A/N: Sorry for the delay again but I just got back. My Grandma is doing
fine. Thank you all for your support. I think because of your prayers that
was what made her better. I'm truly sorry for my reviewer ? (lol)...I didn't
get home in time. But I promise you when you get back you won't be
disappointed (hopefully.lol).

Hermione walked happily this time. She was happy that she and Draco were back together again. But she was worried about what 9:50pm would bring her. She was still a virgin and she had never been possessed before. Questions were running through her head.
'Will it hurt?'
'Am I ready?'
'I love Draco...so I am ready...right?'
Her happiness came to confusion. She kept on walking. Not noticing Professor Snape calling to her. She walked up the moving staircase and to the Fat Lady's portrait. The Fat Lady was singing. Her boisterous voice ringing through the halls and waking up the old sleeping wizards in their frames.
"Ex-" Hermione began.
"LAAAAAALEEEEEEEOOOOOLLLLAAAAA!!!!!!!!!"
"EXCUSE ME!!!!!" Hermione bellowed out making the Fat Lady jump and stare down at her with a shocked expression.
"Oh! I'm sorry dear...didn't hear you," the Fat Lady said with a smile.
"No you wouldn't have...jumping pumpkins,' Hermione said rather annoyed at the Fat Lady's rudeness.
The Fat Lady nodded her head and let her in. Hermione walked into the common room. Her thoughts still running through her head.
"Her-Herm?" A voice called to her.
Hermione turned around. Ron stared back at her. His cheeks a lighter shade of red than his hair.
"Oh...hi Ron," Hermione replied.
"Errr...what are you doing? I mean...what are you up to?" Ron corrected himself.
Hermione stared down at him.
"Ummm...nothing why?"
"Umm...would you like to have lunch down at the lake...with me?" Ron blushed a deeper red.
"Oh why...yes thank you," Hermione said smiling.
Ron's expression turned into an open one. His smile nearly covering his whole face.
(Meanwhile in the Great Hall)
"Harry?" Ginny asked after a few silent hours of studying.
"Yeah?" Harry replied. His palm supporting his head.
"Err...you don't think Hermione would hurt Ron do you?"
Harry looked up, his hand now resting on Ginny's hand.
"No...she's not like that. She's smart," Harry smiled a reassuring smile.
Ginny weakly smiled back.
"You don't believe me do you?" Harry continued after seeing that her expression hadn't changed.
"Well...Hermione doesn't hurt Ron...I know that because she's one of my friends...but Ron can be hurt without someone hurting him...you know?"
Harry's face was puzzled.
"Are you saying...if Ron finds out about Draco and Hermione...he'd only hurt himself?" "Exactly,"
(Down by the lake)
"So...what have you been doing when you were away?" Hermione asked taking another bite of her sandwich.
"Oh...nothing really...just trying to do my best to help,"
Hermione smiled. Ron had never taken her out to lunch. "Hermione?"
"Yeah Ron?"
Ron moved a little closer to her. His cheeks red.
"You...you are special...to me," he began.
"Ron...what are you saying?" Her expression unreadable.
"I like you Herms...more than a friend," Ron looked into her dark chocolate eyes as he spoke.
Hermione stared back at him in shock. She didn't say a word. Then Ron did something unexpected. Before Hermione even got the strength to speak Ron's lips caught hers. Hermione didn't know what was going on...she was too shocked. Before Ron knew it her hands grabbed his shoulders and he found himself on the ground on a really sharp rock.
"Ouch!...Hermione I'm sorry!...I didn't mean to-"
"Ronald...I-I can't...I'm with someone else," she began. Tears forming in her eyes making them shiny and moist.
"W-what...with who?" Shock was now apon him.
"D-Draco,"
"MALFOY!!! THAT DISGUSTING WANKER!!!!???"
SLAP!! Hermione's hand made contact with Ron's left cheek.
"DON'T YOU EVER CALL HIM THAT!!"
"I CAN CALL HIM WHOEVER OR WHATEVER I WANT!!!!" Ron managed to say whilst holding his red hot cheek.
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FRIEND RON!!! NOTHING MORE!!!??"
"YEAH WELL YOU WERE WRONG!!! ALL YOU TUNRED OUT TO BE IS A BITCH ON HEAT!!!"
Hermione didn't know what to say. She didn't want to slap him again. Her hand really hurt at that moment. She turned from Ron and walked back up to the castle. Leaving Ron to stare back at her. Tears forming in his eyes and falling to the ground.
Hermione cried too. She was confused, angry and very upset. But she loved Draco...and Ron was just a friend. She liked Ron...but not loved him like that. She ran up to the common room and into the girls dorms and onto her bed. She sulked for most of the remaining day.
(7:59pm The Girls Dorms)
Hermione's tears were still slowly rolling down her cheeks and onto her pillow. Girls have been walking in on her and asking questions but Hermione only replied with, "I'm okay,"
Then finally Ginny came in.
"Hermione?" she asked when she spotted her friend lying face down on her bed.
"What?" came a muffled reply.
"Harry has been looking for you...he wants to talk,"
"So...he found Ron eh?"
"Yeah...he's really upset,"
"But I don't love him!"
"I know...and I think Ron knows that now," Ginny watched as her friend sat up on her bed.
"What am I going to do?" She asked looking pleadingly up at Ginny.
"I'm not sure,"
They stayed silent for a few minutes. Hermione looking out the window to the dark sky and Ginny looking at her fingernails.
"So...how 'bout we go down to the Great Hall?" Ginny asked breaking the awkward silence.
"No...I better be getting ready to see-" Hermione cut short.
"Who...oh Malfoy. What are you guys doing?"
"Oh...nothing. We're just going to chat," Hermione began to blush.
Ginny looked at her friend before her. She wasn't sure...but Hermione is going to make another mistake soon.
"Maybe...you should stay here tonight? I'm sure Malfoy would understand...I think."
"Malfoy doesn't know," Hermione said.
"Oh...well...Just tell him and-"
"He'd probably give Ron more pain and anger,"
knock, knock, knock
"Herm...can we talk?" came Harry's voice through the wooden door.
"She's coming Harry!" Ginny replied.
"Is that you Gin...okay I'll wait in the common room," Harry replied. His footsteps fading.
"Do I have to?" Hermione whined.
"Yes...Harry won't bite...hard," Ginny smiled.
"Oh ha ha," Hermione got up and changed into more comfortable clothes and she and Ginny made their way down the spiral stairs to Harry who was sitting by the fireplace.
