Harry pulled away from her hand got up moved closer to her and embraced her in a hug.
"I've missed you too." He whispered in her ear.
"His back." Hermione thought with delight. They broke away from one another, Hermione stared into Harry's eyes for a moment and saw the gentle child that she once met five years ago and then in one blink it was gone and Hermione's heart sunk.
"Hermione I have to go, I… promised Ron I'd help him with his homework." Harry moved backwards.
"Harry that's ridiculous I help Ron on Saturday nights, why would you help him on a Friday night when he doesn't have the answers for you to copy?" Hermione proclaimed.
"That is a really good point so I better go and ask Ron why I am helping him." Harry said walking very fast out of the door.
"Harry." Hermione yelled after him but he didn't come back. She lied back down and got under the covers only to hear the door open again. "Harry?" Hermione said.
"Hell No, if I were that twit I'd have to personally kill myself." Malfoy's cold voice entered Hermione's ears giving her goose bumps all over. "I thought he'd never leave." Malfoy continued and kissed Hermione on the fore head.
"Get off me." Hermione snapped and sat up.
"Oh why do you be like that I am only being friendly?" Malfoy sneered. "So how long are you in here?"
"Till tomorrow, I'll be sore for a couple of days thanks to you." Hermione said with bitterness to her voice.
"Oh is that all, next time if you disobey me I'll put you in here for a week. And remember if you tell a soul your dead." Draco whispered in Hermione's ears giving her one more kiss on the head and leaving.
Hermione didn't sleep the whole night and after convincing Madam Pomphery that she wasn't beat up and told her that she is a cluts she was allowed to go. Hermione finally made it to breakfast after she was bathed and dressed in her weekend clothes. She sat next to Ron who had a mouth full of bacon and eggs when he said hello and sat across the table to Harry who picked up the Daily Prophet the moment she sat down. She served herself bacon and eggs surprising it looked good after seeing Ron eat it.
"How are you feeling this morning after your big night?" Hermione said to Harry.
"Bloody awful." Ron answered. "Fred and George were right, eating greasy foods do help a hang over."
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Yea I know it's bad, it's true I haven't stopped partying yet I am having too much fun." Ron continued.
"Ron was Harry with you last night?" Hermione sweet voice entered Ron's ears, this just told him to run.
"Yes I was with Ron last night ok." Harry said over the Daily Prophet.
"Harry why? You were the one helping Ron getting over his partying ways." Hermione whispered to Harry leading over the table while Ron was falling asleep in his chair.
"I gave up." Harry claimed.
"Some friend Harry." Hermione growled looking at Ron who was falling off his seat now. "Your forgetting something Harry, not only were my parents killed so was Mr Weasley, Ron is hurting and the only reason why he is drinking…" Hermione stopped. "Harry where are you going?" Hermione asked as Harry got up.
"Dumbledore's office." Harry said. "I got caught last night for drinking, do you remember?" Harry said coldly as if that was meant to mean something to Hermione. He left in a hurry leaving Hermione with a sleeping Ron.
Five minutes past until Hermione was greeted with a familiar face.
"Ginny how are you." Hermione asked with delight.
"Not to bad." Ginny said in a low voice. Ever since Mr Weasley's passing Ginny had changed a lot, just as much as Ron. Although Ginny and Ron were the only Weasley children living at home Mrs Weasley was un able to pay her house bills and they had to move out. They couldn't find anything cheap enough to rent in the wizarding world so Mrs Weasley had to file for a small apartment in the Muggle world and she now works as a check-out-chick at k-mart.
Harry offered Mrs Weasley his house after everything she had done for him but she said 'dear Harry, my boy I couldn't take the one thing that you have in life away from you.' And when Mrs Weasley's mind is set there's know point trying to change it. Harry made sure that Mrs Weasley new that she and all her children were welcome there anytime.
"That's good." Hermione answered, a moments silence went past.
"Well I got to go." Ginny said walking away. "Bye." She waved.
"Bye." Hermione repeated.
Hermione was quite worry about Ginny's state of mind, she was worried she had started harming herself after her fathers death. Ginny would always where long white shirts under her school uniform covering her arms and on weekends (like today) she would always where long shirts or in this case today she was wearing big black arm skivvies since she was wearing a black sleeveless shirt. Everyone is in pain Hermione was trying her hardest to help them but it was hard, they don't talk to her, well Ron does in the morning's when he is recovering from a heavy night and on Saturday nights when she 'helps' Ron do his weekly homework. Harry on the other hand doesn't speak to her that often it's only on rare occasions that he speaks to her; like last night. And her and Ginny were best friends they told each other everything, now is only just a hi, how are you? And bye. The only time Ron speaks to his sister is in the holidays; Hermione guessed. and the only time Harry and Ron speak to one another is probably when they get drunk together, on the field and when Harry is copying Ron's homework, the homework he copy's from Hermione. "Everything is so screwed up." Hermione thought as she pushed her food away and left Ron asleep in the floor.
