A/N: Yeah Hi again. Im not going to sit here making up excuses about why I haven't updated in forever, instead I will be completely one hundred percent honest with you. I have lost all interest for this story and I have been focusing on writing other stories for you, my lovely readers to read. So Instead of a chapter you will now see a preview of what I have written for a future chapter. Seeing as I have no idea what to do with this story anymore I'll let you, the readers decide Should I stick with it and get to the end or should I leave up the chapters I have and hopefully you will all enjoy what I have so far. In order to do this I will now give you a preview of what I have written for when Bella is in forks. Enjoy, and I hope you will read the other stories that I will soon be posting. Thank you all so much for reading my story so far

Hermione turned to him and smiled. Her brown eye's searched through his cold Grey ones; she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty as she searched through his eyes, looking for the faintest hint of humour which would show her for sure that he was joking. He had insulted her for four years and here he was asking her to the Yule ball. Hermione cocked her head to one side questioning her thoughts. He loved Bella, and Bella had only been gone for a few months… so why was he asking her? He had told her enough times how he despised her, but here he was waiting for an answer. She could see how nervous he was, his eyes flickered from left to right, as though he wasn't sure of what to look at. But something told her that he wasn't joking… that he had perhaps… moved on from Bella? It was a stupid thought as she knew it but she had liked him since her first day at Hogwarts, no matter how horrible he had seemed. But as soon as he started flirting with Bella she had tried to hide her feelings. All she had ever wanted to do was be with him. Wind blew through the corridor blowing her hair around her face. She saw him smirk as she blushed and hurriedly tried to smooth her hair down. A wisp of his silky silver-blonde hair had been moved by the wind and she reached up a hand to move it out of his face. She froze halfway and looked down at the floor, her blush deepening as she realised what she had been about to do. She could feel his gaze on her and she tried not to look up. Her hand was still frozen in the air as he spoke
"Well?" He asked and she could hear the fear in his voice, the fear of being rejected
"Well what?" She asked. She glanced up again and slowly moved her hand back towards her. Draco stepped forwards until he was face to face… well nose to chest with her.
"Please Hermione, I know you're not stupid, you know exactly what I'm asking" As he spoke he placed a hand over hers which was still sort of frozen in the air
"What about Bella?" She asked in a near whisper not daring to look into his cold eyes.
"What about Bella?" He asked raising an eyebrow slightly
""Well I thought you were dating her"
"I was, but now she's in Forks, probably off with her secret mission" Hermione looked up in shock; his voice was full of hatred and sent chills down her spine. He hadn't even spoken that loud yet his low meaningful words sliced through the air as though he had yelled them.
"But I thought-"
"But nothing!" Draco silenced her. She could tell he had not been happy with this secret Mission Bella had been sent on. His voice was deadly and his eyes looked as if they dared her to say more... Despite all of her instincts she decided to ignore his interruption and carried on with what she had been about to say
"But I thought you loved her"
"Yeah well feelings change". This time his voice hadn't been as harsh, it sounded almost sad. As though he was grieving the lack of love he felt towards Bella at that moment in time. His face showed no emotion and his eyes had maintained their usual glare.
"Draco i…" Hermione trailed off, not sure what else she could say
"Look, I get it Hermione. You don't want to go with me"
"No… that's not what I was going to say"
He turned to look at her again and this time it was his turn to look confused
"But I thought" He started. Hermione ignored all the little voices in her head which screamed 'No don't do it! What about Bella!' and she looked Draco in the eyes and smirked
"I'd love to go with you Malfoy""
"Really" Draco asked in shock
"Yes" She smiled and hugged him and smiled before stepping away and walking around him to go to class
"See ya Granger" He smirked
"Back to last names again are we?" She teased him and ruffled his hair
"Hey, you started it" He protested trying to fix his hair again
"Yeah but I'm a girl, I can do whatever the heck I want" She grinned and walked away
"Hey Granger!" Draco called as she started to walk again
"Yeah?" She asked peering over her shoulder
"You're not that bad"

Hermione smiled as she walked into Charms class, she had been asked to the Yule ball by none other than Draco Malfoy, and she couldn't help but smile as she imagined the look on Pansy Parkinson's face when she entered the hall with him. She was so busy daydreaming that she didn't hear her two best friends enter the class room until they had sat down next to her
"Hey Mione" Harry grinned at her
"Hey harry" She replied "Asked anyone to the Yule ball yet?"Harry blushed and shook his head
"Don't worry mate, you'll get a date" Ron said "I mean you're Harry Potter for crying out loud!"
"Thanks Ron" Harry muttered smiling a little as Hermione rolled her eyes
"Honestly Ronald" She started "Harry isn't going to ask just anyone… are you?" She looked at Harry who was looking down at the floor
"Of course not" He muttered. Hermione smirked at Ron while he muttered about her being a kill joy know it all. Harry merely laughed at his two friends
"What about you Mione?" He asked
"What about me?" Hermione blinked
"Have you got anyone you want to take?" He asked making the 'you' more pronounced
"Yeah Mione" Ron added looking at the bushy haired girl as she tried to think of what to tell them
"Well…" She started unsure of what to say to them, they would probably kill her if they knew she was going to the ball with Draco Malfoy. They had been unsure of Bella dating him… and Bella was in forks waiting to come home and be with him again "No, no one I really want to ask" She said quickly hoping that the subject would move on
"Oh, I forgot to tell you but I got a letter from Bella… well we got a letter from Bella" Harry said taking a piece of parchment out of his bag and showing it to the others
"She can't wait to get back" Ron smiled "Good, I miss her… bet Malfoy does too". Hermione couldn't stand it anymore; she stood and ran from the room right as the teacher walked in
"Hermione!" She could hear Harry's voice following her. She stopped running and sat next to a suit of armour
"Over here Harry" She called back feebly
"What was that about?" He asked "Has someone done something?" Hermione smiled inwardly as his protective side showed but she couldn't fight the guilt that was building up inside of her
"Harry, I've done something terrible!" She cried hugging her friend
"Mione, whatever it is I'm sure it'll be okay" Harry mutter trying his best to comfort her
"No… I lied, I have been asked to the Yule ball" She muttered
"By whom?"
"someonewhoyoudon'twanttoknowabout" Hermione muttered
"Hermione tell me now" Harry said looking into her eyes
"Okay, but you have to promise that you won't hate me" Hermione begged
"I promise"
"Draco" Hermione said simply. She watched as Harry registered the information
"But he's with Bella!" He said surprised
"He doesn't love her anymore" She muttered "He said when she agreed to go to forks she said that she would probably fall in love with someone else and it crushed him… and he asked me to the ball" To her surprise Harry started laughing "Harry why are you laughing?"
"Because I know what he means" Harry smiled
"You do?" Now it was Hermione's turn to look surprised
"Yeah" Harry said "I wanted to get Bella back the other year but she liked Draco and I realised that I liked Ginny"
"Oh" Hermione muttered running a hand through her tangled hair, "well that changes things... doesn't it?". She looked at her best friend hoping that this did change thing, she liked the fact she had been asked to the ball. In her honest opinion she was nothing special and she was lucky to have one of the hottest guys in the school to ask her, she had always been slightly jealous of Bella when she was with Draco... but now it was her turn
