The Law of Magic

Chapter 30

🔥Harry's POV🔥

I sighed as I walked towards the Great Hall. During these past few days I've been hearing a lot about how Malfoy's dating Hermione and Ginny's dating Zabini.

It hurts, for sure it does. Later on, they confirmed to me that Ginny is in a relationship with Zabini and Hermione is just seeing Malfoy for now.

It's actually great that they didn't lie to me. But I wish I didn't know. Especially with Ginny. It's not that I don't like Cho. I just have a very hard time keeping up with her. She's just...Cho. While Ginny is different.

They can't just make me move on. It makes sense that Hermione is going out with Malfoy. They did interact a lot before they knew they'd have to marry each other. But Ginny? It hurts.

"Hey mate!" I heard the voice of my best friend greeting me and I snapped back into reality.

"Hey Ron," I wearily replied.

"Something wrong?"

"No. It's just nothing. Yeah, nothing."

"Harry, you and Hermione have never been good at lying to me. You shouldn't have tried. If this is about Ginny then let me tell you something."

I waved my hands and just walked again.

"I don't want to hear it, Ron."

"Look, Harry. Ginny hasn't moved on. She just chose to accept the fact that you both just met but you weren't fated to each other. You're not helping yourself. You're hurting. You need a closure."

"I know. I do. But not now, Ron. Cho and I don't particularly understand each other and it's just so tiring. I don't want to realize how miserable I am more than I already am."

He sighed, "Alright. Sorry for forcing you. C'mon let's eat. You'll feel better. Everything will be alright soon. Trust me."

I smiled at him and patted his back barely.

'Let's hope you're right Ron.'

☄️Hermione's POV☄️

"Hey! That's not suppose to be put in yet!" I shouted at Draco while glaring at the aconite he had laid in the cauldron.

"Hmm? Last time I checked I'm the best student for potions here, Mia." He smirked at me and started chopping the giant moonwort.

"Pfft!"

He started me calling me Mia last week. He said it claims we're seeing each other with the assurance we're to be married.

(Mia means "mine" in Italian. Draco can speak Italian and various other languages in my story. He
needed to learn it for their family's pureblood former traditions when he was just in a young age).

After a few more minutes we were finally done with our Wolfsbane potion and we transferred it into a vile and passed our work to our teacher.

"Great work! You two should come by the Slug Club's dinner party this Saturday. What do you say?" Professor Slughorn smiled at us after laying down the vile of wolfsbane into his potion shelf.

"Of course...Thank you for the invitation Professor," I hesitantly said and we left the room.

"Must you accept that?" Draco asked, eyebrows raised and then he sighed.

"Hey! It's your first time. Besides it's not that bad," I said while pouting my lips.

"Of course unless you remember our 6th year and which side of the war I was in but sure."
