Chapter Seventeen- Trick or Treat? Part Two

An awkward silence filled the hallway. Harry had an expression of utter shock, Ron gaped at Hermione, but she couldn't tear her eyes away from Draco. He had a blank expression but she could tell he was putting everything together in his head. While she looked at him, she was hoping that once he realized that it was her all along, he would grin with joy and that he'd stay with her, considering that he'd been with the same girl all along.

"Who else?" asked Ron.

Hermione shifted her gaze to him "Hannah, Parvati, Lavender, and…"

She didn't know how to put it because she knew he was going to get mad. Harry was blushing furiously.

"And?" said Ron

"…Ginny"

It came faster than she thought

"WHAT!" he yelled.

He didn't need to think twice about who she danced for. "Did you know it was her?" yelled Ron at Harry. Harry stared guiltily at the floor.

"Yes" he whispered.

Ron was fuming. He stormed to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione felt the tension building when she was left alone with Draco.

She stared at Draco again. This time she could read his eyes. She saw something she didn't expect.

A glare.

Hermione was taken aback. "Draco, I…" she tried to put her words together "I liked you. I thought…I thought it was the only way I could be with you without you despising me"

He narrowed his eyes "Did you think that after you made a fool of myself by teasing me, seducing me, and probably had a laugh about it afterward I was going to be with open arms?"

Hermione gasped "No, Draco, you got it all wrong, I…"

"Shut up, mudblood. Always playing the innocent little girl when really you're a conniving bitch! Do you expect me to believe that what you did up there was something you've never done before? I think you were way too practiced. You're probably the biggest whore in this goddamned school"

Ironic, isn't it? She thought she danced horribly and Draco thought she was too good.

Hermione let the tears slide down in silence. You would think that Draco would realize she was telling the truth, but no. Draco hardened even more.

"You know what? You're a good actress. Had me fooled for a while, but let me tell you the truth about Hermione Granger. She's a low, disgusting, lying mudblood slut and you know what else? I thought I hated you before, but what I feel now is so much more"

He turned and began walking away. Hermione finally found her voice, but began to sob loudly. She dropped on her knees. Draco stopped and turned one last time.

"Newsflash, Granger. Good girls with good intentions don't do what you did up there" and he left.
