Crabbe And Goyal kept looking at Draco for instructions to do something but they got nothing so continued eating. "You guys have to go"Draco Said after about 5 minuets. "We have to go to Diagon alley for a bit"He said. "How much is a bit?"Blaise Asked. "Well,you know it's Sunday"Hermione Said.A smirk appeared on Pansy's,Theo's,Blaise's,And Astoria's faces. "What're you guys smirking at?"Crabbe Asked. "Nothing" Blaise Said. "Let's go"Pansy Said And they stood up. "Take your chance"Blaise And Theo muttered to Draco on their way out.They Left And Hermione And Draco were alone. "You got jealous didn't you"Draco smirked at her. "Of what?"Hermione Asked. "When Daphne And Tracey Said they'd both marry me and share me"He smirked. "Why would I get jealous?"She Asked as she Walked back to the dining room. "Don't run away from the truth Granger"He said as he pulled her back to him by her wrist. "What Truth Are you looking for?"She Asked. "Ginerva told me the truth I was looking for"Draco Said. Hermione instantly paled. "What did she tell you"Hermione Asked. "She told me everything,What happened in September when weasel accused you of cheating and you got mad at her and what you've been talking about lately"He said.The Truth was Draco didn't know what he was saying but knew that she had told Ginny something. "Now confirm her words"He said. "I don't want to make Ginny look like a Liar" She Said. "Ginny showed me that I actually do like you and I liked you in 3rd year as well,But I didn't want to tell you because I think it's too early for me to get back into a relationship"Hermione Said fast but Draco caught every word. "Let me Tell you something"Draco Said. "Ginerva told me nothing at all,I don't even talk to her"He smirked at her as She blushed deep red. "Asshole"Hermione muttered as she walked away to the dining room.Draco grabbed her hands and twirled her into his arms,Her back against his chest. "You love this asshole"Draco Said,repeating her words from their first day at the lake. "Talk to me,Why do you think it's too early for you to start a relationship"He asked. "I only got out of one last month,Too early"Hermione Said. "I can see right through your lies Hermione"Draco Said. "Your scared of what will happen once we start Dating and you have to tell your friends and what Weasley would say"He said. "Your also scared that I'd cheat on you like he did,And to let you know,I won't. I haven't. Cheated on any of my past 15 Girlfriends.Ask Pansy And Astoria If you need to"He added.That was what she was afraid of. "How...."She didn't know What to say. "I've seen right through your lies for the past 5 years Hermione"Draco Said. "I've also been protecting you for the last 5 years as well"He added.He pulled her to the couch and they sat down. "What do you mean protecting me?"She Asked. "I kept an eye on you in 4th year,and thankfully you were ok.5th year,I had to call you a mudblood because Crabbe And Goyal had become spy's for Voldemort and they thought that I was being to kind around you for not talking to you.If they'd found out anything,they would have told the death eaters,my father being one of them and he would have killed you right there and then.When you told Umbridge Where dumbledore's secret weapon was And she was gonna go to the forest,I suggested to go because I heard her talking to crabbe e And Goyal about how she'd just love to make Potter go mad and by killing you,it would work"He said and sighed. "6th year I had finally managed to make Voldemort forget the idea of kidnaping you and torturing you to make Potter come rescue you.During the War I found out how to make the map Potter had that shows Hogwarts and made one but for safety To check on my mother,My Friends,And you Of course"He said. "During the summer,My Mother Opened up a designing company,And Weaselette was one of the first to sign up for a summer job.I got my mother to ask her about her family and Friends in a friendly way but didn't tell her why I was asking her to do it but promised that I'd tell her soon.Weasley told her that you were Ok and that you were safe,and that was the only thing that mattered"He said. "Then why'd you date Pansy and Astoria?"Hermione Asked. "My Parents pared me up with them,I only agreed cause I thought I'd gotten over you"Draco explained. "What about during my time at the manor?"She Asked. "I took down a bit of the wards on the Manor when they told us that they'd caught Potter and you because I knew the order had to have caught word that you were captured.I tried to put some