Chapter 8 - Step aside Malfoy.

Hermione sat alone at the talbe for 20 minutes before Harry Finally arrived with Cho.

"Where have you to been ?" She asked rather annoyed.

"Ron left me and I've been sat here all by myself" Harry paused to think up a story but he didn't need to.

"We went for a walk." Cho said cooly.

"Well thanks alot for telling me." Hermione moaned, "I could have tagged along.

Harry Paused and glaced at Cho who was struggling to hold in what they had just done.

"Sorry Hermione." He said finaly. "Where did Ron go ?"

"How do I know ?" She said and got up. " Well I guess I should go find him."

***

"When I get there I'll just tell her I'm madly in love with her and that Draco just isn't good enough for her." Ron said as he walked toward the Three Broomsticks.

"Who am I not good enough for Weasly ?" Came the voice of the person Ron was hoping not to meet.

Draco Malfoy was stood in the centre of the road, Crabbe and Goyle either side of him. They were blocking Ron's way.

"Step aside Malfoy." Ron muttered, his hand moving slowly towards his wand.

"Or you'll what weasel ?"

"STUPIFY !" Ron yelled raising his wand. Draco stood froze for a moment and then, without warning he fell flat on his face.

"You wanna try anything ?" He muttered to crabbe and Goyle.

They shook their heads and stepped aside.

Hermione made her way down the steps.

"Wait !" Came Harry's voice as he hurried down the steps. "What was it you wanted to tell me at the stile." Hermione smiled at Harry, her eye's moving from his lightning scar and down to his sexy green eyes.

"Can't it wait." She asked. Harry shook his head.

"No, I have to take Cho home she's tired."

And then Hermione's brain was suddenly buzzing.

'Should she tell him ?'

'But what about Ron ?'

What about Cho ?'

And then suddenly she made up her mind and....

Kissed him.
