Hermione: Great! i think this year something greats gonna happen. i can just feel it.

Ron: you and your gut feelings...

Hermione: * angrily * well you'd know all about gut feelings wouldn't you Ronald Weasley!!!

Ron: * looks at the floor as Hermione storms out the room *

Ginny: * Gets up * Well done Ron. You brought this on yourself. just remember that.

(okay so basically Ron cheated on Hermione and then blamed it on a gut feeling that they weren't meant for each other... blah blah blah. so hermione dumped him.)

Ginny: * comes back into the room crying * She's gone!! Her stuff, EVERYTHING!!

* looks at the others who stare at her in shock *

At Malfoy Manor...

Draco: NO!! I REFUSE TO GO BACK TO THAT HELL OF A SCHOOL!!

Narcissa: YOUR GOING AND THATS THE END OF IT!!

Draco: Urghh... FINE!! * snatches the equipment list and floos to diagon alley * Great, another year at a school where everyones gonna hate m- * spots Hermione crying in an alleyway with all her stuff * Granger are you ok??

Hermione: * looks up * Oh... hey Malfoy.

Draco: what are you doing in an alleyway with all your stuff h- wait... are you living here??

Hermione: Umm... yeah. There's no way to get my parents memories of me back so i can't go and live with them. and i cant go to the burrow cause of Ron being a complete bastard. I have no where to go!! * starts crying *

Draco: jeez... umm Hermione??

Hermione: * looks up with a shocked expression * that's the first time you've used my first name Malfoy.

Draco: yeah well... I just wanted to apolagise for how i've treated you and your friends over the years. I didn't have a choice about what i thought of people. i had to think the same way as my father then... but he's dead now, so i just wanted to say ... i'm sorry.

Hermione: I understand, your father did push you to be like him. I could see that from how you acted around him. I forgive you.

Draco: * sighs relieved then has an idea * you know what, pack your stuff up Hermione.

Hermione: Huh??

Draco: you can come and stay at my house. we've got plenty of spare room and my mother wouldn't mind so...

Hermione: * stands up and hugs him * Thank you.

Draco: * startled * no problem. Could we be friends Hermione??

Hermione: yeah, sure Draco. * packs her stuff up and they apparate to Malfoy Manor *
