Chapter 9- Getting Confronted

Hermione was so happy. She had been with Draco for a couple weeks. She was walking down from the Girl's Dorm on the way for some breakfeast when she heard someone call her name. She turned to see who it was.

"Hi Neville! It's good to see you! What do you need?"

"Can I talk to you privitely?"

"Sure. We can go to the library."

"Ok." Neville led the way out. Once they got there they found a corner where they could sit by themselves.

"Hermione? Are you happy? I mean with Draco?" Neville asked. Hermione could tell that he was just looking out for her. She looked at Neville and smiled.

"I guess. I mean there are reasons why I shouldn't be able to be with him but for right now I am happy."

"Hermione go with what your heart tell's you not what other people say. Ok?"

"Thank you Neville. Your the only one who's supporting me. Not even Harry. Now let's go get some breakfeast. I'm starving!" Hermione and Neville were both laughing when they walked in. Hermione felt someone staring at her and searched for who it was. She got met with a pair of grey eyes and she smiled at him and he returned her smile. When Hermione sat down the Gyffindor table got real silent. Wow that's one way to show you aren't talking about them She thought to herself. She went to grab some eggs but they were gone before she could get any. It was the same with everything she tried to grab. She didn't know what was happening until she looked up. Everyone had all the food.

"You're just going to let me starve?" She asked

"Guess so." Ginny answered.

"Maybe if you weren't with Malfoy you wouldn't be treated like this. Wait not even then. No one like's you Hermione not anymore." Hermione was surprised at who said it. Harry. Harry had said what had hurt her most. She couldn't stop the tears that went down her face. She got up since no one was going to give her any food and ran away. With the Great Hall laughing at her except 2 people. Who were gathering lots of food for her. She ran to the lake. Tears running down her face. She just wished Draco was by her side.

"Hermione!" Draco yelled with Neville right beside him. Both of them bringing food to Hermione.

"Leave me alone!" Hermione yelled. She couldn't hear their voices over her sobs. She thought it was people to come out to make fun of her more.

"Hermione! Where are you? Please tell us?" Neville said

Hermione heard it was Neville but who would come out with him? She was hoping it was Draco.

Then Draco found her. Curled up, head on her knees and shaking with sobs.

"They don't know what I've been through! They don't have a right to do treat me like this." She said looking up at him.

"I know. But listen you have me ok? And Neville over here. We would never leave you. Do you believe me?" Hermione nodded and Draco sighed in relief.

"We brought you some food Hermione." Neville said handing it to her. Draco did the same.

"Thanks" She whispered

"If you don't mind I would like a tiny bite cause I didn't get to finish my food cause I gathered food for you and ran." Draco said with a small smile. Hermione giggled.

"Sure. Neville do you want a little bite too?"

"I thought you weren't going to ask." Then he slumped down beside her. Then all three of them started laughing.

"Draco, you better not break her heart or I'll hurt you myself. Deal?" Neville asked after they were done eating.

"I would never hurt her." With Hermione in his lap, taking a nap, lying against his shoulder.

"Good. Then we don't have anything to worry about do we?"

"Guess not." Draco said with a smile and kissed Hermione's head.
