What's wrong with me?
Chapter 5
"Ron…let go of me!" Ginny yelled as he continued to pull her down the hall. "RON!" she screamed.
"Let her go!" Draco yelled holding his wand out in front of him. Ron just stared at him like he was crazy. "I said, let her go." He repeated.
"Or what…you'll curse me?" Ron said back.
"I'll probably do a lot worse then that Weasel." Draco yelled about to cast a spell when Ron moved his sister in front of him. Draco stopped immediately. "What a nice brother you are, putting your younger sister in front of you to protect yourself."
"I can do whatever I want."
"No Ron, you can't…you don't own me." Ginny said then looked at two people coming down the hallway. "Harry make my brother let go of me." She yelled.
"What…what's going on here?" Harry asked confused.
"Why would you care, and besides…I'm not talking to you." Ron said.
"Then don't." Harry said back coldly. "I wasn't even talking to you." He said and Ron was shocked. "Gin?"
"He thinks he owns my life when he doesn't." she said trying to get away from him.
"Yeah well, he seems to think that about a lot of people." Harry said and looked at Malfoy. "What's with him?"
"He's my boyfriend." She said.
"Oh…so that explains it." Harry said. "That's why Ron's been an ass lately."
"I only found out awhile ago." Ron said bitterly. "What are you doing with the mudblood?"
"I would actually appreciate it if you didn't call her that." Harry said coming closer to his ex-best friend.
"Anything else?" Ron said in a snotty voice.
"Yeah, leave Ginny alone along with her boyfriend," he said. "…And if I hear that you were bothering them again, I'll fucking beat your ass." He said and Ron's eyes widened a bit. "Are we clear?"
"Fuck you." Ron said then walked away, leaving Hermione, Harry, Ginny and Draco standing there.
"Wow…what happened between the two of you?" Draco asked, never seeing them fight before.
"Oh nothing really, I just thought he was the one who was dating Cho, and therefore I got into a fight with him…and not just a screaming fight."
"Damn, where the hell was I?" Draco said, "I would have loved to see that."
"When did this happen exactly?" Ginny asked Harry.
"About an hour or two ago."
"Yeah, Draco you were with me around then." She said and Harry and Hermione looked at them. "What?"
"Sorry, it's just weird, you calling him by his first name instead of his last." Harry said.
"Yeah and when have you started hanging around with Granger?" Draco asked.
"Since…" he started to say then stopped and looked at her. "…The beginning of this school year."
"Wow…and I thought we were the only one's keeping secrets." Draco said as Ginny laughed. "It's not a bad thing or anything, I was just saying."
"Yeah, I know what you meant." Harry said.
"Does she talk?" Ginny asked and Hermione looked at her weird.
"Ginny, she normally never shuts up in class." Draco said to her.
"Well, she's so quiet."
"I just don't know what to talk about really…sorry." Hermione said. "Usually no one talks to me so; I just keep to my self."
"Which isn't going to happen anymore, Hermione." Harry said to her. "My friends are your friends; I think really we should all just get along."
"Alright, who are you and what did you do with the Harry I know?" Ginny said to him coming up and feeling his forehead. He backed away pushing her hand away.
"I'm fine, Ginny." Harry said. "I was just saying."
"Yeah, now see that's not normal." Hermione said to him.
"Hey, what is this?"
"Sorry, Potter, but it just isn't you." Draco said to him. "There both right."
"Hey," Harry said then was cut off.
"We weren't criticizing you, we were only saying." Hermione said in a soft, calm voice.
"Well, I'm having a hard enough day as it is. So please don't make it worse." He told her as he came up to her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Okay." She said to him, he leaned in and gave her a quick kiss then pulled away.
"So, there's more to you two then just friendship, I see." Draco said and they both looked at him.
"So?"
"So, I thought you were so in love with Cho?" Draco said. "I mean you got into a fight with your best friend over her did you not?"
"Your point?" Harry said to him. "Hermione here is actually helping me out, talking to me when I need it."
"And something else." Draco added.
"Excuse-me, but that is none of your business, and no I'm not giving him that." Hermione said to Draco.
"Hey, one can only hope." Draco said, and got hit by both Ginny and Harry. Hermione just stood there with her arms crossed.
"Alright children, lets not start a fight." Harry said and Hermione laughed at him.
"Children?" Hermione said after laughing. "Harry, if anyone's being childish, I'm sorry to say but it's you?"
"Well, my dear, I think I may just have to hurt you." He said playfully.
"You wouldn't dare?" she said, both Ginny and Draco was laughing at them.
"Come here and I will." Harry said back at her.
"Why don't you make me." She said and Harry raised an eyebrow, the took a step forward and she took one back. When he started to come closer she turned around and started running with Harry right on her.
"Run, Hermione!" Ginny yelled, laughing.
"Wow…and I thought we were bad." Draco said.
"What?"
"Oh, he so wants her."
"Well, it looks like he has her, I mean they are dating…well I think anyway?" Ginny said, starting to get confused.
"What are we going to do about your brother?" Draco asked. "I mean, it's obvious he's going to tell your parents about us."
"Well, if he does let's just say they won't be in shock." Ginny said to him.
"Ginny, hello, I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm sure your parents hate me."
"Well, not if I already told them about us?" she said.
"What?"
"I needed to talk to someone, so I went to my mom and I told her." Ginny said. "Yes, she was kind of shocked at first, but then she came to an understanding of maybe how or why I might like you, and she's okay with it."
"And your dad?" Draco asked.
"Oh, his mad, he actually went up to his room and didn't come out for hours. It's not like him to do that…he hates you actually."
"Yeah, I thought so." He said and she smiled at him.
"Don't worry; he'll come to like you eventually." She said wrapping her arms around him and kissed him. He kissed her back, wrapping his one arm around her waist and his other hand he put behind her head.

The next morning Harry walked in the Great Hall by himself, and when he did everyone stopped talking. He walked past them and down by Seamus, Ron was sitting on the other side of the table, "Morning." Harry said as he sat down.
All Seamus did was look at him weird then said, "Morning." He then set the Daily Prophet down on the table in front of him.
Harry looked at it and his eyes widened. In bold on the front page was, 'Harry Potter is no longer single Ladies.' He continued reading. 'It seems like our young Mr. Potter couldn't wait to ask out what is said to be known, Hermione Granger (16), not even a week after his former girlfriend, Cho Chang (17) broke up with him. Is this really his desperation to find someway to make Miss. Chang jealous, or is it really love, that drove Mr. Potter to Miss. Granger, after all. It turns out that we wont know for sure, seeing how this news was brought to us by, what he says is now Mr. Potters ex-best friend. We won't give the name out, but we will be looking more on this story. And if possible we'll even get more facts and maybe even a picture of the two of them.'

Harry set the paper down and looked at Ron, people started talking again, but it seemed to be all about him. When he thought things couldn't get worse, Hermione walked in the Great Hall. The conversations stopped everywhere. She stopped dead in her tracks, seeing as how this wasn't normal. "Ron." Harry said, and looked at him. "Why did you do this?"
"Do what Harry; I have no idea what you're talking about." Ron said then stood up and walked away from him, heading down to where Hermione was standing. Harry didn't realize it but when he did, he noticed that Ron took the paper with him.
