Chapter 14: Forgive and Forget?

**present day**

what happened to Connor?" Rose asked on the edge of her chair. "How could Draco Malfoy do something like that? He had just ruined everything for you!" she said. Obviously Rose was just as upset as Hermione had been at the time.

"I know how you feel. I was ready to explode on him myself. "She said with a chuckle. "But he was only doing what he thought was right," Hermione said, shutting her eyes again.

"What do you mean by 'he was only doing what he thought was right?" Rose asked curiously.

"It will make sense in time," the old women said. "As for Connor-"she was cut off with a horse choke. She coughed until her throat was clear. Rose patted her on the back softly. Hermione saw the look of agony in Rose's eyes. It tore at her heart to see Rose so upset about her sickness. She did her best to ignore the throbbing pain in her throat, and to be strong for Rose. "As for Connor," she repeated, clearing her throat and taking in a deep breath. "You'll have to let me finish my story to know how things turn out,"

Rose nodded and handed her mother a glass of water. "Go on mother," she said.

***FLASHBACK***

"Connor wait!" I yelled, running down the hall after him. He didn't turn around. I started to catch up to him. I grabbed his arm and flew in front of him, blocking his path from leaving.

"I didn't plan for any of that," I said looking at him. He was looking at the ground.

"I thought you liked me," he said. "But obviously you have feelings for Draco," he said not tearing his eyes form the ground.

"No it's not like that at all," I said shaking my head vigorously, and trying to catch my breath. "I don't like him,"

"Well it sure seemed like it!" he said louder looking up at me. "You didn't stop him,"

"I was confused, and it was so sudden I-I …" I stuttered. "Please," I said softly. "I really like you Connor, and I don't want this to change anything. It was nothing,"

I DID like Connor. He was an amazing guy; he was sweet, handsome, charming, and funny. He was someone that I didn't want to lose, and Malfoy knew that. For once in my life, I had a relationship, and Malfoy had to come and destroy it. He would never change, he would always be that self centered person that was a thorn in your foot; if you ever wanted to take a step he would hurt you. But I knew that that the kiss didn't mean anything. I couldn't forget those fireworks the second he touched me, I was still light headed form the sudden heat. I couldn't think like that though. He had just ruined what I had with Connor for Merlin's sake! How could I be thinking of him while looking at Connors broken smile. Malfoy was off limits. I had to fix things with Connor.

"It really didn't mean anything?" he asked.

"Yes, it meant absolutely nothing." I lied.

"Ok," he sighed. I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"So you forgive me?" I asked leaning on one foot, biting my lip, and hoping not to squeal in excitement.

"Yeah I forgive you," he said.

"Yes!" I squealed. I pulled him into a hug. "I promise it won't happen again," I said next to his ear. My heart dropped as I made the promise. I knew my heart didn't want to make that promise, but I had to.

"Ok," he said.

"Are we still on for tomorrow?" I reminded him of our plan for tomorrow morning. I pulled away.

"Yeah, if you still are," he said with a shrug.

"Ok well I am, so I will see you at 8 o'clock sharp." I said. He nodded.

"I have astronomy class, so I will see you later,"

"Ok, see you then," he said and waved goodbye. He went around the corner and I let out a breath, and made my way back to the dormitory. Phew, that went better than I thought.

**In the library of the dormitory**

Luckily it was Wednesday today, so I didn't have Astronomy. The class was only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This meant that I had the rest of the day to plan for tomorrow…

Tomorrow would be my ultimate payback day, and I couldn't wait. Malfoy had earned everything that would be coming to him. I pulled out a sheet of parchment from my bag and laid it on the desk. I decided to make a list. It would hold everything that made Malfoy who he was today, and everything he loved. I pulled out a quill and dipped it in the thick ink.

1. Money

2. Golden Hair

3. Amazing not so amazing body

4. Stormy eyes

5. Flawless skin

6. Quidditch

7. Broomstick

8. Witches

9. Reputation

I admired my list. I mentally checked off a few in my mind that I had solutions for in my bag of goodies form Hogsmade. Those few that I checked off would have to be enough for tomorrow. I would have to make another trip to Hogsmade soon. The rest of the night I planned tomorrow's events. I had almost forgotten about my date with Connor. At the moment, my plan for revenge was higher up on my list. I drifted to sleep, hoping that my plans for tomorrow would work.

A/N: ok here is chapter 14. Got any guesses on what is going to happen tomorrow?? :D Now, I am thinking that next chapter will be a full flashback chapter, AND THEN I will tell you guys what's happening. Ha-ha But that's just a thought. Please review you guys because it makes my day!
