Lover

Hermione Knows

The next morning, after having slept all day by accident, Harry
made his way from Sirius\' room up to Gryffindor Tower. (A/N: It\'s
possible to sleep that long. I\'ve done it) Remus, who was still very
mad with him and wouldn\'t even look at him, told him Hermione had
stopped by…so he went to going to go see her. Besides he needed to get
away from Remus.

\'He looked like he was going to kill me.\' Harry winced as he walked. \'I really didn\'t know I was kissing Sirius. That\'s kind of nasty if you think
about. He\'s my godfather. I guess I should have known not to fall asleep on
him.\'

\"Password?\" the portrait asked.

\"Malfoy stinks.\" Harry smiled. Ron was resident Prefect.
Stepping in to the tower, Harry saw Hermione sitting in her usual seat
without the company of Ron though. \'Maybe he\'s off practicing…\' He
wondered.

\"Where\'s Ron?\" Harry asked as he sat down.

\"Went somewhere.\" Hermione drawled. \"He wouldn\'t tell me where…\"
Harry sat back more in the seat and Hermione sighed.

\"What did you want Mione?\" Harry asked.

\"If I tell you something, promise not to tell anyone. \'Specially not the
Gryffindors.\" Hermione asked. Harry looked taken aback.

\"You know I\'d never tell anything Ron or you or even Seamus told me. What
is it?\" Harry asked, leaning forward.

\"Well…\" Hermione sighed. \"Since the last four months of last year…I\'ve
been dating Blaise.\"

\"Blaise as in Blaise Zambini?!?\" Harry shrieked.

\"Shhh!\" Hermione shushed.

\"Hermione, no one is around.\" Harry said raising an eyebrow.

\"Yeah but there\'s a few first year girls upstairs!\" Hermione declared.
Harry just rolled his eyes.

\"Was that it?\" Harry asked.

\"No…\" Hermione replied. \"Blaise found something.\"

\"Found what?\"

\"Remember… your journal-\" Hermione started.

\"-HE found my journal!\" Harry shrieked.

\"Harry, shhh!\" Hermione shushed him again.

\"But, since when…\"

\"We found it two nights ago by the steps.\" Hermione explained. She neglected to say it was around eleven o\'clock a night.

\" \'We\' as both of you…?\" Harry asked.

\"Yes but Blaise took it cause we didn\'t know it was yours at first.\"
Hermione explained further.

\"You mean Blaise has my notebook… why didn\'t you take it?

\"I said I didn\'t know it was yours. Blaise told me this morning after
breakfast.\"

\"How is it if you\'ve been dating him this long and I didn\'t know. I mean Hermione are you really that sneaky?\" Harry said nervously. Hermione sighed. \"Tell me he\'s not going to show it to Draco!\"

\"I bet he already has.\" Hermione whispered. Harry covered his face.

\"Harry you know it\'s okay that you\'re in love with Draco.\" Hermione said
rapidly.

\"What?!? how do you know that?\" Harry removed his hands and stared at his
best friend.

\"Blaise told me and I already suspected that you liked him. I mean all those times that you got into fights with him. Especially that one time when you had your hands…uh… up his shirt.\"

\"You saw that?\" Harry closed his eyes and slid down in his seat.

\"Yeah, you\'re lucky Ron didn\'t see.\" Hermione smiled. \"He would have massacred you, and Draco alike\"

\"I thought you saw but I was trying to convince myself that you didn\'t.\" Harry slid down farther in the seat. \'Since when was it Draco?\' he asked himself.

\"It\'s okay Harry. I\'m your best friend, I\'m not going to care
who you fall in love with…even if it is Draco Malfoy.\" Hermione smiled. Harry looked up.


\"You don\'t but Hermione, its Draco Malfoy, he\'s been our enemy since day
one.\"

\"You\'re going to hate me but Blaise dictated a passage from
your journal to me.\" Harry coughed and Hermione smiled even wider. \"Something about how you had a really nice dream about you and Draco…together in…\"

\"Okay…okay. You going to give me a fantasy Mione!\"

\"I thought it was nightmares not fantasies!\" Hermione laughed.

\"Oh, shut up!\" Harry scowled. Hermione continued laughing. Finally she stopped.

\"So you want to go see Blaise with me?\" Hermione asked.

\"Where?\" Harry asked standing up.

\"In your room\"

\"My room?\"

\"The Room of Requirement.\" Hermione giggled.

\"You knew I was staying in there?\"

\"Ron told me you stopped sleeping up there after you broke up
with Seamus, so that\'s popped into my head,\" Hermione said pointing up to the boys rooms. \"Besides that where me and Blaise go to be…by ourselves,\"

\"In my room?!?\"

\"Yes your room. You really ought to put a disillusion charm on
it cause if you know what your looking for you can go right into your exact room.\"

\"Good thing I clean the bed before I leave.\" Harry mumbled. Hermione smiled \'Sure is\' she mused, and then stood up. She grabbed Harry and pulled him out the room. They walked down to \"his room\" and found Blaise indeed sitting in there.

\"Hi…\" Harry mumbled a hello and sat on his bed, Hermione next to Blaise.

\"Hi, sweetheart.\" Blaise whispered in Hermione\'s ear and kissing her there. \"Hi Harry,\" he added.

