Hermione up looked at the portrait door to see who had entered their common
room WITHOUT knocking.
Now inside the Head's common room 2 figures stood. It was none other than Harry Potter and Ronald Weasly.
" So this is what you've been doing the whole week of school! Snogging with the enemy! I thought you were our friend Hermione!" Harry said with fury in his eyes.
" Loo-" Hermione tried to speak but was interrupted by Ron.
" Hermione? What happened? We all use to be friends. And now we find you snogging with Malfoy! Have you gone mad or something?" Ron said with a hurt expression on his face.
" I can explain!!!!!! I was going to talk to you about it today! Really I was! And I wasn't snogging with Draco this first week of school! I was jus- " Hermione was about to go on but was interrupted again by Harry.
"Save it Hermione! We don't need your explanations! We aren't THAT stupid." Harry spat out while glaring at her. Then turned to Malfoy and glared at him too.
Draco was just sitting there not wanting to explain either, in fear that he would be hexed to hell.
" I never said you were! Just please! Let me ex-" Hermione kept being interrupted and had gotten furious herself since they wouldn't let her speak.
"Hermione what's to explain? We caught you snogging with Malfoy. It's not as if you accidently fell on him and your lips just happened to meet his." Ron said looking at the floor.
" YOU NO WHAT! FINE THEN I WON'T EXPLAIN TO YOU! YOU GUYS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE MY TWO BESTEST FRIENDS! BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU AREN'T! BEST FRIENDS WOULD ACCEPT WHO THEIR BEST FRIEND IS DATING! SO IF YOU WANT TO BE MAD AT ME THAT BLOODY HELL GO AHEAD!" Hermione cried out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Why can't they understand? Why won't they let me explain?'
'Um Hermione...maybe it's best if we don't see each other. I mean it really effected Potter and Weasly.'
'NO! If they can't accept you being my boyfriend then they aren't really much friends' at all!'
'Ummm ok. Are you going to be alright?'
'Yes..i just need time alone.'
'Okay.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry and Ron had shocked faces. Hermione never had spoken to them like that before, only about homework.
" FINE THEN! I GUESS WE"RE NOT FRIENDS!" With that Harry left with a very mad expression.
He had even knocked down some first years on his way back to the Gryffindor common room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Hermione...I thought we were friends'. What happened?" Ron slowly turned around, but turned back to look at Hermione once more then slowly exited the room.
" RON We are still friends! But only if YOU want to be!" Hermione cried out after Ron.
Ron had heard her but was still a little hurt and confused about seeing her best friend snogging with the enemy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione closed the portrait door and sat back on the couch beside Draco.
" Oh what am I going to do?" She began to sob lightly.
Draco pulled her into a hug, and cradled her back and forth.
"Shhhh...It's okay. They'll understand soon enough. Just give them some time." Draco said softly.
" But didn't you see the look on Harry's face! He was absolutely furious! And Ron! He looked so hurt!"
" Hermione...you should go talk to them. But not right away. Give them some time."
" Okay. Look I'm going to go find Ginny I need to talk to her. I'll see you later okay?"
"Okay bye."
Hermione got up and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Then exited the common room.
She made her way to the Gryffindor Common room and said the password. As she entered the common room, to her luck Harry and Ron were no where in sight. Then she remembered they had quidditch practice.
Hermione saw Neville sitting on the couch.
"Hey Neville!" Hermione said trying to act cheerful.
"Hey Hermione! It's been a long time since we've talked! How are you?" Neville asked.
"Oh yes it has been awhile since we've spoken. I'm fine..Things could get better but I'll deal. How are you?"
"Oh I'm fine. But I haven't gotten much sleep lately."
"Oh dear that isn't good. Well umm I was wondering if you knew where Ginny was?"
"Oh yea she's still in the girls' dormitory."
"Oh thanks Neville. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay bye."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione made her way up the staircase to go to the girls' dormitory. As she opened the door. It seemed as if it were empty. But then she saw Ginny looking out the window.
" Ginny?"
"Hermione!" Ginny was shocked to see Hermione there.
"Umm have you spoken to Ron or Harry early today?"
"Yes. They came to me after they came to see you. They told me they caught you snogging with Malfoy. Is it true?" Ginny asked curiously.
" Well.umm...yes. That is why I came to see you today. I was going to tell you today myself, and Harry and Ron too. But they came at a really awkward time."
Ginny giggled.
" So you guys are together now?"
" Yea..i guess you could say that."
" OH Hermione! You are the luckiest girl in school!" Ginny squealed.
