Chapter Ten: Agree To Disagree

"Harry, Harry, wake up, it's time for breakfast," said Ginny while shaking Harry gently to wake him up.

"Oh, hey Gin, I'm up let me go get dressed wait for me okay?" asked Harry has he ran up to his room.

"Sure," Ginny yelled after him. She then sat down on the couch and waited. A few minutes later she heard footsteps coming down the stairs, thinking it was Harry she turned around.

"That was quick--," Said Ginny as she got up to greet Harry, but then realized it wasn't Harry, it was her brother, Ron.

"Oh, you must be waiting for Harry, sorry to get your hopes up, he'll be down eventually. He has to look perfect, but for him that's not a hard task," Ron said in a sarcastic voice has he left the common room briefly making eye contact with his sister Ginny.

Harry finally did come out and Ron was right, he looked perfect.

"Gin, what was Ron yelling about now?" asked Harry has he was rushing to put on his shoes.

"Oh, nothing really, you know how he is," Ginny answered as he walked over to Harry. Harry then got up from putting on his shoes and put his arm around Ginny and then they walked out of the room down to the Great Hall for breakfast. As they left the common room there was a unlikely visitor waiting but the door.

"Malfoy? What are you doing here?" asked Harry with a evil look with his hand in his pocket clutched around his wand, just in case. Even though he was going out with Hermione he still was Draco Malfoy.

"Well, it's Potter and Wesley's younger sister," said Draco in his cunning way. When Draco wasn't with Hermione he seemed to be putting on an act. He acted different. A way in which he knew Hermione wouldn't like.

"Her names Ginny," said Harry in a defense full manor towards Draco.

"Okay then. Well for your information I'm waiting for Hermione. I suppose she told you about her and I." said Draco as he walked past Harry with a gleam on his face. He loved the fact that him going out with Hermione was getting Harry so mad. But then again he knew that Hermione didn't like the tension between Harry and him.

"Gin, how about you go tell Hermione Draco's out here waiting to escort her to breakfast." Said Harry. He needed time alone with Draco. He knew that him and Draco had to learn to at least respect each other. For Hermione's sake. The only thing was to get Draco to go along with it. Little did Harry know, Draco had the same thought in mind.

"Sure Harry I'll be back in a minute," Ginny said as she gave Harry a quick hug and Draco a quick evil eye then walked into the common room.

"Yeah, I know about you and Hermione. She told me. I'm warning you Malfoy if you hurt her, I'll hurt you." said Harry in a angry voice. He was Hermione best friend and he wasn't going to let her get hurt.

"I'm not going to hurt her Potter, I like Hermione. Although I'm not too found for her choice of friends," Draco said as he looked Harry up and down. "Although I am willing to deal with it, I don't want there to be problems with Hermione's friends. Agree to Disagree Harry?" asked Draco. Harry knew that Malfoy did indeed care for Hermione and he wasn't going to let him get in the way of their relationship.

"Okay then, Mal-- Draco." said Harry, about to call him Malfoy but the stopped himself and called him Draco. Then the two shook hands just has Ginny and Hermione emerged from the common room.

"And just what's going on out here? I can't believe my eyes, is Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter shaking hands!?!" asked Hermione in a sarcastic voice as she embraced Draco.

"Wow, never in a million years did I think I'd see the day," said Ginny in a joking manor as she grabbed for Harry's hand. The two couples then walked down to the Great Hall. As Draco and Hermione entered the Great Hall all heads turned to see them.
