-----

You walk down into the Slytherin common room and sigh as you flop yourself on the couch.  You look up when you hear footsteps.

"Hey, little bro," you say.  Your little brother shugs and you frown.  "What is it?"

"How's the mudblood?" he asks harshly.  You sigh, exasperated.

"Not this again, Theo," you groan. "Enough of this.  I'm your brother.  I always have been and I always will be.  So what if I'm going out with Hermione?"

"She's a filthy little mudblood and you know it, dear brother.  She's nothing but scum and doesn't deserve your time or your affection.  She's too low for that and you know it," Theodore replies.

"What's going on?" Draco Malfoy says, striding pridefully down the stairs.

"Talking to y/n," Theodore says.  "... about his little friend."

"Oh.  This again?" Malfoy asks.  Theodore nods.  "You know, y/n.  Theo's got a point ya know.  You and Granger are really different.  She's a mudblood for crying out loud.  Date someone with some more stature or wealth.   Do you really want to be the one who ruins your family's bloodline?"

"I don't care about that, Malfoy.  I'm with Hermione becasue I like her," you say back.

"Are you sure you're not just trying to spite me and mother?" Theo says.

"No!  Why would you ever think that?" you gasp, standing up.

"You knew mother and I wouldn't approve or like this, yet here you are, a blood traitor.  My own brother.  I can't believe it.  To think I knew you!" Theodore says through gritted teeth.  

"You do know me!  You've known me all your life!  I'm still your brother!  It isn't fair that you suddenly start treating me like this just becasue I'm happy with my girlfriend!" you shoot back angrily.  "Theodore, listen.  I would be supportive of any person you could ever date.  I don't care who they are as long as they treat you right.  I don't care if they're a girl, a guy, or something else.  I don't care what their blood status is.  They could even be a muggle, but I wouldn't care as long as you're happy with them.  They could really piss me off sometimes and annoy the heck out of me, but I'd still be supportive.  Why can't you return the same feelings for me?  Why can't you just be happy that I've finally found someone who makes me laugh and smile?"

"Becasue she's not good enough for you, y/n!" Theodore says.  You huff and turn your back on your brother and storm out.

"Hey!  Y/n!  Where are you going?!  Y/N!" Theodore screams, but you're already turning into the hallway.  You hurry up the stairs, your fists clenched and turning white with anger, to the Great Hall.  You get upstairs and see Harry and Ron entering the Great Hall.  If they're going in, Hermione must be close behind.  You rush in and peer down the Gryffindor table.  There Hermione sits, stirring a spoon in her soup.  You hurry towards her and wrap your arms around her from behind as Harry and Ron sit down opposite you both.

"Hey, y/n," Hermione laughs, setting her spoon down on the table, tilting her head back so you can peck her on the lips.  She smiles as she kisses you and Harry and Ron gag in unison a little for dramatic effect.  "You okay?  You have your mad face on again, y/n.  What happened to you?"

"It's my brother. He's being unreasonable again.  he still hates that I'm dating you, Hermione.  It sucks," I sigh regretfully.  She sighs with me and turns to face me.  She pats the bench, telling me to sit and I do.  

"Y/n," she starts.  "I care about you. You brighten my day and you're wonderful company.  We shouldn't listen to what your brother says.  He doesn't know what he's talking about.  I know he doesn't approve of us, but what control does he have over us?  None at all."

"I know... It's just tough having him ignore me sometimes."

"Oh, he'll get over it.  He's a stubborn one, your brother," she says, taking a spoonful of soup and putting it in her mouth.  "You've just gotta let him process a bit.  It's only been a week since we've gone public.  I'm sure he'll come to his senses."

I nod and pull her into a tight hug.

"Thanks, Hermione.  You always know how to make me feel a whole lot better.  How do you do it?  Why do you do it?" I ask, closing my eyes.

"Well, I'm just being a good girlfriend.  It wouldn't be nice if I left my boyfriend alone to fend for himself when his emotions are being tested and his brother is being difficult, now would it?" she smiles.

"I guess not...," I reply.  

"Come here," she says, wrapping her arms around me.  I return the gesture and stroke her arm.

"Thanks, Hermione," I whisper.

"Anytime, y/n.  You're my boyfriend."
