Harry found Hermione's mouth again while Harry let out a moan. A light shone in there faces causing them to break away from one another and causing Harry to drop Hermione.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE." A voice yelled at the Hogwarts students.
"Oh shit McGonagall." Hermione thought.Harry helped Hermione to her feet and looked in to the eyes of their professor.
"It is almost one am what the hell are you too doing out this late and where the hell have you too been." Professor McGonagall said.
"Well…" Harry piped up but that's all he could say.
"Yes well…" McGonagall repeated both Harry and Hermione were lost for words.
"Well Professor… You see… Hawee and I were in Hogsmeade shopping… and we lost track of time." Hermione tried to cover up her drunkenness.
"Well Miss Granger I think that you too would have noticed what time it was when the stores closed and mid night. But that wouldn't matter you had to be in the school at Ten at the latest. But I think you too should go to bed now and sleep all the alcohol that you too have consumed and be at Dumbledore's office first thing tomorrow morning. Good night." And with those words she a walked towards the front gates of the school.
Hermione went straight to bed that night without saying another word to Harry, she didn't know if she was embarrassed or confused she hadn't figured that one out yet and whether is was a good thing or bad thing. What if Harry only decide to take her tonight was to have a good time and use her? What if he didn't really like her and wanted to get into her pants? What if… what if he turns out like Draco??? Only wanting one thing. These were all possibilities that ran through Hermione's head as she lay down to sleep that night.
The head masters door opened and Harry wasn't there, Hermione was all alone. A friendly face came to the door.
"Please come in Miss Granger." Dumbledore said. "Shut the door please."
"Sir, Harry's not here yet." Hermione said as she walked in and closed the door.
"I know… he came and seen me earlier, please take a seat." Dumbledore said pointing to the chair on the other side of the table as he sat down on his. "You were drunk last night right?"
"Yes." Hermione answered.
"And you came into the school yard intoxicated is that corrected." Dumbledore asked.
"Yes."
"Well I can't do anything…" Dumbledore said.
"What?" Hermione was confused.
"Because it's not my body that you are hurting… I can't do anything if you get drunk and go to Hillers, all I can give you is a detention and that's it but wether you understand the full consequences is another story. However you did break the school rules and you did break the law, so you can't go un punished." Dumbledore said and Hermione sighed. "You, Harry and Ron will be spending today with Hagrid." Dumbledore stated while Hermione had a big smile on her face as soon as he said Hagrid's name. "Helping him with…" Dumbledore said looking at his day planner. "Poison-pork's, half poison ivory, half pig." This statement made Hermione's smile go down.
"Sir, why is Ron having detention with us?" Hermione asked.
"Well… Ron gets really waisted, that's the word you kids use today right?" Dumbledore asked while Hermione asked.
"Yes."
"Well Ron can never seem to find his way back here so Professor McGonagall goes and get him every Saturday." Dumbledore sighed.
"Can you get rid of Hillers Sir? They have a lot of underage people there every night."
"Well no can't because Hillers is only meant for people over seventeen… they don't know that there are underage people in there. So I can't do anything. They are a legal pub for adults so I can't do a thing." Dumbledore said. "Now go and have some breakfast and report to Hagrid straight after."
"Ok… Well bye." Hermione said as she got up and walked to the door.
"Oh and Hermione… don't ever let me see you in here again for this reason." Dumbledore smiled at her.
Hermione could here the cutlery on the plates and she could smell the pancakes as she was about to turn the corner to the great hall for breakfast until she felt a familiar grip on her shoulder forcing her backwards in to a broom cupboard.
"Hey slut… I heard you got it on with Harry last night." Draco said running his hand under shirt.
"Don't." Hermione said ripping his hand away.
"Awe what have you got to be like that? Uh?" Draco whispered in her ear. "So have you thought about my proposition?" Draco said.
"Yes I have thought about it… and I say NO. Now let me out of here." Hermione pushed on his chest.
"You ain't getting away that easy… I haven't hurt you yet. Hold on give me a minute." Draco said as Hermione heard him crack his back. It was dark in the broom cupboard and Hermione didn't see it coming Draco hit her hard on the head with something causing Hermione to fall backwards and pass out.
By the time Hermione woke up Draco was gone and she felt a trace of blood slid down her face. She opened the door to see if anyone was there and dashed to the bathroom across the hall. She cleaned herself up and made her way to Hagrid's.
"Hermione I was 'ust bout goin to send a search part'e for ya." Hagrid smiled as Hermione appeared in his door way.
"Hagrid do we really have to… to… to… help you with those things?" Hermione asked grumpily.
"No I thought tha we would 'ust hav some tea… have't seen ya all for a long time… and the on'ly way to see ya is through detention… wats happen there?" Hagrid asked as she sat down next to Ron who was falling asleep, Harry hadn't said a word to Hermione since the episode last night and Hermione was getting a little worried.
