Ok next chap as promised if I reached 100! got 102 instead- THAT WORKS FINE! HEHEHEHE
Hermione breathed in and out before she spoke.
'Ron, I don't know how to sugar coat this, so I'll say it straight out.'
Ron waited patiently.
'Ron, I want to…break up with you.' the minute Hermione actually said the words, she looked to the ground.
'You…want…to…break…up?'
'Yes.' Hermione whispered.
'Ok. It's done. We're broken up.'
Hermione thought she heard anger, so she flinched.
'Your mad aren't you?' Hermione asked, finding the ground was very interesting.
'No.' Hermione looked up. 'I'm glad you didn't sugar coat it.'
Hermione smiled relieved and hugged him.
'Oh, I thought you'd hate me!'
'No, impossible.' Ron smiled into her hair.
Hermione started to shiver now she wasn't warm with nerves.
'You cold?' Ron asked when Hermione rubbed her arms up and down.
'Yeah, I am a bit.' Hermione answered.
'Well, let's get inside.' Ron said, starting to walk off to the castle.
'Why did you break up with me anyway?' Ron asked casually as they walked back.
Hermione's blood ran cold- oh no…no wait- OH SHIT!
'Is there someone else?'
Don't tell him you have a crush on Malfoy Ginny's advice ran through Hermione's head.
'No…'
'Am I a bad boyfriend?'
'No.' Hermione answered quicker and more determined.
'Well, why then?' Ron stopped walking. 'Did you even like me to begin with?'
'I did.' Hermione said.
'So, you woke up one morning and decided to break up with me?' Ron asked.
Hermione was in dead spot light and she hated it.
'No…'
'Oh well that's a shame.' Ron said, continuing to walk on.
'What?' Hermione followed him, the all mighty Hermione Granger didn't get something.
'It's a shame.'
'What's a shame?' Hermione asked.
'That you didn't wake up and decide not to go out with me.' Ron answered.
'Why?' Hermione was completely dumbfounded.
'Because I did.'
'You did?'
'Yeah. I woke up today, and I didn't really want to go out with you. I was going to tell you later tonight I think…'
Emotions filled Hermione all at once. Anger, gladness, sadness, relief.
She was angry because he let her do the hard stuff, glad because it meant he wasn't sad over it, sad because he didn't want to go out with her, and relief that he felt the same way.
'You did, did you?' Hermione said, all her emotions added.
'Yeah.'
Hermione walked quickly back up to the castle, leaving Ron to find his own way.
Ginny was waiting for Hermione in the entrance hall, and when she saw her, she walked up to her.
'How did it go? How did he take it?'
'Very bloody well.' Hermione stormed before almost running to her common room.
when Ginny heard that, she was going to chase her friend, but then saw Ron, and it was too late- Hermione was out of sight.
'Ronald Weasley! What did you say?' Ginny yelled, walking to wards her brother, who was backing up.
Hermione ran to her room without stopping. When she reached it, she threw herself on the couch, not realizing Malfoy was on it.
'Oh god. Look, I know you can't wait-'
It was then that Malfoy realized Hermione was crying.
'Hey, Granger, what's wrong? You're getting your germs on my shirt.' even though Malfoy was joking, Hermione didn't laugh.
'Granger?' Malfoy sat up, and helped Hermione into a sitting position.
'What's wrong?'
Hermione looked away before saying something.
'Everything.' then she got up and headed to her room without another word
After a minute, Malfoy heard someone knocking on the portrait, so he answered it.
'Oh, weaslette. She's in her room.'
Ginny ignored him, used to his comments, and headed to Hermione's closed door.
'Herms? Come on herms. Open up!' the door remained closed.
'Hermione Granger, open this door, or do I have to force it?'
No reply.
Ginny sighed, and asked Malfoy something- well rather told Malfoy something.
'I'm going through your room.'
'What? No you bloody well are not!' Malfoy sprang off the couch from where he was sitting, but Ginny was already at his door.
'Hey!' Malfoy called, but Ginny slammed his door shut before she could say anything.
She crossed Malfoy's tidy room, and reached the balcony.
