Ok, people, I had major writers block for about 45748957894 days, so to make it up to you, I've written 5 chapters and I'm updating now.
Please please PLEASE review! It was your reviews that I reread today that made me get up off my lazy ass and write some more.
A couple things before the story –
I still have a couple people asking who Julian is. He WAS Maloy's best friend, but then I realized that I should put an actual character from the book in it to be malfoy's best friend, so I changed it to Miles Bletchley. Sorry if there's any confusion! Hopefully it wont happen again .
Lollylover – Nope I don't think I live in Plymouth. More like upstate NY -
Everyone else – Thank you SO much for your reviews. Makes me feel loved )
Oh yeah and I was stupid and put Dumbledore's letter (in chapter four) in different font, so it came out weird. Here's what it said –
Dear Mr. Draco Malfoy,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been promoted to Headboy of Hogwarts. Along with responsibility, you have a great talent for leading others.
Please meet with me after the feast tonight to talk about your duties as the new Headboy.
Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Now, on with the story. . .
"Hermione's been gone an awful long time. . ." Ron said tactfully. "Maybe you should go check on her."
Not looking up from the chess game that Ron was currently beating him at, Harry shook his head, "Nah, she can fend for herself. I'm sure she's ok."
"It's been nearly twenty minutes and the privies are just down the hall."
"Maybe there was a line."
Ron sighed and gave up. He knew that trying to get Harry to walk in on Hermione and Draco was not exactly the most moral thing to do, but he felt that if his vibe was correct (and they usually were) then Harry had the right to know that the girl he loved was cheating on him.
Just then, Hermione burst into their compartment, beaming. Harry finally wrenched his eyes from the chess game. "Speak of the Devil."
"Harry, Ron, guess what? I got it! I GOT IT!" Hermione cried, her cheeks flushed.
Ron frowned. "Err. . .got what?"
"I'M HEADGIRL!!"
"Hermione, that's great!," Harry said, standing up and grabbing her around the waist and kissing her.
"Yeah, good one, Herms," Ron said, even though he had a feeling that neither of the lip-locked lovebirds had heard him. Sometimes Ron really felt like the oddball out.
"So who's Headboy?" asked Harry, finally ungluing himself from Hermione's face and sitting back down. "Do you know yet?"
Hermione's smiled faded a little. "A certain Slytherin ferret."
Across from them, Ron perked up.
"Malfoy? That little git got Headboy? What's Dumbledore smoking?" exclaimed Harry.
"I know! I was so disappointed when I found out," Hermione sighed. "But I guess I'll just have to try to make the best of it."
"So are you and Malfoy going to be living with each other now?" Ron asked, even though he knew he shouldn't go there.
"Yeah, in private Headboy and girl quarters."
"Uh-huh. And you'll have separate bedrooms?"
"'Course we will, silly. What'd you think we'd being sleeping together?!" Hermione said, before realizing she had said the wrong thing.
"Well, are you, well, attracted to Malfoy in anyway." Ron knew he was being the biggest ass in the wizarding world right now (Harry's Uncle Dursley could still rival him), but he couldn't back down now.
"Oh, my god, Ron! How could you say something like that?" Hermione cried.
Ron stared pointedly at her shaking hands.
That was the last straw. Hermione's eyes filled with tears and she jumped up and rushed from the compartment, slamming the door behind her and shattering the glass.
Harry got up, also and, with a flick of his wand, fixed the broken door before rounding on Ron.
"What the hell is you problem?"
"I was just asking some innocent questions. . ."
"Innocent my ass! It seemed to me as if you think that Hermione is cheating on me with Malfoy," Harry said, as if that was the most preposterous idea.
"Actually, that's exactly what I do think."
"God, Ron! Hermione loves me, and I love her! You of all people should know that!"
And with that, Harry stormed out of the compartment after Hermione, also slamming the door too hard and breaking the glass.
Ron sat still for several minutes realizing what he had done, before getting out his wand and fixing the shattered glass, even though, this time, the glass still a couple cracks in it when he was finished.
Hmmmm, so definitely not my best chapter, but give me a break I'm sick and stressed (
Please review. I'll give you a paperclip - I have the motherload here.
