Chapter 7…
Hermione Granger slumped into a seat at the Great Hall. "Hey, 'Mione," Harry greeted her. He kissed her on the check hesitantly and burst into a grin when Hermione found his hand from underneath the table.
"E-oh, er-i nee. Ut ok song?" Ron mumbled, his mouth filled with chicken. Hermione scowled at his bad manners. When he finally managed to swallow, he repeated, "Hello, Hermione. What took you so long?"
"I, um, had some business to take care of. Pass the mashed potatoes, please," she said quickly, changing the subject. Dean Thomas handed the bowl over.
"So, I was thinking that we could visit Hagrid today. He sent Hedwig and said that he had something to show us," Harry suggested. Hermione nodded eagerly, but Ron shook his head.
"Something to show us? Do you remember Norbert? Aragog? Blast-ended Skrewts? Grawp?" he reminded them. Hermione shudded, but Harry smirked and said,
"Grawp was cute. 'Member 'Hermy'?" he teased affectionatly. Hermione rolled her eyes but smiled. "But still. Buckbeak was fairly decent. And what if it's something important?" Harry argued, becoming serious again.
"Fine…" Ron grudgingly agreed. "But if there's any sign of a wild creature, I'm leaving." Hermione was about to remark to that when she caught sight of Draco Malfoy sitting down at the table. Her eyes stung with new tears. It's like I'm cheating on Harry. Sheesh, I think I'm using him just to make Draco jealous. God, not to mention that I had the strongest urge to kiss Malfoy after Transfiguration. I think I'm really using Harry. But I can't break up with him. It'd break his heart, not to mention what will happen when he finds out that I dumped him for Malfoy.
"Hermione? Are you okay?" Harry asked. Hermione blinked and nodded slowly. She pulled her hand out of his rapidly. "Come one, let's leave. It's too… crowded in here," Harry hinted, winking at her. Without even realizing it, Hermione got up to follow him.
Harry stopped in the middle of the stairs. He roughly pushed her against the railing and began to kiss her. Hermione found herself unable to resist, when somebody cleared their throat.
"Ahem. That'll be ten points from Gryffindor for kissing in the hallways. If I ever see that again, it will be twenty," Draco Malfoy said, a smirk on his face. Harry reluctantly backed away from Hermione.
"Listen, I have something to do. I'll meet you at Hagrid's at 4:30, okay?" she absent-mindedly said. She watched him go before marching to her dorm. Draco followed suit.
"Sit, Granger," he ordered the minute they arrived inside the dorm. To his surprise, Hermione agreed without a fight. He flicked his wand and a tray floated over. Draco handed her a cup. "Drink the tea," he commanded.
Hermione slowly sipped the liquid. Suddenly, her insides began burning. She felt as if she had no control over her body.
"So, on a scale from one through ten, how would you rate scar-head's kisses?" Draco questioned smugly.
"None of your business," Hermione began, but instead, her mouth began struggling. She couldn't say what she wanted to. Instead, she heard herself answered, "F-four."
Draco let out a cackle. "V-verasitum!" she gasped. Draco nodded, and his smile spread over his face even more.
"So. On a scale from one through ten, how would you rate my kisses. Surely better than Potter's, right?" he remarked, grinning. Hermione fought against the potion.
"One…" she choked out, but the potion did it's magic and she ended up adding weakly, "Nine." Draco smiled, but Hermione scowled.
The next minute, Draco was on top of her, his lips pressed firmly against hers. He nibbled on her lower lip playfully and rolled over so that she was on top.
All of a sudden, the door to their dorm opened. "It's almost 5:00, so I came to check on," a voice began. There was a gasp, and Hermione yanked herself off of Draco. To her horror, Harry was standing there, gaping. He turned slightly red, and then purple. Draco, trying to look innocent, howled,
"Eww! Mudblood! You kissed me! The next time you attack me and start kissing me like that, I'll tell Snape!"
"You… You cheated on me!" Harry exclaimed. Hermione shook her head earnestly, her eyes wide with fear.
"No, I didn't! I swear, Malfoy jumped on me first!" she protested, but Harry narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"Well, if that were true, it didn't look like you were putting up much of a fight. I'll see you later, Hermione," he said coldly, slamming the door shut. Draco laughed and then strolled into his room casually. Hermione slunk onto the couch, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Do
you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of
place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one
understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself
in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one
hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When
nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be
like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the
dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been
pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's
there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to
my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of
feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something
more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you
hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake
smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No
you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You
don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To
feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're
down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge
of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't
know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied
straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You
might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always
gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You
don't know what it's like, what it's like
To be hurt
To
feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're
down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge
of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't
know what it's like (what it's like)
To be hurt
To feel
lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're
down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge
of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't
know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my
life
Welcome to my life
A/N: Once again, I thought that this song expressed how Hermione is feeling right now. This song, for those of you who don't know, is Simple Plan's "Welcome to My Life". I LOVE THIS SONG! GO SIMPLE PLAN!
