Chapter 5
I walked into the common room I had to share with Draco. He was in the library, looking at some books. He turned when I cam in the door.
Draco smiled. "Hey, Hermione-"
I socked him in the nose. He hit th book case and collapsed onto the floor. "Hey yourself, you dumb bastard!"
He stared up at me in disbelief. He touched his cheek. "Hermione, what the hell's gotten into you-"
"What the hell's gotten into me?!" I shrieked. "What the hell's gotten in to ME?!" I towered over him, my eyes glowing with anger. "Malfoy, what the hell's gotten into you?!"
"Oh, so now I'm Malfoy again, huh?" he asked me. I nodded, still angry. My hands instinctly gripped my hips, and I tilted my head and glared down at him.
He stood up and put his hands on my shoulders. "Come on, Hermione," I took a step back and watched his hands fall to his side.
"I don't want to talk to you, you, you bastard. I heard about what you said to your friends at lunch. And frankly I don't give a rats ass if its true or not cause it's over, BYE MALFOY." I left the room tears streaming down my face. But I couldn't let him see.
"Fine then, Granger, be that way." Oh god he is so mad now hey but wait I don't care I'm free of him now but I so don't want to be. I slammed my door and sat down at my desk to write my mum a letter and I decided to write Mrs. Weasley, too. I haven't talked to her since this summer. I wonder how she's doing? Oh I need to stop talking to myself. I just sat there thinking of what I wanted to say when I heard Malfoy call my name.
"Granger get down her Potter and Weasley are here to see you." he said.
"Sorry you guys I hope we can still be friends, me and Hermione broke up and I don't know what it's about maybe you can find out for me. Oh here she comes, see you guys later." He had to leave he couldn't stand to be around her.
"Hey, Hermione, hows it going?" Ron looked scared like I was about to hit him.
"Good, I guess. And I suppose Malfoy told you we broke up." I said veshisly.
"Yeah but why I mean everything was alright at lunch."
"Well when Ginny, Luna, and Lavender came looking for me earlier I kinda blew them off, I mean I was already mad at Lavender for being a gossip." I told them everything that had happened and when I was done they just stood there with their mouths open and all wide-eyed, it was kinda funny.
"So, you're saying that the only reason Dra-Malfoy went with you was because he wanted to 'break' you. Wow! I mean he does seem like the type but he looked like he was about to cry when he was talking to us before you came down." I scowled at them. I mean I don't care Oh yes I do care I just don't want to show it.
"Ok ok. I see you are going to take his side Huh? Well that's ok I guess I will just have to believe Ginny then." I started to walk off but Harry had grabed my arm What does he want now?
"WHAT, HARRY?"
"Nothing, it's just if you heard this from Ginny you might want to ask Malfoy yourself because I've seen the way she stares at him, it's this longing type look like she just wants him for herself and herself only." I slapped him and Ron coward afraid I was going to hit him next.
"What was that for? Damn it." he said rubbing his cheek.
"How dare you talk bad about Ginny she's my friend and she's supposed to be your's too. She would never do that to hurt me." But wait what if she would. Ok I'm going to talk to her later today. I'm doing it again stiop talking to yourself Hermione it's wierd.
"Hermione are you ok, I mean you look like you have alot on your mind?"
"As a matter of fact I do so would you please excuse me. Have a good day." At that I left back up to my room to write those letters. I sat down dipped my quil in some ink and started writting.
Dear Mum,
I just broke up with my boyfriend, Draco Malfoy, but I'm not sure it was the right thing to do. If you could please owl me back with help.
Your Dearest Daughter,
Hermione
I reread it a couble of times to make sure it was right and then folded it up and put it in the envelope. Now for Mrs. Weasley's, what to write, what to write.
Mrs. Weasley,
Hello, Mrs. Weasley, this is Hermione. I just thought I'd send you an owl since I have nothing else to do. I hope you're doing good. I was going out with Malfoy, I know what was I thinking, but I really did like him, I really do like him, but I broke up with him it's a long story. I'll tell you later. Harry and Ron are doing good... but Ginny... well she's the one who got me to break up with Malfoy. I mean she didn't say to me "Hey Hermione I think you should go break up with Malfoy." but it's something that she said. Well I got to go it's about time for dinner. Talk to you later.
Love,
Hermione
I reread it to make sure there were no mistakes I knew it was a little wordy and a little cliffy but Oh well. I made my way downstairs to find Malfoy, Harry and Ron all talking they quickly stopped as I walked out so they were probably talking about me.
"Hey Harry, Ron... how's it going? I'm off to the Owlry to send my mum a letter and your mum a letter. Don't worry it's not about you. Well I best be off. TaTa!" I walked out, no one had said a word no one had even blinked. As I got to the Owlry I saw Ginny leaving and I stopped her.
"Hey, Ginny, I heard what you said to Luna and Lavender today and I just wanted to let you know you can't have Malfoy 1: your mum would kill you, 2: Ron would kill you and 3: I would kill you. Even though me and Malfoy don't go out you still can't touch him YOU GOT IT." She nodded and I walked up to the Owlry Picked out 2 owls and sent them on their way.
I walked into the common room I had to share with Draco. He was in the library, looking at some books. He turned when I cam in the door.
Draco smiled. "Hey, Hermione-"
