Date With Someone New
Author's Notes: Thank you so much for all of your reviews! Did anyone watch "What A Girl Wants"? If you did, isn't Ian (Oliver James) cute!?!? LoL. Okay, on to the story…
Chapter Eight – And I Want You To Know
Hermione was in the Common Room when she decided to write a letter to her parents. She took out a parchment out of her bag and a bottle of ink. She dipped her quill in the inkbottle and started writing.
Dear Mum and Dad,
How are the both of you? I miss you. It's been a month since we last saw each other, but it seemed like forever. Anyway, how's Cole? I hope he's fine. I have something to tell you, and I do hope you understand. You see…I met this guy here in Hogwarts and I really like him. And he likes me back. We learned that we loved each other and you know? I have a problem though, how will he tell his father? His father hates Muggle-borns and it will destroy their family name if he tells his father.
Other than that, I'm worried that Cole is getting worried and confused that where my school is. If you have any idea that you're going to tell him, don't. I'm the one who's supposed to tell him where my school is, what my school is and what I am. It's really hard if I tell him, because he might freak out, or even worse…it'll destroy the friendship we have. What am I supposed to do? I hope you'll find a solution to this problem of mine. I am a big girl already; I can take care of myself so you don't have to worry about me.
I think I won't be home in the Christmas Holidays. Tell Cole Merry Christmas for me on Christmas.
Love you daughter,
Hermione
Hermione saw Porky sitting by the window. She stood up and walked towards her.
"Time for a little letter delivering, Porky"
Porky stuck out her leg and Hermione tied the letter around her leg.
"Bring it to Mum and Dad"
Porky hooted and flew out of the window
"Hermione?"
Hermione turned around and saw Harry and Ron at the doorway.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly
"We want to talk to you…"
"About what?"
"Malfoy" Ron said
"Draco…" she corrected them
"See! You're obsessing over him! You and him don't mix! You're in Gryffindor and he's in Slytherin! You don't mix with him!"
"And you're telling me what to do and who to love!?"
"No! I'm just telling you that-…"
"Well it sounds like it! You're not my father and don't tell me what to do! I can love anyone and hate anyone with my own freewill!" she yelled
"But he'll dump you before you even knew it!"
"He's not like that!"
"And now you're defending him! What's wrong with you!? You weren't like this before!"
"Before I met Draco!"
"You used to hate him and don't you even recall all those times when he called you a mudblood!? He's not a charming Slytherin! He's a stupid, pureblood Slytherin scum!"
"You can't tell me what to do! You don't control my life so I suggest you just stay out of my damn life!! If you don't like me loving Draco, then fine! Coz it's none of your business anyway! If you can't stand us being together, just kill me if you have to!" she screamed
"Hermione…"
"Don't Hermione me Ronald Weasley! If you don't like him, you can just hate me too!"
"Why would I do that!? You're my best friend! You, me and Harry have been best friends since we were in our 1st year!! We can't just break it!! We made a vow remember!? And we even made this friendship necklace! That we will be friends forever until we graduate!!"
"Oh you can just forget about it!!" Hermione said, taking the necklace off and threw it at Ron.
"And what's that!?" Ron asked pointing to the necklace Draco had given her
"It's a necklace! Draco gave it to me!!"
"Oh, and now you're wearing the necklace he gave to you! What about that ring I gave to you on your birthday!?"
"It didn't fit in any of my fingers! You're lucky I brought it with me, otherwise it would be lying around in my house with full of dust!"
Hermione left the Common Room with a slam.
"Ron…"
"Fine! Who needs her anyway!"
There was an awkward pause when Ron sat down and buried his head in his hands.
"Who am I kidding! We need her!! It doesn't feel the same without her!!"
"Well, did you think that yelling at her will make her stay with us?"
"No…" Ron sighed, "I'm so stupid!! Stupid! Stupid!"
"You're not stupid, you just didn't know what you were doing"
Ron stared at the necklace Hermione threw at him.
"We're getting her back…we didn't make the pact to argue. We made it coz we're friends"
Hermione ran down the hallways, crying. She turned to a corner and bumped into somebody.
"Sorry…" she muttered, keeping her head down
"Hermione?"
She looked up and saw Draco, "Oh Draco" she ran to him and hugged him
"What's wrong? Were you crying?"
Hermione sniffled, "Yeah"
"What happened?"
"I got into an argument with Ron. He told me that you and I don't mix because you were in Slytherin and I'm in Gryffindor. Then the yelling started and I threw the friendship necklace I had at him" Hermione cried
"Ssh…it's okay. Everything's over now" Draco said, hugging Hermione
"Draco…"
"Yeah?"
"There's something I have to tell you"
"What is it? Is it something bad?"
"Not really. But it's something I've been keeping for so long and you're the only one who'll know"
"Okay…"
Hermione's going to tell him! Aah! What will his reaction be!? REVIEW!!
