Chapter 4

"Hermione you have to be kidding me, all this time you've been here and you didn't notice him till now?" Harry asked in disbelief.

"Well it's not like I look for other people when I'm walking the halls Harry." Hermione told him as she leaned against the wall.

Harry looked around as he started to see more people walking the halls, "Come on let's talk in my room, shall we?" he asked. "Where people won't think I'm talking to myself and turning into a crazy person."

Hermione laughed and pushed herself off the wall and started walking with Harry. "You know I have a faster way." She said and stopped.

"Yeah I know; that would be nice and everything but things get really dizzy you know the room starts to spin. Not really what I'm looking forward to do so I'll walk thank you." Harry said without stopping which made her mad.

"Well fine who wants to help you out anyways." She said and walked right passed him.

"Hermione why must you take everything so personal I'm not trying to kill you." I told her.

"Ha, ha, ha, like that's even possible Harry, if you haven't guessed I'm invincible. No one can hurt me not even if they tried."

We walked until we reached the common room and then we went up to his room. I watched her walk over to the window. She looked so sad, like she would cry any minute. "Hermione listen if you say that Snape is your father maybe it would be a good idea to try and talk to him?"

"He won't be able to see me either, so what's the point?" Hermione said and looked at me. "The one thing we should do is me keeping you safe Harry, so please don't distract me."

"Hermione obviously there is something bothering you; I just don't know what it is." I started walking towards her as I said this.

"Good because it's better if you don't know." She said and moved, trying to get away from me. I grabbed her hand with my right hand and I put my left arm around her waist, her back facing me as I held her tight to me. "Harry please…" she tried to break free but I just turned to her to face me.

"What are you so scared of Hermione?" my face was an inch away from hers, my forehead resting against hers. "You can tell me, I promise I won't laugh."

"Well, well, well I think this is way out of your findings Weasley. Maybe just a bit too far from the good side of the castle if you ask me?" Draco Malfoy said with a smirk on his face.

"What do you want now Malfoy, I really don't feel like playing games with you?" Ginny said turning around to face him.

"Likewise, but you're over here in the dungeons, why?" Draco was now standing in front of her. He toward over her, he was a good 6'2 and she was 5'6.

"I left some of my things in potions class and I need to go get them." He laughed at that. "Look why do you care anyways Malfoy? Last time I checked you hate me and my family."

"Ouch Ginny that hurts, hate is a strong word you know." He said crossing his arms across his chest.

"Okay well if you don't hate me, why torment me every time you see me?" he was now smiling. "Is it some kind of sick and messed up game you just love to do? Do you not understand that other people, besides yourself of course have feelings too?"

He laughed, "Of course, it's just the pretty ones that drive me crazy." He pushed himself off the wall and was standing right in front of me now. "If you haven't noticed Ginny, I've been nice to you lately. Unlike your annoying pest of a brother, he just pisses me off always has to start a fight with everybody. But you, you seem different this year it's like you've changed or something."

"No just the same old Weasley to drive you and your family mentally insane."

"Funny, but there's something different something that I like." He brushed the back of his hand against her cheek. "I just can't seem to put my finger on it."

"What are you doing?" Ginny asked as his hand moved down her body and wrapped around her waist pulling her into his body. "If someone see's you doing this they're going to…"

"What scream murder?" he asked not letting her go. "Frigidity are we now? What are you afraid someone will see or you just want someone else?"

He was smiling now his eyes locked on mine. "No." I didn't realize that he moved his head lower to be eyelevel with me. "Draco please can we continue this conversation later, I really need to get my things."

"Why later I'm sure your things are just fine." He was just about to kiss her until she turned her head away and broke from his hold. "Spoil sport." He said and crossed his arms across his chest.

"I'll talk to you later Draco I really need to go." She started to walk away but he grabbed her hand.

"Is it really for your things or you just trying to find some other guy you like?"

"What are you talking about?"

He let go of her hand. "So there is someone else?"

"No, Draco truth be told you are the first one to take notice in me."

"I don't believe that's true." He said and smiled as I sighed. "You don't hear what all the other guys are saying so don't tell me that's true." Before I knew what was happening he closed the space between us and kissed me.

"Hermione please tell me." Harry begged and pulled her close to him as he sat down. "What's going on?" she started to cry in his arms. "Hermione?"

"I just don't know…forget about it Harry it's stupid." She put her head against his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Don't worry about it."

"If it matters to you Hermione it matters to me." Trying to calm her down was not easy, "Listen I'm sure it's nothing stupid and if it's bothering you that much you can just tell me."

"I know but..." she said and paused. "I just, I don't know if I can protect you Harry."

"Protect me from what?"

"The person who's trying to kill you." She lifted her head and look into his eyes. "Harry I haven't been honest with you." I stared at him and waited if he'd say something but he didn't. "Harry, I…um, I know or at least I think I know who the person is that's going to kill you."

"What?" he said shocked. "Who?"

"A friend of yours."

"A friend or an enemy?" he asked in disbelief.

"You won't see it now but give it time and you'll know when he's going to double cross you."

"Who is it Hermione, please tell me."

"Are you sure you want to know?" I asked not positive, he most likely won't like what I'd tell him either.

"I'm positive I want to know. I think if anything I have the right to don't you?"

"How bad?"

"I'll do anything Hermione, anything just please." He begged putting his forehead against mine.

"No matter what the cost?" I said in a whisper but you could barely hear me.

"Anything." He whispered back.

"His name is." She said and sighed. "Seamus." His eyes grew wide and he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He stared at me for what felt like forever and he finally said.

"You're lying."
