"Draco?...I-I'm sorry...I thought-" Hermione stammered as she stared up at Draco.
"Yeah...well, now I'll have to scrub myself with hot water and disinfectant to get rid of your Mudblood stink!" Draco growled at her.
Professor Sprout looked at one to the other. Her face still shocked from the encounter.
"Ummm....Miss Granger?...is this true? You harassed Mr. Malfoy?" she said slowly, trying to take this all in.
"NO!! I mean...I thought...sigh...oh, I'm sorry Professor I-I'm going up to my common room." Hermione had tears flowing from her face. She was really upset at the fact that Draco would say such things again when he said he wouldn't.
"Her-Granger!!" Draco yelled at her but she was already climbing the steps into the oak doors and out of site.
Professor Sprout and Draco looked at each other. Draco felt his cheeks turn hot and quickly walked off in the other direction. Professor Sprout staring at his back as he went.
(Gryffindor Common Room)
"Ginny!? Ginny where are-sniff you!?" Hermione called wiping tears from her cheeks as she ran into the common room and up to the girl's dorms.
Ginny was sitting on her bed with her homework books spread across the sheets. Her face grew worried and confused as Hermione ran towards her and hugged her.
"Her-Hermione? Whatever is the matter?" Ginny said confused as Hermione wept into her shoulder.
"D-Draco...sniff...he HATES me!!...he called me a Mudblood again when he sniff said to me he wouldn't-"
"Hang on, hang on. What brought that up? I thought you two were inseparable?"
Hermione leaned out of Ginny's embrace and straightened herself.
"You didn't tell sniff H-Harry did you?" Hermione said, he face all wet and red.
"N-NO!! Of course not!...I thought you trusted me?" Ginny lied as she looked into her best friends eyes trying not to look away.
"Thanks Gin...I knew I could count on you."
"So? What happened?" Ginny said making the subject change.
"Ok...oh, it's too embarrassing!"
"Oh, come on Herm! Just say it!" Ginny urged.
"Well...Draco came to me and we went into the Dark Forrest for some privacy...well. I thought it was a good time to express my feelings to him...and Professor Sprout caught us."
Hermione looked up at her friend. Ginny had a shocked even deathly look on her face. But then-
"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! SHE CAUGHT YOU TRYING TO SUDUCE MALFOY!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
"STOP LAUGHING!!!!! I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST YOU!!!"
"OH WAIT TIL HARRY HEARS THIS!!!.....ooops." Ginny looked scared.
"What?...you-you TOLD HARRY OF MY LOVE LIFE WITH DRACO!!!???" Hermione stood up and slowly stepping back from her friend.
"Herm-"
"Shut up!"
"I'm sorry-"
"SHUT UP!!!"
Hermione turned and sprinted for the door not wanting to look back at Ginny who had tears running down her cheeks.
"Herm?" came a familiar voice from in the common room.
"Ron?" she quickly turned away from him, not wanting to show her emotions that were clearly shown on her face.
"Are you Ok?" Ron asked concerned.
"Yeah...I'm fine. So when did you get back?" she asked not turning around.
"Errr...just now."
"Oh."
"Yeah." Ron said slowly.
They didn't talk to eachother for a while, only staring around them until...
"Ron? when did you get back?...oh, Hermione."
Ginny had made her way down stairs.
"Excuse me Ron." Hermione said still not looking up at him and walked past out of the portraite hole.
"What's with her?"
"Oh, n-nothing...she's just tired."
"Then why didn't she go to bed?"
"Ron! just drop it OK!" Ginny said rather irritated by Ron's question. She walked past him and out of the portraite hole.
"Ok." Ron said to himself feeling rather left out.
(The Great Hall)
"Hey Gin. What's wrong?" Harry said concerned at the look on Ginny's face as she sat down opposite him.
"Oh, it's all my fault!" Ginny sighed and placed her hands to her face.
"What's all your fault? What's this all about?"
"Harry...it's you!"
"Me?" Harry was taken aback from this.
"What about me?...what did I do?"
Ginny looked up at him. His innocent eyes staring back into hers.
"Oh, Harry...Hermione knows that I told you about her secret."
"So?...oh."
"Yeah, and I kinda let it slip...I was laughing to much that I forgot where my line of thought went."
"Gin?"
"Yeah?"
"It really isn't your fault...Hermione gave you this burden."
"But I'm her best friend!"
"So am I! she should have felt comfortable enough to tell us."
"But you hate Malfoy?"
"Yeah...but I wouldn't hurt him because of my friendship I have with Hermione." Harry said giving Ginny a genuine smile.
"Yeah...I guess you're right."
Ginny put her hand on Harry's. It felt reassuring that she wasn't alone.
"So...how did that conversation come about? and how did you slip? Laughing?"
"Oh....well. Hermione met Draco in the grounds, they went into a more private place and Hermione thought it was the best time to show her true feelings towards him. Well...it was all going peachy until Professor Sprout caught them."
"She caught them!"
"SHHHHHH!!!!!" Ginny warned Harry as the other house tables turned silent.
"Oh poor Herm!"
"Yeah, and the worst part for her is that Malfoy told her off to cover up his tracks."
"THAT BASTARD!!!"
"SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Oh, sorry."
"So, I kinda laughed at the catching out thing and my head was somewhere else and I kinda busted you."
"Yeah..well...I guess in a girly way it would be funny."
"Oh shut it!"
"Have you heard that Ron is back?" Ginny asked pouring herself some Pumpkin Juice.
"No...when did he get back?"
"Oh, 20 minutes ago."
"Well...I guess I better go up there."
"Yeah...Oh! and Harry?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't say anything to Ron. He's not as nice as you are at handling situations such as this."
Harry lent over the table and kissed Ginny softly.
"Don't worry."
Harry gathered his things and made his way back up to the Common Room.
"I better not." Ginny said quietly watching Harry leave.
