Recap

"One thing before I leave...can you tell me one thing?"

Hermione tilted her head to the side, "What is it?"

"You and Blaise...are you...were you..."

Hermione's eyes widened and she blushed, "W-Well..."

End Recap

"Well?" Harry asked.

"W-Why does it matter to you what he was?" Hermione blurted out.

Harry felt anger surge through him, "Well, I want to know if my best friend was shagging some bloke and not telling me...some friend."

Hermione gave Harry a look, as though he grew three heads, "You've got to be joking...Harry you're an idiot you know that? I'll say this once and only once. I loved you. That's why I help you with your girl problems. But right now, I'm slowly starting to hate you. No I wasn't 'shagging some bloke'...Blaise helped me when I was feeling down because you kept breaking my heart. He's a friend Harry. Nothing more. Now get out."

Hermione forcefully pushed Harry out of her flat and slammed the door. Harry punched the oak door hard, "Dammit." he whispered. "Why the hell do I keep screwing everything up?"

He left, unaware that Hermione had listened to what he had said.

"Harry...if only you knew..."

The Next Day

"Mornin' Ms. Granger!"

"Morning Hal. How are you this fine morning?"

"Pretty well Mr. Granger thank you kindly for asking. I better be heading to the kitchen."

"Alright, see you later Hal." Hermione went into the women's changing room and changed into her uniform. The door opens and her red haired friend entered. "Hey Gin!"

" 'Ello Hermy!" Ginny grinned brightly.

"Ok. You're WAY too happy this morning...something must've happened with Draco!" Her gaze went from her friend's smiling face to her left hand. And, lo and behold, there it is. "HE PROPOSED!"

Ginny nodded her head, "He did! Last night."

"Tell me EVERYTHING."

Ginny blushed, "Er...EVERYTHING everything?"

Hermione gaped at her friend, "You're not...you didn't...you two..." she blabbered.

Ginny gave her a confirming nod.

"Merlin's Beard Gin!" Hermione shrieked. "My best friend's growing up so fast!" Hermione grabbed the red head into a bear hug. "Congrats Gin. I'm so SO happy for you two."

Ginny returned the hug, "Thanks Hermy...be my maid of honor?"

Hermione pulled away and gave Ginny a huge grin, "I'd love to. Come on. Let's get dressed so I can give Mr. Malfoy a congratulatory hug."

They giggled and changed. When they got out they saw the boys had arrived and changed into their uniforms.

"Oi. You two take long to get dressed." Draco smirked.

Ginny pouted and Hermione grinned, "Well Mr. Malfoy I should say congrats...and about time!" she gave his arm a smack.

"Hey! That hurts you know. Honestly woman you need to learn how to control your strength!" Draco grinned back at his friend.

"Yeah what ever...you better make her happy Draco...or else you won't be able to produce little blonde haired babies...that's a promise." she said in a cold, threatening tone.

Draco shivered in fear, "O-Of course! Why would I want to hurt the one I love the most?"

Ginny smiled and hugged her fiance and Hermione nodded approvingly, "Good. Now. Let's get to work!"

"Will you be ok Love?" Blaise asked. "How's your ankle?"

"I'm fine Blaise. Potions remember?"

Blaise smacked himself on the forehead, "Obviously. (A/N: I totally typed this up and heard it in Alan Rickman's voice xD) Come on then. We got some work to do."

Harry looked on with angered, jealous eyes, "Jealous? I'm not jealous..."

"De Nile isn't just a river in Egypt!" Ginny whispered, making Harry jump.

"Bloody hell Ginny...you scared me." Harry said, holding his chest. "How in the world...it's like she read my mind."

"You're so predictable Harry. It's obvious you're thinking about Hermione and Blaise...you really shouldn't worry though..."

"Oh? And why's that?" Harry glared at her.

"No need for that glare...He's taken, duh. He and Hermione have a brother/sister relationship."

"Taken? As in...he has a girl?"

"Boys." Ginny huffed, "Yes stupid...Blaise has a girl."

"Ok fine...but Hermione's still mad at me..."

"I would be too! After what you said to her. After all the things she did for you and for what? To be left heartbroken and alone to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart? To have the one she loves the most tell her that he didn't need her in his life anymore? Hermione loves you. She's stubborn yes..but you need to convince her more. You know? And you need to STOP being in denial and TELL yourself that you love her!"

"I don't..." Ginny glared at him, looking really close to Molly.

"Harry James Potter." She said through her teeth.

Harry sighed, "I don't know Gin. I just..."

Ginny hit him on the head, "You idiot. Close your eyes and look into your heart."

"What are you...?"

"JUST DO IT!" she ordered.

"Fine!" Harry did what he was told.

"Now. I'm going to ask you questions and you tell me the first person who pops into your head ok?"

"Alright." Harry said.

"Who's always there for you no matter what?"

"Hermione."

Ginny nodded her head, "Who makes you feel happy whenever you see them smile or whenever you're near them?"

"Hermione." Harry smiled.

"Who make you smile?"

"Hermione." Harry's smile grew.

"Who do you want to have in your life forever?"

Hermione."

"Who do you love?"

"Hermione..." Harry's eyes fluttered open to see Ginny smirking at him. His eyes widened when he finally understood what he had been feeling...jealousy of Blaise, anger towards himself for letting her go, for hurting her, and longing and love for his bushy haired friend. "I...I love Hermione..."
