Her is Chapter 6:

Chapter 6

Harry couldn't sleep; he tossed and turned unable to rid his mind of the picture of Draco's face. It had been filled with abuse and sadness, he was just a weak and hopeless person...so unlike his father.

"You al'right, mate?" Ron whispered to him from the bed to his left. Harry sat up and put on his glasses, the moonlight illuminating his weary face.

"Ye- No. No, I am not, Ron" he sighed. Ron sat up as well.

"Are you thinking about Hermione?" Ron asked suspiciously. Harry frowned,

"What makes you think I'm thinking about Mione, you dufus?" Ron's ears turned red, which was easily visible in the white moonlight. Harry's face relaxed,

"It's Malfoy, Ron" Ron's eyes widened up with panic.

"What about him? Did he beat you up?" His eyes searched on Harry's body for any bruises of cuts.

"No! It is not that, and it didn't happen. I think he will change." Ron tried to hold back a laugh as he scoffed, "Yeah right and I'm Neville...HA!" Harry frowned,

"C'mon, Ron. It's because of his dad that he is the way he is, he wants to change, and if you won't accept him, then I won't accept you." Ron looked angered.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You know exactly what I mean!" Harry took off his glasses and snuggled down into his feather bed. Then, he fell asleep dreaming of the blonde.

--------------------------------------------------

The next morning in the Great Hall, Harry sat down beside Hermione. As always, she was hidden behind a pile of books. Harry took one book off the stack to reveal her eyes. She looked up at him,

"What's up?" Harry was about to explain but instead, he put the book back on the pile to hide her once more.

"Oh, come on, Harry!" Hermione said snappily to Harry, removing the book so she could see him once more. Harry took a deep sigh, "To tell you the truth, I don't know."

"Oh, he knows. He's getting chummy with Malfoy!" Ron appeared beside Hermione. Hermione looked from Ron to Harry then to Ron, then her book in front of her,

"Don't you have anything to say, honey?" said Ron.

"No"

"What?"

"Are you deaf? I said 'no'. I'm not interfering this time, you two can work this out...it doesn't concern me."

"Yes, it does!"

"Oh really?" Hermione looked dangerous.

"We-Well, I thought it did, I mean...Malfoy called you a mudblood. Look at what he has done to us! He got us in trouble and-"

"RON! What is it with you? You just hate Malfoy because of those things, you're never taken the chance to really get to know him."

"Oh, I know who he is, a slimy, slithering-"

"Good bye!" Hermione gathered her books into her bag and carried the rest out of the Great Hall. Ron stared after her, then turned to Harry,

"You see what you've caused?"

"Shove it, Ron." Ron's ears and face turned red.

"Fine, be best friends with DRACO!" Ron yelled in his face. Malfoy heard his name and looked over at the Gryfinndor breakfast table.

Hermione thought to herself as she slowly walked to the library...was she falling for Draco? His face would be handsome if it wasn't always in a sneer. 'No, Ron is more handsome than Draco.' As Hermione thought.

"Look who it is, it's-err, Hermy..."

"Yeah...haha." Draco's bodyguards stood in front of her. The way they were acting towards her, made her feel uneasy. Hermione stood still, with all her books in her arms,

"Erm...hello." She attempted to walk around them but Goyle blocked her path with his huge body.

"Where're you going?" Crabbe dumbly repeated,

"Where're you going?" Hermione stared into their cruel eyes...she didn't have the chance to scream.

Oh my god, I didn't mean for Hermione but something has to happen! Don't worry, the next chapter will be better, I think, LOL. Thank you so much and please review!!!!
