A/N: I know, I know! I haven't updated for ages but with exams you know…and I have also hung up two one shots. So I'm really sorry but I hope this chapter is long enough for you (it's longer than the other ones).

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, what a shame.

LAST CHAPTER:

"Listen clearly, Granger, I'll only tell you once. Remember what I told you? That I was free to give it to any girl I wanted, and I gave it to you to make you feel special? That it was a family treasure that a Malfoy gives to the girl they love? Well, I still think that you should keep it, even though I don't show it, because I…still lo-love you. Now, remember my last words. I told you that when you wore it, you would show that you still remembered me and you told me you would do it. Please, keep doing it, He-Granger. But don't make this conversation give you false illusions, because I will stay with Park-Pansy until I marry her" he then walked away.

"Well Ronald, really, I…" I am very happy you asked but I can't. That was what I had to tell him, but I couldn't. I didn't want our friendship broken. But the words of Draco were sill ringing in my head: I will stay with Par-Pansy until I marry her. I had to move on, didn't I? So when better than now? "I would love it, Ronald" I forced a smile. I saw his face shine as he threw his arms round my neck and kissed me. This time I couldn't object. Their kisses were so different… on the contrary of Draco, his were soft, caring and a bit clumsy and I didn't feel electricity and passion run down my body, but well, I needed to get used to them.

But I didn't realise, that someone, in the highest tower was looking at me with Ron and that his eyes were flaming with anger, jealously and betrayal.

Chapter 16: Addicted

"Addicted"

I heard you're doing okay
But I want you to know
I'm a addic
I'm addicted to you
I can't pretend I don't care
When you don't think about me
Do you think I deserve this?

I tried to make you happy but you left anyway

I'm trying to forget that
I'm addicted to you
But I want it and I need it
I'm addicted to you
Now it's over
Can't forget what you said
And I never wanna do this again
Heartbreaker

Addicted – simple plan

Next morning I woke up with a headache. As I went to wash my face and my teeth, I replayed last night. Oh NO! I was going out with Ron! How could I be so stupid to agree? You were blinded by jealousy and you would have said yes to anyone and why was I jealous? Oh yeah. Draco marrying Parkinson. I tied my hair into a messy bun and went downstairs. I stayed there a bit but then I remembered that I shouldn't wait for Draco.

I sat down on my usual seat, between Ron and Harry. But there was no Harry anymore, it was Ginny there. Why? Ron must have asked him to be alone with him. Weren't we friends? Well, it didn't matter. As soon as I sat down, I felt someone kiss my cheek. I turned around and saw Ron. Oh, of course, we were going out.

"hmmmm hi Ron, how are you?"

"Better than never!" he said cheerfully. Oh my, what I had done. He believed I was going out with him because I loved him. Well, maybe I should learn to love him, now that there was no Draco anymore. Stop thinking about him. Today he was going to see what jealousy was.

When we finished breakfast, both of us went to class. When we exited the Great hall, I saw someone following us. I looked from the corner of my eye to see who was there and I caught a glimpse of the lightest blond hair. Perfect, I could start my strategy.

"So Ron, what about going to Hogsmeade next weekend together?" I spoke a bit louder than normal. He turned around at me, and smiled goofily. He said that of course, and did just what I wanted me to do. He kissed my right in front of Draco. I looked at him an instant and I saw him go rigid and for a moment I saw anger in his eyes. For a moment. As the kiss ended I turned around and saw the two Slytherins kissing. He wanted a fight? He would have it!

I passed an arm round Ron's neck as I pulled him closer brutally and kissed him furiously, my hand going crazy through his hair and down his back. He kissed me slowly and with a bit more of shyness as his hand rested on my butt. Perfect movement.

Draco exploded as he saw Ron touch me. He pressed Parkinson against the wall and started to lift her shirt, making sure I saw it. Then…

"What is going on here?" Snape said from behind us as we parted away "is this the model you should show to young students? Head Girl and…Head boy? Fifty points less from each house!" we saw the sand clocks (A/N: do you say it like this? I just translated it from Spanish) turn and loose sand.

"We are really sorry, professor" I excused us.

"Tomorrow's night of detention for Mr. Weasley and Ms. Parkinson, while Wednesday and Thursday's for Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy, for being Heads" said this, he turned and walked away.

I glared angrily at Draco as he did the same. But Ron and Parkinson only shrugged, not knowing what this was about. The next of the day, was all similar to the breakfast 'incident'. Draco or I showing our affection towards Parkinson or Ron, who gladly accepted it, and the other pair returning it.

