A/N: Well, here's the third chapter, I'm SO sorry it's been so long but I don't have any free time because of school… (My teachers are on some serious crack with the homework they've been giving us…+ the IB (international Baccalaureate which DEATH!!!)
anyways… I'm trying to make it up by giving you guys at least one decent chapter… again sorry for the long wait… ; Mizukawa…
------------------------------
Recap: "No Hermione I-uh feel really guilty," Oh shit I knew it! "and I uh… um I-I should go, I'll uh see you at Mrs. Weasleys'…" and then he proceeded to run like a Death Eater out of Azkaban. I bet he does have a girlfriend… Why? Does that bother me?
Ugh… This is most definitely going to be an interesting day…
After I picked up mum and dad I proceeded over to the usual family-get-together. Mum and dad were having a blast with Ron's parents as per usual and I was trying at all costs to avoid Draco after this morning's… uh accident…
Unfortunately like all things I literally bumped into him in the kitchen…
"Oh, I'm sorry…"
"No I'm ugh Hermione?"
"Dra- Draco?! Blurg… Hi"
"H-hi…"
"…" Why does he have to stutter it's bad enough when I do it, but when the number 1 out of the top 25 most confident hot wizards (named by Witch Weekly…) stutters, it gets very concerning…
"So," he started, "um… you look ni-ice… A-as I-I-I s-said before I h-haven't seen you wear th-that in a while…"
I laughed lightly to his comment, he's stuttering more than Neville ever did!
"Y-yeah like I said, u-um Kaylee picked i-it out…"
"Like mother like daughter on taste wise." He smiled, I smiled back,
"So Draco… have you started dating yet?"
"No, just looking still…" oh so he doesn't have a girlfriend…
"Oh so- :sigh: this really isn't working is it? The small talk thing after-"
"No," he laughed, "not really" (A/n: just in case you missed it or forgot what happened… Draco accidentally walked in on Hermione naked… see chapter 2)
We both laughed for a while, then Draco brought up school when we were young, " Wow this reminds me of when I found out that Blaise and Millie were um… together."
"Why d'you walk in on them naked?" I smiled sarcastically
"Actually-" he cringed
"Oh, No way." I froze, oh, so that was what that fight in 7th year was about…
"Blaise did not speak to me for weeks… and poor Millie she blushed furiously whenever she saw me…"
"Oh… so that was what that was about…" I repeated except out lous this time…
"Yeah, I really get people at their most embarrassing positions don't I?"
"So it would seem…"
We stood looking at each other for a while, but then I heard a voice in the distance.
"Hello Hermione, oh you friend is here too. I just-" Viktor sighed
Draco made the one forgotten trademark Malfoy smirk, "No wait I'll leave." He made a brief smile towards my direction, " I'll see you later Hermione." And then turned back, "Just know if you hurt or cheat on her I'll kill you."
"Ro-Draco!" I did it again I almost called Draco, Ron again what's wrong with me, luckily the two boys were staring each other down with so much intensity they didn't notice.
"C'mon Viktor, let's take a walk." I asked sheepishly
"Ok Hermione," he smiled and Draco walked away, "Hermione you beautiful in that dress it reminds me of the Yule ball during the Tri-wizard tournament."
I blushed, wow I'm rusty, "Thank you Viktor, so um how's Quidditch lately?"
Viktor smiles, "It goes very well, our team will be playing the Chuddley Cannons next week."
"You don't say? You know my daughter is a huge fan of the Cannon's…"
"Ah, autograph?"
"That would be very nice of you, actually." I smiled… this is stupid what am I doing with an international Quidditch star? To be perfectly honest, it's nice having him here and all, but if I ever had to go on a date with him… alone… I'd freak out, completely and utterly just freak out…
"Hermione?" I snapped out of my train of that and looked directly at Viktor, "Yes sorry, um what did you ask me, I was just kind of lost in my own thoughts…"
"I think that maybe I'm not the right one for you." Viktor sighed
Well, that's different.
"You're friend the one who is similar to Ron? He seems more your pace, Truth be told I have been seeing someone else, are you angry Hermione?"
O…K… did we even have a date???????? Oh whatever I actually don't care… Draco was right; he's a total player…
"No, Viktor that's fine." I smiled trying not to laugh; "Friends?" we shook hands and then he gave me a huge bear hug, "Friends!"
After the bear hug, I wondered off and bumped into Draco… Again… Who was laughing hysterically, "Do not say a word." I giggled
"Believe me, I don't have to, I'm just glad you didn't get involved with him…" he paused trying to come up with an excuse, "You know for Kaylee's sake."
"Yeah, sure and seeing me naked had nothing to do with it." I smiled coyly
"Mrs. Weasley that is very inappropriate…" Draco laughed
"Shut up, you know for a Malfoy, you laugh a lot." He does! And he's making me laugh at lot, which is making me feel kind of dizzy, for some reason… Too much wine I guess…
"Yes, I actually realize that, but-" his voice faded and was repleaced with – well with Ron's
"hi Hermione."
"W-what?"
"It's- Ron you remember you're dead husband?"
I gaped, I see Ron, I hear Ron, it's only because tonight's the anniversary, that's it, that's all!
"No, not really, Hermione I need to talk to you… about so many things I didn't explain or even bothered about, Hermione?
"Hermione?" Draco looked worried, "You alright?"
"Yes, I'm-" I looked around for Ron but he wasn't there not anymore, "I just- nothing, Draco don't worry it's really nothing."
"I forgot you were this stubborn… Hermione I'm sorry about this…"
Last thing I remember seeing is both Draco and Ron, then I assumed I passed out. I assume this because I'm on a boat, with Ron, and he's smiling at me.
