Hogwarts RPG Name: Sylvannas Quickspeed Sixth | Chapter 14 Harry walked into Hermione's private room.
"Harry!" Hermione cried out, and Harry ran to hug her.
She looked so thin! And there were bags under eyes. My, she looks terrible. Harry thought What did we do to her?
"Hermione, ut's so good to see you. How are you feeling?"
"Oh, awful. They keep performing tests on me, but they say I can get out in a matter of days."
"That's good." Harry said, relieved.
"Are you alone? Did Dumbledore come? Are my parents here?"
"Dumbledore's here, and..."
"And what Harry?" Hermione asked, puzzled.
"..and I missed you so much." Harry covered up, and kissed Hermione. Hermione kissed him back. They broke apart, out of breath.
"Harry...about Draco-"
"Hermione, please, don't talk about him right now."
"But Harry, I need to talk about him! Can't you understand? This is important to me!"
"More important than me? I understand now 'Mione." Harry got up. Hermione pulled him back down.
"Don't be an *ss. Sit back down. You're being oversensitive. I love you Harry. But I'm supposed to marry Draco, and-"
"I see your still calling him 'Draco'."
"Well, yes-"
"And you do realize that he's been calling you names, making fun of you, and trying to get you hurt and in trouble ever since we met him, right?" Harry said coldly.
Hermione's eyes filled with tears. Harry looked away from them.
"I'm sorry Hermione, but if you still want to marry him, then-"
"Who said I want to marry him? You're not being fair Harry!"
"Goodbye Hermione." Harry left the room, leaving Hermione in her tears.
*****
"You're up Malfoy." Harry jerked his thumb towards Hermione's room. Draco could hear her sobs from outside. He glared at Harry, and went in.
*****
Draco walked in on a hysterical Hermione. He ran over to her and put an arm around her. She wrenched herself away.
"Leave me alone. You're the reason Harry hates me." She whispered fiercely. Draco ignored her and held on. Hermione finally stopped struggling, and sobbed into Draco's chest.
"Hermione, what did he say?"
"Only that he thinks your more important than him to me, and I know that he hates me now, and we broke up." Hermione sat up, and hugged Draco.
"Hermione, did he hurt you in any way?"
"No, just verbally. But...I'm so confused. He's confusing me, I'm confusing me, but most importantly, you're confusing me. Harry's right. Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"
Draco hesitated before answering.
"I...I guess becasue you're going to be my wife. I figured that I can't go past my mother and your parents wishes. So I had better start getting used to you. And...I love you Hermione Granger."
Hermione pulled away from him. She eyed him suspiciously.
"You do?"
"Yes I do. At least...I think I do. And I'm usually right because..well, I'm me."
Hermione laughed.
*****
Harry heard Hermione laughing inside, and jealousy grew inside him. Dumbledore held him back.
"Harry, you must leave her alone for awhile."
"But sir, he's in there, with my girlfriend!"
"Oh, is she still your girlfriend? I thought you two weren't going out anymore?"
"No! We're-" Harry trailed off. "Did she say that?"
"I think I heard her say that, but with my poor hearing..." Dumbledore was silent. So was Harry.
"Professor, I think I'm going to leave early."
"Alright. Can you leave by yourself, or do you need me?"
"I can manage."
Harry left, and Dumbledore turned his attention to other matters. Soon, Draco came out, a smile on his face. He stopped short, and looked around.
"Where's Potter?"
"He left when he heard that Hermione and himself were through. Shall we leave? You can come back tomorrow if you wish."
"Thanks Professor."
The two of them left, walking after Harry.
