I do not own Harry Potter

Ron decided to follow Draco and Hermoine. They walked into a small café and sat down. Ron sank low in a booth, not too far away from them. It's times like these that I wish I had Harry's invisibility cloak with me, Ron thought. He ordered a butterbeer from the waitress so she wouldn't suspect that he was eavesdropping.

He looked over to the table that the 'Happy Couple' were sitting at and a look of disgust came over Ron's face as he watched Malfoy take hold of Hermoine's hand and not let go. The thing that got to Ron's nerves was the fact that Draco didn't look like he was going to let go of it anytime soon and Hermoine was blushing, and if that wasn't enough, she looked like she was enjoying herself with him. Well of course she's enjoying herself with him, Ron thought hatefully. They're holding bloody hands! His mind screamed.

Malfoy looked over at Hermoine, who was glowing. He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, which made her blush a deep shade of pink. He smiled at this, but this sudden attraction to her scared him. He had never felt this way towards anyone before. Well, there was that one night with Pansy, but he had his eyes closed the whole time, plus, she wasn't even that good as far as he was concerned. It was one of those 'spur of the moment' things that he regretted doing, because since that night she hasn't left him along about doing it again. He sighed. He knew his father would kill him, along with Hermoine if he knew the way he felt towards her.

As if reading his mind, Hermoine said "You really have to stop worrying about what your father would think." His head-ache had finally eased up and he smiled at her and she smiled back. "It's going to be hard, but I'll help you through it" she said and kissed his cheek. Now, more than ever, he wanted to kiss her again, but didn't. He held back...this time.

Ron stared in shock as Hermoine kissed the Slytherin's cheek. Since when were these two so smitten? Ron asked himself. He was furious. What did Hermoine think she was doing? Ron thought. He's a bloody Slytherin! And even worse, a Malfoy!! Not realizing it, Ron sat up to get a better look at what was going on between the two of them. What Ron didn't realize was that Draco could see him out of the corner of his eye.

Draco looked towards the booth that Ron was sitting at. He shot an icy glare in the direction which Hermoine noticed. "Draco, what are you doing?" she asked while turning around. She froze when she saw Ron staring at them. "Looks like someone has a stalker" Draco mumbled, but luckily Hermoine didn't hear him. She could feel the heat boiling up inside of her. She could tell that he has been watching her since they were there, by the expression on his face. Who the hell does he think he is? Hermoine asked herself, now glaring daggers at him as he waved uneasily and sunk lower and lower in his seat.

Hermoine started to get up but Draco pulled her down. "Hermoine don't. He's not worth the trouble" Draco told her softly, keeping his hand on her arm. Hermoine was completely flustered and wanted desperately to yell at Ron. She looked to Malfoy with pleading eyes. "Please?" she asked but he shook his head no. Hermoine thought for a moment. "If I don't get it out of my system then I'll end up yelling at you, and that's the last thing I want to do" Hermoine said. Draco finally nodded and said "But I'm coming with you." Hermoine nodded that she understood.

They both stood up and walked over to Ron's booth, Draco still holding onto Hermoine's arm. Ron couldn't sink any lower without falling onto the floor. Hermoine was furious and shaking like mad. Ron was terrified. He had never seen Hermoine like this before. She was just plain scary.

She and Draco both sat down at his booth. He wished it was just her that he would confront, but unfortunately for him, Malfoy, of all people, had to accompany them. Ron smiled nervously at the two of them who replied with a set of scowls.

"Who the bloody hell do you think you are, spying on me like that when you know that I don't like you that way anymore? Why do you think I left the burrow? I couldn't stand to be around! And now you're stalking me?! You're so insane! This is invasion of privacy!" Draco put an arm around her shoulder. "Take a breather Hermoine" he says calmly while rubbing her shoulders. Ron narrowed his eyes at this.

"What are you doing with him anyways Hermoine?! I thought we were supposed to hate him! He's supposed to be our arch-enemy!" Ron yelled and made everyone in the café turn and look at him. A waitress walked up to him and said "Excuse me but we do not allow this kind of behavior in here, could you please take this elsewhere?" Ron glared at her and she walked away muttering about how some customers were just too strange for her to deal with.

They three students stood up and walked outside. "Draco's changed! You might not want to believe it, but he has! He came to me for help because I'm the only one who would listen to his problem. He wants nothing to do with his father anymore. Bloody hell! He's even getting a re-sorting because he wants nothing to do with the Slytherin's!" Malfoy nodded in agreement.

Ron started turning numerous shades of red and looked a little on the sorry side. "I-I'm sorry" he stuttered. "I'll just leave you both alone" he said and walked away facing the ground. Draco looked down at Hermoine. "Well what do you want to do now?" he asked her. You don't want to know, she thought while smiling up at him and shrugging.

(A/N)-> Wonder how this fight will affect everything. Haha only I know! R&R please!
