CHAPTER 17
“Hermione? Are you listening to me?” Harry nudged Hermione rather hard in her shoulder, causing the girl to snap her head around to him and smile somewhat guiltily.
“Sorry Harry, just concentrating.” Hermione whispered her gaze already wandering back to what had held her attention for almost an hour. Harry followed Hermione’s gaze and was surprised to find it lingering on the Slytherin bench on the far side of the classroom. Draco was busy with his potion, his two fellow Slytherin housemates bickering over what looked to be a botched potion.
“Yeah but on what.” Harry muttered drawing a glare from Hermione who promptly lowered her gaze back to her own work. Harry shook his head as he continued to stir the potion in their shared cauldron. Hermione had been spaced out and somewhat distant for over a week. It wasn’t like Hermione to ignore people or tune out of conversations she was involved in but at random points during the day Hermione would just stop and gaze into space. Ron hadn’t noticed his girlfriend’s lack of interest in him, but Weasley’s weren’t known for their powers of perception. Harry had noticed it especially during Potion’s and Defense. The girl who would rather die than fail a subject was concentrating less on her classes and seemingly more on the Slytherin’s in the class. Harry was concerned but knew better than to question Hermione’s behavior, the girl was volatile enough as it was without questioning her actions.
The clock tower struck three o’clock and Harry hurried out of the Potion’s classroom, with Hermione trailing behind him. Harry had been eager to get out of the classroom since he’d first walked in and seen Snape sitting behind his desk. The Potion’s professor had been awkward all week after the incident in the hallway. Not two words had passed between the pair of them, Snape seemingly determined to ignore Harry’s presence even so much as to not take points. Harry was glad in a way he wasn’t being forced to talk to Snape not quite knowing what to say to a man who’d tried to suck on his neck only a week before.
Out in the corridor Hermione seemed to regain a little of her sensibilities and began animatedly talking about their latest homework assignment for the weekend. The pair of Gryffindor’s were just about to take the staircases up towards the tower when a very familiar voice called Hermione’s name.
“Granger!” Hermione froze mid way through her sentence automatically stopping to turn around and face the blonde at the bottom of the staircase. Draco was panting as if he’d run to catch up with them, and Harry narrowed his gaze suspiciously at the Slytherin wondering what on earth he wanted. “I was wondering if you’d want to work on the Potion’s assignment together this weekend.” Harry stared at Draco as if the blonde had grown a second head. “Professor Snape suggested it, he thinks it would be beneficial to combine our knowledge.” Harry’s mouth dropped open hardly believing the polite boy at the bottom of the stairs was the same bastard that had made Hermione and his life hell over the past four years. Half expecting Hermione to laugh and say no immediately, Harry was floored when his best friend nodded quietly.
“Sure Draco.” Harry turned his shocked stare at Hermione, who smiled rather coyly a tiny blush rising in her cheeks.
“Um, Hermione you promised Ron you’d go into Hogsmeade with him this weekend.” Harry ground out from between clenched teeth hardly believing Hermione had agreed to Draco’s request. Having heard Ron’s name Hermione snapped herself out of her stare down at Draco, and shook her head in slight guilt.
“He’ll understand Harry, he knows I need a good Potion’s mark to get into college. Besides you can go with him.” Hermione smiled at Harry before glancing back at Draco who was watching the exchange with what Harry could only describe as a smug smile of success. “I’ll meet you outside the library tomorrow morning after breakfast.” Hermione smiled once more at Draco before turning on her heel and disappearing up the staircase leaving Draco and Harry glaring at one another.
“What are you doing Malfoy?” Harry spat once Hermione was out of earshot. Draco instantly turned into his normal arrogant self and leant casually against the banister of the staircase a smile of smug satisfaction still playing at the corner of his lips.
“What does it look like Potter? I’m ensuring a little security for myself.” Harry scowled at the blonde who shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave obviously pleased with his work.
“If you’ve got her under a spell Draco, Dumbledore will stop it. Love spells are forbidden.” Harry snapped ensuring Draco paused and turned back to him, determined to get the last word.
“I don’t need a spell to get women to notice me Potter, I have what they call ‘charm’ something you must have missed out on judging on the whispers that are going around about you and the Weasley girl.” Harry’s face paled slightly as Draco let out a cruel chuckle. “But never mind Potter, give it enough time and the Ministry’ll find you a whore to practice on.”
“Fuck off Draco, when Ron finds out about this he’ll kill you.” Harry shouted watching as the blonde shook his head in obvious amusement.
“All’s fair in love and war Potter, and there won’t be a damn thing Weasel will be able to do if I get to Granger first.” With a flippant huff of contentment Draco strode away leaving Harry fuming on the staircase. With a shake of his head Harry instantly set off to find his best friend. If Draco was going to try and sabotage Ron and Hermione’s relationship, Harry was going to do everything in his power to help his best friends stay together.
