Chapter 5-

"Did you see MALFOY" Hermione exclaimed, a pout on her face. Ron shook his head; he wanted to kick that git so hard....

"Yea, he's got a new girl friend, very "unknown" it's strange really." Hermione nodded as she said this.

She was never the one to gossip, but she hated Malfoy as much and Ron and Harry, so this was different.

"She's probably related to Snape" harry said.

"Yea!" Ron exclaimed, "He always likes ugly people, because they look so much like him!"

They laughed, and talked for a while. The train ride was always timed to catch up with people before getting back to Hogwarts. Semus came in for a quick chat, as did Neville and Dean. Ron and Hermione did see a few HufflePuffs at the trolley, but they looked away from harry, and went on their way. Harry didn't seem to notice, since he was buying some Chocolate Frogs.

"Hermione, I'm not copying, IM.... Checking!" Ron yelled, as Hermione made a grab for Harry's Potions essay.

"YOUR COPYING" Hermione screamed back, missing the parchment by a hair.

"Hermione, he's just LOOKING at It." harry said, trying to keep her from tackling Ron.

"HES GONNA COPY OFF YOUR PAPER!" Hermione exclaimed, giving Ron "the eye".

"AND even if I was going to COPY, I wouldn't PALAGERIZE! I'm just gonna use it like.... Like a source of informatioN!" Ron said, giving Hermione the same "eye". Hermione looked at the paper,

"BUT then, YOUR not doing any of your OWN work!" Hermione scuffed, sitting next to Harry in the comfy seats.

Things started to calm down. Ron looked over Harry's paper to get an idea of what to do and began scribbling down his essay. Hermione and harry were sitting across from him, talking. They were halfway there, and all 3 of them were getting anxious.

Ron and Hermione had already changed into their robes, so harry got up to change as well. Ron looked over at Hermione, who was staring out the window, when harry left.

"We gonna talk?" he said breezily.

Hermione looked at him. "What about?" She still sounded a little mad.

"Snuffles." Ron voice lowed to almost a whisper. Hermione's facial expression completely changed.

"Yes, I'm a little worried...."Her voice to had become a whisper, but she wasn't able to finish because the door opened.

"Why, its Weasley and Granger!" Draco Malfoy sneered as he pressed up against the half open door. Hermione glared at him.

"What do u want Malfoy!?!" Ron said, putting down his essay.

Draco smiled "I want you to meet someone." He turned, and walked down the hall.

"Who his daddy?" Ron laughed, Hermione just looked at the door. When mafloy returned he had is arm around the waste of a girl.

"This is Angel" Malfoy said, his smile widening.

Beside him was a dirty blonde, hazelnut eyed, curious girl. She looked over at ron, and laughed.

"It looks like you found your robes under the train." The two laughed together.

"SHUT UP, malfoy! And that means your ugly girlfriend to!!" Hermione said, almost leaving her seat.

Ron looked over at her. He hated it when she stood up for him, like he couldn't do it himself.

"OOOOooo Ron! Your little girlfriend is trying to stand up for u!" Ron's ears when pink. He stood up. "SHES NOT my girlfriend!"

Malfoy nodded. "Yea, I should have known, Little miss KNOW IT ALL, wouldn't want to be a girlfriend to YOU, who would! You don't even have enough money to...." He and angel began to die of laughter and he couldn't finish his sentence.

Ron's face became bright red, yet his ear's redder. Hermione stood up to.

She looked at him, "don't let him get to you."

He shook his head, and before Hermione could stop him he was on the ground punching Malfoy as hard as he could. Hermione grabbed the back of his robe and tugged hard, but Ron wouldn't let go.

"RON!" Harry could be heard through the screaming and pounding.

Ron couldn't hear him. All he new was he wanted to just keep hitting Malfoy. Everything was like a blur to him. It was like moving in slow motion. Hermione kept pulling on his robe screaming at him. Angel was trying to get Malfoy up, and pull out her wand. Harry was trying to get Ron up and Ron just kept punching. He closed his eyes and just punched whatever was in front of him. When Hermione couldn't take it she pulled as hard as she could to get Ron off. In seconds Ron and Hermione flew to the back of the little sitting area, Ron landing on Hermione.

"GET OUT!" Harry screamed, and Malfoy got up slowly. His noise was bleeding and his eye was turning black and blue. When they left, Angel looked at Ron, like she was trying to memorize him for something, then left with the now timid Malfoy.

"GET OFF ME!" Hermione yelled, her voice muffled because Ron was on top of her.

Ron didn't notice for a couple of seconds. His head was spinning and he couldn't figure out what just happened. Harry helped him up and sat him down in one of the seats, then helped Hermione. Her head was bleeding slightly, and her arm was bruised.

Ron blinked, "Hermione - are you - OK?" He felt dizzy, and rubbed his head.

Hermione shook her head she too seemed dazed. It all happened so fast. Harry looked at both of them. Harry had put them next to each other, so he could sit across from them and figure out what had happened.

"I leave for one second!" he scolded, in a joking way.

Ron smiled, or tired to smile. "Hermione, are u sure your OK...your bleeding"

Ron looked at her neck, which had blood trailing down.

"Fine." she said weekly.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

Neither answered for a while, until Hermione finally spoke.

"We met Malfoy's girlfriend, her name is angel, yet she is the exact opposite!" Ron nodded. Then Hermione continued "The two joined forces in making fun of Ron...."

Ron hated how people said that, "making fun of". They weren't doing that...or maybe they were, but he wished they would phrase it better. That sounded like he was a little kid at the playground and someone called him carrot top or ginger. Harry nodded understandingly. If you knew Ron well enough, which he did, you could figure it out from there. Ron had gotten so mad he couldn't control himself...and so on. They sat there for the rest of the trip talking about anything else BUT Malfoy...and angel.
