"You should do something Draco. I mean your father killed your girlfriend!" Blaise yelled at Draco.

"Don't tell anybody about this. Blaise, I mean it. I don't want anybody to know about this."

"Take it to the grave" Blaise instantly regretted saying that. Draco's shot a deadly and hurt glare at Blaise. "You know what I mean"

After Draco told Blaise what had happened. They were close. Almost like brothers. Blaise was the one that helped Draco through it. He helped him cope with his mother's death as well. Blaise befriended Ron and Harry along with Draco.
...

"Draco, tell me the truth"

"No for the Merlin's Sake, I haven't got a clue why Ron wants to have a get together."
"If we go, and I find out that you're lying to me, so help me Malfoy" Blaise said as they got into the fireplace. Draco laughed and put his hands up innocently. Blaise had specifically told them that he didn't want a Bachelor party and nothing was going to convince him to want to have one.

"MERLIN, Draco! Can't you just get a clue?" Hermione yelled as she disappeared from his sight. His head fell back as he groaned in frustration. They argued over everything, no matter what it was. It was always her and her thick skull. He had to admit though, it turned him on. He rolled his eyes as he went after her.

"Granger" He said looking for her. "Hermione…"
"Leave me alone" The female voice said. He followed the sound and went after it. He finally caught her leaning against a tree.

"Fine. Urgh, why do you do this to me" Draco said as he stood in front of her.

"Do what exactly. Draco! I told you to leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you"

"You're jealous aren't you?" Draco said with a triumph smirk.

"I am not jealous of that bloody pug faced-. What do you see in her?"
"I don't see anything! I'm with you. Why would I want to be with Pansy? This is because I chose her as a partner, isn't it? Well you didn't exactly choose me either"

"Because no one is suppose to know about us"

"I'm not getting all jealous over Potter, now am I?"
"Shut up" Hermione said. She knew that he had won this round.

He let out a chuckle as he leaned over and kissed her on her cheek.

"We should go. People are going to be wondering where we are"

Draco smirked. "So, let them wonder."

When they arrived at Ron's house, it was dark.

"Alright I know what's going on. So don't you dare say-"

"SURPRISE"! Everybody called out.

"Oh fuck you, Draco" Blaise said with a smirk on his face. Draco laughed. He grabbed a glass of firewhisky and walked over to talk to a few people that were in the party, leaving Draco by himself.

"So, how are you and Lacey" Harry said approaching Draco for conversation.

"Quite well, actually. We are actually planning to announce it publicly. After what they wrote in that bloody magazine, I thought I might as well announce the truth"

Harry had read it. He knew what he was talking about.
"So, how are things with Ginny?"
"Fine, thanks" Harry said. "She said she had something to tell me later. I think she might be pregnant"

"Well! Let's have a toast, for the Husband to be. Marrying his longtime girlfriend, Claire Bilowisk!"

Blaise lifted his glass "A toast to you all for going against my wishes!" He said before clinking glasses and beer bottles.

Claire was a year younger than Blaise and they began dating two years after she graduated. They were a perfect couple, it was only right for Blaise and Claire to get married.

Draco had smiled as he gave his friend a brotherly hug, then chugging down the rest of his drink.

"Hey, I'm going to get some air. I'll be back shortly" Draco said, excusing himself and walking to Ron's backyard.

Draco had his moments where he couldn't bare to be with anybody else. He would never show it when he was like this. Instead, he would be excused himself from the crowd or from where ever he was and escape. No doubt he was very happy for his friends, but he wished that he was as happy as they were. He loved Lacey, but he would see his friends go off and have a happy ending with the ones that they loved. He would never consider Lacey as a replacement, but she wasn't the one that he had fallen in love with in the first place. He had to have the terrible luck of falling in love with a girl that was obviously not Malfoy girlfriend material.

Draco was shocked to find his father there. He was talking to Hermione. He turned and saw Draco, before pushing Hermione down andkicking her in front of him.

"STOP"! Draco ordered.

His father turned to face Draco.
"I found your whore, Draco. She is going to die, and you are going to witness it"

"Draco, are you alright. You seemed like you were rushing to leave"

"I'm fine." He lied. No, he wasn't fine. Destiny didn't seem to be on his side, he has no family. Draco was all alone, with a girlfriend that didn't deserve him and friends that cared too much.
"We should get back to the party"

"Yeah, I'll be back in a minute" Draco said. His friend walked back in and Draco looked out in to the sky. He knew that she was probably up there, knowing that he felt guilty and that he still thought about her, even though he had a great girlfriend. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed before going inside.

