Author's Note: You might see someone named "Willow" in here. Just so you won't be confused about her brief mentionings, here is what this is all about:
Willow was a former girlfriend of Harrys, he chose her over Hermione. She was kind of wierd and practiced a form of magic called Elemental Magic, Harry didn't know this was a dark art. Eventaully from using to much of this Magic Willow died, Harry still hasn't gotten over it.
Sorry to spring her on you guys like these but the whole Willow thing is very detailed and is going to take awhile and I already have this written for you guys. Hope you don't mind they barely talk about her. Maybe once or twice.
Hermione scoffed. "That Potter!" she wanted to scream. Hermione stormed off,
down the Hogwarts grounds just wanting throw herself in the lake. At that point Hermione would have gladly said "Take me squid" and thrown herself purely to the waters. But she couldn't not when there was still time for her to have her way. She collapsed on the ground and cried. Well actually it was more like a hysterical, nervous break down but no one was listening in so she could rage as mutch as she needed to. Hermione looked down into her reflection, her hair blowing up in the wind. Hermione saw her tear stained face and as if Harry were looking too she said, "Look at me. Just look at me. Not good enough for you? Not the best? I'm sorry I'm not crazy and I'm sorry I'm normal and I am really sorry I like you" . Hermione splashed her hand through her reflection as she said "GO ON! Look at me now" . "I hate you" Hermione hissed. "Slime" she muttered.
'Well I've only been saying that for six years, but I never thought you would be the first Gryfindor to agree" said an amused voice. Hermione jerked her head behind her. "Malfoy" she said almost sounding pleased. "Yes my darling" Malfoy said sweetly. "You are being nice to me?" said Hermione confused. "Hermione I have been blinded by hate, or better yet we have" said Draco sitting beside her.

"Let's not let this continue, I have realized my hate was only love for you. It is time you have admitted your love to me as well" Draco said pushing her hair behind her ears, and leaning on his hand which was so cleverly placed behind her. Hermione wanted to just lash out and kiss Draco all over, but she knew it was only rebound. "Draco, I am not sure I love you at all, though your feelings for me are quiet flattereing" said Hermione trying to keep things smooth. Draco didn't make a false move. "Perhaps this will help you decide" said Draco pulling out a ring box from his pocket.
Draco opened it and handed it to Hermione. She smiled, she loved Draco more each minute, but not enough to know for sure. "I-" but Hermione got cut off by Dracos lips. He kissed her, his emotions flowing long, wrapping his tongue around her tonsils. Hermione pulled away and slugged Draco in the shoulder. "Shit Draco!". Draco grinned, "Decide" he said. "Decide now, me or Potter" .

Well with the current situation and all of course Hermione said "Draco, it is you, no contest, may we never speak Potter's name again" . He smiled and slipped the ring on her finger. They walked inside together to discover chaos. "Now" said Dumbledore when he finally got silence. "The common rooms are being searched for a rat" said Dumbledore. "A rat?" Draco said bewildered. Hermione knew all about that rat. So Pettigrew was here again trying to kill Harry, "The rat is going to kill Harry" Hermione said to Draco.
He looked at her and smiled. But then he realized what she had said "The rat, I mean a rat is going to kill Potter?" said Draco. "Trust me" she said. Dumbledore went on. "You will all be sleeping in the Great Hall, just like 5 years ago when the Chamber Of Secrets was opened" . Hermione smiled, a night with Draco, everything was going great.
Harry who was standing next to Ron glanced at Hermione, then at Draco, then at their entwined hands, and finally at Hermiones ringed finger. Harry tapped Ron on the shoulder "Look" he said pointing at Hermiones ring finger on her left hand. Ron saw and gasped but then exhaled and said "Thats just vile" and went back to listening to Dumbledore ramble on about their second year.Neither Hermione nor Draco had noticed the display they had been so envoloved with one another. Harry looked depressed but beat himself up inside "it is your fault you know? Your own fault for not opening your heart to her when you had the chance" . Harry couldn't though, he still needed to heal from Willow.

