A/N- Sorry that I could not update sooner it was such a crazy, hectic, fan girl weekend. Best weekend of my life, actually.

You might notice the set up is a little different in this one, and if you do well then good for you! And if you don't, well then I really have nothing to say to that. (I'm just messing around with you guys).

Notice: At the end of the this story I will have a rant about my very Tom Felton weekend and if you would like to read about it/him you can, obviously you don't have to but I'm letting you know so I don't waste your time if you really don't care.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter but I so do wish I owned Tom Felton.

Confusion

Friday: The Great Hall- Breakfast

Hermione sighed as she took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Ron smiled at her but she didn't return it back. She felt bad for feeling mad at Ron for something he did not intentionally do. But she was too upset about everything to really worry about that. Yesterday, the rest of detention went as it should have. No suggestive looks from Draco or stares, he didn't even try to start up a quarrel with Snape. He just sat there and stared down at the table for the hour, rifling his hair back a few times. Not that she was staring at him and all…

The only thing that did happen was a purposeful brush past when detention ended. He looked at her after he did so and she looked back. No smirks on his face, just a look and then as quickly as it happened it ended and he took off down the hall. Hermione had watched him until Ginny started pulling her away, luckily her friend having no clue what was going on. Ginny insisted a few times that she should go the infirmary but she just told her she was fine and maybe that she was just catching a cold. Which more flees of protests came her way from Ginny when she was told that.

Hermione uneasily set her books down and picked up an apple, turning it over in her hand. Ron frowned at her as she placed it back into the pile of food, refusing it. "Not eating?" Ron asked her.

"Yeah, you might want to hurry up and do so before Ron eats everything." Harry joked. Hermione didn't even try to smile at his attempted humor. She wasn't in the mood to be around anybody. Stupid Malfoy, she was letting him put her in a bad mood. He was to blame. She wanted to tell Ginny what was going on, but that would put Ginny in an awkward position. Guys should not be getting that close to her when she was dating someone. That someone specifically being her brother. She was also too embarrassed to tell Ginny, that this certain guy was Draco Malfoy. On the other hand, she knew her friend had her suspicions that something was up. But then she would have to confess to Ginny that she did lie to her and something was up.

She blew out an aggravated breath and flicked a crumb that had been blow to her side of the table. "Hermione," Ron said.

"Not now, Ron." Yes, now she felt even worse. Ron, Harry, and Ginny shared a three-way look that made her uncomfortable. She could either leave and be the talk amongst the three of them or she could sit here and make everybody feel bad around her.

"Maybe I should go…" She put her hands on the table about ready to push herself up when Ginny's hand pressed down on her shoulder and eased her back into her seat.

"Don't do that, you just got here. You should eat, you said you were feeling sick yesterday."

"I didn't necessarily say that."

"You said you were so sick you might be going delusional?" Ginny frowned.

"I was kidding," Hermione waved her off and attempted a fake laugh that failed miserably. She scanned over the uneasy faces of her friends and frowned.

"Hermione I think-" Hermione held up a hand in protest.

"We'll talk later, Ron." She gave up, letting her first choice win. Hermione stood up from the table and gathered up her things. "See you guys later," She said, before quickly slipping out of the Great Hall.

Draco's eyebrow held his arch as he watched Granger's actions. First laughing then fleeing? She was an intriguing one. Pansy brought Draco back to his surroundings as she continuously tapped her fingers on the table. Draco flinched after the, what seemed like to him, hundredth time and craned his neck to look at her. She had an annoyed and bored look plastered on her face, typical Slytherin. Draco put his hand over her tapping one and pressed down on it, so her hand lay flat on the table. She looked over at him with a cocked eyebrow.

"Stop," He said in a warning tone, "tapping." Pansy frowned as he moved his hand away from hers and into his lap. His annoyance was growing impatient as he sat there. Wanting to follow Granger out, and add to her distress, he decided against it. He already knew he had her worked up from their little encounter yesterday in detention. But he soon began to regret his abrupt actions.

Being that close to her was… well he didn't know what to think of it. He'd never been that close to the Mudblood before, he could feel her breath against his chin as she froze between him. Her breath becoming shorter as she tried to stop it hitting against him. It was a weird sensation he got, but one he couldn't decipher what it exactly meant yet. He did not want to dwell on the fact that he let himself go that far, he just needed to be a little more… cautious next time.

Feeling the desire not to be near his Slytherin mates, he followed Granger's actions and stood up. "Where are you going?" Pansy asked him, looking up at him.

Away from you, he so desperately wanted to say but bit his tongue. He grabbed his bag and pulled it up and onto his shoulder. "Leaving, obviously." He said to the group. Crabbe and Goyle pulled themselves up to follow his suit and he abruptly said, "Alone." They looked confusingly at each other and then threw a displeasing look in his direction. "I've got to do something." He lied. He watched as their shoulders relaxed and they took their seat again. Draco left the table without another word and out into the corridors of Hogwarts.

