Hermione looked into his blue eyes. She used to think Ron was so cute, and had a crush on him for a long time, ever since their first year, but know it all had changed. Hermione was still upset about Ron's comment about how her relationship with Viktor wasn't going to work because it was so long distance. Couldn't he see that she was still hurt that they broke up, how could he make a comment like that. How could he have been so insensitive.

"Ron, I am not in the mood to hear anything from you right now. I can't handle anymore pain." Hermione swerved around him and continued to walk down the stairs. Ron just stood on the step and watched her walk away. IWhat did I do now, why can't she just see that I don't know what I did. I hate it when we fight. /I'

Hermione was about five feet away from the Great Hall Doors when Draco ran through one and slammed it, and then continued to walk quickly out of the room, knocking Hermione over. Hermione looked up to see what happened, and she saw Draco stomping away. She ran after him in the long corridor leading to the dungeons. "Malfoy! bMalfoy/b" Hermione yelled at him. He didn't answer. He was walking down the stairs, and when he reached the last set of stairs, before the entrance of the dungeons, he stopped and sat on the last one of the white marble stair. Hermione finally caught up with him seconds later, and sat on the floor in front of him. She looked up into his blue-grey eyes, and saw the pain in his face. He wasn't crying, he was too tough of a man for that, but any girl could tell that he was hurt. Draco just continued staring at the floor, like he was in some kind of trance. His eyes concentrating on every dent, or scratch in the marble, he didn't even realize the mud blood was there until, "Malfoy" she said in a way, that there was a fret in her voice. He looked up at her, he had wondered who had followed him down here. He just looked at her with utter confusion, I'What is she doing down here? Probably to get payback for my whole Viktor comment./I' He didn't say anything for a few moments, he just looked at her, wondering what kind of insult she would say to him. He did noticed that she looked a little different, she looked as if tried to put more "spice" into her wardrobe, but she didn't look stunning.

"What is wrong? What happened?" Hermione hated Draco, for all of those years of torture she endured, but she knew what he was going through. And even though she hated him so, it wasn't fair to let him get over this all on his own. Draco started at her in disbelief, 'I Is the mud blood actually being nice to me? Why? There is nothing she could help me with/I'

"Nothing is wrong, now leave" He said standing up, and heading towards a black steel door. Hermione looked at him while trying to leave. She ran up in front of the door and leaned against it, making it impossible for him to leave, unless he moved her himself.

"Look, I know you don't like me, for whatever reason, but I can help you. I know what you are going through."

"How could you ever understand, yes, that Krum poof cheated on you, but you don't have to see him every day making out with someone else!" Draco spat out. He didn't want to talk to anyone, and he was talking all of his frustration out on Hermione.

"No, I guess not, but that doesn't mean I didn't have go through a lot of pain when it happened. Viktor didn't tell me anything. I found out one day, when I was looking in the Daily Prophet and I saw him kissing some girl. I would have never found out, if it wasn't for that. And when I broke up with him, he acted like it was my fault, because I didn't move to Bulgaria to be with him."

"I was bringing Pansy flowers, because it was our six month anniversary, and what do I find. HER AND FLINT IN THE ACT!" Draco said punching the side of the wall. He punched so hard that deep red blood started to pour out from torn up knuckles. He starred at the wall while he spoke. "I had a whole, romantic evening planned out, and what does she do, she gave everything we had waited for, to that oaf!" Hermione just looked at him in shock. She knew they broke up and that Pansy cheated on him, but she didn't know exactly what had went down. She didn't understand what he meant by "she gave everything we had waited for" but she assumed that he was falling in love with her. Just how she was falling in love with Krum. She was about a foot away from him, and just looked up into his blue-grey eyes. He wasn't crying, but she could see that they were just about to tear up. He turned his face from the wall to Hermione's face. He saw small tears streaming from the side of her face, bringing small amounts of make up down with them. He could see that she was hurt too. He had just spend the last five minutes having a screaming fit at her, when some one did the same thing to her, just in a different way.

"I didn't know that she hurt you that badly." Hermione said, and just continued to stare into her eyes.

---Mean while----

Ron was going to go back to the common room, but now all he wanted to do was make Hermione jealous. He walked back into the Great Hall, and sat down next to lavender. Held her in his arms, kissed her, and then the tongue wars began. He overheard Ginny say, "I can't believe Pansy is now with Blaise Zabbini! Couldn't you tell Draco was pissed, and I can't believe Herm missed it all. Where is she anyway?" Ron was also thinking the same thing.
