Tutoring A Malfoy - Dramione

Chapter Thirteen - 'Leaving is not an option.'

'Have a good sleep last night?' Harry asked, walking up to where Hermione was sitting in the Gryffindor common room. She looked up at him as he took a seat next to her, shoving her hair behind her ear and biting on the edge of her quill as she thought of what to write.

'I guess so, why do you ask?' Hermione asked, letting her quill drop onto the table and turning around to face Harry who was staring at her in what could only be utter disbelief. Hermione raised her eyebrows, 'why are you staring at me like that?'

'Hermione, why are you lying to me?' Harry shut his eyes and ran a hand over his face. He then opened his eyes and stared at her whilst Hermione just shook her head slightly, not knowing what he was talking to. Standing up, Harry waved his wand and Hermione's books were packed into her bag in an instant. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet, 'follow me.'

'Harry, I have work to do!' Hermione said annoyed but she grabbed her bag and followed Harry out of the common room. Harry led her down a corridor and Hermione sighed when he didn't stop. Finally he did stop and turned to face her. Hermione noticed the corridor was empty, 'what is this about, Harry?'

'Hermione, you lied to me,' Harry accused and glared at her fiercely as Hermione tried to deny his furious attempts at annoying her. He dug into his pocket and took out a simple piece of parchment. He waved it in front of Hermione's face like a flag.

'What is that supposed to be?' Hermione asked, folding her arms across her chest. Harry stared at her, wondering why she was so slow today. Finally Hermione groaned and walked over to the stairs to see if anyone was listening. They weren't. She walked back and shrugged, 'the marauders map, what about it, Harry?'

'I saw you last night. You weren't in bed, no. You were in the library... with Malfoy... alone,' Harry said and waved the map to her face. The light left Hermione's face immediately and her stomach muscles clenched up. He knew. Harry knew. Harry raised his eyebrows, 'you said you were not going to tutor him! What were you doing with him in the library?'

'I...' Hermione stuttered but stopped. A hand went to her lips and she remembered the lingering kiss of Malfoy but she couldn't tell Harry that... why must everything be so complicating? Harry waited and Hermione sighed, 'I have to tutor him since you put him in the hospital wing! He needs this, Harry.'

'That git is playing you and I didn't think you would be stupid enough to fall for his traps! He's a death eater and I don't care what you say about that-' Harry yelled, shoving the Marauders map in his pocket and stepping forwards. Hermione's mouth fell open at the words, the horrible words, Harry screamed.

'Keep your voice down!' Hermione said, her hands shaking at her sides. How dare Harry shout out that Draco was a death eater without any solid proof? Of course, he was a death eater but no one needed to know that! 'Harry, just stop. I was tutoring him-'

'And you didn't tell me about it!' Harry yelled, his anger bubbling up until he felt like he would tip it all out on Hermione.

'I didn't think I had to tell you everything that goes on in my life!' Hermione yelled back, her hair came loose from behind her ear but she did nothing to tame the wild mess. She just huffed at Harry.

'You're betraying me and Dumbledore and-'

'Betraying? Betraying?! I'm only tutoring Malfoy! I didn't think that was such a crime!' Hermione yelled and then threw her hand up into the air. Taking a step backwards, she glared at Harry, 'just stay away from me, Harry!'

'Go run to Malfoy, Hermione! I'm sure he'll enfold you in his arms, just beware of his dark mark, will you? Run straight to the enemy! Make sure to tell them all of our secrets!' Harry said, his anger was something that Hermione hadn't experienced in such a degree of intensity before. She tried to walk away but that comment made her stop and furious tears poured down her face as she spun around to face her best friend.
