Chapter seven:

"You don't understand!" I shout, jerking up and hitting my head on the headboard.

I put my hand to my head and Ginny smirks at me. Merlin, that hurt! Why would Malfoy tell her? Was this his plan all along to tell everyone?

"I don't understand. What?" She said narrowing her eyes. "Tell me now."

"It was his idea!" I shout like a child trying to pin the blame on someone else. "I swear, I don't even know why I agreed."

"What was?" She asks, of course she wanted to give me the embarrassment of admitting it

"The sex lessons!" I loudly exclaim. "Please don't tell Ron, you'll ruin my entire plan."

Ginny's mouth opens widely. It was at that moment I knew I had been tricked. How could I be so stupid?

*********************

I write and send it to her. Strangely I feel excited to see Hermione. I mentally smack myself. When did I even start calling her that, even if it is in my head.

She's only doing it to get him back. I'll always be nothing to her. But I can't help but enjoy the moment at least for now.

But why does she trust me?

********************

"I can't believe it!" Ginny shouts.

"That makes two of us" I mumble. "Please don't freak out and tell everyone."

"You know I would never do that. So have you two done it?" She shouts.

"No of course not! Not yet at least" I say blushing.

"But why?" Ginny asks, sitting beside me. "Do you like him?"

"To get Ron back." I say with a frown. "I don't like him, he's only doing me a favour."

"Since when does, Draco Malfoy, do you favours, or anyone?" Ginny raised an eyebrow, gazing at me curiously.

"I was just as surprised as you are now" I told her. "We met up today for the first time, and we kissed. That's all that happened, I swear."

"How was it? I bet he was an amazing kisser, am I right?" Ginny gushes, smirking at me.

"Yes-" I began.

"I knew it! I've heard rumours you know, apparently he's amazing under the sheets. Hermione, this is unbelievable, you get to experience that" Ginny cut across me.

"I'm worried this will backfire, and Ron will hate me-" I began only to be interrupted again.

"FORGET ABOUT THAT PRAT FOR ONE MOMENT!" Ginny cried, shooting me an apologetic look.

"I can't" I looked down at my feet.

"Yes you can" Ginny put one hand on my shoulder. "I know you can."

"You do?" I felt a spark of hope.

"Yes, are you forgetting who you are? You're Hermione Granger, nobody can take you down" Ginny grinned, pulling me in for a hug.

I hugged her back furiously, glad to have her in my life. "Thanks, Gin, you're the best" I replied.

There was a tap at the window, and Ginny rushed to open it, at the window was a tawny owl, one I didn't recognise.

Giving it some treats from her pocket, she took the letter, suddenly she grinned widely.

"It's for you" Ginny winked.

I opened it up and informed, Ginny of what was written inside, I was to meet, Malfoy after breakfast, as we had no classes tomorrow.

"It is just me, Gin, but you seem more excited that I am" I raised an eyebrow.

"As your bestfriend it makes me happy to see you moving on, especially with someone so hot" Ginny said, getting into the bed beside mine.

"I'm not moving on, I'm waiting" I told her, watching her frown at me.

"Yeah you do that, and have fun with, Malfoy in the meantime" Ginny told me, once again grinning at me.

"Goodnight, Gin, and remember when you wake up, that this was all a dream" I joke.

"As if I'm ever going to forget this, and besides if I did, I'd just get it out of you again" Ginny boasts.

"Whatever" I sigh.
