Chapter Two
Truth
Hermione ran out into the hall, 'Phew…he almost caught me' she looked around the hall to make sure no one was listening. "Cause I still love him, and if anybody knows…I bet he/she tell Harry and it would be awkward…" she said under her breath. Just then, Malfoy appeared. Hermione groaned
"What do you want Malfoy" she snapped
"Oh…nothing…just to ask you…did you make out with Harry Potty yet? Since you SOO love him" Malfoy sneered
"What? Where in the world did you hear THAT?" Hermione said, trying to make her voice seem calm.
"Extendable Ears, from Fred and Georges joke shop" Malfoy said, as if he was a genius. "Unbelievable that their joke shop actually has something of use"
"Malfoy, if you tell Harry, or ANYBODY ELSE! I will make your life. Living. Hell." Hermione said angrily.
"Ohhh, I'm SOO scared" Malfoy said sarcastically "Like I'm gonna listen to a mudblood like you"
"Oh yeah? At least I know how to use a television you purebutt! You know nothing of the genius of muggle world, just plain witchcraft, whereabouts, I know about BOTH." Hermione sneered
"Granger, you will regret saying that" Malfoy stormed away angrily. Hermione smiled, she won. Once again! A few minutes later, her eyes turned wide. 'Oh no! How about Harry? What will he say when he finds out?"
--------
"Yeah, Hermione LOVES you" Malfoy sneered as he told Harry
"What? And why would I believe a snake like you?" Harry spat back, even though he knew it was true. He was NOT gonna make Hermione look like a fool in front of Malfoy.
"What, don't believe me? Ask her yourself, not that she would admit it" He sneered once again "I heard her say it in the hall way"
"Well, too bad, I don't believe your lies, if Hermione has something to tell me, she would already, I'm one of her best friends, and you aren't, so back off Malfoy and leave. Her. Alone." Harry said angrily
"Suit yourself" He said as he was leaving "Hermione's boyfriend" He turned around when he was around the corner so Harry couldn't outrun him
"Stupid arrogant piece of shiii-oh, hi Professor McGonagall!" Harry voice was high pitched, because Professor McGonagall surprised him.
"Hello Harry" said Professor McGonagall in a stern voice "I do hope that whatever you were gonna say wouldn't be a cuss word?" she said lowering her glasses
"Uh, yeah! I was about to say 'That's a nice piece of shimmering glass!" Harry beamed, in which he hoped it looked that way to Professor McGonagall
"Good Harry, good, now, get along, and do your homework, you would want to be ready for the ball this Friday dear"
"There's a ball?" Harry asked quickly before she left
"Yes yes, don't tell anyone else, except Mr. Weasly and Miss Granger, we were supposed to inform students that on Wednesday, so they won't get off task" Professor McGonagall said quickly "Now, run along, Harry" As Harry neared the common room, he said the password 'cream chocolate' (A/N ok ok, I made that up, lol, lame, but I didn't want to go research the password for Gryffindors common room) the portrait swung open and he stepped inside quietly, he saw Hermione doing her homework quietly, determined not to look at him, and he knew why.
"Hermione…" Harry started
"Yes…?" Hermione replied quietly
"I know how you feel about me…" Harry said "Malfoy told me…and I knew because I heard you the other night…"
"Dammit, I'm not saying stuff out loud anymore" Hermione mumbled to herself
"And…I just want you to know…I'll still be your friend, Hermione…" Harry continued
"Oh…okay…" Hermione said
"And" Harry took a deep breath "I want you to go to the ball with me this Friday" Hermione's eyes went wide
"As friends? Or as...um…the other thing…" Hermione said quietly, trying not to get her hopes up
"As…" Harry grinned "the other thing"
"YES YES! I'D LOVE TOO!" Hermione screamed and jumped to hug Harry
"Jeez woman, you're acting like I just proposed to you" Harry laughed
"Oh…heh heh, sorry…" Hermione blushed furiously, then after a minute or so, she asked "There's a dance also? I didn't know"
"Oh yeah, none of the students are supposed to know, Professor McGonagall accidentally spilled the beans to me" he grinned
"L-O-L Harry! Should we tell Ron?" She asked jumping up and down
"I think he would freak out, have you noticed Hermione? He's still not over you, you only dumped him 3 months ago, that's not enough time for Ron" Harry said seriously
"Oh…we'll just tell him about the dance, then we'll just say we'll be dancing together as friends" Hermione said quickly
"Yeah, sure, let's see how that works out" Harry said "Although…I don't think that's such a good idea…"
"Well, do you have anything else in mind Harry?" Hermione said tapping her foot
"Well, no" Harry said in defeat
"Good, then it's settled"
(A/N I'm not sure of how this will turn out. Give me a suggestion, I'm kinda confused about what to do with Ron…lol…and I'm not sure if Malfoy should actually be with Hermione, should that happen? Suggestions please!
And thanks to my FIRST review ever, in my FIRST fanfic! Tucan, lol)
