Do I...Love Him?

-Draco's POV-

'Well, this whole "playing" game just isn't working out,' Draco told himself while trying to listen to Snape's boring instructions, 'I just don't get this Granger kid. She confuses the hell out of me. I guess I don't like her as much as I thought I did...she still is the "Filthy (but hot) Little Mudblood".

"Mr. Malfoy, are you sure you are not dozing off in my class," Snape spat at him.

"No, sir, I am not dozing off," Draco smiled but this time it didn't work for Snape.

"I have no choice but to take 1 point from Slytherin on your part, Mr. Malfoy," Snape looked as if he was going to cry.

"Sorry, sir," Draco looked at the potion brewing before him, the smell was just awful. He stirred in some more Wormwood. Didn't work out too well, a huge blue puff of smoke formed out of his cauldron.

"Terrific, Draco, let's see what we've got here," Snape smirked evilly, "If you did this right, we'll be able to bring this mouse back to life." Snape picked up the spoon out of Draco's cauldron and dripped some on the no-longer living mouse.

The mouse did not stir. Professor Snape heaved a sigh of tension. "Malfoy, 5 points from Slytherin, PAY ATTENTION!"

"Yes, sir," The bell rang and dismissal was called, all of the kids gathered up their books and headed to their next class. Malfoy had other plans.

-Hermione's POV-

"See you later, Ron!" Hermione waved as her best friend marched up the net corridor without her.

"Bye, Hermione," He waved back and headed up the tower leading to the Divination room.

Hermione made her way to Muggle Studies. She was passing a nearby classroom where someone pulled her in.

"Who's in here?" Hermione asked.

"Me," Malfoy stood very close to her, as if trying to...kiss her.

"No, you know what, I don't like you. You may think opposite, but I have feelings for someone else!" Hermione screamed and ran to her classroom, down the hall from where she and Malfoy were. Class had already started.

"I'm sorry Professor Zhong, so sorry to interrupt," Hermione bustled to her seat. She sat next to Lavender because all other seats were taken.

"Why are you spreading rumors about Malfoy and I?" Hermione whispered while pretending to be taking down notes about WW2.

"I heard it from Ginny, she said it the second day of school, I thought you two were best friends and you told her everything," Lavender tried to make herself look innocent.

"Yeah, okay," Herm whispered back, Professor Zhong turned around.

"Miss Granger please take a seat next to Mr. Potter," She turned her back to the class again.

"Yes, ma'am," Hermione slid over three seats and switched places with Dean Thomas.

"Hullo, 'Mione," Harry smiled and gave her some notes to copy off of.

"Thanks," Hermione quickly jotted everything down.

She paid attention the rest of the class. 'Next its lunch, I'll be able to talk to Ginny there,' she thought.

The bell rang and Hermione walked with Harry to meet Ginny up for lunch.

They walked in silence before Ron joined up with them. "Hey guys, what is up?" Ron smiled and nudged Harry.

"Nothing, Ron, just stopping to pick up Gin," Ron rolled his eyes at Hermione, which made her giggle.

"What is so funny?" Harry asked her sternly.

"Nothing...look at you, Harry. You're turning into a nightmare. You need a vacation," Hermione told his just as seriously.

"'Mione's right, Harry, you need to get out more often," Ron stopped when Harry stopped, Hermione followed.

Ginny stepped out of one of the nearby classrooms, with Malfoy strolling right behind her.

"Oh my god, Harry," Hermione noticed the look on Harry's face, it was the same look back when his Nimbus 2000 was broken up into pieces by the Whomping Willow, it was the same look when he had rescues Ginny from that snake, wondering if she was going to live, it was that very same look when Harry pulled Cedric out of the Portkey .

"Harry," Ron was too late, Harry ran back towards the Griffindor Common Room.

"You know what, Ron?" Hermione said as they were catching up to Ginny and Malfoy, "It's too bad you can give a girl all of your time and love and have her CHEAT on you!"

Ginny turned around and tried to act surprised. "What are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, little sis," Ron said viciously, "I got in this huge fight with Harry, trying to protect you, now I am getting in a huge fight with you so I can protect Harry, nice combination, eh?"

"B-B-But Ron, Malfoy just skipped class, and he pulled me in there, I was so..." Ginny tried to explain, but none of it worked on her short-circuit brother.

"You know, Ginny, being 16 and all, you work like you're extremely experienced," Malfoy said very loudly, Ginny had a horrified expression on her face.

"You filthy, son of a bitch," Ron dived at Malfoy, knocking him on the ground in the middle of the corridor. Malfoy was trying to swing, but having Ron on top of him hitting him in the face constantly wasn't helping much either.

