Disclaimer; NOT MINE! (cries in a corner.)
A/N; Hello! Sorry to make you wait for so long. I am bring you the next chapter. And does anyone know what the teachers are up to? Reread chapter 5 if you aren't getting my drift.
Chapter 6:
"I can't believe she walked out of class like that, and for the second time today." Ron said before biting into one of the many turkey sandwiches on his plate.
"I know. What has gotten into her?" Harry asked as he watched Ron shove sandwich after sandwich into his mouth.
"Hi guys." Hermione said sitting down across from Ron and next to Harry.
"Hi 'Mione." Harry said nervously.
"You weren't just talking about me were you?" she asked ladling some soup into a bowl.
"No." Harry and Ron both said at the same time.
"It's alright." she said. "You don't need to lie."
Both Harry and Ron let their breaths go which they didn't realized they were holding. Hermione smiled back at them and ate her soup. Ron continued to shove sandwich after sandwich into his mouth and Harry and Hermione watched, amazed that he could still eat so much.
Hermione had just left Harry and Ron as they headed for their Divinations class, she on the other hand was headed to her dorm, as she had an open period. She was quietly humming to herself as she walked down the corridor. When she turned the corner she saw him. He was talking to a sixth year girl, and obviously she was flirting with him. She decided to just walk past him, hoping that he wouldn't see her, but he did.
"Hermione!"
She continued past him.
"I'll see you later." she heard him say to the girl. "Hermione!"
She quickened her pace. But he caught up with her. "Hermione,"
"Go away." she said walking faster.
"Hermione," he said stopping in front of her.
"I said go away." She tried to go around him, but he moved in front of her. "Move."
"No." She tried again, but he moved in front of her, blocking her way.
"Move Malfoy." she said, getting irritated.
"Since when did we go back on a last name bases?" He asked.
"When you cheated on me. And we have for months you idiot." she said, this time getting around him.
"Hermione, I want to talk to you." he pleaded, stepping in front of her again.
"Leave me alone ferret." she said seething.
"No. I want to talk to you." he said again.
"Yes, I heard you the first time." she said moving to go around him.
"Then stop trying to get away." he answered blocking her again.
"I'm trying getting away from you because I don't want to talk." she said making it around him and running away.
Later at dinner, Hermione sat quietly, barely touching her food. "Hermione? Are you okay?" Harry asked noticing her quietness.
"No." she answered truthfully.
"Why? What's wrong?" Ron asked, pulling away from shoving food into his mouth.
"Malfoy stop me in the corridor after lunch." she said moving her fork around in her mashed potatoes.
"What'd he want?" Harry asked.
"He said he wanted to talk to me." she answered.
"Did you talk to him?" Ron asked.
She looked up at him. Harry kicked Ron under the table. "Ow!"
She was about to answer, when Professor Dumbledore stood. The Hall quieted. "As all of you know, Hogwarts held a school wide talent show. Many of you heard who won, but some still haven't a clue." the Headmaster smiled. "In third place, for their interesting use of food, Crabbe and Goyle." The Slytherin table erupted, everyone else clapped. "In second place, for bringing excitement, Harry Potter and Ronald Weasly." This time it was the Gryffindor table to erupted. "And, in first place, for using a song to reach someone," the hall was quiet, but of course, most of the students already knew the winner. "Miss Hermione Granger." Dumbledore finally said. The entire hall cheered. Hermione sat with a small smile as everyone congratulated her. "Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone that entered, but did not get a place." he finished and sat back down.
Hermione turned to Harry and Ron, "I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight."
"Why?" Ron asked.
"I'm tired." she merely answered.
"Okay. Goodnight." Harry and Ron said together.
He had been watching her the entire time from the other side of the Great Hall. He was watching when her friends talked to her, he was watching her when the Headmaster announced the winners, and he was watching when she got up and left. Now he we was debating if whether he should follow, or not. 'Stay. She's tired of you.' A voice in his head said to him. But he didn't listen, he got up anyway.
