"Harry-Harry! Oi Mate" yelled a voice that to Harry seemed so far away from Harry's mind.

"Huh? – Oh sorry. I seem to have a habit of getting distracted, more like concentrating." Harry seist as Ginny approached closer.

"Hey Ginny, how are ya?" Asked Harry. She stared at him intently; no one else seemed to notice.

"Never been better." She said sadly. Her eyes puffy, red and had the look of been crying.

"How is Dean?" asked Ron disgustingly.

"If you must know Ronald, Dean and I are no longer seeing each other-"Harry's eyes filled with pure relief but no one noticed that either. Hopefully. "- I caught him cheating on me with Lavender Brown. Gosh I hate her. No offence won-won!" She said cruelly. Hermione's eyes flaring, she rolled over not to look back over at them.

"He actually broke up with me. He had the nerve after what he did. Saying I was all 'slutty' as he put it. That I was still in love with-"she broke off midsentence. She looked over at Harry for a split second that was unnoticed by Ron. But Harry saw it all.

"In love with someone else. And on top of all that, he accused me of cheating on him with Colin. That was the end of it. So I hit him" she laughed. Both boys' eyes widened with surprise.

"With a bat bogey hex. Should have seen him after that. Now that was an image." She laughed even harder.

"But you do go out with a lot of guys. I mean – um-"Ron cleared his throat.

"-He deserved what he got. Cheating on my little sister. No guy is ever coming close you again." Snarled Ron

Harry did not like the sound of that; he looked over at Ginny only to see her looking back at him. He looked into her brown eyes, she into his green eyes. She smiled, but he didn't know what to do and turned away. Ron was still completely oblivious, but he was too occupied talking on the 'attack' on Dean.

"So when are you planning on telling us about your – um- mystery man "Smirked Ron.

"Mystery man?"Asked Ginny, but she stopped quickly and for good reason.

"No need to be cruel. Just because you're angry for whatever reason-"started Hermione.

"Whatever reason? The whatever reason is that your meeting up with some guy that we don't even know. You won't tell us. How are we supposed to protect you or let alone win you back." He said angrily until only to go quiet at the last few words.

"Win me back? I am not some toy Ron; I am not a pawn you can move around as you please. I chose this; you have nothing to do with it." She yelled furiously, she was not impressed.

"Win you back as in I lost my chance. They won, got in first. I left, thinking that when I was to come back. Everything would pick up as if I never left. But clearly I left behind something – no- someone that I couldn't hide from other guys. That was too- well- beautiful to hide in the dark." He said sadly.

"But that is just it isn't it. You try and hide me, I am not a pet. You think after months I was going to keep waiting. Waiting for you? I have been waiting long before you left Ron, but were not exactly available now; were you Won-Won? I waited to long and now I met someone that won't leave me or abandon me like you did." She stood up strikingly, next to her bed and looked down upon her closest friends and said one word that was to change everything.

"Draco."

They stared at her blank eyes.

"Draco? Draco!" all 3 yelled.

"What is wrong with you?" Yelled Harry.

"Are you mental?" asked Ginny dumbfounded.

"You have got to be bloody joking. I mean- seriously. You must be under a spell. Love potion?" He asked.

"Umm" But Harry continued to stare at Hermione, as did Ginny who did not even move or talk.

"Thanks for your help mate!"

Hermione stared deep into Ron's eyes. No words came out of her mouth. Until-well.

"I love him Ron. Why can't you accept that? The fact that someone makes me happy like you 'never' did. He won you lost, just like how your life goes. Second to Harry Potter who your mother prefers and second to Draco Malfoy who beat you. Second to any guy I see coming. I am his, he is mine. But us both have something in common." She continued to stare.

"So that is how you truly feel about him? Him? He as been one of our worst enemies for years now and now your fooling around with him. He has called you a MUDBLOOD! He yelled.

"Stop yelling, I do not like it."

"Well get over it. Now you have to deal with all of us yelling." Snarled Ginny.

"Yeah Hermione, that is what friends do, but soon I am losing the accepting of you," Harry smirked.

"What is wrong with you? Did you bang your head and did your brain go all mushy and stupid?" asked Ginny sarcastically.

"Nothing is wrong with her; can you not accept her feelings? She is your friend. Accept her for her decisions." Draco said calmly, who had just appeared next to Hermione abruptly.

"No one asked you Draco." Spat back Ron.
