Chapter 24
Hermione's POV
Hermione and Ginny had just finished up there shopping spree for the Ball. They were heading for the Three Broomsticks for a quick drink before going back to the castle. They were walking slowly because of all the bags the had. Ginny was just telling Hermione what had happened at Ron's 5th Birthday. Hermione was laughing her head off. She was glad she was having a good time. She looked at the path ahead of them. She instantly stopped laughing.
She was rooted to the spot. Ginny looked at her strangely then looked ahead. Then she looked shocked. There was Viktor, pashing another girl. She was definitely a Hogwarts girl. He was groping her ass tightly. Hermione suddenly had a cold feeling inside. It wasn't jealousy, she was certain. Anger washed through her. she suddenly knew why. She had wasted all that time and feeling over him, and all for nothing. And because of him, she had lost Draco.
She dropped her bags and turned away quickly. Ginny was still recovering from shock. She quickened her pace. At least e didn't see her, to busy groping the girl's ass. She could confront him later. Somebody grabbed her arm. She thought it was Ginny.
"Ginny," she started to say and turned around to look at not Ginny but Draco. "Draco?" she said, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. She grabbed him and held him tightly. She pressed her face against his chest. He put his arms around her protectively. "I saw everything," he said to her. He held her even tighter. She kept muttering thing into his chest like, "Fucking git," or "Stupid man whore."
After a while, she said, "I'm so sorry." "I'm the one that's sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you." He kissed her forehead. "I know what will make you feel better."
She looked up at him. "What is that?" she said doubtfully. "You're coming to the Ball with me. No exceptions. And also to the New Year's Eve trip." She smiled weakly. He leaned forward to kiss her lightly. Someone coughed, "Hem, hem."
They both looked up to see Ginny, arms crossed and all the shopping bags at her feet. "I think you guys should save that for later," she said and walked forward, "Draco, can you get the bags please?" Draco grabbed the bags and muttered something like, "I always hated shopping." Herione laughed and Ginny smiled. Ginny and Hermione walked towards the carriages, followed closely by Draco, with armful of bags.
Draco's POV
When the carriages arrived back at the castle, all 3 of them got off. Hermione had insisted that Draco carry both her and Ginny's shopping bags all the way up to the Gryffindor portrait door. He had grumbled all the way up to the door. He handed Ginny her bags and they bade farewell.
Hermione and Draco walked together to their common room in silence, his arm over her shoulder. He felt he couldn't be happier. After warming up in front of the fireplace with hot chocolate and marshmallows, Draco said, " What are you going to say to him?" he knew she knew what he meant.
She was silent then replied, "Confront him I guess. But.. I don't want to do it by myself. Will you talk to him with me?" "of course, you know I'm here for you." She smiled and hugged him. She gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "Come on. You can do better than that." She laughed and pulled him closer and pressed her lips against his. Seeing that she was going a bit to slow for his liking, he kissed her back roughly.
His hands slowly made their way on her hips. Her hands snaked up around his neck. She pushed him on to the floor on his back, then fell on top of him. He still felt that they were going to slow, so he tried to go a little more rougher. She seemed to enjoy it. As he was trying to try and go a bit further, he heard the a loud knocking on the door.
The immediately let go of each other and she rolled off him. He sat up and ran a hand through his hair. She stood up and smoothed out her top. She walked to the door and opened it. As soon as she opened it, she had closed it. She turned to look at him in panic. "It's Ron and Harry!" she hissed, waving her arms, "Go hide."
Ron and Harry knocked even louder. "Open the door Hermione. Let me at that fucking slimy git. I already warned him!!" "Shit!" he muttered, "What do I do?" Louder knocking, "Hermione let us in!" "Hide!" she hissed at him. He nodded and ran up to his room and grabbed his Invisibility cloak while Hermione opened the door.
Harry and Ron burst in. "Umm.... Hi guys?" she said, trying to sound casual. "Where is he?" Ron said viciously and looked around crazily. Draco had already gone under the Cloak. He walked quietly to the top of the stairs. "Um... Why do want to find him?" she asked. "Lavender saw you guys kissing in Hogsmeade. That's why I want to have a little chat with him," said Ron.
Draco mentally slapped himself. Of course everyone could've seen them, they were in the middle of the friggin' path way! He took a step down the stairs. he didn't know he was standing on the hem of his Cloak. He tripped and flew forwards. He grabbed the railings. On his fall, the cloak fell off his head and shoulders.
Hermione saw him. So did Harry and Ron. Ron lurched forward but Hermione was to fast for him. She ran up the stairs, next to Draco. "Don't you dare Ronald Weasley!" she said and pointed at him, "Or I'll tell your mother exactly why you didn't get enough O.W.L's!" He stopped and gulped. Draco took the cloak off and made himself fully visible. He put his arm around her waist. Ron growled dangerously, while Harry looked at him curiously. Draco just had to smirk a little.
"What Brown said is true, Weasley, but," said Draco, "What are you going to do about it?" "How about ripping your head off?" he said unpleasantly. "I think not," said Draco. "Why not?" said Harry. "Because, Ron, Harry, you're going to have to deal with it. I like Draco and both of you aren't going to stuff this up for me!"
