I hate this chapter. But i'll upload it anyway 'cos i've been on holiday and haven't had time to write anything better. I did write something in Blackpool but i'm not sure whether to upload it or not. Anyway, enjoy!
The next morning Hermione and Ginny sat at the Gryffindor table for the first time in five days.
"What are you doing here? Fall out with your boyfriends?" Ron spat (literally. He was in the middle of eating breakfast).
Hermione growled quietly, glaring at Ron, "Yes!" She hissed, "I have!"
Ron smirked, "Oh really?"
"Yes, really!" Hermione spat, turning away from him.
She wasn't lying, they had argued. It had been Ginny's idea to exaggerate it. Truthfully, they'd already made up but Ginny said it couldn't hurt to let Ron think they hadn't. It was all part of the plan, apparently but, to be honest, there was no plan. Ginny was making it up as she went along.
"What did he do?" Ron asked, slightly more sympathetically.
"Just leave it Ron. Let me eat my breakfast in peace!"
Ron looked to Ginny for help but she just shook her head, "Leave it Ron. She's upset."
Hermione had to admire Ginny, she was a brilliant actress.
They ate breakfast in silence and when it was time to go to classes Ron offered to walk Hermione to Herbology.
"That's be nice. You go ahead, I just need to talk to Ginny for a moment."
Ron sighed and began walking, glancing over his shoulder to see Hermione whispering to Ginny.
"What no?" Hermione hissed.
"Walk with Ron. He'll probably ask you what's wrong, tell you he broke up with Lavender then try to kiss you.""How do you know?"
"Because a) I heard he broke up with Lavender, so he's bound to tell you, b) I saw his expression when you said you'd fallen out with Malfoy and c) He's Ron, what else would he do?" Ginny smirked.
"See you at lunch?"
"For your make-up scene with Draco?"
Hermione nodded reluctantly, "I suppose. I'd better go, you know how impatient Ron is."
Ginny smiled as Hermione hurried over to Ron who was waiting by the door.
"So, what happened between you and Malfoy?" Ron asked as they started walking.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "We argued, we broke up." She notice Ron brighten visibly as she said those last three words, "He accused me of doing something I didn't and I didn't like that so I broke up with him."
She felt Ron's eyes on her and she hoped she wasn't blushing, as she usually did when she lied.
"So you're definitely broken up?"
She nodded and watched Ron smiled.
"'Cos I broke up with Lavender."
Wow, Ginny was right. Ron was so predictable.
"Hermione …" Ron stopped walking as they neared the greenhouses. Hermione stopped too, looking at him. He leaned forwards but she took a step back.
"I don't think so, Ron." She smiled and continued walking, noticing Draco glaring at them from the greenhouses.
