Broken
Chapter 8: The Fight
After an hour laying on the bed entwined and Hermione listening to his heart beat, Draco shifted and stared in her eyes. Hermione wondered what he was thinking and smiled at him.
"Yes?" Hermione said. God was he beautiful.
"I love you Hermione Granger." Draco said. Hermione froze, why was this so odd for her to hear? Maybe your not use to Malfoy being loving. As though he sensed her tense he asked her. "You don't believe me?"
Hermione knew with all her heart, body, mind and soul that he loved her but this was still new for her. "I do, I trust you." Draco smiled and hug her tightly. Hermione closed her eyes. "Draco?"
"Yes?" He said with a whisper. Hermione lay in his arms and feeling his heart beat made everything feel so natural.
"I love you too." Hermione said with a soft sigh. Draco kissed her forehead and smirked.
"I know." Draco said. Hermione fell asleep in his arms feeling safer then she ever had in her life.

Hermione woke up the next day with the sun beaming in her face. Stretching her arms a sudden realization came to her head. Draco is gone. She sat up quickly and scanned the room. After she got up of her bed she heard the shower turn off.
"Draco." She whispered. Hermione threw on a pair of underwear and tank top then her robe. Walking through the hall she heard a knock on the door. Adjusting her collar of the robe to hide her skin, she gently opened the door.
"Hermione we need to talk!" Harry said urgently. He rushed through the door not even allowing Hermione to utter a word. Ron followed after frantically. Hermione closed the door impatiently and watched the two angrily.
"Where's Hi? or Hello?" Hermione glared at them. How dare they just waltz in. Harry looked at her strangely before remembering what he had just done.
"Oh sorry. It's just that I got to tell you something." Harry said. Ron standing beside him nodded.
"Its important." Ron added. Hermione gazed at the clock then turned to them hands on her hips.
"Well? Its seven in the damn morning. What's so damn important?" Hermione said. Harry and Ron glanced at each other then at her.
"What's up with you?" Harry said. Hermione opened her mouth to speak when Draco walked in with a towel around his waist. His face turned red. Before he could even say anything Harry went on a rampage.
"What the hell is HE doing HERE!!" Harry yelled glaring at Draco.
"He's here because he lives with me. Now tell me what the fuck is so damn important!" Hermione shouted back at Ron. The nerve of him to act this way! How dare he act like he's my father! Stupid git!
"Hermione!!! Are you out of your bloody mind?! It's MALFOY! M-A-L-F-O-Y!!" Ron screamed.
"I know how to bloody spell you stupid GIT! Don't you dare shout at me! Your not my father!" Hermione shouted back with all her might. Her face became so heated she wouldn't be surprised if it matched Ron's hair. Ron glared at Draco then at her and grabbed Harry's arm and walked towards the door.
"I...I can't believe you Hermione...never thought you'd do this...never." Harry's voice descended to a whisper and left with Ron who slammed the door behind them.
Hermione stared at Draco who stood there leaning against the white wall. His face was expressionless. Hermione turned her back to him and rested her hands on the kitchen counter near the front entrance. I lost my two best friends! Great! I knew this wouldn't last. As Hermione brushed her dangling hair back from her face she felt two warm arms wrap around her waist.
"Sorry." Draco said softly kissing her bare shoulder. Hermione leaned back against his bare muscular chest and closed her eyes.
"It's not your fault." Hermione said.
"It is, I should have at least been dressed appropriate." Draco said. You looked just great to me. Hermione chuckled to herself.
"Don't worry, Malfoy's are known to make an impression." Hermione said and laughed. Draco laughed with her. Hermione turned around to face him. Hermione pushed back his wet hair that almost covered his eyes. The gesture made him smile genuinely.
"I have to go get myself ready." Hermione said breaking the silence. Draco nodded and let her walk in to the hall and disappear behind her room door.

Harry and Ron landed at the front porch of the Burrow both angry and silent. Harry rushed passed Mrs. Weasley and went upstairs to Ron's room who he shared with. Ron came in after five minutes and glared at Harry who lay on the guest bed.
"We have to talk to her, you know." Ron said.
"No. We don't. She's a traitor." Harry said angrily. "She finished school and she's off with that loser the second she got the chance." Harry swung his legs over making room for Ron to sit.
"Maybe...maybe she had an explanation." Ron said as he sat down.
"No mate, friends just don't do that without letting us know. She looked like she wasn't planning to let us know." Harry said calmly.
"But she is our best friend. As much as I'm angry I want to here the truth from her." Ron said. "That's what she taught us, Harry. To listen to the other when you don't want to listen." Harry glared at him and then looked down at the creaking floor.
"She'd better have a good explanation. He was half naked damn it!" Harry's anger began to rise once more.
"Don't you think I noticed that! But she didn't seem disturbed. What if..what if.." Ron said and shook his head. "No, that's not possible." Harry looked at him confused.
"What if what?" Harry asked arching his eye brow. Ron's ears began to redden.
"What if she slept with him?" Ron said. Harry's eyes widen in horror. He had completely forgotten about that till he mentioned it.
"I pray it's not true." Harry said closing his eyes in disgust. "I pray it is all a sick practical joke and Hermione would just burst in and laugh." Ron looked at him and shook his head again.
"Me and you both, mate. me and you both."

