Chapter 7- Secrets Out

Hermione's POV

I felt my palms start to sweat as my old best friends, the boys I'd risked my life with and protected with my life, got closer and closer. I gulped before taking a deep breath trying to calm myself.

"Gin what did you call us for so urgently." I heard Harry say as he came down the stairs, my back was to him. "Oh hi Draco, what are you doing here mate?" He said in such a friendly tone that I almost died.

"Hi Malfoy." I heard a voice say, one that could only belong to Ron.

"Wait who is this?" Harry said noticing me and I took one more deep breath before starting to turn around to face him. His face contorted for a minute in a sense of confusion which then changed to pain, hurt and then finally a mix of sadness and relief. "Her. Hermione. HERMIONE!" He said before walking towards me at a quickened pace, I could see tears starting to whell up in his eyes and could feel myself starting to do the same.

"Hi Harry." I heard my voice break as I felt him crash into me and pull me into hug. I pulled away smiling before looking over Harry's shoulder at Ron.

"Hi Ron." I said trying to force a smile, he looked so hurt and angry and I felt my guilt come swimming back up again. But it vanished as he walked forward and pulled me into a quick awkward hug.

"Where have you been? Why did you leave us? How could you leave us?" Harry had already started to ask a million questions and I sighed before walking over to the lounge motioning for them all to follow. They all did, Ginny and Harry sat down across from me on the other lounge, Ron sat down in one of the love seats and to my surprise Draco sat down next to me. I looked up at him, surprise written all over my face and couldn't help but smile a little when he gave me his Malfoy smirk.

"Okay how about I start at the beginning?" I said looking at them all, they all nodded before I turned to look Draco straight in the eyes. "Do you mind if I tell them about.." I said timidly.

"Yes Hermione it won't make much sense unless you do." He said quietly never taking his eyes off me.

"Okay so please no one get upset or angry or anything please?" I said looking at them and watched them all nod in agreement before beginning. I took a deep breath, well here goes nothing. "During out 5th year Draco and I became friend's it wasn't anything we planned or anything but it happened and I saw a different side of him to what everyone else did. Someone who was forced into a life they didn't even want. He did all the things he did trying to keep his mother and his friends safe because if they didn't they would of been killed. By our 6th year Draco and I were dating in secret, as you know Professor Snape made a promise to help Draco. We continued in secret and we were each other's rocks. When I was sad I remember everyone thinking it was because of Ron and Lavender but it was because I couldn't be near him. I never wanted to lie to any of you but I didn't want you to hate me or to put anyone in danger, any of you or Draco. I saw Draco just before we left to search for the Hocruxs and it was like we both thought we wouldn't live through the next few months. Then after we got captured at Malfoy Manor I got a message form Draco, trying to apologize for not doing anything to save me and I wouldn't have wanted you to do anything Draco. I wouldn't have wanted you to put yourself at risk." I said looking at him and the mention of that time in his manor seemed to destroy him, he was looking at me so broken and full of pain and I couldn't help but place my hand on his cheek and give him a comforting smile.
