Christmas break came and went. Soon we found ourselves two weeks into second term. Hermione and I have been having problems. I thought about what happened at the meeting and what those people are capable of and realized that I can't keep risking her life. I needed to tell her about what happened because she needs to know so she can keep her guard up. I was heading toward the common room, I just got finished patrolling. I had duty by myself tonight. When I reached the room, Hermione was no where insight. I saw that my bedroom door was open and the light on. What I saw when I walked into the room only made me wanted me to wait until tomorrow to tell her what happened at the Death Eater meeting. There she was lying on her stomach completely naked, with her elbows propping her head up. I wish I only knew where this sexy, seductive Hermione came from.

" Where have you been all day?" She asked.

I shrugged my shoulders making my way over to my trunk. I opened it and picked out a pair of green pajama pants. " I had to patrol you know that." I said while taking my robe off.

Hermione got on her hands and knees and crawled over to where I was standing at the end of the bed. She sat on her feet, giving me a full view of her and started unbuttoning my shirt. " I know but where were you before, I was looking for you."

" I had a lot of homework to do. I was in the library." I told her. For some reason I could tell something was bothering her. Her eyes didn't have their normal sparkle. " What's wrong?"

She gave me a fake smile, " Nothing." Her hands continued unbuttoning my shirt. It wasn't until I felt her hands on my belt that I stopped her.

" Don't lie." I said backing away from her. " You're not telling me something."

Hermione shook her head. " Touch me." She grabbed my hand and pulled it toward her skin, but I pulled away last minute.

" No." I said walking away from her. When I looked back, tears coming from her eyes. " What are you crying for?" I was getting irritated. Lately I couldn't say anything to her without her starting to cry. She crossed her arm on her breasts, got off my bed and ran from the room. Letting out a heavy sigh I followed her into her own room. She had no where to go, so she just stood there with her back to me crying. " Look I'm sorry. But I need to talk to you about something."

" You don't look at me anymore." I could barley hear her. She was talking so quite.

" What are you talking about?" I played stupid. I did have a small idea of what she was talking about. Ever sense the meeting I stopped looking at her and talking to her in public places. I didn't want anyone to catch me. I have also been avoiding her a little bit, but it was only because I have been trying to figure out how to deal with this situation.

" You don't talk to me any more either." She added sadly.

I smirked walking over to her, " That's because we find other things to fill our time with." I let my hand run down the front of her body. I felt her shiver under my touch.

" When we make love it's like you're not even there." She started to cry again. I pulled her into a hug. I didn't know having a girlfriend was this much work. But I guess we don't exactly have a normal relationship.

" I need to tell you something." I picked her up and carried her over to the bed. When she was seated, I pulled the covers down to cover her. " I lied to you about what happened at that meeting."

She looked up at me, " What do you mean?"

" I was beaten because they know about you Hermione." I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to me.

" What did you tell them?" She asked. Looking at me with worried eyes.

I took a deep breath. " That's not important. What is important is that they believed me and I am lucky to have gotten off with just a beating."

" What did you tell them?" She asked, again this time with more force. " I want to know what you said."

" Hermione that's . . . "

" Tell me! I just want to know." She yelled out.

I took a deep breath. " I lied, I told them you were shit to me, that you were a good fuck. God Hermione, why do you have to push me. I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you might get upset about it." I yelled, " I sure as hell didn't tell them I loved you. That would have gotten me killed . . . gotten you killed."

" Oh." After all that, that's all she can come up with . . . oh.

" I think maybe for your own safety we should stop this. I realized I would rather be away from you and know you are safe, then be with you now and some day lose you all together." As corny as it sounded, it was the truth. I didn't want to give her up, if it kept her safe then so be it.

" No." She pulled away from me. " No. You can't do this." She said. She grabbed cloths from her floor and put them on. " I will not let you."

I stood up from the bed, " You can't stop me."

She started crying again. " No! How can you do this to me?" I could barley hear her. She was crying so hard. " If you were going to just give up like this, then why couldn't you just let me hate you like before. Why? Why would you does this to me." She came over and started punching me in the chest and slapping me. I let her hit me until she had nothing left in her, I deserved it.

" If you are going to leave me after all this. Then I never want to speak to you again. Don't even come near me. I don't want to have anything to do with you. You stupid . . . "

" Don't say that Hermione." I tried to grab her hand, but she wouldn't let me.

" I am willing to give you everything. I am willing to risk my life to be with you. How many girls do you think would do that for someone like you. I fell in love with a person who has no heart and I am ok with that." Her voice got quite again. " Why can't you just except that?"

I needed to get away from her. Though I wanted to keep her out of danger, I didn't want to lose her all together. I needed her, things just got out of control. " I need to think this over again." I said walking over to her, I gave her a kiss on the forehead and walked out of her room. I went into my own room. Tonight defiantly did not go the way I planned it to. I am so confused. I don't know what is right and wrong anymore. Some times wish I had never slept with her in the first place. But in a way I am glad I did. She's thought me so many things. But would that be worth possibly losing her.

A/N: This chapter is defiantly not my favorite. I also just realized I haven't been putting any kink in my story lately. I might have to fix that. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think. I know it's short and I am sorry. Thanks for all the reviews. I am hoping to see a lot more then what I have been getting. I know there is a lot more then five people reading it!
