Chapter 51 - 'Chance'

Hannah's P.O.V.

What the actual hell?

Someone must of told Umbridge yesterday, there was so many people in there I wouldn't be surprised.

'This is so bloody annoying' I whined as Pansy looked at me.

'The magic will get better- You mean this don't you' she started, techniquely it was meant for both but she was right still. I dropped my hands and looked at her.

'Blaise warned you Hannah, of course I won't snitch but what ever you are doing or going to do. Be flippen careful' she replied as I looked at her.

'I can't see how Hogwarts can change back' I replied truthfully. Pansy looked down.

'I can't lie, Umbridge has really fucked things up' Pansy muttered as she eyed up the letter I had forgotten about. I looked at it, was it going to be a soft no and an explanation, of a bold simple yes. I think she was still away from the burrow.

'Open it' said Pansy impatiently. I took a breath opening the letter as I removed it quickly opening it as I skimmed the long text. Here we go,

To my darling Hannah,

I have missed you all so much. The house is quiet for once. We haven't returned to the burrow yet but it is nice here in the middle of London. It has been nice staying with Auntie. As for your letter, well you know what our first response would be and this is what your farther and I believed for the first part of yesterday however, we are aware of the Malfoy Christmas/Winter ball. It is popular in the ministry dad says, we know Draco will protect you. However we are still worried, we fortunately for you got a letter from Narcissa Malfoy. Despite our family differences she was actually quite polite, and informed me how you will be safe under her protection and that nothing will happen, which I believe we think it too open and too soon for any family wars . So as much as I hate to say this ( sorry sweetie it still worry's me) you are able to go to the Winter Ball with Draco. I won't be surprised if your Siblings think you as well as me are crazy I know people here are crazy for letting me say you can go. But you wouldn't have trust in him for no reason and you are one bright powerful witch! She informed me you would stay the night ( in separate rooms of course ) , dad will pick you up the following morning. I hope you are happy Hannah. Continue learning your magic, I love you. I will see you when you return to the burrow for Christmas. Please don't do anything I wouldn't do. We love you !

Love, mummy and daddy xxxxxxx

' so what does that mean' Pansy asked, I looked at her she had covered the whole ' auntie' thing.

'Basically she's confident about my safety, happy that I won't end up sleeping in the same bad as Draco and do something she wouldn't do meaning, she wouldn't let Umbridge go without something happening to her.' I replied skimming through the letter. Not 100% correct. She basically is still at Grumbridge place, everyone there though thinks we are crazy, she doesn't think Voldemort will return that quickly/in a large place and that well she wants me to slap Umbridge. ( a little landless hex wouldn't hurt).

'So you can go, well I think Draco will be happy, maybe not about the whole not sharing a bed thing though... ' Pansy said happiness filling her face as she smirked teasingly. I nodded smiling but instantly shook my head. Please,

'What, your nearly 16. I'm surprised you haven't done anything. You would be surprised how quick the levels can escalate in just two weeks' Pansy replied confused. It was true we had done nothing but I was happy I still felt like a child I wasn't mentally or physically ready to do anything. It made me cringe slightly. We had only had I think one 'snog fest' and that was interrupted by Theodore. It did worry me though, things would eventually have to happen. Pansy well she wasn't a slut but still she wasn't no virgin. She told me everything, she never bragged about it or always talked about it. she hadn't actually lost her virginity but well other things. I mean we couldn't we were around people constantly. She normally said something about it before going to bed. She was 16 now though. I mean she has been with Blaise for a long time now. I wonder if he ever spoke about anything like that to Draco. I - OVERTHINKING HANNAH! . Well I mean mum did start talking to me about this in the summer just lightly, she told me to be 'careful' but that conversation never finished.

'Anyway , Oh my god, we will be there together. We need to go dress shopping and we can get ready together and oh my god, you will love the manor-

'Whats going on here' asked Draco as I instantly turned,

'Mum said I can come' I replied instantly pulling Draco into a hug as he pulled me.

'That's brilliant Han, although now my mother won't stop talking about meeting you. I wasn't lying when I said she likes you' Draco replied as I smiled. I wonder what his mother was like, I had never met her before. I imaged someone with jet black hair, slim, and well like Draco. If she liked me she must be completely different to his farther.

I pulled back and kissed his lips gently staying there for a few moments.

'Guys, please? I'm alone here, you better not be doing that all the time at the ball' Pansy groaned as I chuckled pulled back and turning to her. As the both of us both sat down again on bench, the great hall now beginning to fill up.

'Please, you won't probably even notice. Too busy having fun with Blaise' Draco replied smirking. He and Pansy had a very sister and brother type relationship.

'Totally' smirked Blaise winking as he kissed Pansy's cheek.

