Hermione stared at the door as she gulped down hard. There was a fifty percent chance he would be there, but then again, there was a fifty percent chance he wouldn’t. That was a fifty/fifty and it was definitely not helping her calm her nerves down. “Just, knock.” She ordered herself, lifting up her hand and punching the door lightly three times. She heard footsteps and the door opened.

“Hermione?” Harry asked, peering out the doorway to see his friend. “Hermione, how are you? Come inside,” He said with a bright smile, letting her in and hugging her.

“Hey, Harry, I’ve been good. How’ve you been?” She asked, pulling away from the hug.

“I’ve been well, could be better if I wasn’t the middle man between my two best friends.” He admitted, pushing his glasses up. “What brings you here? I’m not complaining, I’m just surprised.”

Hermione barely heard Harry as she scanned the flat for any signs of him. Harry noticed she was preoccupied to answer and chuckled.”Uh, he isn’t here, if you were wondering.”

Hermione looked down, completely embarrassed. “Sorry, it’s just … complicated.”

“Uh yeah, I heard about you and Malfoy. Uh, congratulations - I had no idea you two were even …” He awkwardly cleared his throat. “I’m happy for you,”

“Th, thank you, Harry. I know it seems all too fast that I’m already dating him and that it’s even weirder that it’s Draco Malfoy. But --”

“I know, Ginny told me everything.”

“Ginny told you everything?” Hermione raised her eyebrows as she sighed. “Speaking of your wife, where is she?”

“She’s in the bedroom.”

“I’m going to go talk to her.” She said, quickly making her way towards the bedroom door.

“Would you like some tea?”

“Hm?” Hermione asked, turning around and thinking about it. “No, let’s go out and have a drink. I think I need one.” She replied, disappearing into the door, leaving a very confused Harry. She found her friend on the bed and groaned. She walked over and climbed into bed “Hey,”

“Hey, why are you here?” Ginny asked, reading the book in her hand.

“Harry informed me that you told him everything. And what exactly did you tell him?”

“Hm?” Ginny finally looked up nervously. “Nothing,” She answered quickly - a bit too quickly. “Damn.”

“Ginny!” Hermione whispered furiously, slapping her friend’s arm. “What did you tell him?”

“I just told him you were together with Malfoy, okay?” She asked, rubbing her arm. “And I told him you two met after a one night stand and … he was curious. I can’t lie to my husband.”
