Chapter 19 Confessions.
A/N: Thank you to my betas' Jacy and Garrder. You guys rock!
Harry went up to his room and grabbed some clean clothes. Something about seeing his fiancée covered in sweat and mud wasn't too appealing. He took a quick shower and got dressed. He finally found it suitable for him to wear his skater clothes. He looked at his watch; 7:30 pm. He was right on schedule; he went down to the kitchen and asked for their dinner. He took the tray of food from Dobby and went to Hermione. He went through the portrait hole with ease. It was Hermione's door that was giving him trouble.
He tried a numerous amount of times to open the door but every time he tried, a little bit of pumpkin juice would drip. He finally decided that he would just kick the door gently.
"Who is it?"
"It's me."
"Oh…come in."
"Um…I've tried. Could you give me little bit of help?" Harry asked.
"Alright, I'm coming." She opened the door and saw Harry with the tray of food.
"Thanks," Harry said and went inside. He placed the tray on the desk.
"Looks scrumptious," Hermione said glancing at the food in front of her.
"Some of the roast beef might have a slight taste of pumpkin juice," Harry said in an apologetic tone.
"Umm…okay."
They talked for the rest of their dinner; Harry wanted Hermione to get out of the room for a while, so they went to the Common Room to talk, among other things. Draco and Blaise were already down there and looked awfully busy from the looks of it. Harry cleared his throat so that they were aware that Harry and Hermione were in the room. Draco and Blaise quickly separated.
"Well, look who decided to grace us with her presence," Draco wiping the lip-gloss from his lips.
"Feeling better Hermione?" Blaise asked as she straightened her blouse.
"Much."
"Harry, did you see Weasley's face when we told her off?" Blaise snickered.
"Yeah," Harry said still feeling a little guilty about that comment.
"What happened?" Hermione asked.
"We saw Harry coming back from Quidditch practice with his team mates and I just simply commented to Weasel that her family probably had to starve to get her new broom at the second hand shop and she ran away crying." Blaise and began to laugh.
"What kind of broom was it?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Get this; a Nimbus 2000," Blaise said and began to laugh even harder.
"That bitch deserved it, after what she called us," Hermione said hotly.
Harry took a seat next to Draco and Hermione went on his lap. They talked about their day and what had happened in Potions class.
"So Harry, Draco told me you had quite the event at Quidditch practice today," Blaise said with a smile.
"What did you do?" Hermione said and took her arm off of Harry's neck.
"Nothing, they were late for Quidditch practice. So I just told them that I would have to replace them with their reserves," Harry said trying to explain.
"That's not what I heard," Blaise said with a smile.
Harry glared his eyes at Blaise. She knew that she should stop talking right away.
"What else did you do?" Hermione asked and raised her eyebrow.
"Nothing I swear. I just yelled it at them," Harry said quickly and gave her his puppy eyes. She rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Alright, I believe you," Hermione said with a smile. Harry smiled and put Hermione's arms back around his neck.
"Harry, you will never believe who is going to the Quidditch World Cup!" Draco said putting his arm around Blaise.
"Who?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Bulgaria!"
"What! But how, they were in last place," Harry said in shock.
"I couldn't believe it myself, but they're going."
"Who are they going against?"
"I don't know."
"I wonder if Viktor Krum will be there," Blaise said in a girlish tone. Draco looked at her and rolled his eyes.
"Who cares about Krum, what I want to know is how they got to first place all of a sudden," Draco said. Blaise quickly got out of her fantasy about Krum and let out a huge gasp.
"Hermione, you will never guess who Weasley is going out with," Blaise said in shock.
"Which one? There are like fifty of them," Hermione asked.
"Minnie. I think that's what her name is," Blaise said unsure.
"The one who called us a bitch?"
"Yeah."
"Ginny you mean," Harry added.
"Same thing," Blaise said.
"Who would be desperate enough to go out with her?" Hermione chuckled.
"Todd!"
"What! What ever happen to that Mudblood Cho-Chang, that prick dumped me for?" Hermione said in shock. She didn't notice that Harry's mouth was completely opened after what she had just said. Todd broke things off with her; that was a first.
"Don't know, but can you believe he would sink down that low?" Blaise said shaking her head.
Hermione was quiet the entire time after that. Draco and Blaise left to patrol and Harry said he would meet up with them later. Now it was just Harry and Hermione alone once again. Hermione found this the perfect opportunity to tell Harry, but she didn't know how. Harry saw Hermione bite her lip; he knew she was going to tell him something and it wasn't going to be good news either.
"Hermione, I didn't know Todd broke up with you. I thought it was the other way around," He said trying to making the room a little bit more at ease.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about," Hermione said and got off from his lap.
"What, you don't still have feelings for him, do you?" Harry said in a worried tone.
"No of course not, it's just what happened after that."
"What?" Harry asked.
"When he broke up with me, I was completely out of it and I made a really, really, really, really, really stupid mistake. I didn't remember it until now," Hermione explained.
"What?" Harry said and was now more worried than ever.
"I…. I…. I…. you see…. I…slept with Ron."
