Chapter 7- Aligned Planets
Hermione remembered what happened last night.
'Why would Harry do something like that? Harry would never… would never… he just wouldn't do that, I know he wouldn't,' she though getting up. There was a knock on her door.
"Come in," Hermione called.
It was Draco.
"Mi, you ok?"
"Nope."
"Was it because of last night?"
"Gee, does it show? Of course it was. Ginny's going to be all happy with Harry and she doesn't even know!"
There was silence.
"Draco, please don't tell Ginny. She doesn't really like you, so she wouldn't believe you."
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
She shrugged. "Unless she brings up the 'Have-You-Noticed-Anything-Weird-With-Harry-Lately' subject, I'm not saying anything. And promise you won't either!"
"I promise."
(Care of Magical Creatures…)
(A/N- Notice how I have their classes out of order… but OH WELL!)
"Ok, class, everyone open their books to page 342," Hagrid said. "And grab one of these." He held up a thick-leaf like animal.
"Water stones?" Hermione said when she read the top of 342. "Ew, those things are disgusting."
"You want me to get the… thing?" Draco asked her. Hermione nodded.
He came back with the water stone on a tray. Hermione was reading.
"Hey, Mi."
"What?"
"Check this out."
"What?" she looked up and Draco was holding the water stone in front of her face. "EW!" she cried. The water stone was dead, however, but its face was plain out ugly.
(A/N- I'm bad with descriptions! Sorry!)
"Hello, Hermione," Draco said, in a high voice, prentending to be the water stone, "Kiss me."
"Draco that is NOT funny!" she yelled at him.
"I think it is!" Draco laughed.
"Ok, now," Hagrid said, "we will be dissecting these today, which means that you are going to cut them open. If you start feeling sick, the woods are that way." He pointed to the Forbidden Forest, which was right next to them.
"I am NOT doing this, this is gross!" Hermione said. She looked around, and she noticed that she was the only one who found this gross. "I feel so bad for Brynn and Sarah."
"Who?" Draco asked.
"These two girls I meet over the summer when I went to America."
"Why do you feel bad for them?"
"They had to dissect stuff too."
"Like what?"
"A night crawler, clam, a mud puppy, a crayfish, and a bunch other stuff. Oh, and a grasshopper the size of a Tyrannosaurs Rex, but I think Brynn exaggerated with that." She watched Draco cut open the body, "That is so nasty, how can you stand that?"
Draco shrugged.
"Sarah told me that she was flipping out most of the time, and Brynn said that her partner had her do all the work. Especially with the grasshopper, her partner did nothing, expect help her with the parts. Oh and the mud puppy, she did no help to that too. She just cut off the arm and played with that while Brynn dissected it."
"Kind of like you?" Draco smiled.
"Shut up!" she laughed. "I just don't cut up things with a face."
"Like this?" Draco held up the face of the water stone in Hermione's face.
"DRACO!" she punched him in the arm, and several people turned their heads to face her because she shouted. "That is NOT funny!"
"Jeeze, Hermione, you hit like hell!"
"Not like you deserved it."
(A/N- OMG I'm laughing so hard right now! Sorry, my note! Please Continue!)
Hermione looked over to where Harry and Parkinson were working. They were laughing. Harry was laughing with Parkinson. 'This is getting really weird,' she thought. 'I really should tell Ginny, but I won't because Harry would know it was me.'
Once everyone had everything out of the water stone that they needed out, Hagrid came around and checked everyone's work. Although Hermione did nothing, she pointed out the things to Draco that had to be taken out. They got full marks.
(Lunch…)
"That was so disgusting, I'm not eating lunch today," Hermione said, talking with Harry and Ron as they made their way to the Great Hall. Hermione can't face Harry, not after what happened. They sat down at the Gryffindor table and Harry and Ron grabbed some food. Hermione was finishing up her essay for Snape. Then Ginny came.
"Hey guys," she said sitting down between Ron and Harry and giving Harry a kiss, "what's up?"
"We had to dissect these water stones in Care of Magical Creatures, Hermione found is disgusting," Ron told her.
"That's because it was!" Hermione said, not looking up from her paper.
"How come your not eating, Mi?"
"Because of the water stones, like Ron said, they were gross!"
Ginny laughed.
'You have to tell her, she needs to know the truth,' Hermione thought.
(The next day…)
"Hermione, we have to talk," Ginny said, after dinner.
"What's up?"
"Have you noticed anything weird with Harry lately?"
'Oh, great, now you HAVE to tell her,' Hermione thought.
"Well…"
"Uhh… Ginny?"
"What?"
"I really have no clue how to put this," she said.
"Oh shit, what is it!" Ginny asked her quickly.
"Ginny, just listen, I don't know all the facts, but I think Harry is… I think Harry is, well…"
"Don't tell me."