Later that day, I sat on the common room of Gryffindor, trying to do my homework by not noticing Ron's stares. Then I exploded. I told him to stop staring at me, that if she didn't want to do his homework he could go away, but he only told me he wanted to spend time with me alone, and he specified without Parkinson or Malfoy. So he had noticed. I told him that it would be later, because now I needed to do my homework. He humpfed and went away towards the common room portrait and he bumped into someone, but didn't look at who it was and went away. It had been Harry. He came to me and asked me if we could talk, and he specified somewhere private. I suggested my room and he accepted. After we had sealed the room with most of the silencing spells we knew, he started:

"What is going on, Hermione?" he asked me, looking into my eyes with his emerald green eyes "what has happened?"

"Nothing to worry about, Harry. Nothing has happened" I said sadly as I looked away. He lifted my head so I still looked into his eyes.

"Stop playing at this! We both know there is something wrong with you! with you and with…Malfoy" he said seriously "come on, tell me!"

"Oh Harry!" I said as I started to cry in his shoulder. He hugged my tightly and waited until I had calmed down a bit more.

"Well… on Christmas, he gave me this ring" I started, but was interrupted.

"He gave you this ring? Do you have an idea of how much this costs? This emerald stones must cost so much! And the gold! He must love you a lot" I said surprised.

"Yeah I know. And it is his family treasure, that he could gave it to anyone he liked, to the one he really loved and that if I wore it, that meant I remembered him. Well, just after Christmas and after he had given this present to me, he…well, he was with Parkinson. Exactly after my accident. The day I came out of the infirmary I saw him with Parkinson. Two times. Kissing her the way he kissed me and in the same couch. They were a couple. next day, he just told me that all had finished. I really don't know what made him change his opinion of me, but I think he just played with me. played with my heart, just to win a bet or something similar. I told him and he didn't even answer, so I threw him the ring. The next days were confusing. He was at my side one day and the other at Parkinson's, until one day I told him I still cared for him" I breathed deeply and I saw Harry's eyes on mine, looking into my soul "he then shoved me against the wall and kissed me furiously as he said that he had done that because he wanted me but couldn't have me. After, the most unthinkable thing happened" I looked down at my feet, replaying that evening on my mind "he said that all the things he had said about the ring were true, that he still…he still…loved me but he would marry Parkinson" I whispered the last part "then Ron came. I was so desperate I told him I wanted to go out with him, only to make M-Malfoy jealous. That's what I've been doing all the days"

I lowered my hands to my face as I started to cry soundly. Harry came to me and hugged me tightly. It was so relieving having told someone… and more if it was Harry. You can always tell him anything. "Its ok, Hermione, its ok" he said one and another time as he held me in his arms until I fell asleep.

Harry levitated me until my common room, where he knocked various times until he received an answer.

"What d'you want, Potter?" Draco asked looking around. He then saw me and left out an 'oh'.

16. Draco

Potter entered our common room levitating Hermione. He looked at me waiting for something and I realised he wanted to know where to leave Hermione. I pointed up the stairs, and he went up with her. Minutes later I saw him come down, with a frown in his face.

"Malfoy"

"Yeah, I think that's my name, well done, Potter" I mocked.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Good one, dad!" Beverly said as Draco smirked.

"I know it, I…" he started proudly.

"Hey, you can't teach her how to tease! And against Harry!" Hermione said desperately.

"I like the jokes dad does to Uncle Potter" she smirked the Malfoy's smirk.

"I don't even know why I let you call him Potter. It's for your fault, Draco!" she pointed accusingly at him.

"I know, and I am proud of it"

"Oh shut up and continue the story"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"I need to talk to you about something important" he said seriously.

"hmmm need advice on how to catch a girl? Sorry, but my tactics are secr-"

"Oh shut up! It's about Hermione, Malfoy" I went serious too. What had she told him? "All" he had nearly read my mind "I know it all" he said looking at me angrily. "How could you do this to her? She loved you! She loved you more than you can imagine! She was so happy and merry that days that… I don't know why you have done it. Hell, of course I know. I wanted to say to everyone you had her in your hand, didn't you? I don't even know why I believed you. why I trusted you to keep her and make her happy!" he shouted as he came near me "why do you have to be so…so…fucking stupid?" he roared and came close to me and grabbed my collar. "Why?" he asked again, pulling me closer to him.

"P-Potter, calm down!" it was the only words I could think of.

