They entered Snape's room and sat down to wait for him to arrive. Ron was still bugging Hermione about it. Without using Harry's name as he was sitting right there. When Snape walked in."10 points from Gryffindor Weasley.You and Ms. Granger shouldn't be talking about how you're going out in class. Save that for your personal lifes." Harry looked at them. His mouth dropped open in shock. Ron tried silently to tell him it wasn't true but Harry didn't get the picture. He turned away and pretended to listen to Snape talk. Harry sat there watching Snape criticize the Gryffindor's potions. He felt incredibly hurt. Ron and Hermione were his best friends. They hadn't told him they were going out. He knew Hermione was still going out with Malfoy he had seen them together. This meant Hermione was cheating them both.Snape dismissed the class. Harry's stuff was already gathered so he rushed out of the class. Ron and Hermione tried to catch up with him but he went to fast. Hermione looked incredibly sad. Meanwhile Malfoy was still sitting in the empty Potions classroom.He looked shocked.Snape grinned,an evil grin."Well Mr.Malfoy next time you'll know better to fall for a filthy mudblood."

"Shut up."Malfoy quietly.

"Excuse me?How dare you talk to me like that?I would take points away but since ur in my own house so I won't."

"You should be more like Proffesor McGonagal she doesn't favor anyone."With that Malfoy stood up and walked to the door.He stopped and turned around."I know she isn't dating Weasley.It was just one of ur nasty tricks"then he left. All day Harry did a very good job of ignoring Hermione,and Ron.At dinner time he walked over to Malfoy."I need to talk to you."

"Um OK whatever."Malfoy got up and followed Harry.

"Malfoy I know you and Hermione have been dating.Your not exactly my best friend but I want to tell you that I think shes cheating on you with Ron."

"No shes not.It was one of Snape's stupid jokes.He was trying to break us up,but it didn't work.I already told Hermione I belived her."

Harry looked at him."Why are you being so nice?Aren't you gonna tease me bout having no parents?Or somethin like that?"

"No"

"Ok your working for Voldemort aren't you?"

"No,but if you want me to tease you ok.I think youve gone phycotic.Good- bye."

Harry thought for a moment.Malfoy belived them.Why shouldn't he?He walked over to the Gryffindor table.He sat down next to Ron and said"Hi"

Neither of them replied.Harry had a feeling that they were very mad at him

"Look guys I'm sorry.I just talked to Malfoy and he said he belived you.If he does then I do."

Hermione looked shocked."Why'd you talk to Malfoy?"

"Hermione Ron,and I know your going out with him."

Hermione looked furious and walked away.
