Chapter 3: Telling Harry and Ron
It's about a week after the ball and Hermione had yet to tell Ron and Harry about her relationship with Draco. To be honest, she was putting it off. She didn't want them to find out and then proceed to hex Draco. She needed a chance to talk to them and tell them slowly.
One day, on her way to double Potions, Hermione got her chance. Harry and Ron were walking with her to class and were, surprisingly, quiet. Wow, what happened to them? Hermione thought to herself.
"Hey, Mione?" started Harry, stopping where he was.
"Yes Harry?" replied Hermione, continuing to walk to the dungeons for Potions.
"Mione, are you ok? You haven't been spending as much time with us anymore. In fact, since the ball, we've barely seen you at all. And you're always with Malfoy. Is something wrong Hermione? Did we do something?" asked Harry, catching up to her and grabbing her arm for her to stop.
"I'm fine," she lied, but, getting a look from Harry, she sighed, "Ok, ok, there's something I have to tell you guys but you have to promise not to be mad, ok?"
They nodded and she continued, "Last week at the ball, a guy told me that he liked me and asked me to be his girlfriend. I kind of said yes."
Ron spoke up, "Who was this guy, Mione?"
"Malfoy," she replied, looking at the ground.
Ron exploded, "MALFOY? MALFOY? WHY IN BLOODY HELL WOULD YOU WANNA BE THE GIRLFRIEND OF MALFOY? HERMIONE HE'S CALLED YOU NAMES AND TORTURED YOU FOR YEARS AND SUDDENLY YOU DECIDE TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND? WHAT IN BLOODY HELL IS WORNG WITH YOU?"
As Ron was ranting, Hermione had begun to cry. Seeing this, Harry said, "Ron, calm down. It was her decision. If he hurts her then it's her fault for being his girlfriend in the first place. We have to respect her decision and be happy for her, ok?"
Ron sighed, his face returning to normal color, "I guess you're right Harry. Mione, I'm sorry. I don't like Malfoy, but if your happy I guess I can deal with that."
Smiling Hermione hugged and thanked them before continuing to walk to Potions. When they entered the room, she went and gave Draco a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before sitting next to Lavender at a table. Seeing her actions, the Slytherins all sneered at her and Pansy gave her a look of death. (a/n: Draco told them all already.) She didn't care though because Draco was her boyfriend and that made her the happiest (and luckiest) girl at Hogwarts.
A/N: ok..how was that? I think I'm gunna bring Christmas hols into this in the next chapter, don't worry. And Hermione and Draco will eventually fight, but it wont be for a while. Sound good?
