After having spent a blissful day together Draco and Hermione were curled up on the couch talking. They never expected the dramatic turn of events waiting just outside their door. A fuming Harry and an equally angry Ron were just about to knock.

(Knock, knock)

"Who could that be?" said Hermione as she got up to answer the door. Draco simply shrugged.

When the portrait opened it took Hermione a few seconds to register the look on Harry's face. "Oh, hi Harry, what brings you here? Why is Ron with you? What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Harry and Ron brushed passed her, and Ron set his gaze on Draco. "You!" he fumed, heading strait for him. Draco immediately stood up, ready to fight.

"Ron!" Hermione shouted, looking at Harry, hoping to see him jump forward to hold Ron back. But for once, Harry seemed perfectly content to let Ron beat Draco's brains out. So Hermione jumped forward and grabbed hold of Ron's robes instead.

"Draco darling, would you excuse us for a moment? I think the boys and I need to have a little chat," Hermione said as sweetly as she could, while pulling on Ron with all her strength.

"But Mione," Draco started to complain, not wanting to be seen as a coward. Then he saw the desperate look in Hermione's eyes, nodded, and turned to go into his bedroom. He closed the door, but then cast a charm so he could hear everything they were saying.

The second Draco was out of site Hermione let go of Ron's robes, which sent him tumbling to the floor. "What the hell are you two doing?" Hermione screamed.

"We're saving you," explained Harry.

"Saving me? From what?"

"From what ever spell you're under," grunted Ron as he picked himself up off the floor.

"What on earth gave you two the idea that I'm under a spell?"

"What about you sucking face with Draco Malfoy? Don't deny it, Ginny and I saw you," said Harry.

"Fine, I won't deny it. It's about time we brought this all out into the open anyways."

"Bring what out into the open?" asked Harry.

"Do I really need to spell it out for you two? Fine, Draco and I are dating. I think I may even be falling in love with him." When Draco heard this, he felt his heart soar a little.

"Its worse then we thought," said Ron as he grabbed Hermione hand. "We have to get her to Dumbledore."

"Let go of me!" Hermione screamed as he tried to drag her away. "I don't know what's gotten into you two today, but I want you to get out of my dorm!"

"Well, if it's not a spell then what is it?" asked Harry.

"Did you ever consider that maybe it doesn't concern you?"

"Of course it concerns us Hermione!" Ron exclaimed. "We're talking about Draco Malfoy."

"Out of every one in the school, the very last person it concerns is you Ron. And so what if it's Draco Malfoy? How does that make this situation so horrible?"

"Were just trying to protect you," explained Harry.

"I'm a big girl Harry; I think that I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself."

"It just makes no sense to us Mione, you hate Malfoy, and he hates you right back."

"Well, sometimes hate is just misguided passion," she explained.

"But it's just so wrong. He's the worst guy in the whole school."

"People change," Hermione stated.

"Not over night they don't. He's got a reputation Hermione. I don't know how much you've heard, but it's not good," explained Ron.

"So, he's got a reputation, who doesn't?"

"Why would he want to go out with you Mione?" Harry asked, sensing his mistake to late. When he saw Hermione's eyes flash and darken he hastily tried to cover his tracks. "I mean, don't you thinks he's up to something. He's probably just using you."

"Why would he have to use me? I'm hardly the most beautiful girl in school, so I'm not a trophy. Were both at the same level of intelligence, so it's not as if he needs me to do his homework for him, not like you two did. So then let me think, what could he possibly be using me for. Oh, I know, companionship, intelligent conversation, something to care about. You're right; those things are so horrible, I can see why you needed to stop him."

"Maybe you don't see this for what it is Mione, but we do, and so will the rest of the school," said Harry.

"I really don't care what you think Harry, and I stopped caring about you a long time ago Ron."

"Well, until you come back to your senses I, I, I mean, we, we forbid you to see Malfoy," stumbled Harry while Ron nodded in agreement.

"Oh, you forbid me." This caused Hermione to laugh. "What gives you the right to forbid me from doing anything?"

"We're your friends, and you seem to have lost your head. That's what gives us the right," explained Ron.

"No, that's were your wrong. You two, you're no longer my friends. Not until you can accept this, and even then chances are slim. Consider this the last time I ever want to speak to you two again." Hermione walked over to the of a lion that lead from the head common room into the Gryffindor common room and opened it for them. "Good bye Harry, goodbye Ronald."

"But Mione," Harry said, but Hermione looked at them with such a cold stare that the shuddered and hurried into their common room.

Hermione held her composure long enough to shut the portrait and walk over to the couch, before collapsing on it and breaking down into tears. She felt like she had years ago when the boys had turned their backs on her during their third year at Hogwarts, except for this time the feeling was much much worse.

Draco on the other hand could hardily believe his luck. Here Potter and Weasley had done exactly what Aengus had warned him not to do, and it had back fired on them, just like Aengus had said it would. And now Potty head and Weasel were out of his life forever. Not that Draco liked seeing Hermione go through such a horrible thing, but when two of your worst enemies are removed from your life you can't help but be glad. It was then he realized that Hermione was sobbing, so he rushed out of his room to grab her in a hug. He didn't say anything, he just held her. What else can you do when a relationship like Hermione had with her friends goes to pieces?
