Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, except Craig. I don't own the song either.

A/N: Okay. Well I wrote this when I was really, really bored, possibly even delirious, so the characters are kinda OOC. Bear with me please. –Viv(

…Where it used to bend



Hermione walked along the Charms corridor, doing her nightly check. She didn't usually find other students wandering in this corridor, but strangely tonight she heard voices. She walked into the advanced charms room to find an absolutely horrifying sight. My boyfriend, Draco, is snogging with, Blaise Zabini. I cannot believe what I am seeing…

"Oh my Gawd." Hermione's voice was trembling slightly.

"Hermione, um, it's not what it looks like!" Draco was struggling to get his hand out of Blaise's tight shirt.

"What do you mean it's not what it looks like? I can see exactly what is going on."

"Herm-"

"Don't even try to manipulate me now! I've given you way too many chances. We. Are. Through."

Hermione ran out of the room. Draco called out to her but she didn't turn around. It was over. No more tears. No more pain. Over.

**** Five years later, Hermione lives in Tennessee with a cousin.



Hermione and her friends walked into Joe's Place. It has been their Friday thing for about two years now to go to Joe's every Friday. This Friday it was packed because everyone's friends and family was over now that it was so close to Christmas. On Friday's that were as busy as this Joe and Hermione had a little act that they did. Joe acted as if it was rare to see her in there.

"Guess what everybody. Local sensation Hermione Granger is somewhere in this crowd."

People who knew about Hermione looked around with an excited look on their faces and people who didn't just looked excited, but you could tell they didn't know what they were excited for. Abruptly a voice rose above the excited whispers.

"You never fail to spot me, do you, Joe?"

"Nope. Never. Now come up here and treat us with a song."

"Ahhh. Heck, why not."

Everyone cheered.

"All right. Well I'm sure most of you know this song, its called 'There's your trouble' by the Dixie Chicks. I'm dedicating it to an old friend of mine."

Hermione smiled as she remembered her happier times with Draco. Everyone got quiet and the background music started playing.

"Should have been different,

But It wasn't different, was it

Same old story dear John and so long

Should have fit like a glove

Should have fit like a ring,

Like a diamond ring token of true love

Should have all worked out but it didn't

She should be here now but she isn't



There's your trouble, there's your trouble

You keep seeing double with the wrong one

You can't see I love you

You can't see she doesn't

But you just keep holding on

There's your trouble"

***



Hermione saw a flash of silvery white blonde hair. She was sure it wasn't just someone's bleached hair. Only few people in the world have that hair. She had to find him when she was done. She had to.

***

"So now you're thinking 'bout

All you're missing how

Deep you're sinking Round and round dragging down

Why don't you cash in your chips

Why don't you call in a loss

Not such a big loss

Chalk it up better luck

Could have been true love but it wasn't

It should all add up but it doesn't



There's your trouble, there's your trouble

You keep seeing double with the wrong one

You can't see I love you

You can't see she doesn't

But you just keep holding on

There's your trouble



Should of all worked out but it didn't

She should be here now but she isn't



There's your trouble, there's your trouble

You keep seeing double with the wrong one

You can't see I love you

You can't see she doesn't

But you just keep holding on

There's your trouble

There's your trouble, There's your trouble

There's your trouble.....

THERE IS YOUR TROUBLE"

Damn. That song was dedicated to me. I was such an asshole. I can't believe I ever played her. That was the stupidest thing I have ever done.

Draco had been so sad when Hermione left. Not to mention Blaise left him for Crabbe soon after. He couldn't make the commitment Hermione wanted. He'd failed once, and saved himself from doing it again. Draco had been such a nervous wreck after Mione, Blaise, and his father's death that he gave himself a personality makeover. He went to go live with muggles in the United States. He had heard Hermione went to live with her cousin in Tennessee. Draco had been living in Pittsburgh for the past three years. This year he went home with his friend Craig for Christmas in Tennessee. As soon as they got to Craig's house, his brother insisted they all go to Joe's Place. When he heard Hermione would be singing his heart skipped a beat. Then she sang and the song was way too much to handle. He needed to go outside.

"Hey Craig, I'm gonna go sit outside for awhile."

"Are you sure? Hermione is really good."

"Yeah, I need some fresh air."

He'd been out there five minutes, then the back door opened slowly. It was her. She noticed him. Maybe she wanted him back. Maybe she was willing to forgive him.

"Draco, hi. How are you?"

"Oh hey Mione. I'm great. You?

"I'm just fine and dandy. It's nice to see you and all but I have just one question. What the hell are you doing here?"

"Simmer down, Mione. I came here for Christmas with a friend."

"Oh. So," Hermione said with a smirk. "How did you like the song?"

"Oh. It was good."

"I thought you'd like it."

"Um, Hermione, … about that time in seventh year."

"Which one? The first, second, or the third time?" Hermione said angrily.

"Hermione. I know you're still pissed off, and I really regret those things. I thought I was being all cool and cheating on you. I'm sorry. I didn't know what I really had until I lost you. I'm really sorry."

"Do you think saying sorry is just going to magically make it better? I loved you Draco. I loved you. And you wasted it. You didn't pay attention."

"I know Hermione. I am so sorry." Draco turned away as a tiny, tiny tear rolled off his face.

"You're really serious this time, aren't you? You really mean it." Hermione looked in his eyes and saw the truth. "Wow."

"Yes. And I'll do any thing to make it up to you. Anything."

"Hmmm. Anything?" Hermione smirked at her thoughts.

"Anything."

A big grin suddenly appeared on Hermione's face. "Well first of all, I think I deserve a kiss after all you put me through."

A/N: Dios Mio! People people people. Technically things don't move that fast. This is lyke an excerpt from a story, Therefore it is the middle part of a story that doesnt exsist. SO technically there wasnt snogging in the first chappy! Its the middle of the frickin' story. And things dont move that fast. She was with him for about a year and she actually loved him. He was the one. But nooo. He had to go and ruin shit. And now she see's him after all these years and she has been pining after him. There hasnt been a day where she wasnt thinking about him. And now he is truly truly sorry. He really didnt mean it. I dunno why. There has to be a reason why he did what he did. Maybe he was under the imperius. So now when hott sexy drackie comes along and saya "i want you more than i ever have before" (he doenst have to say it to think it...) Is she really gonna pass up this chance to make things right again? I DONT THINK SO! I wouldnt...:) Just clearin that up...
