Chapter Five: The Fight
Another day of classes, ugh. We had one class with Slytherin, Potions. And we had partners. Harry and Ron weren't surprised to see me go with Draco. They were just displeased. I wore my new necklace everyday. It was brilliant. I told Ginny about it but not Harry and Ron. Draco really loved me. I wasn't sure but was I starting to fall for him too? Potions wasn't too hard. I never realized that Draco was that smart. For once, Professor Snape didn't snap at me. But Gryffindor did lose five points for Neville's potion turned orange instead of green. Draco didn't laugh at this though. Once Potions was over, Draco kissed me passionately in the corridor and said good bye. I started to get used to the kissing, I started to like it too. "How can you do that, out in the open for everyone to see?" Ron asked with disgust. Me, Harry, and Ron started to walk down the corridor. "Ronald," I sighed, "you are going to have to get used to the fact that Draco and I are dating." "Still," he replied. "Still what?" I asked, a little bit of anger in my voice, stopping to face him. "I'm sorry that I have feelings for him but I do. I wish you two could get used to that but apparently you can't." I didn't like saying that to Harry, he hadn't said anything to back Ron up during our little fight, but I knew he felt the same way as Ron. "I'm used to it, Hermione," Harry finally said, "I just don't like it. But you're right. Ron, you are going to have to get used to it. And he does seem nice to Hermione." "Thank you , Harry," I said. "Harry! I can't believe you're going with this!" Ron yelled. "Ron, get off it. I was thinking last night that we were going to have to get used to it sooner or later. Better sooner rather than later, don't you think?" Finally Harry was coming to his senses. "It's just going to take a little longer for me, I guess," Ron said, he was still angry, I could tell. "Fine, be that way, Ron. But think of this, if you had a girlfriend that I thought was horrible, don't you think I would at least be nice to her?" I said. I'm nice to Angela and I hate her. "You would be nice to her but you wouldn't like it. I guess that's the difference between you and me, Hermione." I couldn't believe he was being so stubborn. "Well, I guess it is." I went off to our next class without them. Why did this have to happen? And now I really did like Draco. I thought I would dump him at some point but now I wasn't so sure. I didn't sit with Harry or Ron at lunch or dinner. They didn't seem surprised. I sat with Ginny and Parvati instead. Draco sat across the room with the Slytherins but I could see him staring at me. Ginny and Parvati didn't notice though. I didn't even know if Parvati knew. She would about have to because of Hogsmeade and Potions. Ron had better get over this soon. Maybe tonight Harry will talk to him about it. At least Harry is taking it better. I wonder what the Slytherins think about it. Draco dating a Mudblood and all. I don't know what Draco will do about them. He is their 'leader' though. I didn't say anything good night to Harry, Ron, or Ginny. Once I was done with dinner I just got up and left. I was pretty tired tonight, I wanted to get to bed early. Draco wasn't back when I got to the common room. I headed up to my dorm. I brushed my teeth and put on my pajamas. Just as I was getting into bed there was a knock at my door. "Come in, Draco," I said standing up from my bed. "How did you know it was me?" He opened the door as he said this. "Just a lucky guess." "I just wanted to say good night is all." He came over and gave me and kiss. "Good night. I love you," he said as he walked back toward the door. I hesitated. He never said it like that before. He was almost out the door before I said anything. "Draco!" I called. "Yes?" "I love you too."
