"GINNY" Harry shouted at the top of his lung while peering over the top of people's heads, trying to spot the little but fiery redhead. 'Merlin why do I have to be so short!' Harry thought in fury.
Coming up behind him Ginny pulled on his arm, leading him back into the corridors as the other students in the Gryffindor common room were starting to stare. "What is it Harry?" she whispered while doing so.
"Hermione" she nodded her head to tell him to go on, ignoring Dean when he called her over to where he was standing with Seamus and Neville.
"And Malfoy" Harry rushed on, hands flying around franticly, nearly hitting someone in the face.
She raised her eyebrows at him, secretly hoping he didn't know the truth behind what he was saying. "What do you mean Harry?"
"They were together in the library and Malfoy said something to her. And he wasn't even being mean" Harry rambled as they walked, bristly .
"What exactly did he say?" she asked, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"He asked her if she had gotten over him" he shouted.
Ginny smiled. "That doesn't mean that they where ever together" she covered hoping Hermione wouldn't be to upset if Harry found out.
Beginning to lose his patience he shouted. "I KNOW THAT BUT RON DOESN'T!"
'That arrogant little PRICK' was the only thought running through Hermione's head as she rushed along the corridor to her next class, which, unlucky for her was double potions. But seeing Harry and Ginny up ahead having some kind of fight she quickly took a detour.
"Oi Hermione, who's the lucky guy then?" Ron asked as he slowed to drop into step beside her, a furious expression on his face..
Hermione looked up at him and put on her best confused expression, which Draco had often told her that it wasn't that good. "What on earth are you talking about Ron?"
"Well it's just that-"he started.
"RONALD WEASLEY, HOW DARE YOU. GET BACK HERE NOW!" a furious redhead yelled from halfway down the corridor. Ginny stomped up to him looking murderous.
"What are you talking about, Ginny?"
Hermione put her hand over her mouth to keep from laughing; she always had found it funny when Ginny got annoyed with Ron.
"I won't say anything here as I don't want to humiliate you in front of all these people" Ginny hinted looking pointedly at Hermione, who had stopped cracking up when Ginny said this.
Ron's eyes got wide as he realized what she meant. Looking at the passers-by who had stopped to eavesdrop he glared at them, and then turning to Hermione he apologized and quickly walked off.
Watching him walk away Hermione was suddenly pulled into the nearest empty classroom.
"You know you'll have to keep the thing between you and Draco quieter from now on" Ginny stated a stupid grin on her face as she sat on the corner of one of the old, wooden desks.
"What are you talking about Ginny?" Hermione said putting the confused expression back on. But despite Hermione thinking it was impossible, Ginny's grin got wider.
"Draco told me all about it yesterday" Ginny said coyly. Hermione started to protest but Ginny held up a hand. "Before you ask why he would ever even consider doing a thing like that I'll tell you," Hermione nodded, waiting for her to go on. "Draco said he thought I could help get the two of you back together again". Hermione did a pretty good imitation of Ron's goldfish expression but Ginny had not finished. "He loves you, you know" Ginny told her.
A small smile graced Hermione's lips when this was said. "I know" looking up at Ginny she added, "if I'm not back by lunch cover for me". Then without waiting for a reply she bolted through the door and sprinted down the hallway. Behind her Ginny rolled her eyes.
Strolling towards his potions class, Draco silently smirked to himself thinking about Hermione's book. 'Things are looking good'. Seeing Blaise harassing some third years he made his way over to them. Eyeing the cowardly third years he said "shouldn't you be in class" he smirked "50 points………from each of you"
"I sometimes think you take this Head Boy thing to extremely" Blaise commented turning around to look at him.
Draco smirked again. "You're only jealous" he shot back, continuing with his walking to class.
"And you're walking with a skip in your step" Blaise observed. Narrowing his eyes, he started counting things off on his fingers. "Ha I've got it! First you actually come over here to speak to me, then you went easy on the third years because you normally take off 75 points from the Hufflepuffs. And then even more surprisingly you are walking with a little SKIP. It all leads to one conclusion… that you're getting somewhere with Granger".
About to reply Draco opened his mouth but a sprinting Gryffindor coming towards them made him quickly shut it.
