A/N: Sorry this chapter took sooooooooooooooo long. First I was looking for some inspiration. I found it, by me experiencing it. Then I was piled with homework and I still am. Damned teachers, they think we have no lives. Then I also have lots of "drama" going on at school! Anyways, thanks again for all the reviews. And thanks to my sexy beta-reader, who has also been having drama, Sinsly! Oh yes, one more thing! This chapter will be going back and forth based on point of views! ^_^ Enjoy!

Chappie 6- Tearful Denial

Hermione had curled up into her bed and was crying her eyes out. She had closed her curtains and put a Silencing Charm, so no one would hear her. She started to get a headache, so she stopped wailing and went to take a hot shower. She was filled with mixed emotions, not knowing what to do. She was so frustrated. Life was good before Draco, everything was fine. No drama in her life, nothing. Exactly, she has nothing before Draco.

But then he came along, and made her feel things she never knew existed. Emotions she never imagined. She thought about how he used to tell her flirtatious things, how he used to touch her, whisper in her ear, hold her. She felt on top of the world when he did those things and cared for her. She wanted, she needed to be touched and caressed, by now. She wanted words of passion right now. She wanted everything. Everything Draco could offer. Around Draco, she felt special, wanted. Someone cared about her. Someone liked her. At least she thought so.

But then again, Draco didn't really want her...he wanted her body. Not her. But she wanted him so badly, more than ever! Right when she falls in love, the relationship plunders. Draco might not give a damn about her anymore. She got too serious, too demanding. Draco must already have another girl under his spell. Anger began to pound in Hermione's head. She let the hot water wash it all away. All her misery, all her pain, everything. She got out the shower and quickly pulled on some dark clothing. She was in a depressed mood and felt like showing it. She walked down into the common room and saw Ron sitting there.

"Hey Hermione." he said smiling a bit too much.

Hermione forced out a tiny smile, "Hi. Uh, where's Harry?"

Ron shrugged, "Out with Claudia somewhere."

"Oh." Hermione was thankful that Claudia distracted Harry, he was getting suspicious.

"Were you heading out somewhere?" asked Ron, wanting to go with her.

She frowned a bit. She wanted to be alone right now. "Umm...I think I'll head back up to my dorm. Wake me up when its time for dinner." Ron nodded, a bit sad, but wanted to please her none the less.

Hermione turned to walk up the stairway, when Ron spoke up. "Hermione, you've been acting odd lately. You go out without telling us and come back really late. And then now you're all grumpy. Harry thinks so too. What's wrong Hermione? You can tell me."

Hermione just stared at him. 'Dammit! He's getting suspicious too! Who'd think Ron had a bit of intelligence? But there won't be any outings with Draco from now on. So no need to worry.'

"Nothing is wrong." Ron watched her leave, not believing a word she said.

She walked up the stairs, hugging her sides thinking 'Everything is wrong. Everything.'

________

Draco sat in class tapping his quill lightly on the desk. He was paying no attention what so ever to Professor Binns. He glanced at Pansy who was telling off Crabbe.

'Damn her to hell. That bitch. She messed up everything for me. Now she thinks I'll come running into her arms. Think again Parkinson. Oh yeah, that's right. You don't think do you?'

Draco furrowed his brows. What had gotten into him? Usually, when he'd cheat on a girl the process would be simple. They'd dump him, he'd go off with someone else, and he felt no pity. He was known for breaking hearts. But Hermione, she was different. She had caught him under her innocent love spell, without neither of them noticing.

She simply played hard to get. He admired that in a girl, especially Hermione. She didn't throw herself at him like Pansy did. She stuck to her morals. He wondered where she was right now. He wanted her slim body in his arms. He wanted his lips on hers. He just wanted her with him by his side. Hermione might be smart, but she was also stubborn. But she'd probably never come back. Hermione had ignored him all day. Seemed like she even ditched some classes so she wouldn't have to face him. He probably had lost her forever.

________

Hermione walked into Transfigurations. She had missed all her classes with Slytherins on purpose. Only to avoid the one person she wanted. McGonagall had found out about her ditching and had gotten pretty angry with her. They had Transfigurations with the Slytherins, and like always, all the Gryffindors hated that fact. Harry and Ron sat near the front. They scooted over for Hermione, but Hermione rejected their offer. She turned around and walked to the back of the class, way in the corner. Harry and Ron watched her with surprised looks on their faces. She just smiled reassuringly.

The rest of the Slytherins and Gryfinndors began to file in one by one. A couple of girls went to go sit next to Hermione, but she just gave them death glares, and they walked away quickly. Hermione scanned the class. Draco wasn't around. She did miss him, but she wasn't going to let her brain accept that.

'Denial is not just a river in Egypt after all.' she though smiling a bit.

Hermione took out her quill and began to copy down the notes, when the door slammed open. McGonagall spun around to see Draco Malfoy standing there. "Nice of you to join us Mr. Malfoy. Your 10 minutes late. 10 points from Slytherin. Take a seat."

Draco looked around. The class was packed and mostly everyone was looking at him in fear or giving him evil glares. He spotted one seat finally, and it was next to the person who seemed to not notice him. He walked towards Hermione and sat down. She didn't even look up! Her hair was down, covering her face. Draco frowned. McGonagall continued to write on the blackboard as everyone copied it. Draco took out his quill and played with it. He glanced at Hermione.

"Hermione." he whispered. She didn't move or even glance his way. "Hermione." he continued. She still acted as if his presence was invisible. Draco began to get angry. If she didn't want to talk, then why should he? He began to scribble the notes onto his parchment furiously.

________

Hermione felt her heart began to pound when Draco said her name. It took all her strength to not look up or answer. Last week, if he would have sat next to her in class, she would have died of happiness. But now, she wished he would just go away and stop playing with her heart and sanity. She had stopped taking notes and was just staring down at her parchment. Draco fidgeted in his seat and his leg brushed against hers.

Hermione stiffened and felt heat rush through her body. She just wanted to turn around and make him hold her, smother him in kisses, devour him! But that was not possible. She would not give in. All the memories of all the moments she shared with Draco flashed through her head. She felt tears brimming up in her eyes. She sniffed and rubbed her eyes.

________

Draco had purposely grazed his leg against hers. She had gone still and moved slightly farther away. Draco tried to look at her face, but she had put a curtain over it using her hair. Then he heard her sniffle.

'What? Is she crying? Oh my god, what the hell is wrong with her?' thought Draco.

Draco couldn't take this invisible wall Hermione had put up between them. In one quick motion he tucked her hair behind her ear. Hermione looked up, her eyes a bit wide, but filled with anger. She was about to turn back towards her parchment, but Draco grabbed her wrist. She didn't struggle to let go, she just stared at Draco. Draco leaned in and whispered.

"We can't continue ignoring each other like this! Talk to me!"

He backed away to see the expression on Hermione's face. Her eyes were welled up in tears of sadness. She pulled her wrist away, stuffed her belongings in her bag, and stood up.

"Professor, I don't feel so well. May I leave?" Hermione's voice was shaky. McGonagall took one look at her and nodded. Harry and Ron were looking at her wondering what was wrong. Then they glanced at Draco and gave him evil glares. Pansy smiled as Hermione ran out the classroom. She looked of at Draco and blew him a kiss. Draco grimaced and flicked her off.

Through all of this, Jade was watching. At that moment she hated Pansy. Pansy had ruined a happy relationship, and she had helped her do it. Jade glanced at Draco. He had a look of loneliness on his face. Jade felt a shot of pity and guilt run through her veins. She never felt emotions for other people's problems, but she started this problem. And she would end it.