Friday: Potions Class

"Ron," Hermione warned. "You are doing it wrong!" When he ignored her, Hermione's hands flew up in a failed attempt to take her word. "Ron!" She said, a little too loudly as Ron's cauldron began to bubble fiercely, with the messed up potion he made.

"I can't concentrate with you yelling at me!" Ron said back, blowing the bubbles to seize it down before it threatened to bubble over.

"If you had just listened! I was only trying to help you." She sneered at him.

"Well when I need help I'll ask for it!" Ron told her.

"Mr. Weasley," Professor Slughorn rounded the table and stopped next to him to examine the bubbling over potion. "You should have asked for some help. This was a tricky one." Hermione flashed Ron an I told you so look. Not her most mature moment, but she was fed up with him. Ron just shrugged at her. Professor Slughorn's eyes traveled to Harry's cauldron next and they lit up.

"Harry! My boy!" He came around to give Harry a pat on the back. "Well done!" Harry smiled up at his teacher.

"Thanks Professor," Slughorn then turned his attention to Hermione and she smiled at him, showing off her potion.

"Miss Granger," He eyed it. "Very nice… attempt." He gave her a half smile before descending onto the next table.

"Attempt," Ron leaned over and repeated to her.

"Thanks Ronald, I heard him fine." She closed her Potion's book angrily and her eyes flashed over to Malfoy. He was watching her. She raised an eyebrow and turned away from him. Let him watch, she told herself. I don't care.

Friday: The Gryffindor Common Room- 8:20 PM

Hermione sat cozily on the couch, reading a book in her lap. This was the most she felt at ease today. With Ron's annoying comments, Ginny's inquiring questions, and Draco's relentless stares, she had been quite wound up. It was nice for her to get lost in a book before having to go to detention. Which she had to face with two out of the three people that were on her backs non-stop. And switch Ron out for Snape and you could play a fun game of, who can annoy Hermione the most! She knew Ginny and Ron only had her in their best interest, but she was getting sick of it. She let out a frustrated sigh and was interrupted with a clearing of the throat. Hermione's eyes traveled up and out of her book and up the body of Ron's. She frowned.

Hermione felt bad. They hadn't been intimate in a few weeks; she couldn't even remember the last time she kissed him. And now she was bashing on him every chance she got? Who did she think she was? "Yes?" She asked; closing her book for which she figured would lead to an unlikely proposal, that at which she would not accept.

"We need to talk." He looked serious, and for Ron to be serious, you knew something was up.

"Okay," She reluctantly said, putting her book down. "What's wrong?" Ron looked around at all the other faces in the common room and finally found hers again.

"Not here," He indicated with his head for her to follow him. She did and once they were out in the hallways of Hogwarts and into an empty corridor, Hermione felt an uneasiness settle into the pit of her stomach.

"Ron, what's the matter?" She pressed. "You're scaring me."

"Hermione," Ron took one of her hands. "I've been thinking…"

"Okay," Hermione nodded at him to continue.

"That maybe we need a break from each other." Hermione pulled her hand back from him the minute those words slipped out.

"What?" She asked. Was she hearing right?

"I said," He took in a breath, looking like he didn't want to say it again. "I think that-"

"You're breaking up with me?" She stepped closer to him, anger rising in her.

"For now," He said quietly.

"Oh for now!" She threw her hands up. "Well now that you said that everything's alright!" She hoped she wasn't making a huge fool out of herself but at that moment she didn't care. "Since when did you get to decided Ronald Weasley that we should break up and get back together when you feel like it?" She challenged him. Ron just looked at her sheepishly, afraid to say something. "Well?" She slapped a hand onto the wall, next to his face to block him one way. "I'm waiting?"

"I just think we should spend some time apart!" He pleaded with her. "Things with you have… well…"

"Go on, spit it out!"

"You're just always mad at me and I don't know how to make you happy with me anymore." He confessed. Hermione's face fell. So this was her fault, not just another boy move of being a prick. She pushed herself away from him. He did not want to be with her anymore. How could she have been so stupid and selfish?

"Okay," She whispered, and dropped her arm. She watched as he left her, in the corridor, alone.

Friday: Snape's Classroom- 8:55 PM

Hermione walked in a dazed like fashion to detention. Everything Ron had said to her swirling around in her head. She had a major headache and she was sure if one person started with her she would completely lose it. She didn't even catch the look Malfoy gave her when he swept into the room.

