Here is the next chapter, enjoy!
D. M. P. O. V.
I saw him staring at her in shock and move towards the stairs where she would get off the stage.
The song is amazing even though I know she is still very upset with me. I know she'll forgive me though. It's in her nature.
He is still staring and I dislike him more and more.
Something needs to be done before he gives away everything I have worked so hard for.
H. G. P. O. V.
Tears spring into my eyes as I bring my shaking hands to my lips.
"No, no Neville I'm not."
The look of awe and shock are combined on his face. The baby fat was gone and he stood about a foot taller than me. With his chest showing through his tight V-neck t-shirt, and boy, did he have a chest! His shoulders were back and he had an air of confidence that he had never had in school. He look at me as he would if he had just seen his mother and father tell him they were alright and that Santa Clause did exist in one breath.
He pulled me in for a tight hug and then, suddenly, he pushes me forcefully back.
"What book did the supposed Professor Moody give me in forth year?" His eyebrows draw together as he glares at me.
"What? What are you talking about?"
"I'm finding out if you are the real Hermione or a fake."
"I don't remember I only borrowed it one time, there was something about plants in water or something." I am racking my brain for.
"Think hard" he said as he pulled out his wand and pointed it at me threateningly.
"Um, ah water, no, uh properties of, no that's not it. Oh! Magical Mediterranean Water-Plants and their Properties!"
That's it isn't it?
He grins and pulls me into a bone crushing hug lifting me off my feet like rag doll.
"Nev can-t b-reath!" I gasp out.
"Oh jeeze I'm sorry!" He drops me and as I hit the ground my knees give way and I fall to the ground landing with an 'omph'.
"I am so sorry Mione, I just can't believe you are alive." He says as he helps me to my feet.
"Yah, what's with that? You are the second person to say I was dead, why did you guys think I was dead?"
"Well you kind of freaked out on us remember?"
"Nooo? Hey let's head outside its pretty crowded."
"Alright."
We head out to an alley behind the club I lean against the wall and he stands in front of me.
"What do you mean I 'freaked out'?"
"Well you ran around the Great hall screaming about how you had to leave and when we got close to you, you pulled out your wand and said 'will cursing the dead hurt them?' And then fled the great hall. We found you in the forbidden forest later, you were dead and the last spell on your wand was Avada Kedavra. We assumed it was a suicide. I'm so sorry I should have known." He looks at me with tears forming in his eyes.
I take his hand and encase it in mine.
"It's not your fault. I don't know what to make of this. I'm so confused."
"Hermione what is one thing that you remember after the battle? I think if we go back in your memory we can get to the bottom of this."
"Well, I remember there were bodies everywhere and Ron and I were sitting at the Slytherin table and everyone was crying and quiet."
"Wait Hermione, Ron wasn't with you he was with his family the whole time, you were with Fluer and she told you she was pregnant."
"No I wasn't, I was with Ron, I remember him rubbing my back in, in small, in small circles."
My eyes go wide and my hand flies to my mouth as it falls open in shock.
Draco had something to do with this!
I am pulled out of my thoughts by Neville coughing loudly and then gasping, he starts to shake, I rush to him, "Neville? What's wrong are you ok? Speak to me Nev!" He slides down to the ground when I hear someone rushing to us.
It Draco "Hermione, are you ok? Oh god I thought I saw someone cast a spell out here they must have been aiming at you, take my keys and get in the car! I'll apparate him to Saint Mungos!" He throws his keys at me and disapparate.
I rush to the car unlock it and slide in. I lock the doors again and slide down to the floor.
A few hours later I heard the car door open and close and we began driving. I was nodding off from pure mental and emotional exhaustion. I feel that we have parked and then someone is caring me into a house laying me down and wrapping me in a blanket.

I should've done that. I can't keep up with this scheme, I can't take this out on her, and it's not her fault. I need her, and as much as she won't admit it, she needs me too. Maybe, I was wrong...
H. G. P. O. V.
When I wake I look around and notice I'm not in my hotel room, and that this bed is heaven. I glance around and see draco sitting in a chair his chin on his chest mumbling to himself.
I smile at the sight first and then remember what happened last night. I grab a pillow and chuck it at him. He jumps yelling and gets his foot caught on the leg off the chair, causing him to trip and fall.
"Wha? Wha happen? Wha's goin on?" He mumbles out.
"You are an arse!" I screamed at him flinging another pillow.
"Come on was that really necessary? Oh and Longbottom is going to be fine he was hit with Mucus Adnauseam Tria. It was a close call for a bit."
I nod slowly, " that's great Malfoy, I'm happy he's doing well, but why am I here? In case you couldn't tell from yesterday, I am not your biggest fan."
"I know that and I have some explaining to do and I will, I swear I will but only after the slumber party. Ok?"
I cross my arms and pout about not being explained to right away, and having to still host that dreaded slumber party.
