Chapter Eleven: All Eyes on Us

"I guess Ron told," said Hermione as she leaned in towards Draco. She said goodbye to Draco and agreed to meet outside for lunch. As Hermione walked toward the Gryffindor table and Draco towards the Slytherin table everyone's heads followed. Hermione then sat down by Ron, Ginny and Harry like she did everyday for the past six years. Although Ron got up and moved down the table next to Lavender as he had did the other day.

"Is Ron ever going to forgive me?!?!" asked Hermione in a aggravated voice. She was getting so sick of Ron's immaturity.

"You know how stubborn Ron is," said Ginny while gazing at Ron. She knows that Ron's not only stubborn but stupid. He doesn't know how to move on with life and see life in a bigger picture, nor will he ever.

"Right, but still, we're friends, friends should understand and trust decisions." said Hermione. She was begging to sound like Draco.

"By the way what's with him and Lavender? I thought he hated her?" asked Hermione. Harry looked up, he was obviously hiding something that Hermione didn't know.

"Harry? What do you know?" asked Hermione. She knew Harry knew something about Ron and she was determined to find out what it was.

"Nothing, I know absolutely nothing," said Harry as he turned away trying to escape the glare of Hermione.

"Harry Potter don't lie to me, what do you know." asked Hermione with a determined look to find out just what Harry was hiding.

"Ginny, want to go up to the common room with me? I'll help you study for your Potions test." said Harry trying to get out of this awkward situation with Hermione.

"Okay then. Bye Herm." said Ginny quickly as Harry pulled her out of the Great Hall.

Hermione was then left alone at the table by herself. She looked down at her food in a hurry to finish eating then she could go to the library and study. But then a voice interrupted her thought.

"Is this seat taken," asked a deep voice that sounded oddly familiar. The Great Hall had all of a sudden gotten really quiet just what was going on, Hermione looked up to see who had asked if the seat was taken and it was, Draco.

"No, it's not," Said Hermione with everyone's eyes on her.

"May I sit here?" asked Draco in a innocent voice.

"Certainly." said Hermione suddenly not being in such a rush to get to the library. Draco then sat down next to Hermione and began to make conversation. The Great Hall was still silent.

"Wow this is annoying," whispered Draco to Hermione as he stood up with everyone's eyes still on him. "What is everyone looking at?" said Draco in a loud voice for the whole hall to hear. Every one then quickly turned their eyes away and began to go about there own business. "Finally!" said Draco to Hermione with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, I don't get what the big deal is, why does everyone have to stare." asked Hermione in a joking manor. "Well sorry Draco but I should be getting to class. I'll meat for lunch in the garden." she quickly kissed Draco on the cheek and then left the Great Hall.

Hermione did not pay attention in any of her morning classes. She had Draco on her mind. He's been on her mind a lot lately, was this the begging of, love? Her grades had been dropping dramatically. She didn't have much time to study anymore. All of her free time was now spent with Draco. Also Ron was still angry with her. Did she make the right choice to be Draco's girlfriend? Should her friends feelings had come first? Harry agreed to disagree with Draco why couldn't Ron? Why do things have to be so difficult? She didn't want to loose one of her best friends because of guy. Ron had been close with her since they were in their first year at Hogwarts as for Draco he taunted her ever since the first year at Hogwarts. But now it seems like he's changed. So many things ran through her mind. Finally it was lunch. Hermione rushed to the garden, Draco wasn't there yet. Good this gave her some time to think. "Should I tell him?" Hermione said to herself.

"Tell me what?" asked Draco coming out of no where.

"Oh, nothing." said Hermione in a flirty way.

"Whatever you say Herm. So how's things with Weasly? Is he still not talking to you?" asked Draco, actually caring about how Hermione's relationship with her friend had been. "So him and Lavender Brown huh? You should have saw them in the Library earlier today."

"WHAT!?! So that's what it is! I thought something was up between him and Lavender and Harry knew but he wouldn't tell me." said Hermione while a smirk went across her face.

"Maybe Ron won't be so angry with me now that Lavender was in the picture. He had another girl on his mind now." Hermione thought to herself. "Thanks for telling me--" Hermione began to say to Draco but before she could get the rest out Draco leaned in and kissed her, there first real kiss. It was magic.
