Crush

"There's no need for that professor,I have the proof"Draco suddenly entered the room,looking directly at McGonagall.

"What is that,Malfoy?"Harry raised his eyebrows,looking at Draco's hand.He was holding some piece of paper.

He ignores Harry's question,straight to McGonagall place.He hands the sheet to her.

"This is the proof for telling that both of them are the same.''He said sarcastically.

"There's no one who asks who,professor.Pansy Parkinson, has been helping Lavender Brown so that she can get me."

He stopped his sentences and gave Pansy an annoying glare.

"While Lavender on the other hand,wants to have Weasley for herself."

McGonagall then looks at the paper Draco just handed her.It shows a picture of Lavender and Pansy working together making the potion.It also shows that they are discussing something with Maclaggen and Dean.

"Thank you,mister Malfoy.But could I ask you how you get all of this?"

"I have my way,professor."He said but it seems like McGonagall wasn't satisfied with his answer.

"Fine,I brought the Muggle Camera to Hogwarts cause I thought it was unique.But it comes to help me solving this damn case."He admits his fault.

"This damn woman never let me be cool"

Hermione couldn't be anymore thankful to Draco.Ron also said thanks to Draco for helping them.Ginny and Harry both give him a smile.

"Well now we know the problem was solved,is it?"McGonagall asked all of them.They all nodded but not Hermione.

"Wait professor,there is something bothering me lately.I just still don't know who is the person that pretends to be Harry?"She finished her sentence and looked at Harry.

Harry looked more confuse.He didn't even know what happened.

"Yes,Professor.I've been lied to by that person too.''Ron said sarcastically.That's why Harry is very sucks that day.Its because that isn't him.

"I think Miss Brown will tell us about it."She then turned her glare to Lavender.She shook her head,denying the fact that she knows who is behind it.

"We'll see about that miss Brown."McGonagall brought the potion out from her robes.

"This potion will tell us whether you lied or not."She then asks Draco to bring her some pumpkin juice.

As Draco returns,She puts the Veritaserum in the juice,and hands it over to Lavender.

"You really don't need to do this,Professor.I don't know!"She shook her head,refusing to accept the potion.

"Don't be ridiculous Lavender,just bloody drink it"Ron gave her a death glare.She still refused to open her mouth until Ginny stood up,pointing her wands to Lavender.

"Open your damn mouth or I'll hex you."

She slowly opened her mouth.McGonagall poured the potion to her mouth,forcing her to drink it.

After a while,her eyes turn from brown to grey,signaling that the Veritaserum effect has already started.

Ron tried to calm Hermione when she started to sweating and nervous.Ginny pointing her wands to Dean while Draco's wands on Maclaggen as a precautions action.Mclaggen have tried to run from the office on the form of cat just now.Harry stood next to Ron while Pansy sitting next to Lavender.

"Who is the person that pretends to be Harry?"McGonagall straight to the main question.

"Seamus Finnigan,"Lavender said calmly.

Hermione's jaw dropped.Why there are so many people involved in this thing?

Ron gasped quietly,he never thought that any of their friends would be a traitor.Harry held Ginny's hand,scared of the fact that everything turns bad.

"Where is mister Finnigan right now?"McGonagall asks as she hasn't heard any presence of her student.

"Dead,"She said,but this time there was a sparkle in her eyes.

They were all shocked.Everything turned to silence.They never thought that everything would turn out this bad.This is totally barbaric!

"D-dead?"They heard the man's voice.It was Dean.His eyes flooded with tears.He started crying,regretting the fact that he is one of the reasons for his death.

Lavender's eyes turn back to brown.She saw Dean with tears.She knew that she must've spilled out her secret.Now she really screwed up.

There are no words after that.McGonagall just asks all four of them to pack up their things and leave Hogwarts.Lavender has been accused of Seamus Finnigan's death.

Meanwhile Harry,Ginny,Hermione,Ron and Draco were asked to stay in their own Dormitory for the time being.

Draco P.O.V

Draco was on his way back to the Slytherin Common House,when he heard someone yelling his name.

"Draco!Draco Malfoy!!"Hermione's voice sounded perfectly on his ears.He turned around with a grin on his lips,seeing Hermione running to him,with Weasley.

His grin faded away.Angers flooded all over his face.He then realised that he needed to give Weasley some lessons.

"How can you just go away?!"Hermione suddenly shouted at him,making him jump back.

"What should I do then?"He asked curiously.What is wrong with Hermione?Please don't be mental yet,He wanna see her live happily.

"I haven't said thank you!"She spilled out with a heavy breath.

Draco's lip curled into a smile.He then noticed Ron's eyes looking straight at him.

"You don't have to,I do it for myself"He finished.It makes both Hermione and Ron frowned.He smiles to himself.

"What helped me have anything to be with you?"Hermione asked him curiously.

"Oh,it did have a connection,Hermione."He stopped,looking at Ron before turning back his gaze to Hermione.

"I like you.No,should I say I love you?"He said calmly.He could see anger in Ron's eyes now.This is exactly what he wanted.

"What?''Ron moved,standing in front of him.He smirk,this weasley is too easy.

"I said I love her,are you deaf,Weasley?''He repeated himself,clear enough to see Hermione's face changed.She was in shocked.He knew it but he couldn't care less at this moment.

"Then you should erase your feeling Malfoy,cause I am his Boyfriend!"The red haired boy shouted at him.Damn.He tried to hold his laugh,it's so funny.

"Then take better care of her!!"Draco shouted back at him.Making his stunned.Draco smile as he won.

"You shouldn't let anybody hurt her!Don't be such a jealous prick if you couldn't even do better for her!"I paused,giving Ron a chance to take my words.

"And trust me Weasley,I'll always stay here,waiting for her and making her feel safer with me!"I shouted at him.Maybe I am being too much but who cares.I meant everything that I said.

"You won't Malfoy!'Cause I'll make sure she won't go through any of the things that you mentioned and even more!"His eyes started to flood with tears.

"But you already did it, Weasley."I might really overdo this but he needs to know that Hermione is precious and He really has to take care of her.

"I know I was wrong!I know its my fault!I promise I won't hurt her again! I bloody promise I won't ever let her cry again!"He shouted to me.I am freaking satisfied now.

"Promise to Granger,not me"I push him to Granger.I then walk away from them.Leaving them to have their talk.

"At least I've confessed my feelings.I now can live my life."

Draco entered his dorm with a satisfied feeling.
