With that rather confused response to my reviews, thanks for la reviews everyone!
Also!
There seems to be a discrepancy within my work, I forgot to add a scene within which Draco knows he will be able to walk, I completely forgot about it so sorry SoulAstray and thanks for pointing it out, I've gone back to chapter 9 and added the scene, BTW if Draco seems a little childish put yourself in his place and you'll see where I'm coming from.

You're Not Alone
Hermione watched as Ginny made for the door before getting up and crossing the common room, she was stopped when Harry stepped in her way, followed closely by Ron. Hermione groaned and folded her arms across her chest defiantly.
"Get out of the way Harry...I need to find Ginny", she stated, Harry snorted and took a step closer to invade Hermione's personal space, Hermione leant away from his, meeting his glare with a dark look of her own.
"She'll hardly want to talk with someone who fraternizes with the enemy", he spat, Hermione rolled her eyes and took a step away from Harry.
"Enemy? How old are you Harry? Draco is my friend...want me to spell that out to you, and if you or anyone else has a problem with that then they can stick it wherever the hell they like as long as it doesn't bother me", Hermione replied angrily, fully aware her voice was raised and everyone in the room was watching the display unfolding.
"Perhaps you're really a cheap tart and he's paying you for sex", Harry snarled, Hermione felt anger flash through her and before she could control her actions she'd slapped Harry hard across the face. Harry took a few steps back, giving Hermione time to push past him and continue on her way to find Ginny, leaving the room in shock.

Ginny stumbled along the corridor, her vision blurry from the tears which kept trickling down her cheeks and falling to the floor. She lifted one hand to dry them only to find herself at a wall, she stopped and leant against suddenly feeling as though she'd been punched hard in the stomach. As the tears finally took control of her entire body she felt a pair of arms gently encircle her waist, Ginny moved so she could face the person and froze when she realized it was Hermione.
"Where's Draco?", Ginny whispered bittely, wishing the tears would try up but knowing that they were just going to continue staining her pale cheeks red. Hermione gently lifted a finger and placed it on Ginny's lips before leaning in and replacing her figner with her lips. Ginny moved slightly from confusion but found her emotions taking over and her body moving of its own free will. She opened her mouth slightly and their tongues met in an emotional dance, Ginny's hand gently caressed Hermione's neck whilst Hermione's hands found their place on Ginny's waist. Hermione gently backed Ginny against the wall and pulled back. She leant in again and softly kissed Ginny's neck with fluttery kisses, making Ginny groan softly with pleasure as Hermione's gentle lips hit sensitive spots. Hermione pulled back again, but this time didn't move to kiss Ginny again. With their bodies still in contact, Ginny only had to whisper to make herself heard.
"But...you and....Draco and...", she whispered, Hermione shook her head.
"Draco and I...we're just friends and ...before...I was scared of my feelings...nothing more...nothing less", she murmured, Ginny felt a smile gently pull at her lips before she leant in and kissed Hermione again, a part of her not believing this was really happening but another part screaming with excitement as it did.
"Ginny...we've got to stop...someone'll see us in a minute", Hermione whispered, despite the fact her body was demanding a different response. Ginny sighed before pulling back.
"Sorry...got carried away", she joked weakly, Hermione gently tilted Ginny's head up and gave her a smile.
"However...if everyone's in the common room then doesn't that leave other rooms unoccupied?", she whispered, softly kissing Ginny's bottom lip. A cheeky smile spread across Ginny's face and she took hold of Hermione by her hand and led the way to the stairs. As they approached the stairs they passed Draco who shot Hermione a grin that was returned just as brightly.

Okay, it was a bit short, the next chapter will be longer, I just wanted Hermione and Ginny to finally realize that both felt the same way about each other.
Until next time, thanks for the reviews and Ciao.
