‘I don’t know anymore.’ Hermione said.
‘What do you mean?’ Ginny asked.
‘I think my feelings have changed, but I’m scared I’ll screw everything up.’ Hermione said.
‘Is that it? You’re just scared you screw things up?’ Ginny asked.
Hermione nodded.
‘Don’t be, everything will go its way, just like the previous time.’ Ginny said.
Hermione bit her lip.
‘You’re everything Draco wants, he told me that yesterday.’ Ginny said.
‘He said that?’ Hermione asked.
Ginny nodded smiling.
‘I don’t know what I’m going to do, I still have to figure everything out.’ Hermione said.
‘Do you think you’re in love with him?’ Ginny asked.
‘I don’t know.’ Hermione said.
‘What a lovely day, isn’t it?’ Ron said and he took a sip of his butterbeer.
‘If you say so.’ Ginny said.
‘You have to enjoy life more Gin.’ Ron said cheery.
‘Shut up Ron.’ Ginny said.
Harry sighed.
‘Keep it down you two.’ he said.
‘She started.’ Ron said shrugging.
‘I did not!’ Ginny said.
‘Is it that time of the month again?’ Ron asked.
‘Oh my God you crossed a line there!’ Ginny said glaring at her brother.
‘Not the best thing you can say when a girl is a little bit cranky.’ Hermione whispered.
Ron shrugged.
‘Where is Lavender?’ Harry asked.
‘She’s coming in a few minutes, she first had to get something.’ Ron said.
Harry nodded.
‘How’s everything going?’ Harry asked Hermione.
‘I’m fine, you?’ she asked.
‘Same.’ Harry said.
‘Are you keeping up with school?’ Harry asked.
‘Yes, almost at the point where you are now.’ Hermione said.
‘Seriously? Are you studying all day long?’ Harry asked.
‘Wait! Don’t answer that!’ Harry said.
Hermione laughed.
‘How’s living with Draco?’ Harry asked.
‘It’s okay, it’s a huge change though.’ Hermione said.
‘I mean first having to share your room with a few girls, now having your own room and sharing a common room and bathroom with a guy.’ she said.
‘Are things coming back?’ Harry asked.
‘No.’ she said biting her lip.
‘Nothing?’
‘Nothing.’
‘It will come, I know it will.’ he said.
‘I hope you’re right.’ Hermione said.
‘Unless there are bad times, I’d rather leave them out of my head.’ she said.
‘Understandable.’ Harry said.
‘Have you contacted your parents lately?’ Harry asked.
‘Yes, I get two letters a week I guess.’ she said.
‘It’s starting to get annoying really.’ she added laughing.
Harry smiled.
‘They’re just worried.’ he said.
‘I know.’
‘How’s everything going with Ginny?’ Hermione asked.
‘Everything’s great, though she’s quite cranky lately.’ Harry admitted.
‘Weird, something happen?’ Hermione asked.
‘Not that I know of.’ Harry said.
‘Maybe she’s just tired?’ Hermione said.
‘I hope you’re right.’ Harry said.
‘What do you think?’ she asked.
‘I don’t know, it can be a lot of things.’ he said.
Harry sighed.
‘Do you think she wants to break up with you?’ Hermione asked.
Harry looked at Hermione and that was confirmation enough for her.
‘She isn’t going to break up with you Potter, she loves you.’ Hermione said placing her hand on his shoulder.
‘You never know.’ he said.
‘She won’t, I promise you that.’ Hermione said.
‘How can you know?’
‘I see how she looks at you.’ Hermione said.
‘Is that enough?’
‘Of course it is, plus she talks about you a lot.’ Hermione said.
‘Maybe something is bothering her or she is indeed on her period.’ Hermione said.
Harry nodded.
‘I hope you’re right.’ Harry said.
‘I know I am.’ she said.
‘I saw you talking with Mione.’ Draco said when they walked out of the Three Broomsticks.
Ginny laughed.
‘I know where this is going Malfoy.’ Ginny said.
‘No, I’m not going to tell you anything.’ she said.
‘What! Ginny.’ he whined.
‘You know I won’t tell you anything when I know she doesn’t want anyone to know.’ Ginny said.
‘Please?’ Draco asked.
‘There is one thing.’ Ginny said.
‘And that is?’ Draco asked.
‘It’s going the right way.’ she said.
‘But I don’t know if she’s going to do anything.’ Ginny said.
‘Complicated.’ Draco said.
‘This whole situation has been complicated since the moment you two had to live together.’ Ginny said.
Draco nodded.
‘I know.’ he said.
‘Don’t worry.’ Ginny said.
‘If faith wants you two together, then you will be.’ Ginny said.
Draco nodded.
‘I just don’t want to screw anything up.’ Draco said.
‘Of course you don’t and you won’t.’ Ginny said.
‘Just stay yourself and don’t do anything stupid.’ Ginny said patting his shoulder.
‘Wow great advice Weasley, hadn’t figured that one out.’ Draco said.
‘I was just planning to do something really stupid that will throw all my chances through the toilet.’ Draco said.
‘If I were you I would stop that and start a new plan.’ Ginny said.
Draco rolled his eyes.
‘It will be fine.’ Ginny said.
‘I hope you’re right.’ Draco said.
