Chapter 6:

Hermione found herself back in her common room, feeling extremely nervous for what she was about to do. She didn't want to loose Ron's friendship but she also very much wanted to be with Scorpius. The moment she walked into the room she saw Harry and Ron sitting playing wizard chess at the small tables near the windows.

Slowly she walked over and flinched back when Ron smiled up at her before going back to his game.

"Ron can we talk for a moment."

"In a minute Mione, I'm in the middle of a game." He said putting her off.

"Ron, now. You will win you always win against Harry. No offense Harry." Said boy just smiled up at her.

"Fine." Ron grumbled as he stood up.

"Alone, up in the Room of Requirement please." Ron nodded and followed her up to the room, not saying a word. When they got into the room Ron must of thought they were there for something else, because he grabbed Hermione and started kissing her. She pushed him off as fast and hard as she could and tried not to cry when she saw the hurt and confused look Ron was giving her.

"What is the matter Mione. I thought that was why you wanted to be alone.' He said staring at her crying.

"Ron no I wanted to talk. I can't do this with you any longer Ron."

"What are you talking about?" He asked his face getting redder.

"I think we should just remain as friends. This isn't working out as a couple." Ron grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.

"I love you Mione, you can't leave me." Hermione ripped her arm away from him.

"Ron please. I don't love you. I don't want our friendship to suffer with me staying with you when I don't love you. I'll talk to you later." With that Hermione left Ron standing n the middle of the room and quickly went to find Scorpius.

Scorpius was sitting on the bottom of the stairs in the entrance hall thinking about Hermione. He loved he with everything in him and he just wanted to make her happy. He knew she was not happy in her marriage in the future and he also knew she was not happy with Ron now. So why did she end up getting married to him in the first place. As he was lost in thoughts Hermione came up and sat next to him. He jumped up when he realized she was there and scowled at her when she laughed.

"Hey love." He quickly kissed her on the lips not expecting her to return it. He was happily surprised when she pulled him back in and passionately kissed him, with people walking by. As they pulled away she smiled at him and all he could do was smile back.

"Does that mean that you broke up with Ron."

"Yes and you don't have to be so happy about me breaking my friends heart." She said smiling.

"But that means you can be mine. I can let people know we are together."

"Yes."

"Thank the gods." He said as he stood up bringing her with him and kissed her. He didn't care about the people walking by or the whispering going on. All he wanted was to have her in his arms forever.

"You have got to be kidding me, really cousin of mine. You are dating the mud-blood." Scorpius turned around staring at his father with anger. He couldn't believe that was his father standing there. The one that basically was forcing him to marry Rose in the future.

"Yes I am dating Hermione. There is nothing you can say or do, Cousin, that will change that.'

"I just can't believe someone from my family would be dating someone like her."

"What someone intelligent, brave, beautiful. She would make a better Malfoy than anyone you have dated." Scorpius spat out. Draco just stood there looking at the two of them.

Draco just grumbled and walked away, Hermione started laughing as Scorpius turned to her.

"What is so funny?" He asked

"I never thought I would see the day that Draco Malfoy was speechless." she continued to laugh. Scorpius grabbed her hand and made their way to the Great Hall for dinner and pulled her to his table to sit.

"I don't think I should sit there." she said trying to pull away.

"Why? Who cares what they say. We are together and they will get over themselves." He smiled at her as he continued to guide her to his table. They sat across from Draco, Pansy and Blaise, and Hermione felt rather uncomfortable. That was until pansy started talking.

"Wow never thought I would see the day that one of The trio would be sitting here." She laughed.

"I know what you mean Pansy." Pansy looked at her dumbstruck when she used her first name.

"So Congrats there Scorpius for snagging that one." Blaise stated

"What do you mean Blaise."

"I mean she was just dating Ron, one of the other part of the trio and now you have her."

"It was her choice to be with me, I didn't force her. I don't give a damn how you all feel about it either." Scorpius said as he placed a hand on her lap and used his other to get food.

"Leave my cousin alone you two. He can date who ever he wants. As long as she doesn't go and hurt him. If that happens then she will regret it." Hermione's mouth fell open and she just started in shock at Draco as he smiled back at her.

When dinner was over the five of them stood out in the entrance hall talking.

"Why the change of heart Malfoy?" Hermione asked.

"My dear cousin made a valid point.. Hermione. You are worthy of being a Malfoy. The war is long over o let's move on. But do not expect me to be nice to pothead and weaslbe" Draco said as he started to walk away.

"What the hell is this Mione." Hermione froze as she heard Ron's voice behind her and Scorpius wrapped an arm protectively around her. She slowly turned around to face a very angry Ron and an upset Harry looking at her.

"Is this why you broke up with me? You wanted to be with that snake?"

"Watch it Red." Draco snapped.

"How could you do this to me Mione, I love you."

"I'm sorry Ron but I don't love you. Please just let me be happy." Harry grabbed Ron's shoulder and tried pulling him away.

"Let's go Ron before you do something you will regret." Ron looked at his friend and nodded his head, then turned back to Hermione.

"Just remember when it doesn't work out with him, I am here for you. I will always love you Mione." With that Ron and Harry walked the other way leaving Hermione to cry on Scorpius' shoulder.

The next month flew by for the two of them. They spend every minute together, unless they had separate classes and after curfew. Scorpius was in heaven here with this Hermione. He never wanted to leave, but knew he would have to eventually. There was no way he would be able to stay in this time and knew that Hermione was already in love with him. He knew the days were getting shorter to be here, the time turner on his neck was growing increasingly hot. That only meant it would activate and send him back soon.

He wanted to spend as much time with his love as possible and planned an evening alone together in the Room of Requirement. That is where he stood awaiting for her to arrive, when the door opened and it was Draco standing there instead of her.

"What do you want Draco."

"I just wanted to make sure that you don't need anything else."

"No I'm fine, thank you for helping me with all this by the way." Draco smiled and left him alone. Hermione and Draco had become close friends since they started dating. He was grateful for that, he wanted his father and her to get along. He was nervously playing with his hands when the door opened again and Hermione was standing there smiling at him.

He walked over to her and pulled her in for a very long and heated kiss, loving the feel of her pressed so firmly against him. He couldn't wait to get this night rolling.
