Chapter 5

Draco was waiting outside of Honeydukes. 'Where is she?' He thought. Then he saw Hermione walking over. A smile appeared on both their faces.

"Draco!" She shouted as joy spread over her. She forgot the rest of the plan and ran up and kissed him. Draco taken by surprised, didn't know how to react.

"What happened to 'let's not snog in public'?" He whispered once she pulled away. She shrugged and smiled. Draco opened the door and escorted her inside. Hermione and Draco walked out of Honeydukes a few minutes later eating the sweets they just bought.
"Butterbeers at the Three Broomsticks on me," Hermione told Draco, "and don't even try arguing." Draco smiled and grabbed her hand.

They walked into the and saw Ron sitting by himself with several empty bottles. Hermione felt guilty, in a way she never had felt before. Hermione walked up to Ron as Draco went to find a table.

"Why are you sitting by yourself?" She demanded. Draco motioned for her to come over but she ignored it.

"Harry went somewhere with Cho, I don't want to be with Ginny and Dean," he gestured over to a table where the two were snogging, "and your with him." He finished another butterbeer.

"Well I didn't know that Harry was going to meet up with Cho! I did know that you were ditching me though."

"You think I am ditching you!?" Hermione shouted, " your the one who'd rather sit and feel sorry for himself! You this every time I mention Victor!"

"Victor this, Victor that!" Ron said standing up. "Now it's gonna be Draco this, Draco that!" She could smell the butterbeer on his breath.

"Ron," she said calmly, " you have too many butterbeers. Go back to Hogwarts and get some rest."

"Don't suddenly start acting like you care! You don't care about me anymore! You never even mentioned to me you liked him! I thought we were friends!" Draco got up when he saw the look on Hermione's face. Ron always knew what to say to hurt her."Hermione," Ron started once he realized what he said. "I'm sorry... I dint mean that." Tears stung at the back of Hermione's eyes as Draco put an arm around her.

"Let's go somewhere else." Draco escorted her out as she began to cry.

"How could he say that she sobbed once they were out of the Three Broomsticks
