Disclaimer: I own nothing
Author's Note: sorry if it was too fast. See, what happened was that Harry got mad that Draco was getting all this attention, so he decided to try to get to the Lionosees, and have the Lionosees like him, but he accidentally shoved Draco (well, not really accidentally) and the Lionosees got mad and attacked Draco. Harry didn't mean to shove Draco so hard, and get the Lionosees angry. That is why he ran. Hope that explains it AAAHEVEILCHEESEMONKIES, andSoon2BeDirector. Also, Hermione-Granger-420 I would love some ideas. I am running out of them! Just so you know, this may be the second to the last chapter! Please review and give me ideas, and I may write more! Thanks!
Author's Note: It has been soooo long, and I am majorly sorry! I had major writers block! The next chapter will hopefully be updated sooner! Sorry!
Chapter Seven
Hermione was pacing back and forth in front of Draco's bed, in the hospital wing, when Harry came in. Hermione didn't notice him at first, and Harry thought about leaving, but a voice in his head told him to stay.
Just tell her what happened, Harry said to himself. This is Hermione. She will understand. Hopefully.
Harry cleared his throat . Hermione looked up in surprise, but when she saw Harry, she scowled.
"What do you want, Harry?" she said, icily. "You've done enough already."
"Look, I'm so, so sorry," Harry said. "I didn't mean to hurt him that bad. I swear."
"Just go away," Hermione said, looking away. Harry left the hospital wing. If he had stayed, he would have seen Hermione's tears.
Later That Night
Hermione stayed with Draco until she fell asleep in the chair next to his bed. Madame Pomfrey thought about making Hermione leave, but Hermione looked so peaceful, Madame Pomfrey left her there, and switched off the light. About 20 minutes after she left, Hermione stirred and woke up. She saw Draco sleeping. After giving him a kiss, she left the hospital wing. Thinking she was going to go to her room, Hermione let her feet do the walking. Without even noticing, she was outside the library. Careful so no one would hear her, she entered, and went over to a table in the corner. When she sat down, she noticed a big pile of books. Moving them over, Hermione saw Ginny sleeping, her mouth slightly opened. Hermione giggled, then shook her slightly to wake her up.
"What?" Ginny asked groggily, sitting up. She looked around wildly, but a smile found it's way onto her face when she saw Hermione. "You scared the living daylights out of me," she said. " I thought you were Filch, or Snape."
"I'm sorry," Hermione said. "I was with Draco, and I guess I ended up here."
"Oh, yeah, Ron told me what happened," Ginny said. "I cannot believe Harry would do something like that. Even though, when Ron told me, he made Draco seem like the bad guy," Ginny added, smiling. "Is he okay?"
"Yeah, I guess," Hermione said. "I still can't believe Harry would do that. Why?"
"Well, he does like you," Ginny said.
"I know." Hermione sighed. "What should I do?"
"I think you should talk to me before you do anything," came a voice. Hermione looked up and saw Ron leaning against one of the bookcases.
"I'm gone," Ginny said, grabbing her books and leaving. Ron sat down.
"Is there something going on between you and Malfoy?" he asked. "And be truthful."
Hermione sighed. "Yes," she said, finally. "Even though I wouldn't call it something major. Just a, I dunno."
"How long has this been going on for?"
"Well, see-"
"How long?"
"The second day after the start of school."
Ron stood up quickly, and his chair fell backwards. "Why didn't you just tell me?"
"I knew that you would hate me. In the beginning, I didn't even think of it as anything, just Draco being Draco, but once I started really liking him, it just….."
"Does this mean we should break up?" Ron asked.
"I dunno," Hermione said. "Do you want to?"
"Will it ruin our friendship?"
"It might," Hermione said. "But we are mature, and we should be able to still be friends, even though I will be dating your enemy."
"What if you two break up?" Ron asked.
"Then we break up," Hermione said. "It would be just like I was dating someone else. And hopefully, you and I will be able to be friends if Draco and I break up. It may be hard on me, but oh, well."
Ron sighed. "Well, then, I guess, we should, well, break up."
"All right," Hermione said. She stood up, and gave Ron a hug and a kiss, then left the library.
Ron hit the table with his fist, then rested his head on his arms.
The Next Day
"We did it," Hermione said to Ginny in her room.
"Did what?" Ginny asked.
"Ron and I broke up."
"No," Ginny said, in amazement. "How?"
"Well, after you left, we talked, and decided it would be best that we were just friends. He isn't exactly happy about it, but he knows that this means a lot to me."
"What about you and Harry?"
Hermione sighed. "We still haven't made up. I don't know why, either. I mean, I could easily talk to him about it, but I always thought that Ron would be the one to blow up. I guess I was just surprised."
"How is Malfoy?"
"I'm actually not sure." Hermione laughed. "I meant to check on him this morning, but with classes, and trying to avoid Harry and Ron, and I guess I was trying so hard to forget about it, I dunno."
"Come on," Ginny said, standing up.
"Where are you going?" Hermione said, standing up, and following Ginny.
"It's a secret," Ginny said. She led Hermione out of the Gryffindor common room, down the corridor, all the way to the hospital wing. "Since you didn't get to see Malfoy this morning, we will see him right now." Ginny pushed open the door, and led Hermione to Draco's bed. He was up, eating some bread. "I leave you two alone." Ginny left.
Hermione pulled up a chair, and sat down next to his bed. "How are you?" she asked.
"I'm okay," Draco said, with a weak smile.
"I am so sorry about what Harry did," Hermione said. "He, kind of , well, likes me, and I guess he got jealous. I seriously thought that Ron would be the one to attack you, but I guess not. Oh, Ron and I are broken up," she added.
"Not because of me?" Draco asked, sitting up.
"Well, yeah," Hermione admitted. "But I think we were going to break up soon enough. So, don't worry."
"I still want to talk to Weas- I mean, Ron," Draco corrected himself, after the look from Hermione.
"Why must you guys call each other by your last names?" Hermione asked. "Why can't you be civilized, and call each other 'Draco' and 'Ron'?"
"I dunno," Draco said. "I guess it is just habit. But I do want to talk to him. I don't want him to think that I am going to turn you bad, or anything."
"I don't think that," came a voice. Ron stepped out from the shadows. "I think she can turn bad on her own."
Hermione stood up, and gave Ron a quick hug, then looked at Draco. " I am not sure if I should leave you two alone, but I will." And then she left.
Dinner
Hermione entered the Great Hall that night for dinner, and looked around. She spotted Ginny, and was about to walk over to her, when she noticed that Ginny was sitting next to Harry. She smiled at Ginny, who waved, then Hermione slid into the seat next to Lavender Brown, who was talking to Dean Thomas.
About ten minutes into dinner, the door opened, and Hermione looked up. Ron and Draco entered together and shook hands before separating. Ron plopped down next to Hermione.
"How did it go?" Hermione asked.
"It was okay," Ron said. "He isn't really that bad. We actually agreed on something."
"And what was that?" Hermione asked smiling, and taking some pumpkin juice.
"That you and Harry should make up."
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Look, this fight is, well, not good for you. Just make up. Why can't you do that?"
"Because I am afraid he won't want to make up." Hermione sighed. "He is my best friend, and I really love him, but I don't want to embarrass myself by making up, and him not wanting to."
"Well, you might have to now," Ron said. "Harry is coming this way."
Hermione turned around and saw Harry walking towards them, but when she turned back around, she saw Draco coming over, too.

I hope you like it! I don't know if that was really a cliff hanger, but I needed to end the chapter some how. I will try to update sooner, but I had a major writers block. Sorry! Hope you like it.
