Hey guys, its me again! I'm SOOO sorry I didn't upload sooner, whenever I tried writing this chapter, it didn't sound right :( plus I've been extra busy with college work and helping my mum around the house. Then there are my idiotic mates to worry about, and my own problems...

Anyway, I'm babbling aren't I? I'll let you read the next chapter :D

Love, peace and Chocolate!

Chapter 14 -=-=-=-=-=- Deadly Foes, Useful Friends

Hermione ran. No-one had ever told her they loved her before, well at least not like that any how. She needed to talk to Ginny, and now!

She ran flustered into the Gryffindor common room, when she saw the faces of her best friends she realised she was crying, but why? Was she happy or was she sad? She didn't know.

"Ginny, can you come for a walk with me?" Hermione uttered between sobs

"Ok, 'Mione, but if he has hurt you in anyway, I'll curse that half troll son of a-"

"Ginny!" Hermione looked at her friend appalled, Ginny never spoke like that, she was too nice.

"Right, yeah." The two walked down to the lake in silence. Ginny spoke first.

"You gonna tell me whats going on, or will I have to hex it out of you?"

"It's a long story Gin." Hermione spoke timidly, not sure what Ginnys reaction would be if she knew the truth behind hers and Draco's relationship.

"Start at the beginning then, and I promise no matter what it is, I wont judge Draco for it." Hermione resisted the urge to tell her she would need to resist the urge to judge the tearstained girl who had a very long tale to tell. Instead, she just told Ginny what happened, from the beginning. How she had loved Ron since they met, the kiss in the Chamber of Secrets during the war (Hermione saw Ginny gag at this bit, not surprising as it was her brother), how the bumbling baboon had broken her heart during the summer, how the plot with Draco formed. She even told Ginny about being forced (though not against her will, it was just too soon for that step) to marry Draco, even about the baby, and her fiancées recent announcement.

"Wow, 'Mione! All that for my brother, you must have really loved him. Plus, you suit being devious, it isn't something you, Hermione Jean Granger, would have deemed to be a likeable trait. Malfoy has rubbed off on you, and vice versa. Here's what the only Weasley daughter has to say on the revenge strategy; Screw Ron, you've had fun, now you should get even. Get Malfoy to make him best man; he'll need to say a speech about how happy he is for you. Then thank him personally at your coronation, thank him for being a prat and breaking your heart, as it gave you the fire you needed to be able to get where you are, and more importantly, make him feel by far inferior when he wants to work at the ministry, give him the shittiest auror jobs you can, leave him stuck filing. The point is Hermione, you have the power to make his life hell, without it looking like you're being a bully. Give him, and everyone who has ever done you wrong, Hell 'Mione, the bastards deserve it. For the cracks, even make Malfoy feel a tiny bit inferior from time to time, to make up for his crude comments about your... ahem.. well, you know what."

"Ginny, remind me to never get on your bad side. I think if you weren't a Weasley, you would have been the only Slytherin to fight on the right side of the war." Hermione smiled at Ginny, seeing the true effect of living as a Weasley slithering past the happy exterior. She was the only girl, not to mention the youngest, which made her a prime target for Fred and George (or Gred and Forge, as some people call them) and their practical jokes. Not to mention she had a lot to live up to, Ron helped save the world, Fred and George scared the most hated teacher ever employed out of Hogwarts with inventions that later became their job (that is until the war sadly parted the twins.) Percy was head boy, and Bill and Charlie, well, Hermione couldn't quite remember what it was exactly that they did. Because of all this, Ginny, although she didn't show it, was constantly angered and upset with her life. Hermione guessed, and quite rightly too, that aiding by helping with her plans, Ginny was executing her own vengeance on her brother.

"This year has been full of surprises, and it isn't even Christmas yet. Huh, Hermione? You wouldn't like to hear something juicy would you?"

"Ooooh, go on then."

"Lavs pregnant, and I heard its Zabinis. I asked a portrait about it, and she said an old General wizard somebody or other saw them coming out of Myrtles bathroom, she was crying, he looked scared. I went and asked Myrtle and she said she saw them standing by the sink but when Lavender started to cry, she floated over and saw the result of that pregnancy thingemy from the Muggle world. She said it read positive. And I heard Ron and Lavender had a fight because he's cheating on her with you, which-"

"My fault, she was being an utter bitch, so me and Draco staged it, I knew she was following me, that manky perfume she wears gave her away, so I pretended I was making out with Ron, I made Draco put his hood up, so she didn't know any better. Don't tell..." Hermione put on a mock puppy dog face at the last bit, and Ginny just burst out laughing.

"Hermione, that is the best thing you've ever heard of! Slytherin cunning, Ravenclaw smarts, Gryffindors courage and Hufflepuffs goddamned loyalty! You in yourself are inter House unity, Dumbledore would e proud of you righ now. I know McGonagall is! Lets go in, it's getting late." And so the two girls headed into the giant castle, giggling over Hermiones ideas at revenge, and gossiping about this and that. When it was time for them to part, they each said goodnight, Ginny saying that she was, and always will be, there for Hermione. Hermione saying she would help with anything her family would need, and o pass the message on to Harry, and their other extremely close friends. On the walk back to the dorm, one thought kept crossing her mind...
