Chapter 5: Telling Harry and Ron
Hermione turned on her side and opened her eyes. They came in contact with her trophy that was sitting on top of her night stand and she smiled. It was a reminder of the best night of her life. It was the first thing she saw in the morning and the last when she went to bed. It's been almost a week since they became a couple and each day Hermione finds out more and more about Draco that she never knew before. For example, one night Draco told her that he was very close with his mother. When his father gave him a hard time or a beating for no reason, he would turn to his mother for comfort. They always look out for the other when his father was in one of his moods. Draco never told anyone about it...not even Crabbe or Golye. Not like they would tell anyone in the first place, but they couldn't offer to comfort and support like Hermione did.
She looked at the clock and groaned. She actually had to get up and go to classes, and for the first time for as long as Hermione could remember, she would rather stay in bed then deal with the professors. After finally getting dressed and ready for the day, Hermione joined her friends down at the Great Hall and after seating herself in her usual seat, she tucked into some food.
"I can't believe we have to start the day with Double Potions!" Ron complained. "And with Slytherins nonetheless"
Double Potions....Slytherins....Draco. At the thought of him, Hermione looked up at the Slytherin table and found who she was looking for. Draco felt her gaze upon him and turned her way. He smiled at her and gave her a wink. Hermione smiled back and took a mental note to tell him, the next time she got to talk to him, that he should smile more often.
"We're gonna have more points taken away from us today, I know it." Ron continued.
"Oh, give it up Ron!" Morgan, Ginny, Hermione and Harry said as one. They all laughed at the hurtful and defeated look on Ron's face. Soon after, Harry, Ron and Hermione made their way to Potions as Ginny went to Defense Against the Dark Arts and Morgan to Care of Magical Creatures.
The trio took their seats and waited for Snape to come in and start the lesson for the day. Harry and Ron started talking about their upcoming Quidditch match against Ravenclaw, while Hermione sat there with her thoughts, when a small ball of parchment came falling from above and landed in front of her. She looked to see if anyone else saw it, but everyone else was either in deep conversation or falling asleep. Hermione picked the small ball up and unraveled it. It was a note that consist one word....tonight. She looked back and caught eye sight of Draco, in which he nodded, confirming that the note had in fact been from him.
"Settle down, now, and pay attention." Said Snape, as he just entered the room and was making his way to the front of the class. "Today you will be reading on the potion Veritaserum. Now for those of you who don't know already, Veritaserum is a very powerful truth potion. It makes the drinker tell the truth no matter what. Turn to page 394 (A/N: haha, I couldn't resist) and begin reading on it. I want an essay on it, a foot long, by tomorrow. It will be handed in before you start to brew the potion yourself. Well, what are you all waiting for? Begin!" With that said, everyone nervously and quickly opened their books and started reading.
After Potions, the Trio had History of Magic with Morgan. Morgan and Ron sat in the back together while Harry and Hermione sat together and since it was yet another useless class, Harry and Hermione passed notes to each other.
'How did last night go?' Harry finally asked in the note. He folded it up and slid it in front of Hermione.
'It went...well. But here isn't the time nor the place to talk about it. Can we meet up later after dinner?' Hermione replied with. She folded it back the way it was handed to her and she slid it to Harry.
'Yea, just name the place and the time.'
'Library, 8:30'
'Alright, I'll let Ron know later in Divination. So what do you think I should get Ginny for our anniversary?' Harry asked, changing the subject to something that they would be able to talk about to pass the time until the bell rang to let them go to lunch.
Once inside the Great Hall, Ron, Morgan, Harry and Hermione took their seats and were shortly joined by Ginny.
"So how was Potions, Ron?" Morgan asked, kissing his neck up and down, trying to relieve some of his tension from his morning classes.
"It wasn't that bad. I have an essay to write tonight." He said as he returned the kisses. "I'll be up all night doing it."
"Oh, I was planning on doing something else tonight." She said disappointedly.
"What'd you have in mind?"
"Well, I do have a promise I owe you."
"Instead of tonight, how about after lunch? I have break next and I'm pretty sure that you do too." He said rubbing her stomach suggestively.
"Alright." And suddenly lunch couldn't end fast enough for Ron. He grabbed Morgan's arm and ran out of the Hall.
Minutes later lunch ended and everyone in the Great Hall scattered into different directions. Harry walked Ginny to her next class and then headed towards Hagrid's hut to pay him an overdue visit, while Hermione made her way to the library to start her Potions essay. The library was where she intended to go, but it's not where she ended up. On her way there, she was pulled into an empty classroom that looked like it hadn't been used in years judging by the dust and cobwebs that were on the chairs and desks.
Hermione turned to find Draco smirking at her.
"I thought you wanted me to..." She started to say but was cut off by his lips. Once out of the kiss, Draco looked at Hermione and smiled. Seeing the smile, she remembered something. "You know you should smile more often. It looks good on you....very sexy."
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind."
"I thought that you wanted to meet tonight?" She asked, still in his arms.
Draco frowned.
"I needed some cheering up. I got a letter from my father saying that my mother is ill."
"Draco, I'm so sorry to hear that. What's the matter with her?"
"They're not sure yet, they need to run some tests on her."
"Come here." She said and gave him a huge hug. This is what Draco needed. It felt so good to have someone to talk to and be there for you. He never wanted to get out of the hug, he just wanted to stay like that forever with her.
"Thanks, this means a lot to me." He said. And he gave her a kiss.
