"Good morning students," McGonagall stood to speak, " I need all 7th years to stay and be seated for this quick announcement. Today is you trip into Hogsmeade village to investigate Auror training. I hope you enjoy yourselves and behave, " She glanced at the trio at Gryffindor table, "That is all. Enjoy your meal and have a wonderful day."
The hall began to turn to its regular conversations.
"I hope you two have traveling ink and quills. You'll need to take notes." said Hermione knowingly
"Mione? Why do you always insist that we take notes when you know perfectly well that we study well under your rule and pay attention in class?" Inquired Ron
"Why do you prefer to go?" asked Hermione
"For education's sake." Said Harry
"Since when do you care about education?" asked Hermione
"Since it had to be fun" said Ron
"Hermione, will you please not force us to learn and let us learn?" second Harry
"Fine, what is the difference between a Vampire and a Intremance?"
"Why did you ask that?" Retorted Ron
"Just answer the question."
"Fine, one difference is that Vampires drink blood to survive while Intremances drink blood to remain healthy." answered Harry
"Is that all?" said Hermione
"No, Vampires cannot walk in direst sunlight, step foot into a home uninvited, are repelled by garlic, and are killed by stake to the heart, beheading, or prolonged sun exposure. None of this harms or applies to Intremances" answered Ron with a 'I know it all' grin.
Hermione gave up and just let them come as they were.
"Fine, you win"
"OK, now, what time is it that we have to be at the front doors by?" asked Harry
"eight thirty." answered Ron
"See you all in an hour. I have to go to my dorm." announced Hermione
"Why" both boys asked
"I left my books."
"Always Hermione" Said Ron
Hermione made her way out of the hall and up the grand staircase.
"Harry, What's up with her lately? I mean she's always sneaking away or with Malfoy." said Ron
"I don't know, Ron."
Ginny giggled and caught Harry and Ron's attention.
"I know that giggle, Ginny. What do you know?" asked Ron
"Ginny, what's with Mione?" inquired HArry
"I promised her that I wouldn't tell"
"PLEASE" begged Ron
"This must be killing you if you asked with please" she said sarcastically
"Ginny, I hate begging and you know it."
"I know but it's so fun to watch you blow up," said Ginny with a little giggle in her voice.
"I know that taking sides between a friend and her brother is a bad Idea, but Ron and I need to know what's going on with Mione, and I have to admit that it's pretty funny to watch you get angry like that." said Harry
Ron turned a magnificent shade of red. In his face, you could see anger and smugness at the fact that Ginny just had the smile wiped off her face, but she began to laugh.
"Ginny?" said Ron calmly
"Fine, don't blow up...again, She's meeting Malfoy."
"MALFOY!" yelled the two boys gaining attention from the entire hall
"Yes, Malfoy, They've been together for the almost the entire year. Ever wonder why Malfoy follows Hermione around all day? that's because he's been trying to ask her out." exclaimed Ginny
"Malfoy and Mione?" Ron
"Together?" Harry
"Probably Snogging each other senseless." Ginny
Harry jumped from his seat, inevitably dragging Ginny with him. Ron jumped and followed.
"Harry, slow down!" begged Ginny
Harry only kept his current pace. They soon reached the Heads door and ran through only to find Hermione sitting in Malfoy's lap.
"Mione!" screamed the two boys, Ginny only smirked
"Harry, Ron!" answered Hermione
"Get off him!" Said Ron
"It's not what it looks like!"
"We made Ginny tell, Why Malfoy?" asked Harry
"I fell in love with Draco. You remember the love potions in Professor Josona's class? We did one that unites the two most compatible and most likely to fall in love, your true love so to speak, and we ended up Snogging in front of the class. We already noticed one another, but Harry just let me live my love. I fell for Malfoy!" screamed Hermione
Harry thought 'what if Ron never let me be with Ginny? How would I feel then?'
Ron finally took the last nerve and hit Malfoy directly on the mouth.
"Ron" screeched Ginny
"Mione, I can't see you with that...that son of a bitch!" said a now fuming Ron
"I can" Harry had come to Hermione's rescue from an overacting Ron that was about to kill Malfoy
"Harry, you can't possibly..."
"I can actually. I realized what it would be like without Ginny. Hermione feels that way because of you. Let it go, Ron"
"You said you won't take sides."
"Between you and Ginny. And this one argument is being fought unfairly. I see what Hermione is going through. She didn't tell us because she knew that we would blow up in her face."
Harry turned to Malfoy.
"Now, I really don't like you, but Hermione fancies you. If you ever, ever hurt her, I will hunt you down and kill you, understood?"
Harry pulled his wand to Malfoy's throat.
"Yeah, no problem, I love her. I would never be able to hurt her."
"I didn't know Malfoy's were capable of love?" inquired Ron
"WE are, we just can't wear our emotions on our sleeves." Malfoy dared a glance at Ron's Beat red Face.
"Well at least I don't get with a guy's best friend and not tell him." yelled Ron
"Well, now that you know you can just..."
Hermione cut him off.
"Ron, either you except my commitment to Draco, or you can never speak to me again."
With that, Hermione ran out of the room, she turned to take refuge in the library.
"Now see what you've done Weasel?" said Draco as he ran after Hermione
"Harry, I..." Ron began to say, but something he saw in Harry's face made him stop
"Ron, she's your friend, she found love, please lay off her."
"Harry, Its...It's Malfoy." Ron look hurt "I guess"
"Great, now we can go find Hermione and apologize."