The balcony was bathed in moonlight and Ginny envied Hermione for having such a place to call her own.
Ginny got to Hermione's door, and saw it was closed yes, but unlocked.
She carefully slid it open, and entered.
Hermione was sitting on the ground, leaning against her bed, her arms folded across her chest.
Ginny didn't say anything as she crossed the room, and knelt down beside Hermione.
She took one look at the wreck before hugging her, which Hermione returned like she knew Ginny was in her room. No shock what so ever seam to pass her face when out of no where someone hugs her.
After a minute, Ginny pulls back, and wiped the hair and tears from Hermione's face.
'Herms, I talked to Ron…' at that, Hermione's head snapped up.
'You did?'
'Yes, I did. He was lying.' Ginny said.
Hermione sniffled.
'He was?'
'That's what he told me.'
In the end, Ginny told Hermione that Ron had lied to her to cover up his disappointment, sadness and grief. He was apparently really sad.
'Yeah, but it's done.'
Strangely, none of this made Hermione feel any better.
'And Malfoy was wondering what's wrong too.'
'He is?' Hermione hiccupped.
'Yep.' Ginny had never seen a person in such a sad and sorry state. She felt so sorry for her. But there was something Ginny wasn't telling her friend. Something Ron had told her…something Ginny knew would really damage Hermione if she knew. Ginny knew she would have to tell her, but right now, right here, she just didn't have the heart.
Hermione continued to cry for a few more minutes before regaining her senses.
'Look at me? I was breaking up with him…and im the one falling apart. I'm probably in a worse state that Ron!' Ginny didn't favor that with a reply.
'AM i?' Hermione said.
'Well, er…I left Ron with Harry, so I don't know; I was more concerned for you.'
Hermione managed a strained smile. 'I'm hungry.' she said.
'Herms, we only had dinner a few hours ago…' Ginny trailed off.
'I know, but im hungry…im off to get some food.' Hermione got up off the floor and headed over to the door that leads to the common room.
Ginny looked at her for a minute before following her.
But when Ginny walked into the common room, she got the shock of her life.
(AN if I was really, really cruel, I'd leave a cliff hanger, but I think you'd all shoot me or worse, NOT READ AND REVIEW!)
the common room was packed with Slytherins.
Absolutely PACKED with the slimy people.
Ginny gasped, as the Slytherins noticed hers and Hermione's presence.
Malfoy saw they were out, and headed over.
'Hey granger- before you ask, I didn't invite them.'
Hermione only nodded, and headed out straight away.
Malfoy and Ginny stood together for a minute, watching her go, before Ginny smiled a small strained smile at Malfoy and followed her out of the overcrowded common room.
Ginny caught Hermione in the corridor.
'Well, that was unexpected.' Ginny smiled.
Hermione only nodded, being in another world of her own.
'Come on, im hungry.' Hermione said, as she started walking off to the kitchens.
'Didn't you say you had a kitchen passageway in the common room?' Ginny asked after a pause.
'Yes, but I need, and feel like a walk.' Hermione answered, turning into the corridor.
When they reached the kitchen, Dobby came running up to them.
'Oh, it is such a pleasure to see you again Miss Hermy!' Dobby grinned.
'Its lovely to see you too Dobby.' Hermione smiled.
'Oh, Miss must forgive Dobby for not seeing her!' Dobby squeaked when he saw Ginny.
'Its ok Dobby.' Ginny said kindly.
'Do you know her?' Hermione asked.
'Yes, that is Mr. Wesley's little sister, and the twin's sister.' Dobby smiled. Then he hung his head. 'But Dobby is ashamed to say he's forgotten her name.'
'Oh, that's ok Dobby.' Ginny said. 'My name is Ginny.'
'Then Dobby is pleased to meet Miss Ginny Weasley.' Hermione grinned.
'What has brought Miss Hermy and Miss Weasley down here?' Dobby asked, the introductions out of the way.
'I was hungry for some food Dobby.' Hermione answered.
At once, elves, who had been listening, flew over to her, carrying trays of foods of all kinds- meats, vegetables, fruits…everything.
Hermione scanned the trays.
