Authors Note: Well this chapter took a while to come out! I wrote most of
this chapter, then deleted it all and started again! I know what I want to
happen in this story but sometimes it just doesn't come out! I also had to
go to a new job, which was a total disaster! Needless to say I will be
spending the rest of my summer holiday (only three weeks left) writing

The Fight
Hermione was completely dazed. Malfoy, of all people was the one telling her how to sort things out. Malfoy, of all people had been the first to kiss her. It was enough to leave a girl shocked for life. Not Hermione, the Malfoy situation had made her realise that it was important to find the antidote.
Hermione shook the last feelings of confusion off, and continued to the common room. She quickly collected Ron's chess set, and raced back outside, realising that if she was any longer then they would start to worry about her.
"Ha, take that Hermione," said Ron triumphantly, "I told you I would beat you."
"The game's not over yet Ron," said Hermione trying to hold her dignity.
"Well you know he's going to beat you," said Harry, in a matter of fact tone.
"That doesn't mean a girl can't try," said Hermione, but her heart wasn't really in the game. She was wracking her brain trying to work out how she could sort all this mess out. She had thought that Ginny would be able to help her, but Ginny was never around. Hermione decided that she had only thought Ginny could help because she needed someone, not because Ginny would be able to conjure a solution. "Still it would be nice to have someone to talk to about this mess," thought Hermione. Then she decided that there was nothing else for it; she would just have to face McGonagall.
She waited until Ron had beaten all her chess pieces to a pulp, and then excused herself.
"But Hermione, it's the beginning of the weekend, surely you can take some time off?" asked Ron, desperate to get her to stay.
"No Ron, I really have to get this done," said Hermione tonelessly, "besides you know if you put things off they generally don't get done. I'll see you later."
"What am I going to say to her?" wondered Hermione as she walked back through the castle, "hi Professor, I was just coming here coz I have every guy in the school falling at my feet. Hmmm I think not." Hermione's stream of consciousness was interrupted by a loud shout.
"How could you do that to me you pig?" screamed a girls voice from a doorway on the right.
Hermione took out her wand, just in case and approached the door. Inside there was a girl with bright red hair, beating her fists against a boy's chest. She was sobbing uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry Ginny," said the boy, not even batting an eyelid at her futile attempts to harm him.
"NO YOU ARE NOT!" yelled Ginny, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME DEAN! HOW COULD YOU? SHE'S NOT EVEN PRETTY FOR GODS SAKE!"
Ginny showed no signs of relenting, so Hermione decided it was best to step in to try and calm her down.
"What's going on in here?" asked Hermione, pretending she hadn't heard the conversation and that she was just doing the good prefect thing.
"OH LOOK, HERE COMES YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO SAVE YOU," bellowed Ginny, and she stopped beating Dean up and ran over to Hermione, "HAPPY NOW ARE YOU?"
"What are you talking about Gin?" said Hermione completely confused by now.
"YOU BITCH! YOU CANT EVEN ADMIT IT," and with that Ginny slapped Hermione hard on the cheek and ran out, sobbing all the way.
Hermione was stunned, she couldn't say anything for a moment, she just stood there holding her cheek, which was burning red.
"What was that all about?" stuttered Hermione.
"I broke up with her," said Dean, running a hand through his hair.
"OK but why did she hit me?" asked Hermione, but her brain was already doing the calculations. Dean went red. "Please tell me I'm wrong," said Hermione.
"Sorry Hermione, I didn't think she'd be like that with you," said Dean, blushing even harder.
"What did you actually say to her?" demanded Hermione.
"Just that, I couldn't be with her coz I was, err," Dean blushed even more and mumbled the rest of the sentence. Hermione shot him a dirty look and he decided it was best to keep on her good side. "I told her I was in love with someone else," he said finally.
"With me?" accused Hermione.
"Yes. Hermione I love you, I was wondering if you would like to be my girlfriend?" said Dean hopefully.
Hermione could have screamed, she took a deep breath and counted to ten. "No Dean, I'm sorry I don't feel like that about you."
"What? But I just broke up with Ginny for you!"
"It's not like I asked you to!"
"Thanks a lot Hermione," and with that Dean stormed out.
Hermione was dumbfounded. "Why is this happening to me?" she thought, "why me? What did I do so wrong?" She made her way hurriedly to McGonagall's office.
