"Just go down there!" Ginny insisted, "Please!"
Hermione ignored her, only pulling the pillow tighter over her head.
"Hermione if you don't go down there I'll bring him up here!"
The pillow moved slightly, "You can't. There's a charm on the stairs, remember!" She threw the pillow off again and sat up to glare at her 'friend'.
Ginny chuckled slightly, "Oh come on, Hermione! You know for a fact, I've been smuggling Harry up here for the past … what? Two years?" She paused, "Don't tell Ron I said that."
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Ginny, you haven't spoken to Harry since this whole thing started. And you want to know why?" She smirked, "Because you fancy Blai-"
Ginny clamped a hand over her mouth, "Need I remind you that Malfoy is listening from downstairs! Speaking of which …" She pulled Hermione up off of the bed and started pushing her towards the door, "You are going to go down there and you are going to talk to him."
Hermione shook her head, clinging onto the doorframe in an attempt to get out of this. Unfortunately, Hermione had never played Quiddich so, unlike Ginny, she wasn't strong enough. Ginny pushed her out the door and closed it behind her. A moment later Hermione heard Ginny place a locking charm on it. She didn't hear what Ginny did next but she was pretty sure she knew as the stairs gave way and she slid down to the bottom.
She stood up, cursing.
"You okay?"
She gave a shriek of surprise, having forgotten that Draco was down there, and blushed, "I'm fine."
He raised an eyebrow, "Sure?"
"Yes I'm sure!" Hermione snapped, crossing her arms.
"Do you … wanna talk?"
"No!"
He smirked slightly, "Okay."
And before she knew what was happening he had pulled her towards him.
"What -" She was cut off by his lips on hers.
…
"Ron." Harry said again, "Calm down! I'm sure Hermione's fine!"
Ron shook his head, "She was supposed to be in the Hospital Wing. She told Professor Flitwick that was where she was going. Hermione doesn't lie!"
Harry sighed, "Maybe Madam Pomfrey sent her back to her dorm."
"Or maybe she's meeting him!" Ron spat.
"Or maybe she's back in her dorm." Harry repeated, grabbing Ron's wrist and pulling him up the stairs towards their common room. As they reached the painting Harry said the password and shoved Ron inside.
It was only when he heard Rom yell that he realised he probably should have check to see who was in there first.
"What is he doing here?" Ron yelled. Harry slowly stepped into the common room, almost afraid of what he might see. He was just in time to see Hermione pulling away from Malfoy (after snogging his for what appeared to be at least fifteen minutes, uninterrupted), sighing.
"What do you want, Ron?" She asked, without taking her eyes off of Draco who was looking rather annoyed.
"How did he get in?" Harry asked for his friend, who was struggling to put even a simple sentence together.
"Ginny let him in." Hermione replied, finally turning away from Draco, "Oh for goodness sake, Ron!"
Ron looked ready to kill Draco but at the sound of his name he snapped out of it and turned to glare at Hermione, "I thought you'd broken up!"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Why can't you just be happy for me?"
"Because it's Malfoy!"
Harry sighed and sat down, knowing they'd be arguing for a while.
"I don't care if it's Malfoy. I'm dating him!"
Harry glanced at Draco and gave a small nod. He received a smile, or as close to a smile he was going to get from Draco Malfoy, back.
"Oh yeah? Well … I'm dating …"
He glanced around.
"Dating who, Ron?"
"Dating … dating ... Harry!"
…
Hogsmeade, Two weeks later
"You have to feel sorry for him." Hermione said as she and Draco watched another of Harry and Ron's arguments.
"Who, Weasley?"
"No. Harry. The poor thing has to pretend he's dating Ron." Hermione laughed, looking around for Ginny and Blaise. She let out a small scream when she saw them, causing Draco to look up, alarmed.
"What is it?"
Hermione said nothing but pointed over to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop where they could clearly see Blaise Zabini through the window, snogging a small red-head at one of the tables. Draco made a disgusted face but Hermione gave another shriek of delight and hugged him.
"Everything worked out in the end." She said.
Draco snorted, "Except for those two." Draco said, gesturing to the Harry and Ron, whose argument was about to turn into a fight.
"Oh shut up." Hermione told him, pulling him into another kiss.
OMG I finally finished a story! I don't really like the end though. Oh well. I've uploaded the first chapter of my new story: Albus S Potter and The Third Wizarding War. I hope some of you will take the time to read it. :)
Oh and i may do a sequel or side-story (or whatever you want to call it) about what happened with Ginny and Blaise during all this 'cos i know i didn't go into much detail about them. Let me know if you think that's a good idea. :)
