10: Brie & Draco

~ Hermione Granger / Briella Gaunt ~

I told Draco in Charms today that I would tell him what was bothering me in class. I don't want to tell him because I know that he'll get extremely pissed. I know that he and Ron aren't friendly and this will make Draco dislike him even more.

So during Lunch today I had left the Great Hall early so I could go to the bathroom. Ron had followed me out of the Great Hall and had cornered me. He was ranting and raving over how he still loves me and wants to get back with me. I told him that I was engaged to Draco and he had slapped me across the face. He had also called me a 'filthy slut'. Just for being engaged to Draco.

I had basically sprinted back to the Great Hall, crying mind you, where I had told Daphne and Pansy instantly. Draco, Blaise, and Brendan had already left to go to class early. They both vowed that they would hex Ron to oblivion the next time they saw him.

Pansy, Daphne, Blaise, Draco, Brendan, and I are now leaving our last class of the day, which is Potions, when I hear someone call out my name. I spin around and I see that it's Ron. I put on an emotionless mask and approach him. I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of giving him any emotion.

"Hey, 'Mione, I'm so so sorry" Ron said with a pleading tone.

"Alright, Weasley. First things first, my name is Briella not Hermione or 'Mione. And second you've lost the bloody right to speak with me. And if you do my fiancé and I will hex you to oblivion" I say emotionlessly.

I walk back to my speechless group of friends before he could say anything. I could hear Harry and Ginny bombarding him with questions about what just had happened. Draco looks at me with a proud look on his face. Blaise and Brendan look shocked while Daphne and Pansy look as if they're going to punch Ron in the face.

"C'mon guys, let's go" I say to the quiet group.

I start walking in the direction of the Slytherin dormitories and they all silently follow me. Draco walks up so he can stand next to me.

"Brie...what was that about?" He asks quietly.

I quickly and quietly explain what Ron did during Lunch. I didn't want anyone over hearing our conversation.By the end of my explanation Draco is fuming.

"Do you want to me to hex him for you?" Draco looks at me.

He looks competely pissed off and as if he'll snap at any second. In an effort to comfort him, I easily slip my hand into his. He smiles at me and intertwines our fingers and squeezes lightly.

"Get a room you two!" Blaise says in a joking manner from behind us.

"Shut up, Zabini" Draco says, trying and failing to sound angry.

He ends up smiling instead of sounding angry. We walk into the Slytherin dormitories and all of the underclass men in there start staring at us.

It's kind of known at this point in Slytherin house that there's a thing going on between Draco and I but we've never stated anything to people other than our friends.

Everyone we're friends with (Pansy, Daphne, Blaise, Theo, Brendan, Astoria, and Scarlett) know about the engagement between the two of us. I don't know if Draco wants everyone in the school to know but I would rather not. It's not that I'm embarrassed to be engaged to Draco I just don't want the whole school knowing and being invested in my private life.

We all sit down in a little corner of the Slytherin Common Room at a table big enough to fit all of us. I was sitting in between Pansy and Draco. Brendan, Blaise, and Daphne are sitting across from us.

"Ugh, we have a History of Magic essay due tomorrow" Pansy groans, placing her head down onto the desk.

"Have you not started on it yet?" Daphne asks, rolling her eyes at her friend.

"No! I competely forgot about it until now. Does anyone have it done?" Pansy groans.

"I do. Does anyone else need help on it?" I ask.

Everyone nods their head. I laugh but I end up helping them on the essay.

After dinner, Draco and I are the only ones left in the Common Room. Pansy and Daphne went to bed first to be followed shortly after by Blaise and Brendan.

We're sitting side by side on the couch in front of the fire place. I'm reading The Great Gatsby and he's working on the Potions homework, which I finished half an hour ago.

"Brie" Draco says.

I close my book and look at Draco. He's looking at me with a determined look on his face.

"Draco" I say.

"Even if we are already engaged, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks.

"Draco, I'm already you're fiancé" I say.

"So is that a yes?" Draco asks.

I nod my head and smile at Draco. Draco smiles back at me.

Now we're dating even though we're already engaged. How does that work?
