A/N: Hope you enjoy this update. Sorry, I'm in a bad mood.
For any of you that are interested in what's going on in my personal life, that guy I asked out, he said no. I'm so depressed! I could probably rewrite the whole last chapter now with a much better understanding. Oh, well. I suppose I'll recover soon. Life goes on, as we all learn.

Susan's PoV:
As I was getting ready to board the Hogwarts Express, I ran into Hannah. "Hey Susan!" she exclaimed. "How was your summer?"
I tried to smile. "Oh, it was fine. Yours?"
"Oh, you know, the same."
They went aboard the train together and sat down in a compartment. They chit chatted for awhile, but finally I couldn't take it anymore.
"Hannah." I said.
"What's up?" she asked.
"It's Draco."
"Oh, not him again. I thought you'd given up on him. Come on, you have to move on, Susan. It's over between you two."
"No. No, it's not. I love Draco. I have to fix things." And I went running off to a different car of the train to find Draco.
On the last car of the train I found him, sitting all alone in a compartment. I dreaded to think how he'd spent all his time alone. At first I was too scared. I turned around to leave. But I had to face my fears. I sat down next to him.
He looked up, startled. "Hello, Draco," I said.
"Hi."
"How was your summer?" I asked him, trying to get some conversation.
"The usual."
"I was getting no response. So I just jumped right in. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" he asked quietly. "You didn't do anything wrong."
"Yes I did. Just let me talk. You did the right thing. You made a mistake. I realize that, but we all make mistakes. And you didn't run or hide from yours. You faced it head on, and I admire that. Few people could do what you did. And I was too hurt by your action with Pansy to realize how hard that was for you and what it meant. I want to know if there's any chance of us getting back together, please tell me. If not, well, now's the chance for you to break my heart like I broke yours."
He looked at me. Intently. I stared back. Into his crystal blue eyes. I waited for his response.
"Okay," he said, "Yes, okay. We'll give it another shot. I couldn't stand living without you this summer."
"Thank god," I said. Then I started to cry. They weren't sad tears, but tears of relief. I hadn't realized just how scared I was about asking Draco to take me back. But now I just let the tears flow freely from my face.
Gingerly, Draco took my hand. I couldn't resist his touch. I lay my head on his shoulder and just cried my eyes out for the rest of the trip. He just silently held me, and I felt extremely safe and secure.

Draco's PoV:
I dreaded going back to Hogwarts. You know, that school where I my girlfriend had dumped me last year, I had no friends, I sat all alone and no one talked to me. Yeah, it pretty much sucked.
I sat down in the last car of the train in a compartment all by myself. I reflected on everything that had happened. All I really wanted was Susan back. But I'd gone on. Soon I'd leave Hogwarts. Maybe I'd travel and meet new people. Life does go on. That had been the ultimate slap in the face. But I'll survive it. After all, I'm a Malfoy. And Malfoys can make it through anything.
I was aimlessly staring out the window. Suddenly I heard someone approach. I figured that it was probably someone coming to make fun of me. But the person sat down next to me. I looked to see who it was.
Susan. "Hello, Draco." she said to me.
I didn't know what to say, or what to do. "Hi."
"How was your summer?"
Huh? What was she talking about? You don't just come up to your ex-boyfriend and ask him how his summer was. Or at least, not in our case. What could I say? 'It was horrible. I've been depressed ever since you left me and have seriously thought about suicide?' Umm, no. Instead, I just said, "The usual."
I could see she wanted to talk to me. But about what? She should just say it, I can't read minds, you know.
So she did. "I'm sorry," she told me.
I almost laughed. "For what? You didn't do anything wrong." After all, I was the one that had killed our relationship by cheating on her with Pansy.
And then Susan started a whole long speech. About how she was sorry and that I did the right thing by telling her. And then she asked me to go out with her again.
I just looked at her. Taking in every sight. It was her eyes that interested me most, though. At times when she was happy, they had been bright, dazzling emerald. Now they were a soft, dull green. Not unattractive, but rather troubled. Of course, I knew that I would say yes. But looking into those eyes just confirmed my thoughts and I knew we belonged together.
"Okay," I told her, "Yes, okay. We'll give it another shot." Then I shared my feelings with her. "I couldn't stand living without you this summer."
"Thank God," she said. It suddenly occured to me that she might feel the same way. And as soon as the tears started pouring from her eyes, I knew that was true. At first I thought something was wrong. Then I realized they were tears of happiness and relief.
I knew what to do, how to take care of her. I took her hand, and she welcomed my touch. She rested her head on my shoulder, and cried into my robes. I just held her. That was all I wanted to do now. And I wanted to do it for the rest of my life. I wanted to hold Susan, my Susan.

A/N: Yea, they're back together now!
Disclaimer: Okay, I haven't put one of these things in, in a long time. First off, Harry Potter characters are not mine. Secondly, that line that Draco said, "the ultimate slap in the face" I stole that too. But that wasn't copy righted. That's what my ex-boyfriend said to me after I broke up with him two years ago. I thought it kind of fit in the story so I added it. I just hope he doesn't read this!
