Who would ever think that saying the truth would end up tragically? Hermione rushed to the Gryffindor common room completely confused. She didn't know what to do, she knew it wasn't his fault that he fancied her, but she still ended up with a headache. She sat on one of the couches and stared gloomily into the fireplace.
Meanwhile, while she was in the common room, Draco stood facing his office window; he walked around to think through on what happened just a few moments ago. Guilt was written all over his face, or so he thought.
"I'm such a git!" he shouted as he kicked the side of his table. He didn't know what to do either.
The next few days silence fell upon the two. They would walk pass by each other and just stare, then continue with their daily lives like nothing ever happened. Each time Draco would ask a question, Hermione breathed deeply before she answered and stutter. Some of the people noticed her behavior, Ron, Harry and Ginny to be exact.
As soon as all of them were in the common room they all confronted Hermione.
"Hermione, we need to talk to you." Ron said
"Yeah 'Mione, it's urgent, we need to know. " Harry added.
"What is going on between you and Draco?!" Ginny said loudly.
"Ginny! I thought we told you to keep your mouth shut!" Ron said as he pushed his sister's head.
"Don't you tell me what to do Ron!" Ginny demanded, she hit Ron on the back and the two started fighting, as they do almost everyday.
'Guys, guys!" Harry said, making them stop immediately. "This talk is about Hermione right? So why don't you two postpone your war and pay attention!"
The two sat silently and looked down to the floor.
"Hermione, we know there's something wrong with you and Draco." Harry said.
"With who?" Hermione asked.
Harry sighed. "Professor Malfoy Hermione."
"Oh, him. There's nothing wrong guys." Hermione said firmly.
"Liar!" Ginny suddenly said.
"Shhhhh!" Ron told Ginny.
"Come on Hermione, we all know you here, we all know when you're lying." Harry said, the other two nodded.
Hermione all stared at them, and they stared at her. Ginny wanted to say something but couldn't say it since Ron covered her mouth. She struggled to break free and bit him.
"Oww!" Ron said, shaking his hand vigorously.
"Hermione, please tell us, we want to help." Harry and Ginny said.
Hermione sighed as her best friends pleaded to get her to speak up. She finally gave up her silence and told them what had happened a few days ago. After she told the whole story, they all went silent and Ron abruptly said:
"WHAT?! A teacher fancying a student? Bloody hell that's wrong!
"Ronald! Can't you see she's in distress?" Ginny said
"Distress? She shouldn't be in distress she should be speaking up to him like a real woman should!" Ron answered back.
The two started fighting again, for particularly no reason at all. But before Harry could say anything Hermione caught their attention.
"Ron's right Gin."
"What?!" Ron and Ginny said in unison
"He's right, I should speak up to him, and the silence is killing me. Thanks for the talk guys, but now I have to do my homework."
Hermione left them and went to the girls' dormitory. Ron Harry and Ginny were left dumbfounded.
"I was right…" Ron said. "In your face Ginny!"
"Oh shut it." She replied.
The next day Hermione felt better than she ever did. She got it all planned out. First she was to ask him for a moment to talk, then she'd talk to him about what happened and why he fancies her, then she'll ask him politely to just forget about relationships. She thought it was a good plan so she stuck with it.
After their D.A.D.A class just after all the students left the room, Hermione set her plan into action.
"Professor, I mean Draco." She said nervously.
"Yes Miss Granger?" he replied coolly.
"Could I have a word with you, it'll just take a minute I swear." Hermione said.
"Of course Miss Granger." He said.
Hermione and Draco went to each other and Hermione suddenly felt awkward again.
"Draco, about what happened a few days ago, I'm really sorry I chickened out." Hermione explained
"No worries Hermione, it was a stupid act, I blame myself for it. I apologize." He said, still being a perfect gentleman.
"I-I er. Ok then I-"
"Don't worry Miss Granger we could start over, and pretend it never happened. Now if you excuse me, I have to prepare for my next class, good day to you Hermione."
Hermione was left there. She felt an emotion she never felt before, it was like a feeling of rejection. Sure the planned worked out unexpectedly but she still didn't know why it ended like that. She went out of the room with her books in her hand and went to her next class. Could it be that he gave up on her that easily? Hermione didn't know what to do anymore.
