Chapter 14: WHAT?
Draco gasped.
"What are you doing here?"
Ginny stomped on Draco's foot.
"Quiet, you! Look, we need to talk." Ginny frowned at Draco, as he hopped on one foot, wincing in pain as he held his other foot.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Ginny stared at him. "I think you know very well what I'm going to talk about."
Draco stopped hopping around, and looked away. "Oh."
"Why did you break up with her?"
"Look, Ginny. Who told you about the both of us?"
"Hermione did. I know what's going on, Draco."
"You do."
"Yeah, I do. Draco, why did you break up with her? What has she done to you?"
"You don't understand, Ginny."
"Try me."
Draco spun around and faced Ginny.
"No, Ginny. I'd rather not."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Look, Draco. Just tell me, alright?"
Draco sighed. "I broke up with Hermione because-because I can't take it. I can't take it not being with her, Ginny."
"Have you thought about how she feels, Draco? Maybe she can't take it either."
"Then why is she so hesitant to spend time with me? Why is she so reluctant to go out with me all the time?"
Ginny sighed loudly. "God, Draco, don't be dumb. Look, she really loves you, and believe me on that. Ever since you broke up with her, she's been a total wreck, and she's been crying all the time. Draco, think of why she did it. And I think you would know why."
Draco was silent, and Ginny continued.
"Her friends, Draco! Her friends! She's doing this because of me, Harry and Ron! She knows that we, well, don't really like you. Well, actually, we hate you, but that's beside the point. She's in love with you, but she's scared that you guys would be found out. She doesn't want our friendship to be ruined, and she definitely doesn't want us to hurt you, Draco. She's trying her best to do whatever she can, and you have to know that. She can't do everything at one time and its best for you to be patient, don't you think?"
"I have been patient, Ginny! For a month and counting! And don't think it's not hard on me either!"
Ginny breathed deeply, and ran her hand through her hair. "And if it's hard on you, why are you so bent on not getting back together?"
"Because I don't want to break her heart again!"
"Don't you think you've broken her heart by breaking up with her?"
"Look, Ginny, I can handle this by myself, thank you very much-"
"I'm not doing this for you," Ginny snapped. "Hermione's badly hurt, and I can't stand to see her like that. You've hurt her bad, Draco. I'm just trying to help you, but if you don't want to accept it, the so be it. All I'm saying is that if you're going to hurt her anymore, you're going to have to watch out. Me, Harry, and Ron-we're not going to take it if you hurt her again, so be careful."
And with that, she spun off her heels, leaving a very shocked and confused Draco behind.
"WHAT? YOU AND DR-DRACO?" Ron shrieked as Hermione and Ginny winced, and Harry stared speechlessly at them.
"Ye-Yeah, Ron. "
Ron's jaw dropped. "So, you were attached to Dr-Draco the whole time?"
Hermione nodded slowly, as Ron sighed.
"Hermione? What was wrong with you?"
Hermione stood up immediately, throwing a pillow at Ron, her eyes flashing in anger. How could he say that?
"Stop saying that! Stop it! Stop it!" she screamed, and flung herself down onto her bed again, crying.
Ron was taken back, as Harry and Ginny glared at him. He sighed again, closing his eyes wearily. Now, he had finally found out why Hermione had been crying. But he knew that he hadn't handled the situation well. He had to do something.
Slowly, he watched as Ginny and Harry ran over to Hermione and comforted and consoled her. He had never been good at sincere apologies, but he finally discovered how he could gain revenge.
He stood there, the anger bubbling up in him, as he saw Hermione, his best friend, cry as if there was no tomorrow. He knew that she had loved Draco, and that if he had broken her heart like this, he was minced meat.
Look at her, Ron. After what she's done for you, can you still bear this?
I won't take it. She's been hurt enough, and I'm going to put a stop to this; no matter what it takes. Look out, Draco, Look out.
And with that, he ran out of the room.
HI! I am really sorry I haven't thanked my dear reviewers. You see, I have been REAL busy the whole week, as I'm having my piano and my swimming exams, and I really haven't had the time. But I'm trying, like I promised. So, pls do me a favour, and REVIEW.
Also, my thanks to the reviewers will be in the next chapter! Thank you.