'Is this not to Miss's liking?' a elf spoke.
'No, no, its fine, but I'll make it myself.' Hermione replied, smiling kindly to him.
'Miss is not liking the elf's cooking?' one asked, hurt plastered on his little face.
'No no, I-'
'Herms, what did you really want?' Ginny asked.
'Chicken.' Hermione answered.
'Ok. Can we have some chicken?' Ginny spoke to the group at large.
At once, the elves ran off to get some different types of chicken.
When the returned, Ginny took some, gave it to Hermione, thanked the elves, and left.
'Why did you do that?' Hermione snapped when they where in the corridor, the portrait closing behind them.
'Because. You where offending them Hermione. Didn't you see it on their faces?' Ginny said.
'Well-'
'Look, I'll see you tomorrow.' Ginny said, hugging Hermione, who was already digging into the chicken.
'Ok.' Hermione smiled.
Ginny went another way to Hermione when they got to the right corridor. Hermione continued up the castle to her portrait and entered.
By the time she had reached it, she had run out of chicken. she had considered walking back down to the kitchens to get some more, but she couldn't be bothered.
She opened the portrait, to have sound of people, quiet a few people at that, talking loudly and laughing.
Hermione groaned as she walked slowly into her common room. the Slytherins slowly turned their heads and watched her walk the length of the common room, to get to her room.
Malfoy saw her walk in and followed her, attracting Hermione to be watched a lot more than she would have liked.
Malfoy tailed Hermione all the way to her door, where she turned around sharply.
'What?' she asked, not bothering to keep the venom out of her voice.
'Meet me in the bathroom in ten minutes.' Malfoy muttered, quiet enough for only Hermione to hear.
Hermione glared, and Malfoy smirked.
He turned and walked over to Jamie and Blaize while Hermione quickly disappeared through her door.
When she was in the quietness of her room, Hermione threw herself on the bed, before springing back up.
She hadn't seen any of the teachers about any of the work she had missed the previous week.
She panicked, then reasoned. Tomorrow, she will see them and sort it out. Tomorrow.
Hermione sighed and walked over to her desk and began to write on pieces of parchment.
Dear Mum and dad,
She wrote on one.
I know I haven't written to you in ages, and I am sorry. I have been very busy mentally and physically. I have been getting all my homework done and essays due in on time. I have also been attending Divination, and abiding your requests.
That takes care of some of the mentally and physical things.
Most of my problems have to do with things I thought I'd never have to deal with. I don't think I told you, as I haven't written in a while, but Ron asked me out. I know you must be thrilled, but don't. We broke it off last night. We are sill great friends, so that's not the matter. Thing is, it was me who broke up with him. Not the other way around. I know your probably thinking why, when I have told you previously that I fancied him. I broke up with Ron, because I have different feelings for someone, someone I never, and mum, I mean never would feel for him.
Mum, I have feeling for Draco Malfoy. And I know you know who that is, it is the Slytherin Prince of Darkness, the same Draco Malfoy who had made my life nearly unbearable here at Hogwarts for the past 7 years. The same Draco Malfoy who calls me Mudblood.
Now, I know you must be close to fainting, thing how could I have feelings for him, ferret, as he his know. See mum, he approached me first. He told me he liked me, in those words, no, but he said it, and I watched his face- believe me, he wasn't lying. You taught me well mum. I could spot anyone lying, but he wasn't. Please trust me, we haven't "gone out" yet.
Much love,
Hermione.
By the time Hermione had written that, begin careful in what she said, it was ten minutes since she was in the room full of Slytherins.
she sighed as she rolled up the piece of parchment, and placed it in a draw in the desk.
Rising, Hermione tucked the chair under the table, and headed over to the bathroom.
She opened the door, to see Malfoy sitting there, all by his lonesome.
Hermione smiled as she walked over to him, her footsteps echoing off the stone walls.
'What did you want?' Hermione asked, sitting on the edge of the pool.
'I wanted to know a few things.' Malfoy said, thinking.
Hermione waited.
'And they are?'
'One, how did Weasley take it and two, what was wrong before the Slytherins raided?'
