"Alright, it's time to go" Harry said grabbing his cloak from underneath his bed.
"Finally!" Ron exclaimed, jumping up from where he was sitting on Harry's bed.
"You're going to have to bend down, otherwise our feet are going to show" Harry stated.
"I know Harry, we've done this before remember?" Ron said impatiently.
"I know, I'm just making sure that you remember. When you have your mind set on something you usually forget about everything else" Harry stated.
"Bend down, keep quiet, follow your lead. Now let's go, I'm ready to go and find this book and get Hermione back" Ron stated.
"Alright, then let's go" Harry said as he started to wrap the cloak around the two of them.
"Wait!" Ron exclaimed.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Shouldn't we take the Marauders Map?" Ron asked.
"Good thinking!" Harry exclaimed as he reached back under his bed, grabbed out a trunk, that had all of his hidden treasures inside of it. "I solemnly swear I am up to no good"
Harry opened the map and all the different ink blots representing the students and teachers in the castle started to show up. Ron looked over Harry's shoulders at the map.
"Oi, Hermione's not showing up anywhere on the map.." Ron stated as he scanned the map a second time making sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.
Harry looked at the map trying to pinpoint Hermione, and found that Ron was indeed correct, Hermione was nowhere to be found.
"Malfoy's not showing up either.." Harry stated slowly.
"WHAT!" Ron exclaimed angrily. "I swear if Malfoy did anything to hurt her I will kill him! What if he's taken her somewhere to get her killed off or something?"
"I don't think Malfoy is that stupid.. But I'm not comfortable with the two of them both missing from the map.." Harry stated concerned.
"Well, since they're not on the map that can only mean one thing. They're not on the school grounds.. "Ron said, his eyes narrowing.
"Well then where could they be? It's 9 o'clock, students aren't supposed to be out wandering the corridors right now, and I'm pretty sure that someone would have noticed if they walked right out the front doors" Harry said thinking.
Ron scratched his head in thought. "Wait! Didn't Hermione say something before about the Room of Requirements not showing up on the map either? That when someone is in there, it's like they're disappeared completely?" Ron asked.
"Brilliant!" Harry exclaimed. "So maybe they are still on the school grounds and are just in the Room of Requirement. At least we know where she is."
"That doesn't make me any more comfortable. The fact is, is that she is still with Malfoy.." Ron hissed angrily, his face going red.
"Well if they are in the Room of Requirement, that means we aren't going to get in. They've made it so it's a place that only they can get to, and I would have no idea as to where to start and guess what they've chosen as their hide out. And I guarantee it was Malfoy's idea to meet up there… Of course!" Harry exclaimed smacking his palm against his forehead.
"What?!" Ron asked confused.
"That must have been who sent Hermione the letter at dinner. It was Malfoy's owl! No wonder I didn't recognize it. He was probably asking her to meet up with him through note because he knows that we are always at Hermione's side and he would never get the chance to come and ask her in person" Harry said fitting all of the pieces of the puzzle together.
"That sneaky bastard.." Ron said clenching his knuckles together.

"Wait, before we start we should each take some Veritaserum" Hermione said riffling through the bag she had brought.
"You carry Veritaserum around with you?" Draco asked perplexed.
"You never know when it may come in handy. Oh here it is!" Hermione said as she grabbed a tiny tube of clear liquid.
"How the hell did you get some? It's not allowed to be used on students, and we haven't ever made it in class" Draco said staring at the tube.
"I like to test myself in extracurricular activities. I made this potion for fun to see if I could do it. Plus, like I said, you never know when it may come in handy" Hermione said smiling.
"I don't believe you made that on your spare time. You really are a nerd" Draco said shaking his head in disbelief.
Hermione narrowed her eyes at him.
Draco put his hands up in defeat "Hey, I was just saying."
"Whatever. Take a swig of it, and then I will" Hermione said handing him the tube.
"How do I know it won't kill me?" Draco asked nervously.
"Oh hell, you big baby. Here I'll take it first" Hermione said putting the tube to her lips, and taking a sip.
Draco sat and watched Hermione for a minute before asking "Did it work?"
"Of course it did" Hermione said confidently.
"Prove it" Draco said.
"How?" Hermione asked confused.
"Let me ask you a question. Ummm.. are you a virgin?" Draco asked, a smirk appearing on his pale face.