Draco huffed in frustration, as he got no reaction out of Granger. He watched her from his seat. She looked… out of it. I wonder what happened? Not that he cared; he blew off his wonder at why she was so upset. It really should have been no surprise to him with the way she was acting. She was acting like this all week. Probably thanks to partly him. He smiled at himself. His plan was going accordingly. All he wanted to do was make Granger loose her edge some more… and then what? Maybe he needed to rethink this plan? Draco twisted around in his seat, needing to make up for his last failed attempt. "Granger?" He whispered to her, making sure the other few girls in the room didn't hear. She slowly looked over at him, her face still held the same expression on it. "Maybe after detention you and me could go somewhere?" He lifted his eyebrows up a few times, suggestively. Hermione frowned at him and shook her head in confusion.

"What are you playing at?" This took him by surprise, confrontation. Just like when she stared back at him during lunch.

"I-" Snape entered the room and he quickly looked away from her. Shit. He didn't even know what he was going to say to her; for once he was thankful of Snape.

"Are all of you here?" Snape turned around and stared at everyone, just as the last few girls swept into the room. He breathed in an exaggerated breath, "Alright, follow me outside." The girls and Draco got up as their Professor led them out into the warm night air.

Friday: Hogwarts Grounds- 9: 07 PM

"Professor," Ginny called to Snape from behind him, as they all tried to keep up with their teacher. "Where are we going?"

"I told Hagrid that I would be willing to help him carry in some items."

"Items?" Ginny repeated questioningly.

"Need not to know," Snape responded back. Granger and Hermione eyed each other wearily.

"Look Ginny," She whispered to her. "I need to tell you something."

"I'm here!" Lavender Brown quietly said to Ginny, Hermione, and Parvati.

"How'd you know where to find us?" Parvati asked.

"I saw you guys coming out this way." She told them.

"Where've you been?" Lavender flashed a smile at her friend.

"I don't kiss and tell." She winked at them. Parvati grabbed at Lavender's hand, willing for her to continue. "Okay, bloody hell I do!" She giggled. "I was making out with Ron. I think we might be a thing."

"What?" Hermione stopped dead in her tracks along with Ginny. Draco took the time and bumped into the back of her. She threw him a look of annoyance as he passed by them and she returned her gaze to Lavender.

"Well Ron said that he broke up with you." Lavender shrugged beginning to walk again.

"When?" Ginny turned to Hermione, her face falling.

"Like barely an hour ago." She told her friend. "And he's already moved on." Hermione let a tear slip down her cheek. Ginny looked back at the group and began to tug on Hermione's wrist, trying to catch up with them.

"What happened?" Ginny asked her friend.

"I-I it's all my fault!" She threw her hands up to cover her face. "I pushed him away." Her voice muffled from between her hands. Ginny pulled on her friend, continuing her to walk.

"I can't believe he just broke up with you and then made out with Lavender." Ginny shook her head in disgust. "What an asshole!" Not even trying to defend her brother. They descended down the hill to Hagrid's as Hermione continued to shake her head.

"I can't believe this is happening to me." She cried. "This week has been the shittiest week of my life!" Ginny threw an arm around Hermione and rubbed her shoulder.

"It's okay," She tried to soothe her friend. As they reached Hagrid's, who was waiting outside of his house patiently for them, Hermione quickly wiped off the tears on her face.

"Hello Professor Snape," Hagrid greeted him. Snape nodded in return. "Is this being the group of students helping me today?" He looked them over and smiled when he saw Hermione. "Okay! I just need these boxes," He pointed to a load of boxes near him, which looked like they needed two people to carry. "Inside the castle and we will take it from there."

"Once we do this, you are free to go." Snape informed the group. "Take a box with someone else and begin carrying it back up to the castle." Hagrid picked up a box himself and began to haul it up.

"Can't we just use magic?" A younger girl in their House asked.

"Not for these," Snape told her, following Hagrid empty handed as everyone shared a confused look.

"Wanna grab a box with me?" Ginny asked Hermione. Hermione sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

"Just grab one with someone else and I'll get one in a second." Ginny raised an eyebrow at her. "I just need to sit for a second, okay?" Her friend reluctantly agreed and headed for a box. Hermione went over to the steps leading up to Hagrid's house and sat down on them, putting her face in her hands.

Draco watched as all the girls, excluding Granger, grabbed the boxes and begin to head up. Leaving him and Granger to carry none up, as there was a shortage of one box. Looks like I wasted my time for nothing… he eyed her sitting on the steps. Or maybe not…

Draco walked over to her and cleared his throat, he watched as she slowly lifted her head up and noticed immediately that she was crying. He refocused himself. "Looks like we don't have to take in any boxes." He smirked at her. Granger stared at him and then her eyes flickered to the group heading back up. She could barely make out their faces as they descended back up into the school.

