Hermione smiled slightly then walked away towards the Gryffindor common
room. Once she got there she said the password and then walked in to see
Harry and Ron sitting on the couch. They stood up quickly after seeing her
then ran over to her.
"Hermione where were you!" Ron wrapped his arms around one of his best friends, Hermione.
"Hermione why are your lips so puffy?" Harry grinned slightly mad. He knew that she had been kissing someone and he was worried that someone was Draco Malfoy. He had seen how Draco and her were lately.
"Moxley...I ran into Moxley today and slammed my books into my mouth, that's all Harry. As if it's any of your concern," Hermione turned away to walk up towards the girls common room.
"Hermione you've been acting awfully different lately," Ron smirked while taking his seat back on the couch in the common room.
"What are you talking about Ron I am just the same as I was the first time you met me, mental, isn't that what you said I was back in our first year?" Hermione glared and watched Ron squirm slightly.
"I was only eleven Hermione give me a break. You can't tell me you didn't think I was the dullest wizard back then."
"No Ron you're right I did think you were the dullest wizard in my first year, but I still think that now also."
"Hermione what is up with you! First you get angry when your friends are worried about you then you snap wise cracks at me when I did nothing to you!" Ron growled.
"Sorry Ron I just haven't been acting myself lately," Hermione sighed and walked up into the girls dormitory room.
Hermione sat on her bed and the room went quiet. Lavender Brown had walked out the minute Hermione had walked in and Hermione was left alone. She sat there thinking about what Ron had said.
Was Ron right have I changed?
Hermione couldn't help but let the tears run down her face. She realized she had been changing and the friends she knew and loved were the victims of the crime. She ran out of the girls dormitory room and down the stairs. She looked around the room and noticed Harry and Ron sitting on the couch both working on their homework. She wiped away her tears and ran over to them and wrapped her arms around both of them and gave them great big hugs.
"I'm sorry guys," she cried.
"It's okay Hermione calm down calm down," Ron widened his eyes and looked towards Harry.
"Mione we'll always be here for you, you know that right?" Harry rubbed her back and returned Ron's confused yet concerned glance.
"You guys have been there for me since as long as I can remember and I'm sorry I've been acting so strange lately," Hermione wiped another tear away from her eyes and pulled away from the hug to just look at them.
"Hermione you're our best friend we'll always be there for you as Harry said," Ron smiled and stood up.
"Friends until the end," Harry also stood up next to Hermione and Ron and put his hand in the center of their trio circle. Then Ron put his and last Hermione put hers.
"We have to promise we'll tell each other the truth about everything," Ron look around at Harry then Hermione. They all nodded and then broke their pile of hands that were in the center.
"Then I have to tell you guys something," Hermione said while biting her lip.
"What is it?" Ron and Harry both looked at Hermione slightly concerned.
"You know how you asked me why my lips were so puffy Harry?"
"yeah?" Harry's eyes slightly lowered into a glare.
"Well they were like that not because Moxley ran into me, it was because Moxley had pinned me against a wall and kissed me, I didn't want him to but he wouldn't stop. I cried and cried but he just wouldn't release his pressure against me, and that's when Draco came and decked the mother fucker," Hermione smiled at the thought of Draco punching Moxley.
"Hermione you just cussed!" Ron stepped backwards with pure amazement spread across his face.
"You really have changed Hermione!" Harry laughed a little bit, as did Ron and Hermione.
"Guys there is another thing I have to tell you," Hermione opened her mouth when the portrait slammed open.
"Neville?" Ron looked towards Neville who was all wet and covered with paint.
"What happened Neville?" Hermione ran over to him.
"D-d-draco M-m-malfoy c-c-covered me w-w-with paint and w-w-water," Neville shivered and closed his eyes.
"Neville go get on some clean clothes we'll deal with Malfoy," Ron clenched his fist in anger.
"Ron you and Harry take are of Neville I'll go speak with Dr...er Malfoy," Hermione went to walk out the portrait when Ron and Harry both laid their hands on her shoulders.
We're not sending you down there alone Hermione," Harry grinned towards her. Ron and Harry then both ran out of the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione bit her lip, she didn't want Harry and Ron to get hurt so she followed after them. She suspected that something bad was going on or was about to happen.
"Hermione where were you!" Ron wrapped his arms around one of his best friends, Hermione.
"Hermione why are your lips so puffy?" Harry grinned slightly mad. He knew that she had been kissing someone and he was worried that someone was Draco Malfoy. He had seen how Draco and her were lately.
