A/N This chapter is probably a big disappointment for all you Draco-Hermione people. But that's the way it is! Sometimes up and sometimes down....or whatever I feel like writing down for you people. I must say that I am so happy that people (thats YOU) are enjoying this story. My friend Sarah reads all my stories but she seems to like this one the best, even if she doesn't tell me that. She keeps saying "You better start writing a new chapter for To Love Somebody." And I'm like, "Okay" and then I'm trying to think of something to happen and all that stuff, but it finally hit me what I should do and this is the result.
And yes, I did change my pen name. I used to be Lady Alanna Salmalin of Conte, now I am Princess Alanna of Conte.
Ginny stood in the doorway. A shocked look upon her face. "What the hell is going on?" she asked, horrified.
Hermione stepped away from Draco. "Ginny, I...."
"Tell me the truth," Ginny shrieked.
"Ginny, Draco and I met up and....."
"Is this what you meant when you said you met up with Malfoy?" Ginny demanded. "Is it?"
"Yes," Hermione whispered. "Only this wasn't supposed to happen."
"What do you mean by that?" Draco asked.
"What do I mean by what?" Hermione asked Draco.
"What do you mean that this wasn't supposed to happen?" Draco asked. "I thought you and I had something."
"Where would you get an idea like that?" Hermione demanded. "I never asked to be one of yours!"
"But, I thought that date that we had and how much fun we had. I thought that we were, you know, a couple," Draco said softly.
"A couple?" Ginny demanded. "I don't understand this at all. A couple? No! Hermione, what about Harry?"
"Harry?" Draco said, staring at Hermione, wide eyed. "Harry? What about Harry?"
"Hermione and Harry are engaged," Ginny told Draco.
"Is this true, Hermione?" Draco asked, looking hurt.
"Yes, it is," Hermione said, holding back tears.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Draco asked.
"Why do you think I was in your sister's office? Do you think I go to wedding planner's for the hell of it?" Hermione yelled.
"I wouldn't know! I don't do that!" Draco yelled at her. He didn't mean what he said. He just couldn't believe how stupid he had been to not put the pieces together before. He should've known that it was too good to last. Everything that he loves gets taken away in the end.
"Hermione, why did you go with Malfoy in the first place?" Ginny asked calmly.
Hermione sat down on the steps. "I don't know. I..I...I don't know."
"Malfoy, why did you ask Hermione to go out with you?" Ginny asked.
"Because..because I love her," Draco answered solemnly.
"Hermione, do you love Malfoy?" Ginny asked.
Hermione looked at Draco. Sure, she was attracted to him. Who wasn't? But this was not the sort of thing that she would give up her wonderful relationship with Harry for. So she answered the best way she could. "No, I don't. I don't love him.."
"Well, then, we must settle this. Malfoy, leave Hermione alone. She doesn't love you. Hermione, marry Harry. You two should never cross paths and shouldn't have to," Ginny said reasonably.
Hermione nodded. This was for the best, of course.
"Fine!" Draco yelled and stomped off. He got into his car and drove off. (A/N I thought this was more classy than having him apparate)
Ginny sat down next to Hermione. "Soon you'll see that this was for the best."
"You know?" Hermione asked, wiping her eyes on her sleeve.
"Of course, Hermione, I know that you're attracted to him. I'm your best friend! I can see all!" Ginny said hugging Hermione around the shoulders. "It's for the best, you know."
A fight scene! Gotta love it. Anyway, I would LOVE to thank all of you who reviewed this story and encouraging me to continue. THANKS!!!!!!!!!