"So you're not mad at me for kissing the enemy?"
" Why would I be! You can kiss whomever you want! Just as long as I don't have a thing for the guy too." Ginny giggled.
" Oh Ginny thanks for understanding! I'm so glad you're my friend!!!!!"
" Well what kind of friend would I be! You can date whoever YOU want! It's not up to me, Harry, or Ron!"
Hermione began to cry out of joy and hugged her best friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco was in the common room, listening in on Hermione's lil conversation with the youngest Weasly.
' You must be happy Hermione.'
'Yes I am actually! Um Draco?'
'Yea?'
'Can I just put the spell on myself for the day?'
'Oh go ahead..i don't mind.'
'Thank you soooo much!'
Hermione said the spell in her head. Then returned to her conversation with Ginny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So Hermione..is he a good kisser?"
"Ginny!"
"Hey? What can you expect from me? I'm a hopeless romantic friend!"
Both girls' began to laugh. Hermione was so glad Ginny took it well.
" Well yes he is an excellent kisser...WAY better than Viktor."
" Awww Hermione! You are soooo lucky!"
" Ginny he really is a good person! But don't tell anyone that."
"I won't. Wow Slytherin Prince falls in love with a Muggle Born witch..his sworn enemy. What a story!"
"Ginny you CAN"T tell anyone about Draco and I! Promise!"
"I promise..'Mione you suck all the fun outta things'!"
"No I don't!"
"Yes you do!"
"Oh yea..while I'm on the topic of telling you things'...i have some other things' to tell you about. But first I want to say sorry for not spending time with you the whole first week of school."
"Awww Hermione it's okay! Now..go on with the things' you need to tell me!"
"Okay but I don't want to have to explain okay? It's hard enough as it is..."
"This is serious..but okay. If it's hard than do it as you want to..i won't pressure you."
" Thanks..well um..
My father killed my mother the day before school. He r-raped me the same night. He beaten me senselessly the morning of going to kings cross. I'm not a muggle born witch. I'm a halfblood. My biological father is Andrew Guyard. Draco was the one to comfort me when I was sad and that's why I haven't spoken to people throughout the whole week."
Hermione began to hold back the tears. While her good friend began to cry her eyes' out.
" Hermione I'm sooooo sorry! I didn't know! Stupid Ron! Stupid Harry! I'm sorry Hermione I really am!"
"Ginny it's okay...I kind of over it. Just please don't tell ANYONE about this! I don't want anyone knowing! And I especially don't want Harry or Ron to know. I'll tell them myself if I want them knowing."
" Okay. Hermione I'm sooo sorry."
"It's okay."
The two girls' hugged each other, and began to chat about their week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They talked and talked for what seemed to be hours...but was just really 2hrs long. The two girls' decided to go down to the Great Hall and eat lunch.
When they got there they saw Ron and Harry sitting in the middle of the long table. Ron looked up from his plate to see Hermione and Ginny, but Harry just continued his gaze on his food.
Hermione and Ginny decided to go sit at the end of the table. They sat beside Lavender Brown, and Pavarti Patil.
Hermione turned around to look at the Slytherin table to see if Draco was there. And he was. Just simply eating his food. While Parkinson tried to "woo" him.
(A/N hahahaha don't you think woo is such a funny word to use? Coz I do! Heheehehe lol)
Hermione felt a pair of eyes on her coming from the Gryffindor table. Then she turned her head to see who was looking at her and saw Ron. She lipped the words "sorry" but Ron quickly looked away.
Hermione began to talk to the other girls' about..well girl stuff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Harry maybe we should give her a chance to explain?" Ron said sadly.
"Ron! She was snogging with Malfoy! There is nothing too explain!" Harry said with a growl.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After lunch Hermione left the girls' and headed to the library to do her Potions essay and to do some research on telepathy.
Hermione sat herself down at one of the tables and began her potions essay.
After and hour or two, she finished her potions essay which was on the Draught of Living Death.
She decided to get up and fine books on telepathy. As she was running her fingers down the spine of the books, but stopped when she heard the door to the library open.
' No one ever comes to the library on Sunday's except for me. Who can it be?'
Hermione looked to see who had entered and it was Ron.
Ron had spotted Hermione and went her way. He needed to talk to her. He needed to know why she was kissing Malfoy.
Hermione quickly turned back to look at the books. When someone tapped her on the shoulder.
" Um Hermione? Can we talk?" Ron said softly as if concerned.
" Well what's there to talk about? You guys said I wasn't your friend.." Hermione snapped back without knowing why she did so.
