Chapter 6

When Hermione and Draco pulled apart, Harry was long gone from the doorway.

"Hermione?" Draco said.

"Umm hmm?" Hermione replied.

"Where does this leave us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, our feelings are obviously mutual, but you're going out with Harry. So what kind of relationship do we have? Just friends? Friends with benefits?" Draco asked. "Unless, of course, you are planning to break up with Harry."

"I don't know what to do. Harry's just been driving me crazy lately, but I don't want to hurt him. I know that he cares about me a lot and is only doing what he's doing to show me that he does care."

"Speaking from a friend's point of view, while he may be doing that to show you that he cares, he is still driving you crazy! If you care about someone, you don't show them by annoying them, you show them by respecting what they want. Speaking from a more than friend's point of view, I care about you too. If you wanted space, I'd give it to you. All you'd have to do would be to ask."

"Draco, I really like you a lot, but I wanna see how things are gonna play out with Harry first, ok? Then I will get back to you," Hermione said.

"Yeah, alright. I should go though before someone catches me here," Draco said. "I'll be waiting for you, Hermione." He kissed her softly and then left. Thankfully, there was still no one in the common room when he went downstairs, so he managed to escape without anyone seeing him. He left Hermione in her room alone, to think about what she was going to do about Harry. She'd been friends with Harry for 7 years, and had wanted to go out with him since the first time they met. But with Draco, she didn't even know how to begin to describe the way she felt when she was around Draco. He made her laugh, even over something stupid, and he could always make her smile, no matter how shitty her day had been. Oh the choices of a teenage mind!

……………………………………………………

Harry took out his Marauder's map to make sure that Draco was out of Hermione's dorm before heading back there. He knocked gently on the door and Hermione went to answer it. If she liked cocky arrogant jerks like Draco, then cocky he would be.

"Morning baby," he said as she opened the door. He smiled down at her.

"Morning Harry," Hermione said. It's a good job Draco just left, Hermione thought to herself. Otherwise Harry would have caught him here. Hermione didn't even want to think about what Harry's reaction would have been if he had seen Draco in Hermione's room.

"Are you feeling better today?" Harry asked.

"Sort of," Hermione replied. "Sorry for telling you to leave last night."

"It's ok. What was going on? You can talk to me about anything you know."

"I'd rather not. It's kinda personal."

"Can I come in? I need to talk to you about something," Harry asked. Hermione fully opened the door and let Harry come in. He sat on her bed next to her.

"Hermione, I'm so sorry. I've been such a jerk to you and I am sorry for that. I know that you need your personal space and I haven't been giving you that."

"Well, I have been a little bit unfair to you though. I've been sort of avoiding you so that I could have some time to myself, but that didn't do anything only make things worst so I am sorry. I know that you just care about me and are trying to look out for me, but sometimes it's just annoying. Sometimes it even seems like you are trying to be more of a big brother than a boyfriend."

"Well, would a brother do this?" Harry asked, leaning in and kissing her passionately. His kisses were nothing like Draco's. Draco's kisses were soft, passionate and meaningful. Harry's were more forceful and lust filled. As he was kissing her, he pushed her backwards onto the bed, and began running his hand up under her shirt, groping her. She frowned into the kiss and Harry moved his hand to the top of her pajama pants and undone the string at the hem. He slipped his hand inside her pants, but before he could do anything, she stopped him.

"Harry, please stop. I'm not ready for this yet. I dunno when I will be so just cool it ok?" Hermione said.

"Well, you better give it up soon cause there are a lot of girls out there that want to have sex with me," Harry said.

"What did you just say?" Hermione asked him furiously.

"I said there are a lot of girls out there that want to have sex with me. And you would obviously rather have sex with Malfoy than with me anyway."

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked, pretending to be confused.

"Don't even bother lying to me Hermione. I heard what you said to him earlier, and then I seen you kiss him. And before you even accuse me of spying on you, I wasn't. I was coming up to check on you and see how you were, like a real boyfriend would, but instead I ended up seeing my girlfriend making out with another guy, and not just any other guy, my worst enemy. How could you do this to me Hermione? Was I really that bad of a boyfriend that you had to go and cheat on me behind my back?

