Chapter Twelve
When Ginny reached the girl's dorms she walked up an extra flight of stairs to the Head Girl's room and knocked softly on the door.
"Come in." she heard from inside the room. She slowly opened the door and walked inside.
"I heard the news." Hermione said nonchalantly, looking up from her History of Magic textbook only for a moment.
"You heard about what news?" Ginny asked nervously.
"About you and Draco.I think it's great." She replied with a warm smile.
"You're not angry that he's breaking up with you?" Ginny asked incredulously.
Hermione froze. "What?!" she yelled. "We had a deal!" she raged.
"We did?" Ginny asked nervously.
"No, not you. Draco and I. I was repaying him for saving my life.by being his GIRLFRIEND!" Hermione yelled without thinking.
"What?" a shocked Ginny asked. "Shouldn't you be happy then?" she asked, trying to calm her friend down.
"At the beginning of the year the answer would have been yes, but now." she stopped now, realizing the severity of the situation and began to cry.
"Are you angry.with me?" Ginny asked worriedly.
"No.I should have know with it being Malfoy." Hermione said trying to sound normal. Her tears were slowing.
As Ginny walked out of the room, Hermione glared deviously at her back. She would NOT get away with stealing HER boyfriend. 'What the hell gave her the idea that she could take my boyfriend?' Hermione thought in rage, roughly raking a comb through her silky hair.
She caked on her makeup, as if to hide any little flaw with her complexion that she may or may not have, curled her eyelashes, and applied a coat of dark red lipstick. She then chose her ensemble. A black fishnet shirt over a red bra, a black wool mini skirt and black high heeled boots. She had bought this outfit for any trips to Hogsmeade, where there was a dance club. But now she had a better way to use it.

There was a knock on the door. Draco opened it slowly, not expecting any visitors. He gulped at the sight before him. He had never seen Hermione dress like this before. He especially noticed the way her bra could be seen, due to the holes her shirt seemed to be made of. Hermione kissed his passionately before this could all sink into his head.
"Er.what's going on?" Draco asked, struck aback by her actions.
"You don't like it?" Hermione asked, twirling around to display her outfit, then moved closer to him. She licked her finger seductively and then rubbed it near his mouth to remove the red lipstick that had smudged onto him.
Draco studied her awkwardly. It was strange; he would normally have loved this. A hot girl dressed in almost nothing, practically forcing herself onto him. But, now it felt wrong. She looked trashy, ruined. He had single- handedly ruined this girl's reputation.
As she was about to kiss him again he stopped her. She looked hurt and confused. Draco took her hand in his and slowly slipped the ring off her finger.
The ring was far too powerful for Hermione. All of a sudden, as if hit by a train, Hermione realized she was scantly clad in Draco's room. Blushing, she quickly retired to her own quarters. Draco tossed the ring into the fire and watched it melt. He had lost one of his "loves".
Ginny had a slight resistance to the ring, it seemed. And her personality stayed basically the same. Perhaps he would let her wear the ring a bit longer. At least until the Ministry of Magic was done interviewing for jobs.

It struck her like a bolt of lightning. This was for the best. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned at what trash she had become. Her perfect grades had slipped. She never hung out with her friends anymore. It wasn't even what she had wanted in the first place. She had been drawn into this relationship as payback, not by love. It had to end.
She couldn't resent Ginny for falling for Draco. He was charming, sexy, and even at times sweet. She yearned for him with every fiber of her being at times. Now, she just hoped the two of them would not return to being mortal enemies.
She pulled out her picture of him. Just as she was about to throw it in the fire and watch it burn she stopped. She would keep it for the memories. Draco, actually wasn't the worst guy in the world. He had stopped her from possibly making the biggest mistake in her life, just by resisting her. And for that she was eternally grateful. It had to end. And it had.

Ginny smiled softly as the word spread about Hermione and Draco's break-up, and how she and him were the new "it" couple.
Suddenly a pair of hands came up behind her and wrapped around her waist. She turned her gaze to her blonde-haired, blue eyed boy, wondering how she had ever gotten this lucky.
"I told you it would all work out." He whispered into her neck. Ginny smiled and took his hand as they walked to the library together.