"Earth to Granger?" He said, getting her attention back to him. He watched as Hermione's eyes looked him up and down, and he shifted. She met his gaze again. Getting annoyed at her lack of response Draco leaned in closer to her. "You there?" He teased. Hermione reached up and grabbed his shoulder to his surprise, and he flinched. "What are you-" He was instantly cut off by her lips. She grabbed his other shoulder and used them to push herself off from the steps, matching his height. His mind finally clicked as to what was happening and he swiped her arms up, knocking them off and he broke the kiss, staring at her shockingly.

"You wanted me," She breathed, "So have me." And she was on him again in an instant. At first Draco was disgusted. This was Granger after all. His instincts told him to shove her off and hex her into the next century. But the more she tugged at his hair, pulled on his shirt, rubbed up again him, and pushed on the back of his head so their lips were smashed together, his hormones took over. He moaned in pleasure as he felt his eyes go to the back of his head. Before he knew it, Granger began to pull the collar of his shirt, motioning him to walk with her. They pulled back from their kiss, breathing heavily, and looking at each other hungrily.

Merlin! Draco thought to himself. What the hell was happening? And why was he letting it happen? They smashed their lips back together as they tumbled into the Forbidden Forest. Hermione pulled him over to a tree and pressed him into it.

"Need," She mumbled into his mouth. Without any hesitation, Draco began to pull on her clothes, willing them to slip off. And to his amusement she began to pull on his.

Bloody hell! Was he going to regret this later! But he blocked out his conscious as they pulled each other onto the forest ground. His hatred for Granger seeping out of him in that moment as it seemed to disappear into the forest grounds. All he wanted was more from her, the Mudblood herself. Well we will both be bloody and filthy after this. His prejudices leaving his mind. For the moment.

A/N- Thoughts? Predictions? Comments? Review please!

TOM FELTON WEEKEND: Okay, where to start… ah yes, so on Saturday morning we went to Hollywood Palms to see him at seven in the morning. He was visiting two theatres right by where I live for meet and greets. So we waited about seven hours and we were about the ninth people in line so when he came out we got to meet him right away. We couldn't represent him anymore; while we were waiting we were playing Harry Potter UNO that I brought, haha. And anyways when he walked out let me just say he is absolutely the most beautiful man on this earth. Even more attractive in person (and I didn't think that was possible). Seeing him was so surreal. Anyways, I got to spend a lot more time with him because I got two autographs (one for me and the other for my friend) and then a picture. But I was kind of mad because we weren't allowed to ask for a hug so that sucked. I had a conversation with Tom Felton, and I was shaking, and he is so amazing and sweet. I said about seven or eight things to him and him to me (except he said more to me), it's hard to remember because it was such an amazing moment, and thank god he was leading the conversation because I was freaking out at that moment, I kept my cool though, haha. His British accent was adorable. And when it was time to take the picture, I never wanted it to end. We had our arms around each other and I got really close to him, haha. He is so damn sexy. The last thing he said to me was, "Thanks for coming out, lovely" (I know I DIED when he called me lovely) and the only thing I could muster up at that point was, "You too," when I walked away I rethought about it and I was like god I hope that made sense, haha. It was kind of embarrassing though, yet really funny because I let my cousin meet him first and I told her about fifty times to come back and get my purse from me because I didn't want to hold it when I was talking to him. And of course, she starts walking away, so I start calling to her (when I'm right next to Tom) and poking her on the back and she finally turns around and takes it and Tom (oh my god he is so cute and funny) he was like pointing in between us in this moment of action going, "Uh, uh" as if like saying, I don't know how to explain it but he is so adorable, haha.

I then saw him after that many times, I took my friend back just to see him (not meet him) and I had a legit four second eye contact stare with him (it was amazing). Then on Sunday my friend and I went to see him, but we didn't really get a good look at him so we came back later and waited in the back with about only 25 people waiting for him to leave. We were all by his limo. And he walked out and we were very close to him. And I was one of the loudest and I said "I love you, Tom!" about three times (I was the only one that said that, haha). And he waved and blew kisses at us then got in his limo. I am so in love. Oh man, it's bad. We were such fan girls! We were chasing the limo, trying to see where it was going (before Tom was in it). And it was crazy! I keep looking at the autograph he wrote me, To Brittany Love Tom Felton with a heart and an X. I got a bunch of pictures of him those two days. And for the picture of Tom and me, they take it for you so I retook the picture of us on my phone and uploaded it on my computer so you can see the picture of Tom and me on my profile on here, if you want. Tom is such a sweetheart and a major babe. Best weekend of my life. I love him.

There is my rant. I had to say it, he is so amazing, I almost cried when I walked away from when I met him.

And I mentally kissed him for everyone. Cheers!

Brittany
