Wedding Blues
"Thanks to that jerk Draco I've eaten through 4 whole boxes of fruit loops all by myself. Married! HOW COULD HE GET MARRIED? I mean our kiss wasn't that bad. Was it? No I will not doubt myself for one more minute over that jerk. Ginny, you know what I'm going to do? Get a date! That is exactly what I'm going to do. I'll show him that he doesn't affect me at all!"
"Hermione are you sure you want to do that? We could just put the fruit loops away and go see a movie or go shopping. You know relax, clear our minds."
"DON'T TALK RATIONALLY WITH ME. I AM IN A CLEAR STATE OF CRAZY."
"I can see that…come on Hermione. Cheer up! It's been 24 hours since you've moved. Don't make me tickle you."
"Like that will work."
"Fine I'm bringing out the big weapons. Don't make me go to all the fashion boutiques downtown and try on all the latest shoes without you."
"You are cruel. Fine let's go."
"Not till you shower first…"
"Good idea."

Dear Mother,
I might have made a mistake. And I mean utterly life changing, biggest possible, basically a "I'm fucked" mistake. Now you know that a Malfoy admitting to making a mistake is a very rare thing. But here I am. Telling you quite clearly. I made a mistake. This mistake however can't be undone. Let me explain.
1. My First Mistake
I started dating a woman named Rachel that my father approved of but you, my mother, did not approve of. I should have listened to you. Father looked at her looks and social standing. You looked at her personality and realized she was rubbish. A pretty face but she was ugly on the inside.
2. My Second Mistake
I asked Rachel to marry me. I thought I could grow to love her and maybe then father would respect my choices. As you know father passed away days after our engagement was announced. I suspect he died happy thinking I wouldn't tarnish the bloodline. I was stuck in a relationship with a person I didn't love.
3. My Third Mistake
I broke off my engagement to Rachel. I was wrong in thinking I deserved anyone else.
4. My Fourth Mistake
I started dating. Then I made a big mistake. I kissed Hermione Granger. Yes muggleborn Hermione Granger, the girl who I tormented all through school. The one person who I disliked more then Potter.
5. My Fifth Mistake
I am a coward. I fell for a girl and let her get away. I hid from her and now I'm engaged once more to Rachel.
Now mother I know all of these mistakes are my fault and no one else's but I just thought you would understand better then anyone else.
Sincerely,
Draco

"Draco darling?"
"Yes Rachel?"
"You seem awfully depressed."
"I am."
"Tell me. What's the matter?"
"Nothing dear."
"Then why are you depressed? We are getting married! Isn't that fabulous?"
"STOP SAYING FABULOUS. NO IT'S NOT FABULOUS."
"DRACO WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU?"
"YOU! ALWAYS BOSSING ME AROUND. ALWAYS SPENDING MONEY LIKE THERE ARE NO LIMITS. NEVER SPENDING ANYTIME TALKING TO ME ABOUT ANY IMPORTANT TOPICS. IT'S ALWAYS GOSSIP AND CLOTHING AND THINGS YOU JUST HAVETOHAVE. I'M SICK OF IT."
"…oh Draco….I'm sorry you feel that way….maybe I can make it up to you?"
"Rachel please don't."
"ok. If that's what you want. I'll leave you alone…" Rachel broke down sobbing.
"Please don't cry Rachel. I'm sorry. I guess its just pre-wedding stress getting to me."

"TWO BLOODY WEEKS. THEY ARE GETTING MARRIED IN TWO WEEKS! BLAISE WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?"
"Well I don't think it's a good idea if we interfere anymore. We know Hermione was already hurt and Draco probably is hurting too. But if they don't work it out themselves at that wedding when they ask who objects we bloody do."
"I feel so bad for Hermione. We went shoe shopping and we walked past the bridal shop and she literally was fighting back tears."
"Once all this is over I'm going to kick Draco's ass no matter what girl he chooses."
"Promise?"

I saw her for the first time since we kissed. It's funny how I've gone to the same gym for a year and I never realized she went there as well. I was on the top floor that over looks the squash courts below. I was on the treadmill when I looked down and saw her with some man playing. She was laughing and looked like she was having a great time. I knew I had no right to be jealous but I was. She looked beautiful and I couldn't help but wonder if she had completely forgotten about me. I almost threw my water bottle at the man she was playing with when he had the nerve to hug her. I knew I had to get out of their before I attacked him or worse let her see me. So I headed down the stairs not really careful of where I was going when I crashed into someone. I dropped all my stuff and I bent down to get it when I realized she had come off her court to see what had happened. I looked into her eyes and I saw her smile drop. I wanted so badly to go over to her. I knew I shouldn't have but I did.
"Hello Hermione."
"Hello Draco."
"I didn't know you played squash."
"Since third year."
"Oh. How are you?"
"Fine. You?"
"Fine."
"How's Rachel?"
Bitchy. "Fine"
"Good."
"Hermione can I talk to you?"
"I believe that is what we are doing."
"I mean in private. Where no one else can overhear."
"I don't think my boyfriend would like that."
"Boyfriend?"
"Yes." "Adam come meet my old schoolmate Draco."
"Hello Draco."
"Adam."
"Adam would you mind if I took Hermione for a second just to talk to her."
"Sure mate."
"Draco I'm sure whatever you have to say you can say it in front of my boyfriend. As far as I'm concerned we have nothing to talk about."
"You're right. Sorry I bothered you."
"Hey Mione. What was that about?"
"Oh nothing Adam. He's just some jerk."
"Oh well then lets go work on your drop shots again."
