“I saw you.”
“Harry, it’s not what you think,” she pleaded, grabbing his arm.
He shrugged her hand off. “I know what I saw. How could you do this to Ron?”
“This has nothing to do with Ron. He made his choice,” she said, stomping her foot.
“You were supposed to wait for him! It’s Ron, you know he just needs to make a few little mistakes before getting things right.”
“And I’m not entitled to make any?”
A tiny smile tugged at his lips. “So- you’re saying this whole business with Malfoy was a mistake?”
“Yes.” She felt acid burn her throat as she lied to her friend.
“You might want to sound more convincing if you’re going to lie to me.”
“But I’m not lying. It’s Malfoy. Of course it was a mistake,” she said, trying to convince herself as much as Harry.
“Hermione, I love you. Ron loves you,” he insisted. “Malfoy doesn’t. He’s just going to hurt you in the end.”
Harry’s words cut her deep. He was right, yet the way Draco kissed her and touched her made her want to trust him, want to believe his whispered words. But it wasn’t real. Like Ron. Ron was real. Ron wasn’t a mistake.
"Ginny's here. I've got to go. Remember what I said." He pushed a strand of hair back and rested his forehead against hers for a moment.
"I will,” she sighed.
She left the party early.
Draco was waiting at her door.
The moment he cupped her face and kissed her without a word, she decided that she was making a mistake.
When he pushed her up against the door, burying his hands under her dress, she wondered how many times she’d have to make the same mistake before it wouldn’t be a mistake anymore.
