Severus Snape stared for a second, then scowled. Lucius Malfoy began to have a staring contest with him. Hermione looked at the two, then started to tip toe backwards towards the common room. No one stopped her and she was grateful. Running into the Gryffindor Common room she wasn't necassairly worried about what Snape and Lucius would do. Hermione opened the door and walked straight into Harry. He glared down at her, she put on a sheepish grin.

"Hermio."

"We saw what happened."

Hermione looked with dread at Ron Weasley who looked disgusted. She walked around Harry and said,

"Ron, it's nothing. I."

Ron shrugged,

"I don't care."

"What?"

"I don't care that you kissed Lucius Malfoy."

Hermione couldn't believe what she was hearing, neither seemed could Harry. Harry just stared at Ron before saying,

"You don't care?"

"Nope."

"May I ask why?!?"

"Well.. I."

Ron suddenly went very red around the ears, and Hermione had a sinking sensation that he had been lying. Then Ron answered. The answer made Harry yell out and Hermione to gaze open-mouthed,

"Well I can relate."

"YOU KISSED LUCIUS MALFOY!"

Ron looked horrified,

"NO! Not him.."

Hermione looked at Ron, then sat in a chair,

"Then how can you relate?"

"Well. I. Uh. Well. You. see.. I. well. she. I. mean. well.uh. you..know.family week. uh.. Well. you.."

"SPIT IT OUT, RON!"

"I kissed Narcissa Malfoy."

This time both Harry and Hermione were speechless. Ron gave a feeble chuckle,

"I'm going to go to bed.."

Harry yelled out,

"WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO! WHY DON'T WE JUST CALL HOGWARTS THE MALFOY WHORE HOUSE!"

With that, Harry ran up to the boy's dormitories. Hermione stared at Ron, he stared back. Neither blinked, just stared, silent. Finally Hermione gave a feeble cough,

"Well. uh. how.did.you. I.. mean."

"I was coming up to see where you had gone, and well uh. Narcissa just kinda came at me."

"Did you just kiss?"

Ron went bright red,

"Uh. yeah?"

Hermione put on a disgusted look that made Ron say indignantly,

"You kissed Lucius Malfoy!"

Hermione shrugged,

"All I did was kiss."

"Really?"

"Well, I think we would have gone on if Snape didn't find us."

Ron put on a confused look,

"You kissed Snape too?"

"NO!"

"Good."

Hermione laughed despite herself,

"I'm going to go to bed."

Ron waved and she went up the stairs to the girl's dormitories.