"You're PREGNANT!" Her friends yelled and squealed.
"Have you spoken to Harry?"

"I think he knows, but I am planning to tell him later."
"What do you think Claire, is this some Bachelorette Party or what!"

Claire smiled.

"Lacey, how are you and Draco doing?" Ginny said, looking at Lacey while Claire spoke with Luna, Lavender, Padma, and Parvati

"We're fantastic! He wants us to go publicly."

"I bet he read the article." Ginny said looking down

"I read it too. I seriously think he should move on with her. I mean she's six feet under"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Lacey.

"That's something that takes quite a while to get over, Lacey. I mean after all, he DID see her die."

"I know, but I mean it's already been six years. He needs to get on with his life"

Ginny actually admitted to Draco that Lacey wasn't her favorite person. She felt that she was trying to take Hermione's place, either that or because she was after the Malfoy fortune. Draco called it BS and said that Lacey was beautiful and sweet and said that she would never ever take Hermione's place in his heart. Ginny called that BS and stopped before the heated argument got further.

"Lacey, em- can I speak to you, I want to know which color I should paint my nails" Claire said, trying to save her friend's life. From the look that Ginny had in her eyes, she knew that if Lacey had stayed there a second longer, Ginny would've strangled her.

Ginny was defensive when they spoke rudely about her friend, she wouldn't take it from anyone. Especially Lacey, who everybody knew envied Hermione for being with Draco and winning his heart completely.

"Mrs. Potter has a call" The house elf called. Ginny didn't like having house elves, but they refused to leave. She had given them loads of clothing, but they refused to leave. She gave up and allowed them to stay.

"Thank you" Ginny got up and walked over to the phone.

"Hello?"
"Ginny. Is that you? Merlin you sound so different." The voice said.

"Who is this?"

"You hired a STRIPPER!" Blaise said, putting his hands on his face and laughing. "You guys are spoiling me" He joked.

Everybody laughed hysterically. The spotlight soon went onto Blaise.

"So, whose idea was this?"
"Ron"
"Harry" they said in unison.

"It was his idea" they repeated together once more. "We figured that this would be Blaise's boiling point. But I see he's enjoying this." Ron finally said.

...
"Draco stop it!" Hermione yelled, before pushing him away.

He laughed at how annoying he was being.

"I mean it" She said, dead serious. But Draco laughed at pulled her close once more.

She slapped him, for what was the sixth time in an hour.

He didn't stop, the side of his face was throbbing, but he didn't care. He grabbed her again and soon felt her pull him by his robes and fall against a pile of leaves.

They didn't realize that there was someone around until Draco pulled away forcefully.

"What-."

"Keep your filthy hands off of me!" Draco said, spitting on the floor.

Before Hermione came up with an insult, he realized why he had done it. She saw her friend, Ginny, looking at them.

"You're the one that kissed ME!"

"What are you? Four?"

Draco smirked before stomping off.

"MALFOY! Wait!"

Draco turned around and looked directly at Ginny. "What the bloody hell do you want?"
"Don't play stupid with me. I know about you two"
Hermione saw Draco's face get pale. "I don't know what sick fantasy are you dreaming about, but there is nothing between Granger and I"

Ginny smiled and folded her arms against her chest "Really, doesn't sound too convincing. So you're saying that you were not making out with her in that secret passage behind the library."
"What are you talking about?" He said, now getting nervous that their cover had been blown.

"Have no never noticed that it has a two sided mirror? All the first years' saw you two."

Hermione got up from the leaves and brushed the dirt off her robes. She felt embarrassed to find out that students had actually seen the two Heads together, making out.

"Don't play dumb with me!" She looked at Hermione "How could you not tell me?"
"I-."
"Because there's nothing to tell" Draco said, trying to save them.

"I was not speaking to you, Malfoy"

Hermione sighed. "Yes, Malfoy and I are together. But Ginny you cannot. I mean CANNOT, at all tell anybody"

"My lips are sealed. I cannot believe you didn't tell me" Ginny said getting excited.

Draco rolled his eyes at the over excited red head.

Ginny didn't tell anybody about Draco and Hermione. She was the only one that knew their secret.
...

"Honestly I don't know who you are"

"Merlin, this is going hard to understand. You're going to have to listen really carefully and really well"
"JUST TELL ME WHO YOU ARE!"

"It's me Ginny, Hermione."
