CHAPTER TWELVE: "THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE"
There are many ways to spread news in Hogwarts. There are formal announcements (normally made by the Professors), notices on the common room bulletin boards and owls. But none of them are efficient at spreading the word when it comes to gossip. The only way to do this is mouth-to-mouth, face-to-face and the only way to properly give 'gossip' justice is to do it in groups.
Being practically isolated from the outside world, Hogwarts students thrive on any kind of news they can get their hands on. So it really didn't surprise Hermione when she saw little clusters of people whispering like mad.
"What do you reckon it is this time?" Ron asked beside her
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Some petty gossip that I have every intention of ignoring"
After writing yet another letter to Draco and sending it off with a school owl, Hermione had walked slowly back to the Great Hall for the second half of breakfast. Ginny, Neville and Ron had had to calm her down, explaining that some Slytherin would help him and that he couldn't be in too much trouble or Blaise would have seen fit to help him.
And so it was with a heavy heart that Hermione headed towards Herbology with Ron and Neville at her side. But as they proceeded towards the greenhouse the blobs of people whispering seemed to have increased, many of which were staring quite plainly at the three of them. Feeling the many eyes peer into her, Hermione quickened their pace, feeling immensely uncomfortable but trying not to make a big deal about it.
"Oh but they were so cute together!" A sixth year Gryffindor said
"She didn't!" A third year girl said, plainly horrified.
"I don't believe it!" A boy from Hufflepuff exclaimed
All were staring at Hermione as she made her entrance to the Greenhouse. Ignoring them she looked around. They had Herbology with Slytherin today and...no sign of Draco. Feeling quite deflated she lowered her head. Where was he?
Seeing her eye the Slytherin crowd and not seeing her boyfriend, Ron comfortingly put his hand into hers and squeezed gently.
Hermione looked up at him and smiled softly. "Thanks" she mouthed.
If Hermione thought that the clusters hadn't been whispering before she was mistaken. The groups erupted in hushed voices, turning back every now and then to stare at Ron and Hermione holding hands. Sensing that for some reason or another this was unacceptable, she dropped Ron's hand.
"Good Morning Class" Professor Sprout said in her usually cheery voice. Everyone hurried over to their spots on the table, clusters disappearing.
"Good Morning Professor Sprout" the class echoed
After a long, tedious morning of classes, and a load full of homework, Neville, Ron and Hermione made their way back to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Oy Ginny!" Neville shouted, motioning for the red head to join them, seeing as she was talking to a group of girls in her year.
Ginny smiled at Neville but when she saw Ron and Hermione her smile disappeared and she immediately turned back to the group of whispering girls. After a few moments she disentangled herself from them and finally made her way over to join the threesome.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked sourly, already helping himself to a plateful of food
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ginny asked, obviously hurt and ignoring Ron's question
"telloohwat?" He asked, mouth full of food
"Swallow Ron" Hermione said lazily "Tell you what Ginny?"
"About you and Ron!"
Hermione's face was the pure example of confusion, "What about me and Ron?"
"You two are together now!" Ginny said exasperated
Hermione stole a glance at Ron, whose cheeks were full of food and had a confused expression on his face. "Where did you hear that?" Hermione asked calmly
"Hermione! Everybody's talking about it! I couldn't seem to believe it when I heard but..."
"Ginny, what exactly did you hear?"
"That Draco saw you and Ron kissing! That is why he missed classes today! That is why he's a mess!"
"Oh Merlin No! This is all a misunderstanding! Oh...Draco!" Hermione said realization hitting her, getting up from the table, ready to sprint to the owlery again. But Ginny grabbed her hand.
"It's no use. He's going out with Pansy."
"WHAT?!!" Hermione felt as though someone had just dropped a brick in her stomach
"Why do you act surprised? I mean that was really low of you to be kissing Ron all the time behind Draco's back! I didn't really think you'd be the sort to do that but...I guess I didn't know you like I thought I did"
"No! No Ginny! This is all wrong! I-I didn't!" Hermione said desperately
"Did you or didn't you kiss Ron?"
"I--"
"Answer!"
"Yes once but it wasn't like that. Ron kind of--" She looked at Ron desperately, begging him to jump in for her. "He was having an emotional thing about Harry and well he just kissed me! I didn't bother telling anyone because I didn't think anyone had seen!"
"Well what about behind the Quidditch pitch? And the broom closet?"
"Huh?"
"All those other times you've been snogging Ron senseless!"
"I-I haven't. Ron, I—we've never!"
"Hermione, you're my friend. You can tell me the truth, it doesn't matter to me that it's my brother!"
"I swear Ginny! Only that one time and it was only a kiss! I've never snogged Ron!" At this comment, Ron's ears went red.
"She's telling the truth Gin" Ron mumbled, face and ears still red
"What?" She snapped turning to face Ron
"She's telling the truth"
"She—Ron, you don't have to defend her" Ginny said softly
"I know. But I'm defending me too!" Ron said furiously "We didn't snog! All of that's a lie!"
"I-It can't be"
"Well it is!"
"It-I-no-I- Oh Hermione! I'm so sorry! It must feel terrible!"
