-Next Day at Breakfast-

As Harry approached the Gryffindor table, he noticed that Hermione and Ron were managing to gaze loving at each other while eating (but just barely). It made him heartbroken, but they were his best friends, and he wasn't going to ruin it.

"Hey Hermione, hey Ron!" Harry said, hoping to divert their attention while sitting down next to Hermione.

"Hey Harry." Ron and Hermione mumbled, not paying a slightest bit of attention to him.

"Um…it doesn't look like you're eating much…" Harry said, glancing at their full plates.

"Yes, well, we've been busy." Hermione said, turning her gaze onto Harry for a split second before returning it to Ron.

"I see…Um…Say Ron, want to go to the kitchen later?" Harry asked, hoping to at least get Ron's attention. It didn't really work.

"Um…I don't know…I think I'll be busy tonight."

"Me too, and you shouldn't go anyways! S.P.E.W is against that, remember? You're a member!" Hermione cried out, turning her full attention onto Harry. Ron's disappointment was plastered on his face since Hermione rambled on about kitchens and house elves and spew.

"So I guess the mudblood is still on about this SPEW thing isn't it?" Malfoy said, suddenly appearing behind them.

"How pathetic. As you very well know Potter, my family used to have one until your foolishness freed him. Stupid head Potter. Always ruining things for me," Malfoy sniffed.

Harry's hands clenched into fists and tears were about to flow- just kidding. Harry's hands clenched into fists. Ron was about to shoot back, but Harry beat him to it.

"Shut up Malfoy! Just shut your trap about Hermione." Harry snarled.

Everyone in the room became silent. (He snarled quite loud)

"Or what? Not like you can do much Potter." Malfoy smirked.

Harry lunged, but was held back by Ron and SNAPE! (Omg!)

"And what do you think you are doing Potter?" Snape said in his evil stupid little dull tone-er, I mean in his dull tone.

"Lunging at stupid little Malfoy here because he's called Hermione here a mudblood. And I don't think that's right…sir."

"Well I think 'stupid little Malfoy' –"Hey!" Malfoy protested- does not deserve to be attacked by your insolent actions. Draco will be acted upon by his house leader... AKA me. Maybe if you got that in your little brain-"

"Severus, that's enough." Dumbledore stood up from his chair. "I will not tolerate that kind of disrespect toward students...Even though it has happened many times before…cough. Draco and Harry, will you follow me to my office?" He strode off toward the direction of his office. Malfoy and Harry nervously followed, while glaring daggers at each other, and making faces on how it was his fault.

"So…It appears there was an argument?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Yes sir." Harry and Malfoy mumbled.

"And…what was it about? I will need to hear both sides before I decide on your punishments." Malfoy spoke up but was interrupted. "Harry, you may go first."

Harry gave a smirking glance to Malfoy before beginning.

"Well, Hermione was talking about um…her…club…S.P.E.W –"More like yelling." Malfoy said- and that's when Draco came up behind us and called Hermione a mudblood and made fun of Hermione's…idea. So of course I got mad, so I guess I lunged at Malfoy to…hit him." Harry looked at the floor, ashamed. (Well, not so much as ashamed as it was that he got caught and he didn't even get to punch Draco in the nose.) But sounded so stupid when he said it out loud. Dumbledore just nodded politely, and then motioned him to continue.

"And then…Well, you know the rest," Harry said.

Dumbledore nodded at Malfoy for him to begin.

"Well, Granger was talking a bit too loud about SPEW and I didn't like it. So I suppose I wanted her to stop and I got a bit carried away –Harry snorted- and called Granger a mudblood."

"I see…is that all you have to say for yourself?" Dumbledore asked Malfoy.

Malfoy nodded. What else is needed to be said? He was right, Pissy Potter was wrong. End of story.

"Well, I have decided. Harry, you will serve detention with Severus tomorrow, and Draco, you will serve detention with…let's see…Hagrid." Harry and Draco exploded.

"THAT'S NOT FAIR! WHY DOES SNAPE-"

"WHY DO I HAVE TO GO WITH THAT BIG IDIOT-"

"SHUT IT MALFOY! HAGRID IS NOT AN IDIOT-"

"BUT-"

"That's enough!" Dumbledore said firmly, but not loudly. Malfoy and Harry became silent. "Harry, you get detention because you tried to hit Malfoy, for violence is not the answer. Draco, you get detention because you called Granger a name, a SERIOUS name. Mudblood is not a word I like to hear in my school. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir." Harry and Malfoy said together.

"Good. You two are dismissed."

-At the same time as Harry's and Malfoy's "discussion" with Dumbledore-

-Ron-

We were walking into the empty Gryffindor common room, when I noticed that I felt so alive being next to and with Hermione and so happy, besides the fact that Harry just got in loads of trouble, but at least Malfoy did too.

"Bloody 'ell, good 'ol Harry was brave." I said.

"Yes…He was." Hermione said softly.

"So…you wanna…you kn-"

"NO I DO NOT WANT TO 'YOU KNOW' RIGHT NOW! AND WE WILL NEVER UNTIL WE ARE MARRIED!" Hermione snapped.

"Ok, ok. Sorry." I don't like it when Hermione snaps. It's scary.

"I'm sorry Ron," she kissed me on the cheek (Yay!), cooling down, "I'm just worried about Harry since he got in trouble because he was protecting me."

"Oh. I understand." I hugged her tightly. "I would feel the same too." I kissed her on the lips, a peck, but she kissed back. Pure joy! We went on kissing for a few more minutes, and just when we started to get a bit more serious, people started to stream in the common room. Darn them. We sat on the sofa, hands entwined, watching Dean and Seamus having a discussion about what had just happened in the great hall.

"Did you see that?! Oh man, that was so cool! Harry, he was this close to hitting Malfoy!" Dean said excitedly while holding his index finger and his thumb a few millimeters apart.

"Yeah, it's too bad he almost did." Seamus said disappointedly, and then they both walked back to the boy's dormitories talking about what they might get for Christmas.

Then Harry came in!

"Hey Harry!" I exclaimed. "You're not dead!" Harry grinned.

"HARRY! Oh thank goodness! I felt so terrible you got in trouble for my sake! Thank you so much!" She flung herself on top of Harry, hugging him, and kissed him on the cheek. Harry blushed. What the bloody hell was that? Blushing?? I thought, but I waved it off.

"Jeez Hermione, don't kill him." I said jokingly. Hermione got off him and helped him up. They smiled at each other. Well now I'm feeling just a bit jealous.

"So what was your punishment?" Hermione said anxiously.

"Oh, I have detention with Snape tomorrow."

"Oh, bad luck mate." I said sympathetically.

"Nah, it's ok." Harry just smiled, his face glowing. He just got detention with Snape! And he's happy?! Something's definitely up with him.
