Chapter Five:

The next day, Hermione was looking even worse than she had the day before, now that she had found out Harry's little secret. Of course, Ginny was the only one to notice it at breakfast the next day because Ron and Harry were deep in conversation about their latest Quidditch technique (Harry was the captain, and Ron was a chaser, yet he still helped Harry with coaching).

" 'Mione," Ginny whispered to Hermione when she sat down. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Gin," Hermione whispered. "It's just, after what you told me last night, I don't think I will ever be able to look Harry in the face again."

"I'm sorry," Ginny said.

"It's not your fault," Hermione said. "I think it is better you did tell me because if Harry tried to flirt with me, I wouldn't think he was crazy."

"Think who is crazy?" Harry asked. They had stopped talking about Quidditch, and only heard the last part of their conversation (thankfully).

"No one," Hermione said quickly, then looked at Ginny, who understood the look in Hermione's eyes, and kept her mouth shut.

"Whatever," Ron said. He stood up and gave Hermione a kiss, then said he had to go talk to Professor McGonagall about his homework.

Hermione smiled at Ron, but when she saw the look on Harry's face, the smile was instantly wiped from her face. She felt horrible.

Library

"Thanks for helping me with my Transfiguration homework," Ginny said to Hermione. They were in the library, sitting at one of the tables near the back for privacy.

"Hello, ladies," came the drawl of a male voice.

Hermione looked up, and, who should be there, but Malfoy. Hermione heard Ginny stifle a giggle, but Hermione's shooting eyes made her stop.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" Hermione said.

"Oh, nothing," he said. "I can come to the library, right? Actually, I was wondering if I could talk to you, Hermione, alone," he added, looking at Ginny.

Ginny looked at Hermione, who nodded. " I'll see you later," Ginny said, gathering her books. Draco sat down in Ginny's seat.

"Are you avoiding me?" Draco asked.

"Why would you ask that?" Hermione said.

"It just seems like you are. You wouldn't look at me in Potions, I've said hi to you in the halls, like, 20 times and you ignored me, and when we got paired up in Transfiguration, you wouldn't talk to me. What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Is Weasley being mean to you?" Draco asked. Hermione thought she could detect a hint of concern in his voice, but she just figured she had imagined it.

"No, Ron is wonderful," Hermione said. "But I don't think that he would like it if we were talking. So, I will see you back at the room." With that, she put her things in her bag, and left.

Sadly, though, Draco was right on her tail. He slipped his arm around Hermione's waist, but Hermione quickened her pace. Draco followed her. She turned the corner, and Draco grabbed her arm. He pushed her up against the wall, and looked into her eyes.

"What do you want from me?" Hermione asked.

"To say you love me," Draco whispered, then enveloped her into a kiss. Hermione, without even thinking, wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back, her shameful feelings pushed aside.

Little did they know that a female red head came around the corner and caught them, red handed.

Hallway the next day

" HERMIONE GRANGER!" Ginny stormed up to Hermione, who was talking to Lavender Brown. Hermione said bye to Lavender, then turned to Ginny.

"What's up?"

"How could you do that to Ron?" she practically hissed.

"What are you talking about?"

"Look, I know you and Malfoy kissed, but how could you let him?"

Hermione face went from confusing to terror to embarrassment.

"You saw?" Hermione asked in a small voice.

"Yes," Ginny hissed (A/N 'hissed' meaning she whispered, yet said it hissingly).

"Are you going to tell him?" Hermione asked in an even smaller voice.

Ginny sighed. "No," she said. "But only because Ron is my brother, and I don't want to see him hurt."

"Thank you," Hermione said, giving Ginny a hug.

"I won't tell him yet," Ginny said. "If you don't tell him soon, I will have to. I think he is already getting suspicious." Hermione's eyes widened in terror. "I think it would be safest for you to tell Malfoy your true feelings, and break it off with him. Whatever it is." Ginny walked away.

Hermione sighed. The only problem: were Hermione's feelings hatred or romance?

How is it? Please review, and give me ideas about how I should make Ron more suspicious. Also, if Hermione should break it off with Malfoy. Thanks!