Hermione realized then, that she had temporarily forgotten about Draco going out with Pansy. Her face fell, how could he have done this to her?! Why would he believe such things? Feeling thoroughly depressed, she sunk, back against the wall, to the floor, tears threatening to slide down her cheeks.
How could things have gotten so mucked up? Hermione had thought she had done the right thing. Be the good friend, forgive Ron, comfort him. Even if he had kissed her, why would she have worried Draco about it? It was taken care of, it was over. How could things have run so out of control that suddenly Pansy Parkinson was going out with her boyfriend?
"Hermione? 'Mione are you okay?" Ron's voice came to her
"What?" She asked breaking out of her thoughts and wiping the tears that had fallen off her eyelashes. "I-I'm okay" Hermione attempted a smile but she only got half there before Ginny whispered violently in her ear.
"There he is! There he is Hermione!"
Hermione whipped her around so fast that her neck cracked. There indeed was Draco, walking into the Great Hall, strutting about like he used to with Pansy clinging to his left arm, whispering into his ear. Entranced, Hermione watched them with a slightly open mouth as Draco pranced about the Slytherin table, as if nothing had happened. Part of her wanted to run over there and kiss him, the other, punch him, and the third, cry.
"Hermione!" Ginny whispered violently
"Hermione, Where are you doing?" Neville asked
Hermione snapped out of her trance to find herself standing up and the Great Hall frozen, all watching her. She peered at the faces of her fellow classmates. All had seen Draco strut in and every one of them had turned to her, waiting for a huge reaction. Even the professors had stopped what they were doing to watch.
Attempting to ignore them, she turned her attention to the Slytherin table where a Blaise Zambini looked extremely uncomfortable, where a Pansy Parkinson was oblivious and was currently trying to cuddle next to Draco, and then Draco himself had frozen. He was breathing heavily matching the lungs of the Great Hall. He too was standing making them the only two standing.
Hermione tried to read his emotion from two tables over, he appeared un- affected by the circumstances but Hermione knew better. She knew just where to look...his eyes. And there it was! Everything she could ever need to know resided within those gray orbs. Anger, Hurt, Discomfort, Impatience, Curiosity, and could it be...love? But before she could decipher it all, he blinked, and rid himself of every emotion she had seen before.
And the two just stood there for a few moments, simply looking each other in the eye, daring the other to make the first move.
"This is stupid," she muttered softly to herself
"Hermione..." Ron said warningly
Glaring at him, she whispered, "I can take care of myself Ron" and began making the journey to the Slytherin table.
(A/N: I was very tempted to end it right there but I've put you poor people through enough already!)
Draco watched with batted breath as she approached him plainly ignoring the pressing stares from over 400 eyes. Sunlight pouring in from the adjourning windows graced her skin, illuminated her russet hair, and provided a light in her eyes that was intoxicating. Merlin, she's gorgeous he thought to himself.
"Draco?" She asked softly
Snapping out of his thoughts and realizing that Hermione was in front of him he almost forgot to sneer. Almost. "What do you want?" He said, smirk re-inhabiting his mouth, tone light, as if he was poking fun at her.
"We need to talk" Hermione said, voice still steady and strong
"Not with my boyfriend your not!" Pansy shrieked as she latched herself upon Draco. Trying to peel Pansy off without looking suspicious, Draco asked rather agitated.
"What about?"
"You know good and well what it's about" She said calmly, watching Draco's attempts of removing Pansy with slight amusement.
"Well I'm sorry but I'm trying to eat my lunch here. And I don't take interest in talking to--" A Mudblood. Those are the words you're looking for. Draco told himself. "To--" Mudblood It's not that hard. Mudblood. C'mon, bloody hell it's one word! Just say it: Mudblood. "To the likes of you!" He finished lamely, causing Hermione to smile a small, almost invisible smile.
Bloody Hell what's wrong with you?!!! You're pathetic! He thought to himself, mentally slamming his head against a brick wall. "Draco Malfoy" She said slowly, with a kind of defiance in her voice that made Draco realize that what she was saying was final. "We are going to talk"
"What are you going to do if I don't?" Draco dared
"Well instead of doing this privately we could just do it here. In front of your friends, classmates, and professors" she said mischievously
"Alright, alright. Let's go"
"Dracie-Poo! You are NOT going to go talk to that mudblood and leave me here!" Many in the Great Hall gasped at her insult, the word had almost all but disappeared after the war, but nonetheless all turned to Hermione.
She said nothing, did nothing, while she conjured up a smile and flashed it to Pansy. It wasn't an arrogant smile, it wasn't a sad smile, just a simple smile that made many in the Great Hall gape at her. They all knew of her horrible temper, she'd slapped Draco before, and being called a mudblood had always been a button that many had dared to push.
"It'll only be a minute Pansy." Draco said quietly, turning around, giving Hermione a well-c'mon-let's-go glare, and walking out of the Great Hall, head held as high as it could go.
(The next chapter's under way I'll definitely have that out before I leave! In the meantime...reviews would be nice! Lol...hugs, Haystack)
