You're Not Alone
Ginny opened her eyes slowing, nearly flinching at the presence of light which seemed to be hell-bent on making her eyes water uncontrollable as it attacked her eyes. She made a move to sit up but found herself weighted down by something. She lifted a hand to shield her eyes from the light and found Hermione, still asleep, partially on top of her. Ginny smiled slightly as she slid out from beneath her newfound lover and sat at the end of the bed to watch her sleep. Ginny couldn't help but giggle softly at Hermione's pajamas, they had odd cartoons all over them, a blue dog like thing and other peculiar creatures that Ginny couldn't recognize.
"Whatcha laughing at?", Hermione asked, opening her eyes and letting Ginny know she was awake. Ginny cocked her head on one side and moved onto her front so she was laying on top of Hermione.
"Morning beautiful", Ginny smiled, softly kissing her, "How you doin?". A cheeky smile spread across Hermione's face and she stuck out her tongue slightly.
"Joey Tribiani wannabe", she smirked. Ginny frowned in confusion before shrugging her shoulders and cuddling into Hermione, gently tracing patterns across her stomach with her gentle fingers.
"So...where do we go from here.....wait", Ginny froze, "I mean..not...last night...it was amazing..are we....?". Hermione laughed and gently caressed Ginny's face.
"You're my girlfriend...I'm your girlfriend..you cool with that?", Hermione whispered, softly kissing Ginny again. Ginny laughed softly.
"I think I can just about manage that", she whispered, "Now let's stop talking and get down to what really matters".

Draco sat cross-legged at the end of his bed, trying to piece together exactly what had happened over the last term. What with his father going off on one like that and befriending Hermione he wasn't quite sure where he stood in the chain of events, not to mention he had nowhere to stay over the break so he'd have to remain in school. He sighed and began to chew the end of his chain absent-mindedly. His peace was shattered when the door was thrown open and he was greeted by a clenched fist.
.
Hermione couldn't help but notice all the eyes which followed her around the school, not doubt they were whispering about her friendship with Draco. To be honest she didn't care that much but they were hardly easing any worries she had by staring at her so much.
"Wow...you're the centre of attention...which reminds me...where are Harry and Ron?", Ginny asked, glancing around, realizing she hadn't seen them all day.
"And Draco..", Hermione trailed off before breaking into a run towards Draco's sleeping area, praying to god that she wasn't too late. Ginny watched Hermione for a split second before her mind caught up with Hermione's train of thought and feelings of horror spread throughout her body as she too broke into a run.

Hermione burst through the door to Draco's room and called out the first word that came to mind, Harry and Ron froze, midway through beating a helpless Draco to a pulp. Hermione scrambled forward and helped Draco up, glad to see he was only sporting a black eye and a bloodied lip, she'd obviously got there just in time.
"Are you alright?", Hermione asked, hugging Draco tightly, Draco flinched slightly from the pain but hugged Hermione back,
"Ya...thanks", he smirked, "Wonder how many times they're gonna try this". Hermione sighed and shook her head.
"No more times...I'm going to Dumbledore...they've tried to kill you twice over the fact we're friends, this is pathetic and I'm getting it sorted out one way or another", Hermione ranted, throwing her hands in to air in frustration. Draco smiled weakly before speaking,
"There could be a problem with that", he whispered, gently, Hermione frowned, asking him a silent question. Ginny ran through the door way and came to a halt at the sight of Harry and Ron frozen, Draco nodded towards Ginny then at Ron and realization struck Hermione hard...

Well...what's Hermione gonna do? Stick up for a friend or let them get away with it for the sake of her newfound lover? ...pfft pretty obviously really isn't it?
