Don't Deal With Love

Chapter 14: Agreeing to Break and Ron's got a Plan?
"Hermione, are you alright?" Ron asked, sitting next to her in the small compartment. Hermione didn't answer him. "Hermione, please, tell me what's wrong."
"What's wrong? What's wrong! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG! I WAITED FOR A LETTER FROM YOU! YOU NEVER WROTE TO ME! NOT ONCE!"
"Hermione, I did write to you. Both of us did. Every time we sent you a letter, the owls would come back injured and without a response or even what we sent you, if it didn't get to you. The last letter we sent you, the owl came back empty handed and injured so bad that he died the next morning. We decided it best not to attempt another letter, if we were to have owls come back to us and just die. We even made an attempt to find Malfoy Manor. It was nowhere to be found. Percy even did a check at the Ministry to find where you were. No luck. Please don't be mad at us Hermione. We tried, we really did. We're sorry." Ron looked at her with pleading eyes.
How could she resist the look he was giving her? She didn't know what was going on outside of the manor. So, technically, she shouldn't be mad. She smiled and hugged Ron. "it's okay, Ron. I forgive you." she looked around. "Where's Harry?"
"Oh, he said that he'd be on his way. He just had to talk to somebody."
No sooner than that was said, Harry came bursting trough the door. "Sorry I'm late." He looked at Hermione and Ron. "So, everything resolved?"
"Yup." Ron said cheerily. "And I've still got my girl."
Hermione frowned as Ron placed an arm around her shoulders.
"I mean with you as well, Hermione?" Harry asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Ron, can you excuse us for a minute? I need to ask Hermione about something."
Ron, not understanding, said, "Sure Harry. Just don't lose her!"
Harry led Hermione a long ways to another empty compartment. "Have you told Ron about you and Malfoy? Have you told Malfoy even?"
"H-how do you know? Don't be mad at me! Please, Harry!"
"Narcissa and Lucius stopped me on my way onto the train. Narcissa asked me to help you fix the problem. I'm not mad at you Hermione. But the first thing that you do need to do is tell Ron. I'll be there with you."
They left the compartment and made their way back to Ron. Hermione sat next to him while Harry sat across from him.
"Ron, what I'm about to tell you, I'm afraid you won't like. Before I start, I want to say that I'm sorry."
"Hermione, whatever it is, it's fine. We can work out what ever it is. But first, I need to tell you something. I don't mean to hurt you or anything, but I think we should see other people."
"Huh?" Hermione was dumbfounded. Wasn't that supposed to be her line?
"Now, what were you going to say, Hermione?"
"Err……I was going to say the very same thing."
"Really? You wanted to break it off with me? When did you decide this, not that I'm upset about it or anything? I'm not upset. I'm actually quite relieved that we decided this."
"I…erm…decided this right before the end of hols."
"Oh. Well, was there anything else that you wanted to tell me?"
"Actually, I kind of…fell in love." she said slowly.
"With who? Do we know him…or …her?" Harry collapsed, laughing at Ron's stab at humor.
"Ron! I'm not gay!" she said defensively, smiling.
"I know! I was just saying! What if you changed a little too much while you were gone? I was just asking." Ron said, laughing.
"You mustn't get angry with me when I tell you. Okay?"
"Okay Hermione." Ron put on a serious face.
"Draco Malfoy." she whispered.
Ron automatically burst out laughing. "That's funny Hermione. Never thought that you'd be the joking kind." then Ron noticed that he was the only one laughing. He looked from Hermione to Harry. Both were not laughing. "You're not joking are you?" he asked.
"No, Ron, I'm not. I love him. And funny enough, he loves me too." she said in a painful tone.
"Merlin, Hermione! What happened to you over hols?" he asked, shocked.
Hermione once again went into full detail about her summer. And when she got to the end. Both Harry and Ron were silent. Silent wasn't the word. They were speechless.
"That prick!" Ron shouted.
"Ron, please. Don't be angry with me."
"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at him!"
"Don't be mad at him either."
"After what he did to you! He hurt you Hermione! I can't let him get away with it."
"Ron, don't hurt him. Don't do anything to him." Hermione pleaded.
"Oh no. I'm not going anywhere near him. Did you say that he was getting married tomorrow?" he asked suspiciously.
"I smell trouble." Harry stated.
"Yes, tomorrow. Why?"
"If you love him and he loves you, then what's keeping you two apart. I want you to be happy. I'm sure Harry does too. If it means getting you and Malfoy together and you living happily ever after, then, Harry and I will be happy with you being happy with Malfoy." Ron explained.
"Ron, what are you planning?" Hermione asked nervously.
"We can't let him marry Pansy! That's what he's saying Hermione!" Harry said happily.
Hermione thought about it for a minute. She had never been one to break up a couple. Pansy and Draco were no couple…not yet. Hermione wanted to be with Draco. What was stopping her from crashing his wedding?
She smiled maliciously. " What did you have in mind doing, Ron?" She was going to have her dragon in the end.
A/N: I hope all of you were happier with this chapter, even though it really sucked.
