A/N: Here is the first chapter for the sequel of Drops Of Blood. I hope you like it. Oh, and if you are reading this right now, you really should read Drops Of Blood first or you might not understand what is going on in this story. Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter One
Hermione ran up to her loving boyfriend, Draco, and jumped into his arms and he swung her little body around.
"We did it! We graduated!" She squealed.
The Great Hall was decorated with banners, confetti, and balloons. Once the graduation was final, everyone threw his or her hat up in the air and it started to float. The ceiling was covered with floating pointed witch and wizards graduation hats with little tassels hanging off the end. Each person's tassel had the colors of their houses. After everyone took off their house graduation robe and packed them neatly in their suitcases, they all ran back in the Great Hall for the Graduation Party.
"Isn't this exciting?" Hermione said.
"Yes it is!" Draco answered. He has been fiddling with a small box in his pocket throughout graduation and was waiting for the right time to pull it out. Hermione looked so happy that she graduated because for the past couple of months she was complaining that she was not going to graduate and that she would have to repeat seventh year over again only because she missed about a month of school from being in the Hospital Wing. But of course, she caught up on a months worth of schoolwork in only about two weeks and she passed with all A's. She was so relieved.
"Um, Hermione?" Draco said as he pulled her to the side. "Can I talk to you alone?"
"Sure." She smiled and walked with him hand in hand out of the Great Hall and into the abandoned hallway. "What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" She asked once they were alone.
Draco looked into her chocolate colored eyes and smiled. He got down on one knee and pulled the little box out of his pocket and opened it to her and said, "Hermione Jane Granger." She gasped at the sight of the ring. "Will you marry me?"
She didn't know how to react. Tears started to fill up in her little beautiful eyes and she choked. She was trying to say yes but it wouldn't come out. Finally after about a minute of silence, she croaked out something that sounded like a yes. Draco looked confused. She cleared her throat and said yes again and this time Draco knew what she said. A big smile spread across his face and he pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her finger. It was a big beautiful ring that had three diamonds on it. One big one in the middle and two smaller ones, one on each side of the bigger one. The ring was pure silver and engraved on the inside of the band said, 'Because Of You'. This time, Draco made sure he got this ring from a real jewelry story because he didn't want the same awful thing to happen to Hermione again.
Draco stood up and she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her glossy lips over his. He wrapped his hands around her skinny waist and deepened the kiss. Moments later, Hermione pulled away and threw him a loving smile. She grabbed Draco's hand and was about to walk back into the Great Hall until she heard someone call her name.
"HERMIONE! HERMIONE!" She quickly turned around and saw that it was her little sister named Audrey, who was in the same grade as Ginny, and Ginny both running towards her. Their faces were lit up with excitement. "Guess what just happened to us before the graduation ceremony started?" Ginny asked.
"What?" Hermione said while still holding Draco's hand.
Both Audrey and Ginny held out their left hands to flash two beautiful engagement rings. Hermione squealed with joy.
"Oh, Ginny! Harry proposed?" Hermione said while examining the beautiful ring.
"Yes, and we are going to get married in a year, right after I graduate! I am so excited. My mum is excited too!" Ginny squealed. Hermione smiled and looked over at her younger sister and her ring.
"And let me guess! Ron proposed?" Hermione asked.
"Yes! But we are waiting two years because Ron wants to have a house and a good job before we get married. He said he is going to starting looking right after this graduation party."
"Yes, but Harry already has a house." Ginny said with a smile. "The Grimmauld Place is a cozy house but we are thinking about buying another house after I graduate. I can't wait."
"That is so exciting. Draco is going to stay at my parent's house with me until we can afford to but a nice house in the country." Hermione said while squeezing Draco's hand.
"Wait." Audrey said. "Do you mean to tell me that---."
Hermione held out her left hand to revile the beautiful ring Draco just put on her skinny little finger.
"You too?" Ginny said excitedly.
"Wow! All three of us in one day!" Audrey said with a big warm smile spread across her face.
"Where did you get the money for that Draco?" Ginny asked.
"Ginny!" Hermione yelled. "That's rude."
"I have all my dads money now that he is dead." Draco said without a problem with Ginny's question.
"But wouldn't your mum get the money?" Audrey asked.
Hermione shot an angry glare at her sister.
"No. She is gone. Right after she found out my father died, she disappeared, and all his money was left with me."
"Oh, sorry." Audrey said.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I really don't think she cared for me any more then I cared for her."
There were a couple moments of silence until Hermione broke it. "So, do you two want to come to the party?" She pointed to the Great Hall door across the hall.
"Sure." Audrey and Ginny said together.
They walked back into the Great Hall and onto the dance floor. Hermione and Draco started to dance to a slow love song while Ginny and Audrey just looked at each other with a smile.
"Would you like to dance?" Ginny asked her.
"Why not." Audrey took Ginny's hands and they started to slow dance together.
Moments later, Harry and Ron came up to them and held out their hands for a dance. Ginny took Harry's and Audrey took Ron's.
"How did you get in here?" Harry asked Ginny while they slow danced together.
"Hermione invited us in." Audrey said while she slow danced with Ron.
"Really?" Ron said.
"And guess what?" Ginny asked Harry and Ron.
"What?" They said together.
"HERMIONE IS GETTING MARRIED TO DRACO IN TWO YEARS. HE JUST PROPOSED TO HER NOT TOO LONG AGO!" Ginny yelled.
"WHAT!" Harry yelled.
"THAT'S AWESOME!" Ron added.
"Yeah! I can't wait till the wedding." Audrey said.
"Me neither!" They all said together.
Harry and Ron slowly danced their way over to Hermione and yelled, "CONGRADULATIONS!" She jumped halfway in the air and turned to face them.
"Thank you!" She smiled with her hand on her chest because she almost had a heart attack. Then they all spent the rest of the time in each other's company for the rest of the party.
A/N: I know this first chapter is really cheesy but the rest of the story will be a lot better. Any if you have not read my other story called Drops Of Blood before this then I really suggest you should because then you might understand this story better. Please review on your way out. Thanks!
