Draco sat in the room silently… Blaise walked into the room.

" Hi buddy ! How's everything going ?"

Blaise looked around. " What happened ? Oh right, I remember Pansy running out of the room a little while ago."

" Blaise my pal, what happens when you did something wrong ?" Draco sighed.

" Mend it, your mistake…" Blaise lit a smile and answered.

" What if it couldn't be mended ?"

" Change the situation into a better one… Hang on did you just ?" Blaise gasped.

" You are slow aren't you… I couldn't remember a single thing last night."

" OH MY GAWD !" Blaise looked as if he'd tear his hair out that instant.

" Keep it a secret will you ?"

" I will. But, Pansy definitely will NOT…" Blaise emphasizing on the 'not' word.

" Don't remind me …"

" Draco it still bugs me… I mean, how could you !"

The news spread as if fire on oil.

" Draco did you really ?"

" Draco, can't believe you did that !"

" Yeah… It was expected… Since it's been like long ago since you guys were a couple."

" Congrats…"

" Draco, you're the man…"

" OMG… Even though it was expected it's still shocking news."

The worst part was nobody knew that it was Hermione Draco's in loved with. Hermione was in Pansy's body when they coupled. Now it just Pansy…No matter how hard Draco tried to ignore and hide these news came burning into his ears.

" Pansy sure kept it a secret." Blaise said sarcastically in a low voice.

" Yeah …"

Draco has been looking around but saw no shadows which belonged to Hermione.

" Have you seen Hermione ?"

" No … I heard she's sick in some way …"

" Really ? I hope she haven't hear about the so called news yet … I really don't want her to know … I can't imagine her looking at me with those cold hateful eyes …" Draco looked down with guilt.

" Draco my man … I hope she won't …"

Draco has been stared by the girls. The Slytherins just giggled as they walked past. Other houses just stared at Draco when ever possible. Draco received a great lot of thumbs up and the f word signs. Draco sighed … " Life is indeed UNFAIR … "

And of course the news soon came to Harry and Ron.

" Did you hear the hot news this morning !" Neville asked excitedly.

" No… so what's it ?" Ron asked eagerly.

" Draco did IT with Pansy Parkinson…" Neville looked around to make sure there was nobody.

" WHAT !" Harry and Ron shouted.

" You heard me … Draco did…"

" We got the message !" Ron snapped.

Harry shooed Neville off and dragged Ron to a deserted corner.

" How could he do that !" Ron was yelling his head off when Harry looked around to make sure there was nobody around.

" Keep it down will you."

" I don't know how you do it Harry but this is definitely not a time to calm down !"

" Ron …"

" I mean how could he ? He's deceived Hermione !"

" Ron !"

" Yeah … I know he's rich doesn't mean he can do that. Imagine if Hermione got the news ! She'd probably be suicidal !"

" RON ! WILL YOU SHUT UP ! I'M TRYING TO TALK HERE !"

Ron's face was freaked out by Harry's sudden reaction.

" Hermione won't know it … we'll keep it a secret from her. Make sure no rumors can get her… Plus, she's not suicidal…. Calm down …. We have to act as if we don't know anything ! GET IT ?"

" Okay …"

Hermione woke up all refreshed. Ginny was still soundly asleep. Hermione got dressed in a tight sky blue spaghetti top with a pair of matching jeans. "A new day… I'm gonna put all my troubles behind me just for the day. What lies ahead is just my luck …." Hermione surely isn't very lucky that day.

The minute she stepped into the common room. Lavender came running to her.

" OH MY GAWD ! Hermione I Just heard the wildest news of all !"

" Oh ? What might that be ?"

" It's the Slytherin n that slut !"

" You don't want to hear this Hermione !" Hermione could hear these words echoing in her mind.

" Oh … What happened ?" The minute those words came out of the mouth, Hermione began to regret.

" They did IT !" Lavender was practically screaming.

" You sure ?" Hermione could hear her own voice cracking.

" Totally … Sickening isn't it ?"

" Yeah … Look I gotta go …" Hermione blinking her tears back.

She ran into her room where Ginny slept soundly and lay down in her bed. Soon, she dozed off.

Ginny was awaked by the sound of someone whimpering… She sat up and saw Hermione sleeping in her own bed, whispering in her sleep.

" Hermione must have suffered a lot …" Ginny lay Hermione on the bed and got dressed.

When Harry and Ron got back it was too late.

" Ginny, did Hermione and you hear any absurd news ?"

" I didn't but Hermione woke up earlier than me … I found her crying beside me and she even does that in her dreams."

Harry turned to Ron " She definitely heard it …"

" Heard what ? "

Ginny, Ron and Harry sat by the fireplace as the both of them told Ginny what happened.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Great job ! Keep it up. Draco will get over it. But… hide the fact from him for a while…"

" Yes Mr. Malfoy … I will do exactly as you said… But, do we really have to hide the truth from him that long ? I'm a bit anxious about it …"

" I'm afraid so … You can't rush this … You want him to marry you don't you …" Lucius turned to Pansy and smirked.

" I understand… " Pansy kept her fingers crossed just in case she couldn't bare it any longer.