'This conversation has turned very- adulty.' I whispered putting my hands of my ears as Draco chuckled.

'What you going on about. What you thinking about Hannah. You dirty little- Blaise started smirking.

'Don't even go there' I warned as I took my realization back onto this whole banned groups.

'Don't tell me, you have something to do with this' Draco replied. I stayed quite. Draco looked at me.

'You said to keep quite' Pansy called in. Draco shook his head,

'You will make me go crazy Hannah.' Draco breathed. As I looked at him.

'Crazy enough to never stop loving you' he added as I heard Pansy gasp, I smiled as I pecked his lips gentle. I couldn't believe I was seeing this side to Draco. It made me so happy, I was finally changing him for the better. Pansy did make me laugh though,

'You have a lot to tell me tonight Hannah'

Draco read the poster fully, as he looked at me. I looked at him confused.

'They can't get rid of the quidditch team' Oh Shit, I had been to worrying about this whole defense group I had completely forgot about quidditch. She wasn't that cruel to get rid of it was she?

This was the only time I would be gladly accept Draco to say-

'My father will hear about this'

'she's gone to bloody far' I snapped. A few hours latter at lunch as I sat down next to a angry Harry, Ron and Hermione.

'She can't know' Hermione asked confused.

'Of course she probably does, there was so many people there' Ron replied.

'No I mean she can't I put a jinx on the paper they all signed. Trust we would know who it was' Hermione replied confused.

'Maybe it was someone who didn't sign' I suggested.

'Harry what are we going to do' said Fred as he came as sat down as well as the many Gryffindor including my siblings, who were there on Saturday returned. I'm pretty sure I was the only Slytherin.

'Well there's only one thing we can do. Still go on with it of course' Harry replied smiling as Fred looked relieved.

'Wicked'

'What are you going to do about your Quidditch team though, that's included' I added in, Draco had gone of to see Umbridge and well, she had granted permission for our team.

Harry looked at me,

'Don't need to ask you. You'r idiot of a boyfriend has already got permission from the witch himself' breathed Ron as he ate he chocolate spread bread.

'Actually he has, and I think you should do to. One of you with all your names signed and be nice and polite when you ask her' I replied back as I looked at Harry. I saw Draco look towards my direction as I turned to the three,

'I will see you-

'You might want to be careful what you say to Umbridge Potter! The last thing you want is to come out with some nonsense like you always do and be sent to St Mungos. I know there's a bed with your name on it there' Draco said quickly as I looked up at me instantly glaring. He ignored me as he smirked at Harry. I got up just as someone pushed past my shoulder- Neville ?

'Neville no!' Hermione said instantly as,

I got up instantly running over to the two as did Harry and Ron, Crabbe and Goyle started to walk towards us as I bit my lip.

Harry and Ron grabbed Neville as I stood in front of Draco, he would never in his right mind hurt me. I glared at him hurt as he just glared at the three behind me.

'That's not funny' Neville said out of breath as Harry and Ron relaxed. Draco looked at me instantly knowing my reacting but bit his lip,

'Not funny, maybe you should lose some weight before looking in the mirror next, LongBottom' Draco replied smirking as Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other and laughed. I slapped Draco's arm as I gripped hold of his arm pulling him away, letting go as he started to walk with me wiping the hair that had fallen down back. I looked apologetic at my friends as I walked away with Draco. I really hadn't changed him.

'Not funny Draco, not bloody funny'

'He had it coming' Draco replied as we walked through the corridor around an hour later. It really annoyed me, I bet Ronald had something fantastic to say about it.

'Draco, you won't apologize so stop talking about it' I muttered as we walked into the Library needing to get books for our charms homework. Draco stayed quiet he knew and I knew he would never apologize.

'You was really mean to Neville Draco. Really mean. ' I said turning to him as he looked down. I bit my lip,

'I know you can't be everything I want you to be. Meaning nice but, just leave my friends and family out of it' I replied turning and go over to the books as I paced them to Draco.

'I'm sorry' he replied lightly. I looked at him and shook my head,

'I'm not the once you should be apologizing to, now shut up about it. I will be the one saving your back from my family' I replied whispering the last part.

'In all offence he started it' Draco replied as we walked out the library and towards the common to drop our bags off before dinner. I just looked at him shaking my head.

'Sometime's Draco, sometime's you can be bloody horrible'

We walked through the common room as I walked up to the 5th floor and into the room I shared with Pansy. I dropped my bag and books. Taking my uniform off and placing black joggers and a black hoodie on. I was cold it was October now so I could understand .I put my Ugg boots and fluffy socks on taking my hair out the braid and letting it hang down.

Pansy came through the door her tie off and top button undone as I looked at her.

'What the hell have you been doing' I asked seeing the huge purple bruise on her neck as she took her blouse off.