\"I can see the two of you are very acquainted with my room.\" he
said raising an
eyebrow.

\"I advice if you want your journal back, you shut up.\" Blaise shot back.

\"Okay that\'s just mean.\" Harry muttered lying back on his bed. He was due for a nap and had just that.

\"Asleep.\" Hermione whispered sitting back down next to Blaise
after she checked to see if Harry was asleep.

\" So does he have it.\"

\"Yes.\"

\"Did he read it?\"

\"Yes.\"

\"So…?\"

\"Soooo what?\"

\"Blaise!\"

\"Hermione!\"

\"Stop it!\"

\" Fine. I convinced him to mail him saying he has it and to meet him somewhere to get it back. That way they can be alone.\" \'I even had to help him write it. He was so nervous. I\'m going to kill his father for doing this to my best friend.\'

\"You\'re such a little sneaky person aren\'t you!\" Hermione
chuckled kissing him.

\"I am a Slytherin after all.\" Blaise grinned. \"You know you need to wake him up. Sirius is expecting us for dinner. No doubt Harry skipped lunch like
he usually does and is hungry\"

\"So go wake him up then.\"

\"You go wake him up.\"

\"You.\"

\"You!\"

\"You!!\"

\"You!\"

\"Would you two shut up!\" Harry growled. \"Your fighting just interrupted a very good dream. I mean a really, \'really\' good dream.\" He mumbled the last part.

\"Oh, come on Harry! We\'re going to have dinner with Sirius and Remus.\" Hermione huffed pulling him out of bed. \"Let\'s go!\" Harry followed Hermione and Blaise out the room and down the hall. When the reached their destination, Hermione knocked on the door.

\"Come in!\" Sirius\' voice came. They stepped in the room.
\"Hermione, Blaise, Harry, hey!\"

\"Hey Sirius.\" Hermione smiled.

\"Professor Black\" Blaise nodded.

\"Hi.\" Harry mumbled.

\"Well go sit down. Dinner is almost ready\" Sirius smiled. \"Remus will be in, in a second.\" Harry stiffened.

\"Harry sit down, come on!\" Hermione scowled. She sat down at the table next to Blaise. Harry sat on her other side. He refused to look at anyone. As Sirius set the table, Remus stepped into the room, his eyes fell on Harry and he sat down a seat away from Harry. He glared. Sirius caught him.

\"Remus, stop it!\" he scowled. Then they ate dinner, in almost complete silence. The only ones who were talking were mostly Hermione, Blaise and Sirius.

\"So you two, how longs it been?\" Sirius asked trying to start up a conversation.

\"Six months, one week, one day, today.\" Blaise said matter-o-factly.

\"You kept count?\" Hermione asked looking at him.

\"Of course.\" Blaise smiled.

\"And you\'re spending it with us?\" Sirius asked.

\"Well sort of…later were going to-\" Blaise started. Hermione hit him.

\"-The whole world doesn\'t need to know our business!\" she told
him glaring
at Sirius. \"You prying old man!\" she growled.

\"Hermione. I\'m appalled. I was just asking.\" Sirius smirked.

\"Don\'t do that.\" Harry whined.

\"Why?\"

\"It reminds me of Draco.\" Harry huffed. Everyone started to laugh, even Remus. After dinner, Hermione and Blaise left and Sirius took a walk with Harry, while Remus cleaned up.

\"Harry you okay? You seemed quiet at dinner.\" Sirius put his arm around his godson shoulders. Harry smiled weakly at his godfather. \"Is it Draco or Remus?\"

\"Remus.\" Harry replied. \"I think he hates me.\"

\"He doesn\'t hate you.\" Sirius assured him. \'At least I don\'t think so\'

\"Are you blind or did you not see how he was looking at me at dinner?\"

\"He\'s just mad…really mad. He\'s a werewolf, I\'m his mate. I guess you kissing me just made him really jealous.\"

\"Insanely jealous. He looked liked he wanted to kill
me…slowly.\" Harry winced again. Sirius laughed. \"I\'m glad you find that funny.\"

\"I\'m sorry. I\'ll talk to him. Okay?\"

\"Okay, Sirius.\" Harry smiled. \"Whatever you say.\"

\"Exactly.\" Sirius smiled.

\"Please!\"

\"Please what?\"

\"Please nothing.\"

\"Your such a little brat you know that!\"

\"Yeah I know.\" Harry smiled \"Sev, tells me that all the time.\"

\"Funny how you two became friends just because you developed a fetish for his godson.\"

\"He\'s really good at hiding it to.\" Harry agreed.

\"Severus Snape is good at many thing and hiding emotions is on the top of his list. Especially the ones he has for Remus.\"

\"What!\"

\"I didn\'t say that…\" Sirius mumbled hitting him self. \"I think you need to go to bed.\" They stopped at Harry room and he kissed him on the forehead. \"Now go to sleep!\"

\"Like I said, I always seem to sleep all day when I go to see you.\"

\"Night, Harry\"

\"Night, Sirius\"

A/N: I don\'t know if anyone caught it. The fact that Hermione been sneaking around, with Blaise, by herself, in Harry\'s empty room, that has a bed, imply something. Just so you know though, they haven\'t….Yet. What to come of Harry and Draco. Who knows? I DO! You\'ll just have to review and wait for
the next chappie. Later!
