bonjour!

this will probably be the last update for quite a long while ( longer than my usual hiatuses) due to the fact that my last year of schooling has unfortunately arrived and well... the time has come where I need to decide my outlook on life and make some of the most important choices of my life in order to give myself a concrete starting for the future

wow that sounded really intellectual and smart... -.-

anyways

this chapter again as have the last few chapters was developed through the brain power of one of my best friends

enjoy lovely people who live in this world

tell me what you think:D

and have fun

By dinner time Hermione was happy. Sure things where still majorly confusing but after an hours long chat cuddled on the couch in their shared common room, and in between soft caresses and gentle kisses, Draco had promised he would help her see it through. So no longer feeling like she was alone in the world Hermione and Draco made their way down to the great hall.

At the entrance they quickly slide into a dark alcove.

Draco gripped Hermione's hand with one of his and brought the other up to her cheek. "I'll see you after dinner okay." He whispered in her ear. "Just try to ignore him."

Hermione nodded slightly and smiled at him when he pulled back.

"Thank you" she said quietly and leant forwards to kiss his cheek. She then slipped out of the alcove and headed into the great hall.

A few seconds later, so as not to cause suspicion Draco slipped out after her.

In the great hall Hermione walked up the middle isle reaching the benches upon which sat Harry, Ginny, Neville and Ron.

She gave a quick hello to all of them without looking anyone in the eye before seating herself down between Neville and Ginny. She felt extremely tense till Ginny leaned over and gripped her arm and proceeded to plead.

"Hermione, thank god you're here. Okay I need your help, like immensely. I haven't written my essay for potions, it's on the draught of living death. See the thing is, is that I missed the lesson where we made it so I don't even really know what it looks like and what could go wrong or anything! Can you help me? Please oh please say yes."

"Um..." astounded by the sudden normality Hermione stuttered her reply "s...sure, of course"

"Great!" Ginny said grinning before turning to face harry in front of her. "See I told you!" she poked out her tongue in his direction.

Hermione began putting food on her dinner and had just picked up her fork when she felt something pinch her bottom.

She yelped slightly her fork clattering to the ground. She turned and came face to face with Draco.

He smiled teasingly as they both bent to retrieve the cutlery "see you in the common room in 20." He whispered in her ear and bit down gently chuckling at Hermione's squeak of surprise before standing and walking off.

"Git!" Ron grunted shuffling his food around his plate.

Hermione cleared her throat pointedly and began eating.

"It's true, he's a fat pig is what he is. He doesn't deserve you!"

Hermione slammed her cutlery down and stared outraged at him. "Oh and I suppose you think you do?"

"Well, yeah." He said in a direct manner "that's what's expected Hermione, you're mine."

At this Hermione stood in frustration.

"I AM NOT ANYONES YOU ARSEHOLE." She yelled. "AND LEAST OF ALL YOURS, YOU ARE THE GIT RONALD, YOU'RE THE SLIMEY WORM, THE NUT CASE, THE SORE LOSER, AND YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SICK OF YOU!"

Ron stood up as well attempting to use his height as dominance.

"Yeah, well at least I'm not a Slytherin scum bag."

"oh really, is that what you think, let me tell you something Ronald Billius Weasley, you are the ONLY scum bag, you are a filthy creature who goes around whoring any female in sight, at least Draco has given his word that he will be FAITHFULL and not a bloody cheat!'

"Oh Draco oh Draco!" Ron mimicked in a high pitched voice. "Bite my arse Hermione, the dudes a user, he probably just wants you to slither into his bed and then will toss you out, and then who's going to clean up your mess hey? You'll come crawling back to me begging for forgiveness like you're meant to."

Furious Hermione whipped out her wand.

"I don't know what the hell has gotten into you Ronald but I swear one more word and you'll regret it." She threatened gritting her teeth.

"Yeah, well I bet his mother regrets him he should have never been born! Ruddy ferret."

"That's it!" Hermione cried, but before she could form a curse, harry stood and pushed Ron down.

"Okay, I'm sick of this Ron shut your mouth unless you've got something nice to say, and Hermione." Harry sighed. "Look just… maybe you should cool off or something, why don't you take some food and go eat it elsewhere."

"NO," Ron suddenly yelled. "You know what stuff this I'm going." And with that he got up from the table and stormed out of the great hall.

Hermione turned to look behind her to find Draco. His seat was empty. Thinking that he had gone to the common room already she got up and excused herself apologising for her behaviour.

She then left the hall and climbed to her rooms, at the portrait she offered the password. "The hours in between" and it swung open to reveal a room that had been overturned.

Startled Hermione stepped through the portrait hole.

The room was a mess, utter chaos everywhere, and Draco was nowhere to be seen

"Draco." She called out…nothing.

"Draco!" she tried again a little louder. She walked forwards and her feet stepped in something slippery she looked down, a small pool of blood coated the floor beneath her shoe. Hermione's breath caught.

"DRACO!" she screamed and turned for the door in panic.

hope it was good and up to scratch if not then feel free to tell me
