Oh here's the update I promised! i know its like really short but i have to go on vacation so i figured that i'd post a short one and then a longer one when i get back...
After another week of Hermione on edge and Draco irritated about Hermiones sudden guilt and resulting prude ness, they finally heard some good news. As soon as they woke up and got ready there was a knock on the door, Hermione rushed as fast as she could down the stairs and flung the door open. "Hello," she gasped for air. Dumbledore stood at the door a wide smile across his face.
"I am happy to inform you Ms. Granger that your friends, Ms. Weasley, and Mr. Zabini, are doing much better." He said.
"Really what did they have?" she asked "are they totally cured?"
"Actually ironically enough they just had a simple flu, but because people rarely get them anymore the nurses entirely forgot to check for it. They are completely healed but considering that there is only a couple weeks left in the trip they are going to just go back to Hogwarts." Hermione's jaw dropped at hearing those words... 'No Ginny here?' She thought. And she wouldn't be able to tell Ginny about her and Malfoy either. She nodded and Dumbledore walked away she then closed the door, turned around, and slid down the door onto the floor. She was extremely relieved that Ginny and Blaise were fine, but she had to tell Ginny. Ginny never kept anything from her, yet she hadn't been telling Ginny anything during the past weeks, and it upset her.
Malfoy strode into the room and went to stand in front of Hermione. "What's wrong with you?" he asked insensitively. She glared up at him and then buried her head in her knees. "No, no ok… I'm… I'm sorry ok?" She lifted her head up and looked at him, Draco Malfoy said sorry? "Maybe," she thought, "This relationship thing we have, whatever it is, is really changing him."
"Yeah ok" she said still in a bit of shock. "Well Blaise and Ginny are better." She said smiling briefly and then her smile faded into a frown."
"Really when are they going to be back?" Draco said entirely missing her frown.
"Oh-um they're not coming back, they went back to Hogwarts." She said tried to hide the fact that she was still upset.
"Oh, is that what's wrong?" he asked.
"Oh umm yes that's it." She muttered. She really didn't want him to know that she was just itching to tell someone anyone about their situation, just to rid the guilt of not telling Ginny. He looked at her not giving a second thought to the shakiness of her voice.
"Well we only have three weeks left before were back at Hogwarts, you'll see Ginny then." He said trying to comfort, but it was awkward because as hard as he was trying, comforting was not his forte.
"Speaking of when we get back…" Hermione said, nervous to bring up the subject. "What are we going to do, I mean yes we will still share a common room. But well, do we just go on in secret."
"Yes Hermione! What are we going to do? Tell everyone? If-if pansy and Blaise, found out they would—Hermione you know this has to be secret!" he yelled while backing away from her. As soon as he was done he looked down, and then at Hermione. "I-I-I"
"No its ok, were totally different people, you're a Slytherin, im Gryffindor. I get it ok?" she said as her eyes tear-ed up.
"its not that I don't want everyone to know about us, its just, do you know what my father would do to me, regardless of the situation your still—a—a Mudblood in there eyes." He whispered the last part.
"But im not, Draco! You know that, my blood is just as pure as yours is!" she shouted back.
"But don't you see it doesn't make a difference to them, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, My father, your still a Gryffindor and your still friends with potter!"
"But you're like th- there leader or whatever, can't you convince them? All the Slytherins I mean, and then they won't tell your father?"
"Hermione, pansy would hate you even more than she does now if she new about us, and if she won't take my side then Crabbe and Goyle might not either. And to tell you the truth I don't really wanna risk it."
"You don't wanna risk it? Draco, you knew that this wouldn't be easy, what you figured that it all would just end when we went back, and that all of this would just be another memory of our trip." She stared at him looking for an answer. He just looked at her and then looked at his feet.
"YOURE KIDDING! DRACO MALFOY, DID YOU JUST MEAN FOR ME TO BE ANOTHER GIRL, LIKE ALL THE ONES BEFORE? YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I.WILL.NOT.LET.THAT.HAPPEN." she gasped for air, her face as red as the Gryffindor crest, and she stormed up to her bedroom muttering something that sounded like "Unbelievable" and slammed the door.
