A/N I've had so much free time on my hands (for college days) so here's the next chapter enjoy ^.^
Notice the AVPM reference, everyone who's seen it should know it is pretty obvious =P
Hermione woke in the morning and found Lavender Brown staring down at her. "What do you want?" Hermione hissed.
"Why are you here?" Lavender replied coldly.
"Answer my question and I'll answer yours." Hermione hissed.
"You were asleep I waited for you to wake up, password is 'Pigfarts'." Lavender informed her.
"Charming." Hermione grimaced. "And I'm here because I didn't know the password and I came up alone." Hermione replied standing. She turned her back on Lavender. "Pigfarts." Hermione announced. The fat lady portrait swung open allowing her to access the room. "Where have you been?" Ron asked as Hermione walked over to Harry, Ron, Ginny and Neville.
"Outside the common room because I didn't know the password." Hermione replied callously. Ginny looked at Hermione in surprise, never had she been so cold with Ron. "Let's go down for breakfast?" Ron suggested a little taken aback. "Why don't you go with Lavender?" Hermione asked lightly before turning on her heel and going up to her dormitory to change.
Hermione changed quickly but slumped on her bed and lay back against her pillows. She didn't want to go through with this day. She thought for a moment before she heard a light knock on the dorm door. "Come in." She muttered, knowing it would be Ginny. Ginny entered quietly and went to Hermione giving her a questioning look. "I saw Ron kissing Lavender and talking about when he was going to dump me." Hermione said before Ginny could speak. Ginny lowered her gaze guiltily.
"You should dump him first. He's been doing this for a month." Hermione froze.
"You knew he was cheating on me?" Hermione screeched.
"Ah. . ." Ginny said slowly.
"You knew!" Hermione repeated harshly.
"Yes I did know but I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to upset you." Ginny said before Hermione could start sending accusations. Hermione turned and glared at Ginny, "Harry knew too?" She guessed. Ginny nodded slightly. Hermione threw her hands in the air in exasperation. "Great to know I have some amazing friends. Who else knows?" Hermione snarled.
"Just me and Harry." Ginny said quietly. Hermione glared at Ginny before walking out without a word. Harry was waiting at the bottom of the stairs giving Ron an 'I told you so' look. He then turned to look at Hermione sympathetically. "Don't give me that." Hermione spat at Harry before storming out of the common room and leaving swiftly.
When Hermione reached the Great Hall she went over to the Ravenclaw table and sat with Luna quietly. "What's the matter Hermione?" Luna asked her eyes wide in curiosity.
"Ron's been cheating on me. . . With Lavender Brown." Hermione wailed looking at Luna with tears in her eyes. "Oh my; that is awful." Luna said sending a comforting arm around Hermione. Hermione looked to the entrance and saw Harry, Ron and Ginny entering, quickly she ducked down under the table and hid. "Hermione. . ." Luna began.
"Shhh." Hermione hissed hiding. Luna quietened down obediently. There was a few moments silence as Hermione hid and Harry, Ron and Ginny took their seats. "They're sat down." Luna said softly, guessing Hermione's motives. Hermione sighed in relief and slipped back into the seat. "Ginny and Harry knew too and didn't tell me." Hermione said trying not to cry.
"That's nasty." Luna said airily. "Does Neville know?"
"No." Hermione sniffed.
"I'll tell him later." Luna offered and Hermione nodded slightly. Hermione glanced over to the Gryffindor table and saw Harry, Ron and Ginny watching her. Ron looked confused and Harry and Ginny looked sympathetic. Hermione then saw Professor McGonagall wandering along the table handing out timetables. "I'm going to get my timetable and go." Hermione murmured before going over to McGonagall. "Here's your timetable, Miss Granger." McGonagall said handing Hermione her timetable. "Thanks." Hermione murmured taking it. "She glanced down and saw she had potions first. Turning Hermione walked out of the Great Hall.
Hermione made her way to the dungeons and slumped against the wall. "Granger, you look rather upset." Draco drawled as he approached. A smug smile forming.
"Do you blame me? I'm going to break up with my boyfriend tonight of course I'll be upset." Hermione snapped. "Oh sorry Granger." Draco said boredly. Hermione sighed and closed her eyes. "Hermione!" Ron cried approaching her quickly, Harry close behind.
"Go away Ron." Hermione hissed.
"Hermione what's the matter?"
"Go away! I don't want to talk to you or even look at you!" She hissed.
"Hermione." Ron pleaded.
"Granger said go away." Malfoy drawled lazily, enjoying the argument between the two.
"Stay out of it Malfoy." Ron snapped. "This is between me and my girlfriend."
"Ex." Hermione snapped. Ron froze and Harry looked at Hermione in shock, Draco doing the same. "Thank you Malfoy." Hermione said lightly. Harry's jaw dropped and Draco looked at her in disbelief. "Welcome year eights." Slughorn greeted cheerfully to the small group being to gather. "Enter, enter." Slughorn continued. Draco walked past Slughorn and Hermione followed. Draco took a seat at the back and Hermione, hesitantly, followed. "Can I sit with you?" Hermione asked. "It'd be nice to sit as far away from Harry and Ron as possible and I'd know if I sat with you I'd get that." Hermione murmured. Draco looked at her and nodded. Hermione was surprised at his kindness but sat beside him gratefully. "Thanks." She said.
"Not a problem." Draco replied lightly, feeling a slight thrill at having Hermione sat with him. Harry and Ron entered and the pair looked at Hermione and Draco – who were chatting quietly – in shock.
