I hope the last chapter was fine

So here's the next one! Please enjoy and do remember that nothing belongs to me!

The Slytherins and Gryffindors were sitting down together for another meal together. Ginny looked at Ron and nudged Hermione. The red-head was not stuffing all the food into his mouth as if it was his last meal. But someone other than them had also noticed it.

"Not stuffing your mouth with food as usual Weasley?" the sarcastic voice of Malfoy said.

"Uh?" Ron asked, too distracted.

"What's up Ron?" Ginny asked with concern.

Before Ron could answer, Lavender came up to him.

"Oh! Ronnikins I'm so sorry!" she said in a high pitched girly voice. "I shouldn't have said all that! Please forgive me won-won."

Malfoy choked on his pumpkin juice.

For the first time, no one said anything on his behaviour.

"What did you call him?" he asked.

"Ronnikins." Lavender said.

"No no. After that."

"won-won. He's my sweet little won-won, are you not?" Lavender asked Ron.

"HA HA HA!" Malfoy laughed while the others were trying to stifle their laughter.

Lavender was about to reply indignantly when there was a sudden odd cough from Harry. His face was a funny combination of emotions.

"Oh come on Potter." Malfoy said between his laughter. "I know you want to laugh. Just do it. Go on!" he encouraged.

Harry, unable to hold in his laughter anymore burst out. Mafloy laughed even harder. Both of them laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. Seeing them laughing, the Slytherins also started. Seeing them, Hermione and Ginny also started laughing.

None of them could stop. Ron, however was not laughing. He was smiling at the laughing group in front of him. After a while, all of them stopped laughing and calmed down. Ron was still smiling at them and Lavender was glaring at them furiously. Ron turned to face Lavender.

"I cannot forgive you. You may please leave now."

"Aw.. Ronnikins please!" Lavender pleaded.

The rest of them couldn't laugh anymore and could only giggle.

"Leave." Ron said. "I told you that we had broken up and that is all. Don't talk to me anymore."

Lavender stomped off to her seat.

"Ron, what happened?" Hermione asked.

"We just had a little fight, that's all."

"Tell me, will you?" Hermione asked.

"Is it necessary?"

"Yes."

"Well, after Ginny and Nott threw the Oppugno Jinx at Lavender and Parvati they went down to the Black Lake and sat there crying. I went after them as we left for classes, and Lavender shouted at me. She said that I would have gotten up and come to her support if I had truly loved her. She also said that I supported Ginny and Nott and did not love her. It was not true love I guess." Ron concluded.

"Oh Ron I'm so sorry!" Ginny said. "I never thought about this."

"It's alright Ginny." Ron said, smiling. "No problem. I never did love her I guess.'

"It's hard to break up with someone, especially with no fault of yours." Pansy spoke up.

Ron and the others looked astonished for a minute, then Ron spoke. "I guess it is."

"It is, trust me." Pansy said silently.

"Pans," Malfoy said concern etched across his face, reaching for her.

"I'm fine Draco."

"Don't let it affect you." Blaise said.

"You deserve to be happy with someone who loves you." Theo said.

Pansy smiled at them.

"What happened?" Ron asked.

"None of your concern, Weasley." Malfoy sneered.

"Keep quiet Draco." Pansy said. She turned to Ron. "I'd rather not go into the details." She said. "I loved a person. He was my first love. I was talking to Draco once, and I also hugged him. It was just a brotherly hug, the ones that Granger, Potter and Weasley share." She said while Hermione, Harry and Ron smiled at each other. "Well, he saw it, and then accused me of betraying him and left me just like that." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Ron said as Draco, Blaise and Theo comforted her.

"It's alright." Pansy said cheerfully. "You just wanted to know. Friends?" she asked Ron.

"Of course!" Ron said, extending his hand.

Ron didn't know why, but he felt a soft spot for Pansy in his heart.

After the night meal, all of them went up to their dorm and got to work in the common room.

Harry, Ginny and Ron were researching some Quidditch techniques, while the rest of them did their homeworks. As expected, Hermione finished first.

"I'm going to bed." She announced.

"Are you done Granger?" Blaise asked.

"Of course."

"Well that is pretty fast." Theo said.

"Even I'm going up to bed." Malfoy said.

"You guys are fast." Pansy said.

"Goodnight everyone!" Hermione said and went to the stairs.

"Goodnight all Slytherins and Gryffindors!" Malfoy said and went to Hermione with his smirk plastered on his face.

"Night Granger." He said.

"Night Malfoy." She said.

"Tell me if you get any more dreams about kissing this man here." He said as he pointed to himself.

"You wish. And I don't think I will have any more crazy dreams like that."

"That's good. Shall we go sleep now?" He said, smirking more than ever. It took Hermione a minute to completely comprehend the meaning of his sentence.

"Why Malfoy you complete asshole!" she cried, chasing him to his room.

He went inside and locked his door. No magic would open it unless Hermione would blast it off. But she couldn't do that. "I'll get you tomorrow!" she yelled through his door.

"Of course, love!"

Surprisingly, Hermione found herself blushing as he called her 'love.' "Why am I blushing?" she thought furiously and stomped off to her room.

The other Gryffindors and Slytherins had heard the entire conversation and had once again seen Hermione blush. They laughed hard for the second time that night, then abandoned their homework and went to bed.

Draco Malfoy was smirking. He felt so good teasing Granger in THAT WAY. It was a good feeling. Astonishingly, he had liked it when he called her 'love'. "I really must be going mental." He thought, as he fell into a deep slumber.

Hermione Granger lay in her bed, thinking about Malfoy. Why did she blush when he called her 'love'? Why did she blush? She should have just closed his mouth permanently. But she couldn't. She just couldn't. "I should really go to St Mungo's and get myself checked." She thought as she fell asleep.
