The Law of Magic

Chapter 31

💗Hermione's POV💗

After the dinner ended I bid my goodbyes to Draco, Ginny, and Blaise. They, of course asked where I was going but I just told the two that I just need to do something important. Draco already knows so it's fine. Harry is important, after all.

"Let's go, Mione. I saw him going that way to the Astronomy Tower," Ron said quickly walking towards me and grabbing my hand.

Ron dragged me with him but I removed my hand.

"Ron, that hurt." He apologized awkwardly and we walked right away to the Astronomy Tower.

"Harry?" we called.

We kept searching and searching for him in every corner of the tower but couldn't find him.

"Where is he, Ron? He went this way, Right?"

"I don't know. Let's look for him below the tower. Near the lake." We were about to leave when we heard a soft sound of someone crying and we immediately went towards there.

"Mate..." Ron muttered.

"I-I look pathetic, don't I?" Harry asked while sitting in the dark corner and we joined him.

"No, Harry. Of course not. It's okay to be hurt. It's only normal," I said, serious.

"You don't see Ron sulking over what happened with him and Lavender, do you?"

""Mate, that's only because I'm hiding to everyone how I feel. But you, you don't have to," Ron explained and patted Harry's shoulder.

"Harry, even if the world turns their back on you, Ron and I are here for you. We're family. We're here for each other through thick and thin. Okay?"

"T-thank you," Harry replied, his voice cracking.

"Always mate," Ron added and I nodded in agreement.

We three sat their till the dawn was arriving, trying to cheer him up until he laughed. We reminisced the past and for once again. I felt so young, so reckless, and so complete with my best friends.

'No can tear us apart, no one.'

A few hours later at Ron and Hermione's dorm with their "fiancés."

"Ron?" I called him before sitting down at the couch and hugging a small pillow.

"Hmm?" he responded.

"May be we should set up a bonding day with Harry. Like just the three of us like before. How does that sound?" I suggested.

"Well...if he agrees to it, why not?"

"Great! I'll plan the whole thing. All you have to do is ask him to come with us. Let me know if he can't come though."

"Yeah, yeah. I will."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" a voice rang through the living room. A boy's voice.

"What do you want, Zabini?" I asked covering my ears from his loud shouting.

"Stop it, Blaise. The lady clearly doesn't like your loud and screeching veela like voice," Draco followed and sat down next to me.

"Mia, you look awful," he said and I glared at him.

"Thanks for stating the obvious, wuss."

"Did you just call me a wuss? I'm so deeply offended." He laid his right hand in his chest, exaggerating.

"Oh please."

"What's got your knickers into a twist?"

"Seriously? Couldn't you have ask like 'What's wrong?'," I replied, yawning.

"That must've been it. C'mon sleepyhead," he stood up and put his arms around my waist and carried me. My body was half-hanging in his shoulder.

He started walking and I realized what he was trying to do. Bloody hell, no!

"Hey! Get me down! Drake! Drake!" I shouted trying to make him drop me but he wouldn't budge.

"If you keep on doing that you'll end up dead in the floor from excessive blood loss. You know, cause you'll hit your head," he said still walking.

"When have you ever been a fortune teller?" I asked him, irritated and still trying to get out from his grasp.

"Ever since you were born. We're soulmates, right? So I was born to take care of this huge and childish baby girl for the rest of my life."

I blushed but then realized his insult.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy, I'm not a baby!"

"Whoever said I was talking about you?" he smirked.

"What?!" my ears went red and I gave up on trying to get out. I'm so tired.

"Use protection, lovebirds!" Blaise shouted.

"You little!" Draco turned around.

"Your mind is so corrupted! I'm just going to make her go to sleep!" He shouted.

"Ohh..."he trailed off.

"Is that how you think of my younger sister as well?!" Ron shouted, raging.

[It was at this moment Blaise knew, he fuc*ed up.]

"What? No!" But Ron wouldn't have it and started firing spells at him which wouldn't cause so much damage, of course.

So, Blaise ran for it and went out. But Ron followed him and kept firing and chasing him, base on the sound, that's what I think.

"That's what you get!" Draco shouted.

"Just put me down," I said, sighing.

"No. Let's go." He tightened his grip on me and started walking and so we finally reached the door to our room. He opened the door and laid me in bed.

"Sleep," he said sitting at the couch.

"And what about you?"

"I'm going to sleep too after you fall asleep."

"Then, why wait?"

"I wanna watch you sleep." My mouth was half-hanging at this point.

"Close your mouth if you don't want flies to get in your stomach," he said after taking a book from the book shelf and opened it before sitting down.

"Did I hear it right?" I asked, blushing.

"Yes you did. What do you expect from a guy who likes you. Seriously, what are you 12?"

I blushed even more before I started fidgeting in the bed and sat up. I played with my hair and sighed.

"Y-you know, you could sleep in the bed with me. I mean we are engaged after all."

"Does little Granger want to cuddle with me?"

"No! I was merely suggesting so that you'll be more comfortable in a bed! Besides we can always put pillows between us."

"Alright, then." He laid down the book and walked towards the bed and removed his slippers.

He laid down with me and pulled the blanket to cover both of us.

"We shouldn't be sleeping in a time like this. But let's sleep." He said breaking the silence.

"Yeah. Let's sleep." I said, still blushing.

After a few more moments of silence, my eyes started to close until finally it all blacked out. But I did feel two arms wrapped around me before I drifted into my sleep.