'Nothing, I promise. It's just a hickey/ lovebite. No one will see look' she replied as she put a t shirt on and started putting concealer onto it.

'How do you get that' I asked slightly confused. She looked at me.

'Oh Hannah, you have a lot to learn' she replied sitting in front of me showing me the now covered 'hickey'.

'Yes you have the same concealer' she said as she went through my make up bag.

'I mean you haven't had one yet?' asked Pansy as she discussed how and why they get there. I shook my head.

'Nope, I mean I do remember Draco kind of starting to kiss my neck but well, It was near my ear I think and then Theodore came down the stairs and I'd never seen Draco move so fast' I replied remember the even from the first weekend back here this year.

'We never have anytime. I don't complain though. I mean come on look at me Pansy I wear Rugrats pjs still.' I replied as she chuckled nodding.

'your cute and its good. Draco respects you. That's what you want from a man and your sensible' she replied.

'I feel like I might be a virgin for the rest of my life' I replied as she laughed shaking her head.

'More like for a couple years' she corrected me. I really don't know...

'I mean he's basically biting you doesn't it hurt' I asked confused as she bit her lip.

'It's well, no. Just relax. I mean it might happen at the ball. It's natural Hannah really don't worry about it' she whispered as I nodded. Don't worry about it- totally not going to happen.

-

I hugged Draco kissing his lips gently reassuring him, I wasn't mad (ish) at him but he was out of order then and he knows that . I walked over to the Gryffindor table around 40 minutes later as I saw Ron, Hermione and Harry. I sat down next to Ron as I looked at them.

'Harry I'm really sorry about-

'Just forget it honestly Hannah. No offence but we all know he isn't worth it' Harry replied. Yes... and no.

'Although Fred told me you'r going to their Winter Ball' Asked Ron annoyed next to me. I bit my lip.

'Well I am. You need some trust in him Ronald. He's my boyfriend. He isn't my opponent. He really cares about me, you just need to see it.' I replied.

'Can't you see unfortunately no offence, he makes her happy and she's the only one in here that make's him. I think he would be so much worse if Hannah wasn't here' Hermione added in quickly.

'Of course he dose' Harry added. Ron looked at us,

'That git, I can't stop hating him Hannah I'm sorry I can't. But I do see the way you treat each other, and well I do have trust in him for you but well this whole death eater business it still make's me unsure' Ron replied as I nodded.

'Ron I'm dating him, I worry the most probably' I replied as he looked at me shrugging and then nodding. It sounded stupid I trusted Draco but not his farther. Sorry but I believe Harry and well he most certainly is on the same side as Voldemort.

'He will never apologies to anyone, but well I- we - I love him' I replied looking at the table, what the hell was they going to say.

'Took you long enough to realize' Fred said from a few seats to my left I looked at him.

'Well it was easy to know you did, took a bit for us to realize he did. Last year really hit him knowing how much he messed up' Fred added putting bread in his mouth. I looked at Harry, Hermione and Ron.

'It's true' said Hermione as I felt my cheeks turn red.

'He's one bloody git. But if he ever hurts you then well, I don't know at this moment. But I can't stop disliking him when we both know he will still be Malfoy to everyone else.' Ron replied. I nodded. Ron accepting Draco I COULD SEE THE LIGHT.

'Did you hear anything from Sirius' I whispered changing the subject. Harry nodded.

'He said apparently someone from the order was in there, they told Umbridge' Harry whispered as I nodded.

'Gave a message from mum, she doesn't want us at all being involved in the defense against the dark arts groups as we will most likely get expelled' Ron called as I rolled my eyes.

'On the other hand, Sirius thinks its a brilliant Idea' Hermione replied as I chuckled with Harry. I was glad for Harry to have Sirius in his life.

'But apart from that we know somewhere we can meet, without Umbridge knowing' Whispered Harry, I looked at him.

'Room of requirements, 8pm tonight on the seventh floor' Hermione whispered as I smiled.

'Thank god you found somewhere' I breathed feeling happy we were actually going to be able to practice.

'How about we meet you half seven at top of your stairs' Said Harry as I nodded smiling.

'Lets hope we can bloody get into there' Hermione replied as I nodded. But we did need this room, didn't we ?

-

'You'r not in a mood with me are you' Draco breathed as walked round the common room now showered but still in the same cloths. I was trying to find my snake bracelet I got from Draco in first year.

'No of course not hunnie' I whispered picking it up and turning to him. I placed my arms around his neck as his arms wrapped around my waist as we stood in the empty side room in the common room. He smiled at me as I could feel a grin forming.

