Chapter Ten
Hermione wiped away her angry tears as she stormed off to Gryffindor Tower. 'What an asshole! I can't believe that arrogant son of a bitch! Why did I agree to this in the first place! I was so stupid!' Hermione thought angrily as she turned a corner. Hermione, not paying attention, slammed right into Ron and they both fell to the ground with Ron on top of Hermione.
"Sorry, 'Mione!" Ron said rolling off her and standing up. "I was just looking for you!" he said.
"You were?" she asked quizzically. "What's up?" she asked. Hermione noticed Ron turned a little red when she asked.
"Well, well. you know the Halloween Ball is soon and all and um. I was, well you see. I was just. you don't have to if you don't want and." he stammered.
"Ron, are you trying to ask me to the ball?" Hermione asked, the earlier anger in her eyes shining in amusement.
"Well. yah." Ron said, turning redder.
"Gee, Ron, I dunno." Hermione started and then remembered the scene with Malfoy. "Actually, you know what? Why not! Sure, I'll go to the ball with you, Ron." Hermione said smiling. Ron smiled back and they walked back to the tower with her.
Draco's POV
I felt bad about what I said to Hermione, so I went off in search of her. I was about to turn the corner when I heard her talking to Weasley. Curious, I listened in. I heard Weasley mutter something I couldn't hear and then I heard Hermione speaking. I could hear her, for sure. I waited until they had walked off. Then I started fuming. HERMIONE IS GOING TO THE BALL WITH THE WEASEL? That made me really mad. How dare she? WE were supposed to be going together! What about the scheme? What about my brilliant plan? She just screwed it up! Well, I suppose she was angry from before. Then it hit me. Was she trying to make me mad? Nah, Granger wouldn't do that. or would she? Well, two can play at that game. I thought and smiled smugly to myself as I walked across the Slytherin common room to another 6th year girl who was standing in a corner.
Hermione smiled to herself as she sat on her bed. 'I got rid of Draco, and Ron taking me to the ball might get Harry a little angry.' she said as she grabbed Hogwarts: A History so she could read it for the fifth time that month.
In the Boy's Dormitories.
Harry and Ron were both in their room, talking. They were updating each other about what had been happening lately, and just anything else that came to mind. They hadn't had a man-to-man talk in a while so they were grateful they could talk alone.
"So I suppose your going to the ball with Cho, huh?" Ron asked as he was hanging another poster of the Cannons on the wall. It had a big picture of a Quidditch Pitch with the team members flying on broomsticks.
"Yeah. What about you, Ron? Have you asked anyone yet?" Harry said looking up at him from his book.
"Actually, I have." He said smiling. He sat down on his bed.
"Well, who did you ask?" Harry asked him.
"I asked 'Mione to go with me." He said, smiling. Harry looked over at him in shock. He asked HERMIONE? How could he? 'I'd just like to. wait. why am I being so crazy all of a sudden? Hermione isn't my girlfriend. Cho is. I should get a grip.' Harry thought and the anger in his eyes disappeared.
"Oh. so you're going with Hermione? What does Malfoy have to say about that?" Harry asked. Ron smirked {a/n: uncharacteristic, I know.}.
"I don't really give a damn what Malfoy thinks. I just can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out I asked her. What's with her going with Malfoy anyway? I think he's only going out with her because of her looks. I mean, you have to admit Harry, she is a whole lot prettier this year." Ron stated. Harry blushed slightly at the comment. He knew Ron was right. Hermione was pretty. She was also smart, and fun and cool and. whoa. bad road. He thought and simply nodded. He sighed and stood, heading for the door.
"Where you going, Harry?" Ron asked.
"Just going to take a walk. I have to clear my head." he said.
"Well, see you later then, mate." Ron said as Harry walked out and shut the door behind him.
Hermione looked over at the clock on her nightstand. It was 4:30. 'I've still got an hour before dinner. maybe I'll go take a walk or something.' Hermione thought standing and walking downstairs into the common room. She headed out the portrait and out the front doors of the school. Hermione smiled as she felt and smelled the brisk autumn air. She looked around and saw Harry walking along the grounds. She headed over toward him.
Harry's POV
I jumped when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I looked behind me and standing in front of me was the girl that was plaguing my thoughts: Hermione. I like Cho, so why am I even confused over this matter? Things just aren't going well these days. I tried to move Hermione and my relationship to the next step, but it didn't work out. well. I guess that was because of Cho. but still it wouldn't have worked anyway. right? END POV
Hermione's POV
I walked up to Harry from behind and tapped him on the shoulder. I supposed he was a bit surprised because he jumped. I started walking with him. We weren't really talking about anything in particular. he seemed to be deep in thought. After trying to converse him a few times, I just gave up and walked back inside. It was time for dinner anyway. I hope Harry figures out whatever is bothering him. I wonder what was bothering him. Even if he's not my boyfriend. yet. he is still my best friend. Hopefully, he'll tell me. Otherwise, I guess I'll just never know. END POV
Hermione walked into the Great Hall and immediately headed toward the Gryffindor Table to sit down. She took a seat next to Ron and casually looked over at the Slytherin Table. Hermione almost dropped the fork she had in her hand at the sight she saw. Draco Malfoy was sitting there with his arm around.Millicent? 'What is he doing? What about our scheme?' Hermione thought angrily. 'I can't believe him!' she thought. 'Wait. why am I acting. JEALOUS? Ahhh. no! I am SO NOT JEALOUS! I'm just. angry that he went back on his word! That's it! He's such an asshole. I'll have to talk to him later.' Hermione made eye contact with him and glared. Before he had a chance to do anything, she turned back to her food and tried to engage in conversation with Ron.
Draco's POV
Is Hermione really jealous? She just glared at me. ouch. I can't stand Millicent, but anything to make Granger mad. I love getting her so worked up. She's so hot when she's. wait. no. Granger is NOT hot. I bet she's wondering about that bet. well. in due time. for now though. I'll just thoroughly enjoy pissing her off. I smirked to myself and turned back to my food.
