Chapter 5: Lavender's Plan
For the rest of the week, Lavender continuously tailed Hermione.
Much to her surprise, nothing was out of the ordinary with Hermione.
She decided to tail Harry and Ron, as her time following Hermione hadn't been a success.
After a few days of spying on the boys, she struck gold.
"Malfoy," growled Harry. "What the hell did you think you were doing with Hermione that day?"
"What?" Draco said, in mock surprise.
"That, that THING you were doing with 'Mione when I caught you!" Ron roared, turning redder by the second.
"Oh, that…" He tinged a pale pink.
Harry lost his cool and pushed Draco against the wall, holding him up by his neck.
"You'd better tell us, if not we'll see to it that you come to a bloody end…" Harry threatened.
"'sonlynatural!" Draco gasped.
"What?" Both the boys yelled, in horror, and Harry dropped Draco in shock.
As Draco massaged his throat, he said, "It's true you know."
Just then, Hermione rounded the corner.
"Hermione!" Ron ran forward, grabbing her by the shoulders. "Is this true?" He shook her shoulders vigorously. "Tell me! Is this true?"
"Ron, stop this! Cool down, what are you talking about?" Hermione shrieked.
"You and that-that ferret," Ron said, disgusted.
Hermione blushed a dark shade of pink.
"Ron, please, don't do anything to him, I-I think I love him. Please, Ron," Hermione pleaded. "Don't tell anyone you guys please, if not Draco will, Draco will…" She gave a little sob.
"Hermione, you know that we will support you right? You are our best friend you know," Harry said, soothingly.
"Yeah, even if it is that ferret," Ron continued.
"Oh, Malfoy," Harry started.
"Yees?" Draco drawled.
"Make Hermione cry and I'll rip out your balls to feed the Hippogriffs," Harry hissed.
Draco paled and clearly looked stunned.
"Harry!" Hermione said playfully, slapping him on the shoulder.
The four jovially proceeded towards the Great Hall, unaware that behind a pillar, a scheming Lavender had witnessed the whole scene, and was rubbing her hands together in glee.
