Author's Note: I have no idea how much time writing this story is going to take, but I already have everything lined up. I even have a timeline, I'm that much of a nerd. Haha. Just a tip, pay attention to the dates. You don't really need to figure things out, but I won't be writing a day-by-day story so the dates might help some people. :) BTW, these author's note ramblings of mine are important to understanding the flow of the story. I messed up something. So please, read them. :D

To show that I am dedicated to finishing this fanfic, here is a sneak peak from the future! :D Reviews help with how fast I write the chapters, another tip. So please, keep 'em coming. Happy New Year!

Prologue

May 2, 2006

8:17 P.M.

"I'm fine. Quite..." horrible "well, actually." Hermione said. Why do I say these things? Just tell him you miss him. Tell him you couldn't sleep last night. Or any of the past nights. Just tell him that the nightmares have come back. Tell him you still love him. Why are you so stupid Hermione Jean Granger. Why? "I'm guessing you're doing well too?"

"Yes. I'm fantastic." he said, averting his gaze from the beautiful woman beside him on the last word.

Hermione took a sip of her champagne and looked at blond-haired man at her side. He's great. Of course, he's fine! Look. He's already eyeing ladies. Clearly, those three years you had together were meaningless… those three wonderful years… no. This has got to stop. You told him to move on. To try his best. What?Did I expect him to say "no?" Actually, yes. But that's because you were hopeful not honest.. He's moved on. And you should too Hermione..

Draco intently stared at the punch bowl on the table only to have his eyes meet Astoria's sister and her friends. Ugh. Just turn your head and talk to her. Just try, you can't avoid looking at her forever. You're Draco Malfoy, for God's sake! Just turn your head and try not to want to kiss her. She's looking at you, you know it. Just tell her… tell her you want her. Tell her that you'll still fight if she wants you too. Just tell her something!- "So what in the world do you think this big announcement is?"

Stupid. Stupid Malfoy.

Hermione turned her head towards the stage. That was the worst question he could have asked. Correction, that worst possible question he could have asked her.

Trying her best to keep her tears from falling, she answered:

"They're getting married."
