Harry couldn't sleep. It'd been a long eventful day and he wasn't sure what to do about anything that had happened. He knew he had to do something before his life got too out of hand. He just wasn't sure what. Finally, about an hour or so later he finally slipped away; letting a dreamless sleep take him.
"Good morning Harry. How'd you sleep?" Hermione asked him.
"Okay I guess Hermione, how did you sleep?" Harry asked her.
"I slept great, well I guess just okay. I'm not going to lie to you Harry I was worried about you." She told him. "You were a wreck the last time I saw you, and it worried me."
"Yeah, it worried me too. I've just got a lot going on right now and I'm not sure how to handle it." Harry told her sadly.
"I get what you mean. We better hurry to the Great Hall or we'll miss breakfast." Hermione said.
"Hermione, Draco sat in your seat yesterday. Minerva told him he could so.." Harry began when Hermione cut him off.
"Look there he is, we need to hurry so we can get our seats then." Hermione said as she pushed Harry towards the Great Hall and right past Draco.
As they settled into there seats Draco walked in and took one look at them before going to take a seat by Neville.
"Wow, that was fun." Hermione said to Harry. "I think I'm going to eat fast and then go for a walk. After Ron left me I started to take long walks because they helped get the stress out of me."
"If you don't mind then I'd like to go with you. I need to walk some stress out, or fly it out, or punch it out, on Malfoy…" But before Harry could continue Hermione cut him off by saying: "Harry I get the point. Yes, you can come for a walk with me."
As they finished eating Minerva walked over to them. "Harry, Hermione, I need to talk to you about Draco." She said as the pair gave each other a look. "I want him to feel like he's a big part in teaching here and I want you to talk to him and be his friends. You need to put aside whatever has happened in the past and act like professionals."
"I can put aside the past professor because Draco earned my trust and loyalty then." Harry told her. "But I can't get over what he's done to me now, and I'm sorry to say this to you because I care about you Minerva, but I don't give a shit about Draco now, and I will not be nice to him."
"Harry, please you must or he may turn out like his father or Severus that is my worst fear. I want so much more than for him then to be a double agent and end up dead for it." Minerva said.
"Maybe Hermione and Neville can do the job then. I can't; you don't know what is going on in my life and I can't let just let the man who is destroying it into it." Harry snapped at her and stormed out of the Great Hall.
"Minerva, Harry may not want me to tell you this but I think I need too." Hermione started. "Ginny cheated on him with Draco and has been for a few months now. And to make it worse James knew and Ginny begged him not to tell anybody including Harry. Do you understand how angry Harry his; I would be angry if I just found out about my husband cheating on me."
"I understand that, but can't he just try to put it aside for the school year and not worry the students with this hatred. They are both the head of their houses, and I need them to treat students with justice and equality not anger and hatred." Minerva said sadly.
"It's not that simple Minerva. Ginny is pregnant and neither Draco nor Harry know if its there baby. Think about it they're both angry the only difference between them is that one has more to lose then the other." Hermione told her.
"Oh my, I didn't expect any of this." She said sadly.
"I know you didn't Minerva. But for these two men they're in love with the same person and don't know what to do about it. I'd better go. Harry is going to be needing a friend right now." Hermione said as she walked out
"Oh my, this is going to be a long year." Minerva said going back to her seat.