"Draco, mate, where you going?" Blaise asked seeing his friend stand.
"The common room." he answered.
"Oh, okay. See you." Blaize answered and went back to his food.
He followed her all the way to where he had to turn to go to his common room. "Hermione?"
She stopped and turned. He saw her look at him then continue to her destination. "Hermione?" he called going after her.
"What!" she asked still walking.
"Hermione?" he asked sadness crossing his face.
She looked at him. Seeing the sadness. But only answered, "Go away." before tears started falling and she run the rest of the way.
He stood starring at the spot she had left. "I'm sorry." he said to himself.
God! Why did I do it! Why? Malfoy thought to himself. He was laying on his bed, the curtains pulled to give him privacy. Shortly after Hermione left him on the stairs he
turned and headed to his common room. He had had enough, he needed away to get Hermione to trust him again, and he needed to tell her exactly what happened. He sat
up, thinking, There must be a way. I'll have to try talking to Potty and Weasel again. Yeah, that's it.
The next morning Malfoy got up, glad to have a small plan. He was going to ask Potter and Weasley to help him. Why he even thought of asking them for help was beyond
him. But he needed their help, and they happened to be best friends with Hermione. He walked to the Great Hall after taking a shower and getting dressed. Sitting down at his table next to Blaise, Crabbe, and Goyle. "Morning boys."
Blaise looked up, "Uh, morning Draco. We're in a good mood. Why?"
Malfoy smiled and told them what he was planning to do. " Why would you want to ask help from Scar head and the clumsy keeper?" asked Crabbe after Malfoy explained his plan.
"Because you idiot, they are best friends with Granger. And I want her back." he answered hitting Crabbe on the back of his head. "I already told you this."
Blaise sniggered as Crabbe rubbed the back of his head where Malfoy hit him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Hermione leave. Then Potter and Weasley. "Okay, they're leaving, lets go." he said and they got up.
Out in the entrance hall, Malfoy stepped in front of Harry and Ron. "Move Malfoy!" Ron said anger crossing his face.
"Calm down Weasley, I don't want trouble." Malfoy said.
"What do you want?" Harry asked glaring at him.
"Your help." he answered casually.
Ron snorted. "Our help? Harry the Slytherin Prince wants our help."
"Come off it Weasley! Yes, I want your help." Malfoy said again.
"Why?" Harry asked.
There was silence. Then he said, "Because your best friends with Hermione. And I need your help to get her back."
Ron stood with his mouth open. Finally he said, "Harry can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure Ron." Harry answered and they walked away far enough the Malfoy wouldn't be able to hear them.
"Harry, if we help him, he might hurt her again. And she couldn't take that again." Ron said with concern.
"Ron I know. But look at him, he means business." Ron turned to look at him, then turned back to Harry. "If we help him, and if there is a catch, and I know there is, then
we say no." Harry said.
"Alright, fine." Ron said giving in.
"Alight Malfoy. We'll help you." Harry said walking back to the him and his thugs.
"Great." Malfoy answered.
"But, what's the catch?" Ron asked.
"No catch." Malfoy responded.
Harry and Ron nodded and left. Malfoy stood watching them leave. He had gotten them to help her win her back. But hopefully they wouldn't tell her, well, maybe not all of
it. "Let's go." Malfoy said and they left to go to their first class of the day.
Well, so Malfoy got Harry and Ron to help him. But what are they going to have to do to help? And does anyone know the teachers are up to? Please tellme what you think! Review! Oh, and I have this problem, I've noticed how many people like to read the fics on this site, and then they don't review them, just have to say, that is a big pet peeve of mine. Anyway, please review. It would mean a lot to me, you review for a reason, to tell the author what you think about the story or anything that needs to be changed. Okay, I've been going on and on, so, please, pleeeeaaaasssse, review! Mess531y.
P.S. I know that it was a little late for Dumbledore to announce the winners of the talent show, but it's better late than never.
