A/N: ahhh… I in awe of people who can actually update fast and write long chapters, probably because I can't. Anyway here's the next chapter for the people who are still reading this.
Draco turned his head and gave them both an icy glare, but it was Hermione who spoke. "Of course I'm going to forgive him, just as he's forgiven me."
Ron spluttered 'but, but…'
"No buts Ron, I forgive Draco and that's the end of it."
"But why" Harry started. "He's just a slimy Slytherin git and he was just using you" he finished, pointing towards Draco accusingly, as if he was going to chop her head off any second, so to stop him from doing this they insulted him, very good plan Mr. Potter.
"I thought we had already gone over this, I was using him as well just as he was using me and how could I not forgive him I love him." After blurting this out, Hermione covered her mouth at her mistake, hoping that they didn't catch her slip. 'No such luck' she thought bitterly when three questioning glances turned her way. 'Oh dear, Draco looks like he's going to faint' she chuckled.
Ron's and Harry's faces were both beetroot red, but Hermione ignored them and instead put all her attention to Draco. "You love me?" he asked, barely above audible.
"How could I not, Draco? And I know that you won't be able to return my feelings but-" Hermione was silenced by Draco, who raised a finger to her lips.
Draco laughed at her expression, "Hermione, I never thought this would be possible but you're wrong, I've loved you since the day we finished."
Ron opened his mouth to speak but Harry cut him off, knowing that he would only spoil the happiness the couple were experiencing. But Harry couldn't hold back he just had to be sure. "Hermione, how can you be so sure, after everything his done to you…" Harry trailed off.
"I just know Harry, you understand, don't you?" Hermione said rather uncertainly.
Just as Harry was about to reply, the dungeon door that belonged to Snape's classroom banged open. Snape calmly walked out, shutting the door on the curious faces of his students. "The end of the lesson is near, I would think it would be wise for you to go somewhere else when it is as to not be bombarded with questions."
Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione turned to leave wearing shocked expressions before Snape stopped them.
"And you will all be detention tonight, after dinner" he sneered at their backs while their expressions of shock turned into cringes.
"Yes Professor," they chorused.
While rushing in the direction of the Room Of Requirement, Ron and Harry considered Hermione's and Draco's relationship. Both of them coming to the same conclusion.
At midnight both Ron and Harry gathered around the Gryffindor fire, both checked for Hermione before they began speaking but they only saw a couple of first years doing their last minute homework.
"So what do you think we should do about them Harry" Ron said, excitedly, rubbing both his hands together.
"Ron I don't think we should interfere, they're happy together. And if he makes Hermione happy then so be it."
Ron signed, knowing Harry would probably think that he wanted to break them up. "I don't mean that Harry I think we should test him." Harry gave him a confused glance. "Well, you see they haven't told anyone else about them and I bet that's because of him, so I figure we should give him an ultimatum," Ron finished.
Harry smiled, "you know, Ron, I think that's a brilliant idea!"
By the way constructive criticism is welcome, review.
