Love Doesn't Lie (A Dramione Love Story)

Chapter 57

‘So I heard you and Draco are back together?’ Harry said as Hermione sat down for dinner.
‘Ginny!’ Hermione said giving her friend who was sitting across the table a deadly glare.
‘It’s Harry!’ Ginny defended.
Hermione shook her head and sighed.
‘Yes we’re back together.’ Hermione said.
‘Why didn’t you tell us?’ Harry asked.
‘Tell us what?’ Ron asked sitting down next to Hermione.
‘That Hermione and Draco are back together.’ Ginny said.
‘What?’ Ron said.
‘GIN!’ Hermione said.
‘It’s Ron!’ Ginny said.
‘Geez.’
‘Back together, since when? I thought you said you didn’t like him like that.’ Ron said.
‘That was a lie, because I wanted to keep it a’ Hermione looked over to Ginny. ‘secret.’
‘Sorry.’ Ginny said taking some mashed potatoes on her fork.
‘Sure.’ Hermione sighed.
‘Why did you want to keep your relationship a secret?’ Harry asked.
‘Because I’m scared something will go wrong or someone will be in danger when everyone knows.’ Hermione said.
‘Why? Why would there go something wrong? Parkinson is not even nearby.’ Harry said.
‘My gut’s just telling me it’s not smart to tell everyone.’ Hermione said.
‘We’re your best friends Hermione, you should’ve told us.’ Ron said.
‘I know, but fear is a powerful thing.’ Hermione said.
Harry nodded.
‘Difficult situation you were in.’ Harry said.
‘Are in.’ Hermione said.
‘But aren’t you keeping it a secret because you’re scared to be in a relationship with Draco?’ Ginny asked.
‘No, no, absolutely not. It has been amazing the past weeks.’ Hermione said.
‘Have you….’ Ginny said not finishing her sentence and doing an eyebrow wiggle.
‘Yes.’ Hermione said.
‘Girls! Seriously, why always when we’re trying to eat!’ Harry said.
Hermione and Ginny chuckled.
‘So, what now?’ Ginny asked.
‘Well if you stopped telling everybody that we’re together then nothing.’ Hermione said.
‘Are you serious?’ Ginny asked.
‘How long are you planning to keep it a secret? Because it can’t last forever you know.’ Ginny said.
‘I know.’ Hermione sighed.
‘There is always danger, there is danger around every corner, but why would that keep you from living your life with him in the open?’ Ginny asked.
‘I sounds kind of stupid, doesn’t it?’ Hermione asked.
‘You think?’
Hermione bit her lip.
‘It’s up to you and him, but I’m just telling you, you’re living a lie when you’re keeping this a secret.’ Ginny said.
Hermione sighed and nodded.
‘I’ll think about it.’ she said.
‘And how do you think Draco feels?’ Ginny asked.
‘Ginny.’ Harry warned.
‘What? It’s true.’ Ginny said.
‘Don’t push it.’ Harry said.
Ginny nodded.
‘I get that you’re mad.’ Hermione said.
‘And it’s okay.’ she added.
‘Okay? You lied to us.’ Ginny said.
‘Right to our faces! How do you think we feel?’ Ginny said.
‘I know and I’m sorry.’ Hermione said.
Ginny shook her head.
‘I’m going to bed.’ she said getting up.
‘Ginny.’ Hermione said, but Ginny didn’t listen and she walked out of the Great Hall.
Hermione placed her face in her hands and she felt a hand being placed on her back.
‘She’ll turn around.’ she heard Ron say.
‘I don’t know.’ Hermione sighed.
‘Ginny can’t stay mad for a long time, so don’t worry.’ Harry said.
Hermione nodded looking up at them.
‘Aren’t you mad?’ she asked them.
Harry shook his head.
‘No, I understand the way you’re thinking.’ Harry said.
‘Ginny is just hurt that you didn’t tell her.’ Harry said.
Hermione nodded.
‘Like Ron said, she’ll turn around.’ Harry said.
Ron nodded.
‘I hope so.’ Hermione said.
‘Of course she will, you’re best friends, practically sisters.’ Ron said.
Hermione gave him a small smile.
‘I’ll talk to her.’ Harry said.
‘Thank you.’ Hermione said.
‘Don’t worry about it, it’ll be okay.’ Harry said.
‘But you’ve got to think about what Ginny said though. She’s right.’ Ron said.
‘If you’re not comfortable to let people know you’re in a relationship with Draco. What kind of relationship would that be?’ Ron said.
Hermione nodded.
‘Since when are you on his side?’ Hermione asked smirking.
‘I just want you to be happy.’ Ron shrugged.
Hermione smiled at him.
‘Thank you, both of you.’ Hermione said.
‘That’s what friends are for.’ Harry said.
