Hermione decided that she would need to borrow Harry's Invisibility Cloak in order to corner Malfoy. She walked down the stairs from her dormitory and made her way to the boys dormitories. She knocked on the door and Harry said to come in. She walked in to see Harry talking to Ron and Neville about Quidditch. Ugh, Hermione hated Quidditch with a vengeance. It was all the boys talked about and she wondered how they couldn't get sick of it.

"Harry, I need to talk to you." They stopped talking and Neville got up and left but Ron stayed.

"Ron I meant alone." She knew he would be hurt but she wasn't ready to tell him just yet.

"What is going on between you two, you keep looking at each other and smiling at each other and now you want to speak to him alone? You're my girlfriend Hermione not his." He sounded mad and hurt just like she expected.

"Mate its not like that Hermione and I are just friends you know that."

"Do I? It seems like more than friendship to me."

"Harry as much as I don't want to I think we have to tell him." She realized that wasn't the best way she could of put it and that she probably just furthered his suspicions but he needed to know.

"Are you sure Hermione?"

"Yes I suppose." Hermione really didn't want to tell him right now but she supposed this was the best time under the circumstances.

"I think you should tell him since its your secret."

"What the bloody hell is going on here."

"Ron I'm really sorry but I can't be with you."

"You said it wasn't like that, some mate you are."

"Ronald let me finish, stop being angry with Harry because he didn't do anything. I can't be with you because I'm gay. I'm really sorry I didn't tell you earlier but I was afraid, I was afraid that you wouldn't accept me and that you would be angry with me for not telling you sooner. If you don't want to be my friend anymore I understand but that's all I can give you is friendship."

"You're gay?"

"Yes I am I have been since 5th year."

"Why didn't you tell me?" At this point Hermione was close to tears. Why couldn't Ron just let her know if he was going to disown her as a friend or not.

"I think I just explained that to you if I remember correctly."

"Sorry, right, I'm just shocked."

"So was I when she told me." This was a mistake because Harry just brought up something for Ron to be mad about.

"You told him first." Instead of sounding angry he sounded just plain hurt. Harry really needs to learn when to shut his gob.

"Yes I'm sorry but I only told him a few hours ago. Do you hate me or not?"

"No! Of course not, I'd be your friend no matter what."

"Thanks Ron that's a relief to hear." She walked up to him and pulled him into a hug. "Oh Harry I need to borrow your Invisibility Cloak because I found out that Draco found out about me being gay."

"Is that why Parkinson wanted to talk to you?"

"Yes, he's planning on making sure the whole school know at dinner."

"How did he find out? It's impossible you cast locking charms on the door." Now that Hermione thought about it she forgot to ask Parkinson how Malfoy found out.

"I forgot to ask her he probably cast a Disillusionment charm on himself and snuck in before I got the chance to lock the door or maybe he has an Invisibility Cloak." Then she remembered she wasn't supposed to tell them that Parkinson was helping, oh well at least she didn't tell them that Parkinson was going to help cast a memory charm on Malfoy.

"Harry, Ron I wasn't supposed to tell you what Parkinson said so please keep it quiet."

"I will." They said in unison.

"Ok, I have a plan but I need your Invisibility Cloak Harry." He walked over to his trunk and pulled the silvery material out and handed it to her reluctantly.

"I'll bring it back safely Harry, I promise."

"I know you will. So what's your plan?"

"I'm going to corner Malfoy after Herbology and put a memory charm on him to make him forget everything he heard."

"Good plan Hermione, I hope it works." Ron said sounding impressed.

"Me too Ron, me too."
