A/N: Hey guys, so very sorry about the wait. You would think spring break would give me more time to write, but nooo way Jose. It gave me hardly any time! on Wednesday I received braces, and on Friday I passed out at my hair stylist's office…. And Friday and Saturday I had a volleyball tournament... yeah, you don't even care. So on with the chapter.

P.S. Sorry this chapter SUX! I couldn't think of ANYTHING!

Chapter 13: Harry and Ron find out

Draco groggily dragged his feet into the Great Hall Saturday morning, 3 days after he and Hermione had kissed. He sat down next to Blaise at the Slytherin table and started to munch on some toast when he felt some eyes on him. He looked up and saw Pansy, which was completely normal, but then he saw Hermione's eyes too. She was looking at him with a little smile on her face, apparently studying him without noticing that Draco was looking back.

Ron nudged Hermione nervously, and said, "Hermione… are you still with us?" That was the third time he had asked her and had gotten no response. He followed her gaze and saw where she was staring.

"Um… Hermione… why are you staring… at Malfoy, no less?" Ron asked, his face turning redder by the minute. (He didn't really want to make a scene.)

"Hmm?" Hermione finally turned to Ron and asked, "What did you say, Ron?"

"I BLOODY ASKED IF YOU'RE STARING AT MALFOY!" Ron bellowed, and then realized the whole hall was staring at him after his… ehm… little outburst.

"So… are you?" He mumbled.

"Would you rather have me lie and say no, so you'll chill, or would you rather have me tell the truth and have your face get as red as a tomato and your temper explode?"

Ron got very red at this and turned to Harry. "I don't think I want to spend time with the Malfoy-lover anymore, Harry. Let's go." Harry shot Hermione an apologetic look and turned and followed Ron.

"Nothing is going right today," Hermione mumbled to herself.

"You sure about that, love?" Malfoy asked her slyly. She jumped about a foot in the air and then realized she was outside the Great Hall. Her feet had apparently had some different plans than the rest of her body did.

"Well… I don't want to sound depressed, but YEAH! Ron is mad at me because I was… um, never mind. I didn't get a very good grade in Herbology, and you weren't talking to me!" Hermione snapped. "Oops, probably should have left that out."

"Oh, Hermione. I'm sorry. I just don't want people to know yet," He admitted.

"About…?" She said, raising her eyebrow.

"Jeez, Hermione, I thought you were the smartest muggle-born witch in this school!" He chuckled.

"Really? Thanks!" She said sarcastically.

"Anyway, I mean about us. I don't want you to be in danger, because as soon as Voldemort finds out about us, you and I are in very grave danger," He said, sounding concerned about her safety, even though they had been dating for only a few days.

"Aww, thanks," She kissed him on the cheek.

"Hermione! Wait until we get to our common room, then we can have as much fun as we want."

Hermione scowled.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Hermione, are you and Draco dating?" squealed Parvati.

"Umm… maybe, "Hermione admitted

"YOU ARE?" screamed Ron. He had been sitting a couple people away. Hermione and he had not spoken to each other since Saturday morning. It was now Monday. "I thought you were just staring at him! But you're DATING?"

"Keep your voice down, for heaven sakes, Ronald! I don't want people knowing!"

"I will NOT keep my voice down!" Ron screamed again. "Oh, hiya Harry."

"What's going on, Hermione? Why is Ron so mad?" Harry asked quietly. He had just entered the Great Hall and hadn't heard anything.

"Um, I told Parvati Draco and I might be dating… well, are dating, but that's not the point… and Ron overheard…"

Harry exploded, just like she thought he would, about 3 minutes later. "Well I don't blame him! How could you go out with my arch-nemesis- well, one of them, anyway- , Hermione?" He then did something she never thought him capable of. He slapped her in the face.

A/n: Yup. A cliff-hanger. No, I'm not evil, I just couldn't think of anything. :- maybe reviews will help! ;-)

Btw, thanks for all the reviews for last chapter! And sorry about the long wait!
