DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything J.K. Rowling does.

Hello everyone. I must say I was pretty disappointed with lack of reviews but I'm gonna continue on anyway. I know this chapter is really short but I was running out of ideas. Well hope you like it and please please please review.

CHAPTER 6

" Should I tell her? She has every right to know. But … but she might hate me. And I … I love her," Draco smiled at the thought.

" I wonder what Lucious would say. His only son in love with a muggleborn. The old fart would have had a heart attack. But I don't have to worry about him, he's in locked up in Azkaban. It's that ugly prick Voldemort I'm worried about."

Hermione, Harry and Ron walked into the Gryffindor common room.

It was empty apart for couple of first years.

The three of them moved to a corner.

" There's something I have to tell you," said Hermione cautiously.

I can't believe I'm doing this

" Go ahead," said Ron.

"Well I don't think you'll take it too well but here it goes. I'm going out with Draco."

" You're kidding me right. This some kind of prank," exclaimed Ron.

" It isn't Ron. I really like him. I think I may even love him."

" What the hell is wrong with you? Just … just stay away from me okay," said Ron before walking out.

Hermione slumped gloomily in her armchair.

" Hermione I'm not thrilled either but I guess I'm okay with it."

" Harry that means a lot to me. But … but why did Ron react like that? I knew he wouldn't be ecstatic and jump for joy. But didn't our friendship mean more?"

" Don't you get it Hermione? Ron has had a crush on you since… since third year. He's upset because you chose Draco over him."

" I never thought of the two of you like that. You and Ron are like brothers to me. I thought he would have got that by now."

Harry shrugged.

When Hermione got back to her common room she was still upset.

" Hey why the long face?" asked Draco.

" It's nothing."

" Oh come on. Tell me what it is?"

" It's Ron. I told Harry and Ron and well Ron didn't take it too well."

" You told them. Well give him time. He'll come around."

" I hope he does."

" Well look at it this way. You and I are like well him and Pansy."

" You're equating me with Pansy."

" Oh no … no."

" So you're equating yourself with Pansy."

" Ew. I think I'm gonna puke."

" So you're equating Ron …"

" Let's not equate Pansy with anyone. That's just real mean. Even weaselbee doesn't deserve that."

" Hey she's your ex," and Hermione added playfully, "your future bride to be."

" Hey!"
