Hello everyone.
Seeing as there was no Hermione in the last chapter she's going to be in this one of the next one. Thanks to my reviewers. Also I'm hoping to make this one a little bit longer but I don't know if I can. Okay well tooroo.
It had been a few days since Draco had found Hermione and the news was spreading like wildfire. Draco had stuck to his promise, and one day after his finding potter and Weasley snogging, the entire school knew about the boy who lived to date men and his 'best friend'. Draco could not take all the credit for the news travelling so fast, he had to admit when you told pansy Parkinson something this big she gets it out to the public really quickly.
Unfortunately the school had also heard of Hermiones attempted suicide and were spreading that, with minor adjustments from the Parvati and Lavender, who were still quite stung that they weren't the ones to tell the school of Harry and Rons preferences.
Draco was outraged by the things that people were saying one third year who Draco thought was a stupid little twit had said to her friend, I heard that Hermione was so insanely jealous of the boys. Jealous why? Well its obvious isn't it she's in love with Draco. Malfoy? Yeah, you see Draco, Harry and Ron were caught by Hermione in the heads common room. Oh. Yeah so Hermione tried to kill herself when she found out Draco was gay.
That little rumour had been stepped on the moment Draco had finished listening. Both third years had yet to recover from the boils and rats tails sprouting all over their bodies.
It hadn't been very hard to get himself out of that detention McGonagall had been so embarrassed when she saw him that she had run the other way not bothering to help the wounded third years, and each time the third years had tried to tell madam Pomphrey who had caused their injuries a frog would jump out of their mouths. A little trick Dracos' father had taught Draco when he was little.
The week had been so trying that he had almost forgotten Hermione, almost, each night he would sneak into her room to check on how she was doing, he was undisturbed in his efforts because as he had requested Harry and Ron both had detentions with Snape.
Wednesday evening Draco sat next o Hermione his hand in hers, as always, a sad look upon his face. Hermione stirred slightly, her eyes fluttered and opened slowly.
"Finally you're awake," Draco sighed and stood "I'm going to tell Dumbledore".
As Draco walked out of the room Hermione's eyes adjusted to the lighting just long enough to see a black cloak flit out of the room. She had seen a vague figure stand over her and heard some one speak but could not tell whom it was. She assumed it was the same person who had sat with her while she was recovering. A wave of fatigue hit her suddenly, deciding that it was best if she rested now she slipped back into a peaceful sleep, not haunted by nightmares as she had been for a while.
"Professor Dumbledore sir" draco had been searching the school for the old man, he had not been in his office and so draco had been forced to threaten some sixth years into telling him which way the professor had went.
"Ah! Draco m'boy; how are you? Tell me have you heard any news from your mother? I remember when she was head girl…"
Draco cut into the headmasters' ramblings "Professor… its Hermione she's woken up".
"Ah very good m'boy. Very good indeed. Now I do believe that I have some very important visitors in my office whom have some to speak about our lovely new head girl so I must leave you now… your mother was head girl you know, she was so nice one Christmas…" Dumbledore's ramblings faded as he walked away down the corridor.
"That man is insane," Draco muttered "but then again I'm talking to my self".
"HERMIONE!" a grinning Harry and Ron were running between the house tables to greet her. Today was her first day back and no one knew that she would be here, so as can be expected Harry and Ron were very pleased to see her. As it seemed so were lavender and Parvati who jumped up and followed the boys their pink sparkly robes fluttering after them.
"Hey Mione how are you? Listen you Ron and I need to talk ok?" Harry said quietly, as a fifth year Hufflepuff lent out of his seat to get a better listen.
"Go bug some one else!" Ron snapped at the fifth year, who promptly started to whisper to the small second year in the seat next to him.
"Okay that's fine but right now I'm really hungry so if we stop by the kitc…" Hermione was cut off by a shrill and annoying voice coming from behind her
"Oh Hermione DARLING! We were so worried about you … you know we hardly ever chat any more since you go your head girl position… we simply must catch up… Parvati and I are dying to hear what you did in the summer… now tell me what was this about you committing suicide? Are you dead? Are you a ghost or even a poltergeist?" lavender brown was standing in all of her glory, pink shoes, pink bag, pink mini skirt, pink halter, pink glittery robe, and or course a pink best friend in her toe. Parvati Patil had her note book out and was scribbling down all of lavenders questions. Both girls received a stony glare from the head girl, who turned from them and with a flick of her hair continued her conversation with Harry and Ron.
"So shall we head to the kitchen" Hermione smiled at the boys, who eagerly smiled back, it was nice to see a friendly face. Hermione turned toward the two disgruntled girls behind her who smiled when they saw Hermiones attention back on them.