"Yes" Hermione answered. She then covered her mouth with her hands and her face went bright red in embarrassment.
Draco's eyes widened in shock. He always knew that Hermione was a goody good, but he had assumed that she had slept with Viktor, or even Ron for that matter.
"Wow Granger. You really are the innocent Golden Girl of Gryffindor" Draco said smirking at her.
"Shut up Draco" Hermione said angrily.
"What, is the virgin a little uptight?" Draco asked letting out a small laugh at his clever use of words.
"No" Hermione said, her teeth clenched angrily.
Draco just looked at her and smirked cockily, making no comment.
"Take the damn Veritaserum" Hemione said as she handed it to him roughly.
Draco was debating on whether or not to just get up and leave. If he was going to be honest, he was afraid to see what kind of things Hermione was going to ask him. He was not the type of person to share things about his life, he had some things that he was not proud of, and preferred to keep it a secret. But, if he was going to win Hermione over and have her trust him, he knew he had to suck it up and go along with it.
"Ah, fuck it" Draco said as he drank the remaining serum.
"You actually drank it" Hermione said shocked. "I didn't think you were going to."
"Well I didn't exactly want to" Draco snapped angrily.
"Why not?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Because there are things that people don't need to know about me, and I would rather keep it that way" Draco said narrowing his eyes at his own honesty.
"Well then why did you drink it?" Hermione asked confused.
"I don't know" Draco stated.
"Okay…" Hermione said slowly.
"Ask me a damn question" Draco said angrily.
"Ummm.. okay. What's your favourite colour?" Hermione asked.
"Green" Draco responded right away.
"Your turn" Hermione said.
"So we switch off after every question?" Draco asked.
"Yes" Hermione stated.
"Okay. Why do you hang out with Potter and Weasel? What makes them so damn special?" Draco asked, hate evident in his voice.
"Harry is an extremely loyal friend, and always puts everyone else's feelings above his own, regardless of what he is going through. He has a big heart, and is a very caring individual. Ron is a good friend, and he's fun to be around. He's constantly making everybody laugh, and is good at making jokes and cracking people up in awkward situations, although he can be an ass sometimes. But, they have both been there for me through everything and we have each other's backs. I don't know where I would be without them" Hermione said smiling as she talked about her friends.
Draco snorted and said "Sometimes? Weasel is always an ass."
Hermione laughed and shook her head at Draco. "Maybe to you. Anyways, how can you associate yourself with people like Pansy? She just seems clingy and utterly annoying."
Draco smirked and said "She is clingy and annoying, but she's Pureblood, and that's who my father told me to associate with. Our families have been close friends since birth, so it was just assumed that we would always stick together, and potentially date. Blaise is different, he is a Pureblood yes, but he doesn't exactly believe in all the same stuff as us. I say he's going soft. But he's been a good friend of mine for as long as I can remember and he has always had my back."
"Why do you hate Harry and Ron so much?" Hermione asked curiously. This is something she had always wanted to know.
Draco narrowed his eyes at her, hating her for asking this question. "Simple. Potter was famous since the day he was born, he didn't even grow up around magic, yet everyone already assumed great things from him, and held him up on some high pedestal for the world to admire. I tried befriending him our first day of school on the stairs, and he shot me down in front of the entire school. Me, Draco Malfoy, a Pureblood. My father had always told me that everyone should feel honoured to have a Malfoy as a friend, and yet Potter didn't want it. And to top it off, everything he did, he was known as a hero. He didn't even have to do anything and yet people everywhere still loved him, and wanted to be his friend. And then you had Weasel, who was lower class than me, and was poor, and yet Potter befriended him in an instant. Just because of my last name he judged me and gave me looks that made him think that he was better than me. The dude is dumber than a rock, and yet he is still worshipped and thought of as a hero because you guys are the 'Golden Trio' who can do no wrong, and are out saving the world with every move you make. It made me sick how everyone pretty much worshipped the ground you all walked on. I get better grades then both of them, and yet I don't get recognized for anything but being a Death Eaters son."
Hermione looked at Draco silently, thinking to herself.
"Oh stop looking at me like that Granger, I don't need a damn pity party" Draco snapped looking away from her.
"I wasn't pitying you Malfoy, I was just thinking about how you make yourself out to seem like some awful, horrible person, when deep down you're not" Hermione said softly.