'I love you. For you. Your are dick at times but your the most caring person I know at others, I wouldn't want you any different' I whispered as I placed my lips on his. He instantly kissed back as I felt my self instantly smile. It started of slow and well it depend the kiss became more needy? I wasn't sure how to describe it, it wasn't slow, it was fast. My hand's moved from his neck to the side of his pulling slightly at his hair as I felt hit tongue, he was soft and gentle and wasn't at all hard. I followed his movements. What if I bit his tongue? Stop worrying. His hands traveled one going lower and lower to my bum and the other holding tight onto me. OMG, I couldn't believe I was doing this, this had never happened before, I had never done this before. I'm not doing anything more and he knows thats. ah- WHAT, HE WAS KISSING MY NECK ! I REPEAT HE WAS KISSING MY NECK AND I DIDN't even realize that. Well kind of sucking? I wasn't sure but I realized I was sitting on the back of the sofa now his hands on my sides as my hands wrapped around his neck. STOP THINKING !

I arched my neck letting him have more space as I bit my lip, realizing the time. Oh Shit 7:33, time to go :(. I can do this Hannah it's not as cringy as you believe. I pushed my face towards him as I reconnected out lips smiling as we stood up straight as I pulled back.

'I have to go, I'm already late' I whispered sadly as we both stood out of . He bit his lip,

'I love you to, Hannah Weasley' I smiled looking at him.

'Where are you going anyway' he asked gently as he wrapped his arm around my wait as we walked towards the closed door, um-

'Just this thing?' I replied wiping my hair from around my face. I looked at him, he was staring at me biting his lip with a slight smirked expression on his face as it changed back to normal. What?

'I won't pressure you into asking, you know that Han. Just try to stay out of trouble from me' he whispered as we walked back into the warm fairly busy common room.

I just smiled at him,

'I have a meeting anyway, I'll walk with you to the stairs' he replied as we walked out the common room. We walked along the corridor and then the first flight of the stairs as he let go of my hand, Draco had a meeting, really?

'See yo back at the common room. You might want to cover your neck from your brother mind you' Draco replied as he pecked my lips winking. Shit. My hands went to my lips as I turned seeing the three waiting outside the Gryffindor common room. What to do, what to do. I pulled my t-shirt up around my neck slightly as pulled on the strings on my hoodie. Let's hope nothing happens...

'Umbridge is in her office' Harry said as we came to the seventh floor. We walked around, so far no one had seen. Not even me!

'It should be here' said Harry as we stopped in front of a wall.

'Dobby said we need to concentrate on what we need, walking past 3 times' said Harry as we looked at each other. Thats just what we did.

'Has it worked' Said Hermione as we stood 5 minutes later outside. I looked slight worrying about anyone being able to see what ever was there.

'Hermione' Ron said as he got my attention also as I looked up. A dirty shiny door appearing. A door not a luminous to grab someones attention.

'Whoa' I whispered. Harry looked at us as he walked forward grabbing hold of the handle and opening the door, quickly following. We walked in. It was a dark room, candles lit. Tidy though. The room was massive, book shelves filled with books on self teaching. Mirrors around as well as cushions surrounding the floor.

'They have everything in here' I asked in amazement as I turned around looking at the whole room as I heard the door open again. My attention stayed of what was in this room. It was truly amazing in here. I chuckled, Hermione was already sat down reading a book. I turned around noticing people walking in. I was happy people had turned up. The room quickly filled up as I stood with Ginny.

'Your hoodie looks tight around your neck' she said pointing her hand as flinched smiling at her.

'No, not at all' I replied as she looked at me nodding.

'Now don't tell me you still don't fancy Harry. I really can see something maybe happening' I asked her as she looked down.

'Maybe he never notices me' she replied angry as more people came in including Cho.

'I don't like her' we both said at the same time, we looked at each other and chuckled.

'What, Cedric died and now she's interested'Ginny whispered as we turned the door closing. Hermione stood next to me behind Harry and Ron.

'Right' Harry muttered as he now had eveyone's attention. Hermione put her arm up slightly as Harry looked at her.

'I think we should have a name' she asked as Harry looked at her nodding.

'I think thats a good idea' he replied.

'Something that doesn't give us away, something that has a secret meaning' I called out instantly. Harry nodded.

'Defense Association, D.A. for short. No one would have a clue.' Cho called out as Harry nodded.

'Yeah it's good, D.A but maybe change it to stand for Dumbledore's Army. That is the Ministry's worse fear, isn't it?' Ginny called out, Chos smiling vanishing as Hermione and I smirked at each other.

'Totally hasn't stopped' Hermione whispered as I nodded looking at Harry. People looked around agreeing with Ginny.

'All in favor raise your hands' I called as majority of people raised their hands I smiled.

'Motion Passed' Hermione cheered. As she placed the paper with the name 'DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY' with all of our names.

"So what should we stat practicing on?"