Draco kissed Hermione on the cheek as they picked out makeshift beds next to one another. Hermione sat in Dracos lap, thinking about good things to come. Then Harry entered her mind and she closed her eyes as if to block out the thoughts.
"Tonight, has been the beginning of my life" said Draco knowing that now he was a changed man. Hermione looked at Dracos passionate eyes, eyes that were once filled with malice were now filled with admiration. "How I envy you and your honesty" Hermione said laying down. "Green is not your best color" Draco said thinking about Harry's eyes. He too laid down, to dream about the future. Ron laid down thinking about his ex-pet Scabbers and how useless he was even in the human state. However Harry Potter laid down but did not sleep, instead he dwelled on the past, his past with Hermione.
The morning Sun rose all to quckly for Harry. His thinking was not yet completed. But for young lovers Draco and Hermione, the Sun was late. Hermione bounded out of bed ready for classes, Draco bounced out of bed because Hermione did. Ron looked at Hermione showing off her large diamond ring while Draco stood next to her smiling. Ron could see the thing from where he was standing on the other side of the Great Hall. "That's one hell of a rock" Ron said. Seeing the look on Harry's face Ron immediatley corrected himself "I mean it's a tiny pathetic pebble look at it!" .
_____________________________________________________________________________
"Wow" said the Slytherin and Gryfindor girls in awe. All the Slytherin boys were shaking hands with Draco gryfindors wouldn't even look at him. Finally Hermione and Draco ran into Harry and Ron in the hall. Ron looked behind Harry and Hermione did the same to Draco- nobody else was around. "So, got her a ring, eh Draco?" said Harry. "Thats right" Draco said angrily. "What's the deal he gives you the rock and you help him pass?" Ron said. Harry stepped on Rons foot then and Ron began howling around the hall.
"Hermione what is going on?" said Harry. "Well Harry if you're that stupid... I'm engaged did you think he just gave rings to anyone?" said Hermione annoyed. Draco smirked. "Hermione, give me a week just one week and Willow will be gone from my system just a week" Harry begged. Draco rememberd Willow, she had framed him and gotten him detention, he loathed that witch. "A day here, a week there, it never ends" said Hermione. "Please" Harry asked. Draco rolled his eyes. "Enough" said Hermione and she turned her nose up and walked off. "Guess you lose this round, Potter" said Draco spitefully and he followed after Hermione playing Mr.Sweet Guy.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Later that day in the Gryfindor common room, Hermione saw Harry sitting in an arm chair by the fire looking at a photo album. Hermione glanced over, it was the album she and Ron had given him the day he found out Willow had died.
It was filled with pictures of the gang together. Harry looked at a picture of Hermione, it was one with her hair in all up in braids. She was blowing dandelions in the picture. Hermione came and sat across from him. "Hey" she said. "Hey" said Harry sadly. Hermione smiled and there was a long silence before Harry said, "Hermione what are you doing with Draco? He's not your type he's not even for you" . Hermione looked at him, she was trying to be nice about it but he just had to start trouble. She stood up and looked at him as evil as she could and said, "What do you know about me?" and stormed out of the common room. "Everything" Harry whispered to himself.
_____________________________________________________________________________
A couple hours later, at supper Hermione saw Harry again. She closed her eyes, "I'm never looking at you again" she mumbled. As she sat down next to Ron, Dumbledore stood up to talk. "It seems, we have made a mistake, the rat we caught was an ordinary rat and was by no means harmful, do not worry" . Then the food appeared at the table and everyone ate.
Draco walked over to Hermione at the Gryfindor table and saw her sitting with Ron. "Some things never change" he thought. Draco swooped down on Hermione and kissed her cheek from behind. Ron rolled his eyes, and Harry looked away.
_____________________________________________________________________________
As supper came to a halt, Hermione and Draco set off for the Gyfindor common room. She stopped at the portrait hole, and turned around. Draco didn't move, "Go on then" he coaxed. "What?" said Hermione. "I'm coming with you" said Draco . "We could get in big trouble" said Hermione. "So be it" said Draco.
Hermione whispered the password and they walked in to discover Harry alone in the room sitting on the couch with roses. Draco snorted. "Nice try Potter" he sneered. Hermione turned red. "Draco, perhaps you had better go we're going to get into trouble" Hermione said softly. "But-" said Draco when Hermione cut him off, "GO!" she yelled. Draco turned and strutted out of the room. Harry looked up embarrased. Hermione turned to him her eyes watering and then she said as she began to cry "Why do you keep on hurting me?" . Hermione ran up to her dormitory, sobbing.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Harry didn't think so, he was going to give her the damn flowers and she was going to pretend to like it. Harry ran up after her and opened the dormitory door, relieved to see it was only Hermione who was in there. She laid on her bed crying softly. She looked at him and cried some more. he sat down beside her, "Hermione please..." Harry said quietly. "Oh please what?" Hermione spat still crying. "Please give me another chance? Please forgive me for breaking your heart? Please do what I'm telling you too? Don't you get it? If you don't PLEASE do so now. It's over" said Hermione her voice dripping with venom. "No" Harry said his voice strained for the words . "I-I need you baby. I need you. I love you, I'm sorry. Don't do this, I need you" Harry begged his tears flowing now. She looked at his face and picked up the roses. She opened the card and read a poem Harry had written to her:
Our lives were happy, our lives were good, we lived the life that lovers should. And then a darkness blinded me and your beauty I failed to see. And now our home is torn in two, 'cause I can't find my way to you . Now when I see you I cannot bare , to see your glare that was once a smile when we loved that great short while. You wait for me to say the words that will end your pain and hurt. And when I'm ripe with thing to say, the words just rot and fall away . And if I thought this stupid poem would even change one thing, you can bet as sure hell I'd say it everyday.
Hermione looked up it was sweet she had to admit. She looked at him he looked at her and she couldn't help it anymore. Harry leaned torwards her and kissed her softly unable to contain himself. Hermione didn't resist she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him softly. Hermione didn't realize it just then but Dracos ring had fallen on the floor.
_____________________________________________________________________________
If the two love birds had been paying more attention, they would have noticed Parvarti and Lavender, climbing the staircase, talking and laughing. Parvarti turned the knob and the door creaked, the two of them didn't notice that either. Paravarti and Lavender however, had not failed to notice them. "Oh!" said Parvarti who happened to know of Hermiones engagement. Hermione and Harry finally noticed the girls. Hermiones eyes widened and Harry just looked at them, dumbstruck. "Uh...Draco wanted me to give this to you" said Parvarti holding out a note. The two girls looked at eachother closed the door and ran downstairs talking rapidly.
For some odd reason Hermione didn't care she picked up the ring and put it on her nightstand. "I should of known no one in this world could top you" Hermione said passionatley. "I'm giving the ring back" Hermione said picking up the note and tearing it up. "I don't want anything to do with him anymore, I don't even want to read his rubbish" she said. Harry smiled, and just laid there. "I should have known, that only your heart can decide these things" she whispered.
