Author's Note:One thing I changed was that Rolf lived in America and went to Ilvermorny instead of him going to Hogwarts. If you like this Dramione fan fic please leave a review. If I get at least three good reviews I'll upload more chapters. Constructive criticism is appreciated. P.S. I'm not sure how long I'm going to make the story, but I'll let you know when I do know. Happy reading! :)

Forever

Hermione's P.O.V.:

The minute I fell in love with Draco Malfoy I knew it would be forever. I couldn't help it. I knew he was taken, so I just let him slip through my fingers. I think he felt it too otherwise I wouldn't be in this mess, and it all started in the States...

One Month Ago...

Hermione's P.O.V.:

Over the past four years after the war I had become pretty close with Luna Lovegood. That's why when she came back from traveling to the States with an engagement ring and Rolf Scamander attached to her hip I knew she only came back to say goodbye.

That's how I ended up on a muggle ship to America. There wasn't anything left for me back in England now. After Ron and I broke up, he forced everyone to take sides. All his siblings and Harry didn't want to choose, so I made it easy for them. I moved to London. I still promised Harry I'd write, so we wouldn't lose touch. Luna was the only one who made the easy decision to be on my side. Together, we moved into a little flat in London. Now that she was leaving, I had no reason not to too. This could be my fresh start. No flashing cameras, no complicated friendships, no solitary living. Just me and America.

When I got to New York, it was not what I expected. Instead of cold rains in the fall there was a light blanket of snow over everything. Right then and there I realized that this was where I belonged. I pulled my coat edges close together and apparated to the address that Luna gave me.

When I arrived on the doorstep, I was amazed at the beautiful Manor in front of me. Although it looked quite spacious and big, it still looked cozy unlike Malfoy Manor. Shivers ran up my spine as I thought about my experience there. I rang the doorbell hoping that Luna would be the one to answer. As footsteps sounded closer and closer, I was shocked by who the pair of feet belonged to. Standing in the doorway was Draco Malfoy.

Draco's P.O.V.:

I touched the port key at the Ministry as it transported my things and me to New York. This was going to be my last chance at a vacation before I am no longer a free man. The Malfoys were no longer on top. Instead, we were the most hated wizarding family alive. Father was banned from using magic ever again, and Mother and I were on probation for a year. The only way to restore our family name was for me to marry into another good wizarding family.

That's how I ended up engaged to Astoria Greengrass. We've always been good friends, but we never thought of each other in that sense. We didn't even get a say in it because our fathers arranged it. Both of us had stopped believing in blood prejudice, but our fathers still believed in that nonsense. That's why America was going to be my final getaway.

I was going to be staying with my friends Rolf whom I met a few year ago when I journeyed to America right after my year of probation ended. In America, the name Malfoy means nothing. It was like I had a second chance.

When I entered his Manor, I was surprised to see the continuous animal theme. Then again, his grandfather was the well known magizooligist Newt Scamander. He greeted me with open arms and led me to the living area. I was most shocked to see Luna Lovegood sitting on a bar stool staring into the air dreamily. I supposed Rolf saw my mouth hanging open because that's when he introduced her.

"Draco this is my beautiful fiancée Luna. Luna this is Draco, the friend I was talking about. Luna is also British," Rolf said looking lovingly at Luna. It seemed that at that moment Luna finally woke from her day dream.

"Malfoy?"

"Lovegood," I said looking her in the eyes. Rolf stared at us in confusion.

"Do you two know each other?" Rolf asked glancing back and forth between Luna and me.

"Yes, we went to Hogwarts together," answered Luna breaking my eye contact. "But we weren't the best of friends."

"Ah Hogwarts! My grandfather used to tell me about that school. Although I never thought it would compare to Ilvermorny," Rolf said looking like he was lost in thoughts, probably about his old school days.

"Does Ilvermorny have houses too?" I asked hoping to change to subject.

"Why yes it does. I myself, am a Pukwudgie. Our founder based it off of Hogwarts actually. Did you know she was a descendant of Slytherin?"

"He should. He was a Slytherin," Luna quickly interrupted. Her voice showed the disgust in her face which she didn't try to hide. Suddenly, I felt a bit uneasy, and I wondered if this trip should be cut short.

Rolf pulled Luna aside talking in whispers. As soon as they started their conversation, the doorbell rang.

"Could you please get that Draco?" He asked. I nodded and walked quickly to the door.

"No don't-" Luna shouted, but it was too late. When I opened the door, I went rigid. Standing in front of me was my childhood enemy Hermione Granger.

3rd Person P.O.V.:

"Granger, what are you doing here?" Draco mildly shouted at Hermione.

"I could ask you the same thing Malfoy!"

Luna came running to the door closely followed by Rolf. "I think I could shed a little light on this situation," Luna said intervening.

"Oh please do," Hermione said sounding almost hysterical.

"Well you see, Rolf here said his friend was going to be staying here on vacation. He didn't however mention that his friend was Malfoy," Luna explained. Then, she looked at Draco," Hermione is here because she was moving to America with me and needed a place to stay at this time."

"Well Malfoy, I guess we're going to have to learn to get along," Hermione said holding out her hand.

Draco took it and firmly shook. He let Hermione through as she took in the beautiful inside of the manor.

"I'll show you to your rooms," Luna announced," You will both be staying in the West wing unless someone would like to change rooms." She paused as they both shook their heads then resumed talking," Rolf and I will be in the East wing if any of you need anything."

She stopped talking and stopped in from of a big oak door which had a gold plate on it which read Hermione Granger.Hermione was shocked by how beautiful the room was. It had a giant window with scarlet drapes and a large wooden dresser. In the center of the room, was a 4 poster bed with a queen size mattress that had a white duvet on top and matching pillowcases. A set of doors were on the other side of the room which led to the bathroom.

Luna left Hermione in her room and led Draco to a room across the hall. It was almost exactly like Hermione's except the drapes were a deep green. Luan wondered why Rolf was surprised she knew Draco if he knew his house color was green. She left her guests in their rooms to settle in and walked down the spiral staircase.
