A/N: Thank you all so much for your patience, I am having an extremely hard time with my back right now. I am officially over my writers block, I have many many pages hand written, I just have to type them up. So without further ado…

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, I have asked JK for him, but she reminded me that he is a fictional character, please do not sue me.

Chapter 19 The Confrontation

"You're not upset?" Ginny asked blinking back tears?

"No, why would I be?" Hermione asked.

"Because of your history with Harry," Ginny said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Gin, come on, Harry and I being together was a mistake, besides I want the both of you to be happy," Hermione said with a big smile.

"Really, you're not upset?" Ginny asked.

"No! Now come on we have to apparate, hold on to me." Hermione said as Ginny held her.

"Where are we going?" Gin asked.

"It's a surprise," Hermione said as the girls apparated away.

About an hour and a half later Draco and Harry were sitting in the Three Broomsticks talking about what else Quidditch, when two people walked up to them.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the traitor and the boy-who-won't-die!" Zabini spat.

"Zabini, Weasley what in the hell do you want?" Harry yelled.

"Oh nothing, just a friendly visit, old friends need to catch up," He said with a smirk.

"Zabini, we were never friends to begin with," Draco said furiously.

"Weasley, did you already forget the little lesson I taught you last night?" Harry asked Ron.

"Sod off Potter," Ron growled.

"Yeah Potter, you may have permanently turned Weasley here off of Hermione but not me. Draco, she will be mine, and I think I will take her bed while you watch!" Zabini said evilly.

"Why you," Draco started but was cut off.

"Oh Blaise," Hermione called from behind.

"Hi Gr… Hermione" He stumbled on his words.

"You remember that kiss we shared?" She asked in a low tone.

"Hell yeah!" He said happily.

"You want a preview of what you will get the next time we are alone?" She asked in a low seductive voice.

Blaise was too busy staring at Hermione's chest to see her wink at Draco. Blaise simply nodded.

Hermione stepped up against him and leaned in to kiss him, instead she brought her knee up hard into his crotch, Blaise cried out and doubled over in pain.

"I suggest you give up your quest or your crotch won't be the only thing that hurts." Hermione said as she turned her attention to Ron.

"You know Ronald, I did nothing but think of you last summer, I had this little fantasy about us getting married right after graduation, and having a bunch of kids. Something changed in you. If you so much as look at me the wrong way, I will owl your mother and tell her everything. But in a way I guess I should thanks you. You helped drive me into the arms of my true love. So I do thank you, but stay out of my relationship, my friendships, and out of my life!" Hermione finished her little tirade and stormed out of the store with Ginny, Harry and Draco hot on her heels.

Draco reached Hermione and wrapped her arms around her.

"You're amazing," He said into her ear.

"I know," she said and laughed.

"Hermione that was bloody brilliant did you see Zabini's face!" Ginny said.

The quartet busted out laughing.

"Come on guys, since my beautiful girlfriend just made me the happiest man ever. Let's go to Honey Dukes, my treat!" Draco yelled.

"Awesome!" Ginny said as she grabbed Harry's hand.

Harry pulled away, "Gin," He said as he motioned toward Hermione.

"Harry, relax, she knows," Ginny said happily.

"She does?" He asked.

"Yes Harry, I know and I could not be happier now, let's go get some sweets!" Hermione announced.

The four happily made their way to Honey Dukes, unaware of the piercing eyes that followed them. As soon as they disappeared in to the store, the man apparated way.

He reappeared in a black, dark, dungeon.

"Master, I have the information you desire!" Hissed the small man.

"So quickly Wormtail, I am impressed, now tell me what I desire," The creature bellowed.

"The rumors are true, Jr. Malfoy has fallen for a Mudblood, but not just any Mudblood Harry Potter's friend, and Harry Potter him self found love. In Ginny Weasley, and it seems that Potter and Malfoy have become friends," Wormtail finished as he cowered into a corner.

"It is worse than I suspected, the plan must be put into effect immediately, I want Draco as a Death Eater this time next month, and I know just the person to make that happen," Voldemort smiled evilly.

Harry clutched his forehead and cried out.

"Harry what is it?" Hermione asked.

"He's happy," Harry said just before everything went black.

Harry woke several hours later a little disoriented but in no pain.

He slowly opened his eyes, Hermione, Malfoy and Ginny were at the foot of the bed speaking in hushed tones.

"You know," he began in a groggy voice. "It's impolite to tell secrets," he finished with a half smirk.

"Harry!" Ginny and Hermione exclaimed

"Are you okay?" Ginny asked with tears in her eyes.

"Yes," Harry said softly.

"Good, Dumbledore wanted to know the moment you woke, Draco and I will get him and let you and Ginny have a few moments alone," Hermione said as she grabbed Draco and led him out of the Hospital wing.

Once they were far enough from the Hospital, Draco spoke. "Okay Hermione spill it, I have watched the wheels in your heart turning for the past three hours, now tell me what you know," He said matter-of-factly.

Hermione sighed, and looked Draco in the eye, "Harry said Voldemort was happy, and I am pretty sure something bad is about to happen" she said with a small cry.

"Love something bad happens every year, what's new?" Was Draco's attempt at a joke.

Hermione stifled a small cry, "but we, I …Different," was all she could manage to get out.

"I'm Sorry, I don't understand," he said.

"It's different, the three of us aren't together, the only reason we got through it was because we had each other," Hermione sobbed.

Draco too Hermione in to his arms, " Shh love, it is going to be fine, besides instead of the trio, there are 4 of us, and I can assure you we can take anything old Voldie throws our way!"

Hermione couldn't help but smile at the Voldie comment.

"Okay, I guess you are right, now we better go see Dumbledore." She said
