"You see Harry, the thing is, I dont know what to do about the whole situation. I mean, you love me, I really like Draco, he fancies Pansy, I found them kissing, and i dont know who to belive!! Why does it have to be this way?" Hermione wailed.
"Look, it doesnt. Just...just forget about love for a week or so, then see who you belive. If you belive that Malf- Draco was kissing Pansy back, then...uh, please, um, conider...m-"
"Right, I get what you're saying"
"Good. And if you belive Ma- Draco's story, then, whatever, go back with him. Be confident in what you do." Harry finished.
"Okay, but one day, i belive Draco was kissing her back, then the next day I belive he's totally innocent. And today is a day when i belive Draco was kissing...her. And recently, I've started to like you more. Give me a week to decide, and if i dont belive Draco, me and you can be an item." Hermione smiled, kissed Harry on the cheek and walked out of the room of Requerment. (sorry not to good at spelling that word! 😮)
Harry couldnt believe he had to say that. But he knew it was what she wanted most that mattered to him.
Harry waited a moment before leaving, and made his way towards the Kitchens.
Elves tackled him with questions of what he wanted, and he ordered a simple Butterbeer.
That when he noticed who else was in the room.
It was Ron, with many bottles surrounding him. He looked....drunk!?
"Ron? What the hell is the matter with you? Are you drunk?!!" Harry asked.
"Heehee!! Look Harry, look at all the houssse elvesss!! Hermy would go gaga, wouldnt ssshhhe? sssilly ould ssspew!!" Ron stood up at tried to walk over to Harry, but he kept wavering and stepping backwards again. "I cant belive ssshhhesss with that misssserable old ssswine-whatsss he called? Oh yeah, Draco Malfoy. The-"
"C'mon Ron, i think we'd better get you to the boys dormiories and sleep the drink off." Harry said, thanked the house elves for their hospitality and shoved Ron out of the door.
"Come on Ron!! Move!!" Harry was having difficulty even moving Ron, let alone getting him to the boys' domitory!! Thankfully, Ginny and Hermione walked past them, on the way to the library.
"Ginny!! Hermione!! Will you help my get Ron to the Dorms?" Harry asked, Ron nearly falling down the enchanted staircase.
"Omigod!! Ron!?!?!?! What the-" Ginny cried.
"Sssshhhh!!!!!! He's drunk alright? I found him in the kitchens like this. C'mon, help me here!!" Harry whispered franticaly then hoisted Ron up again.
((I like it ^^))
The girls helped the best the could, and finally they tossed him upon his bed. He had finally stopped attempting speach and passed out cold.
Harry and the girls went back down into the common room. "Thanks, I dont think I could have gotten him up there without you guys," he said.
Ginny and Hermione frowned.
"Why would Ron do such a thing, though!?" Ginny wondered aloud, deeply distressed. Sure, sometimes Ron acted stupid, but he'd never ever drank so many butterbeers he'd actually gotten drunk.
"I...I dont know," Harry admitted, although he had an idea.
Hermione saw the look on Harry's face face and that thought wriggled into her brain too.
"Not Dra-"
"Yes, Hermione, Malfoy"
Ginny raised her eyebrows. She didnt look entirely shocked though. She rubbed eyes.
"Guys, I've ran out of steam, do you mind if i go to bed?" She asked.
"It's fine with me. You need sleep. Your fifth year is your second hardest." Harry smiled at Ginny "Night"
"Night" Ginny waved goodnight.
"Sleep well" Hermione half-joked.

As soon as they were sure Ginny was gone, the two sat near the fire, both sighing at the same time. For a moment they just stared at the fire.
"Well, I think I'll go on now also. Long day," Hermione said, flashing a meek smile as she stood. Harry nodded.
Hermione started walking towards the stairs before stopping. She turned.
"Harry," she said. He pretended he was surprised she was still there, but had secretly been watching her from the corner of his eye.
"Yeah?"
"Well, er, just..." she paused. "Thank you for everything," without another word, she was off.
Harry sat back in the chair, sighing again and closing his eyes.
"Harry? Haaarry?" Ginny poked Harry gently (pokey lol) untill he woke. "Wow! Are you okay? Your head is kinda bruised!"
Harry put a hand to his forehead.
"Ouch!" he said as he felt the tiny brown lump on his head "that hurts!"
"How didja manage that?"
"I dunno, i was coming up the stairs, and i was dizzy, and i must have fell and bashed my head" Harry shrugged, and swayed slightly, the pain in his head stronger.
"I think you need to sit down" Ginny suggested, gestured to the squishy chair in front of the fire and followed Harry as he lowered himself into it.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine" Harry replied, and winced as his forehead gave a painful throb "Great, now my scars hurting"
The two sat in silence for a while, but Ginny broke it(the silence).
"You're pretty concerned about Hermione huh?"
"What?"
"About her fancying Draco."
"Oh, yeah. Well, i don't want her to get hurt." Harry said uncomfortably. "Again" he added. "He's a slimy git if i ever saw one"
"Yeah, he's a right pain. I don't know what she sees in him!" Ginny pulled a confused face.
