Ron also started to notice that Hermoine was spending a lot less time with Harry than she had been doing, Hermoine put this down to having to 'study' a lot. Ron (being the inquisitive type) decided one day to follow Hermoine to the library to see what she was actually doing, his plan was that is Hermoine was actually studying then he would just make up that he needed some help on his defence against the dark arts homework. As Ron entered the library he heard what sounded distinctly like Malfoy's voice followed by a very high pitched flirtatious giggle.
'Bloody hell' thought Ron, 'tell me that's not Hermoine'. As Ron rounded the corner he saw Malfoy sitting across the table from Hermoine with her hands firmly between his.
' Hate to break up this little love fest, but Hermoine I was wondering if you could help me with my Defence against the Dark arts homework?' Drawled Ron. Hermoine and Draco sprang apart like startled rabbits,
'Of course Ron I would be glad to' replied Hermoine in a sugary voice 'Draco was just leaving.'
' Yes, bye Hermoine, bye Weasley'. Draco shot one long last lingering look at Hermoine before walking out of the library.
Ron turned on his heels and followed Draco out of the room, he checked that no-one was looking before grabbing Malfoy by his collar and ramming him against the wall,
' Now, listen here, Malfoy, Hermoine and Harry are very good friends of mine and if you don't stop your childish little plan to split them up, I will defiantly have to split your lip and that might not be all.' Ron loosened his grip on Draco's collar.
'oh Weasley I'm soooooooooooo scared,' retorted Draco before strolling off up the corridor chuckling quietly to himself. Ron turned slowly and walked back to Gryfindor.
