A/N: Hey, another chapter just for you guys. I have a most of the story hand written out already, I just have to find time to type it up.
Chapter 8: Boys Will Be Boys
I woke up the next morning and realized that last night had been amazing. Why oh why did I stop him before? I asked myself. I began to get up and get a shower when strong arms wrapped around me.
"Morning sweetheart." I said.
"Morning," he mumbled, "Why are you getting up?"
"Because I need to talk to Ginny."
"What are you gonna tell her about your wonderful night with Draco Malfoy?"
"Maybe so." I quickly got up and slipped into the bathroom, but forgot to lock the door (something I would regret later). I turned on the shower and stepped in, no need to get undressed, I already am. I was busy singing with the radio Dumbledore spelled so I could use it, and did not hear the door open.
All of a sudden Draco stepped in and startled me, "What are you listening to?"
"Evanescence, why do you have a problem with it?"
"No I like it I was just wondering."
"Whatever, out."
"No."
"Please
get out."
"No."
"Please."
"Maybe."
"What do I have to
do?"
"I can think of many things."
"Draco." I said warningly.
"Give me a kiss."
"No."
"I won't beg. I'll just steal one."
"No you won't."
"Oh really, and why not?"
"Do you want sex anytime soon?"
"Damn you know me too well."
"That's the point, now out."
"Fine, but I'll get you back for this."
"Oh, I'm so scared." He turned and left and I finished my shower. When I got out I went to my room and got dressed. I picked my favorite pair of jeans, they laced up the front, and my white ¾ sleeve v-neck, and then walked down to the common room. I grabbed my black three inch heels and ran up to Draco's room to give him a kiss goodbye, but he wasn't there so I just left.
As I was walking down the hallway, I noticed that I was getting a lot of weird stares. I wondered what was going on, but kept walking until I reached the Gryffindor Common Room. When I got there I found Ginny and sat down to talk with her.
"Hey, Ginny." I said.
"Hey 'Mione."
"What's wrong?"
"Oh… um… well…"
"Ginny, what is it?"
"Have you seen the most recent copy of Witch Weekly?"
"No."
"Oh, that's why you're still smiling. Here." Ginny handed me the magazine.
"What is it?"
"Just look at it." I did. There on the front cover was a picture of Draco and me last night in the Heads Common Room. Where I was putting his hands at the top of my skirt and saying 'I'm not a virgin.' I didn't even know what to say.
"I'm gonna kill him." I whispered.
"Draco didn't submit those pics. Look at the bottom." I did it said pictures taken and submitted by
"Ronald Weasley. I'm gonna kill him with my bare hands, no wand required. How'd he get in anyway? I have to go Ginny."
"Wait, first I wanna know since I'm your friend, did you do it?"
"Yes, now I've gotta go." I ran out and down to the Great Hall. There sat Draco at the head of the Slytherin table. I ran over to him.
"Draco, I need to talk to you."
"Ok, talk."
"No, out in the hall please."
"Alright." He got up quickly and we went out to the hall. "Now what is it? What's wrong?" he looked really worried. I just handed him the magazine. "Oh my god. Who would do this?"
"Look down. What I would like to know is how he got in to take the pictures."
"Pictures?"
"Yeah, there's more inside. The more intimate parts."
"Have you gone to Dumbledore yet?"
"No, I wanted to come to you first. Oh, Draco." I fell into his arms.
"Shhh … it'll be ok. Come on, let's go see Dumbledore." He carried me to Dumbledore's office. "Professor Dumbledore, are you here?" he called out as he set me down in a chair.
"Yes Mr. Malfoy, I'll be there in a moment." He walked in, "Now what is it that you need?"
"You need to see this." Draco handed him the magazine.
"Oh yes, I've already seen and confiscated many. I would have expected better of my students. The one who did this has detentions for a month. And if anything happens from here on out, he will be expelled. That is all I can do. Miss granger, are you alright? You look a little pale."
"I'm fine. It's just my reputation is ruined. The one I worked so hard for. I want to know how he got in there to take the pictures."
"I'm allowed to kick Ron's ass right?"
"Mr. Malfoy, watch your language." Then he whispered, "Yes, I'll inform the teacher's, but only once. As long as that's ok with you Miss Granger."
"That's fine, he deserves it."
"Great, I'm gonna have fun." Draco went to leave.
"Wait. Let me inform the teacher's first." He then sent a wand message (A/N: I couldn't think of anything else.) to all the teachers. "Alright you can go now."
"Wait for me Draco, I want to see this." Draco and I ran out of Dumbledore's office. And off to find Ron. We found him in the main hallway.
"Oy, Ron." I yelled.
"Oh no. He then started to run off towards Gryffindor tower.
"Don't think so. Immobulus." I yelled.
"'Mione unfreeze him it's no fun if he's frozen." Draco said.
"Ok, I just didn't want him to get away." I drug him closer to us and unfroze him. As soon as I did Draco punched him knocking him to the ground.
"Wait a second; it's not what you think." Ron said.
"Oh, really, I think it's exactly what I think." Draco then kicked him.
"Wait please let me explain." He begged.
I looked at Draco and then Ron, "Talk."
"But, Hermione…" Draco said.
"I want to hear what he has to say." Ron shakily stood up.
"You have to understand. I was really angry I men we had just broken up last year and already you were dating this piece of filth…"
"Ron, you better be making your point soon."
"Well, I loved you. You were the one to break up with me and I loved you. I was going to try and get back together with you this year, but I never got the chance."
"How did you get in?"
"I borrowed Harry's invisibility cloak and waited for you guys to come back from the ball."
"Why? If you wanted, so badly, to get back together with me, why'd you do it?"
"I don't know, I just don't know."
"Draco, by all means, continue." Draco beat Ron within an inch of his life and then we left. By the time Draco was done, a crowd had formed around us. When we left, Harry rushed forward to take him to the Hospital Wing.
