Chapter 30-

AN- Sorry that I am slacking. I meant to update sooner, but I decided to start another story. I will be posting it on either this site or another one that is only Draco and Hermione stuff, but I am not really sure. I will tell you all when I decide.

About the other site, that is just Draco and Hermione fics, it hasn't opened yet, but I will keep you all posted and I might put the link into my profile.

Well, Happy reading and thanks to all of my reviewers. I love all of you!!!!

"George put me down!" Hermione yelled as they approached a door on the third floor.

"Okay. One second." he replied as Fred opened the door for them. George carried her in and sat her down on the bed.

"This will be your quarters, Milady. I hope that it is satisfactory." Fred said when they, excluding Draco who was still in the hall, were in the room.

"Yeah, I hope you like it. I am sorry that you have to room with a git like Draco Malfoy." George said.

"Well, about that--" Hermione was once again cut off when Draco walked in and glared at the twins.

"If you'll kindly leave, I think that Hermione and I would like to unpack." he said icily.

Fred and George turned to Hermione as if asking if she was okay with that. Hermione nodded and they left. "See you later then." They said as they closed the door.

Hermione was about to open her mouth to say something when the door opened again. George poked his head in and said, "If he does anything just scream and Fred and I will come and beat him."

"Just go. I will be fine." Hermione replied, trying to hold back a smile.

He nodded again and left. Hermione waited a few minutes before turning to Draco. "Sorry 'bout them. They are just a little… dramatic."

"Why didn't you tell them that we were together?" he asked in a small voice.

"I didn't have a chance. I tried." she replied.

"I know, but I won't stand by while they flirt with you." he said.

"What? Did you say…flirting?"

Draco nodded.

"What do you mean? They have never been attracted to me."

Draco shook his head and said, "It is obvious. They both like you. 'I want to carry her.' 'No, she's mine.' ::Pouts:: 'You can have her next time….Blah Blah Blah.'" he mocked.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I don't think of either of them like that, and I never will. I promise I will tell them next time that we see them." she said as she leaned forward and placed a light kiss on his forehead.

Draco rolled his eyes before he said, "Riight."

"Oh shut-it, Malfoy. Now hurry up and unpack. I am starving." Hermione said, slapping him lightly on the shoulder.

"What about Mrs. Weasley?"

"What about her?"

"She hates me. I'm not sure I am ready for another confrontation with her."

"She doesn't hate you. She was just a little…shocked."

"If you say so."

"I do. Now hurry. My tummy is yelling at me."

"What is it saying?"

"That if you don't hurry your arse up, I am going to kill you." Hermione threatened.

"Okay, okay."

*****************************************************

An hour later, Hermione and Draco walked into the kitchen and sat at the table. Mrs. Weasley was standing by the counter, making sandwiches.

"Hello, dears." she said as they entered. "I made you too some sandwiches. Here you are, now eat up."

"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley." Hermione said.

She smiled and nodded. She then went back to the counter and began putting things away. After a few minutes, she said, "I got an owl from Dumbledore today."

Hermione looked up and furrowed her eyebrows together. "You did?"

"Yes, it arrived right after you two got here."

"What did he want?" Draco asked, shocking both Hermione and Mrs. Weasley.

"Well, he told me about your…situation."

"Our situation?"

"Yeah, I have to admit that I was worried about you staying in my home. But, Dumbledore explained everything to me and I think that I owe you an apology for not trusting your intentions."

"You don't owe me anything. You had every right to feel that way. I have been nothing but mean to your entire family, and for that I am sorry." Draco said.

"Well, all is forgiven." 'Except on Ron's case.' she added in her head.

"Good."

"Now eat." She said as she left the room.

"That was great, Draco." Hermione said when Mrs. Weasley was gone.

Hermione smiled as she drank her water.

"Yeah." Draco replied as he took a sip of his water. He gulped and scrunched his eye brows. "This tastes funny.

Hermione looked puzzled and took the glass. "Let me try it." she said and she took a sip of his water. She swallowed and nodded her head. "That does taste bad. Go dump it out."

Draco nodded as he got up and crossed to the sink. When he reached the sink, he fell over.

"Draco? Are you okay?" Hermione asked, getting up and running to him. When she was about a foot away from him, she slipped on the spilt water and fell down beside him. The fall knocked the breath out of her, but when she relearned how to breathe she turned to Draco. He was giggling and pointing at her. She frowned at first, but she too was overcome with a fit of giggles. They sat on the floor giggling for a few minutes when Draco suddenly stopped. He stared at her with angry eyes and yelled, "Why are you laughing at me?"

Hermione was startled by his sudden outburst, and then anger consumed her and she yelled right back. "I'm laughing at you!?! You were laughing at me!!!"

"I most certainly was not!!"

"Yes you most certainly were!"

"You are such a stupid, childish MUDBLOOD!!" he yelled as loud as could.

Hermione was taken aback, but the anger was still boiling inside her. She raised her hand and struck him. She slapped his face as hard as she could. "I hate you, ferret-boy!!!" She yelled before she turned on her heel to leave.

Draco reached forward and grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him. "How dare you touch me." he said menacingly.

"Let me go!" she screamed.

"No. I think that you need to apologize!"

"For what?!"

"Putting your filthy, Mudblood hand on me!"

"Oh, it bothers you, does it?" she asked as she took her free hand and rubbed it across his face.

"Stop touching me!!!"

"Why should I?"

"Because you're a filthy, trashy MUDBLOOD!"

"Well, you are heartless, brainless ferret!!!"

"I hate you!!!!"

"I hate you too!!!" Hermione said as she raised her knee to his groin. She lowered her voice to a whisper. "Now, let me go or you will regret it."

"Oh yeah, what are you going to do, Mudblood."

"Look where my knee is, Ferret face."

Draco looked down and quickly released Hermione's arm. "That is low."

"Well, now you know never to touch me again!"

"Like I wanted to touch filth like you in the first place."

"Same goes for me, you arrogant son of a…DEATH EATER!!!" She yelled as she ran from the room. She had only gone a few steps when she ran into Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

"What was all that yelling?" asked a distressed Molly Weasley.

"Nothing!" Hermione yelled as she pushed past them and ran up the stairs. 'Draco Malfoy is nothing but a good-for-nothing git.' Hermione thought as she ran up the stairs. 'I don't know what I ever saw in him. I claim temporary insanity!!'

Hermione was almost to the second floor when she ran into George and fell to the ground. "I'm sorry, 'Mione." he said as he helped her up.

"No problem. I wasn't watching where I was going." Hermione said, blushing.

"Can I walk you to your room?" he asked.

Hermione smiled and nodded. "I would like that George." she said blushing once again.

George held an arm out to her and she laced her arm through his. They walked in silence for a few minutes until George said, "Here we are."

Hermione looked up and sure enough, they were at her room. "Yeah, I guess we are. I think I am going to take a nap." she said.

"Okay." he said giving her a light kiss on the forehead. Hermione smiled and turned to go into her room when George grabbed her wrist and said, "Hermione?"

"Hmm?"

"I-I--" he cut his own words off by pressing his lips against hers. Hermione was surprised at first but soon kissed him back. Her eyes fluttered shut and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

When they finally pulled back Hermione said, "I'm not so tired anymore. Can we go for a walk?"

"Sure. Let's go." he said as he entangled his fingers with hers.

"Good."

AN-Muuhhhaaaaahahaha…Cliff hanger…Sorry, it's my bed time…