" Hermione I'm sorry I was just hurt and confused. But please..please explain why you were snogging with Malfoy. I still want to be bestfriends. Really!"
"Okay" Hermione and Ron sat themselves at the table where Hermione's essay was.
After they sat down Hermione was the one to speak up first.
" So what is it you want to know?"
"Well Hermione..I want to know why you were kissing..Malfoy."
Ron looked sad..but confused. He needed answers. He hated to be confused.
" Well Ron..i was going to tell you today before you and Harry barged in that well...Draco and I are well..together now."
Ron frowned.
" Since when? And Why exactly? He has been calling you a well..you know ever since 2nd year. What caused you to like him now?"
" Well since yesturday after playing volleyball actually. And why..it's because he's changed. He was the one to see through my fake smiles, he was the one who could see how I truly felt inside. He was the one to make an effort to help me. He was kind to me! He helped me! Yesturday you know how I told you that I had many head duties and such. HE offered to take all the work! He was the one to help me yesturday JUST so I could spend time with you and Harry." A tear rolled down Hermione's face but she quickly wiped it away.
" I'm- I'm- I'm sorry Hermione..i didn't know. I'm sorry."
"It's okay Ron." Hermione said softly.
" But- but- but what I don't get is ..why were you sad?"
" Well please understand that I do not want to go into detail and I don't want anyone else knowing. Draco and Ginny are the only other ones who know. Ginny I told today. So promise me you won't tell anyone."
"I promise."
" Well..the night before going to hogwarts my-my-my father killed my mother...and-and h-he raped me."
" He WHAT?"
" Shhhhh!"
"Hermione I'm so sorry! I didn't know..Please forgive me! I've been a horrible friend!"
"It's okay Ron."
Hermione hugged Ron. Ron felt so ashamed. He hadn't been much of a good friend.
"Ar-Are you going to tell Harry? I won't tell him about my parents...but I will tell him about Draco and I being together. That is IF he confronts me. "
"Okay"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They began to talk to each other like before. Then Ron began to do HIS Potions essay. While Hermione looked for books on telepathy. She decided to read them in her common room.
" So Hermione what's up with all the books on telepathy?"
"Oh it's just that I want to read up on this.it's seems interesting." Hermione quickly lied. She didn't want to..but she didn't want people knowing that her and Draco shared thoughts.
" Oh ok."
After another hour or so. Hermione looked at her watch.
" Look! It's 6:30 pm! We should go down to the Great Hall and get some dinner!"
" Bloody Hell I'm hungry!"
Hermione giggled.
"Ron! You're always hungry!"
" True" Both of them laughed their way to the Great Hall.
As they entered the Great Hall they stopped before heading towards their table.
Harry was sitting alone.
" Hmmm maybe you should go sit beside Harry Ron. I'll go sit with Ginny and the other girls'."
"Good idea."
They said their good byes and headed to their friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
' I take it you and Weasly have made up?'
'Oh Hi Draco! Yes we have! I'm really happy too!'
'Well I'm glad to hear it!'
Hermione looked over to the Slytherin table and caught sight of Draco who was also looking at her with a smirk. Hermione giggled.
Then her and Draco stopped looking at each other and returned to talking to their friends. Hermione looked up to Professor Dumbledore, and he looked back at her with a twinkle in his eye then looked towards Draco.
'Dumbledore sure is acting odd.'
'Yea I know what you mean! He's been looking at me like that every time I've seen him today!'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hermione! Earth to Hermione!!!!!"
Hermione's thoughts were interrupted when a young red haired girl began calling upon her.
" Hmmm what? Sorry."
"We were just discussing what we think about Malfoy."
Hermione quickly blushed. Then remembered that she's suppose to hate him.
" Well we all think that on the outside...he is MAJORLY hot! And he has that little something that all girls' love! But we think that he is a stupid git sometimes." Lavender Brown said.
Hermione didn't know what to say so she just nodded and said " He is a stupid git who spends way to much time on his hair." All the girls' giggled. And Ginny winked at Hermione. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Hermione..i'm appalled! I thought you liked me!' Draco said/thought.
'Oh now you know its just a joke! You're the greatest thing that has happened to me!'
'That's what I thought!'
'Oh don't be so full of yourself!'
They continued their little joke fest of insults and such until dinner was over. But they were called upon the Head Master to stay behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
A/N hmmm I wonder what Dumbledore wants from them!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH ehehehhe the volleyball will come soon! Hehehehhehehe evil plans man! Hahhahahaha well please REVIEW
