Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose, you can't have everything
Don't you take chances, you might feel the pain
Don't you love in vain 'cause love won't set you free
I could stand by the side and watch this life pass me by
So unhappy, but safe as could be

Disclaimers: See, I can never own Harry Potter. I'm still very young. Okay?

A/N: Hi guys. Thanks for those who read Chapter 3. Wonder why I upload this soon? It's because I am depressed. You see, I saw this guy who I hadn't seen for four years. My first love There, I said it. Guys maybe you haven't realize how people change so fast. We all changed. Even I. Even you. So, we just looked at each other. We both didn't know whether there were still things left to say. We both walked different ways. I'm so emotional. Whatever. Well, I won't keep you long. Go on and read.

The day after that…..

"What do you mean? I thought I told you yesterday-" Draco said. He was currently talking on the phone with his secretary. He was keeping any eye at Hermione, who was currently choosing between a pink or red toothbrush.

"No sir, you told me last week that-" The secretary tried to explain but Draco cut him off again.

"Last week. Last week? I specifically told you yesterday to reschedule that! I called you. Now, don't reason to me that I didn't tell you yesterday." Draco said, now losing his temper.

"But sir you told me-"

"I just told you not to reason to me again, didn't I? Do you want to get fired? Now, ready the conference room. I'll be there at 30." He said. He was really bloody mad. No- bloody stressed. Hermione looked at him and smiled. He unknowingly smiled back.

Hermione curiously looked at the small blue pack. She touched it but Draco slapped her hands away from that thing and gave her a looked like she was out of her mind. He held her hand and pulled her toward the cashier.

They were in a grocery shop to buy Hermione all the things she needs. Or let's just say wants. Okay, so Draco was spoiling Hermione. 'I just want to make it up with her.' Draco thought.

After Draco paid for the foods and things Hermione picked, he carried it towards his car compartment. He kept on checking his watch. 7 minutes before his meeting. Oh bugger. Once settled inside the car, he secured the seatbelt on Hermione.

"We're going to my office first." Draco announced once they hit the road. Hermione just nodded absently. He looked at her; she was wearing a floral dress and a pair of sandals that his secretary picked for her. Her hair was in a ponytail. 'She looked-beautiful' Draco thought. Well, she was always beautiful even when they were young. But really, it was not the reason why he fell in love for her before. It was because; well he didn't really know why he fell in love for her. It was simply love that brought her to him.

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
'Cause I'm just trying to be happy, ya
Just wanna be happy, ya

"Adrian is the conference room ready?" he asked his assistant, Adrian, while buttoning his business suit.

"Of course, sir." Adrian politely answered. Draco only nodded. He jerked his head towards Hermione, pointing her to Adrian.

"Keep an eye to her, if she's not here when I come back, you'll be dead, understand?" He said and looked at him with his eyes that promised threats.

"Yes sir. I'll even entertain her."

Draco eyed him before walking towards Hermione.

Hermione looked up when she noticed the man walking towards her. He kneeled in front of her.

"Just wait here, okay? Adrian will be here to help you with anything you need. It'll be very quick. Be good, okay?" The man said. He said it slowly and very gently. His eyes showed a lot of patience towards her. She only nodded. He was about to stand up when she reached for his hand and stopped him from standing. Hermione brushed away the fallen hair on his face.

"There." She said and smiled at him.

Merlin. This was the second time in six years that she did that to him. "Thank you." Draco said. He meant it. With all his heart. He thanked her. He thanked her for coming back into his life even though she didn't remember anything at all. He thanked her for once again letting him feel something besides emptiness. He thanked her for everything. For a chance of being happy even though he knew that it wouldn't last long. Sooner or later she would remember everything. Sooner or later, he would be alone again. He wasn't ready for that. Not yet. He held her hands and stood up. He squeezed it before letting it go and walked away.

