over the floor. It looked like a party
was just held there and no one bothered to clean it. Snape abruptly left
and only two phrases were said out of Filch before he turned to leave.
"Fairy convention, clean up and I'll be back later to check on you both."
He was at the doors and he turned around and said, "Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, Snape said that you both are to do this WITHOUT magic, bye now." And he left.
Both of them started to work without talking and then Hermione said, "This sucks, we would be done by now if we could use magic." trying to make conversation.
Harry looked very frustrated and kept on working, ignoring what Hermione said. Finally after a few minutes Harry couldn't take it anymore and exploded with, "Why do you treat all of your old friends like dirt?!?! Hagrid didn't deserve whatever yall did to his house, why don't you and Malfoy just leave us alone and go wreck havoc on someone else!"
Hermione was mad now too. "I didn't do anything, it was all Draco okay? Gosh, why don't you get the facts straight before blaming everything on me." Hermione said angrily. Harry stopped and looked at her. "Your right, I shouldn't have blamed it on you, if not for you, I probably would have been expelled by Snape for being out there. So. what was it that you wanted to talk to me about anyway." Harry asked innocently.
Hermione smiled and walked towards Harry and pulled a torn piece of paper out of her robe. "This." She said and opened the paper to reveal the note that he wrote in her journal.
"Oh, umm." Harry said while blushing. "Is it true?" Hermione asked. Hermione already knew the answer to the question but had to see him say so first.
Harry didn't know what to do. If she really didn't like him but he said yes he would have been so embarrassed, but he nodded anyway. He didn't care, Malfoy could beat him up, but he had to tell Hermione how he felt.
Hermione was thrilled, but she couldn't show it. She was speechless and all she could get out of her mouth was "me too."
Harry looked up at her and smiled. She smiled back. "Well, now that we have that out of the way we have one more problem" Harry said, while his smile was fading. Hermione knew what he was talking about and she too looked saddened.
Harry and Hermione talked for a long time while cleaning up the Great Hall. She told him everything about Draco and what he had said to her that morning. She also told him why she had said yes to Draco and that she really loved him all this time. Harry told her that he too loved her and that he had loved her since their second year of knowing each other.
They soon devised a plan to get rid of Malfoy, and even though it was going to take a lot, they both agreed that it was worth the while.
Finally when they finished cleaning they set off to the dormitory. They both agreed that no one must know about them being together so Harry walked out first and then Hermione a few minutes later. Both of them with smiles on their face glowing as bright as the stars in the night sky.
