I AM SO BAD BAD BAD!
Chapter Eight: Forgiven
Hermione made her way through Hogwarts hoping to find Draco, she finally did. He was talking with several other Slytherins.
" Ahem, excuse me but can I borrow Draco?" Hermione said, hating herself as she did so. Draco muttered something to them then stood up and follower Hermione.
" Um.. About earlier." Hermione started, Draco's face remained blank and his arms remained crossed." I really wanted to get Ron mad.. And I didn't want to hear what he said. So um. I was rather rash.. And um." Hermione kept stopping not sure what to say.
Darn you Malfoy, just say something! Hermione couldn't help thinking." Great. I've never been stuck in a situation like this and I have no idea what to say!" Hermione said voicing her last thoughts by mistake.
Something like a grin slid on to Draco's face, but it wasn't his normal grin. This one was less. Malfoyish?
" You know, you may be the smartest girl in the school but your not the brightest." Draco said still grinning. Hermione said nothing but took a step towards him.
" Oh really? Not the brightest.. Then who is?" Hermione dared him, taking a second step closer to Draco who remained leaning against the wall.
" I dunno, not you." Draco said grinning even more.
"Well.. Um... I gotta go.. Go.. Um.. Yea, what the heck." Hermione said leaning in and kissing Draco again. Unfortunately Ron had chosen that exact time to turn down this hall, neither Hermione or Draco noticed him.
" Seriously, will you two find a room?" Ron sneered at them causing them to jump apart.
" Half the time you don't with Lavender, so shut it Ronald." Hermione snapped at him finding herself going bright red.
" I can't believe I liked a mudblood like you." Ron retorted storming off. Hermione walked off in the other direction, leaving a angry Draco leaning against the wall.
*** Gryffindor Common Room. Same day
Hermione was sitting staring in to the fire. It was almost 11pm. She heard the portrait door open and saw Ron walk in. Hermione jumped up grabbed his arm and forced him on to the cough.
" Ronald Weasley we need to talk." She said as he tried to remover his arm from her strong grip.
" Oh yea. About what?" He scoffed, finally calming down.
" There is absolutely nothing between me and Malfoy. Earlier today... When I kissed him, I only did that because I wanted to get you mad... Maybe even jealous. And about this afternoon. Well um, I don't know why the heck I did it. I really don't know," Hermione said trying to look Ron in the eye. Neither of them noticed Harry coming down the stairs from the boys dormitory.
" Oh yea, you randomly go around snogging boys and you don't know why." Ron's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
" Ron listen to me! It won't happen again. Now if you take back calling me a mudblood we can be-" Hermione was cut off suddenly.
" RON CALLED YOU A MUDBLOOD!" Harry shouted pulling his wand out.
" Harry! Quiet before you wake up everyone." Hermione hissed, but the damage was already done. Students began pouring out of the dormitories.
" 'ey ar we havin a partyt or sumfin?" Ginny asked half asleep rubbing her eyes.
" Ron called Hermione a mudblood." Harry responded his wand still drawn and pointed at Ron.
" RON WHAT?!" The whole common room exploded, not before long Samuel Graam and Minerva McGonagall arrived to make everyone go back to bed. Harry worried that Hermione and Ron would never forgive each other after this...
