Authors notes: Phnxgrl: here is the second part of the story

Now my rant to zen04. Basically you are the reason why i didnt continue with this story. First off I had a full disclaimer that this was borrowed from a previous author. Furthermore I had full permission to copy from the said author. thirdly it should be noted that this is only the beginning of the story and lots of things are going to be similar in the very beginning but if you had read the original work you would realize as the story progressed i would have to make my own story line. You are an asshole. Now to others who want to critiqe me you are more then welcome to do so. What your not welcome to do is flame me.

September first came around very quickly, all too quickly, the eighteen-year-old blonde double checked his trunk making sure everything was packed before closing it, his eyes catched the ring on his finger. It had been a while since he had made his desires known to the ring when he had woken up the next morning the engagement ring had vanished like it was meant to., he wondered if it had got to its intended person though he hoped so.

"you are worried that the ring wont appear to who you desire most" the soft voice of his mother stumbled across his thoughts.

Draco meet her grey eyes concern showing in them, Draco nodded his head slightly at his mother in answer.

"As long as your feelings were true the ring would have found her, now are you ready."

"Yes mother" Draco said.

His mother smiled at him "Very well then, your father is waiting for us by the door."

They made there way towards the black door that lead to the entrance of the moanor.

As they approached the entrance Lucius said "Excellent now before we go do not forget that we are being watched very closely and every move we make will be looked as suspicious."

Draco sighed "I know father I understand my role I will make sure not to disgrace the family name."

Lucius nodded and they all apparated away to the destinantion near kings Cross station, silently they made there way through the muggles towards the station and the platform for the express itself. Draco looked around the platform for his fiancess. He was searching for a sea of red haired people that he knew she would be with but none were in sight.

"Draco there you are," Blaise said, "Morning Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy."

Narcissia and Lucius nodded at Blaise as Draco said "is there a reason you were looking for me?"

Blaise nodded "yeah the rest of the Slytherins are in the usual compartment waiting for you."

Draco rolled his eyes "They have queries"

Blaise let out a snigger "seems that way and the only reason I am not bombarding you with questions is because to save you from telling the story twice."

Drack shook his head at his at his best friend turing towards his parents nodding curtly n his father's direction

"We shall see you for Christmas," his father said.

His mother pulled him into a quick hug wishpering in his ear, "don't forget to invite your intended."

"I won't Draco whispered back.

Lucius looked at Draco sternly "remember to keep us update."

"of course father, now if you exuse us I believe my house needs to be informed of a few details, or I'll never hear the end of it."

"Draco levitated his trunk on board while blaise slides the door open and walked into the compartment.

"Is it true?" a females voice asked, "What skeeter wrote in the paper?"

Damn Skeeter and her article, she had run into them at a charity event and so to answer the question Draco held up his hand.

"Oh, it is, look at his ring," Milstrode pointed out, "so who is the lucky girl?"

Draco smirked in response but groaned as he heard a jealous voice.

"Oh please anyone with half a brain could work it out," Pansy spat "there is only one girl that Draco has been after for years."

Astoria rolled her eyes and said "So does this means we are going to have to play nice with the Gryffindors?"

"I never said that, " Draco said, "but my fiancée is defiantly off limits," he smirked at them all.

Satisfied they go about their own conversations and he sits down near Theo and Blaise.

"so have you seen her yet?" Blaise said.

Draco shook his head. "I looked for a sea of red when we got to the platform but didn't spot them"

"So any thing else you need to inform of us," Theo snapped.

"I would of informed you about this, if I had the chance" said an annoyed Draco.

Theo sighed "I know I'm sorry I snapped. I suppose she does need to know first after all."

Draco nodded and whispered "That's if the golden trio haven't worked it out by now. Hell Granger might of already worked the damn thing out by now because of that damn paper."

Hogwarts was in sight, the view was simply breath taking. Blaise nudged Draco indicating his head towards the crowd of student in front of them, he searched the crowd spotting her finally, he weaves his way through the slow walkers, heading towards his betrothed Blaise and Theo following him. The golden trio were busy in the conversation and he needed to catch Granger's attention. He sighed and pointed his wand at her feet and muttered a trip jinks towards her, causing her to stumble falling as her foot snagged the branch. Draco was close enough behind her that he reached out to catch her as he heard her friends call out her name.

"well Miss. Granger fancy meeting you here," Draco said straightening her up right again.

"Malfoy nice trip jink, couldn't think of a better way than to grab the attention of your fiancée."

He glanced at Potter and Wesley who were glaring at him. Damn that Skeeter women and the Daily prophet, but the word fiancée caught his attention she had got the ring and it had worked. Now he just had to get her to agree to his father's terms and conditions. For which he had no plan but being a true Slytherin he would be using that to his advantage.

Draco smirked "Well now that I have your attention."

"My attention, how am I meant to know if I'm your intended?"

"What are you talking about, you just said?"

"that I was your fiancée. No I said about grabbing the attention of your fiancée but we don't know who it is meant to be, you see Ginny and Luna got rings too , look." Ginny and Luna flashed a spitting cupy of the ring at him. What how was that possible?...a sly smile came across his face and he said "Granger your very smart but I am a snake. They're fakes, I could just remove them."

