Hi Guys,
As promised, voilà a new chapter before the end of the weekend! It's slightly shorter than anticipated...I have to admit I made it into two parts with the one that comes next.
Thank you thank you thank you to each person who took the time to review!!!!
Reviews make my heart sing :-) Seriously, it's super motivating.
I know my grammar is probably cringe-worthy and I mix up tenses a lot. If anyone is interested in beta-ing please let me know! I'm pretty sure where I wanna go with this fic but could definitely use a hand to touch up the story as we get there.
Enjoy reading :-)

Chapter 8: Rumours
Time goes by and so comes the first winter’s snow. It was a cold but sunny Saturday morning, and Hermione was looking forward to her weekly trip to Hogsmeade. Maybe she could finally find that book about memory spells she had been looking for in Tomes and Scrolls the past couple of weekends. Although she rarely spoke of them, her parents were often on her mind and she still had a faint glimmer of hope that one day she would be able to right her wrongs with them.
Whilst Hermione was getting her thick red jumper on in front of the mirror in her room, she saw Ginny come through the doorway.
“Hi Hermione, I just heard that Ron has got himself detention all day today.”
“Oh no” Hermione began, disappointed that her boyfriend wouldn’t be able to join them.
“What did he do now?” she said, rolling her eyes with a smile towards her friend.
“I…don’t really know.” Ginny replied. What was that in her voice? Hermione was sure she felt some hesitation in the redhead’s words. Almost as if Ginny picked up on Hermione’s suspicion, she added, “um, it’s with Professor Trelawney.”
Hermione looked at her with big eyes. She was very surprised. Seeing as that specific teacher was hardly the kind to give punishments to students, Hermione started wondering even more than before about the reasons.
“She never gives out detention!” she exclaimed “Are you sure you don’t know anything?”
Ginny just shook her head and turned away from her friend to brush her hair.
Hermione thought it was weird, but she supposed she might be overreacting.
Oh well, she figured that she wouldn’t let that ruin her day. It didn’t actually bother her that much that Ron wouldn’t be with them. And weirdly enough, at the same time, she wondered where a certain Slytherin might be that day. How odd.
“Well, never mind, let’s do a girls day in Hogsmeade, what do you say Ginny… how about you, Parvati?” Hermione added whilst heading down the stairs to the common room. “Hey where’s Lav’?” she said, scanning the common room.
Sean, who was passing by overheard and said:
“She’s in detention with Weasley, for shocking Trelawney, poor old gal”. He said with a snicker and went off out the common room before Hermione could call after him.
“What was that all about?” she questioned. Something fishy was going on and she felt like her friends were hiding something from her.
When neither Ginny nor Parvati said anything, Hermione knew her friends were holding whatever information they had from her. This made her very angry, she felt like she was the butt of a joke she had yet to understand! How could they? Did loyalty mean nothing to them? Clearly overcome with the frustration in that very moment, Hermione cut the silence with a huff and stormed out of the Gryffindor tower. Without thinking she powerwalked her way down out of the school to the very edge of the grounds by the forbidden forest, too upset to even notice her surroundings. The snow went up mid-shin and it was turning out to be a hell of a work out keeping up the pace she had started with. She walked like that a couple of minutes, but as much as she felt her muscle scream at her to stop her anger didn’t grow any weaker. After a couple of minutes, she heard a whoosh noise from above and all of a sudden, Draco Malfoy landed with his broom next to her. He was wearing a long black coat and had a warm scarf around his neck. He had been flying, so his nose and cheeks were pink and his hair was all over the place.
“Granger, a bit nippy for a run, wouldn’t you say?” he asked playfully, having to trot a bit to keep up with her pace.
Hermione, who was too filled with anger just replied.
“I’m not running” her voice seething with rage.
“Well,” he started in his usual Malfoy tone “You’re walking bloody fast - ”
“Do you know what’s going on with Ronald and Lavender?” she blurted out looking at him for the first time and stopping dead in her tracks for the first time.
The question startled Draco who only stopped a couple of steps later. He came back towards her cautiously as he looked at her for a second. He wasn’t sure if she was going to pelt him or start crying.
“The last rumour I heard was that Trelawney caught the weasel going down on Lavender in her class after hours.”
