A heart break and an unexpected helping hand

"Finally!" shouted Hermione as she dashed out of the hospital wing towards the Gryffindor common room. "where you going mione?" asked Ron who was stuffing his face with food. "If you must know I'm on my way to see Harry, now if you don't mind Ron I will be going now" said Hermione as she began to walk away towards the common room as planned. "Hermione wait, there's something you should know" said Ron nervously as he walked towards her. Hermione didn't want to hear what Ron had to say so decided to run down the corridor before he could say.

WITH HARRY

"I can't believe I agreed to this Gin, but I do feel bad for mione" said harry with his arm wrapped tightly round Ginny as they sat under a tree. "Are you Having second thoughts about us Harry?" asked Ginny as she got closer to Harry to hug him. All he could do was look down at her until he hear a sweet voice which to Harry sounded like beautiful music to his hears. "Harry, are you out hear?" called Hermione. "Gin hide its mione, she doesn't know I have been with you" whispered Harry to Ginny as Hermione got closer.

After fixing his robes Harry looked behind him making sure Ginny was nowhere to be seen. "Over here gorgeous" called Harry, after hearing Harrys voice near the lake Hermione ran over towards him. " Miss me?" asked Hermione jumping up into Harrys arms. Falling to the floor Harry replied with a faint tone "I certainly did beautiful" and placed a soft kiss upon her lips. She reacted to the kiss and then stood up holding her hand out for Harry to take, "let's go a walk and catch up, shall we" suggested Hermione. As Harry and Hermione went a walk round the castle grounds Harry began to think of Ginny.

"I am sorry Hermione I really have to go we will talk later" said Harry as he let go of Hermione and ran of. "Harry where you going" shouted Hermione as she began to feel really upset and saw her tears hit the floor.

WITH GINNY

"Ginny have you seen the mudblood" shouted Draco as he saw Ginny walking down the corridor toward her common room. "why ask me Malfoy I haven't seen Hermione since she got out of hospital" she said in reply to Draco becoming angry. "well if you see her tell her she is needed in the heads dorm" said Draco as he left for the heads dorm. Watching Draco walk away making sure he was gone she got her phone out and called Harry. "hi Harry its Ginny meet me in the room of requirements in five minutes, bye love you" said Ginny through the phone to Harry unaware she was head by none other than Pansy Parkinson. "I have to tell my Dragon about this so we can laugh at the mudblood about it" muttered Pansy.

She ran down the corridor towards the Slytherin common room hoping to bump into Draco who she thought would be on his way to the heads dorm. "Drag...Draco you have to hear this it is really funny" shouted Pansy as she chased after draco jumping on his back. "what now Pansy, I am not in the mood for your gossip story" said the now frustrated Draco. "trust me this you want to hear its about the mudblood" said Pansy trying to rope Draco into listening to her. "why would I care if it is about the filthy mudblood, she is the last I'd care to hear about" shouted Draco not realizing Hermione was behind him. "oh for god sake Drag...Draco she is being played by Potter" shouted Pansy.

"WHAT!" shouted Hermione as tears flooded her Hazel brown eyes. "oh look who it is, its the pathetic mudblood girl who isn't even loved by Potter" shouted Pansy anoying Hermione even more. "what do you mean by that Pansy, Harry does love me" questioned Hermione who was felling rather irritated. "yes sure he does that's why he is in the room of requirement with the Weasley girl" taunted Pansy gripping Dracos arm. "No.. You are lying" stuttered Hermione as her tears began to flood the floor. "if I am lying, why are you crying then Granger" Pansy said with a smirk on her face as she looked up at Draco. "what?" he whispered. Pansy just shook her head at him then pointed over at the distraught mudblood. "what about her" he whispered again making sure Hermione never heard. "I feel bad now Dragon please at least invite her to our common room or in invite me into the heads one" she whispered back trying to get Draco to do one of the things she suggested.

"five I will but only because you asked and for god sakes please, STOP CALLING ME DRAGON" said Draco. Pulling himself together he walked over to Hermione and put his arm round her. "Hermione?, lets go into the heads dorm and get you cleaned up, shall we" said Draco trying his best to comfort her. "yes that would be best" said Hermione looking up into Dracos grey-blue eyes. "you coming Pans?" suggested Draco. Pansy walked towards the heads dorm following Draco and clinging to his other arm. "now go and get cleaned up Hermione, Pansy go with her and help will you" said Draco who was glad she had left the room. "god I have got to bleach this arm now" mumbled Draco looking back to make sure no one heard him.

