A/N…another mistake I found when rereading the last chapter…I said that he put the December birthstone in the necklace only b/c I was gonna make it December but decided on February! The next chapter will be really really good…so wait for it but this one is kind of transitional… Oh yea, sorry you had to wait so long…I went on a short 2 day vacation so I couldn't write…for all you roller coaster fanatics…I rode the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point! IT WAS WICKED!lol…onto the story

Disclaimer…they are mine…all mine! MWAHAHAHAHA…no, not really, but I wish Draco was, hehe

The newfound lovers laid in bed for most of the day and took breakfast lunch and dinner in their rooms. They talked about their lives, dreams, ambitions, fantasies and just enjoyed being in the company of each other.

"Ron, you really have to get over this. If she was being truthful, like we know she was, then nothing happened."

"I know Harry, its just that I don't like the idea that she was sleeping with Malfoy, just the fact that his flesh was that close to hers makes mine crawl."

"Ron, you have to learn to get over it. Go get a rose from Professor Sprout's garden and go talk to her. I haven't seen her in two days, so she must be really upset." Oh how naïve could you be Harry?

"Yeah, that's what I'll do, and bloody hell, I'll get her a dozen roses." He grinned and ran out of the tower and to the greenhouse where Professor Sprout had a few muggle plants. He picked 12 roses and then ran in the direction of Hermione's room. He knew the password so he just went in and went to her room. She wasn't there.

"Hermione?" He called toward the bathroom door that was slightly ajar.

The Head Girl heard him calling and sat up in bed. "Oh God Draco, it's Ron." She whispered.

"How the hell did he get in here?" He drawled.

"He knows my password!" She said, a bit too loudly. Ron heard her voice coming from Draco's room and walked toward it, opening the door cautiously. He hadn't been prepared for what he saw, Hermione and Draco, naked in bed together.

"BLOODY HELL!" He screamed and ran toward Draco and grabbed him by the throat. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER YOU GIT!?" He screamed at him, Draco turned blue as his skin was already as pale as it would go.

"Ron! RON! Get off him!" Hermione screamed. Draco flailed his arms around and tried to pry Ron's hands away from his throat.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Hermione yelled as soon as she had gained her wand. Ron's body went as stiff as a board and his eyes blinked madly.

"Now, will you listen to me?" She had covered herself in one of the white robes and stood above Ron. He couldn't answer but he could hear her.

"Yes, what you saw when you walked in was exactly what you thought it to be. I did sleep with Draco last night, and you know full and well what happened. Ron, we love each other. We can't help it, but we do." She knelt beside him. "Now, if I take this spell off of you, do you promise to listen and not throw a bloody cow? Blink once if yes, twice if no. And remember, I have my wand and I can just keep you in this position if you go mad again."

Ron blank once time and held his eyes wide open, Hermione nodded and said the spell that let him move again. "Now, sit!" She commanded, pointing toward the bed. Ron did as he was told and she sat beside him.

"You told me you loved me," He whispered.

"Ron, love isn't real unless its mutual. I love you like a brother, I told you that. But Draco is my lover, and there's not much you can do about it. I'm sorry." She looked down at her hands that were wringing in her lap.

"No, I'm sorry Mione, I came to school this year wanting to marry you, I should have known better." He looked at the floor. She hugged him and a sound of disgust came from Draco, now wearing the comforter around his waist and leaning against the wall. Hermione turned and glared daggers at him.

"Ron, I love you, remember that, but I love Draco too. You just have to learn to deal with that."

He got up from the bed and Hermione grabbed her wand as he walked toward Draco, the blonde braced himself against the wall. Ron walked over to him and stuck out his hand, Draco shook it reluctantly.

"You're a lucky man." He said simply and then turned to the roses that he had left lying on the floor and scooped them up. Instead of giving them to Hermione he gave them to Draco, "Give them to the prettiest girl you know." He said and walked out of the room. Hermione gaped after him.

Draco watched him walk out of the room in awe. Then he took the roses over to Hermione and kissed her gently, "You're the prettiest girl I know."

She had closed her eyes during the kiss but that hadn't kept her mind from spinning. Why had Ron reacted that way? He had seemed so calm. This wasn't right. Therefore she had to go to the only person who would listen to her and not give her the same "It's going to be alright." speeches. She had to see Dumbledore.

"I need to get my head straightened out Draco." She said, standing up and walking out of the room. She changed into her robes and left the room without another word. Draco didn't follow her, she would be fine.

Hermione found Dumbledore exiting his office, he smiled at her as she approached. "Ah, Miss Granger, what can I do for you?"

"Well Professor, I was wondering if you could help me, I'm in a bit of a situation."

"And what situation would that be?"

"Well, you see, my friend says that he's falling in love with me, but I'm falling in love with someone else. And R…this friend saw this other person and I kissing. I just don't know what to do any more."

"Well Miss Granger, I'm not much for teenage love problems, for I have not had one for…many years." He smiled. "But, I think that you should just follow your heart, talk to Mister Weasly about how you feel about Draco. If he is your true friend, he will understand." He winked and walked off down the hall. Hermione turned around and began to walk and then stopped in her tracks, how had he known it was Ron and Draco? That man had powers of his own.