"Ron! Ron, get off of him, RON!" Hermione pulled at Ron's back and his extremely muscular, arms.

'Wow, he's worked out,' she thought, smiling.

"Hermione, let go!" Ron screamed at her, swinging at Malfoy with just one hand.

"No, get off of him!" Hermione gave him a giant tug and, surprisingly enough, Ron stopped hitting Draco.

"Fine, but I will get you next time," Ron steamed at Malfoy. Professor Zhong came running up to the three of them, Ron standing over Malfoy, Hermione hanging on to Ron's arm, and Malfoy on the ground, holding onto his nose, which was bleeding pretty seriously.

"Detention, for you, Mr. Weasley, get to lunch, and you, Mr. Malfoy, get to the hospital wing!" Professor Zhong shouted at the three remaining people. the crowd standing around them during the fight had scurried off to lunch.

-Ginny's POV-

'I have to go get Harry, explain to him what happened,' Ginny was jogging down the hallway. She met up with the Fat Lady, "Lemon Drops," she told the painting, which swung open to the gold and red Griffindor Common Room.

Ginny mad her way up to the boys' dormitories and silently walked in, Harry sat on his bed, holding a picture of himself and Ginny.

"Look, Harry, I can explain," Ginny began, noticing the hurtful silence between the two of them.

"There isn't anything to explain, Ginny," Harry turned to face he, tears streaming down his cheeks, which was not very common for Harry, this was serious.

This made Ginny want to cry. "Harry, please, I didn't do anything. Malfoy pulled me into the room, and started kissing me. He took off my blouse and we sat there, making out, and then we...you know, I really didn't want it to happen, he was forcing me,"

"Ginny, we're through, okay? Done for!" Harry stomped out of the room, apparently down to lunch, after lunch the trip to Hogsmeade was scheduled.

'Oh my god, I loved him, and look was Draco did, he ruined us, he ruined it for me, for Harry, I'm going to get him," Ginny thought, she decided to plot and evil idea, she'd need her brother's help though.

-Harry's POV-

Harry was sitting at the Griffindor lunch table, though he was not eating any lunch. "I loved her, and she did that to me," Harry had his head in his hands, Ron was sitting next to him, hand on Harry's shoulder, Hermione sat across from Harry.

"Harry, if she loved you so much, why would she do this to you? She apparently was cheating on you, which is extremely upsetting, but you need to let her go, there are more fish in the sea," Hermione tried to tell Harry, this wasn't working, he was just getting more and more upset.

"Hermione, sssh," Ron told her.

"God, Ron, let me talk to him, he's my best friend too!" Hermione got up abruptly from the table and went to the library.

"Ron, you know, she's right, you need to listen to her more often," Harry picked up his head, looking Ron square in the eyes.

"Blimey, Harry. I'm trying to help, my sister is a cheater, and I want to help you out," Ron was interrupted by Harry.

"Do you love her?" Harry asked vaguely.

"Love who?" Ron looked embarrassed.

"Hermione, because if you love the girl, why not confess your love to her, eh?" Harry smiled that half-smile which made Ron laugh.

"Hah, you know, Harry, you know exactly what to say, and how to say it, don't you?" Ron got up, "I've got to go find Hermione."

"That-a-boy!" Harry grinned and went back to his meal.

-Ron's POV-

"Hermione, are you in here?" Ron knew where she was hiding, when she was in her 5th year, this was her hiding place. Ron didn't know how she could fit in there any more.

Her hiding place was near the back of the library, the last shelf of books, and in the little cubby storage place.

"Hermione, you really need to get a new hiding place," Ron smiled at her.

'Just the look of her makes me warm up inside,' Ron thought, 'Ughh, too mushy, I'm thinking poems, how stupid! Blimey I'm in for it.'

"Ron, you really didn't mean what you said, did you?" Hermione looked deep into Ron's blue eyes.

"No, I never meant it, I was mad at Gin, you know?" Ron pulled her out of the cubby hole and sat her down next to him.

"Yes, but still, what if what she was saying was true? Malfoy...raping her?" Hermione looked taken-aback at the very thought of it.

"You know, 'Mione, Ginny was apart of this whole thing too," Ron had the feeling that Ginny wasn't so innocent after all, "I should mail mum," he said.

"No, Ron, don't," Hermione cuddled closer to him her face right next to his, "I-I was talking to Harry...about...things, and he said that..." Hermione was cut of by the soft touch of Ron's lips touching hers.

"Don't worry, Herm, we'll figure it all out, we'll get it straight," Ron hugged her closer. 'Oooh, she cannot believe how good I feel right now,' he said with a grin.
