A/N I do not own Harry Potter or any of the others :D
Please forgive for taking so long to update :(
As soon as the portrait swung closed,Ron turned to Harry to try and save the small piece of friendship they had left.He knew he was probably about to get his nose broken and yelled at until the cows came home,but he also knew he deserved it.
"Harry,I didn't mean to,it just sort of happened,I love her and it just kinda happened and...."
Ron was cut off short
"Ron I don't want to hear this right now" said Harry in a disturbingly calm voice that was unlike any part of Harry that Ron had ever seen
"I can't hear any of it right now"
"But Harry..."
"No Ron..I think it's best if I leave now.I need some time to think"
And with that,the raven haired ex-best friend of Ronald Weasley left the room without a sound
Ron stared blankly in confusion.
No yelling,no fight,no broken Weasley bones.This was the scariest thing that Ron had ever experience and he knew that this was not good at all.Every time he and Harry had fought over anything there was verbal and physical abuse thrown from both sides.Everytime this happened though,the pair quickly got over it.Neither fights nor screams could permanantly destroy their friendship,they always reconciled.But this time,none of these things happened.
A seriously painful thought then cane to Ron
'Perhaps this time Harry and I won't be able to patch things up'
With this thought of the loss of not only hermione but now also Harry,the red haired gryffindor wept.he wept with pure pain and suffering that he had never felt before
~Meanwhile~
Draco was feeling awkward.Very awkward.That was twice now that he had helped...her.twice he had helped someone he had hated all of his adolescent life.Twice he had saved the mudblood.
'But why do I hate her so much?' The blonde boy questioned himself as he opened the portrait door for the girl his thoughts were lingering on.He may or may not have heard her mumble a thankyou,he was too distracted.
'You know why you hate her.She's a mudblood' One voice in his mind said
'But so what?' Another voice replied
'Malfoys do not associate with mudbloods' The original and frnakly more snobbish stuck up voice retorted
"Oh yes of course" he replied sarcastically,unfortunately he also said it out loud
"Excuse me?" questioned the down trodden head girl
"Err...nothing" Draco quickly replied
'God she must think im insane.Not only that she must think i'm going soft,I can't let my reputation get ruined here.The rest of the school will think im a mudblood lover'
"Listen,Malf..I mean Draco,I just wanted to thankyou for what you did in there,you saved me again and I just want you to know I appreciate it" Hermione said softly to the blonde,her eyes cast down
"Well yes,thats alright but don't think its going to become a regular thing"
Hermione looked at the Slytherin,confusement in her eyes
Draco saw this.
"Well I can't risk my reputation here,people might think we're....together or something.I'm sure neither of us want nasty rumours like that spread,especially after that..err...dare tonight"
Hermione was about to open her mouth to remind him that it most certainly him,not her,continueing the kiss but Draco quickly stepped in again.
"Anyway it's late,i'm tired and shall go to bed.Goodnight."
And with that he turned around and headed quickly off to his room.
Hermione looked around confused
'Well,there goes the hope that there would be truce between us now.I know he helped me tonight and everything,but what a bastard.Bloody Malfoy pride.One moment he's all helpfull and acting like a human...well at least somewhat and then he goes all cold again.What is his problem?'
Hermione stamped her foot in frustration and threw her hands into the air
"Males!"
'Why do you care how he acts anyway?' asked a pesky little voice in her head
Hermione froze
'Me?Care?Who said i cared?I certainly didn't say I cared?Cause I don't!The little ferret can do what he likes and if he is going to act like an insufferable git then he can save himself the trouble of helping me next time.I could have managed without him anyway.Pff,I don't care at all' Every word of this was of course said unbelievably quickly
The annoying little voice knowingly smirked.Well,at least as best as a voice in ones head can smirk.Hermione chose to ignore this and headed towards her room.
~At the same time~
"What the bloody hell did I do that for?" Draco questioned himself as soon as he had closed his bedroom door
"Great,now i'm talking to myself"
'You're afraid of actually acting half decent towards someone for once in your life.Not to mention care for someone'
"Oh bugger off" Draco yelled at this voice "Me and Granger?Thats laughable"
'Oh yes,just like that kiss back there'
"Shut up you stupid inner voice"
'Either way,its too late now,you let your Malfoy pride rule,seems to happen a lot actually'
"Listen voice shut the hell up!I don't give a crap about bloody book work Granger.ll I did was help her out and thats it.I don't need to have anything else to do with her and I don't intend to.We're two very different people and weren't intended to get along."
The voice inside Draco's head gave up.It was his choice and he ad obviously made it.
