For the next couple days at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the Slytherin's were glaring at Draco, and the Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff's, and Ravenclaw's were all glaring at Hermione. The Gryffindor's isn;t even want to sit next to her. She ate and left. She didn't even want to answer questions that she knew in class.
Draco on the other hand, didn't mind he was getting ignored by everyone. He didn't answer questions in class anyway. But, he wasn't smirking everywhere he went anymore.
"Professor Dumbledore, have you noticed that the school is ignoring Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy since they kissed? Even Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley are ignoring her," McGonagall whispered to Dumbledore during lunch one day.
"Yes, it's horrible," said Dumbledore. "Come on, get the Head of Houses together and let's go to my office."
McGonagall gathered the Head of houses and went to Dumbledore's office.
"Can you believe the way these kids are acting? It's so childish," said Professor Sprout.
"It's so wrong," squeaked Professor Flitwick.
"They need their own table. Starting tomorrow, they sit next to us," said Dumbledore.
"Ok," said all the Heads.
The next day, Dumbledore set up a table enough for two.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, come here," said Dumbledore when they came into the Great Hall.
"Yes, professor," said Hermione.
"For the rest of the year, you'll sit here?" Dumbledore said, waving a hand to the little table.
"Thanks professor," said Draco.
"The Head of Houses and I have noticed that the whole school has turned on you since Halloween," said Dumbledore. They nodded.
"People are so cruel," said Hermione.
"Some are," said Dumbledore. "Well, breakfast is about to start." He went and sat down in his chair.
"He's a great man," said Hermione. "I was getting lonely at my table."
"So was I," said Draco.
"I don't think the meeting will go well today," said Hermione.
"Nope," said Draco.
"Come on Ron!" said Harry. "We're going to miss breakfast."
"I need to finish this essay," said Ron. "It's due today."
"Why didn't you do it yesterday?" asked Harry.
"I miss her Harry," said Ron. "I couldn't do it."
"You miss her? She didn't push away from Malfoy," said Harry.
"Harry, we can't stay mad at her forever," said Ron. When they got to the Great Hall.
"You can't, but I can," said Harry.
"You're jealous. She broke up with you last year, and now you're jealous," said Ron.
"I will never be jealous of Malfoy. And don't forget, she went out with you and broke up with you too," said Harry.
"I know that, and I still like her," said Ron. "That's why I miss her."
"To tell you the truth I miss her too," said Harry. "But right now, I don't want to miss her."
"What if she does start dating Malfoy?" asked Ron.
"She's not that stupid," said Harry. "But, I think she might."
"Look, they got their own table," said Ron.
"Look, they're laughing," said Harry.
"If you two miss her, then tell her you're sorry," said Ginny, making them jump. "I thought you two would value friendship over relationships."
"She needs to say sorry to us," said Harry.
"For something she had no control of?" said Ginny.
"She could have pulled away," said Ron.
"Whatever," said Ginny. She walked away.
"Do think hell will break out during the meeting?" Draco asked later that night; about an hour before the meeting.
"I don't even think there'll be a meeting," said Hermione.
An hour later they got up and swept through the portrait of Padma, Justin, and Ginny. The real Padma, Justin, and Ginny were waiting on the couch.
"Hello, so first order of business, Hogsmead," said Draco.
"Ginny, have your finished the dates yet?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah, I got six lists so we can hang them in the house common room and in here and in your common room," said Ginny. "Instead of just posting the next date, I put all the dates."
"Great, let's go hang them up," said Hermione.
"You hang it in the Gryffindor common room," said Ginny.
"No, I'll hang them in here," said Hermione. ?You do it.?
"Fine," Ginny said going through the portrait. Hermione hung up the dates in the prefects" common room and hers and Draco's common room.
"You guys aren't mad at us, are you?" asked Hermione when everyone got back.
"No, we can't be mad at you," said Ginny. She gave Hermione and Draco a hug. Padma and Justin came over and joined the hug. Draco felt uncomfortable with the hugging, but didn't protest. At least the entire school wasn't mad at him, just four out of a whole bunch.
"Ok, thanks guys," said Hermione. They went on talking about Christmas stuff.
"Well, good night," said Hermione an hour later. Her and Draco went to their common room.
"Well, that went well," said Draco.
"It did, at least everyone's not mad at us," said Hermione. "I just wish Harry and Ron weren't mad at me."
"It's their loss," Draco said kissing her.
"I know," smiled Hermione.