"Oh. Parvati, lavender! How nice to see you. We must chat but I'm afraid you've been to busy being psycho gossiping sluts to have time to tell me how your summers been. Ah well maybe next time? Bye" Hermione smiled and trotted off out of the great hall, Harry and Ron in tow, leaving two very annoyed gossips and a laughing great hall, it sure was good to have Hermione back.
Draco had been watching her since the moment she entered the hall, he could not get his eyes off her. He smirked as two Gryffindors whom he had never taken the time to learn the name of, and looked rather like a Childs Christmas tree ornaments the kind with to much tinsel and crayon all over it, ran through the great hall their bangles jingling the whole time. One of tem spoke to Hermione who seemed quite unfazed and turned back to Potter and Weasley, this he could tell annoyed the sparkly girls. However when Hermione turned back to face them they smiled sweetly, Hermione smirked and spoke to them, though it could hardly be called speaking as he heard it from the opposite side of the hall.
"Oh. Parvati, lavender! How nice to see you. We must chat but I'm afraid you've been to busy being psycho gossiping sluts to have time to tell me how your summers been. Ah well maybe next time? Bye" Draco let out a laugh at the two girls who were turning a strange magenta colour, which did not match their pink ensemble. His eyes darted back to where Hermione was walking her hips swaying, teasing him.
"So boys what's up?" Hermione smiled at them as they sat down on the small table in the kitchen.
"Miss? Would miss like any thing to ... HARRY POTTER! What is Harry potter wanting sir? Dobby will get Mister Harry potter anything he wishes!" dobby the house elf bowed, his nose touching the ground and his many hats flailing about. Hermione giggled at the house elf, she had given up on house elf rights after kreacher had tried to attack her with a quill. She subconsciously rubbed the spot where that scar was left behind.
"Erm dobby could you bring all three of us some breakfast?" Harry stated as Ron attempted to muffle a laugh. With out waiting a moment after Harry had finished his request dobby was off like a flash trying to organise a banquet for the trio. \
"Bonkers. Honestly" Ron mumbled. This sent Harry and Hermione into a fit of giggles.
"Any ways mione" Harry said slowly when he had control of his laughter "you know that secret that Ron and I told you over the summer? In our owls?"
"Yes Harry the fact that you're gay." Hermione smiled as Ron shuddered, that word had the same effect on him as the name Voldemort had, though now that old Voldy was dead Ron was much more at ease with it.
"Mione!" Harry said indignantly "its homosexual thank you very much."
"Yeah, yeah whatever. So anyways why is you and Ron dating so important now I mean it's a secret so why talk about it when there are ears listening?" Hermione stood and silently made her way over to the door.
"Ears listening?" Harry said curiously. Hermione didn't reply to him she simply pulled the little skin coloured string out from under the door crack and shouted into it.
"PARVATI, LAVENDER AND PANSY PARKINSON ARE THE LOWEST OF ALL CREATURES! THEY SHOULD GET A LIFE!" Hermione giggled as she heard the screeches from down the hall.
"Looks like the secrets out boys" Hermione smirked, she had hated the sneaking that Harry and Ron had, had to do and was quite relieved now.
"Yeah, it would be if people hadn't found out a week ago" Ron said glumly.
"A week ago?"
"Yeah Malfoy caught us kissing in his room" Harry smiled a little, now finding that memory funny.
"What were you doing in his room?" Hermione inquired sharply.
"well we'd come to visit you… and then we kinda started to snog" Ron coughed loudly but Harry carried on "well we didn't want you to wake up and see us like that so we had to find another room, we tried the bathroom but have you ever tried kissing someone on those marble cabinet tops? Its freezing! So we went into the next room and we didn't know it was Malfoy! Honestly!"
"Yeah and then Malfoy found us" Ron through a mouth full of egg and bacon which had just appeared on the table thanks to dobby.
"Well it serves you right then!" Hermione cried indignantly. They came to visit me and started snogging! When it was their fault I was unconscious her mean side thought. They weren't the ones who slit their wrists were they you cant go blaming other people the logical part of her brain said.
"MIONE!" Harry shouted at her "you have no right to say that, we don't deserve to be found out like that!"
"Yeah well it still serves you right… you bloody well couldn't visit me YOUR FRIEND without bloody snogging each other. Did you even wait more than 3 seconds? Did you get to my common room and go 'hey threes no one here lets snog?' you are the ones who … you're the ones who… who … made me" Hermione burst out crying and ran from the kitchen still angry at Harry and Ron but more angry at herself. She ran through the halls of Hogwarts until she found her haven the library opening the door and walking straight through the isles not bothering to look in front of her. If she had she'd have seen the figure a head and she might have been able to get out of the way before she ran straight into the back of…
Teehee the end!
You'll find out more later but for now bye.
