Here is the next chapter. Im really sorry its taken me this long but i've been busy. this last week i have been so tired. I was going to update the other day but i was actually falling asleep at the computer. this last week has been hell. I am really tired right now but i felt so bad about not updating i had to put something up here. This isnt the whole chapter but its a small portion of it. Its really short. But at least its something. Im gunna try really hard to get more up in the next couple days.

Also. i would like to say something about my last update. I dont care for Flames but when you flame me 3 or 4 times saying the same thing is pretty sad. and if you have to read 11 or 12 chpaters to figure out you dont like it then dont even bpther to flame. its not worth it. Now i would think people here would figure out they dont like a story after like 4 or 5 chapters.

Maddie F earned my respect. To come back and retaliate to what I said shows shes not some pussy whipped bitch (sorry about my language.) who is set on shooting down stories. I know my story isnt the best but its my first one. Give me a break. I know in a year or two im going to come back and yell at myself for being such a horrible writer but right now this is all I can do. Now If maddie actually signed in or whatever I could tell this to her face but she has been set on reviewing anonymiously (?). So maddie if you read this you have my respect. I have never read any flamer who has come back and responded to an authors thoughts. I love your enthusiasm for being a hater of my story. And i dont care whether I piss you off or not by posting. You basically told me you want me to stop updating this story and I know when I do you dont like it. It must get you mad at least the tiniest bit because you keep coming back to tell me how much my story sucks. Newsflash. Thats fucking great I like it and apparently so do other people. If you want to yell at me more then sign in and tell me so I can tell you these things to your face.

Ok enough of my rambling here's the chapter.

Hermione looked at him like he just said he was becoming a death eater. All of a sudden she started to laugh.

"Draco, don't be silly. Ginny's my friend, she's hated you as long as I have. I know you're afraid to tell me but there's no need to lie to me." Hermione looked into Draco's eyes and realized they were filled with confusion, sadness, and fear.

She stopped laughing. "Draco, you weren't lying were you?"

He shook his head. "No. I wasn't."

"Oh." Hermione looked straight ahead of her, looking like she was in some sort of a daze.

"Listen Hermione, I'm sorry. But I loved her. I know you don't want to know this but I've always loved her. I thought I was in love with her but after a while I got over her. I still love her just as a sister. I know you don't like that we were once together but I can't change the past. Are you still mad at me?" Draco looked at Hermione. Her face was pale and emotionless. Her eyes were empty. She didn't even answer she just kept on looking straight ahead of her.

"Hermione? You ok?"

"I have to go. Bye. She got up and left without another word.

ok there is part of it. now go review. Please!
