Chapter 2 – On the Way Back to School
"What happened 'Mione?" Hermione quickly broke her gaze, and looked up to find… Ginny Weasley! She was surprised, but also grateful, to find her girlfriend.
"Oh my god, Ginny!" Hermione stood up and the two girls hugged, like they hadn't seen each other in months. But then again, they really hadn't seen each other in months.
"Mmrph." Since no one turned their attention to Neville, he inwardly sighed and tried it again – this time, louder. "MMRPH!"
"Oh! Sorry Neville!" Hermione quickly spun around and freed Neville. Neville gave a relieved sigh, and muttered a hardly audible 'thank you' before quickly walking away. But… (A/N DUN DUN DUN! THE EVIL PANSY STRIKES AGAIN!) Pansy Parkinson stepped in front of him, blocking his path. Hermione sighed, annoyed, at stomped up to Pansy.
"Parkinson, leave him alone." Pansy merely scoffed at Hermione, and turned to face her.
"What you gonna do, mudblood? Give me a detention?" At the sound of the horrible insult that most of the Slytherins had taken to calling her, Hermione winced visibly. Trying to control her anger, she started taking deep breaths. Pansy laughed, and caught most of the Slytherins' attention.
"Do you need me to get a brown paper bag for you? Oh, poor ittle Granger." Pansy, deciding that she had had enough fun, turned around and stalked away. Hermione started sobbing, which Ginny immediately attended to.
The two girls walked away, Ginny rubbing Hermione's shoulders and talking to her, while Hermione was nodding and sniffling extremely loudly.
Draco sighed, and shuffled back to his compartment. Once inside, he plopped himself down on the soft, cushiony seat, and stared absent – mindedly into space, while thinking about Hermione.
"Herloo?" Pansy clicked her fingers in front of him, but frowned when she got no reaction. Draco suddenly snapped back to reality, and rolled his eyes when he spotted Pansy standing in front of him. She smiled, and sat down next to him. He moved away, but she slowly inched towards him, pouting like a puppy. Pansy slowly started massaging Draco's shoulders, and slowly moved her hands down towards his belt. Draco pushed her away, and, annoyed, Pansy attempted to seduce him again. Draco, getting irritated, walked to the door and squeezed out of the small compartment.
He strolled around aimlessly, just to get away from Pansy. Shivering in disgust, Draco wondered how he could be near Pansy Parkinson and not go insane. She was crazy, making everyone around her crazy.
"What would you like young sir?" Draco turned around to find the tea lady, behind him. Realizing that he was blocking her way, he muttered 'sorry' and stepped to the side. She huffed ungratefully, and kept pushing her trolley. Draco rolled his eyes and kept walking along the aisle. He could still hear the tea lady's booming voice echoing along the long train carriage, stopping every now and then to give someone what they had paid for, and then taking the money that they owed her. Draco sighed, and hoping that Pansy would be gone, returned to his compartment.
Unfortunately, when Draco returned, he found Pansy lying on the sofa, reading the daily prophet. She didn't look up when he sat down opposite her, but instead, gave him the finger.
Ginny nodded, and tried once again, to comfort Hermione. Hermione had told Ginny about her secret relationship with Draco, since she knew she could trust her. Although Ginny was very shocked at first, she had calmed down a bit.
"Please Ginny, promise me you won't tell anyone – not even Ron or your parents! And especially not Harry!" Hermione gave her such a pleading look that she could do nothing else but promise. They sat in silence for a long time, Ginny patting Hermione's back and Hermione still sniffling a little bit, when Ginny spoke up.
"But why, 'Mione? Why can't you just be honest and tell them? That way, you won't have to worry about them finding out!" Hermione gave Ginny a horrifying look, which immediately made Ginny recoil in fear.
"Don't you know what'll happen if they find out? Or even if I tell them? I'll be sabotaging my friendship with them! And they've been my friends for such a long time! I just don't know what to do anymore…" Ginny hugged Hermione sympathetically, but actually thinking
"Oh my god, Hermione's gone crazy. I mean, DRACO? Doesn't she know what he's done to her? And doesn't he hate her enough to kill her? Why do they suddenly like each other? What's with the sudden change of emotions?"
Ginny had so many questions, yet she couldn't ask Hermione. She would know that Hermione would get all fired up and teary again, and would walk away muttering how Ginny was such a bad friend. She sighed, and reassured herself that she would find out sooner or later – more likely later than sooner. Ginny shook her head to clear it, not wanting to confuse herself more than she already had.
"Gin?" Ginny looked at Hermione, and realized that she was trying to talk to her.
"Oh, sorry. Yes 'Mione?"
"You can ask me anything you want, okay? Coz you're my best friend, and best friends don't keep secrets. Which is exactly why I told you about my situation." Ginny considered asking Hermione the questions that were bugging her so much, but then, feeling guilty, decided against it.
"Ok 'Mione. I promise!" Hermione sighed in relief, and gave Ginny a bright smile.
Draco fiddled with his hair, and twiddled his thumbs.
"I'm soooooo bored." He drawled, trying to catch Pansy's attention. It worked. He smirked, and sat down next to her, sliding closer. Then, he leaned in to kiss her, and hexed her. He laughed in glee while pointing at her face, her lips puckered up, ready to snog him. Tears were coming out of the corner of his screwed up eyes; he was laughing so much. The train starting slowing down, and, not wanting to be killed, slid out of the compartment before un – hexing Pansy.
The train started slowing down, and Hermione dried up her last tears before standing up, and giving Ginny a grateful hug. They strolled out of the compartment together, arms around each other. Walking along, a Slytherin boy collided with them from behind. He fell over, and they quickly hurried to his sides to see if he was okay, disregarding the fact that he was a Slytherin (their enemy). Hermione groaned to find Draco Malfoy, but inside, she felt really good just touching him. So many memories came back to her, and she silently cried, tears sliding down her cheeks and dropping lightly onto Draco's school robes.
Draco ran away down the aisle, Pansy stomping after him, furious.
Looking behind him to see how far away she was, he crashed into two girls in front of him. Then, he blacked out…
