As Hermione pondered her clothing choices she had upon her bed, Harry and Ron entered her room. Harry and Ron, never having seeing Hermione's room with clothes thrown around were a bit worried, and afraid she had gone mad.

"Um, Hermione are you alright?" Ron asked. Hermione gave them a puzzled look.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" she said, then she realized what they were looking at. She laughed. Harry and Ron were in a state of shock, they hadn't heard Hermione laugh truly in so long, it was a forgein sound to them. "Oh that. I have a date." she said simply.

"With who?" asked Harry.

"With Draco." Hermione said happily. Harry and Ron looked at each other nervously.

"What?" Hermione asked.

"Maybe you should sit down Hermione." Harry warned. Hermione looked at him.

"Harry, what do you mean?"

"Just do it." Ron commanded. Hermione sat down on the bed.

"Now Hermione, we've heard some things about Malfoy." Harry started and paused "Bad things." he said.

"Like what?" she asked.

"That he's engaged to Pansy." Ron said gently, expecting Hermione to break down and cry. Hermione instead laughed.

"Oh that's a good one Ron." she laughed. Harry and Ron looked at each other and then at Hermione.

"We're serious." Harry said. Hermione shook her head.

"No, Harry, he remembers." she said cheerfully. "Besides Draco would've told me."

"He's a Slytherin! They all lie!" Ron stated. Hermione glared at him.

"I had his children! I think I know him better than you do!" she shot back. "You just don't know him."

"Maybe he just acted like that! Maybe he only wanted to tie up loose ends so he could move on. He'll only leave you cold and alone!" he paused. "We're only trying to save you from getting your heart broken again!" Ron defended. Hermione ignored them and went back to deciding what to wear.

"Fine then, let's go Ron." Harry said after a while. "She won't listen." Ron nodded sadly and they headed out the door. When they did Hermione then considered what they had said. She had seen them together quite a lot. They weren't kissing or holding hands or anything...so they couldn't be together, could they? After a minute of thinking Hermione went back to picking out an outfit and hurried to get ready for her date.

"Okay open your eyes." Draco said and Hermione gasped. It was just like their first date. A midnight dinner on the lake. She grinned. He was always a romantic at heart, and she had a good feeling she was getting her Draco back. After they had settled in, they started to talk.

"So what do you do?" she asked.

"I work in the ministry, when spells go wrong and it might not just be an accident. A sort of CSI person for the magical world." Hermione nodded.

"I write books." she said simply.

"Would I know any?" he asked. She started to rattle off various books that were bestsellers. Draco's eyes went wide.

"YOU wrote those?" Hermione blushed a bit.

"Uh huh. Is it that shocking?" Draco smiled a bit.

"Now that I think about it, no. I should've expected it from you." Then a silence fell over them. Hermione took a deep breath.

"Draco, where is this going to go?" she held her breath. The make or break question.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I'm not saying we go get married, or engaged for that matter. Do you want to be a couple or friends or what?" she explained. He paused.

"I don't know Hermione." he said quietly. Hermione nodded. "Let's just see where the night takes us okay?"

Dinner went smoothly from there. Hermione could see that the Draco she knew that year ago had come back and her heart had hope. They laughed as the stars shined and the wine ran out. Giggling, they stumbled back into Draco's room and talked for a while. Hermione then noticed a picture that she was sure wasn't there yesterday. Her eyes went wide.

"Draco, look, it's us." she said. They wouldn't looking at the camera, it was like they didn't know the camera was there. Hermione and Draco seemed to be laughing at something very funny as they tumbled through the snow. Hermione touched the picture and held it out to Draco. He studied it and smiled.

"Dumbledore, no doubt." he said.

"He does seem to know everything huh?" she laughed as Draco led her to her room. He kissed her hand.

"Would you go out with me on another date Hermione?"

"I would love another date with you." she said grinning and closed the door and slid down it to the floor and sighed.

Perfect.

Hermione then realized she forgot her purse on Draco's desk. She laughed at her foolishness and then went next door. The room was oddly silent she noticed. She figured Draco had gone to bed, so she would have to tip toe in, grab her purse and go back to her room. But when she carefully opened his door she saw the sight that broke her heart.

Draco Malfoy was kissing Pansy Parkison.

Her eyes started to fill with water as the sickening thought came to her. Harry and Ron were right, Draco did just want to tie up loose ends. She felt stupid and she felt used. She could see Pansy looking at her with smirking eyes. When Hermione finally was able to move she tripped and fell, causing Draco to notice.

"Hermione!" he said, tearing his lips from Pansy. "Let me explain." Hermione only shook her head as she got up.

"Once a Slytherin, always a Slytherin" she said sadly and she ran out of the room and out of the castle.

And out of Draco's life forever?

First off, I'm so sorry this is coming out way late! I'm now on summer break so these will hopefully get out sooner! I know this one sucked majorly. I'm sorry but I needed to have that ending!

DUN DUN DUN! I am sadden to say that this story will be over soon but The Question is:

Should the sequel still be within this story? The sequel will be a sequel, it'll just be two stories in one.

Think about it. Remember review!