'Well, to answer your first question, I don't really know, and the second, it was to do with Ron.'
'Tell me what happened.'
Hermione looked at him before answering his question slowly and carefully.
When she was done, there was silence in the bathroom for about three minutes before someone knocked on Malfoy's bathroom door.
Hermione sprang to her feet, and walked over to her door and walked threw it, while Malfoy did the same to his.
Malfoy waited for Hermione to disappear threw her door before opening the door.
When he opened the door, something flew itself on him.
The shock wore off pretty quickly, and he looked down to see Aj grabbing onto him for dear life. Malfoy was confused, usually pansy did this.
'Aj?' what in Merlin's name are you doing?'
'They dared Pansy to kiss me, and the lesbian is trying to do it!' Aj seamed scared out of her mind, but Malfoy didn't blame her. He'd run too if pansy tried to kiss him. 'But Jamie had a good grip on her when I looked.'
'Quick, hide in Granger's room.' Malfoy said, as she ran past him and over to Hermione's room.
Hermione answered Aj and looked surprised.
'What are you doing?' Hermione asked, smiling all the same.
'Running from a lesbian.' Aj answered quickly.
Hermione looked confused but stepped aside and let Aj breeze into her room.
Malfoy watched Aj disappear into Hermione's room, and walked casually into his room.
Seconds after Malfoy sat on his bed, pansy burst into his room, looking around for Aj.
'Where is she?' Pansy asked Malfoy.
'Where's who?' Malfoy asked casually.
'Aj. I'm supposed to kiss her for a dare.'
'And you want to kiss a girl?' Malfoy asked, raising his eye brow.
'No, but it's for a dare. Now, where did she go?' Malfoy had never heard pansy speak to him like that.
'I don't know, I was in the bathroom.'
pansy walked over to the balcony door, and opened it swiftly, as though hopping Aj was hiding there.
Malfoy prayed that Hermione had had enough sense to lock her balcony door.
Pansy walked out onto the balcony and checked it by lighting up her wand. She saw no Aj.
Malfoy walked out after her, careful to take his time and not arouse suspicion.
pansy returned to Malfoy's room, and began looking.
She looked under the bed, in his trunk even.
'Hey!' Malfoy thundered when she went threw his trunk.
Pansy only shrugged and continued looking around Malfoy's room.
After a pause, she asked Malfoy something.
'Have I checked the bathroom?'
How short is this girls memory span? Malfoy asked himself. he shook his head.
Pansy headed for the bathroom, and searched that too.
Pansy then realized Aj wasn't here at all…which only left Hermione's room.
She walked over to Hermione's door, and knocked.
Hermione didn't answer.
'Mudblood! OPEN UP OR I'LL BLAST THE BLOODY DOOR DOWN!'
that got Hermione's attention.
Malfoy had walked over from his room, feeling very sorry for Aj as she was about to get the kiss of Hell. Anything pansy Parkinson gave was hell.
But when Pansy walked in, Malfoy behind her (having to stop at the door way), he saw no Aj.
He looked questionably at Hermione, but she simply winked and smiled.
Malfoy looked everywhere with his eyes for Aj. Pansy looked under the bed, went through Hermione's trunk… looked under the desk- everywhere, and yet, Aj wasn't in sight.
Pansy screamed in frustration.
She ran over to Hermione's balcony door, unlocked it, and ran out. Moments later, she appeared, having come back from the bathroom.
She had done a loop, no hope in finding Aj.
Pansy was fuming. She walked stiffly over to Hermione's door that led to the common room, disappeared threw it, but reappeared moments later, practically ripping her hair out from anger.
'Where is she?' Pansy screeched, pointing at Hermione.
'I don't know who you're talking about!' Hermione yelled back.
'I know you do!' pansy screamed again. She seamed to content with blaming Hermione.
She ran at Hermione and knocked her to the ground.
Hermione yelled from pain as her head smacked the ground.
Malfoy was shouting at Pansy, knowing the damage she could cause to someone so frail as Hermione.
Damn these stupid charms! Malfoy thought.
Pansy, for once in her life, wouldn't obey Malfoy, so he whipped out his wand, and blasted her off Hermione instead.
