Well I've been updating on my other story and not this one so I think I'll make it up to you and make this one the longest of them all. OK? Ok… hehehe let me go on now. Also I was reading then my power went out so no internet connection so I thought.. Hell might as well right. (I have a laptop)

FLASHBACK:"Best Friends?" Harry asked.

"Friends.. We'll go from there." She answered

"Ok" Harry said going with the answer.

The walked inside and sat down to eat. "Told you so." Harry whispered as he walked past Draco, Blaise and Ron with Hermione his arm comfortably around her shoulder.

"No! He didn't." Blaise hissed.

"He did." Draco said with a hurt voice.

Chapter 16: He'll put up a Hell of a Fight.

"Harry why aren't the boys talking to me lately?" Hermione asked Harry.

"There mad because you and I are friends again that's all. Don't worry your self about it." Harry answered her.

It had been a week sense Harry and Hermione started talking again. Hermione considered him as her ONLY best friend seeing that Draco, Ron and Blaise were all ignoring her like she wasn't even visible. Harry and Hermione were in the library finishing there Dark Arts homework for Professor Lupin.

"Yes, but I don't think they should be mad at me for that, seriously!" Hermione complained again.

"'Mione don't worry about them. It's just you and I for now I guess." Harry said getting frustrated that Hermione wouldn't drop the subject of her three roommates.

"You don't even care if their mad at me or not Harry James Potter!" Hermione hissed loud enough to get snide remarks from the assistant Librarian Madam Suave. "Sorry Hermione said to her and turned her attain back to Harry. "This is entirely your fault! If you hadn't made such a big deal about us being friends again they wouldn't be so mad at me!" Hermione said as she gathered her stuff and stuffed them into her bag and walked out of the Library.

"She's still hanging out with Pothead!" Blaise roared!

"I thought you said that he would make her mad and she'd come crying to us telling us she was sorry and that she loved us and wouldn't ever do it again Weasley." Draco hissed at Ron.

"I know she will, but its going to take some time. They've been together only a week it shouldn't take much longer." Ron said defending himself momentarily until Hermione walked threw the door and saw the boys sitting on the couch.

"Um, hi." Hermione said to them hoping that she could get a word from them.

No such luck. They didn't even show that they noticed that she had walked in. They just changed there subject of talk.

"So Ron how's Lisa doing?" Draco asked.

"She's a whole lot better then Lavender was." Ron said. "What about you and Ronnie Blaise anything new happen?" Ron asked Blaise

"I gave her a ride but she's not the best in bed. I think she's more making out material not fucking. Know what I mean?" Blaise asked.

"Yeah I get it man." Draco said and laughed.

"We'll if any one of you care I'll be in the weight room." Hermione sighed and walked into her room to change into her work out cloths. She got a running top and put it on then got shorts that said "Hottie" on the ass and slipped them on making sure to roll them a couple times. She put her hair up in a high bun so it wouldn't stick to her neck and her running shoes. She walked out into the common room to see the guys were no longer in there. "Most likely in there watching a movie" Hermione said to her self and proceded into the weight room. She first did her leg lifts. She could lift a hundred and twenty pounds with her legs. Then she went to the sitting bench press machine and did about a hundred pounds. She got on her runner and was in the middle of running ten miles when Draco burst into the room.

"How's Scarface?" Draco asked.

"I wish you wouldn't call him that, but if you must know he's doing just fine. Not as if you'd care." Hermione hissed.

"Not true, you're the one who one minute you hate him then the next you two are dating what kind of sick humor is that Hermione Ann Manson?" Draco yelled.

"What in bloody hell are you going on about? Dating Harry? I'm only a friend." Hermione said. Then it hit her. Why they were all mad at her! Because Harry had rapped his arm around her and made them think that they were a couple.

"It doesn't look that way from where we're standing it looks like you two are dating!" Draco said angrily. 'Dose she think she can play me like a fool!' Draco thought to her self.

"I'll kill him." Hermione whispered under her breath.

"What was that? Couldn't really hear you. Kill who?" Draco asked backing away from Hermione in case she was talking about killing him.