Hermione walked though the corridors fast, her arms were folded her head was down and her heart was beating hard. She was scared, she was scared of a certain someone. She turned a corner and because her head was down she bumped into a familiar person.
"AHHH." Hermione screeched.
"You 'right?" Neville asked.
"Yea I am sorry Neville you just spooked me." Hermione laughed.
"I ain't that scary am I?" Neville joked.
"No your not, hey listen I have been meaning to talk to you, how are you doing?" Hermione said with sympathy in her voice.
"I'm alright, I'm doing fine it was Gran's time to go. I get to go and stay with my Aunt… she's nice… but a little nutty you can tell she is my Gran's daughter." Neville joked and Hermione laughed. "I do miss her on days… but she always prepared me for the day… well you know. She said that she always wanted to dye with dignity. She would away say 'the only way I am going to die is in a fight with the dark lord and give him hell for my babies' and she did if it wasn't for her we wouldn't be here." Neville said scoffing back some tears.
"I know." Hermione said patting him on the back.
"Anyway enough about me, how about you?" Neville asked.
"Suprisly I am good, I got to say good bye and I was so proud of my parents for finding us."
"Yea that was amazing Hermione, and the way your Dad jumped on his back, its like he wasn't scared at all." Neville commented.
"Yea I love my Dad, he was always brave. You know why he jumped him though right?"
"Cause he didn't like the look of him." Neville joked. "Sorry." Neville corrected his joke.
"No, he jumped on him because I was next… the Dark Lord was pointing his wand at me. My Dad saved my life and sacrificed his own and you know what his last words to me he said 'fight Hermione' and then he was gone… then her went after my Mum." Hermione said.
"I am sorry Hermione I didn't realise you saw." Neville said.
"Well I did and at that moment I never felt so lost in my life and I felt that I had no point going on, and if it wasn't for my Dad saying those words I don't think that I would be here today." Hermione said. "Your Gran died for you, Mr Weasley died for his children, Mr and Mrs Potter died for Harry and my parents died for me. I never new how loved I was un till they were gone." Hermione tear a tear roll down her face.
"Hey come here." Neville said hugging her and patting her on the back.
"And because of that man that evil man so many people's lives are so screwed up its not far." Hermione said braking away from Neville.
"Your talking about Harry Ron and Ginny right?" Neville said.
"YES." Hermione yelled.
"Okay no need to yell." Neville said.
"Sorry. Anyway I need to…" Hermione stopped and saw a familiar face that she had regretted seeing. Malfoy walked passed and winked at Hermione giving her chills down her spine. He then spread his index and rude finger over his mouth and stuck his tongue out creating a vulgar insult. "I need to go to the Gryffindor common room to do my homework do you want to come?" Hermione asked hoping the answer would be yes.
"No I can't I am off to Hogsmeade I am craving sugar, I just came back from visiting my aunt… it was her fourth wedding… Gran use to say that women was a hooker with all the males that she has. Any way she has had me on a diet, I swear will go crazy if I don't have sweets." Neville said walking in the opposite direction Hermione was going in.
"I have sweets up stairs." Hermione quickly said.
"No its ok, I am meeting up with some friends later anyway." Neville said.
"Oh ok." Hermione said looking down at the floor.
"Anyway I'll see you later ok?" Neville said.
"Yea ok." Hermione answered and within a flash Neville was gone.
Hermione's heart sunk and started pounding again. She walked faster and faster until she was pulled into an empty classroom.
"Hi Herm." Draco whispered in her ears strangling her from behind and let her got.
"What do you want?" Hermione said.
"I think you know what I want." Draco said gracing his hand over her face only to have Hermione pull away.
"Well your not gonna get it." Hermione protested.
"Well, as long as I don't get what I want you are going to suffer." Draco sneered.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked.
"Well you do it with me and I leave you alone for good." Draco said.
"What?" Hermione asked again.
"You have sex with me and you get your life back." Draco proclaimed.
"No." Hermione said.
"No? I think that's a pretty good deal… don't you think?
Hermione thought for a moment.
