1Author's Note: hermdrayreturns returns with another story, I know you guys liked Seeing Underneath and Looking Deeper and I love you to but who are you, but I think this one takes a bit of a turn with the original fluff I have going on in my stories. At least at the beginning, but I promise at the end it shall be the happy ending I always give yall.

I'd just like to say this isn't like those normal Herm/Draco marriages where they decide to be civil and civil turns to respect and respect turns to like and so on and so forth. There's a bit more angst and this is NOT like those happy go lucky stories. Until they realise they are made for each other.

Opposite to my last story, everything will be seen from Hermione's point of view and not Draco's because she's the one mainly in mystery.

Enjoy XD

On with the Story

CHAPTER 1 - WHY HARRY WENT BONKERS

I can't believe this. I can't believe Harry. I think the death of all of the people who were parents to him finally struck him like a knife. And now he's going bonkers and trying to hurt everyone around him. He is so frustrating! No! Frustrating isn't the word but UGGH! I just- I friggin- I don't even know what to say!

For once in my life, I, Hermione Granger, am speechless.

ARRANGED MARRAGE FOR HOGWARTS STUDENTS?

I refuse to be married to a person I barely know. For all I could know, it could be some slimy git-faced whiny Slytherin!

Now relax Hermione...Oh my god...I think I need some air.

"Ron are you sure?" I asked him worriedly.

He nodded, gulping. "He plans to make the whole of Hogwarts United. Hermione, what are we going to do? Don't you think he's taking Dumbledore's advice a bit too seriously?"

I reckon. I mean the old coot's dead! Professor Dumbledore, if you were looking down on me while I said that, just realise that I'm a bit out of mood right now.

"Well Hermione, it can't be that bad... I mean our partners are decided by the sorting hat. And by the looks of it, we're in the right house." he offered.

I smiled. "Oh Ron, you know just how to make things seem alright...sometimes..." I hugged him.

"Hey!" he mocked being upset.

"Ronald Weasley...Eloise Midgen." I heard Ron sigh heavily as the Hat shouted out his rightful mate. That was the one girl I know he really didn't want to marry.

"Dean Thomas...Padma Patil." Parvati's eyes rose and her skin tinged slightly pink. Parvati dated him, now her sister was marrying him.

On and on it went...many were a bit disappointed with their lifelong partners, many were happy but there were none that really hated each other.

"Harry Potter...Ginny Weasley" lucky drats...what I wouldn't give to be married to a Gryffindor. Hell, Neville Longbottom would do!

"Neville Longbottom...Susan Bones" My last chance gone.

Lavender went with Justin Finch Fletchely, and others were paired together with people that we never thought in our wildest dreams.

Then the Gryffindors were done.

Now it was time for the Slytherins.

This would probably be funny.

"Blaise Zabini...Pansy Parkinson" Pansy looked like someone had stolen her expensive clothes. She wasn't destined to be with a Malfoy?

"Theodore Nott...Parvati Patil" Maybe he was nice...who knew? But that was the first Gryff/Slytherin pair and hopefully the last.

"Draco Malfoy...Hermione Granger" Apparently I spoke to soon. And I turned in time to see Malfoy fall off his chair. Everyone turned to me and I felt really lonely.

Now I know how Harry felt. No wonder he went bonkers.
