Hermione slid on jeans and a hoodie, and made her way down to Hogsmeade. She saw Draco out front, and marched up to him. "They're inside," Draco said. "Let's go in then," Hermione said. Draco slid out his arm, which Hermione took. Then, they walked through the doors. They found Astoria and Ali sitting in a back table, close to where Ron and Harry were. Ron and Harry's mouths dropped. They looked at each other nervously. Harry and Ron stood up and walked to where Draco and Hermione were sitting. "Hermione-" Ron began. "We need to talk with you," Harry said. "Hmmmm. No," Hermione said. "Don't make me drag you," Harry said warningly. "I'm not talking to you," Hermione said. Ron looked at Harry, and let out a breath. He picked half of Hermione's body up, and Harry picked up her legs and feet. "What are you doing?" Hermione asked. "Put me down," Harry and Ron burst out laughing. "Not until you talk to us," Ron said. "We live in the same House! I talk to you every day," Hermione protested. Draco stood up to say something, when Ron said, "Sit down, Ferret," and he sat down. "Fine. Let's go talk. Then, will you leave me be?" Hermione asked. Harry and Ron debated for a while, then said, "Yes," Hermione sighed. "I'll be right back, Draco," Ron and Harry walked her over to the other side of the pub, then sat her down. "Why are you here with Malfoy?" Ron began. "Because he asked me, and I said yes," Hermione said smartly. Ron scowled. Harry folded his arms. "He's our arch nemesis!" He exclaimed. Hermione let out a snort. "He's changed," He said. "Oh, really?" Ron said. "Yes, really," Hermione said. "Hermione," Harry began. "Stop, guys! I really like Draco. If you guys really cared about me, you'd let me be," Hermione said overdramatically. She walked back to Crack barely holding back a smile. Ron tried to follow her, but Harry stopped him. "Ron. She really likes him. We need to be good friends, and step aside," Ron looked sadly at Hermione. "But I'm like her" Ron said softly. "You have Lavender" Harry said. "Harry, mate. You don't understand. What me and Hermione have, its. Its special," Ron said, his voice breaking up. "Apparently, Hermione and Draco have something special," Harry said with a grin. "Don't even joke about that," Ron said angrily. They stood there for a while, watching there I one and Draco. Hermione looked over her shoukder. Her smiling face turned angry. She turned her head back, mad at them. "We need to leave," Harry said, tugging Ron's shirt. "But I love her, Harry!" Ron said, a bit too loudly. Hermione and Crack stopped talking, and looked at Ron and Harry. So did everyone else. "I think its a bit too late for that," Harry said, trying to make the attention go away. Hermione stood up, and stormed over to Ron. "I told you to leave me alone," Hermionensaid, stomping her foot. "Stop being childish" Ron said. "So you confess your love for me, then call me childish?" Hermione asked. Harry took a step back, and tried to walk around and out of the Three Broomsticks, but Hermione stopped him. "Yeah. I put myself out there," Ron protested. "Yeah? Well, now I'm putting myself out there. I don't have a interest in you anymore. It went down the drain, just like your dignity," Hermione said. "Well at least I know who I love," Ron said. "Sure you do. Harry doesn't even have a love of his life," Hermione said, but Harry interrupted. "Did you miss literally my entire life? Ginny is my girlfriend," Harry said. "We don't need your whole life story," Ron said irritably. Harry looked taken aback. "Well! You guys can finish your fight, and Ill go see if I can talk to Draco," Harry said. They didn't pay attention, because they were arguing so loud. Harry sat down at Draco's table. "So you and Hermione, huh?" Harry asked casually. Draco let out a big sigh. "It was all fake," Draco admitted. "Fake?" Harry said suprised. "To make Ron and Astoria jealous," Draco said stubbornly. "well it worked," harry said. There was a few minutes of almost silence. They could here Hermione and Ron's argument from a mile away. "Hermione brings out the better in me," Draco said. "She really nice once you get to know her," Harry turned to him fast. "I've known her for five years," harry exclaimed. "Lucky," Draco said. "Wait," harry said, pausing to think. "Do you actually like Hermione?" Draco was hesitant. "I don't kmow. We've only been fake dating for about a month," Harry grinned. "I hope she thinks of me as a friend at least," Draco said. "Well I have to get going," he added quickly. Harry smiled. Draco packed his bag. "Don't tell Ron about the fake dating," Draco said. "Got it," harry said, showing him a thumbs up.
