Hermione's P.O.V

I smirked as Harry and I walked over to the Slytherin table. Ginevra deserved the punishment she got. As we walked over to Draco I looked up at Dumbledore and laughed, you could see his shock on his face as plain as day. It was hilarious. As soon as it started the laughter left as I thought about how quickly someone can turn on you. We both reached my brother's table and sat down with me between harry and Draco.

"What's on your mind? You seem like you're lost in thought." My brother asked as soon as I sat down.

"I'm just thinking about how quickly someone you think is your friend can turn on you. I told him truthfully.

"People can turn on you for the simplest of things, like harry turned on you for ratting him out about the firebolt in third year."

"He turned on me because Ronald told him to, I get the feeling though that he only turned on me to keep up an act."

"I stopped trusting people when you were taken. I nearly stopped talking to mum and dad. When I met someone new I didn't trust them, they had to earn my trust. Sometimes it took them a couple of years for me to trust them at all. I never really made any friends due to my inability to trust people." He told us while looking at his hands.

"It must have been hard not having that many friends growing up. Knowing this only makes me want to torture Dumbledore before I kill him. I was seething to the point that everyone could physically see my magic swirling around me. I vaguely felt Harry's arms around me, probably trying to calm me down. It wasn't working.

Harry's P.O.V

Hermione was seething to the point I could actually see her magic, which is never a good thing. I needed to calm her down before she manages to level Hogwarts to the ground. I placed my arm around her trying to calm her down but for the first time since I've known her it didn't work. Glasses and plates were shattering all over the hall and the teachers were trying to get students under their tables. Narcissa was scared and Lucius and Severus were trying to figure out how to stop the outburst. I knew she needed a shock to snap her out of it, I looked at Draco then turned to Lucius and Severus.

"Please don't kill me." With that I leaned down and placed my lips on Hermione's. It didn't take long for her to calm down and return my kiss, her lips were so soft and sweet. After about a minute we stopped kissing each other

"Wow, what was that for Harry?" She questioned me with a blush.

"It was the only way I could think of to shock you out of your anger. It worked." I turned to Lucius. "Is it too late to ask if I could court your daughter lord Malfoy?" I asked after placing Hermione on my lap.

"Of course not Harry and yes you may court her though if you hurt her though you won't just have to deal with me and Draco, you'll have to deal with Severus, tom and Narcissa. Trust me when I say you don't want to see an angry woman with house of black heritage. You've seen Hermione's temper Narcissa's is only slightly calmer at full anger."

"What was that Lucius?"

"Nothing dear. I was just telling harry what he'd have to deal with if he broke Mia's heart."

"I would never break your daughters' heart, I love her too much to do that. If I do so please feel free to hurt me." I replied.

"Just had to make sure you knew." I turned to Hermione and asked

"Hermione will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course I will harry." She said, we both leaned in and kissed each other for the second time that day. When we came up for air there were claps from the slytherin, hufflepuff and ravenclaw tables, there were even some people shouting 'finally'. When Hermione heard this she buried her face in my chest, more than likely blushing furiously.

"What do they mean finally?" I asked Draco.

"Everyone had a bet going on when the two of you would get together."

"When did this bet start and how did Hermione I not figure this out before now?"

"One, we've had it going since the Halloween in our first year, and two, we had to keep it under wraps and when you have slytherins who want to keep something secret. It stays a secret. Of you'd waited I would have won the bet, I think it was Mcgonagall that won." I turned to my house head and saw her smirking the Malfoy smirk. 'I'll need to talk to her about that later.

"What can I say, I know my cubs."

"Professor, can I talk to you and madam Pomphrey after lunch please.

"Of course Harry."