Hermione raised her eyebrow and smiled crookedly "well go on then Malfoy remove them."

He reached to pull the rings off both hands but they didn't budge. He frowned, how? They should remove easily. Why was it impossible to remove the fake rings? Theo whispered into Draco's ears "they must have cast some sort of charm on them."

Granger smirked "oh no Theo this was all Malfoy's doing."

Weasley then laughed "I for one was so looking forward to seeing you and introducing you to my parents but then I saw one of Hermione and Luna's finger. I wonder how many other girls got your ring Malfoy it is bad enough that I have to share my fiancée with two other people and I think you should know something right now I don't share very well.

What was he going to do if he couldn't reove the fakes to destroy them. He wanted to glare at Hermione. This somehow had to ber comeback for being engaged to him forcefully.

Draco let out a sigh "how do I remove the fakes? I for one do not want to go around upsetting a whole load of females."

Instead of answering his question she moves her hand, so it is in his reach, the engagement ring glistering on her finger. Draco sucks his breath, even with the fakes around you could still tell the original from the rest as it actually shines were as the other two didn't even sparkle in the light, relief hits him again thank merlin she had got it. He looked up at her questioningly her brown eyes are firm with determination.

"Remove the ring and I will tell you how the others can be destroyed."

What this was not how this was meant to go. Within the few minutes he had been talking to her and he was already coming across complications. He knew she wouldn't make his life easy but it wasn't meant to be this hard?

Draco sucked in his breath and said "No!"

Hermione glared at Draco "Then I wish you luck Malfoy because you wont get any help from us unless you remove the ring.

Draco panicked a little "Cant we at least talk about this and come to some arrangement,"

"Hermione glared at him "No I told you want I want, if you don't want to upset the female population of Hogwarts you best act fast."

And witht that she turns on her heals away from him, the youngest weasly and the lovegood girl following her to catch up he wonders just how many girls had copies of that damn engagement ring. Wanting to strangle his parents for even suggesting this in the first place he makes his way over to his friends to update them on the current situation.

Ginny let out a laugh "did you see his face when he couldn't pull of the ring

"ferret looked like a frog the way his mouth was opening and closing," Ron added

Hermione sighed "This is a silly idea.

Ginny shook her head "no its brilliant"

Ginny smirked "well we are gonna need a lot more girls willing to help us out. The two rings wont work at all for a distraction.

Ron scoffed "well I could always do the same ritual and then duel him to the death."

Hermione shook her head "you will not kill any one."

Ginny smirked "I am going to speak with the parvati twins and see who else we can round up. Malfoy had to of broken a few hearts surely."

Hermione frowned but before she could say anything Ginny rolled her eyes "revenge Hermione! If he has broken their heart why shouldn't they want some sort of pay back.

Hermione looked unsure but before she could said anything Ginny grabbed Luna and said "lets enlist the Ravenclaw.'

"So are we going to get the Slytherins involved? That would be the house with the most damage done by Malfoy," Ron pointed out before Ginny could leave

Ginny shook her head "true but we cant trust them with the knowledge of how the ring comes off. I think for now we play it safe. I'm going to speak with susan for a while see what favours I can call in from the Hufflepuff table."

As Ginny, Ron and Luna left Harry put his hand on Hermione's shoulders "Don't you think this is a little childish?"

Hermione sighed "I agree but you know Ginny, and if it stops Ron from doing a stupid move I am all for it."

Harry let out a sigh "Why not just talk to him. He might have feelings and this might complicate things with Ron, but it would be the right thing to do."

Hermione let out a weak smile "let them have there fun but eventually Ill have to talk to the great ferret."

Theo raised his eyebrows "They are up to something Draco. The youngest Wesley just went over to the Hufflepuff table and that Loony lovegood disappeared to the Ranveclaws."

Blaise pipped in "the question is what are they up to?"

Draco frowned "other than making my life hell?"

Pansy scoffed "Well they are a bunch of blood traitiors and Granger has been raised by muggles. How are they supposed to understand our ways?"

Draco looked annoyed "Careful pansy this is my fiancée your talking about."

Theo pipped in "This if it this way. She was raised by muggles she wouldn't understand the old traditions and customs. She wouldn't see the romance or your feelings behind this because of that. I am sure pansy didn't mean any offence. She is clearly indicating something you failed to have noticed.

Draco looked pissed "She hangs around the Weasleys and they are pureblood. Surely they know the old way!"

Theo let out a laugh "Do you really think the Wealseys would have told Granger about the Pure blooded traditions. She may of spent a lot of time with them but I do not think that their family is one of the old ways."

Draco shook his head "I knew I was screwed….but this."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As Ginny and Luna made there way back to the Grryfindor table smirking. She love causing mayhem but this was too good. It may not be exactly what Fred and George would of done but it was just as close.

Hermione saw the smirk on Ginny's face and sighed "I take it went well then?"

"Oh yes Malfoy doesn't even realise the storm that is about to come his way."