WITH HERMIONE AND PANSY

"Why are you being nice all of a sudden" asked a curious and upset Hermione. "Well Granger I feel really bad for what happened and wanted to say sorry and maybe act like friends for a minute or two" said Pansy with a kind felt tone. "Not to be rude Parkinson but why are you being nice to me?" asked Hermione with a wired look on her face. "Look mudblood I am only doing this for my drag... I mean for Draco, he likes you for some reason and being nice to you is the only way he notices me" shouted Pansy beginning to cry. Hermione remained quiet as she walked over to Pansy. "Maybe we can work something out Parkinson" said Hermione with a cheeky grin appearing on her face. "that is very Slytherin of you Granger, what did you have in mind exactly?" asked Pansy who was beginning to question weather Hermione was really a filthy mudblood or a pureblood at heart.

"well why don't we just pretend that's we like each other in front of Draco, then when he isn't there just go back to being enemies, that way you get noticed by Draco and I can get back at Ronald for cheating on me by hanging with you and Draco and the rest of Slytherin House" said Hermione feeling confident and good about herself. Pansy just looked at her with a shock on her face, "I like the way you think Granger, its a deal". After both girls shook hands Pansy gave Hermione a make over and both walked out of Hermiones room laughing and giggling.

Draco stood up and walked towards them "I see you two are friends now, can I ask how?" Draco glanced over at Hermione hoping she would notice him. "well Hermione and I just thought we should try getting along for your sake" Pansy said smiling at Draco who was to busy looking at hermione to notice. Draco was deep in though "why can't I stop looking at her, she is a mudblood I shouldn't be looking at her" while he continued to think why he kept looking over at Hermione. Soon Pansy interupted him, "Draco we should go, Crabbe and Goyle will be looking for us" said Pansy linking his arm dragging him away from Hermione.

When Draco left with Pansy, Hermione was left thinking "why was he looking at me?" she just sat there for a while thinking until she became a little tired. She got up to walk towards her bedroom but was stopped in her tracks. "mione, I have been looking everywhere for you" shouted Harry in a cheerful yet worried tone. "Harry just leave you are a cheat and to think I trusted you" said Hermione while she continued walking to her room, as Hermione slammed her bedroom door another opened. "I believe you were told to leave Potter" said Pansy tapping her foot of the floor while her arms tightly folded against her chest. "Parkinson!, what are you doing here" said now an angry Harry. "Save it Potter, I was told to come here and wait on Draco, so if you don't mind please leave and run back to your stupid Weasley girl" shouted Pansy who was trying so hard not to crack. "Fine!, I will go" said Harry who was now furious.

WITH HARRY

Walking out of the dorm and down the hall towards the Gryffindor common room had never felt so lonely for Harry, until the silence was broken by one voice he did not want to hear. "oi Potter!" Draco shouted walking towards Harry. Harry took no notice of Draco and continued on walking towards the Gryffindor common room to find Ginny. "oi Potter I am talking to you" shouted an angry Draco. Harry kept his head down and continued walking. "I will get you for that Potter" screamed Draco before walking into the heads dorm.

As Harry finally entered the common room all he wanted to do was go up to his dorm and not be bothered by anyone. "Harry, you alright mate?" asked Ron as he saw the sadness in Harrys eyes. "Do I look alright to you" replied harry who was beginning to realize what he actually done to the girl he thought would never love him. Ron just looked at Harry for a moment until he decided to walk over. "Look mate you know you can talk to me if you need me right" said Ron as he put his arm round Harry trying to comfort him as best he can.

"Look Ron, no offense but you really are not helping" shouted Harry as he pushed Rons hand away. "Well ok then mate you know where I am when you ready to talk" said Ron in a very sympathetic tone.

IN THE HEADS COMMON ROOM

Draco and pansy were sitting on the sofa talking about Hermione. "I am glad you have become friends with her pansy and I hope you stay friends" said Draco looking into Pansys eyes. "I never thought I would say this but I hope me and mione become best friends" Pansy replied looking back into his eyes. Draco sat for a while not knowing what to say and without thinking said "Pansy do you think she likes me?" still looking in Pansys eyes. "Well I don't know about her but I do know of someone else who likes you" pansy said quickly hoping he didn't hear her.

"what are you trying to say Pansy" said Draco who was confused. "CAN'T YOU SEE I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION FOR WEEKS NOW AND ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN MIONE IS!" shouted Pansy who woken Hermione. Pansy could hear shuffling coming from Hermiones bedroom. "looks like Moines up" said Pansy lowering her voice.

"what's with all the shouting about" said Hermione coming out of her room with only her night dress on and a pair of slippers. "did you have a good sleep mione?" asked Pansy. "yes lovely sleep thanks" she replied "its about time you were up" said Draco who found himself unable to take his eyes off of Hermione. "DRACO!" shouted Hermione as she ran back into her bedroom to change
