I said it in the last chapter, this one does have a nasty turn for Harry and Hermione. Nothing too serious but to the point of where Harry's about to blow his stack and Hermione's close to the point of a nervous breakdown.

Enjoy!

Some days later:

Things were quiet for the most part, at least it seemed that way to Harry and Hermione. Ron and Ginny hadn't been bothering them for some time, but the rest of the Gryffindors who didn't side with them kept giving harsh looks every chance they got. On top of it half the Ravenclaws and a third of the Hufflepuffs joined in with Ron and Ginny; it was getting annoying.

"Harry." He was in the Great Hall doing his homework when Neville came over.

"Hey Neville." He sat beside Harry and pulled out his books. They did their homework and as soon as Harry finished he packed up and walked out into the corridor.

"You piece of shit!" he overheard an angry voice coming from the other end of the hall. "You're nothing but a filthy whore, no wonder Krum dumped you!" it sounded like Ron's ex-girlfriend Lavender Brown. Harry ran towards the ruckus and saw Lavender, Ginny, and a Hufflepuff girl ganging up on Hermione, who was slumped against the floor with bruises covering her face and her wand was snapped in half.

"Stop…please…." She was begging and when Harry saw Lavender raise her wand he yanked out his own.

"Expelliarmus!" Lavender's wand flew out of her hand. The three girls turned and the minute they saw Harry they took off in a run. Harry ran to Hermione's side and helped her up, getting a whimper in response. "Hermione, what happened?"

"I-I…I was walking back to the Great Hall…when Lavender pushed me into the wall and started hitting me with Ginny. T-They called me a whore, bitch, and said I'd pay for breaking Ron's heart…" she burst into tears as she spoke.

"It's ok, I've got you come on let's get to the Hospital Wing." He gathered her books thrown across the floor and put her arm around his shoulder.

"Harry, Hermione!" Cho Chang came running over to them. "What happened?"

"Later, Cho could you get the Headmaster and McGonagall, tell them to meet us in the hospital wing."

"Of course." Cho ran off and Harry continued to lead Hermione into the wing where Madame Pomfrey met with them in a flash.

"Ms. Granger my goodness!" she helped Hermione onto a bed. "Who did this to you?" Hermione was crying so much she couldn't speak. "Mr. Potter?"

"She was ambushed in the hall by some Gryffindors and a Hufflepuff. I already sent word to Dumbledore and McGonagall."

"Good, here dear roll up your sleeve." Hermione did so and Harry saw what looked like handprints on her forearms. "Oh my, I have just the thing." Pomfrey pulled out some salve and potions, and Harry saw Dumbledore walking in with McGonagall and Cho.

"Thank you Ms. Chang." Cho nodded and left. "Ms. Granger what happened?" McGonagall went to Hermione's side examining her face.

"I was walking back to the Great Hall…and out of the blue Lavender Brown grabbed me and pushed me into the wall. She and Ginny, started calling me a whore and many other names, then they started hitting and kicking me. Then they brought up Viktor Krum calling me a whore again and then Harry came and stopped them." Hermione's tears dried up but she was still upset and Harry didn't blame her.

"It's true sir, it was Lavender Brown, Ginny Weasley, and a Hufflepuff girl I didn't know her name." Harry.

"I see…Minerva please send word to the Weasleys and the Browns for this behavior. In the mean time I will want the culprits brought here at once this kind of act is extremely outrageous." McGonagall left in a hurry and soon all of Hermione's bruises were about healed.

"I'm going to kill Ron." Harry growled.

"Harry let's not be rash now." Dumbledore tried to calm Harry but he was too tense to even think straight.

"I know he had something to do with this, he let Ginny hurt Hermione!"

"Was he there when Hermione was attacked?" Harry shook his head.

"No, but sir he is her brother!"

"Professor…is there any chance I can be given a private room? I can't go back with Ginny and Lavender after me." Dumbledore thought for a few seconds.

"In light of the recent circumstances I think we can arrange it. Harry, will you require lodging as well?"

"No sir, Seamus and Dean are with me, as is Neville they won't let Ron come after me."

"Very well, Ms. Granger I'll have your things moved to one of the private dorms near Professor McGongall's office as soon as possible."

"Thank you professor." Soon McGonagall came back with the three attackers.

"Ms. Weasley, Ms. Brown, and Ms. Choral would you care to explain why you attacked Ms. Granger in the corridor?" all three girls tried to play innocent.

"I don't know what you're talking about sir." Ginny.

"We'd never attack Granger, even if she is a slut."

"Ms. Brown that's enough." McGonagall. "Mr. Potter claims to have witnessed the three of you brutally attacking Ms. Granger and his description seems to back it up. Now why did you do it?" Lavender looked nervous, but Choral looked worse.

"Girls, you'd best tell us or there will be consequences." Dumbledore stared them down hard and Choral's face reddened so much she looked like she was about to cry.