Holding on tightly, just can't let it go
Just trying to play my role, slowly disappear, oh
But all these days, they feel like they're the same
Just different faces, different names, get me out of here
But I can't stand by your side, oh no
And watch this life pass me by, pass me by

After 3 hours…

Draco walked out of the conference room. The meeting was, as always, successful. All thanks to Draco. He looked down to the lobby and quickly saw Hermione. Wait-she wasn't alone. She's with him. He quickened his pace and in no time, he was in the lobby, but of course, he had to keep his calm composure.

Hermione was laughing with Daniel. The man who kept trying to bring him down. He and his business. Daniel, the man who wanted to get everything from him.

He walked towards them with his hands on his pockets. "Hermione," He said, indicating his presence. Hermione finally looked at him and stood up. "Hey," she greeted him. "Uhmm. I was just talking to him. He's Daniel." She said slowly to ease the awkwardness. She was quiet unsure why he was upset. She could see it in his eyes.

Draco wrapped his arm protectively around Hermione's waist. "I know him. Right, Mr. Meyer?" Draco said, looking at Daniel like he was just a pest, a very dangerous pest. The man with the brown hair equally looked at him with his hazel eyes. "Of course, Mr. Malfoy. But you see, I was just asking this fine lady here to have lunch with me. Is that alright with you?" Daniel said, feigning politeness.

"No. Is that alright with you? But really, I forgot I don't care whatever you want. Now, if you'll excuse us." Draco said with venom on his voice. They started to walk away when Daniel said,

"I'll see you around, Hermione."

Hermione looked back and smiled at him, and then she reached for Draco's out stretched hand.

"I forgot to tell you not to talk to strangers." Draco said. They were currently in a restaurant having their late lunch.

"He's not a stranger. He politely asked me if he could sit there and of course I said yes." Hermione reasoned out.

Well, they had been in that subject since they got there. Draco was very worried. He didn't want Hermione talking to strangers, especially if the said stranger held a grudge against him.

"Anyways, it's not too late to remind you, isn't?" He said while filling Hermione's plate with rice.

"Hey! It's too much. I can't finish that all." She protested while trying to stop Draco.

"Look at you. You're so thin. You have to eat in order to be strong again." He said, satisfied that he was able to fill her plate. "Anyway, as I was saying, don't talk to anyone you don't know."

"I don't know anyone. Does that mean I won't talk until I remember everything?" She challenged him

"Ha-ha. Very funny." He glared at her.

"What about you? Should I talk to you also? You know that I don't know you, right?"

"Well, I'm the only exception." He smirked at her.

He missed those conversations he had with her before. Like this conversation. Well, he missed her. Even before, they were always like this. Having witty conversations until one gave up. He simply missed her. Now that she was here, he wouldn't let her go. He just wanted to be with her. She was his happiness.

He remembered the conversation he had with Dr. Forbes at the hospital.

"She is different." Dr. Forbes said all of a sudden.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked. He was scared that Dr. Forbes found something unusual about Hermione; He just hoped it was not what he was thinking about.

"Well, for starters, patients who just woke up from coma don't usually wake up calm. You see, Hermione was calm when she woke up. Did she scream at you? No. Was she shocked? No. Did she ask questions? Yes."

"What's your point?" He asked, now also puzzled.

"My point is, she trusts you. Did you think she would just simply agree to come with you? I don't think so Mr. Malfoy. She doesn't remember anything and yet, she trusts you, Mr. Malfoy, the guy you claimed she hates. I think she somehow knows in her heart that she can trust you."

And with that, Draco was silent. Does he really deserve her trust after all the tears that she cried for him? Could he really let her go when the time comes? Could she forgive him? Could he forgive himself? He really didn't know, but he was sure of one thing. He would be brave for her. He wouldn't let what happened 6 yrs. ago be repeated. He wouldn't let her down

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground?

I gotta find my place, I wanna hear my sound
Don't care about all the pain in front of me
I just wanna be happy, oh, yeah, happy, oh, happy
I just wanna be, oh, I just wanna be happy
Oh, happy
