The rest of the day was no better. By the time Hermione got to the great hall for dinner the only thing she wanted to do was curl up in bed and sleep. Fat chance though she had tons of homework and patrol with Malfoy. Oh joy I get to spend more time with pms boy. She thought. She sat next to Harry and Ginny and joined there conversation about Quiddich and was about to ask Ginny something when she felt someone sit down beside her. She turned and saw Lavender smiling at her. Turning back to Harry and Ginny she was about to resume their conversation when she heard a sharp laugh and Lavender say, "Oh Won Won you know I love it when you do that."
She knew she shouldn't but she turned. Ron was nibbling Lavenders ear. Instantly Lavender caught her gaze and smirked. Feeling a tug on her arm she turned again and Harry and Ginny were getting up and motioning for her to go too. Sighing but knowing that they were right she stood up only to hear Lavender laugh again and mock whisper loud enough for the great hall to hear, "So that's why Hermione wouldn't give it up? She's a virgin? Ha, no wonder. I can't see to many people wanting to shag that." Hermione let out a small gasp and looked like she'd been slapped in the face. She looked at Ginny whose mouth was slightly ajar and Harry who looked like he was going to punch Ron. She shook her head and Ginny grabbed her hand and motioned to Harry to get her other and they walked out hearing Ron laugh with Lavender.
When they got to her shared common room she said the password and motioned towards the couch. Sitting down with her they watched as she tried to put on a brave face and finally Harry said, "Hermione its just us if you want to cry go ahead." She shook her head for a second before they saw the tell tale tremble of her lip and tears welling up in her eyes. Ginny wrapped her arms around her and Harry followed suit. They whispered comforting things to her before she couldn't take it anymore. She burst into tears and Ginny squeezed tighter. Harry looked at her and whispered, "I'm so sorry Hermione. Ron is a total git he doesn't deserve you. Trust me he's gonna catch Lavenderifilitis." Hermione and Ginny both looked at him before laughing and Hermione wiped her nose and eyes.
"She already has him. She won. Why is she being such a bitch?" Fresh tears were falling freely from her cheeks. Ginny was about to answer when they heard the portrait open. Turning they saw Malfoy walk in and say, "Because they know that Mudbloods get there feelings hurt and run to cry to weaselette and scar head." Jumping up Harry got right in Malfoy's face and said, "Back off Malfoy." Grabbing Harry and shoving him into the wall hearing Hermione and Ginny cry out, he said, "Or what? Huh potty?" Hermione closed her eyes for a second weighing her options before grabbing her wand pointing it at Malfoy and saying, "Petrificus, Totalus!" Draco fell like a rock to the floor and Harry straightened his clothing before looking at Hermione in shock.
Hermione said softly, "You guys had better go, he's not going to be happy and I don't want you to get into trouble." Nodding Ginny reached for Harry and began pulling him to the door. It was obvious Harry didn't want to go but on Hermione's insistence they left. Closing her eyes not bothering to wipe away the tears that were slowly flowing down her cheeks again she stood beside Malfoy and whispered the counter curse. Malfoy instantly got to his feet and like Hermione predicted, he was beyond pissed.
"You filthy little mud blood bitch!! How dare you do that to me?" Hermione looked at him and he was shocked to see she was crying freely in front of him. After thinking about it though he realized she must not be able to help it and just didn't care. "I….I was trying to get you to stop. I didn't want you to hurt Harry. Harry wouldn't have fought you back. He's too kind for that." Instantly she knew that was the wrong thing to say because he snapped back. "Oh that's right. Perfect little Potty. Mudbloods friend. Idolize him. Maybe he'll date you." He paused, then smacked his head in mock surprise. "Oh wait a minute even he didn't want to date you." Hermione felt new tears welling in her eyes. Then slowly she felt her anger rising and she slapped him in the face and tried again before he caught her wrist and held it with a vice like grip. She tried her other hand but he grabbed it too so she did the only logical thing she could think of. She raised her knee and made it strike where it would hurt. Instantly he let go and held himself letting out a cry of pain.
She stood above him hands on hips before yelling, "You're an asshole of the first degree you know that? One day your nice the next you're your usual bastard self and you're a complete jerk. Would you please let everyone know when your permanent pms is over you….you…..gah!" she finished completely frustrated. She looked at him a moment longer before asking softly, "What the hell did I ever do to you to make you hate me? Why do you treat me this way?" She couldn't even see straight because she was crying so hard. Not waiting for a reply she ran out of the room. But she could swear on the way out that she heard him say, "Because I have to be."
