Love Sick

Chapter Eleven

The alarm rung so loud it made Hermione jump out of bed. She combed her hand through her hair and turned around half confused why she was naked as she turned off the annoying sound. 9 o clock. Then she saw Draco's belt on the floor near her night stand, remembering and snapped her head at the side of her bed. He wasn't there and she assumed he went to get dressed. Hermione stretched her arms and rose to her feet strolling over to her drawer.

She took out a navy zippered down sweater and navy pants. Grabbing her towels she ran to the bath room. The tap of the shower was still half on and Hermione knew Draco had used it earlier. After she took a 10 minute shower she watched herself in the mirror. Hermione began to blow dry her hair when she noticed a small red bite mark on her neck. Immediately she blushed remembering last nights episode.

After she had combed through her hair she rushed on her clothes and walked out of her room. Hermione hoped that Draco was downstairs waiting for her but quickly her high hopes crashed when she found the common room empty. I guess I'll just meet him at breakfast.

It was Saturday and the whole school seemed to be constantly gossiping about the talent show. Hermione wrapped her arms around herself as she walked down the corridors while students stared and some even pointed at her. She couldn't control the feeling of being violated and almost had the urge to hex each and every one of them. She found a small corridor that lead to the back of the school which meant she had to walk all the way around to reach the Great Hall. I'd rather walk longer then be stared by all them.

She turned the corner and continued walking when thoughts of Draco came to her head. Where could he be? Why did he leave me? Her thoughts were interfered when she saw a few Slytherin boys laughing and talking loudly ahead of her. She turned another corner and stopped in her tracks when she heard his name.

"And he was bloody mad man, I don't know what gotten into him." A young Slytherin boy said.

"Yea well I over heard he made a bet to sleep with that mud-blood." A next one said. Hermione gasped tear eyed. No! It can't be true.

"No wonder he was with her. I knew he was up to something man." Jason Welch a seventh year Slytherin said. He quickly began to laugh evilly. "Man, leave it to Draco. He would sleep with practically any virgin he can find!"

"Who bloody cares! I'm hungry." Goyle said irritated. The rest of the boys murmured a few other things as they walked on down the hall. Hermione leaned against the cold brick wall crying. Why me? I was so good to him. Hermione fell down and brought her knees to her head still crying. He used her and now he left her. No wonder I didn't see him. Taking me out, dating me, telling me he loved me...it was all a bloody lie!

A swell of hate dawned upon her. I gave him everything, I left my friends, I trusted him! Hermione got up on her feet and dash through the corridors. Hermione had almost crashed into a few students along the way but she didn't care. Her mind was on one thing. Draco Malfoy.

Her pace slowed down to a halt when she reached the portrait hole of the Slytherins. Hermione whispered the password and strolled inside, not concerned that many suspicious eyes were on her when she entered the common room. They couldn't say anything knowing she was Head Girl but they never took their eyes off of her either. Whispers can be heard from corners of the room as Hermione searched around until she saw Blaise standing by the window, looking outside. Hermione walked up to him feverishly furious.

"Blaise where is he?" Blaise was more then startled he was shocked to see Hermione standing in front of him, panting and red eyed.

"He went outside. What happened to you?" He asked confused. Hermione brushed her hair behing her ears then stared at him with deep resent.

"You're his friend. You knew. You fucking knew! And what did you do, nothing!!!" Hermione screamed. It didn't matter to her that people were looking at her and that Blaise stood there appalled.

"You don't understand." Hermione was so angry that she didn't care who she stricked out on. Suddenly before she knew it her hand dashed across his face leaving a very visible red mark across his cheek.

"A BET!! I WAS A FUCKING BET!!" New fresh tears began to pour down her cheeks as she ran out the room and down the flight of stairs. Finally she had made it to the front entrance of the school and flung the doors open.

Very few students were outside, since it was packed snow. But she could visibly see a figure leaning against a tree wearing a grey jacket the she knew too well. Despite the frigid cold and the fact that she had no coat on she stomped through the snow making her way to him. He never heard her or even if he did he didn't turn around to look at her.

"MALFOY?!" She bellowed his name making him turn around, astounded. Not acknowledging she used all the strength she had in her body, her fist made a blow across his face making him fall over into the snow. "FUCK U FERRET AND GO TO HELL!" She kicked snow in his face and ran back to the school not once looking to see the reaction she had given him.

Ginny was brushing Hermione's hair in the Gryfindor girls dorm. Hermione had explained the whole thing to Ginny. It was five hours ago when Hermione had knocked out Draco and Ginny was impressed to hear that but also shocked to find out Hermione was a bet. Hermione didn't mention slapping Blaise but she knew he deserved it too. To take Hermione's mind off of Draco Ginny discussed the talent show and how great it turned out. Hermione pretended to listen to her chit chat but her heart was somewhere else, her mind was somewhere else. How could you steal my heart and do this to me? I should blame myself for falling like a hopeless fool. Maybe I believed there was good in everyone but I was wrong. Lavender pranced in a hurry and looked at the two.

"Harry and Ron want to talk to you, Hermione." Hermione raised an eyebrow. Harry and Ron haven't spoken to her ever since the day they found out. She hadn't come around to explain to them but now she knew there was no point cause it was over between the relationship she built with Draco. Ginny stopped combing her hair and looked at her.

"Go talk to them. They're probably sorry to have been so mad at you." Hermione got up and looked at her dear friend.

"I hope so." Hermione walked out of the room leaving the two girls to talk alone. She made her way down to the common room to find them sitting down watching the fire. Harry was the first to see her and he got up rushing over to her.

"Hermione, me and Ron need to talk to you." Ron came right behind him nodding in agreement.

"Yea, we sure have a lot to talk about." Hermione said. She sat down on the couch as Harry sat next to her and Ron sat on the coffee table.

"We're sorry. I mean it's not our business who you date." Ron said. Hermione shook her head.

"No guys, it's my fault for not telling you." Harry waved it off.

"How bout we forget this. I mean you are our best friend." Hermione broke a smile for the first time the whole day. She looked over at Ron who seemed to be hanging on her every word.

"Yea, let's forget this all happened. I missed you guys." Ron gave her a hug.

"You have no idea how much we missed you. I have an assignment that I need your help with." Hermione started to laugh and looked over at Harry who was already laughing. Seeing her two friends had made her come to a conclusion. I may have lost one relationship but I still have another.