Draco looked up from the couch and noticed Hermione standing in the hall fixing her short skirt. His heart leaped at the site of her. Hermione's hair was straighten for the first time and tied in a pony tail to the back, she wore a long sleeve silk white top and blue skirt held by a white skinny belt.
"You look beautiful." Draco said smiling at her. Hermione looked up half surprised to see him and half blushing.
"Thanks." Hermione bit her lip and walked over to him. The look she was giving him didn't look so happy. Damn Potter and Weasel.
"Are you still upset?" Draco asked brushing his hand across her cheek. Hermione looked down but he quickly cupped her chin to look at him.
"Yea, I don't want to lose two friends." Hermione said. Her eyes were watery and he was afraid she might cry any second now.
"Go talk to them. Make them understand. I'll stay here." Draco said. Hermione needed time alone with her stupid friends and he was going to step off for now. Hermione nodded approvingly and smiled.
"Thanks. Your the best." She wrapped her arms around his neck and peeked him on the cheek. "I'll be back in an hour tops." Hermione rose to her feet and ran to the fire place. She used the Floo Network and shouted.
"BURROW!" With that Hermione was swallowed into the fire place. Although he knew where she was he still felt alone as soon as her presence disappeared.

Ginny was walking around the house wondering where Harry and Ron ran off to but at the same time reading a letter from Dean. Ginny threw herself on the sofa and opened the letter once more.
Dear Gin,
I'm in Florida, USA right now. It's the last stop I'm making before heading back home. I miss you a lot and I hope we can get together when I return. I know your brother hasn't been easy on you and he was more then happy to see me gone but when I come back I'll try to talk sense into him. I wish you were here Gin. It looks beautiful here. And the sunset on the ocean is something you'd love to see. I'll bring you a souvenir for sure. Write back soon.
Love,
Dean
Ginny smiled at reading the letter and folded it back into her jean pocket. Suddenly she heard the door knock and she knew it wasn't Harry or Ron. As soon as the door flung open, Hermione dashed in.
"Where's Ron and Harry?" Hermione asked urgently.
"Ah..uh...I don't know." Ginny said crossing her arms over her chest. "Care to explain what's going on?" Hermione scratched her head and bit her lip then turned to face her friend.
"Listen, do you know where they could have gone?" Hermione asked. Ginny stared at her for a second.
"No, they were in a hurry though. Maybe they went to see you." Ginny said. Ginny watch Hermione pace around before being dragged to the living room by her arm. "What?"
"Where's your Floo powder?" Hermione asked. Ginny pointed above the fire place. Hermione grabbed some and looked at her again. "Ginny, can't explain right now. If they come make sure they stay here and send me a note." Ginny nodded her head at her. Hermione smiled and gave her a hug before disappearing into the fire.

Hermione landed in front of her door and she could hear people shouting and yelling. God, they're fighting! Hermione opened the door and stared at the three who didn't notice her walk in.
"You stay away from her Malfoy! If you know what's fucking good for you." Ron said angrily. Harry was holding his arm. Draco just stood there motionless as though their words had no meaning.
"Listen Weasel calm down and shut your pie hole! You don't know what's fucking going on and your stupid threats won't work." Draco sneered.
"What do you want from her anyways ferret!!" Harry shouted. "She's not some cheap whore you can sleep with whenever you want! She's our friend!" Hermione had enough of what was going on and ran to the center of all three.
"SIT DOWN!" Hermione shouted. Draco sat immediately on the couch. Harry and Ron sat on the opposite one slowly. "Don't say a damn fucking WORD!" Hermione shouted once more. All three just stared at her. Harry and Ron glared while Draco just watched the floor. "Good! Now, first and foremost Harry and Ron, you are not my parents you can not tell me who I can bring into my home and what I can do. Don't try to run my life. And if you were true friends like you claim you are, you wouldn't be jumping down his throat..." Hermione pointed at Draco. "...now that is through with let me explain what has been going on during your absence." Hermione looked at Draco and as though he understood he nodded for her to continue. "Draco and I have been seeing each other and he's also hiding from Voldemort, that's why he is here with me." Hermione said looking at Harry and Ron who lost all color to their face. "If you can't handle that then leave and our friend ship is over."