"Ok, then I won't."
"No, tell me!"
"Fine, but like I said, I could be wrong."
"WHAT!"
"I think Harry is cheating on you."
Ginny went silent.
"Ok, I'm sorry, I hallucinated. You said what now?"
"I'm sorry, Ginny."
"But why? What did I do?"
"Ginny, I don't know, but you really should talk to Harry."
Then Ginny broke down in tears.
"Ginny, I'm so sorry," Hermione said taking her into a hug.
"Ginny? Hermione?" a voice said.
They turned and saw Harry. Hermione glared at him.
"Hermione, what's wrong with Gin?"
"Like you don't know!" Ginny said, getting out of Hermione's grasp. She walked up to Harry and smacked him across the face. "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME!" she screamed at him. "I TRUSTED YOU! I loved you." And to that, Ginny ran away.
"Ginny, I…" he called after her, "Hermione what did you tell her?"
"What she should know. Harry, you of all people, why?"
"And why do you have to be in other people's business all the time? Is this a payback because Ron and I think there is something going on with you and your precious Draco?"
"There's nothing going on with me and Draco."
"Riiiight. What the hell did Ron mean that he walked in you two?"
"You wanna know! FINE! My mother died last year, and Draco's father died too. He was comforting me. Ok? He was being nice! Ron walked in on us when we were hugging! That is it!"
"Your mother died?"
"Yea, Harry, she did," Hermione said in an 'as-a-matter-of-fact' way.
"Mi, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Why didn't you tell us?"
"I don't know."
"Then what about that kiss?"
"It meant NOTHING! It was a trick to get rid f Parkinson. How many times do I have to tell you?"
"Ok, sorry."
"And, Harry, what are you doing to Ginny? You know as well as I do that she doesn't deserve that. She doesn't deserve to be treated like that."
"I know, Mi, but I just didn't want to hurt her."
"Jeeze, Harry, you are so stupid! You are still hurting her, whether I told her or not."
"Because Malfoy would of told her, right?"
"No, he promised me that he wouldn't tell her."
"Malfoy made a promise? Merlin, I'm shocked."
"Get over it, Harry."
"Hermione, please calm down."
"You know what, no, I'm not going to calm down. You just leave me and Ginny alone, and everything will be fine." And then Hermione walked away. 'What the hell is going on in the universe today? I like Draco, Harry and Parkinson like each other, Ginny hates Harry, I hate Harry, I don't know what's going on in Draco's head but he is acting freakishly friendly to me and I don't know why, and this night couldn't get any worse.'
She turned the corner.
'Damn, I spoke too soon.'
She saw Ron and Millicent Bulstrode making out.
"Ahem!" Hermione said loudly.
"Hermione, what are you doing?" Ron said.
"Funny, I should be asking you the same thing. What the hell is up with you and Harry lately?"
"What's going on with Harry?" Ron asked.
"You talk to him later, and I thought you were dating Britney."
"Oh, Britney and I broke up last weekend."
"Well I see that you have moved on quickly. You should get back to your common rooms now."
(At the Head's common room…)
Draco was sitting on the couch, reading and Hermione came in and she saw that her face was red.
"Mi, what's up?"
'OMG, don I have to answer?'
"Ginny is mad at Harry, I'm mad at Harry, Harry and Parkinson like each other, I like you, Ron was making out with Millicent Bulstrode, and this night couldn't get any worse," she told him.
"What did you say?"
"Ginny is mad at Harry…" she started again, but Draco interrupted.
"No, the other part."
"I'm mad at Harry?"
"No, after that."
"Ron was making out with Millicent Bulstrode?"
"Before that."
"Harry and Parkinson like each other?"
"After that."
"This night can't get any worse?"
"Before that."
"Then what?"
"The part where you said you like me."
"I said… I said that?"
"Yea, you did."
'Just like I said, this night CAN'T get any worse.'
"Draco, I'm sorry…"
"No, don't be." He said getting up from the couch.
"I gotta go," Hermione said quickly, but Draco pulled her arm back, and they were face to face.
"How long?"
"What are you talking about?"
"How long have you liked me?"
"Last year." She mumbled.
"Ok."
"And why are you being so nice to me. That is just so… not you."
"That's because I like you too."
'TOO MUCH INFORMATION IS BEING RELASED HERE!' Hermione thought.
"Draco, know for a fact we can never be."
"I know, but no one needs to know."
"I'll know, you'll know."
"Big deal. Mi, I really, really like you. You don't have to feel the same for me, I'll understand."
She couldn't stop herself. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. She practically fell over when Draco responded. He pulled her closer to him by wrapping his arms around her waist. They stood there, in the middle of the common room, licked by the lips, snogging, and were both lost in their thoughts.
