"Hello Harry, hello Ron." Hermione said cheerily as she made her way to a seat by Ginny. Her and Draco's engagement was the talk of the school, but it didn't bother her or Draco. She had gotten used to all the stares, points and rumors since she had been dating him.

"Hey Gin, what's up." she asked as she had a seat.

"Nothing much. How's Draco and yourself doing?" Ginny replied yawning.

"We're doing good. Just got the last of his stuff moved into my-err-our room." she responded putting breakfast sausage onto her plate.

"That's good. Can you believe that we only have two months of school left. You for good anyhow." Ginny said as she too, got began placing sausage onto her plate.

The two girls ate in silence for awhile, both finishing their plates. Neither had to say anything, silence wasn't uncomfortable between them. Harry and Ron came and joined them, started a little small talk and headed off to their first class.

"I'll catch you later Ginny, I'm going to go see what's taking Draco so long." Hermione called over her shoulder as she got up and left.

I wonder what could be taking him so long… she wondered to herself as she made her way to their room. As she neared the door she heard voices coming from inside. This is so déjà vu. she thought. As she reached for the handle, the door swung open to reveal a half-dressed Draco and a very guilty looking Pansy. Hermione stared at them, looking from one to another, trying to think of another explanation. This can't be happening again, she told herself She shook her head as the tears began to stream down her face, then she turned and ran.

Hermione walked up the Astronomy Tower staircase, like she had only weeks after the new school year. Why? Will I always be asking this question? Will this always be happening to me? she pondered bitterly, reaching the top. She walked towards the edge of the balcony, but was interrupted by footsteps.

"You know, if you jump, I'm going to follow, right?" Draco asked, looking forlorn.

"Go fuck yourself!" she spat back.

"Hermione please, just listen." he pleaded, sounding almost desperate.

"Sure, you're sorry, just like Ron was. Is that it? You think I'm going to take this bull shit!" she screamed.

"No. Please, just hear me out!" he begged desperately as she moved closer to the edge, "Pansy came in to see if I was awake and I hadn't gotten up yet so I was still in only my boxers and I told her to leave and she just laughed and then you came in!"

Hermione glared at Draco as tears began falling down his face, and she knew he was telling the truth. He really did love and was about to crack if she didn't move away from the edge. She threw herself at Draco and they held each other as both cried.

When Draco had calmed down, he lifted Hermione's face to meet his and kissed her gingerly on her head then her mouth. Hermione tried to say something, but Draco put his finger over her lips to shush her, as he already knew what she was going to say. Hermione had every right to be suspicious, and he knew it. That's why he wasn't mad at her response or actions.

"I love you Hermione." Draco whispered into her ear.

"I always love you, no matter what happens, and this time I mean it." she whispered back.