With that Hermione’s jaw fell open. She couldn’t believe what he had just said. Although…
Draco stared into her big shocked eyes.
“They’re probably just rumours, Granger, - ” he started saying, to reassure her. If Hermione could read minds at that point and time, she would have seen that the blond was feeling extremely pissed off – even more so than usual – at that useless redhead git she called boyfriend. All he could do was make her feel like shite-
“Why’d you tell me?” she said, interrupting his chain of thought.
“What do you mean, I-”
“You’re telling me the truth.” She stated. Or did she ask?
“Well, honestly, I wasn’t there, I don’t know the truth, but-”
“Why?”
“Why?”
“Why are you telling me the truth?”
“I don’t want to lie to you.” He stated matter-of-factly.
Her voice regained in anger as she said
“Why is it, none of my friends tell me, and you - ”
“I already told you Granger, I’m not one of those friends.” He said with a smirk, clearly very happy with himself for that comeback.
With that, something lit up in Hermione’s eyes. She took a step forward, grabbed hold of Draco’s scarf and pulled on it bringing his face closer. She bit on her lip for just a second before she dove into a passionate kiss.
Saying Draco was surprised was the understatement of the year. She hadn’t given him the time for any sort of reaction, her lips were already on his. But once his initial surprise let way he realized just how soft and warm said lips were. He then embraced her intrusion by opening his mouth, gaining her access to his tongue. She tasted divine, even better than what he had expected. She had eaten an apple recently and he could still taste its sweetness on her soft breath. He slowly let go of his broom and brought both arms around her waist scooting her closer to him. She moaned softly in his mouth. That simple sound quickly triggered a reaction as Draco felt himself growing hard and thanked Merlin for all the clothes between the two of them. Otherwise, he didn’t know what he would have done. Come to think of it, being kissed like this, by this sexy witch, he might not even care for all the layers dividing them or the cold winter air surrounding them.
Hermione’s hands left his scarf and went to the back of his neck and toyed with his hair. She tugged at it passionately, clearly demonstrating her want for him. For just a moment, Hermione’s mind wasn’t working a mile a minute, she was completely in the moment, letting go in a way she had never before been able to. With that Draco backed her up to the nearest tree. He pushed up against her with his whole body so even with all the layers between the two of them, it was clear to her how hot he was for her. After what was probably a full five minutes but felt like seconds, Hermione opened her eyes and pulled back lightly, signalling that the kiss was nearing its end. Draco nipped at her lips one last time, and he slowly opened his eyes and his gaze met hers. At first, all she could see was lust in his smouldering grey orbs. Then, whilst holding his stare, it was as if she saw something more, that Hermione was not quite ready to read into yet. As the kiss ended, it left the both of them breathless, Draco’s hands on either side of Hermione’s head on the tree, and with her hands on his scarf once again.
And then, as abruptly as a slap to the face, the reality of her actions hit her. She had been unfaithful to Ron. No matter the situation, this was not who she wanted to be.
“Draco, I shouldn’t-” she started saying through her laboured breath.
He closed his eyes. Not this. He could feel it coming, he knew she was going to do it and he just couldn’t hear it. He had been through so much rejection since the end of the war. Many Slytherins had turned away from the Malfoy family; the Parkinsons had called off the engagement because of the role the Malfoy’s had played in the battle. Many hypocrites who used to call themselves friends had turned away from his mother and him in their hour of need. And now, somehow, this was one rejection he just couldn’t take. She’s the one who came to him with this. He didn’t ask for this, or did he? Yet, he still felt a mix of anger and hurt boiling inside him and once he heard her beginning to speak he moaned and said
“Granger, please do not say it…”
“This was wrong-” she started but before she could continue he was picking up his broom and with one last furious look her way he kicked off. She watched as he swiftly soared high until he was out of sight.
Hermione’s hand went to her mouth. What had just happened? Wait, what had she just done? She didn’t know what she felt but when she stared at the sky where Draco had disappeared she sensed with a renewed determination to find Ron, wherever he was, to clear things up. She had kissed another and felt, well, she wasn’t quite sure yet what she felt but one thing was sure, that her feelings made it clear that her relationship with Ronald needed a serious adjustment.
MotekElm: hope you aren't too disappointed about the dumping Ron not happening at the mo...but I'm sure your patience will be rewarded...:-)
