A/N: WARNING: This chapter may contain a lot of cussing, and will have fighting. It's gonna get a little crazy. I was totally lost and couldn't think of anything to write, so my friend (daydreamer again, give her a round of applause!) helped me out with this chapter again. We may have gotten a little carried away, but I like it. Lolz. Enjoy!

Chapter 14- Confused Emotions

Hermione's POV

"You bitch!" Ginny shrieked. "You said you didn't care that I was with Harry and now you two are back together? I thought you were a better person than that, Hermione!"

"What are you talking about, Ginny? Harry and I are NOT together, and I DON'T care that you two are. We've been over this a thousand times, but I'll say it slow once more to be sure you understand: I DON'T CARE THAT YOU ARE WITH HARRY SO STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT IT!"

"Well I'm not with Harry anymore, but I guess you already knew about that, huh?" Ginny said sarcastically.

"What are you talking about?" I was awfully confused.

Just then Harry came up behind me. "Uh, Mione, after you ran off, I figured it was just because you didn't believe I really wanted you back, so I dumped Gin to prove I do."

"Harry! Why can't you get it through your thick skull? I do **NOT** want to be with you!" I was so frustrated I felt like I would burst.

Draco was still standing by my side. "Hermione," he whispered, obviously aware that I was about to explode. "Calm down."

"Calm down? I don't want to calm down! I wanna-"

"What is going on in here?" Professor Hayes had chosen that moment to walk into the class, interrupting my train of thought. I tuned her out for a while. "I do not know who started this," she finished off her lecture. "So I will not take points. This time. Now please, everyone, have a seat."

I plopped down in my chair, still fuming. Harry, still not willing to drop the subject, leaned over to whisper to me. "Mione, I-"

"Save it Harry," I hissed. "I don't even wanna hear it."

"Aww, come on, Mione," he said, snaking his arm around my shoulders. "I know you don't mean that."

"Dammit, Harry! Sometimes you're thicker than Neville!" I said a silent apology to Neville.

"But Hermione-" Harry argued.

"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get out of there. I stood up, knocking over my chair, and ran out of the room.

I could hear the commotion behind me as I jogged down the corridor. "Hermione!" Draco called. "Wait!"

"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing, Ferret?" That was Ron. "Leave her alone, it's none of your business!" I heard him pad down the hall after Draco and I.

"Ron!" Harry's voice reached my ears, and I groaned. "If you kill him you're going to Azkaban!" Harry was trying to stop Ron from going after Draco, to prevent him from killing him.

"Harry, wait!" Oh, great, Ginny's in the parade now, too! "If you're not with Hermione..."

(A/N: This may be kinda dumb, but it's too hilarious to stop!!! HahahaHAHAhahaha!!!! I'm lovin this!)

I ran out onto the grounds, to find that it was raining. 'Great. This is perfect.' We probably looked like a bunch of little ducklings. Everyone was shouting, and it was the perfect picture of chaos. Little did we know that all the Slytherins and Gryffindors back in the DADA classroom were acting exactly the same.

"Hermione, wait up!" Draco gasped behind me.

"No!" I yelled, trying to pick up my pace.

"Leave her the hell alone, Malfoy!"

"F*ck off, Weasley!"

"Ron," Harry had caught us. "Sirius told us about Azkaban, remember? It did not sound fun!" This was a pitiful attempt at persuading Ron not to kill Malfoy. He was still glaring at him, and if looks could kill, I'm sure Draco would be buried and cold.

"So I won't get caught!"

"Harry!" Ginny called, waving her arms frantically. She was in hysterics. "Please give me another chance!"

Harry was screaming at Ginny to be heard above everyone else and the pounding rain. "No! I want Mione! We were perfect for each other, and I threw it all away!"

I reached the Quidditch field, and Draco, who was trying to run after me, was tackled by Ron. Harry, who was trying to pull Ron off, was trying to shake Ginny off his leg.

I shoved Harry away, and began trying to pull Ron off of Draco. Ginny bit me, and Harry got up and began pulling at Ron again. We were pitiful. I finally freed Draco, and caught a punch from Ginny, meant for Harry, right in the stomach. I doubled over in pain, gasping for air. Draco helped me up and threw a punch at Harry, who was pulling at my arm. Harry dodged it, though. Suddenly, a loud voice boomed out across the pitch: "WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK YER DOIN?!" Hagrid was bounding toward us. I jumped up, caught Ginny in a punch straight in the jaw, and ran off toward the lake. Draco gave Ron a good punch right in the eye, and raced after me.

Harry, Ron, and Ginny tried to follow us, but were grabbed by their collars by Hagrid. "Ooooohhh no you don't!" He drug them all back to the castle.

I stopped when I reached the edge of the lake. I was soaking and freezing cold, but I didn't care. I didn't even notice that I was crying, since my hair was dripping water in my face as well. I collapsed on the ground, and sat there, hugging my knees, rocking back and forth. What was I going to do?

Draco dropped down next to me when he caught up. "Are you okay?" he gasped. I looked up into his eyes, sniffling, and shook my head. He put his arms around me, and I allowed myself to lean against him, looking up at the sky. It was about half past noon. "I'm sorry," he said. "That was awful."

I nodded. "What am I going to do, Draco? I think I just blew it with everybody I care most about."

"Everybody? You didn't blow it with me," he reminded me.

I turned to look at him. His blue-gray eyes were concerned, questioning, and somewhat troubled. "No," I whispered. "I guess it wasn't everyone I care about then." I gave him a small smile, and he returned it. Slowly, he reached a hand up and gently pushed some wet hair off my face, letting his fingers linger on my cheek.

Slowly, cautiously, he bent down until his face was mere inches from mine. His lips softly brushed mine, and a shiver ran down my spine. He broke away for a second just to come right back again. His hands slid their way down my sides and mine went to the back of his neck. We sat there like that for what seemed like eternity, the rain pouring down all around us.

'Oh my God,' I thought suddenly. I pulled away, my eyes popped wide open, and stared at Draco for a moment. I had just kissed Draco Malfoy. I couldn't believe I had just done that.

I jumped up to my feet. "I- I- I'm sorry," I gasped, and started running as fast as I could against the rain back to the castle. I heard Draco calling after me, but all I could think about was getting back to my room and locking myself up, and forgetting about everything that had happened over the last half hour.

I was completely out of breath when I reached the portal to the common room. I ran through the room and up the stairs, ignoring Hannah and Terry who were sitting on Terry's couch working.

When I reached my room, I slammed the door, hearing Draco pounding up the stairs after me and Hannah and Terry yelling to see if I was alright. I put a magical lock on the door, unable to be opened by a charm.

I went to sit at my window seat, thinking hard. I had fought with my best friends in the world, which I now regretted more than I would have thought possible, and I had kissed what used to be my worst enemy. He obviously wasn't anymore. What was worse, I think I had liked it.

A/N: That was a crazy chapter. I'm sorry. There will DEFINITELY be explanations in later chapters, don't worry. I have a plan.