"Harry! He's a jerk; I said that we were only friends! I should have known from the start when Lavender came to me. If it would have been someone else I would have thought about it but I didn't. I knew that she would help people if they asked her to. God how could I be so stupid!" Hermione said and got up from the runner not noticing the whole time her and Draco were talking she had ran an extra two miles.

"Hermione wait up." Draco called and ran after her. Blaise and Ron looked at him with questionable faces. "Potter and Hermione weren't together, he tricked us." Draco said then ran after Hermione into her room. He looked around and didn't see Hermione. Her closet door was opened and a light was shinning in there so he went to go see if she was hiding in the closet.

Once he reached the closet door he heard her bedroom door slam shut casing him to turn around quickly to see Hermione standing there with a evil glint in her eye.

"Are you ok 'Mia?" Draco asked her as she backed him up on to her bed. She simply pushed him down where he was laying on his back looking up into Hermione's eyes.

"I'm perfectly alright Draco." Hermione said and smashed her lips into his.

He was overjoyed to feel her lips upon his once again that he kissed her back with much more hunger then Hermione had. He licked her bottom lip begging to have entrance into her mouth. Slowly she allowed him in and his tongue darted around feeling ever curve of her teeth. She slowly pulled away and removed Draco's shirt from his body. She ran her hands down his nicely toned stomach. He shivered at her touch but helped him self to removing her work out top. He flipped her over so he was on top then she once again attacked his lips with hers and then he slowly trailed down her collar bone with sweet slow sensitive kisses. She unzipped her pants while arching her back to feel him more. She needed to know that he was there. She pulled off his pants and tossed them to the side. He noticed how fast this was going and pulled away.

"Hermione, stop." Draco told her harshly, and pulled away.

"What Draco! Why?" Hermione asked with a innocent smile.

"Because you're not ready for this, you're just throwing your self out there" Draco said speaking for her.

"What are you saying Draco that I'm being to easy? Isn't this what you want?" Hermione asked him getting very defensive along the way.

"No, Hermione I want you its just."

"Just what? You want me when your drunk so then you can say it never happened? You want to be able to say it was all a mistake? That it didn't mean anything!" Hermione said her temper sky high by now.

"No Hermione that's not it! I just don't want to take you when you're throwing your self out there. You're mad and I wont take you acting like this Hermione. I Love you but I'm not going to fuck you when you're mad at Harry I'll feel like it's just a way for you to get rid of stress, like I was just the joy ride or something! I'm not going to do this if you're doing it to make everything right because it wont! You'll regret it and then it will be my fault. Hermione I love you and its not going to happen this way." Draco said with all truth behind it.

It scared him that Hermione was throwing her self out at him. She felt that ti was what she had to do, or it was just to stop being so pissed at Harry and he didn't want to take her virginity for either of those two reasons. He wanted it to be the moment. The time he knew was right. Because it was out of love, lust want, need. Not because she felt it was the way to make things right. He knew she knew he was right because he could see it in her eyes.

"Get out." Was all Hermione said.

It was all it took to. He simply put his pants back on then his shirt. He opened the door and walked out making sure to close the door behind him so she could get dressed once again. He could tell she was mad at him for stopping her, but he knew it wasn't worth it. That if she really loved him then she would respect how he felt. He walked out into the common room to where Ron and Blaise were. They grinned when they saw Draco.

"Give us the play by play." Ron said.

"How was she?" Blaise asked.

"Did she scream your name?" Ron asked.

"Do yo-"Blaise started.

"We didn't fuck." Draco said as he grabbed some food from the refrigerator.

"She turned you down?" Blaise asked.

"Sounds like Hermione to me." Ron added.

"Yeah I bet." Blaise said.

"I turned her down." Draco said. Blaise wasn't expecting to hear this and dropped the glass of water he was holding and the glass shattered as it hit the floor.

"You what!" Blaise asked.

"She threw her self at me and I knew it was to make everything better, to say sorry, to let go of the pain and to stop being so pissed at Harry, Which by the way I must kill, so I told her no." Draco said.

