A/N- Okay I think that this chapter sucks , but read it anyway. I tried to fix it best I could so it's better than it was.Thanks for all your reviews I've never gotten so many before and they make me want to write more , so keep them up. I've noticed a couple of people saying that Draco is OOC , that's because he's meant to be because I can't imagine cannon Draco doing this stuff , so I made him OOC.

House Elf Relations Chapter 7

Taking in her shocked expression Colin said. " It's pretty strange isn't it. I thought you two hated each other."

"We don't hate each other , but we don't like each other this much either." Hermione

explained. " Colin , have you made copies of this or showed it to anyone else ?"

" No I thought that you would want to see first." Colin answered fidgeting with his camera slightly.

" Good. Do you mind if I keep this ?"

" No , it's a picture of you afterall." Colin said cheerfully.

" Great , could you do me a big favour , Colin ? Could you burn the negatives and never mention this to anyone else , especially Draco ?" Hermione asked pleadingly.

" Err , sure , I guess." Colin answered a little unsure.

" Thanks Colin. Now if you'll excuse me , I have to go and see Ginny." Hermione said while placing the photo gently in her bag.

" Okay , bye."

" Bye." Hermione said , brushing past him on the way to Gryffindor tower.

Upon entering the common room Hermione spotted Harry and Ron playing chess in a corner and decided to go and share the good news about S.P.E.W with them.

Looking up at her Ron said in a sickly sweet voice , " Hello Hermie." knowing it would piss her off.

" Ron , how many times have I told you not to call me that." Hermione said exasperated with her friends teasing.

" About a hundred. Hi Hermione." Harry chimed in. " We haven't seen you for awhile , what's up ?"

" Alot actually , we've come up with some great new ideas for S.P.E.W." Hermione said excitedly.

" Don't you have anything to talk about other than that silly spew." Ron interuppted rudely.

" It's pronounced S.P.E.W and how dare you call it silly Ronald Weasley." Hermione yelled more than a little upset.

" He's sorry , really he is , now what ideas. Did you say we ? Who's we ?" Harry asked trying to keep the peace and failing miserably of course.

" Well me and.....me and Draco." Hermione hesitantly admitted.

" Draco ! As in Draco Malfoy , are you out of your mind. You're shagging him aren't you !" Ron accused , while standing up sending the chess board flying. " That's why he was here last night wasn't it ! Bet you were having a good old time with Malfoy , while we were all stuck outside , dying of boredom. I can't believe you'd be dumb enough to fall for his act."

While Harry stood speechless , Hermione was getting angry. " FOR THE LAST TIME , I AM NOT SHAGGING DRACO BLOODY MALFOY !" She screamed at him , causing several people to stare at her as though she was a crazy person. "We're just friends." She added a little more calmly.

" A likely excuse , I thought you would have learnt your lesson after the whole Krum incident , but here you go again fraternizing with the enemy." Ron ranted , while pacing about making wild gestures with his hands.

" Ron , I think your taking this a little bit to seriously , she said they we're just friends , you really shouldn't jump to conclusions like that." Harry said , finally regaining the power of speech.

" Well , maybe , sorry Hermione...What's this then ?" Ron asked as spotted a corner of a photograph sticking out of Hermione's bag. Hermione's eyes widend as he made a grab for it and pulled it out of her bag. As he turned it over his face flushed ,as he shook in rage.

"Proof , try and deny it after this." Ron yelled , his face going a deep red to match his hair.

" Ron , what is it ?" Harry asked , concerned.

Ron wordlessly handed the photo to Harry who looked at it and gasped. Showing the picture to Hermione he asked. " Is this for real ?"

In the picture they were still kissing but now Hermione had her legs wrapped around Draco's waist and his hands were up her shirt.

Hermione blushed and stared , to shocked to do anything.

" See , she can't even deny it." Ron yelled.

" It's just a picture , I can't control what happens in it , that never happened." Hermione denied.

" Yeah right , Draco Malfoy's gotten into nearly every girls pants in our year , I thought you were different. But I was wrong , you're just another one of that slimy git's sluts." Ron yelled at her , getting up into her face.

" I'm not a slut , but you are an asshole. I thought I was one of your best friends , obviously not , because friends trust each other. I'm telling the truth when I say that I haven't had sex with or even kissed Draco Malfoy." Hermione said calmly , her eyes pleading with Ron to believe her.

" That's not what the picture says." Ron said unconvinced.

" We weren't kissing when the picture was taken , you can ask Colin if you don't believe me." Hermione explained.

"I don't have time for your lies , you've done this before , I should have known you'd do it again. You can shove this friendship and your stupid spew as well." Ron yelled and stormed his way over to the portrait. " Come on Harry." He called to Harry , who was standing off to the side with a pained expression on his face.

" Harry." Hermione pleaded , tears forming in her eyes.

" Sorry , but he's got a point , besides I can't work with Malfoy , so I guess I'll see you around." Harry said with a grim look on his face , then he turned and followed Ron out.

"Bastards." Hermione spat , wiping her eyes. If they didn't want to be friends with her that was fine , she had Ginny and Lavender and....Draco. She didn't need Ron and Harry.

That night at dinner Harry and Ron completely ignored her , so she sat with Ginny.

"Sorry about him." Ginny apologized for about the 12th time since she'd heard about the fight.

" I told you already , it's not your fault that your brother's a total prat." Hermione said getting a little annoyed. " If they want to forget all the times I've helped them , the times I practically saved their lives , over a bloody picture , then that's their problem."

"I still wish I could see that picture." Ginny said sulkily.

" You wouldn't want to , I mean it's practically pornography." Hermione said not noticing Draco standing behind her , holding his plate of food.

" Where's this pornography and why haven't I seen it ?" Draco asked as he put down his plate and took a seat next to Hermione. As he sat down he noticed Harry and Ron sending him death glares down the length of the table.

"What's the matter with those two ?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

" The ditched Hermione because Ron decided she was having sex with you." Ginny said before Hermione had a chance to properly explain things.

" Well that's just stupid , what kind of friends ditch someone over their sex life. Besides we're not even having sex yet." Draco said cheekily.

" Not having sex yet ? Hermione is there something your not telling me." Ginny asked turning her attention to Hermione , who was looking mortified.

" No , there's nothing , we haven't. Draco stop putting ideas in her head." Hermione demanded , glaring at him.

" Sorry. Hey Gin , it's a good thing he doesn't know about our little fling , he'd probably try to disown you or something." Draco said lightly.

" Well, he won't find out about it , unless you open your big mouth , like you just did." Ginny snapped at him.

Looking a little hurt Draco grabbed up his plate and made to leave the table. " Fine, , I'll go. I know when I'm not wanted."

Feeling a little guitly Hermione grabbed his forearm. " Sit down Draco. Ginny play nice."

So Draco sat down and Ginny played nice and they had a rather pleasant dinner together.

A/N- Okay the end sucked I know , but I couldn't think of any other way to end this chapter. Next chapter will be out whenever I get the chance to post it. I'm really glad so many people like this and I'm amazed by the number of reviews it's gotten , because I don't think it's that great , but that could be because I'm very self critical and think that a retarded monkey could write a better story than me. Hey Sex Angel I'm glad that I've found another Tom/Emma shipper , I'm thinking of writing a fic about them when I finish this one and posting it at adultfanfiction.net , so let me know if your interested. If you've bothered to read this far into the Authors Notes , congratulations , now please review.
