A/N: Thanks again for the reviews. By the way, I need to know if there's someone still interested. If there were anything you'd like me to change or add, do it in the reviews. I'm open for suggestions. If you're asking why I did what I did last chapter? All I can say is Hermione is not the type who'll fall in love just like that. She has to understand that she cannot choose the person to whom she'll fall in love with. Besides, I don't want to end it yet. I'm having so much fun playing with them.

Chapter36: Mistakes
Ron wanted to look for Hermione to find out what really happened. He searched for her everywhere in the castle, from the library to Hagrid's hut but he couldn't find her. Finally Ron went to the kitchen to go ask Dobby. Dobby knows a lot about the castle and he might know where Hermione was hiding.
When he reached the kitchen he was welcomed by most of the house elf. They seem to have forgotten what happened in their younger years. Dobby was glad to help Ron since he was Harry's best friend. Ron found out that Hermione was hiding out in the astronomy tower all by herself.
Ron didn't know what to expect of her. He never saw her in a situation like this. Harry was very much enraged. He wasn't prepared for that. Yes, he may have been pigheaded when they were younger but he never really actually seen Harry that mad at a friend. He hoped that Hermione wasn't in the same mood. He wanted to be able to talk with her as calmly as possible.
When he reached the tower, he saw that the door was ajar. He didn't really mind it since no one in his or her right mind would come up here anyway. 'Except distressed females.' He entered the room carefully eyeing everything that moved. When he didn't see any movement that might belong to a 6th year female he sighed and started for the door. Before he reached the door he made a double take, it was Dobby who told him that she was here. He looked carefully around the room. Then, he heard a small sob coming from the balcony. Somehow he knew who that person was. He carefully walked to the balcony thinking of things to say to her.
"Who's there?" Hermione had heard footsteps coming closer. She quickly dried her eyes and got her wand.
Ron moved from the shadows and faced her.
When Hermione saw who the intruder was, she lost control. Tears kept streaming down her face.
Ron has never seen her in such pain. He came to her and hugged her. "It's alright. I'm here now." He tried his best to soothe her.
Hermione cleared her eyes and looked up at him. "Does this mean you're not mad at me?"
"Why would I get mad at you?"
"Because Harry is."
"My best friend and so are you or have you forgotten already?"
Hermione smiled at him not knowing what to say.
"Hermione, I don't know what happened but I think that you two can work this one out. Maybe if explained it to him he'd understand."
"The problem is he wouldn't let me explain."
"Tell me then and I will explain to him. Tell me what really happened. All I know is that Malfoy said he kissed you."
There was an awkward silence that came to them before she answered. "It's true."
Ron nodded his head having a hard time accepting the fact that Malfoy was telling the truth. "When did this happen?"
"It was a long time ago." She was partly saying the truth.
Ron could see through her lies though. "How long?"
She looked him in his eyes and didn't want to lie anymore. "Just recently. But it's not what it sounds."
"Then tell me about it." Ron was being patient with her. He didn't want to inflict any more pain in her. He admitted that he didn't want to see her in this state. 'Damn that Malfoy! Why can't he just leave us alone?'
"He and I have kissed a couple of times before but there was no feeling to it."
"This recent kiss, was it any different?"
"I've asked myself why did I kiss him or allow him to kiss me." She couldn't seem to continue. She felt ashamed; dirty even, when she remembered liking it.
Ron waited for her answer. "Go on."
"There was something in him that just destroyed my barriers. Maybe it's his experience." When Ron made a face full of disgust she continued, "Anyway, I realized it now that I don't really like him. I just pitied him that time when he confirmed his mother's death. I thought that I could comfort him and one thing led to another. Mind you Dumbledore asked me to be with him and I followed. I know it seems wrong and that I don't make sense but please try to understand."
"Let me get this straight, you're most recent kiss with him is because you pitied him and you wouldn't even be involved in him if it wasn't for Dumbledore? Did I get it right?"
"You make it sound so simple."
"I'm sorry but it is hard for me to believe that someone can kiss someone s/he hates."
Hermione could see Ron's face start getting red. "You don't understand. Malfoy has changed or so I thought. We had decent conversations especially on my advance class in potions. Don't forget we are partners in Snape's class."
"So since you had decent conversations with the prat, you didn't see anything wrong in kissing him?" Ron was trying his best not to shout at her. He didn't want to be biased but he just hates the prat. Harry's side was getting more and more attractive. 'Shut up already! You're supposed to be here to try to get them back together.'