"Bet she didn't see that coming." Ron said.

"Nope." Draco said.

"So what's the ordeal with Harry?" Blaise asked while it was still on his mind.

"Hermione and his never got together. He was tricking us knowing that we would think they were together and leave Hermione alone." Draco said as he took a sip of water.

"That Bastard." Blaise said.

"What I thought when she pointed it out to me." Draco said.

"So is she mad at you?" Ron asked.

"I don't know." Draco asked as he sat down across from Blaise.

"No I'm not. I thought about what you said Draco and your right. I'm sorry for acting like such a slut" Hermione said and sat down to Draco slowly afraid that he would shoo her away.

"That's ok." Draco said and slipped his arm around her waist pulling her closely.

"Aw Blaise don't they look so cute." Ron asked.

"Yes, but I wonder if he's told her how he feels." Blaise said.

"Hermione have I told you that I love you lately?" Draco asked.

"Nope, have I told you I need you and love you?" Hermione asked.

"You did just now." Draco said and kissed her softly on the tip of her nose.

"They look so sweet don't they Blaise?" Ron teased.

"Huh? Oh yeah so sweet I could jack off to them." Blaise joked.

"Well I'm tired I've had a long day I'm going to sleep." Hermione said and got up.

"Me too." Draco said.

"Dido." Ron said.

"Right behind you." Blaise added. Draco walked Hermione to her room and kissed her good-night.

"Dose this mean we are dating Draco?" Hermione asked.

"only if you want." Draco said.

"Yes." Hermione replied

"Love you sweetie." Draco said and kissed her.

"Love you too." She called after him as he walked into his room to fall asleep.

"Hey Hermione." Harry said as he sat down with her at breakfast the next morning. He saw Draco walk threw the door and on the way to where Hermione and him were sitting. He slipped his arm around Hermione's shoulder.

"Stop it." Hermione said and shrugged him off. He once again put his hand on her shoulder.

"I believe my baby girl just told you to stop it Draco said as he sat down next Hermione and flung his arm off of her and kissed Hermione with passion clearly showing Harry who she was with and that he was to back off.

"Your baby, if I recall right she's with me." Harry said. Draco got up from his seat and Harry followed after him. Hermione sighed and turned to the boys.

"Last I recalled she we got together last night." Draco said in a matter of faculty voice.

"You wish Malfoy." Harry said and drew his wand.

"Harry fuck off!" Hermione hissed and stood infront of Draco.

"Get out of the way Hermione." Draco said and pushed Hermione to the side.

"No Draco he's not worth it stop!" Hermione said and got in front of them again.

"'Mione move!" Harry threatened now pointing his wand at her.

"Don't you dare hex her or I will make sure you are in terrible condition. I'll make your ugly face beautiful then jack it up again." Draco warned Harry.

"You wish Malfoy." Harry said

"Harry go away! I don't' feel safe around you anymore." Hermione said.

"I'll get you for this Malfoy." Harry said.

"I'd like to see you try." Draco said calmly.

Before Hermione could say STOP she was put in a full body bind and Draco and Harry were dueling before everyone in the great hall. She didn't have a clue whom had made it where she couldn't move but she knew she wasn't going to be able to save Draco or Harry from a terrible fate. They dueled it out until both of them passed out on the floor. Hermione screamed out just as Ron took the spell off of her and ran to Draco sobbing. She looked at Harry and kicked him a couple of times in the stomach then followed Professor Black carry Draco to the Hospital wing. She was sobbing uncontrollably when Draco wouldn't respond to anything they ere trying to do for him. He seemed to be in comma.

Blaise walked in and Hermione ran to him. "It was horrible. One of them put me in a full body bind and I couldn't get to them and Harry's awake but he hit Draco with something really strong and He won't wake up." Hermione said still sobbing.

"He's going to be alright Hermione, he's strong and he won't die knowing that you'll be here." Blaise said and hugged her reassuring her. Even though he wasn't so sure himself that Draco would make it… No one was.