"Want to know the truth Harry? Yeah, you were. You didn't give me any privacy at all. Everywhere I went you had to question it. You were driving me crazy! I know that if you are going out with someone you are supposed to spend lots of time with them, but you don't need to be with them 24/7!"

"Well, the truth finally comes out. And to think that I was actually going to try and act like Malfoy for you to like me more." Harry said.

"You could never be like Draco. Not even close," Hermione said.

"I'm sorry that you think I was such a shitty boyfriend. Maybe Malfoy could be a better one. Fuck you, Hermione. It's over. I'm done with you. And another thing, if Malfoy breaks your heart, like I know he will, don't come fucking crying to me about it and asking me back out. I'm not your sloppy seconds," Harry said, walking out and slamming the door behind him.

Ok, if this is really what I wanted, why do I feel so shitty about it? Hermione asked herself. You feel so shitty about it because you didn't plan for it to end like this. You are on the losing end. You didn't plan on him dumping you, another voice in her head said. Hermione decided that the best thing to do was go for a walk to clear her head. She went outside and walked around the lake before she sat underneath a tall tree and started to cry.

……………………………………………………

Harry went back to the boys' dorm and got in bed. He drew the curtains around his bed forcefully, nearly ripping them down.

"Whoa mate, what's the matter with you? I think it's best to leave the curtains attached to the bed," Ron said, noticing the scene.

"I just broke up with Hermione."

"Why?"

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"Listen, I know you probably think that talking about stuff like this is something that chicks would do, but we can talk about it too you know. What's going on? You can tell me," Ron said, walking over to Harry's bed.

"You better sit down, cause it's a long story," Harry said. As Ron sat down, Harry told him what had happened.

……………………………………………………

Draco was outside for his morning jog when he seen Hermione off in the distance. He jogged up to her.

"Hey," he said, slightly out of breath. Then he noticed that she was crying. "What's the matter?"

"Harry broke up with me," Hermione replied.

"Do you wanna talk about it? Not here of course."

"Sure you don't mind? I'll probably just talk your ear off," Hermione replied.

"Well, it'll be worth it because it's time that I will be spending with you." He smiled at her and she smiled back. He knelt down beside her and wiped her tears away. "People say that every tear tells a story and tears can tell you so much if you understand them."

"Well, what do my tears tell you?"

"That's confidential information. But maybe I can tell you over coffee?"

"Sounds good," Hermione said. Draco helped her up and took her hand as they walked to Hogsmeade and to a little coffee shop.

……………………………………………………

"I can't believe that jerk," Harry said, looking out his bedroom window. He had been staring out the window, and was just about to turn away when he noticed Draco and Hermione outside. Ron went over to the window and looked out just as Hermione and Draco walked away holding hands.

"But you broke up with her, remember? You shouldn't be so mad about it," Ron said.

"Damn it Ron! The only reason I broke up with her was because of Malfoy. I didn't want to break up with her," Harry said.

"Calm down, mate. If that was the only reason you broke up with her, you should have just talked to her about it."

"Some good that would have done," Harry said, continuing to look out the window longingly at Hermione and Draco walking hand in hand. "I should be the one that she is walking hand in hand with," Harry said, punching the wall.

"Harry, putting a hole in the wall isn't gonna solve a damn thing. Talk to her about it! Tell her that you didn't want to break up with her. It's not as hard as it sounds."

……………………………………………………

"He said what?" Draco asked Hermione as they sipped their coffees.

"He said that there were plenty of girls out there that wanted to have sex with him."

"What an arrogant jerk!" Draco said, half laughing, and half disgusted. "But if you don't mind me asking, how come you didn't sleep with him? I mean, you had sex with me and we weren't going out or anything. It's not adding up."

"I don't know why I didn't. I mean, I've wanted to go out with Harry for as long as I can remember, but when I did go out with him, he wasn't anything like I expected him to be. I guess we just weren't meant to go out."

"Are you glad that you guys broke up?" Draco asked.

"Actually, yeah, I kinda am."

"Why is that?"

"Because now I can do this without feeling bad," Hermione said, leaning over the table and kissing Draco.

A/N: Ok, I did not come up with the line "Well, you better give it up soon cause there are a lot of girls out there that want to have sex with me." It's from the show "Life As We Know It." I take no credit for it. I just thought it was very fitting so I put it in. Anyway, another chapter done. Hope you liked it. Read and review as always.
