Chapter Eight:
Harry stormed over toward the Slytherin table in the Great Hall. He stood behind Draco and waited for him to turn around.
Malfoy glanced over his shoulder at Harry. "Can I help you Potter?"
Harry reached over and pulled Draco to his feet. "What did you do to Hermione!" He asked, shaking Malfoy a bit. "And don't say nothing because I know you did something to her!"
Everyone was staring at Harry and Draco, wondering what was going on. Crabbe and Goyle had stood up, but Draco held a hand up to keep them back. This one was between him and Potter.

Hermione had dragged Ron back to the Gryffindor common room so that she could be alone with him. She sat him down on the couch and started to pace in front of him, making the red-head nervous.
"Mione, will you sit down and relax?" He asked, taking her hand and pulling her down beside him.
"Ron, there's something I need to tell you." Hermione turned toward Ron and placed a hand on his knee. "I've been seeing Draco behind your back." She blurted out, glancing up at her boyfriend.
"What!"

"Stupefy!" Draco called out, pointing his wand at Harry.
Harry easily dodged the spell and pointed his wand at Draco. "Expelliarmus!"
Malfoy stepped away from the disarming spell and shook his head. "Come on, Potter, you can do better than that."
"Potter and Malfoy!" Professor McGonagall screeched, walking over and stepping in between the feuding boys. "That's 35 points from Gryffindor and Slytherin. And detention with me later."
Everyone started to leave the Great Hall and head back to their common rooms. Harry glared at Malfoy.
"Meet me at the lake, Potter." Draco sneered, stalking off with Crabbe and Goyle in tow.
Harry walked out of the Great Hall. He had about 30 minutes before his detention with Snape.
"Harry!" Hermione ran over to her friend, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Hermione, what happened?" He asked, wrapping his arms around her in a comforting hug.
"I told Ron about Draco and me." Hermione sniffled, pulling away from Harry. "He flipped out, Harry. I mean…really flipped out. I've never seen him so upset before."
"Of course he's going to flip out. You told him you cheated on him with Draco Malfoy." Harry spat out Malfoy's name like it was a disease.
Hermione winced slightly. "I'm sorry Harry. It just happened. It's something that has been happening since our first year." She started to tell him what happened with Dumbledore the other night. She was halfway through her story when Seamus came running over.
"Ron and Draco are dueling outside by the lake!" He exclaimed, running away again.
Harry and Hermione glanced at each other before running outside for the lake. Ron and Draco had their wands out and were shooting spells at each other. Hermione had her wand out and ready.
"Sectus…" Ron began.
"Expelliarmus!" Hermione cried, disarming Ron.
Ron looked over at her, a shocked look on his face. "Hermione…"
"You were going to use the sectusempra spell." She whispered, shaking her head slowly.
"Hermione…" Ron reached a hand out to her, but she swatted it away.
"Don't." She said, her voice wavering.
Harry walked up and put a hand on her back. "Come on Hermione."
"Wait." Draco said, grabbing Hermione's arm gently.
Harry clenched his fists. "Stay away from her."
Malfoy shook his head. "I'm not going to, Potter." He looked into Hermione's eyes. "I won't…because I'm in love with her."
Sorry for the short chapter, but I'm starting to go through a dry spell. I don't know when the next chapter will be posted.
