Disclaimer: I do not own anyone of anything that I write about. Only the slightly existent plot.

Story Talk; So I am not exactly sure where I am going with this. I just was reading and decided I wanted to write a fic in which Draco is dating Hermione and ends up with Harry, but that's about it. I am thinking about making it a Veela fic. However I may not. I am really not sure. So give your input if you would like anything to help me decide and I will consider it.

Chapter One

Hermione's love.

"Harry, Ron can I talk to you guys for a moment?" Hermione asked when she spotted her best friends sitting in the common room.

"Yeah sure." Harry replied jumping up.

"Actually I'm kinda busy, so I'll stay here." Ron said turning back to Dean and Seamus, who sent Hermione sorrow-filled looks.

Harry shook his head at Ron. The redhead had been nothing short of absolutely horrible to Hermione since she broke up with him three weeks ago. It was breaking Hermione's heart to have Ron acting like this. Yes she ended it and she didn't love him the way she thought she did, but Ron was like her brother. Now he didn't even care about her.

Harry looked over to Hermione to see her eyes brimming with tears.

"Hermione just ignore him. He's being an ass." Harry said putting his arm around her.

"I know it's just . . . I miss him Harry. I miss being his friend and I don't think he's going to come around and-" a sob escaped Hermione's mouth leaving her unable to talk. Harry's heart dropped for her and he wrapped his arms around her shoulders hoping his hug would bring her some comfort. Hermione returned the hug and rested her head on his Harry's chest.

"You know if you are going to make a move on my ex you could at least do it where I can't see you." Ron called from behind them. Harry released Hermione and spun around. He walked up to Ron so that he wouldn't be heard by the whole common room.

"Ron if you think that I would do anything with Hermione when you are so obviously not over her you do not know me at all. Not to mention you know that I am gay. I told you months ago."

"Yeah I'm sure you are. And I am sure that you weren't the person Hermione was going to see while we were dating."

"You're kidding right? Do you honestly think that I would hurt you? You're my best friend."

"I didn't think that, but now I see it." Ron replied throwing down his cards.

"Well you must be blind." With that Harry turned and walked toward Hermione who was looking rather pale. "Ron when you grow up a bit and realized how stupid you're being we'll talk until then stay the fuck away from me." Harry then grabbed Hermione's hand and led her out of the common room before Ron could speak.

"I'm sorry that I started that for nothing."

"It wasn't for nothing you said you needed to talk." Hermione's eyes held vulnerability as she looked at Harry. She bit her lip and looked down.

"I don't think I should tell you."

"Why?" Harry stopped walking and turned to completely face Hermione

"Ron being mad at me is bad enough you being mad at me too would be awful." Harry lifted Hermione's face to make her look at him.

"Hermione I can't promise that I won't be mad, but I can promise that I will not leave you and that I will accept whatever it is that you have to tell me. You can trust me."

"Okay, but can we go to your room to talk." Harry nodded and began to lead Harry away from the common room.

Harry had gotten his own room this year after Dumbledore got information that there was a spy in Gryffindor. The room wasn't far from the tower and Harry still hung out in the common room most of the time, but he had to stay the night in his own room. He hated it at first hated being so alone. Ron was partially right when he said that Hermione was with him when she disappeared. At night Hermione would sneak out and come stay with Harry, but Hermione snuck away to see another person. Ron was mad at Harry for awhile for not being mad at Hermione for cheating on him, but Harry knew she hadn't. Solely because Hermione said she hadn't. She admitted to going to see someone else, but she said that she never cheated on Ron. She also told Harry that the other person wasn't the only reason she left Ron. Harry had a feeling though that if it weren't for the other person Hermione would still be with Ron. The sad part was, Harry was glad the other person came along.

"Hermione Granger is the smartest, greatest, and most beautiful person alive. One day she will rule the world." Harry said making the portrait door open. "You know one day I will find out the password to change that." Harry said to a smiling Hermione.

"You know you deserve it. It took me a week to get that honey out of my hair."

"Yeah well I have had this stupid password for four, not to mention it was hilarious when you realized what you put in your hair. I think they heard you screaming in the Great Hall."

"First off that password is brilliant, second that was not funny at all and so not called for."

"I told you that if you told Nathan what I said I would get you back."

"You got a boyfriend." Hermione said as she sat down on Harry's couch.

"Yeah and outed to the whole school."

"It is not my fault he decided to kiss you in the middle of the great hall."

"No, but it's your fault he knew. Not to mention he didn't do anything for a week after you told him. He wouldn't even talk to me."

"That's because he needed time to think."

"I didn't know that then."

"It doesn't matter the point is it was uncalled for."

"No the point is you brought it upon yourself. Just like what I have planned for you next." Harry said that last with a cat who ate the canary smile.

"Harry James Potter if you do anything to me I will get you back so much worse."

"Tell me the password to change it and I won't do a thing." Hermione paused for a second.

"Fine, might as well kill two birds with one stone." She said, standing up. "Sit down." Harry listened and took the spot Hermione had abandoned. Hermione turned her back to Harry before speaking. "I like Draco."

"What?" Harry replied shocked. Hermione couldn't help but turn around to see his face.

"Please don't hate me. I don't know what hap-" Harry stood up and grabbed Hermione's hands cutting her off.

"Hermione I could never hate you. Is Malfoy the person you were seeing?" Hermione nodded.

"I promise though there was nothing between us before I broke up with Ron. Nothing until this week."

"I know." Harry gave Hermione a hug. "Just be careful okay?" Hermione nodded.

"I will."

"It's about time for dinner, do you want to go grab something to eat?"

"No. I don't want to deal with Ron right now."

"You want me to go grab something for us and bring it back up here."

"Yeah. I think some us time would be great."

"Even though we probably have more us time than we have time to ourselves." Hermione smiled.

"What are best friends for?" Harry shook his head at the comment.

"I'll be right back and my password better be changed before then."

"Fine."

Harry really didn't feel like dealing with Ron either. So he ended up going to the kitchens for food. Upon leaving he ran into Malfoy.

"Malfoy just the person I wanted to talk to." Malfoy's eyes widened when he saw Harry. "What are you doing down here?"

"Well I was attempting to avoid you and Weasley. So much for that plan."

"Well Ron isn't here if it makes you feel better."

"Nope, not really. You had something to say?"

"Yeah." Harry set down the basket that was holding his and Hermione's food.

"What do you want Potter?"

"Why are you dating Hermione?"

"Because." Draco replied crossing his arms across his chest.

"If you are using her to get to me don't. Here I am. You want to take me to Voldemort, take me I won't struggle, but do not hurt her to get to me."

"Don't flatter yourself Potter. I am with Hermione for Hermione. What do you think that she's not good enough to have someone actually like her?"

"No I think she's too good for you if anything. But if you really like her; if you're not just using her than I accept the relationship. However if you are using her to hurt me I will kill you. Do you understand?" Draco stared at Harry for awhile unsure of what to do; unable to believe what he had gotten himself into.

"Yeah, I understand."

"Good." With that Harry grabbed the food and walked down the hall. As soon as he turned the corner Draco slumped against the wall.

"Fuck."