"It was Ginny's idea!" she pointed at a shocked Ginny. "She said that Hermione needed to learn her place and had to pay for dumping Ron for his older brother, she knew when Hermione went to the Great Hall and we ambushed her. Lavender was all for it!"

"You little liar!" Lavender shrieked about to jump at Choral but stopped with a fierce glare from her head of house.

"I believe you three girls will be spending detention with me for a month every night, fifty points deducted from each of you, and you will not set within ten feet of Ms. Granger or Mr. Potter for attacking a fellow student and such vile name-calling. Is that understood?"

"Yes professor." All three girls gritted through their teeth.

"See me tonight in my office and I will be notifying your head of house Ms. Choral." When they left Dumbledore turned back to the two teens.

"You two'd best keep your eyes open, let me, Minerva, or Severus know if anything else happens."

"Yes sir." He left with McGonagall and Harry immediately held his sister to him.

"Hermione I'm sorry I didn't see this coming."

"It's ok, it's not your fault. I chose to support you and everyone else is just being stupid." Harry held her again and rubbed her back.

"You need to tell George."

"I know, I will tonight. You should go see Draco you don't have to stay here with me."

"No need." They turned and saw Draco in the doorway. "Chang told me what happened; I almost didn't believe it until she said who did it." He walked in and sat on the other side of Hermione. "I can't believe that girl is dumber than I thought."

"Why can't you?" Harry laughed and Draco laughed.

"I'm just glad you're alright Granger." Hermione gave him a small glare.

"Draco how many times do I have to tell you please call me Hermione?"

"I know but I'm just starting to get used to you and me being friends, it's gonna take me some time." He laughed again.

"If I got so used to calling you Malfoy then why do I call you Draco?"

"Oh hush you two." Harry took a good look at Draco and noticed he looked paler than usual, it was almost unnoticeable. "Draco…are you feeling ok?"

"I'm fine Harry why?"

"It's just you look pale, I mean more pale than normal." Hermione leaned in a little.

"He's right Draco you do look pale. Have you eaten anything lately?" Draco shook his head.

"I haven't been very hungry lately, I'll eat dinner though don't worry." Harry was about to speak when Dean and Seamus came flying in with the afternoon Daily Prophet.

"Harry mate have you read this?" Dean held it up and the title read 'Boy-Who-Lived dating Son of Death Eater!' Harry took it from him and read through.

Our Savior has turned his head!

In light of recent events it would appear that our one and only Harry Potter is currently dating the son of former Death-Eater Lucius Malfoy. Sources say that the two have been together for over half a year, possibly after the attack on Malfoy Manor in which Narcissa Malfoy was killed for being a spy to the light. Harry Potter was supposedly in a relationship with Ginevra Weasley but broke off because he quotes 'I don't like girls.'

An anonymous source claims that Draco Malfoy is indeed not a death eater but since his father and godfather are he too shall take the mark. They claim he's poisoning young Harry Potter's mind with lies and slander of being in love with a Slytherin. Harry James Potter was supposed to marry Ginevra Molly Weasley at the end of the war, but apparently he has decided to keep a boy as a lover instead.

Sources also show that Hermione Granger of Gryffindor has had a few share of men herself. In her fourth year of the Tri-Wizard tournament she dated Viktor Krum, and then afterwards she dated Ronald Weasley; apparently he wasn't too appealing for her so she's now currently dating his older brother George Weasley, the half owner of 'Weasley's Wizard Wheezes'. She's more flexible than she seems.

"I loved her, loved her since fifth year and she dumps me for my brother? Then she sides with Harry about Malfoy being good when he clearly has them both under some spell!" – Ronald Weasley.

"I always knew Malfoy was trouble, and now he steals my boyfriend after all I've done for Harry?" – Ginny Weasley.

"Hermione's not as smart as she seems, to think she'd dump a great guy like Ron for the sake of Harry Bloody-Potter!" - Colin Creevey.

If these tales are true, there could be more in stake for our world. Is Harry Potter truly in love with Draco Malfoy, or is he really under a spell? And is Hermione Granger truly the harlot of Hogwarts?

More shall be in touch in time.

Harry crumpled the paper in his hands and threw it to the opposite end of the room. The article really pissed him off but the pictures of him and Draco snogging and Hermione's old pictures of her and Ron were what got to him.

"I officially loathe that woman." Hermione growled.

"Does Dumbledore know about this?" Dean and Seamus shrugged. "This is bullshit, now I'm sure I'll kill Ron."

"Not if you want to end up in Azkaban Harry." Draco touched his arm. "Don't let this get to you, I had a feeling we all had a feeling something like this would happen."

"He's right Harry." Dean. "We got your back though, most of Gryffindor does too." He held Seamus to him.

"Thanks." Harry sighed and Hermione stood up from her bed.

"I've got to go, I need to see if Professor McGonagall's moved my things yet." She left hugging all boys and vanished in the hall.

"She moved out eh?" Seamus.

"Yeah, she can't take Ginny and Lavender stalking her." Harry.

"Don't blame her, half the girls in the dorm want to get her all because Ron's playing the pity card."