"He was sort of seducing me. You know the reputation that been going around about him and his girls?"
Ron nodded not knowing what's the relevance of it.
"Let's just say I found out that the reputation wasn't a fake."
Ron's eyes widened as the meaning became clear.
"I don't know if you'd understand what I'm going to tell you but here it goes." She took a deep breath. "The kisses we shared were nothing. It was just curiosity nothing more."
Ron raised an eyebrow questioningly.
"That small peck Harry and I had back in Hogsmeade proved it. I felt a lot more from a slight kiss from Harry than those I've shared with Malfoy. Malfoy is really good at kissing, talented even but that's just where my interest in it lies. I feel nothing for him at all. Harry on the other hand is something special."
"Then why did you tell him that all you could offer was friendship?"
"That brings me back to Dumbledore. He wants me to befriend Malfoy and that's the only way Malfoy would agree to be my friend. How could anyone think that I would chose Malfoy over Harry or you for that matter?"
Ron gave a weak smile feeling guilty. "What about you and Harry now?"
"If he'd forgive me and still want me then."
"You sure?"
"I mean there's nothing holding me back now. There's no way Dumbledore can make me befriend that stupid JERK!"
Ron almost laughed. 'That's the old Hermione back.' He was pleased. "Don't worry Herm, I'll do what I can. I promise."
Hermione hugged him tightly. "Thank you Ron, you don't know what this means to me. I'd even let you call me 'Herm' if you get Harry to forgive me."
"Ok then, prepare yourself and start answering to Herm 'cause I'll be using it often. You've deprived me long enough."
This time Hermione let out a small laugh. "Just make sure that you'll be the only one that would be calling me by that name."
"Of course, I earned it. It would be something just for you and me." He winked at her. "Come on, we still have extra classes. Sirius would be alright but I doubt McGonagall would be too pleased." He led her out of the room as they headed for their respective rooms.
~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as the two left the tower, someone came out of the shadows. Draco was hiding inside the room for a long time watching Hermione sob. He had been following her wherever she went. He wanted to make sure that he was there when she needed someone. What caught him in surprise was the fact that Weasley wasn't mad at her. Instead he came looking for her to comfort her. 'I read them wrong. Weasley ruined it for me.' He went to the balcony as he replayed the scene that had happened earlier.
'.I just pitied him'
'.How could anyone think that I would chose Malfoy over Harry or you for that matter?'
'.I feel nothing for him at all.'
'.The kisses we shared were nothing. It was just curiosity nothing more'
'.I feel nothing for him at all.'
'.I felt a lot more from a slight kiss from Harry than those I've shared with Malfoy.'
'.Nothing holding me back now'
'.No way Dumbledore can make me befriend that stupid JERK'
'.I feel nothing for him at all.'
The words kept on repeating in his mind. 'She just pitied me. Everything that happened was because Dumbledore asked her.' He could feel his heart being torn every time he remembered her words.
'She likes Potter. I don't want to see her like that.' He looked far away as he remembered her eyes. Every time she was angry her eyes glittered dangerously, when she was having fun with her friends her eyes glittered sweetly. But he liked her eyes glitter when she was out of control. Right now, her eyes didn't glitter instead they were misty and red. Its as if her fire died. He wanted badly to let them burn as before. 'Even if it means that she'd be with someone else and hate me for the rest of her life.'
Draco was just starting to understand how to love. He was starting to realize that it doesn't matter anymore how he felt. All that mattered now was she.
~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Hermione was in a good mood because she now knows that Ron was still right behind her. She went straight to the Great Hall. She was hoping to avoid any awkward conversation with Harry. She'd wait for Ron to explain to him everything that she said last night. She was practically humming when she entered the Great Hall. She sat between Lavender and Parvati.
"Hey girl, you look cheerful today." Parvati greeted her.
"I have reason to be." She said as she grabbed some bread into her plate.
"Can you tell us then cause I don't seem to understand?" She nodded her head towards a couple obviously enjoying their meal.
Hermione looked over. She felt all her blood drained her face of color. Harry was with Ginny. His right arm was draped on her shoulder as they laugh together at something amusing to them.
"Hermione are you alright?" Parvati glared at Lavender for telling her tactlessly.
"Uh, I lost my appetite. I'll go finish some things first." She stood up quickly not waiting for any response. She felt her eyes swelling with tears once again. She headed towards the door in a sort of run, trying to get away from everything.
