a/n Thank you to all of my reviewers! Here is the next chap. This Michael is the one I mentioned earlier in the book.

Hermione went into a separate hall way and waited for Draco. He was in serious trouble when she saw him. Finally he came and he looked a little pale.

"What did you do to Harry?" She asked her voice a deadly whisper.

"What? I haven't done anything to him yet." Draco looked at her confused

"What do you mean by yet?" Hermione asked raising her eyebrows.

"Well… you see I was planning to duel him in the hall way," Draco lied.

"Then why is he limping""

"Oh, that was hilarious; you see he was walking down the hall in a huff. So I decided to trip him and he ended up falling right on top of Pansy and she…" he stopped at Hermione's look. "What?"

"Draco Malfoy why did you do that?" Hermione demanded.

"Just because I'm with you doesn't mean I have to be nice to Potter," Hermione raised her eyebrows again.

"You can at least try you know." He sighed and looked into her eyes, glad that she didn't know what he was planning on doing.

"Ok," he smiled slightly and pulled her into a kiss. Suddenly a loud screech was heard in the hall. Both of them jumped apart and ran out into the main hall way.

"Pansy!" Draco yelled seeing her with her wand pointed at a writing Michael.

She stopped and Michael got up slowly. Hermione rushed over to him. "It's ok; I'll take you to the hospital wing." She said and helped him up. Looking behind her she was that Draco was gone and sighed before helping the hobbling Michael along.

"So your with Draco," it wasn't a question. Hermione looked at him shocked.

"Er... Well…" Michael laughed.

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone, you should just be careful," his face went dark.

"Why?"

"Well don't tell anyone I told you, but I heard him talking to some of his friends. He was bragging about how he was going to get the Dark Mark soon and how he was using you to get close to Harry. He said he was personally going to hand Harry over to the Dark Lord." He shivered and Hermione's face went white. After helping Michael to the hospital wing she went to go tell Harry about her and Draco. Then she was going to go ask Draco what the hell was happening.

"Harry, I have to tell you something. I'm seeing…"

"Malfoy, I know." He grinned at her.

"Well I saw you two kissing the other day, don't worry I haven't told Ron. Just be careful Hermione and if he hurts you just tell me so I can say I told you so and beat him up." Hermione smiled at him and gave Harry a big hug. Thanking him again she left to go find Draco.

She found him lurking in the hall way and she quickly went up to him. He smirked at her.

"So where did we leave off?" He asked taking her into his arms. Hermione glared at him and he let go. "What is wrong?" He asked confused.

"When were you planning on telling me that you were getting the Dark Mark and giving Voldemort Harry?" Draco looked at her opened mouthed.

"Who told you that?" He asked quietly.

"Michael."

"So he told you, damn that wasn't part of the deal." Draco cursed.

"So it's true?" Hermione looked at him with hurt eyes. If it was true, all true even the part about him using her.

"Let me explain, you see Pansy jumped me, told me she knew about us, I slept with her, then ran into Michael…" He was cut off by Hermione's eyes widening. He cursed his babbling mouth. He hadn't meant to say the Pansy part.

"You did what?" Hermione looked at him anger blazing in her eyes.

"I only did it to protect you."

"What!" Hermione asked shocked.

"Well she was going to tell my father."

"So you would rather sleep with her then come and talk to me about it?" She asked him.

"No that isn't it," she was taking it all the wrong way! He thought to himself.

"Then enlighten me Draco, why did you sleep with her?"

"I didn't want my father to hurt you." He said begging her to understand.

"I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU FATHER!" Hermione screamed at him.

"YEAH? WELL I AM!" Draco shouted back. "I'm afraid that if Pansy tells him, that he'll hurt you and if he ever hurt you I don't what I would do. If he ever killed you, I don't know how I could live with myself. Knowing that you died because of Pansy and I could have stopped it." He looked at her and saw tears running down her face. His hand went up to brush them off.

"I just need time to think about it," she said and Draco nodded watching her turn around and walk away.
