HARRY AND DRACO

A couple of minutes after Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, and Hagrid had left; Ginny and Hermione entered the Three Broomsticks.

"Hi, guys" said Hermione briskly, as she sat in front of Harry, Ginny sat next to her brother.

"You don't know how many new and interesting books are there" said Hermione to Harry.

"I brought you one, I'm sure you'll find it very, very interesting" said Hermione while she took out of the bag a book called "The Greatest Seekers, of all Times." In the moment that Harry grabbed the book he also touched Hermione's hand, Hermione looked up at Harry, he was looking at her completely captivated.

Ginny stared at them, was she imagining things or... she turned to see her brother, to see if he was seeing the same as her, Ron nodded. In that moment Ginny realized that she was completely over Harry, it didn't hurt her at all seeing him interested in Hermione, she even thought that they made a very good couple.

Finally Harry broke the eye contact. He opened the book and was looking to some of the moving pictures when he heard Hermione say

"They mention Viktor, after his spectacular catch in the last Quidditch Cup, how couldn't they." said Hermione sounding very excited.

Harry looked up and scowled. Ginny laughed, Harry immediately turned to see her.

"So Hermione, I need to buy some quills would you like to go with me to Scrivenshaft´s Quill Shop" said Ginny still smiling.

"Sure" said Hermione

"See you later guys" said Hermione as she and Ginny stood up.

The minute they were out of the Three Broomsticks Ginny asked Hermione.

"So when were you planning to tell me?"

"Tell you what?" said Hermione turning to see Ginny.

"About you and Harry, of course" said Ginny.

"I don't know what you mean" said Hermione.

"Oh come on Hermione its more than obvious, he fancies you!!" said Ginny briskly.

"No he doesn't" said Hermione.

"Yes he does" said Ginny.

"No he doesn't" said Hermione once more looking at Ginny.

"Yes he does" said Ginny sternly.

They were still discussing the matter when they turned the corner, that's the reason why Hermione didn't see Draco, and ran directly into him, he had a cup of coffee in his hand, coffee that he spilt all over Hermione's clothes.

"I am so, so sorry" said Draco apologetically "I didn't see you"

"That's okay, I was distracted too" said Hermione while she took her wand out, to take the stain of her clothes."

"No, please allow me" said Draco while he took his wand out.

Ginny was about to take her wand out too, she was sure that Draco was going to jinx Hermione.

"Straviarus" said Draco and Hermione's clothes were spotless.

Ginny couldn't believe her eyes. Had Draco just helped Hermione. There was an awkward silence among them.

"Well, see you later" said Draco at last. And he gave one last look to Hermione before he left. Ginny could've sworn that she had seen Draco´s cheeks go pink.

"Oh my God, he fancies you too" said Ginny when they were alone again.

"Who?" said Hermione. Ginny rolled her eyes, she couldn't believe that Hermione had just asked her that.

"Malfoy, who else" said Ginny

"Ginny No." said Hermione in a firm tone "There's no way Malfoy can fancy me."

"His eyes and attitude just said otherwise." said Ginny still amazed.

"No" said Hermione.

"Yes" said Ginny.

"No" said Hermione again.

"Who are you going to choose?" said Ginny smiling.

"No one, because neither of them fancy me" said Hermione starting to sound angry.

Ginny chuckled, but decided to drop the subject. They walked towards the store in silence.