~~~~~~~~~~
Draco was watching the Gryffindor table. To his surprise he saw Potter with Weasley's sister eating very closely. Remember the keyword here is 'very'. Just then he saw Hermione walking cheerfully towards the table. He felt his body tense at what might happen. Before he could come towards her to try to rescue her from the scene, Lavender motioned her towards the couple. He watched as Hermione's face became pale. He stood up abruptly as she rushed towards the door.
He broke into a run trying to reach her side as soon as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~
Ron was annoyed since Harry didn't wait up for him. It also seemed like most of his fellow 6th years had gone to the Great Hall as well. He rushed to the Great Hall all the while fuming at being left behind. "I never left them before. But when I get late for a little while they leave me behind. He ripped open the door letting all of his anger out. He got shocked when a girl that looked like Hermione came rushing past him. He made a double look, 'Hey that was Hermione.' Before he could move, another figure passed him. 'Was that Malfoy? What's going on?'
He didn't think about following them because he didn't know what happened. He went over their table to try and find out. He walked towards Neville and the others who were closest to the door. "What happened here?"
The guys looked at each other as if trying to avoid his question.
"Did that Malfoy do anything to upset Hermione?" His face was getting redder by the second.
Neville was the one who answered him, "It wasn't his fault."
"Then why'd they leave like that? Don't tell me nothing happened because I know something did happen."
"Hey man, we didn't do anything either." Dean clarified.
"Then what the hell happened?" Ron's face was now the same shade as his hair.
"Hermione sat with Lavender and Parvati. They motioned her towards Harry and um, your sister." Dean wanted to rid of Ron as soon as possible.
Ron looked over them and he saw his sister flirting openly with Harry. He walked up towards them. He tapped Harry on his shoulder, "Mate, we got to talk."
Harry looked up at him, "What for?"
"About you being a bloody bastard!"
Harry eyed him and saw that his friend was enraged at something. He followed him outside the hall.
"What were you doing with my sister?"
"Oh, I thought you'd be alright with it."
"That's not the point. What about Hermione?"
"What about her? I'm just her friend!"
"Let's just hope she still treats you as one."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"She saw you man. She wasn't blind, same goes with the rest of the people inside that!" He pointed towards the hall. "Look man, I think you're making the biggest mistake of your life."
"I already made that mistake. I allowed myself to be allured by Hermione Granger!"
"Take my advice and just stay away from my sister. You two just need time to recover." He paused before continuing, "And what happened to 'not doing anything that you'd regret later'?"
~~~~~~~~~~
"Hermione wait up!" Draco went after her.
"Leave me alone! I need to be alone!"
Draco ran faster and was able to block her. "I know what you saw was painful."
"You have no right to tell me this. Let me go now!" She couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"I've hurt you, I know and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have."
"How could he do this to me?" She didn't care anymore to whom she was talking to. All that mattered was to release her pain.
"In a manner of speaking, he technically didn't do anything to you."
"You didn't see them, they were."
"I was there." He said reassuringly.
"Then why are you taking his side? I thought you wanted me to hate him. This is your chance." She went closer to him. Her heart was pounding as she drew her face up to him and kissed him lightly on his cheeks.
Draco closed his eyes to try to mark the sensation he was feeling with just a peck. He could feel her lips dropping small kisses on his face. He tried to enjoy them at the same time fight the urge to kiss her properly.
He lost his control when her hand started caressing his face. He captured her lips with his as his hands drew her even closer. 'This is how it should be.' Both of them were ensnared by the sensation each of them was giving each other.
".What happened to 'not doing anything that you'd regret later?"
They didn't hear two people coming closer. Draco couldn't get enough her sweetness. Hermione on the other hand was drowning all her pain to the ecstasy she was feeling with the kiss.
Ron kept on staring at what he believed was his best friend who was kissing Malfoy. By this time people were coming out and saw the two locked in an embrace shamelessly kissing each other.
"Now I know how she moans. Thank you Malfoy!" Harry said sarcastically as he turned to leave.
Draco broke the kiss as he looked around. Hermione was blushing deeply at all the people that gathered but especially to the words Harry said. Her eyes burst into tears again. She looked at Ron showing all the pain she was feeling and fled.
Ron eyed him dangerously. He could feel all his anger towards him erupt. He was about to lunge at him but was stopped when Dumbledore appeared.
"I think that you should all come back to your classes now." He looked from Draco to Ron before the crowd dispersed.
