Chapter 19
Draco shook to attention and pushed Cho off of him, "Hermione, this isn't what it looks like, I swear, she.."
Hermione took a breath and moved forward, "No worries Malfoy," Draco cringed at the way she addressed him, "I didn't mean to intrude," she walked past Draco towards Cho and extended a hand, "Good to see you again, it's been a long time."
Cho looked from her to Draco, then back to Hermione and smiled, "Too long Herm, how have you been," the two girls shook hands and then Cho took Hermione into a hug, "So, how is everyone, Harry? Ron?"
Hermione kept her fake smile on her face, "Well, Ron and Luna are getting married next year, probably summer time, and Harry and Ginny are expecting."
"Oh! That's wonderful! Tell them I said congratulations," Cho then moved over to Draco, "We were just catching up," she grabbed Draco's arm, "we have missed each other terribly."
Draco pulled his arm out of Cho's grasp, "Cho was just leaving, what you walked in on..."
But Hermione raised her hand to him but did not look at him, "No need to explain Malfoy, it was my fault to intrude," she was looking at Cho, "It was good to see you Cho, take care," she started towards the door.
"Herm-"
"Yes, Hermione, it was good seeing you as well. Tell everyone I said hello," and she grasped back on to Draco's arm.
Hermione kept her back to them, "Yes I will, take care," and she disappeared around the corner.
Draco turned to Cho, "You need to leave right now."
Cho smiled and went in to kiss him but he pushed her away, "Draco, come on, you love me and I love you, I-"
He cut her off, "I haven't loved you since I found you in our bed with Davies. My love for you died along with our engagement. Now get the hell out of my sight!" he glared at her.
She was still smiling, "Very well Draco, I enjoyed our little visit," and she turned and walked out. ------
Hermione slammed her office door behind her. Her anger was now turning into hurt and she could literally feel her heart breaking. It hurt to breath. Her eyes were burning and tears were streaming down her face. She collapsed to the floor and was crying hysterically, "I hate him," she choked out.
------
He was standing in front of her door. He hadn't knocked, he couldn't. He leaned forward and rested his head against it. He could hear her crying. His heart wrenched to hear it. Tears formed in his eyes. Cho had him under a spell. He could feel the spark on his lips when she kissed him, Love Potion gloss. Luckily she only used a small amount. Any stronger and they may be wrestling around naked on his classroom floor. Why did Hermione have to walk in at that moment? Why was she back from the Weasley's. Had she come back because of him? Of course, and it was all screwed up now. She wouldn't believe him in a million years. She called him Malfoy. That hurt the most of anything. He took a deep breath and headed back to the dungeons.
------
The castle was starting to fill back up with the sounds of students, chattering about their Christmas breaks. Hermione avoided breakfast that morning. Since Christmas Eve, she had only left her classroom to visit Hagrid, cautiously avoiding anywhere Draco would be. She made her way to the Great Hall for Christmas dinner, but did not pay any attention to Draco's presence.
"Hermione, please, let me explain about Cho."
"Poppy, will you please pass the salt."
"Herm, please, it wasn't my fault."
"Minerva, pass those crumpets please."
She was proud of herself that night. She didn't look at him at all. Well, there was one moment when she quickly glanced up at him. She felt the tears form and diverted her eyes.
"Okay class, remember to have that essay to me by Thursday. Class dismissed."
Hermione looked up to see a student walking up to her desk, "Yes Miss Finnegan?"
"Professor, how was your Chrismas?" asked the girl.
"Just fine Miss Finnegan, and yours?" asked Hermione with little to no interest.
The girl beamed, "Oh great!! I saw my brother, Seamus, you remember Seamus? He just returned from the States. I told him you were my teacher now. He was very interested."
Hermione smiled, "Well, you tell Seamus hello for me. I haven't seen him in a long time."
The girl nodded, "Yes, since the end of the war. But he asked me to ask you something."
Hermione shuffled her papers around, trying her best to look interested, "What is that Miss Finnegan?"
The girl giggled a bit, "Well, first if you are seeing anyone and second it he could owl you sometime."
Hermione looked up, and she blushed a bit, "Well, I don't-," she stopped. What was she doing? Seamus was interested. He was always a cute guy in her eyes. But nothing ever really happened. Well there was that one night in 6th year when they both had too much butterbeer celebrating Gryffindor winning the House Cup and a few of them ended up playing spin the bottle. He was an awkward kisser but, it had been a few years, maybe he had some experience. The she thought of Draco and Cho, she looked at her student, "No I am not seeing anyone. And he is more than welcome to owl me."

I am so evil...hehe. 20 coming very soon. Promise.
