Chapter 3:

"Draco, they're not my friends anymore." Hermione said. Now Draco couldn't say that he wasn't unhappy. He hated the two more the anything! But he didn't like seeing Hermione in a mess like this.

"Oh. That's too bad." He said trying his best to show some sympathy. Hermione smiled a tiny bit. They walked out onto the grounds.

"So love, where to today?" he asked.

"Let's skip the Hogsmeade trip. I feel like doing something rebellious." She said.

Draco looked up at the sky and muttered a brief prayer. Thank god.

The two were in the astronomy tower. (cue the lights!) It was around eight that evening. The two were out on the balcony, looking at the stars, arms around each there, snog here and there.

"Draco, do you love me?" Hermione asked.

Hermione pulled away. She would have to do this. Losing her two best friends didn't seem to feel right.

"Draco?"

"Yes love?" he answered, sitting next to her on the bench.

"I think we need to take a break." She said, holding back tears.

"Hermione, but why?" you could so hear the "oh my god, this is so not happening!" tone in his voice.

"I need to straighten my life out. Things are too out of hand." She said quietly, now letting the tears flow. He stood in front of her, immobilized.

It took him a minute before he decided to say. Malfoys don't love, Malfoys don't fall in love with mudbloods...he kept on remembering what his father said. It was bugging at him inside, that he should abide by this. But if she's the one, is it right to let her go because of what people considered her parents as? Draco had had enough of this. He was tired of listening to everything his father said.His mother wasn't any help either. He decided, that it be best that he just took matters into his own hands.

"I'll wait a lifetime for you love." He said, kissed her, and walked away.

She sat there that night, crying all the more.

"Ron!" Ginny yelled, running up to him the next day.

"You didn't hear what happened yet?" she asked, out of breath.

"Ginny, what happened?" Harry asked.

"Hermione, and Draco..." Ginny said. "And you two know it's probably all your darn fault for not understanding."

The two were in shock.

"I've got Transfiguration. Bye." She said running off.

"Ron, do you really think she did?" Harry asked, in shock.

Draco walked past them, looking rather miserable, not saying anything. That is, until someone he disliked so very much, said something.

"HEY FARRET!" Harry yelled, then snickered. Ron looked at him, in shock of what he had just heard.

Draco turned around. "Did you say something Potter?"

"Yeah, farret, I did."

The fight wasn't all that nice. Blood everywhere, cursing and swearing left and right, and the punching...

"STOP IT!" a small voice suddenly screamed.

Draco stopped puching Harry, and looked over to find a very mad Hermione Granger. She looked at him.

"It's a wonder I sometimes even talk to either of you. You make me SICK, getting all mad at eachother, calling whoever names, beating eachother up. I thought you'd both get over it. But you didn't..." She said, nearing tears again. She ran off.

Draco let go of Harry, and just walked away. Crabbe and Goyle followed.

"Mr. Malfoy-"

"Get a life, the two of you." he answered.

He needed to get away, far away, he didn't want to deal with this anymore...