"I know, Draco…"

"Yes?"

"Meet me in you-know-where tonight." Harry got up kissing Draco's cheek.

"Ok." Draco left to the other end of the corridor while Harry followed Seamus and Dean back to the Gryffindor common room.

"Password?" the Fat Lady's portrait looked at them.

"Mandrake Juice." The portrait opened and as they entered Harry rushed in and pushed Ron against the wall. "You lying piece of shit!"

"Harry!" Dean and Seams stayed beside him.

"What can't handle the truth?" Ron had a smug smirk on his face.

"It's bad enough you keep throwing shit about me and Draco, but now you're out to get Hermione? She's done nothing wrong!"

"So what, she left me for my brother…" Harry increased his hold on Ron's collar.

"Hermione left you because you were being a jackass! George was there for her when she needed someone to lean on, it's not either of their faults they liked each other. You let Ginny and Lavender nearly beat her to death and put her in the Hospital Wing!"

"Get your hands off my boyfriend Potter!" Harry turned and saw Lavender staring him down with her hands on her hips.

"Stay out of this Brown!" he turned back to Ron. "Tell as many lies as you want, it'll get you nowhere. Stay away from me and Hermione or so help me Voldemort will be secondhand once I'm finished with you!" he punched Ron in the mouth and left up to the dorm with Seamus and Dean behind him.

"Brilliant mate, just brilliant." Dean.

"Thanks, can you guys cover for me after dinner?" they nodded. "Thanks again." He changed from his dirty uniform to a clean one and brought his bag with his cloak inside and clean clothes for the next day. Dinner would be along soon, so he cleaned up and left out of the Gryffindor Tower away from the stares and glares he was getting.

'Tonight is our night Draco.' He thought and entered the Great Hall, Draco was at the Slytherin table chatting with his friends as was Hermione. He took a seat next to her and grabbed a plate full of food.

"We saw the prophet Harry." Pansy said to him. "It's rubbish and we all know it."

"Defintely." Blaise, Crabbe, & Goyle.

"Hey look at Weasley." Draco pointed and they saw Ron on Lavender's arm with his bruised cheek out in the open. "Did you do that?" he looked at Harry.

"Yeah, he deserved worse though."

"You should've waited until tomorrow." Hermione. "I sent word to George and I have a feeling we'll be hearing a howler from Molly and him tomorrow." Harry had to smile, Molly scaring the life out of Ron would make his day.

"So are you two…?" Pansy asked with her hands.

"Yeah." Draco.

"Ok, we'll cover for you." She smiled and winked at Draco. Harry soon finished his food and waited on his boyfriend. Draco didn't have a lot on his plate but it was still half full of food.

"Draco eat up."

"I don't think I can my stomach doesn't want it." He dropped his fork. "Let's go, look half the hall's already left." Harry looked around and saw he was right, dinners had been quick lately.

"Ok let's go." He and Draco left the hall fast holding hands out the door. They made it to the R.O.R. when Harry started kissing Draco's mouth multiple times.

"Harry…" he giggled. "Can't you wait…?" his answer came when Harry tossed him onto the bed the room had ready for them. Harry tossed their bags to the floor and immediately pulled off his shirt.

"Can't wait…need you now…" he kissed Draco again and helped him out of his clothes. They were soon both naked and sprawled out across the bed but Harry didn't want to wait much longer.

"Harry…" Draco moaned as Harry kissed down his chest and stopped at his nipples. After sucking and nipping at them he kissed down Draco's stomach and straight to his groin. "Ah…ahhh…" his blonde angel moaned sweetly as Harry took him full in his mouth. "Harry please…" Harry pulled away just in time before Draco lost it.

"What do you want, tell me what you want Draco." He stoked Draco's blonde hair smoothing it away from his face. Draco's eyes were glistening with tears of lust, like tiny pools of ponds.

"You…I want you…inside me." Harry kissed him again.

"Very well." Harry took some lube off the nightstand and prepared them both quickly. He put Draco's legs over his shoulders and positioned himself at Draco's slicked out entrance. "You ready?"

"Y-Yes…" Draco moaned low then loud as Harry pushed himself in. "AH!"

"Shhh…relax dragon, relax…" he began pushing in and out of his angel getting a deep throaty moan each time he hit that sweet spot inside.

"Ah…ahhh…oh Harry…"

"Draco…you feel so good…" he pushed in and out, both of their foreheads dripping with sweat and both on the verge of coming. Harry grabbed Draco's hard cock and stroked it until with a loud cry Draco came all over their torsos. Harry continued pleasing himself and came too inside Draco.

"Harry…" Draco whimpered and Harry laid down next to him pulling him close. "I love you."

"I love you too Draco, get some sleep we have a big day tomorrow." They kissed once more and fell asleep curled up in each other's arms, neither one worried about what was bound to come next.

Hope you liked it! Next one brings in some news for both Harry and Draco and some more about Voldemort. May also bring in a little ordeal with the Weasleys, but if you want anything in particular to happen please feel free to share.

Later!
