A/N: I know they knew Luna already...But things are different because Draco is not a Slytherin.
Hermione's POV
Well, obviously, Draco has moved on...so I'm just going with Harry. I should have known Draco was only letting me stay there to comfort me,
after all, my boyfriend did cheat on me. Okay now I'm starting to sound like a Slytherin, but I want revenge! Not just revenge, I want to see
Ron boiling in anger. I smile at that thought. Revenge! Something I should have learned about earlier.
I know I only have guy friends and Ginny, but I really really want to make some other friends. I see a young curious looking girl with curly
blonde hair and I go to talk to her. "Hello, I'm Luna!" the girl says, obviously excited that someone is talking to her. She seems like quite a nice
girl yet she has no friends.
"I'm Hermione I'm in Gryffindor." I say proudly, Luna smiles, "I'm in Ravenclaw." she says shyly. I would have put her in Hufflepuff. "That's
cool..." I say smiling. "Who are you going to the dance with?" I ask smiling as her face lights up with happiness. "I'm going with Neville
Longbottom!" she says happily. I smirk, I didn't know Neville was going...
"Oh! Wow, thats cool..." I say smiling, "Neville is a good friend of mine!" she smiles again and looks off into the distance. "Who are you going
with?" she asks in a far off voice. "Harry..." I say quietly, trying not to be heard. She directs her attention towards me, "Harry Potter?" she asks
in her peculiar accent. I nod, "Well, thats nice. What class are you headed to?" "I'm going to Potions." I say, becoming more interested in this
odd girl.
"Thats nice, I'm headed to Transfigurations, nice talk. Really." she says then she walks in the opposite direction than me.
"Why were you talking to Loony Lovegood?" a voice whispers in my ear. I turn in shock and colide with the one and only Harry Potter. "Hello..." I
say smirking at him. We stop walking, so we're both standing in the middle of a busy hall way. Harry gets closer and closer, "Um...I think we
should go to potions...it seems like Snape's in a bad mood today..." I say putting my finger up to his lips which were getting dangerously close to
my own.
Harry sighs and grabs my hand before I can pull myself completely away from him. I smile as we walk down the hallway hand in hand. I don't
want to be called the girl who is completely dependent of some guy, but it does feel good. Having someone hold your hand. He pulls me into
Snape's class room. We sit before he notices we were late and I give out a sharp breath. "That was close!" I whisper into Harry's ear.
Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger, Public displays of affection are not tolerated in our school. Harry and I both blush and separate ourselves. "Sorry..."
We both say quietly returning to our work.
Once class is over, Harry and I have a free period then lunch. So we decide to go and get a Butterbeer. Harry opens the door of the Three
Broomsticks. We walk into a busy pub and sit down at a free table. "Harry...Have you noticed anything odd about Draco?" I ask looking at Draco
who is sitting with some Slytherin students and chatting. "He's been...acting weird." I say nodding in his direction. Harry looks over at him
then looks over at me, eyes wide.
"Hermione, why is he sitting with Slytherin's?" I just stare at him, "I guess he feels like they're more like family than us." I say holding back
tears. Draco was a nice boy, no one gave him enough credit. They called him 'Blood Traitor' and things much much worse. No one should
have to endure that, over nothing, but good choice and a pure heart.
I look at him, he makes eye contact with me, then smirks and whispers something to a girl next to him. She cackles and Draco looks back at
me and rolls his eyes then I turn away. I sigh, "Um... two Butterbeer's please." I say to the witch waiting next to us. She smiles and walks
away writing something on a note pad.
"Harry..." I say quietly. Harry turns to look at me, his bright blue eyes twinkling. "What if something is happening with Draco... what if his
father is doing something to him?" Harry just smiles, "Calm down 'Mione, you're stressing again, This is all Draco's choice, maybe he doesn't
want to hang out with us anymore. He's allowed to make friends yes?" I nod and accept the Butterbeer the woman brings. She smiles and I
just sip it happily.
