(A/N: Okay here is the next chapter. The gang's reaction to Dramione. Enjoy.)

Hermione was suddenly very unsure about what she was about to do. Rarely did she regret her decisions but this feeling was dangerously close to that. She couldn't back down now, she was the one that had asked if she could tell her friends, and he'd supported her entirely, not once did he even suggest they wait longer. In fact he'd insisted that he be with her when she tell her friends, but she had insisted that would only make it more difficult to actually tell them. And she was right. If Draco was in the room when she told them she'd never get a word in.

She was on her way to the empty classroom she'd asked to meet them in, her mind spinning. She hoped that Ginny would at least try to see her point of view and side with her. She knew that Luna would understand, and Nevil would trust her judgment. Harry and Ron were the one's she worried about, both of them considered Draco to be their enemy. They were her best friends but how would they react to this?

When she reached the classroom she found everyone sitting there waiting. Ron and Harry were sitting on top of a table, Ginny sat in a chair with her feet propped on a desk, Luna was leaning against the window, and Nevil was actually sitting at a desk properly, leaning back with his eyes closed.

"Hermione, there you are. What did you need to talk to us about?" Nevil asked, being the first to notice her appearance. Harry and Ron pulled their eyes away from the Quidditch magazine and Ginny and Luna both turned to look towards her as well.

"Well, um, it's… its kind of hard to explain. But I need you guys to hear me out, okay?" she was never this nervous or stuttering this much, it had all five of her friends looking at her hesitantly but intent.

"Well, come on then, what is it?" Ginny asked, knowing Hermione would stand there like she'd been hit with a petrifying charm for hours before actually getting to her point.

"I've been secretly seeing someone for most of this year, and I felt bad keeping it from you any longer." She confessed, hoping to ease them into it. They all stared for a moment before launching into a mix of congratulations and questions.

"Well who is it?" Harry asked, almost forced to shout over Ginny excited squeal.

"Yes, Hermione, do tell us?" Luna added, her dazed expression couldn't hide the interest that sparked in her eyes.

"Well, that's the tricky part. It's… uh…. Draco Malfoy." She braced herself for the bombardment. But all she received were shocked stares, well from everyone but Ginny, who'd falling off her seat and was currently brushing the dust off her skirt.

"Wait…what? When did this-? How did you-? Why?" Harry was just in his genera state of confusion. Nevil was helping Ginny up and Luna was gazing out the window. Ron was actually the one she expected to scream at her, but he was rather calm, which was highly suspicious.

"Look, it doesn't matter how but I got him to open up and once we moved past our childhood nonsense we found that we really get along. And it lead to this. And I wanted to tell you all because you guys are my best friends."

"Okay, so just to get this right, run through it again with me?" Ginny requested, "So, somehow you got Mr. Stoic to open up. Then you got him to apologize for making your childhood a living hell. Then somewhere between apologizing and now you and he became some strange breed of couple. And now you're telling us. Right?" Hermione nodded, not sure she agreed with the way Ginny phrased it but deciding to let that go.

"So he's not an asshole anymore? He doesn't believe in all that blood purity shit?" Harry clarified.

"No."

"So why does he still… act like he believes all that shit?" Nevil asked.

"He won't tell me too much of how his family is involved but he did say if he doesn't help his father hold up their end of the deal than he and his mother are as good as dead."

"Why doesn't he just run?"

"His mother would never leave his father, and he won't leave his mother to suffer."

"Wow this is complicated." Ginny called out before walking over to Hermione and pulling her into a hug, "But I'm glad you're happy, even though we both know how anxious you must be, not knowing how all this will turn out." Ginny smiled, before joining Harry on top of the desk.

"Whatever you think is best Hermione, if you say he's changed and trust him then so will I." Nevil assured her.

"Anything to add, Luna?" Ginny called. Receiving a subtle shake of the head. "What about you Ron? You've been awfully quiet."

Ron's ears started to turn red.

"I… uh… like Nevil said, I trust your judgment Hermione." Ron was shifting and his ears only got redder with everyone's eyes on him.

"You knew!" Ginny accused, pointing a finger at her brother.

"What! No… I didn't…. well…. Yeah. I did know." He admitted one glance at his sister and Hermione told him he wouldn't be able to lie to them.

"When… how did you find out?" Hermione asked, worried now that others might have seen.

"Well, I went to the library once you got out of the infirmary… to apologize. It was really late but I thought I heard your voice so I looked around more and… I just saw you guys."

"And you didn't freak out and go crazy on them?"

"Wow, that's very mature of you Ron."

"Yeah, I guess. Look so now that everyone knows, what do we do now?" Ron asked the question that was on everyone's mind. This didn't change the face that there was still a war, and they were at the center of it. All of them knew that when the fighting finally broke out Draco wouldn't stand by Hermione, Hermione even knew that.

(A/N: Hope you liked it. I don't think that her friends would freak out, they are all supportive friends, and I think that all of them kinda knew something was going on, even if they didn't know Draco was a part of it. Please review and ps. I have no idea where I'm going with this story anymore :/ )
