And she just stood there, like some saintlike annoying holyperson and she said stuff to me that like were so cruel!" Draco paced up and down the Slytherin' Common Room in front of Blaise, who had just gone out of bed and was very glad he at least got some coffee. With his eyes he followed Draco, who kept running his hands through his hair and kept babbling about his fight with the Know-it-All.

"…and you know what's even worse..she all started it! She kissed me! It's all her fault."

Draco stopped with his yelling to catch his breath and looked at his friend, who looked at him with raised eyebrows and still hadn't said anything.

"you bloody moron, have you gone mute?" He asked irritated.

"No, I was waiting to cut in, Drake, relax." Blaise answered, sipping his coffee.

"Tell me," Draco said, sitting down on the couch, "What should I do? We still have more to do for our Potions-Assignment and I still want good grades, you know." Draco ignored that Blaise smirked at his obvious lying.

"Drake," Blaise said leaning over, "make up with her."

Draco opened his eyes so wide, Blaise thought they would pop out of his head.

"what!"

Blaise grinned. "You heard me."

"That's the dumbest idea you have ever suggested!"

"Not as dumb as you sleeping with the Bookworm for no particular reason!" Blaise reacted back, quiet enough so Draco was the only one to hear it.

"You don't get it," Blaise explained calmly, "because you have never been with a girl for longer than a night. When you fight with a girl, it's no solution to just ran off. You have to make up. You still got that assignment and face it Draco..you start to fall for her."

"No I'm not!" Draco reacted loudly, causing a lot of Slytherin' to look up.

Blaise eyes shimmered. "If you're not, then prove it. Go over there and kiss Pansy."

Pansy looked up quickly after hearing her name.

"That's no prove, that's just disgusting!" Draco tried.

Blaise smirked. "See?"

Draco ran his hands through his hair once more. "Merlin, what am I going to do?"

"Exactly as I told you too." Blaise said grinning. "If you don't want the Boomworm to hate you again like she did before all the shagging and 'potion-effects', you better go to her."

"But it's so.." Draco hesitated, his face expressing how repulsive he thought it was, "it's so un-Slytherin."

"Even us Slytherin' fellows do things for our women." Blaise simply said.

"She is not my woman." Draco reacted quickly. He jumped of the couch and said with fury: "The day I make up with Bookworm, will be the day she will be parading in my shirt in the Great Hall!"

Hermione was in her bedroom, making as much of the Assignment for Potion's as she could. She was writing down everything the potions did and when she would be finished, he had to do the rest. Now she was in such a big fight with Draco, she just want to get it over with.

She had McGoganall informed after class about the door and strangely enough without asking questions, she had repaired it for her.

Hermione found it hard to concentrate on her work, with all the angry words she and Draco had exchanged still screaming in her ears.

Today they had exchanged equal hurt and furious glares and it didn't made Hermione feel good. Unlike all the other fights with Draco, this one actually hurt her.

I am not going to cry, I am not going to cry, she chanted, I am not going to cry for that asshole.

How could she have been so stupid to think she and Draco were bonding or something like that. He was right, that was really unnatural for him.

She shook her head as if to clear her mind and bowed down on the Assignment again. At least she would still get good grades. She shook her head again, becoming sad when she thought of how many things she still had to do for her Assignment.

She quickly stood up. She had to get out. And so she got going, making her way to the Griffyndorroom.

""And he is just so cocky!" Hermione blazed through the Griffyndor' Room.

She was pacing down in front of Harry, Ginny and Ron, who exchanged glares while Hermione blew off steam.

"And he just assumed I thought he liked me, hell, I'm not that stupid.." She roared in anger.

"Hermione." Harry said.

"..and he is just such an ass, he can't possibly be the womanizer everyone thinks he is.."

"Hermione." Ron said.

"..now I'm stuck with that wanker and we still have so much to do for our assignment.."

"Hermione." Ginny tried.

"and he is just so.."

"HERMIONE!" They screamed.

Hermione looked at them and stopped pacing.

"You're just stating the obvious, sweetheart." Ginny said, grabbing her hand and guiding her to the couch, between Harry and Ron. She sat down in front of her on the table.

"And the obvious is, is that Malfoy is an ass, and that you're falling in love with him." Harry said with no expression on his face.

Hermione looked at all three of them and then collapsed. She started crying. She was too worn-out to argue and she just wanted to be comforted.

She felt 3 pairs of arms wrapping around her and she cried: "I can't! It can't be! No!"

And with that, Hermione broke down, and started telling the whole story. She needed help.

"You can't change the fact he's weakening you, Mione." Ron said, stroking her hair.

"Or the fact he is a wanker." Harry added in an afterthought.

Hermione started crying even louder.

Ginny looked at Harry in dissaproval, which made him turn red.

"Well, he is." He muttered under his breath.

"Sweety, you can't let him get to you like this." Ginny said softly. "You have to remain calm and act like you don't care. That's what will protect you from him."

"He's dead inside." Hermione sobbed. "He can't feel a thing. He's not human!"

Ginny, Ron and Harry didn't knew what to say, because they thought she was right.

"Err..maybe it's best if you sleep in my dorm tonight, Mione." Ginny said softly. "You shouldn't see him for a while, I think."

"He doesn't deserve that you like him, Mione." Ron added, "you should be with someone who makes you feel good. Not someone who makes you cry."

Hermione sniffed. "Why aren't you guys mad I like Draco Malfoy? I mean, God, It even sounds disgusting."

Harry and Ron grinned. "Control-Anger-Management."

Ginny slapped them both on the arm. "And the fact that we love you, and you didn't choose to fall for Ferret." She smiled.

When Draco wanted to go into the Common Room, he bumped into the person he was most afraid to see.

Hermione.

"Watch where you're going." She muttered.

"Where are you going?" Draco asked, noticing her small bag with clothes hanging out.

"I'm sleeping at Ginny's." Hermione simply said, turning away. "And I finished the paperwork for our Assignment. All you have to do is test the last two potions. With Pansy or some random whore of yours."

And with that she walked away, leaving Draco once again.

"I told you that you should have made up with her, man." Blaise gulped down some Butterbeer. "Now she's gone."

Draco acted like he didn't feel miserable about it. "I don't give a damn." He said, before drinking another Fire Whisky in one gulp.

"Right," Blaise smirked. "You're just become an alcoholic overnight."

Draco muttered some insults, before grabbing another bottle, Butterbeer this time.

"I think I do like Bookwurm." He then said, looking into the fire with blank expression.

"That's what I've been telling you, you moron." Blaise grinned.

"She definetily doesn't like me." He said sadly. "At least not anymore."

Blaise rolled his eyes. "Don't get all emotional on me, just because you're getting drunk."

"What am I going to do, Blaise? How do I make it right with the Bookworm again?" Draco said, running his hands through his hair.

He did that a lot lately.

"I have an idea." Blaise grinned, with twinkling eyes.