"'Mione. You've got a little..." I look down seeing that he ment there is a bit of Butterbeer on the top of my lip. I move to wipe my lip, but
Harry gets a napkin and dabs my lip. His eyes never leaving mine. He doesn't move his hand from my mouth then he slowly leans foreword.
"Harry mate!" I sit back quickly fixing my robes and look up to see none other than Luna Lovegood and a battered up Ronald Weasley.
"Merlin...Ron... did you get run over by a train?" I say hearing a chuckling Harry. We still haven't goten over that...whole cheating issue.
"No..actually Draco beat me up...for no apparent reason, bloody hell he has a mad uppercut." I roll my eyes, "Amazing." I say sarcastically.
"Woah... Hermione Granger using sarcasm, I never thought I'd see the day." Draco says smirking as he and his new found Slytherin
buddies walk closer.
"What do you want Draco...I'm not in the mood, but why are you suddenly acting so rude?" I ask sipping on my drink.
"Well, you'd love to know wouldn't you Granger." I look at him. "Did you just call me Granger" I ask standing up with my finger poking him in
the chest. Draco smirks, "Well, yes I did Granger, Got a problem...I have to think that you like it when I call you that."
I give him a glare, "Why?" I say in a small voice, so only he could hear it.
"Well, I could say it turns you on...Others would say, it makes you feel desirable." I look at him, My ex-best friend now.
Why was he suddenly being such a prick. If I had known he would be this way, I wouldn't have trusted him with all of my secrets.
He knows more than Ron or Harry ever would. It's sickening, that now, after all we've been through. He decides to call me by my last name.
As if my first name is dirty or unusable. Then he goes and says that I get turned on by my last name. That's the last straw.
I put my hand on his cheek as if I was going to kiss him, then when he is distracted I raise my leg and knee him right in the manhood.
He groans loudly and falls to the floor. Harry grabs my hand and quickly runs out of the building. I get pulled after him. He quickly does a spell
and his broom comes flying quickly towards us.
"Harry...you know how much I fucking hate to fly." he smiles, "Don't swear. It's a bad look on you." I smile and then become nervous
again because Harry's already mounted the broom and is pulling me on. I go on hesitantly, but hold onto Harry tightly.
He coughs and I let go. "Don't let go, I just had a tickle. Actually, hold on again, I liked it when you held onto me. "
I giggle and hold back onto him. "Fine, just go." My grip tightens when he pushes off the ground. My breathing hitches and I start shaking.
"'Mione, You're fine. Breathe, its okay." I open my eyes to see us flying over a lake.
"Were are we going?" I ask him in a shaky voice. "You'll see..." he says chuckling. I breathe in and tighten my legs around him and hold on
tighter. Harry leans foreword on his broom, and we go down towards the lake. He smiles and we land on a secluded little island far out from the
castle. "Harry, this is amazing, how did you find it?" Harry grins, "Fred and George." he says plainly then sits down and slides off his shoes.
"What are you doing?" I ask him watching him walk into the water. "I'm going into the water." he says smiling and rolling his pants up.
"Okay?" I say giggling and I slide off my shoes and join him. "Its so beautiful here..." I say smiling. Harry smiles and puts his arm around me.
"No one's ever been here before." he says smirking, "Just Fred and George." I nod and walk back to the shoes sliding them on.
It's sweet that he'd go through asking Fred and George how to get here just to take me. Its sweet that he'd take me here. I sit down and put
my head on the sand. "Harry it's time to go back..." I say smiling. He frowns then lays next to me. "I don't want to though!" He whines
kissing me softly on the lips. I smile at his touch, its soft, and I melt into it then pull back. "Really, we have to go..." I say as he comes back.
"Harry, we have to go back for lunch..." I say groaning as he kisses up my neck. "I don't want to leave Hermione..." He says nipping at my
neck. I smile, "Okay, we'll stay." I say kissing him back. "But you owe me." he chuckles. "Why do I own you?" he says smirking.
"Because I'm missing lunch." I say plainly, sitting on his lap and laying soft butterfly kisses down his neck. "But maybe, I'm not hungry
after all." I say giggling as he returns the kiss.
