I forgot to say! Thank you for all the lovely, lovely reviews! Also I am sorry. I go to boarding school, and I do this stuff on the school wifi and I am going home so don't expect another update for 2 weeks. So so so so sorry. It kills me too!
Harry heard everything, and I made his blood boil. He heard the "I love you's", and the "don't cries" and worst of all, he heard Hermione break down in sobs, and just like that, her forgot how mad he was. It all melted away when he head Hermione cry, when he heard Hermione need him.
He opened the door and bent down, taking her up in his arms. She curled up in his arms, and sobbed into his shoulder. Harry held her tight and stroked her hair.
"It's alright 'Mione. You'll be alright" he whispered.
"No!" Hermione sobbed "No I won't. He always has to leave me. Why does he always go?"
Harrys shoulder was wet with her tears, and he was extremely uncomfortable with this emotional Hermione. He was mad at her, and she was making it extremely difficult to demand answers whilst in this state.
"Why was he here in the first place" he asked.
Hermione went silent. She sat up and looked at him, her eyes rimmed red and glistening with tears.
"You have a right to know I guess" she said. Harry nodded. "Well, where do I begin?"
"The beginning" Harry said harshly.
"Alright" Hermione said, her voice shaking, "Alright, well here goes. In fourth year-"
"Fourth year!" Harry interrupted, "This has been going on for 3 years and you didn't tell us?"
Hermione closed her eyes, "I know. I'm sorry, but please just understand." Then she kept talking. She told him everything. She told him about the yule ball. The week after in the library, and everything after that, including the origin of the locket around her neck. The whole time, her eyes were closed, so she couldn't see the expressions on Harry's face.
When she was finished she opened her eyes and looked at Harry. In a word, he was horrified. His jaw was tight, and he looked almost… scared. There was a long silence.
After a while Harry spoke. "How did Ron and I never find out?"
Hermione closed her eyes again. She had been afraid he would ask that, but of course he deserved the truth.
"You did" Hermione whispered.
Platform nine and three quarters was bustling with life. Millions of animal sounds could be heard, as well as tears of frightened first years. Smoke billowed out of the scarlet Hogwarts Express, making the whole platform look kind of hazy and dreamlike.
Hermione made her way around the sea of people, trunk in tow. Her parents were left back in the muggle station on her insistence.
She searched the platform for him, for his blonde hair, for his tall muscular frame. She left her trunk against one of the walls and kept looking around. Maybe he wasn't here yet.
Just as she the thought entered her mind; a pair of strong hands grabbed her and pulled her into a space between the walls, back against the wall. She was about to scream when a hand covered her mouth. Hermione found herself face to face with Draco Malfoy. Her body immediately relaxed and he took his hand off her mouth, grinning. She smiled and put her arms around his neck.
"I was looking for you" Hermione breathed.
Draco leaned against her forehead, "I know" he whispered.
Hermione smiled, "I missed you over the holidays" she said.
He stroked her face, "Not as much as I missed you" he breathed.
She grinned, "Come here" she whispered, and pulled him down onto her lips. One hand rested on his soft hair and the other tugged at his coat, holding him to her. His hands were behind on the brick wall, pinning her there. Their lips moved in perfect sync, feeding a fire in their hearts. They knew their kisses were limited, as the days of Draco's mission (Hermione knew, Draco had sent her an owl) were approaching. Draco's tongue slipped between her lips, and Hermione responded-
"For merlins sake Malfoy, keep it in your pants" said an all too familiar voice. They broke apart and froze, "who do you reckon the slut is this time Harry?" Ron smirked.
Harry frowned, "What? Does Ron know? And why is he talking to me? I wasn'tthere?" he looked at Hermione quizzically.
She closed her eyes painfully, "Just listen.
"Yeah, which one of those desperate whores are you dry humping now?" Harry laughed.
Draco stiffened and hissed. Hermione shook her head, "No Draco, leave it" she whispered.
But it was too late, he had already pulled himself away from her and grabbed Ron by the collar, pushing him against the opposite wall. Thankfully Harry turned away from Hermione and glared at Draco. She glanced around desperately for an escape, but found none.
