A Simple Misunderstanding

Part 2

"Yeah, I get that. You were kind of like that for me too. It was easier to hate you than to admit I hated the cause and my father." I said quietly, surprised I was able to admit that to him. 

Harry just nodded. "Exactly. So it wasn't hard to wrap my brain around the fact that you two finally got together. And at first I was a bit upset that she wouldn't just tell me, but then I figured out why and I stopped being angry. Hermione will tell me when she's ready to admit it to herself, and until then I can be patient." Harry said with a small smile. 

"Admit what?" Theo asked, his brows scrunched together in confusion. 

Harry turned to look at me and I felt like he was trying to tell me something but he just gave me a small smile and then turned back to Theo. "That's not really my place to say." 

I looked back to the dance floor and found Hermione leading the guy back to her table with the girls. She seemed to be introducing him to everyone and when she turned to smile at him he leaned down and kissed her. 

"Oh fuck no." I said, jumping from my chair and marching over to the table where she still stood with the guys lips on hers. I could her the guys behind me scramble to follow and Weaselette was leading her brother and the other Italian back to the table, arriving at the same time as me. 

"Hermione!" I heard Weasel exclaim when he saw her. 

I reached them in a few seconds and grabbed the collar of the guys and yanked him off her without a second thought, releasing him to fall onto the floor as I glared at her. She seemed to recover from her shock and fixed her own glare on me. 

"Oh this is going to be good." Theo mumbled to Harry behind me but I ignored them. 

"You seriously let that jackass kiss you? What the bloody hell is wrong with you?!" I yell, my anger taking control. Her eyes harden. 

"Me?! You're the asshole in this situation, Malfoy." She spits my last name like a curse. "You don't get to yank people off me just because you don't like it."

"Like hell I don't! You don't get to go around kissing other blokes just because you're upset with me!" I yelled right back at her and she went still for a second, her eyes turning molten and I swallowed, my mouth suddenly dry. 

"Make up your bloody mind!" She yelled, her eyes blown wide with fury. "You don't get to have a say in who I kiss when you're the one that doesn't want to be with me in the first place!" 

I still, watching as her chest is heaving but its the pain in her eyes that had me frozen.

"What the hell is happening?" Ron asks from besides us but we pay him no mind, our eyes never leaving each other. 

"Mia, you think I don't want to be with you?" I asked softly and her eyes start to fill with tears. 

"That's what you said this morning." She replied, her voice shaking. 

"No. I said we never talked about it. I never said that I didn't want you." 

"Yeah, you want me enough to have sex with me but nothing more, I get it." She said, her voice hardening as she wiped at her eyes, no longer looking at me. 

"For fucks sake Hermione, that is not what i'm saying!" I yell, starting to get exasperated, by hand moving through my hair subconsciously. 

"Then what are you saying? You don't want to be my boyfriend and you don't just want me for sex but you want to be with me? It doesn't make any sense!" She said, her hands coming up to tuck her hair behind her ears. 

I take a deep breath. "We hadn't talked about it, Mia. I didn't know what you wanted and I didn't want to push my luck and just assume we were more if it's something you weren't interested in with me. I mean give me a bit of a break here! You don't want anyone to know that we've been sleeping together and i'm just supposed to guess that you want to be with me for real? How is that fair?"
