I do not own Harry Potter…only the plot.

(A/N: To the reviewer who informed me that Ginny getting mad at Hermione because she slept with Draco; Let me explain something [don't think I'm yelling either…I'm just stressing different words] but Ginny gets mad at Hermione because Hermione and Ginny are best friends. And wouldn't you get mad if YOUR best friend LIED to you…if YOUR best friend SLEPT with your enemy. I mean seriously I would feel really betrayed. I hope that clears up that part of the story. -Megan)

Chapter 9

When Pansy finally got out of the room, Hermione stood up and slowly closed the door. She then put her forehead against the door.

"God, she knows exactly what happened between us just now." Hermione mumbled.

"How do you know that?" Draco asked while leaning back in his chair.

Hermione knew she was going to have to tell him that Pansy, Ginny, Ron, and Harry all knew everything that happened between the two of them. But she didn't feel ready to tell him now. However, she didn't have a choice.

"Pansyandallofthemknowwhathap penedthenightofthewedding." Hermione said quickly and walked back over to her desk. She began to shuffle papers and act busy. Draco hadn't said anything yet. She looked up and he was staring at her.

"Hermione, I have no idea what you said but I don't think its going to be something I like. Especially since you went to your desk and are acting busy." He stated.

She looked at him guiltily and gnawed on her lower lip. She sighed.

"You really want to know what I said?" She asked.

"Yes. I do."

"Pansy and all of them know what happened the night of the wedding."

"…"

"Draco."

"Hmm?"

"You look paler than you usually do."

"I do?"

"Yes. You do. Now, what's wrong?"

"How do they know what happened?!" He shouted while standing at his desk.

Hermione stayed seated. "They know because I told them. And before you say anything else, I told them because I was a bloody wreck after seeing you on Friday night."

Draco nodded and slowly sat back down.

Hermione looked at him. "Are you alright now?" He nodded again. "Good. Now, we really do need to start discussing work. We can talk about this some other time." She said as she gathered up papers and began talking business with him.

-Later on that Day-

Hermione was walking to the nearest Floo network. She had managed to sneak away when Draco went to the restroom. They had kept busy all day so she hadn't had to talk anymore about what had happened. Thank God! However, she wasn't that lucky. Before she got there though, Draco stopped her.

"Hermione, wait. Can we talk a little bit more about what we were talking about this morning?" Draco asked.

Hermione sighed. "Sure, Draco. But can we talk about this at my house? I don't want to try having to hide it here in the Ministry. The address is: 500 Walker Drive." She said before stepping into the fireplace and disappearing. Draco followed suit.
