Chp. 8 Friends will be friends
**Italics means a character is thinking to themselves**
Oh and I almost 4got:
Disclaimer- I do NOT and I repeat, I do NOT own any of these characters. They all belong to JK Rowling. But the plot is mine, and I can do whatever I want with it......Mwahahahahaha
"Oh shit. Why are you here?" Harry was staring straight back at the person he'd been trying to avoid at all costs......Hermione. "Harry we need to talk. Please. You don't understand the whole story." Harry was to upset with her to respond. He sat down in a different spot and ignored her. "Harry, you can't ignore me forever." She was on the verge of tears. "Says who?" Harry said. "Harry, your not the only one who has problems. I was very nervous the night Draco kissed me. And I was tired when I was explaining it to you. Maybe I mixed up my words. But Harry you have to understand that I still love you." Harry was lost for words. His heart was telling him to take her in his arms and forgive her for everything, but his head was reminding him of the awful thing she did to him. He couldn't figure out which way to go. "Hermione, I don't know if I can ever look at you again let alone forgive you. I loved you, and you.........you betrayed me." Harry wanted to cry so bad, but he couldn't let her know how much he was hurting. He had to be strong. "Harry I........" Now she was the one lost for words. She couldn't think of what to say. I did hurt him. I can see it in his eyes. It was like Harry was reading her mind because the next thing he said was just what she was thinking. "Hermione you hurt me. And I know you can see that. You want me to forgive you? Then apologize.......and I mean it." But Harry couldn't take it anymore. His tears were starting to fall. He had to leave.
Draco and Blaise had left the common room and were now roaming the hallways. It was pretty late, but they couldn't talk with all the other Slytherins conversing. They had roamed almost 5 diffrent hallways until Blaise finally spoke. "Look, I know this sounds like I'm getting soft on you, but Hermione is a really nice girl. She and I work together quite often, and she's helped me through alot of my classes. Just don't hurt her. She's not a girl you find everyday." Draco stopped in the middle of the hallway. Blaise stopped with him. "What's wrong?" Draco looked upset and confused. "I have this reputation though. Everyone is going to expect me to just sleep with her and then move on to the next girl. But I really like her. I mean, to tell you the truth, I'm not even truly sure that she's completely over Harry yet." This was very shocking for Blaise because Draco always seemed so sure of himself, especially back in the common room. But she didn't show her shocked expression. She just smiled and laughed. "We can call this place "The Hall of Dracos Feelings." He laughed. This was the first time he was glad to show his true feelings. Draco put his arm around Blaise's shoulder and they walked back to the dormitories together.
Harry was on his way back to the dormitories when he heard someone call his name. "Harry, wait up!!!" It was Ron. Oh no. I can't talk to anyone right now. He still had tears on his cheeks and his eyes were a little red. Ron had finally caught up to him. "Hey. I haven't talked to you in days! Where have you been?" Harry was trying as hard as possible to avoid Rons face. "Um.......studying." But Ron saw the tears on Harrys cheek and had ignored his answer. "Harry, have you been crying?" Harry was screwed. He couldn't tell Ron the truth. "Um, yeah, my cat died..........wait no my dog did!" But Ron knew he didn't have a dog or a cat. "Come on Harry, whats wrong?" Harry was stuck, so he said the first thing that came to his mind. "Ummm .........I'm getting circumsized!" Harry thought about what he just said. You are such an IDIOT!!!!! Ron was dumbfounded and disgusted. He really didn't want to picture Harry being circumsized. "Um, ok. Maybe I shouldn't have asked." Harry was actually pretty disgusted himself and his thoughts were going to his di.......But Ron took him away from his thoughts....thank god! "Come on Harry. Lets go back to the dormitories."
Hermione was still in the library. She had to devise a plan to get Harry back and still occasionally see Draco. How could I have been so stupid? How did I let myself get caught between the two guys I shouldn't be getting caught between? My best friend, and my worst enemy?! Oh, I disgust myself! Hermione knew that her feelings for both boys were true. But she still had 1 more obstacle......breaking up with Ron. But she would think about him later. He's not the main problem right now. Ok, Harry told me to apologize. So I will. But Hermione knew Harry wanted more than an apology. He could tell when he added the "I mean it" to the end of his sentence. He wanted her to tell Draco that it was over. That's reasonable........I guess. But it was easier said than done. Then, an idea came to her mind on how to have a relationship with Harry and still receive pleasure from Draco. Perfect...