The Slytherin flew across the room, stood up, and faced Draco.
'I'm sorry Draco.' Pansy muttered, before marching past him and disappearing into the common room.
Hermione rose by herself, and looked at Malfoy.
She wasn't hurt, which amazed Malfoy, she was simply in shock.
'By the way, where is Aj?' Malfoy asked. 'You had her running in circles didn't you?' he smirked.
'No.'
'She'd of had to be.' Malfoy smirked again.
'She hasn't moved since she walked into my room.' Hermione answered. 'She's been here all the time, and is listening to what im saying right now.'
For some reason, Malfoy looked up at the roof.
'No Draco. I'm not on the roof.' Malfoy's head snapped down and around.
Hermione smiled.
'Aj, stand next to Malfoy, on his…right.'
Hermione got her wand from her bed, and waved it.
Aj appeared right next to Malfoy, slightly in the bathroom.
Malfoy laughed.
Aj had been hiding under a charm the whole time. One that made her blend in with her backgrounds.
Hermione and Aj grinned.
'It was Hermione's idea.' Aj laughed.
Malfoy smirked. He then walked back over to his room, and went into the common room.
Pansy was being laughed at by most of the Slytherins, but they were starting to shut up when Pansy began yelling and sending death glares.
'Draco, where's Aj?' Jamie asked coming up to him.
'In Granger's room.' Malfoy smirked.
Pansy was currently screaming her head off at anyone who talked to her. Most of her girlfriends tried, but she ignored them, but when the guys tried, she screamed and started hitting them.
After a minute, Hermione's room door opened, and Aj walked through. Pansy saw her, and ran at her.
Aj whipped out her wand and next moment, pansy was lying on the ground, tied up in ropes.
'I don't care if it was for a dare pansy, but wanting to kiss a girl is just wrong.' Aj smiled sweetly.
The whole room laughed at pansy, and she looked like she was ready to kill Aj. Hermione walked through her door seconds later and looked at pansy.
She whispered in Aj's ear.
'I could do what she did to me and worse.' Hermione whispered viciously.
'No.' Aj said sharply. 'That would be sinking to her level.'
Hermione looked at her then at pansy.
'Your right.'
Never the less, they never let pansy go.
Pansy's friends tried, but Hermione put a seal on it, and it was unbreakable unless either Aj or Hermione herself undid it. And at the moment, none had the intention to do so.
Hermione didn't stay long in the room full of Slytherins- after half in hour of them staring at her made Hermione uncomfortable.
In Hermione's opinion, however much she wouldn't want to say it out loud, the Slytherins sure knew how to party!
After twenty minutes of Aj and Hermione entering, six of the boys moved the chairs and tables of the common room aside and someone started playing heavy metal. Hermione could only guess it was coming from their wands.
But all the Slytherins got up to dance, Aj and Jamie- Blaize and one of pansy's friends…Pansy and Malfoy where the only Slytherins not dancing.
Malfoy was over next to Hermione and was talking, while pansy jealously watched form a corner where Blaize and Jamie had carried her off to.
'So Granger, why aren't you dancing?' Malfoy asked.
'Because I don't want to.'
'Do you know how?' Malfoy smirked.
'Yes.' Hermione snapped.
'But like we dance?' Malfoy asked, pointing to the Slytherins.
'Well, no.' Hermione answered.
'Wanna learn how?'
'No.' Hermione said quickly.
Malfoy smirked.
'Come on.' he said, getting her hand.
'No.' Hermione pulled back.
'Oh come on granger, it'll be fun!'
'Fun for whom?' Hermione muttered.
At this, she didn't want to be there, knowing she was the only Gryffindor with a whole room full of Slytherins.
Sighing, Hermione scanned the room one more time before heading back to her own room.
Ok, now I know I made the Slytherins different, and some may have a go at me because of it, but remember, in the Harry potter books, we only look at the Slytherins through a particular view, so we don't know, maybe they do party like this a lot, but we just don't know it, because, lets face it, the Gryffindors wouldn't know if the Slytherins partied would they!
So, that's that.
Thanks for my 100 reviews!
