Obsession

Chapter 7: Knowing

Blaise had had a hard time tracking Draco down all day and didn't get a chance to speak to him during class. It was nerve wracking that he had vital information to deliver and when he thought the opportunity came it diminished quicker than Granger whipping her wand out in an ambush. It wasn't until dinner had come around that he actually got the chance to speak with the fair haired wizard.

"Granger told me to give you the message!" Blaise hissed as Draco took the news in the worse way possible.

"How could they possibly know? This is bloody outrageous!" Draco was livid about the whole situation.

"She's just as clueless as you are man." They both looked across the hall to see Hermione sitting with her friends but trying hard to ignore them by reading one of her many books. Draco couldn't help but to notice how Potter and She-Weasel kept looking at each other, then to him, and then to Hermione. 'How the hell did they find out?' Draco knew that they had been extra careful about what they were doing. The idea of anyone seeing them together was impossible. And how is it that Potter and his bitch were the ones to find out?

He once again look at his lover, his girlfriend, his obsession, only to find her eyes looking back into his own. Draco made to get up but she quickly shook her head and he knew that she was telling him they would have to lay low for a while. It was bad enough that they had to sneak around but now they couldn't see each other at all?

Draco couldn't take it anymore, being in the Great Hall with Potter and She Weasel looking at him then to his love, he had to get out. Saying that he'd see Blaise later, he got up and left for the dungeons since he wouldn't be spending the night with his Hermione. As if life couldn't get any worse, Potter just had to stop him halfway through the Entrance Hall.

'Fucking great! I don't need to hear Potter's shite now!' He turned to the boy-who-refuses-to-die, "What the bloody hell do you want Potter?"

Potter looked confused as fuck! Either that, or he'd just formed Down Syndrome somehow.

"Spit it out Potter!" That seemed to get him out of his little trance.

"Look, I don't know nor want to know how this between you and my best friend happened. I don't want to fight you. I'm tired of it. I just don't want to see her hurt."

"I'm not hurting her Potter."

"I don't want her forced into anything either. She's like my sister."

"I'm not forcing anything on her. She chose this. She chose me and I couldn't refuse her."

"Do you-" Potter trailed off.

"Do I what? What do you want to know?"

"Do you love her?"

Well isn't that some ten different kinds of dragon shite! "Y-yes."

Potter nodded his head. "I thought so. I see how she looks at you. I know that she loves you too. This can't be brought out to Ron though."

What did he think that Hermione and I were stupid? We are the two smartest people in the fucking school and he didn't think that we had thought of that? "Hence the reason no one was supposed to know about it, Potter."

"About that, Ginny saw you two together leaving the Room of Requirement. She saw you two kissing. It was all a mistake, walking in on you two."

"And what was she doing around there in the first place?" 'Why should I give a shite anyways?'

"Erm...she was meeting up with me. I was running late. Lately we haven't been able to get in there, now I know why."

"Yea well that was the one place Hermione and I thought that we were safe from everyone." 'Why the bloody hell am I telling him this?'

"Your secret is safe with us, Ginny and I, I mean." Draco nodded his head and started to turn away. He didn't want to put up with it any longer. He just wanted to wallow in his own misery. He couldn't have his Hermione, so the misery was all he had left. "Malfoy." 'Damn! Can't the wanker take a hint?' He turned back to his girlfriend's best friend. "Ginny and I are going to get Hermione to go to the Room of Requirement. If you want, you can join us. Hermione would like that. You and Hermione don't have to hide from us. Ginny and I are okay with it. We just want to see Hermione happy. And it's obvious that she's happy with you."

'What the hell? They want us together?' "Yeah, I'll be there later around midnight." Draco looked at Potter for a minute.

"Thank you. We'll see you then." Potter turned and left to go back to She-Weasel.

'Merlin's saggy left testicle! I'm spending the night hanging out with Potter and his bitch tonight.'
