Chapter 1- The Big Breakup

Hermione Granger sat up in her seat after a long nap in History of Magic. Ron had poked her side to wake her up.
"Ms. Granger is there something the matter?" asked Professor Binns in his usual dreary voice.
"No sir, I'm sorry. Lack of sleep, I was doing extra research on- um, the- uh - the Middle Years."
"Was my lesson not enough?" Said Binns
"um- No! Of course not… I just thought it to be so incredibly interesting that I needed to know more--?"
Professor Binns nodded in approval and went on with his lesson.
"Thanks for the help…" whispered Hermione to Ron sarcastically
"well, what did you expect me to do?"
Hermione rolled her eyes. Ron had been her boyfriend since the beginning of the summer when she joined him and Harry at the Burrow. They have been having petty fights ever since they came back to Hogwarts two weeks ago.
"Hermione, we need to talk." whispered Ron
"um… ok – after class?"
"yeah, sure."
Hermione sat back in her chair and listened to Professor Binns talk about The Knights of Columbus and there magical meaning. The class was dismissed five minutes later and Ron grabbed Hermione's arm and lead her to a bench were Pansy Parkinson was sitting with a disgusted look on her face. Ron sat right next to her, which was extremely odd because as far as Hermione knew- Ron hated Pansy with a passion.
"Hermione… I don't think we're working."
"What…?"
"We… aren't meant to be. We just… don't click. Better friends. Got it?"
"So…" Hermione looked over at Pansy who was smiling evilly.
"Granger, we went a little crazy with the Butterbeer and had one awesome night a week ago, and ever since then we've been inseparable." Pansy interrupted.
Hermione ignored her thinking it was just Pansy being Pansy. But then Ron looked down at his feet in disappointment.
"Pansy… can you give us a minute?" Said Ron
Pansy gave Ron a flirty smile and left.
"Ron…what's going on?"
"You want the truth? Or the polite version?"
Ron Looked at Hermione with hopeful eyes for an answer, but she just stared. So her continued
" I've been cheating on you with Pansy for about a week now. We kind of had sex that night. I was drunk, and I swear, I'd take it back if I could! But she just controls me now practically! I Love you Hermione I really do! But, I just have to be with her. She's kind of grown on me, you know? …and I just… If you'd keep me-"
"Keep you?" Hermione questioned.
This had all been too much for her to take in. Her eyes were swelling with tears. None of this made since. Yeah, things have been kind of rough, but nothing that would make Hermione suspect this. She looked up at Ron and she shook her head and ran down the hall passing Pansy and Malfoy, and making sure she gave a good push to Pansy.
Hermione found a deserted classroom and ran in there and shut the door hard. She collapsed in the corner and broke-down.
How could he have done this to me? With PANSY! He doesn't love me. He doesn't even care for me. Things are NEVER going to be the same between the famous "Trio"' anymore. What was I thinking…? I need to talk to Harry-
Her Thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door open. Hermione looked up hoping it was Harry to talk to her, but instead she got Malfoy who made the same entrance as Hermione, but he looked up with red eyes and saw Hermione.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"said Malfoy
I'm sorry…?
"what do you want Malfoy?" Said Hermione in a cruel tone.
"no-nothing… just…" he trailed off as her walked out of the room. His voice sounded weak and he was looking pitiful.
Hermione felt kind of bad. She just realized that Draco was going out with Pansy at the time of the Ron/Pansy fiasco and when he saw then together when she was running, she was probably breaking up with him in the cruelest way possible. He was probley feeling the exact same as Hermione. But, since when did Draco have a heart anyway? But, the way he acted when he walked in… Hermione would apologize later. Draco and Hermione were Head boy and girl, and they shared a Common Room and everything. So, she'd try to talk to him then if she could. But in the mean time, she would sit and Wallow in the abandoned classroom of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