"I don't care what you think, I am not some nice person who is all caring and crap like the famous Potter. Malfoy's don't have feelings, nor do they care about anyone but themselves" Draco stated looking directly at her.
"I don't believe that" Hermione said looking at him.
"Well believe it, because it's the truth" Draco stated simply.
"Whatever you say Malfoy" Hermione said sadly.
Draco ignored her last comment and asked "How many guys have you kissed?"
"Three" Hermione answered.
Draco was intrigued. "Obviously one of them was Viktor, I'm assuming one of them was probably the Weasel, but who was the third, Potter?"
"No, I never kissed Harry. He is too much like a brother to me" Hermione said.
"Who was the third guy?" Draco asked impatiently.
"Cedric" Hermione said quietly.
"Diggory?!" Draco exclaimed shocked.
"Yes" Hermione said sadly.
"Does Potter or Weasley know?" Draco asked, his interested spiked.
"No. I never told anyone except Ginny" Hermione said with a small smile.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Ron was never overly thrilled when I was dating someone. We would end up fighting a lot more than usual, and I just didn't feel the need to share it with them. Plus, it's not like it had time to go anywhere anyways because of everything that happened.." Hermione said her voice cracking.
"You were in love with him" Draco stated, figuring out the truth.
Hermione nodded her head as a single tear ran down her cheek.
"I didn't even know the two of you knew each other all that well.." Draco said slowly.
"No one did" Hermione said smiling softly. "It was our little secret."
"How did you guys meet?" Draco asked softly.
"I meet him in Hogsmeade. We were both in the book store, and I was completely absorbed in the book I was reading, and I ended up tripping over top of him as I was making my way to the front desk to pay. I ended up sprawled out on the floor, and heard someone muttering apologies to me like they were coming out of style. I looked up, and Cedric was looking down at me, and I remember I lost all train of thought because he had the most beautiful grey eyes I had ever seen, and I found myself lost in them. I then ended up back in reality when he placed his hand on the side of my face and asked me if I was alright. I went bright red and muttered my apologies telling him I needed to pay more attention to where I was going, and that I shouldn't have been reading while walking. We both ended up laughing about the situation, and that's when he recognized me and said 'You're Hermione Granger aren't you?' I was so shocked that he even knew who I was. I remember saying 'Yes I am, how did you know?' And he responded by saying 'The brightest witch to ever come to Hogwarts, and a beautiful girl. Beauty and brains, how would I not know you?' And from there I was hooked. We ended up hanging out, and I fell in love with him quickly. He would take me out on dates, and we would sneak off and run into a classroom together and make out when no one was looking. And then he got chosen for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. He knew that him entering all of those challenges was going to be hard, and he thought the best thing to do was to end our relationship while he still had the chance to. So we did. It was the hardest thing for both of us to do, but he thought it was for the best, and I understood and respected his decision. So for the Yule Ball, he ended up asking Cho Chang, and I got asked by Viktor Krum, and he told me to go with him, that it was good for me. So I did. Watching another woman in the arms of the man I so badly wanted to be with was horrible. Cedric caught me as I was walking off the dance floor and told me that I was the most beautiful girl in the room, and that he was going to win the Tri-Wizard Tournament for me, and that once he was done, we would tell everyone about us, and then we could finally be together openly. You know the rest" Hermione said sadly looking down at her hands that were now clasped together.
Before Draco could process what he was doing, he leaned forward and grabbed Hermione's hands in his and said "I am so sorry for your loss."
Hermione looked up at him and smiled with tears in her eyes and said "Thank you."
"You haven't dated anyone since him have you?" Draco asked.
"No" Hermione said.
"Diggory would want you to be happy" Draco stated softly, still holding her hands.
Hermione smiled and said "I know."
Draco decided at that moment that he was not going to play with Hermione's feelings. He was a cruel person, and he would admit it, but he would not put the girl through something like that again. He also realized that he liked being in her company, and found that she was easy to talk to, and that he actually felt better talking to her about some of the things he had pent up inside of him. He would never tell anyone about the stuff that she had just told him, it was not his secret to tell, just like he was sure she wouldn't tell anyone anything he had told her.
He also decided that from that day forward, he was going to be a little bit nicer to the girl who was now sitting in front of him.