"You want me to calm down?" he always was so over reactive "I'll calm down when you tell me what the bloody hell is happening here!" he looked at me with a glare he had looked at me only a few times, of pure anger.

"Ok, ok, I'll tell you if you leave me!" I tried. I rather tell him the truth than die. He looked at me closely for some seconds and then released me and we sat down in opposite couches. He then told me to go to the point quick.

"Well, I… I received a letter from my father telling me that if I was still with Hermione, he would hurt her. I didn't take it seriously until she hurt her arm" I remembered that day, it had been dreadful "it had been them, Potter". He knew who I was talking about, of course he knew, he had them behind him for about six years. "I…I then decided to go out with Parkinson so she was secured and out of risk, but as you understand I didn't tell her because she would go crazy and…well you know" I explained "and like this is how it ended." I looked at him to see his expression. He looked at me blankly but then understood. His face softened as he came towards me smiling so softly that it scared me.

"Well, if this is true, you're not so bad after all, but I warn you, that if this happens again, I'll beat the hell out of you. Anyway, I want something done, because I can't bare seeing Hermione in the state she is in now"

"I promise tomorrow will be different" and after I had said this, he went away.

16. Hermione

I woke up next morning trying to remember how I had ended up in my bed. I was in Harry's room and… I must have felt asleep and he brought me here.

I was going to enter the bathroom when I heard some noise inside.

"Come on, Malfoy, get out, I need to shower!" I shouted trying to sound convincing.

I opened the door and someone did come out, but not a blond-haired boy but a dark haired girl. Pansy Parkinson. She came out running and I could only catch a glimpse of her, but I noticed her tears. They were running down her face very quickly and she was hiding them with her hands. What was wrong with her? Malfoy must have bed another one. I entered the bathroom and showered. When I came out I was in high spirits and went down to the Great Hall to wait for Ron and Harry. Instead of them, there was Ginny and Lavender, talking in whispers.

"What's going on? What are all these secrets?" I asked interested.

"Well, there are some rumours about Draco Malfoy…"

"He has left Pansy Parkinson! And now he is free! Yay!" Ginny shouted happily. So that was the reason why I had found Parkinson in the toilet crying

"Well, and now, they say he is with…" Lavender started but stopped when she saw Parvati Patil coming towards us, quickly. When she reached our table, she stopped to catch her breath.

"Do you know? Oh I suppose you don't, if not you should have fainted" she looked at us seriously "Draco Malfoy is GAY! Yes, they say he is going out secretly with none other than our Harry Potter!" all of them gasped at that gossip.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"What? Dad, I didn't know it! How could you, poor mummy!" Beverly said about to cry.

"Hey, hey, calm down darling. Do you think that me, the most handsome student Hogwarts has ever seen, would be gay and that now he would be married?" Draco said smirking sexily.

"Who said you were the hottest? I personally think that Harry…" Hermione teased.

"What? Oh please, Hermione! How can you say that Potter is better than me? I'll show you" Draco started to unbutton his shirt, grinning mischievously. Her eyes widened as she saw his intention.

"Ok, ok, you are more handsome, but please, Bev is here!" Hermione Granger said desperately. He laughed and then she realised his real intentions was not to undress but to tease her.

"Oh, you two, stop this teasing! I want to know if dad is really gay, so finish the story!" their daughter said and they laughed, she was more sensible than both of them.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Well, now that you say it, I saw him with a Ravenclaw…" and this is how it started. During that week, it was too much for me. Draco was paired with Luna Lovegood, told to be a McGonagall's lover,…

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Oh dad! I think it's better to be gay…" she started.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

But the worst of all is that he was all the time surrounded by girls, who wanted to be the fortunate ones to go out with him, or snog him. And there were many of them who achieved it. It passed no more than a week when he changed a girlfriend, who you saw crying in a corner with Myrtle. Each time I entered the common room I found him there. One day like any other, with a blonde Hufflepuff that blushed when I told her to go away. Draco smiled at her sexily and said huskily in her ear another place and another time. She ran away, probably to find her friends and tell them that she had had the best experience of her life kissing Draco Malfoy.

And it killed me.

I hate to see him with a girl who isn't me. I can't reprimand anger when I see him touch her the way he used to touch me. Hold her the way he hold me. Whisper into her ear promises he whispered into mine. Promises that weren't fulfilled. No. he told me he loved me and that we would end up together, which I don't think very probable of happening. He told me we would overcome all difficulties together. He lied. And I wanted to hate him. I truly wanted, but I couldn't. I would have been so easy if I did…but I loved him too much. I was addicted to him.