protection charms on you when my aunt was torturing you but I was too weak.After everything Voldemort had done in my home,After killing a professor that taught here,After every thing,I was broken"He said. "The fact that you risked getting caught and risking your life for me by attempting to put protection Charms says enough"Hermione Said,Leaning in slightly as Draco did the same.The kiss he'd always dreamed of was just about to happen!....when The Portrait interrupted them. "I swear I'm gonna cover them up"Draco grunted. "Cover us and you'll regret it"Godric snapped "we only interrupted because You two have guests"Helena said. "We wouldn't have wished to interrupt unless it was important"Rowena said. "Who is it?" Hermione Asked. "Potter,Weasley,Weasley 2,Brown,Thomas, Finnigan,Lovegood And Longbottom"Salazar said.Draco looked at Hermione. "I survived your friends your gonna have to survive mine"She said to him with a smirk. "Let them in"she said to the portrait.It swung open and they Came in.Draco and Hermione moved away from each other right before they could see them.Lavender clearly didn't want to be there, angrily storming in and sitting at a couch. "This place is trash" She muttered. "This place is better then your house"Draco snapped.Ron Glared at Draco as he put a 'protective' hand on Lavender's shoulder. "I need to go clean the dining room" Hermione muttered quietly to Draco and got up. "Muttering secrets are you"Lavender snapped. "If you want you can go clean the dining room then Lavender!"Hermione snapped at her as she Glared at the Pregnant Girl infront of her. "At least I'm responsible"Hermione Said And Left to the dining room.All Eyes Then turned to Draco,who was half way up,standing. "Keep you and your wife incheck,Weasel,Watch your mouth" Draco snapped at Ron and went to the dining room behind Hermione. "I didn't say anything"Ron muttered. "Shouldn't we be worried that Malfoy's with her alone?"Dean Asked. "Not at all"Ginny said,Who was previous smirking at Draco. "Not at all? He could kill her!"Ron Said. "He hasn't hurt her one bit since the school year started,unlike someone"Ginny said. "How do you know,Maybe he did something and Hermione didn't tell you"Ron Asked. "Malfoy wouldn't do anything to Hermione,I know that for a fact"Ginny snapped. "No one can trust Malfoy,No one,He's dangerous"Ron said. "Sit down and shut it"Hermione snapped at Ron,Hearing every word he just said as she entered the living room.. "You can't tell me you trust him!"Ron Asked in a loud voice. "I do trust him,What are you gonna do about it"She Asked. "How can you trust him! He's a death eater!"Ron Yelled. "If I became a death eater Right now,Would you lose all trust from me!"She Yelled Back And he fell silent. "That's what thought"Hermione muttered and walked into the kitchen. "Her And Malfoy must have become friends these past 2 months"Neville said. "How could she compare her self to That Monster"Ron muttered. "That monster has a bigger heart then you"Said someone at the portrait and saw the Slytherins who had left minutes before but it was Pansy who had spoken. "What're you talking about?"Ron snapped. "He actually cares about the people he loves unlike some.If you really did like Granger you wouldn't have caused her so much misery in your presence"Astoria agreed. "Why are you even here?"Seamus Asked annoyed. "We need a word with the heads"Blaise Said.The Gryffindors were gonna respond when Ginny spoke. "Hermione's on the kitchen and Malfoy's In the dining room"She Said. "We'll see Granger First"Theo Said And they went to the kitchen. "Can we trust 8 Slytherins inthere with her?"Ron snapped at Ginny. "As long as those four are there,she's fine"Ginny snapped back. "Granger,We have news from McGonagall"Astoria Said as they entered the kitchen. "And what's that?"Hermione Asked,Who was currently washing the dishes. "We get to help you plan the Halloween Dance"Pansy Said as she leaned on the counter. "That's great,I need all the help I can get" Hermione Smiled At Her. "What about Draco?"Blaise Asked. "Have you met him?"She Asked. "I guess"Blaise Said. "So when are you going down to Diagon alley?"Theo Asked. "In an hour"Hermione answered,wiping her hands clean. "We'll go get dressed,we'll be back in 40 minuets"Astoria Said. "Want us to take Draco with us?"Pansy Asked. "No I want to torture him a bit,He'll have to sit with them for another half hour"Hermione Smirked. "Already there,are you?"Astoria Asked before the 3 Girls laughed.The Slytherins Left And Draco peaked in the room.