"I don't know Hagrid… I don't know." Hermione said with her head down, she had looked at Harry and it felt like she wasn't in the room, he didn't even noticed she was there.
Finally the day ended and they were free to go to dinner. Ron had woken up around mid day and decide to play exploding snap with Harry while Hermione and Hagrid had little discussions over tea, most of the time Hagrid would say "J'ust like old' times aye." Hermione would have rather the Poison-pork's than having tea with Hagrid all day, that way she could have gotten off early and went to the hospital wing.
Harry, Ron and Hermione left and started walking up to the castle Ron and Harry chatting away like old times and Hermione left with her thoughts. She wanted to talk to Harry but she didn't. She didn't want to know that it was just the alcohol talking. And she didn't want to know that he was sorry for leading her on and she didn't want to know that it was a one timer thing. She wanted to know that it wasn't the alcohol talking she wanted to know he wasn't leading her on, she wanted to know that she had the permission to hug and kiss him all the time. But most of all she wanted to know one thing she didn't care about anything else… she wanted to know wether he loved her.
They made there way to the great hall but Hermione stopped Harry before he went in, Ron didn't realise, all he noticed was the food on the tables.
"Harry we need to talk." Hermione said in a low voice.
"No we don't." Harry said as he turned around but Hermione put her hand on his shoulder spinning him around once more. "Look Hermione… you were right last night it was the alcohol talking, I am sorry I was leading you on, it was a one shot thing I won't happen again… I…I don't feel for you in that way." Harry said sliding her hand off his shoulder and to her side as he walked away from Hermione.
The three things that Hermione didn't want said were said, and the one thing she wanted most wasn't said. Hermione put her hand on her heart as she watched Harry's back walk away from her. There was a bump in her thought the size of a golf ball, her heart was pounding, her stomach felt sick and her eyes filled with tears. She walked away too, she walked to the Gryffindor Common room very slowly hoping Draco was around to make her feel the pain she was feeling on the inside, but for once he wasn't there. She made it up to her room hopped into bed and cried herself to sleep.
Hermione finally made it to breakfast the next morning, Harry wasn't there and of corse Ron was. Hermione sat next to Ron he was asleep in his scramble eggs. Hermione smiled and sat down hard to wake him.
"I'm up… I'm up." Ron sprang into action.
"Hi." Hermione smiled. She thought this was rather amusing.
"Hi." Ron said in a low voice.
"What?" Hermione said in little giggle.
"What the bloody hell did you do to Harry last night?" Ron questioned.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Well after you said to him 'we need to talk' he has been funny." Ron said.
"Uh? You heard that?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione I may be stupid but I am not deaf." Ron stated.
"Ronald Weasley you are not stupid… arr just lazy." Hermione corrected him.
"So what did you do to him… he hardly ate a thing at dinner… he didn't drink with me and I think he was crying in his bed! But I decided that he had the sniffles." Ron said picking up his fork and eating the scrambled eggs he was sleeping in.
"I didn't do anything." Hermione protested.
"Mmhm… then you explain why I had to drink alone."
"Maybe because it is a school night. Ron I think you should see someone." Hermione said eating an apple.
"I am, Doreen she is off the hook. I met her on Saturday night." Ron said all excited and Hermione decide not to ruin Ron's happiness but suggesting that he'd see a councillor.
Harry is in almost all of Hermione's classes. Hermione wanted to sit next to Harry desperately but he would always move or he would be there before Hermione sitting with somebody else. Finally Hermione cornered him after there last class potions. Her was asked to stay back again by Professor Snape for answering back to him.
"Harry." Hermione said as Harry walked straight past Hermione. "Harry." Hermione said again this time he turned around.
"What?" Harry asked coldly.
"What's going on?" Hermione asked.
"What do you mean?" Harry was playing dumb and Hermione could tell… she hated that more than anything else in the world.
"You know perfectly well what I mean." Hermione stated.
"Look I told you last night… what happened between us didn't mean anything." Harry said.
"Well it meant something to me." Hermione said moving closer to him. "I am sure that it meant soothing to you." Hermione said and stopped right in front of him.
"No." Harry turned around but was only pulled back by Hermione again.
"Tell me Harry… tell me what's going on." Hermione said.
"Alright Hermione you want to know what's going on… I'll tell you. I love you… there I said it… and you know what's the worse part about it? I can't be with you that's why… I am scared of what will happen to you… I am scared on what will happen to Ron. All my friends have been hurt or someone they love has died because of me and I am not about to let that happen to you… … … … again." Harry said tears forming in his eyes. "So you need to fuck off and leave me alone alright." Harry spat as he wiped the fresh tears away and ran up the stairs. Leaving Hermione standing still processing what he just said.
