"Harry? What's wrong?" Draco asked. He sat on floor of the abandoned
hallway, his back resting against the stone wall. Harry sat between his
legs, leaning his back into Draco's chest, quiet and thoughtful.
"I miss my friends. I really miss Hermione, but now Ron's acting strange and distant. It's like an empty spot in my day when I don't talk to them." Harry sighed, resting his hands on Draco's arms, which were wrapped around his waist.
"You don't need them. You've got me." Draco said arrogantly and brought his mouth an inch from the back of Harry's neck, sighing a hot breath of air onto Harry's skin, then he brought his lips down on the area and teased the skin. Harry relaxed into him and he wrapped his arms tighter, possessively.
"I know, but I still miss them." Harry said, his eyes half-lidded in appreciation for Draco's antics.
"They'll come around." Stated Draco firmly.
Harry maneuvered himself around to face Draco, placing his knees onto the floor on either side of Draco's legs. Wrapping his arms around the blonde's neck he brought his lips down to Draco's softly.
"Yeah, you're right." Harry said before licking Draco's lips, asking the blonde for permission. Draco let his lips be parted by Harry's tongue and their breath mingled between them. Small tingles crawled up Draco's spine as he responded with his own tongue, darting into Harry's mouth in a tango- like dance with the brunette's tongue. The kiss was deep and exploratory, passionate and hungry, and both boys hoped they never had to part. Screw the world, love ruled all.

Hermione sat on the cold stone floor in a dark, hidden corner of the library, books scattered around her. She flipped frantically book through book. She had been there for nearly five hours – at least she thought she had, there was no clock.
Tears now ran freely down her face, dripping onto the pages she searched desperately through. She had only wanted to help, all she had ever wanted to do was help. How could everything have blown up so badly? Now not even the library comforted her. Every book she tried she found nothing. Books had always worked. How could books not give her the answer?
She sighed in frustration and threw a large wood-bound book to the floor beside her, causing a loud, echoing thud.
"Excuse me." A voice drawled from behind some bookcases to her right.
"Sorry." She croaked out.
"No, it's not that, it's actually...well, I wanted to talk to you." The voice said and a figure stepped out from behind the shelves elegantly. A tall, lithe body. White-blonde hair. Stone grey eyes. Draco Malfoy.
"What do you want?" Hermione asked forcefully through her clenched teeth.
Draco sneered," If I weren't here for Harry I would punish your insolence."
"I'd like to see you try to lay a hand on me." Hermione scoffed," I'd have you on your knees and begging."
"Is that an invitation Granger?" Draco leered. Then he sighed harshly and shook his head," This isn't what I'm here for."
"Then spit it out and leave." Said Hermione, tired of Malfoy's presence.
Draco looked at her and his stone eyes softened noticeably," Harry misses you. He's empty without his friends."
Hermione shook her head and smiled scornfully," He's got Ron."
"Apparently Ron's been distant with Harry, won't tell him what's wrong." Draco rolled his eyes," I told him he doesn't need either of you; a Weasley and a mudblood. I'll never know how he picks such friends. Especially when he's got me."
Hermione looked at Draco appalled. "For your information, Ron is a very good friend to have. A little pigheaded sometimes, but a loyal and true friend."
"Is that why he won't speak to you anymore?" Draco challenged.
"If you've only come to taunt me, I want you to leave, now, because I don't know how much further I am from exploding." Hermione glared straight into Draco's stone eyes. For a moment he faltered, his guard dropped a little.
"I came to tell you that Harry missed you, and I don't like to see him sad." Then the eyes stiffened once more and Draco's back straightened to full height," So I suggest you make a truce with him."
"Not my place to make a truce Malfoy. It's his. He's mad at me." Hermione looked down to hide the hurt in her eyes.
"You can't just sit there and do nothing." Draco growled.
"What do you want me to say!? Of course I want Harry to be my friend again! You won't believe the hell my life has been for the last few days! But if Harry doesn't want to be my friend, there's nothing I can do!" Hermione screamed, library be damned. Tears flowed down her cheeks while Draco looked on uncomfortably.
"Q-Quiet Granger, just, quiet," said Draco uncertainly. When she didn't quit he got fed up," SHUTUP!"
Hermione looked up at him with anger written across her face," Go away, we're finished. You tell Harry if he misses me so much, maybe he should start being a real friend."
Draco's eyes narrowed," Filthy mudblood," he muttered and walked away.
Hermione looked after him tiredly. She couldn't do anything right. Maybe she was just a filthy mudblood. She grabbed another book and cracked it open, flipping through the pages. Suddenly she jumped to attention. On the page before her lie the answer. Such a simple little spell it was ridiculous.
"Love Spell Gone Wrong?" The page was titled. She read further:
To undo a love spell it's a simple procedure. When the wrongly-in-love- couple is together use the circle and whip maneuver with wand in hand and speak clearly "absentis amor." Only use the charm while the couple is in contact skin-to-skin.
Hermione searched down the entire rest of the page to make sure she didn't miss a thing. That was it. That was all. She just had to find Draco and Harry while they were holding hands and do this charm. Simple as that.
New tears formed in her eyes, tears of relief. When it was all over things could be back to normal. Would Ron ever forgive her? Would Harry? She could only hope.
A/N Review please. Thanks for all the positive feedback so far. I think you're all going to really like the next chapter.