Hermione and Draco spent the rest of their break in the classroom together, until the bell rang. Draco walked Hermione out into the corridor and whispered, "I'll see you in Transfiguration" into her ear and gave her a goodbye kiss. Little did they know that they got caught together.
Transfiguration was the last class of the day after their break. Morgan and Ron walked into the classroom just before they were officially late. Morgan casually sat next to Hermione and Ron took his seat next to Harry. Harry raised an eyebrow at him and Ron blushed.
Transfiguration that day went rather quickly. They had learned a spell to turn animals into any other animal they wanted. Of coarse Hermione was the only one who got it as she turned her toad into a ferret. As she had done so, she looked at Draco, who gave her an evil look, but then soon turned into a small smirk. Their homework that night was to practice the spell and since Hermione already had it down, the only thing she had to do that night was the Potions essay that she never got to do.
After dinner that night, Hermione sat in the common room, finishing up her Potions essay when Ginny came and sat down next to her.
"Hermione, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ginny asked.
"Uh huh." Hermione answered, not looking up form her essay.
"Well, we've been friends for a while now, and we can tell each other anything and know it won't be repeated right?"
"Uh huh." She said again, still not looking away from her essay. She began to write faster to get the stupid thing done. She still had to meet Harry and Ron in the library soon and then meet Draco in the classroom that they were in earlier.
"Hermione, is there something going on between you and Malfoy?" Ginny came out and said.
Hermione now stopped what she was doing. She picked her head up and put her quill down and turned to face Ginny.
"I...I don't know what your talking about." Hermione lied. How did she know? How did she find out?
"Hermione, I've known you long enough to know whether or not if your ling. Now I know you are so tell me the truth." But Hermione answer. "Oh come on! I'm your best friend, now spill!"
Hermione let out a deep sigh and began. "You swear to Merlin you won't tell anyone?"
Ginny nodded her head in excitement, waiting to hear what she was about to say.
"Yes, there is something going on between Draco and I. We're...going out."
"You and Malfoy?!"
"Shh! Yes, that's what I said. But you can't tell anyone! We have to keep it a secret so his father doesn't find out and try to do something to me or him."
"Does Harry and Ron know?"
"Not yet. I'm meeting them in a few to tell them."
Ginny nodded her head and stood up to walk to bed.
"Ginny...." Ginny stopped in her tracks and turned back towards Hermione. "How did you know there was something going on between us?"
Ginny smiled. "I saw the way you two were looking at each other at lunch this afternoon." Hermione smiled back. "Night Hermione."
"Night Gin."
Hermione finished the last sentence of her essay and put it in her bag. By the time she was done, she barely had a moment to herself as it was nearly time to meet Harry and Ron.
"Merlin, it's gonna be another tiring night." She said her herself. She heaved herself off the seat and walked out of the common room.
Once inside the library, she found Harry and Ron surprising there already.
For the first time, in all her years of knowing them, she was actually nervous to talk to them. But they were her best friends, surely they would understand and support her...wouldn't they? She was about to find out.
"Thanks for coming guys." She said as she took a seat across from them.
"Anytime. What did you want to talk to us about?" Ron asked, a little alarmed that something bad had happened.
"First off, before I tell you, you have to swear to Merlin that you won't flip a lid."
Harry and Ron looked at each other and then nodded. "We swear Mione." Harry said softly.
Hermione took a deep breath and began to tell her story.
"Remember when I told you guys that the reason I disappeared later that night of the Ball was because I was tired?" Both boys nodded. "Well, that's not exactly what happened...."
Hermione went on telling them everything. From begging to end. From dancing with someone she wasn't exactly sure who it was, to walking outside, to tripping and ending up kissing the guy, and to finding out who it was.
"So who was he?" Harry asked.
"Well..." She began.
"Just tell us. We already promised not to lose it and we intend to keep it." Ron said.
"It's Draco." She said barely audible. If Harry and Ron weren't sitting so close to her, they wouldn't have heard her.
There was a few minutes of silence. Hermione looked nervously at them and she was surprised that they hadn't starting yelling at her. But for Harry and Ron, the thought of Hermione and Malfoy being together was still trying to process through their minds. Finally Harry broke the some what awkward silence.
"If this is what you want and as long as your happy, then I'm happy as well." Harry said.
Hermione looked from Harry to Ron. Ron seemed to be deep in thought.
"I can't say I like the idea, but I don't want to stand in the way of your happiness." He finally said looking at her. "Now you have to promise us something. Promise us that if Malfoy mistreats you in ANY way, you come straight to us and let us handle it." He finished and looked Harry who was nodding his head, agreeing with him.
Hermione felt so relieved. She knew they would understand and that's why she loved them so much. Considering she's an only child, Harry and Ron were the closest thing she has for brothers. She couldn't help but feel some what glad that they were being overprotective of her.
"I promise. You guys have no idea how much this means to me." She said as she stood up giving them each a hug. "I'm actually on my way to go meet him now, so I'll see you guys tomorrow."
"See ya Hermione."
As she go to the door, she waved her hand 'goodbye' from behind her and exited out of the library, leaving Harry and Ron alone.
"So what do you really think about this?" Ron asked.
"I'm happy for her, really I am. I just don't trust Malfoy."
"Neither do I. What do you suggest we do?"
"I think we need to have a little chat with Malfoy."
"And what did you have in mind?" Ron asked, very interested in what was going through Harry's mind.
