Chapter 17

Intermission

" There will be a 15 minuet intermission starting now. You can buy treats from Honeydukes in the lobby." Said the announcer after the first act.

Hermione had to go get changed in her dressing room right after the first act so she didn't have time to talk to Harry or Ron about what was going on. She highly doubted that they even noticed. All of the sudden there was a knock at the door, actually it would be more like a bang.

"Hermione! Let us in!" yelled Ron from the other side of the door.

'I guess I was wrong' Hermione thought. She opened the door to come face to face with a very angry Harry and Ron.

"Hermione what was going on out there!" Harry said obviously frazzled.

"well…"

"If Malfoy did something to you just tell us and we'll get him back." Ron said pulling out his wand.

"Guys…"

"Yes I agree with Ron we'll get him for whatever…"

"GUYS!" Hermione yelled cutting Harry off. "Draco didn't do anything to me except…"

"I knew it!" Ron interrupted.

"Shut up Ronald." Hermione said flatly "The only thing Draco did was be my friend."

"It looked like you we're more then just friends up there on stage." Harry mumbled.

"We are." Hermione said looking down at her navy blue pumps.

"WHAT!" Harry and Ron yelled in unison.

"He has changed. He's different now."

"Hermione" Harry said calmly, "He's a Malfoy, he can't change."

"But Harry he has." Hermione said pleadingly.

"I'm gonna kill that little Ferret piece of…"

Ron was thankfully cut off by a knock at the door.

"Hermione?" Draco's voice was heard through the door. The door open and Draco entered holding a couple dozen roses that enabled him to see that clearly.

"You! Ferret boy!" Ron said coming forward and taking out his wand. Ron started to mutter a curse spell.

"NO!" Hermione said jumping in front of Ron's wand. "You can't do this Ron" she said tears running down her face "I love him."

"Put down the wand Ron." Harry said quietly. Ron shoved his wand and stormed out of the room. Harry gave Hermione a hug and then told Draco that he better not screw up before going after Ron.

Draco held Hermione and promised that everything would be okay.
