A few days after the first kiss, Ron and Hermione had started sneaking around the school, meeting so no one knew they were together. Hermione felt bad for cheating on Harry, but the fact that they had a forbidden love made it so much fun. Ron would take Harry's cloak and the couple would go up to the Astronomy tower every night. This one particular night, however, was a bit different.
"Shhhh!" Hermione giggled as Ron lead her up to the tower under the cloak.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry." The couple reached the tower and Ron pulled off the cloak.
"Yummy," Ron said kissing Hermione.
"MmHmm..."
"Wait, what was that?" Ron paused and looked down at the castle grounds. A figure with luminescent blonde hair was below them.
"What the fuck... Malfoy?" Hermione said, looking down. Malfoy looked up at them and realized whom they were. He stopped dead in his tracks for a moment, and then reached for what Ron thought was his wand. But Malfoy pulled out a camera, and quickly flashed a picture before running inside.
"What the fuck did he do that for?" Hermione said to Ron.
"I don't know..."
"Why would he want a picture of-"
"Harry! He's going to show Harry!"
"But we weren't doing anything!"
"But Harry will wonder what we were doing up here, Mia." Ron said, causing Hermione to blush at the sound of her nickname, one that only Ron called her.
"We will have to lie to him."
"Obviously, but what will we tell him?"
"We can say that we caught Malfoy up to no good again."
"Sounds good."
Ron kissed Hermione again, and wondered what Malfoy thought they were doing up there. If he knew they were going out he would tell Harry in a flash. Fuck, I should have said no before... Now I have an obligation to him, one that I can't really proceed with considering I am kissing his target...
Draco went around the corner of the castle, making it look like he went inside. Perfect, a few pictures and I have some grade-A quality blackmail on my hands. He carefully turned the corner and took another picture, this time of Ron and Hermione making out. Many clicks of the camera later, Draco went inside for real.
It was a week after the tower incident and there were no repercussions, yet. Harry would be back in a few days and Ron needed a plan of action. He was still wondering what Malfoy had planned with that picture, because it was a quiet week – too quiet. Both Ron and Hermione knew they would have to face Harry sometime, and when that day came they had to be ready, whether Malfoy used the photos against them or not.
On this certain day, Hermione was studying in the library, waiting for Ron to meet her there. They were going to formulate a plan, a very precise and devious plan, to lead Harry on for as long as possible with the idea that nothing had happened during his absence.
"Mia, hi. Sorry I'm late."
"S'all right,"
"What are we going to do?"
"Well, I guess I have to pretend like nothing happened, and hope he isn't too happy to see me. If I have to lead to full relationships at the same time I will snap."
"Well I'm going to have to steer clear of you. Not more than usual but enough that I don't have the temptation to kiss you..." Ron smiled slyly. Hermione rolled her eyes, her cheeks pinking slightly.
"Isn't Hagrid back this week?"
"I believe he is."
"Maybe he can help us."
"I don't know..."
"You never know, he might be a great help."
"We could try, I guess."
"When does he get back?"
"I thought I heard him say something about the day after Harry gets back. If we can con Harry for a day then we can ask Hagrid."
"Sounds good, but-"Hermione was cut short when Malfoy suddenly sat down beside them.
"Would you look at that, the weasel and the mudblood, sitting together."
"What do you want Malfoy?" Ron said in an I-don't-like-you-go-away tone.
"Oh, not much... just wanted to show you some pictures I took."
"We saw you, and the picture you took isn't anything-" Hermione said, getting cut off by Ron.
"Wait, did you say pictures? With an 's'?"
"Why, I think I did." Malfoy said, grinning evilly.
"How many did you take??" Hermione said, getting nervous.
"Oh, about 15 or so."
"FIFTEEN?!?" Ron yelled at Malfoy.
"Yeah, some nice tongue-on-tongue action you two got goin on there..."
"I WILL FUCKING-"
"Ron, stop!" Hermione grabbed Ron before he lunged at Malfoy.
"Yeah, Ron, cool it." Ron gave Malfoy a look of pure hatred; mimicking the one Hermione gave him many times before.
"Besides, I don't know what to do with these, I just hope they don't fall into a certain Golden Boy's hands..." as Malfoy said this Ron tried to lunge at him but Hermione restrained him again.
"God, mudblood – put your dog on a leash." Malfoy got up and left.
"I am going to fucking kill him!!!" Ron said through his teeth.
"Calm down. We need to make sure those pictures don't get anywhere near Harry."
"What pictures?" Ron and Hermione both turned around. Ron swore and Hermione feigned a shriek of delight.
"Harry!"
