Chapter 14:
{Hermione's Point of View}
After dinner me and Draco didn't talk to each other but we did share quite a few glances while I headed to the Gryffindor common room and he headed up to his fancy Head Boy room. I sat down on the couch in the common room and just stared blankly at the ceiling thinking about what it was that was so important that Draco's father had to write him. Hopefully he didn't know about me and Draco, or what ever me and Draco are. Im not entirely sure myself on that one.
Harry walked into the common room and spotted me on the couch. He walked over and sat down beside me. He looked at me with curiousty and wonder. Than he shook me from my thought.
"Hermione!" he said waving his hand infront of my face.
"Mmhmmm..." I answered sort of still in my thoughts, sort of back in reality.
"I need to talk to you about something extremely important." Harry said with worry in his voice. I shook away my thoughts and looked over to him.
"What about?" I answered.
"Could I talk to you in private, like could we go for a walk or into your room or something?" Harry asked. I looked at him trying to figure out why he would need to talk to me.
"Um... sure, my room or a walk?" I asked.
"Your room I guess." Harry said and we walked in silence up the stairs to my room. We sat down on my bed, still in silence for what seemed like forever when Harry finally opened his mouth to say something.
"Look, Hermione this is really hard for me to tell you."
"Well, you know you can tell me anything and everything right?"
"Ya, and that's why I need to tell you this," Harry said looking at his hands and sweating nervously, "Its about Ron." My head suddenly snapped up.
"Is he alright? Is he hurt?" I said suddenly all worried.
"He's fine, its nothing like that. Well its just that, you know how he and Cho have gotten close lately? Like really close?"
"Yeah, but its just because they working together on the Charms project. Speaking of which, we really should start working on it."
"I know, but like, they've become really, really close outside of their classes too."
"Sooo..." I said getting confused.
"Hermione! Put two and two togther!" Harry said getting frustrated.
"What are you talking about Harry?" I asked him, getting more and more confused by the minute.
"Ron is cheating on you with Cho! For someone as smart as you I would of thought you would have guessed that already!" Harry shouted quietly to me. I looked at him with shock and the only thought that ran through my head when he said that was "That fuckin hypocrite!"
"Are you okay?" Harry asked putting an arm around me. I shook it off as my eyes started to water.
"Ya, I'm fine..." I whispered as the tears started running down my face. "But all the pain that bastard put me through because of what I did to him and than he goes and pretty much spits in my face!"
Harry puts his arm around me and I cried into his chest. He just held me and didn't say anything for awhile until my eyes could not cry anymore.
"I'm sorry," I said looking up at him. He looked at me with surprise and said, "Why?"
"Because you've been my best friend ever since my first day at Hogwarts and in the last few months I haven't told you anything that's been going on in my life, I have barely even been talking to you. I'm sorry."
"Hermione, it's okay, don't worry about it."
"I will worry about it! I've been so worked up in my own life that I've forgotten about yours. I'm so sorry."
"Its okay, Hermione, seriously, its okay." Harry said just as my eyes began to water and I went back to crying in his shirt. Just at that moment my spell wore off and my bruises that were beginning to fade came back. I was so glad that Ron hadn't touched me since the 1st day of the Charms project, and it was all thanks to Cho, in a weird twisted way.
"Hermione, you seriously have to tell me what happened. And don't you be telling me no bull shit bout you falling down the stairs or something because you and I both know that you didn't do nothing of the sort." Harry said as he brushed along my bruised arm gently.
I looked at him and said one simple word, or name in this case. "Ron..." Harry looked away from me and just stared blankly. I saw the look on his face, and he looked as if he were ready to kill someone.
"Harry say something!" I said finally breaking the deathly silence.
"What do you want me to say?! My best friend who I've known all of my years at Hogwarts, whom I thought could never hurt a fly was beating the shit of my other best friend, who happens to be his girlfriend, who I've also known all of my years at Hogwarts. I don't know if I should beat the shit out of him or kill him!" Harry shouted in furry.
"Harry there's more to the story than just Ron hitting me, just calm down and listen please?" I said rubbing Harry's arm soothingly as Harry breathed in deeply and looked as if he were counting to 10 over and over again.
"Fine, tell me everything." Harry said.
"But you have to promise not to kill anyone okay, even Ron." I said looking at him with concern.
"I'm not promising anything." Harry said and considering that, that was probably the best I was going to get from him I started telling Harry all about Draco and I, and how Ron found out and got pissed. How Ron had raped me, and how he started beating me. I told him about Ron's temper, and how Draco helped me through it. I told him about how once he started with Cho that he stopped hurting me. I told him how in a way Cho saved me from Ron.
"So, we have to stop Ron from hurting Cho the way he did me." I said finishing the whole story. Harry sat there in shock, his mouth continuously opening and closing.
"So... you and... Malfoy...are..." Harry started but I interrupted him.
"I don't know what me and Draco are but I think I'm starting to fall for him." I said smiling slightly.
"Falling for... a... a... Malfoy? Are you mad?!?! Have you gone completely mental?!" Harry shouted.
"Harry, he's different around me you know. He's actually nice," I saw starting to drift off but snapping back quickly, "But you can't hurt him or Ron you hear me Harry!"
"Why not?" Harry asked, looking at me.
"Because I really like Draco, and if you tell Ron he'll know that I told you and he'd come after me 1st." I said. Harry thought about this for a minute or two.
"So what am I suppose to do?"
"Nothing, but if you really want to do something, tell Ron to break it off with me because you know about Cho and you don't want me getting hurt or something on those lines. I'm pretty sure once he dumps me he'll make him and Cho official and I'll try and get her to leave him before it gets serious." Again Harry thought about this and nodded.
"Ill do my best." Harry said, "I'll leave you for now because you need you're beauty sleep, but if you need anything feel free to come into my room and wake me."
"Thanks Harry, thank you so much!" I said. Harry smiled and headed towards the door. He stopped and looked back at me and said "Good night Mione."
"Night Harry." I replied. He walked out and shut the door behind him. I took this opportunity to get into my silky pjs and get some shut eye. I quickly threw them on and I was out like a light as soon as my head hit the pillow.
