High (A Harry Potter Fanfiction--Dramione)

Sorry I'm Not Sorry

"Hey. Hermione?" Ginny snapped her fingers. "Are you even listening to me?"

Hermione was exhausted. She'd been sneaking out every night to the hospital wing to see Draco. The immediate danger had finally passed, but Madam Pomfrey wasn't comfortable enough to discharge him just yet. She had been dozing off while Ginny was talking. She shook herself. "Yes. Of course I was listening."

Ginny smirked. "What was the last thing I said?"

"Um...something about...how much you love Harry?"

"No."

"Something swotty about Quidditch?"

"No."

Hermione sighed. "Fine. You caught me."

"Are you that tired?"

"Well, between school, life, my boyfriend getting butchered by your boyfriend, and Hell Week, I haven't been getting very much sleep."

Ginny's face scrunched. "Hell Week?"

Hermione waived it off. "It's when Lavender and Parvati get their periods. They synchronized sometime around third year and it makes for a fucking lovely week once a month."

Ginny giggled. "I imagine Lavender is like...Bint Squared when she's on the rag."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Yeah, and I don't get it. I'm a girl too and I've never gotten PMS. I'm convinced it's a myth."

Ginny raised a cool eyebrow. "Hermione, I love you. But them's fightin' words."

"Is it actually real? I've never even gotten cramps."

You could have knocked Ginny over with a feather. "I will punch you in your perky little ovaries."

Hermione recoiled slightly. "Alright new topic. How are things with Harry?"

Ginny grinned. "Amazing," she sighed. "We're still in that stage where everything he does is cute or funny. I mean we're not as gross as you and Malfoy, but we're still sufficiently sickening."

"Draco and I are not gross."

"You are certifiably insane if you really think that."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "How's Harry? Just...in general?"

Ginny's eyes softened. "He misses you."

"I know. I miss him too, but...you know I'm just not finished being mad at him yet. He nearly killed—"

"I know. Believe me, I know. And so does he. He's my boyfriend so I have to stand by him and all that, but I'm not going to say what he did wasn't astronomically thick."

"Thanks, Gin."

"Any time. The Ferret...I guess he's not so bad."

Hermione snorted. "Well don't get all gushy on me."

"Hey, that's a huge concession. This may come as a surprise to you, because you seem to have forgotten the previous five years of your life, but not everyone likes Malfoy. You're just blind to it because you regularly S his D."

"Charming."

"What are you guys talking about?" Harry announced his presence as he sat next to Ginny, throwing an arm casually around her shoulder.

Ginny smirked as she placed a small kiss on his cheek. "Hermione giving Malfoy head."

"Aaaaand...with that, he left—never to be heard of again." Harry scrambled to get up. He tried to catch Hermione's eye but she wouldn't acknowledge him. As he walked away she spoke.