"Ohhh, touched a soft spot have I Malfoy?" Ron grinned, seemingly delighted at angering Draco.
Draco gritted his teeth and pulled Wealsey hard by the collar, "Don't call her that!" he hissed.
"Oh, so this is more than your Tuesday girl" Ron said sounding delighted, "Are you in love Malfoy?"
"As a matter of fact I am Weasley, and I have a small feeling that you are in love with her too" Draco smirked.
"Why would I love the second hand slut of yours?" Ron asked.
Draco pushed his arms down on Ron's throat, "I said don't call her that"
"Leave him alone Malfoy!" Harry said angrily, pressing his wand against the back of Draco's neck.
Draco dropped Ron in a heap. "Who is the Slytherin… girl… causing all the trouble?"
Hermione gasped quietly, and glanced around desperately, trying to find an escape. Feeling like a trapped rabbit, she watched helplessly as Ron and Harry's eyes fell to her.
The smug smile fell from Ron's face, and Harry's eyes widened. "Hermione!" they both hissed, bewildered.
"Wha-?"
"How?"
Then without warning, both of them turned on Draco, pointing their wands directly at his chests. Hermione's heart jumped.
"You are disgusting" spat Harry.
Draco raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?" he asked in a bored tone.
"You raped her!" Harry spat.
Draco's bored façade dropped, "I would never hurt her" he said menacingly, "Never even suggest that" he took a step toward them.
"Stupefy" Harry cried.
Draco went flying backwards and hit the wall with a sickening 'swack'. Before she could stop herself, Hermione screamed. Harry and Ron ran to her.
"It's alright 'Mione, he can't hurt you, you won't see him again soon" Ron said stroking her hair. Hermione looked at both of them, her eyes swimming. She heard Draco groan, and she pulled away from both of them, and ran to his side.
She held his lolling head in his hands. "Draco? Draco? It's me, Minne, please wake up, please" she said, panicky. He just groaned again. Hermione pulled at her wand, "renervate" she whispered.
His silver eyes flew open, and Hermione collapsed on his chest in relief. He stroked her hair absent minded, staring into space.
"Hermione?" She had forgotten about the others standing there. She pulled herself away from Draco, and swallowed.
"Yo-you, and-and… him" Ron pointed, stunned, at Draco.
She looked at him helplessly "Yes"
"You- you actually were- were… hooking up with him" Harry whispered.
"And It's not the first time either Potter" said Draco, pissed off about being stunned.
Ron, Hermione and Harry were in a stunned silent, but Draco looked smug. After what seemed like an age, Ron whispered, "You are disgusting" and both turned away.
Hermione scampered after them, "No! Please! Please understand! If I could tell you I would have! Please stop!" she pulled on Ron's arm.
They turned, giving her looks of poison. "What" Harry spat in a voice of pure malice. Hermione flinched at the harshness in his tone.
"You have to understand, please, if I could have told you I would have!" Hermione said, her eyes tearing up.
"You would not have! You were too afraid to tell us! If really wanted to you would have, but you knew that if we found out, we would hate you" Ron hissed, "And you were right."
"No! please, don't please, he's not who you think he is!"
"Choose" Harry demanded "Choose. Him or us"
She looked at them helplessly, "I love him" she whispered.
Ron and Harry looked disgusted, and then turned away.
"No! Please," she began to cry, to sob. They kept walking. Draco stood, and put his hands on her shoulders.
"'Mione, go with them, you don't need me" he said soothingly.
"No" she whispered. She felt so lost, her best friends were walking away from her, never to talk to her again. She was helpless, if only she could undo it…
In an instant, she pulled out her wand. There was no other way. If she wanted to keep what she had, wanted to keep her lover and her best friends, that is what she had to do.
"Obliviate" she whispered.
Du du daaaaaaaaaaa! What will Harry say to this? So sorry about the wait! Please forgive me and please please please please please review! Oh and sorry if it was shit! Peace out ma homies.
P.s. there will be, most likely, two sequals and a possible prequal.
